Can't Sign In to Apple Support Communities

I had to make another account just to post this in here.  The Apple website won't let me log into my account.  The website wants me to create an Apple Support Community username even though I already have one.  And when I try to make a Username it tells me that I already have one.  What's up with that?
I've tried logging in in Safari and FireFox because I know sometimes browsers do weird things.  But I just got the same results.
This is what it looked like...
Message was edited by: †™ - For Some reason the website wouldn't let me add the third picture so I had to edit the post to get it in.  Just another bug with the website...

the more i use apple items the more i realize there ANYTHING BUT EASY TO USE!!!
clicking Bold/underlined/itallics  asks me if i want to leave the apple web page.

    You cannot remove any records, comment etc that already exist.   As Neil says, stop using your account.   Pretty soon you will fade into obscurity.

  • I signed up for Apple ID and Apple Support Communities separately. Can I merge the two accounts?

    I signed up for an "Apple ID" and an "Apple Support Communities username" separately using the same e-mail address.  Is there any way to merge the two accounts?
    I signed up for "Apple Support Communities" several years ago to get help with Apple products. I then signed up for an "Apple ID" later on to buy stuff at the iTunes Store.
    I was trying to access "Apple Support Communities" using my Apple ID and I get prompted to choose a username. But when I type my current username, it says the username is already taken. Alternatively, if I try to choose a new username to go along with my Apple ID, I get a message saying that there is a username already assigned to my e-mail address.
    For some reason, "Apple Support Communities" is not intuitively syncing the two accounts together despite the fact that they are linked to the same e-mail address.
    I don't want to cancel either of these accounts since I have activities using one/the other that I do want to preserve.
    Can anyone help me merge these two accounts together?
    Thanks.

    I will do it for you.   I can't say they will take any action, they operate in their own way, but if they feel there may be a threat to your security they will normally take it seriously.   My guess is they would eMail their actions to you, though not to me of course.
    I hope this will help.
    Okay; I've now reported the thread.

  • Can't sign into apple support communities with icloud apple id

    i realise this isn't the right community for this question, but apple don't have a support category called "apple support".
    i have that problem where I have an appleid called "frumbert", which I got about 10 years ago. it is and always has been tied to my gmail email address. i used this for about 5 years worth of itunes purchases, then forgot it for a couple of years.
    when I got an ipad I also got an icloud account, and stupidly signed up using my gmail email address as my icloud username. it's tied to the same gmail email address as my existing "frumbert" account. i've since made all my itunes and app purchases using my icloud appleid, and it's the one associated with my mac warranties and such.
    so two appleid's share the same email address.
    i can't sign into apple support commuities with it because I need a new username. i can't create a new username because the email address is tied to an account already (this one, the old one, "frumbert"). An account utilizing this email address already exists. Only one account per email address is allowed on Apple Support Communities. Apple's way of saying you're c-ockblocked!
    but I can't also change the "frumbert" account because there's another account with the same email address, my icloud one.
    fark! how does one get out of this mess?

    I'm having the exact same problem and so are a lot of other people. Apple's solution - shut up and create a new account just for the support community.
    Smells outsourced to me!

  • How can I change my Apple Support Communities Name?

    How can I change my Apple Support Communities Name? I want to change it because I made it a long time ago and want a different name. I want to start using Apple Support Communities a lot more and start helping people, But I want a different name.

    It is possible he was incorrect.
    > When you signed up you were not given the opportunity to create an alias? I find that hard to believe given the number of people who have joined since that have there own alias. Apple assigned xdcdx to you?
    Yes, back on 2007 I chose xdcdx.
    Forward to 2011: I change the email address of my Apple ID to my current email address.
    I login to Apple Support Communities (which I had not logged in to since 2007) and to my surprise I see this nickname that I almost didn't remember using here.
    For me, it's irrational that I am able to change the main email address of my Apple ID (is there any piece of information more important than that?), but not this little username on this subpar forum system (subpar because of the web design/engineering, I don't mean to offend all the people here which are always quite helpful).
    I upgrade to iCloud, and my email address gets hardcoded to my Apple ID. That's good, because I want this email address. In that case, they make sure to warn you that you had to chose an email address as an Apple ID for iCloud. That was not the case in this forums.

