Cant change or delete apple id used for iphone and itunes

id managment issue. I have an id based on my current email account. I can't recall the password and can't reset the password. I get the email to reset the password however when I enter the new password and hit submit it says the id is in use. Have been trying to contact Apple but no response. Have created a new email account and new apple id's to get around the problem but would like to delete the original and or at least change the password. Suggestions?

I FOUND THE SOLUTION!
I had the same exact problem. I had my old apple ID connected to a school email which did not exist anymore. My ipad was prompting me to put the password in for that ID and I could not delete it from my ipad because the "Find My Ipad" was turned on, once again prompting for password. I called apple and they said this Apple no longer exists and