    How many million participants have these forums?
    At least you do not seem to disagree with me that these forum are subpar compared to the usual Apple perfectionism level (see iCloud nice web user interface, for another fine example). This thing still looks like a forum from 2007.
    > Yes on an extremely limited basis Apple has made the change for longtime users (only two that I know of) with one of those a request for security reasons. That does not mean it is easy.
    I still am not convinced that it is technically that difficult. I think it just a policy on part of Apple to avoid banal username change requests.
    In part, I am not more active in this forums because I do not want my words to be associated to this nickname, becayse it is used on internet by tons of other people for other stuff, as a Google result will show.
    Anyway, thanks for your words. I'll keep looking from time to time for the username change feature, because I do want to contribute to these forums.

  • Apple Support Communities permalinks fail when logged in (work only whilst signed out)

    Example
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15351904#15351904 should present a reply by Elizabeth Vetter on the third page of a discussion.
    Bug: the link presents the opening post at the top of first page.
    Only if I sign out does the permalink present the required post.
    My current preference is flat discussion, threaded comments.
    I searched for other discussions of problems with permalinks, found none … am I alone?

    If threaded is a partial workaround, it is not ideal. I rarely prefer threaded.
    Side note
    The narrowness of threaded (more generally, the narrow non-elastic design of Apple Support Communities at this time) makes it unnecessary difficult to work with plain text, as is used when pasting code.

    dear apple support communities, how can i fix this problem?

    i have change the directory after i install GMT 5
    but i was wrong and that are the result,.
    please help me

    or could you please tell me how to see if i have a back up? and how i can restore it?
    If you do not know whether you have a backup or not, then you DO NOT have a backup.  I'm assuming you have not been running Time Machine, nor any other backup utility.
    and then i dont know what to write to get me into the right directory
    Shell initialization files (.bash_profile, .bashrc, etc...) go in your home folder.  The environment variable $HOME contains the path to your home folder.  The commands I gave you will edit the file in the correct directory.
    but i'm still new
    Everyone has to start somewhere.
    To give any editing advice, we need to know what you "REALLY" want to accomplish, especially if you have little or no command line knowledge.
    Why are you in the Terminal in the first place?
    Why are you trying to edit .bash_profile and/or .bashrc?
    What do you hope to accomplish when everything is done?
    If you are following someone else's instructions, what are they?  Post them here, or give a simple pointer (and by simple, I mean we are volunteers, so we do not want to spend hours digging in some web site to find the instructions, so make our job easy, so we can make it easy for you).

  • How can I change my email address on Apple Support Communities?

    Currently, I receive emails from Apple Support Communities on my Hotmail account, which is also my Apple ID.

    I guess it would help. All I really need is for my all emails from Apple Support Communities to go to my account @icloud.com. But Apple ID does not allow to use emails created on Apple-owned domains. So I technically must have at least 2 email accounts, which isn't really convenient.

  • Can't stop receiving apple support communities updates

    For the past few days I've been receiving 'apple support communities updates' on a continuous basis. They are all coming from 'iTunes for Mac' community. I've de-selected all the types of notifications in my notifications section of my profile, but they continue to be delivered to me. I currently have over 300 in my gmail account and that's after deleting 150 or so already.
    Has this ever happened to anyone else. It's like a  subversive plot that someone is doing to me. Any ideas on how to resolve this incessant delivery? Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Mailbox being disrupted by Apple Support Communities

    I'm new to this. I signed up because I needed an answer to a simple question. I don't have time to dedicate my life to learning the nuances of this system. Since then my mailbox has been flooded with emails from Apple Support Communities. I have turned off all the Email Notification Preferences but still get hundreds of these emails having nothing to do with my question and it's making me angry and costing me money. I see no way to contact or call them or opt out from the program all together. I didn't expect this from Apple.
    Can anyone help me.

  • I cannot sign in to Apple support

    I've had an Apple Support account for years, but in the past week, every time that I try to sign in to it, I get this message:
    Apple Support Communities
    We're sorry. Your account could not be created due to system issues.
    Please contact Apple Support Communities with the information below to create your account.
    Even though I've followed the instructions about ten times, I get no response.
    What's going on, and how can I rectify it?
    (I'm using my wife's account now)

    Add me to the list.  Cannot log in using the only Apple ID I've ever had.  And complete, yawning silence from email queries to Apple.  Had to create a new ID in order to post this message.
    (I don't get any responses to my other queries about an iTunes Connect account, either.  What in the Sam Hill happened to Apple?)
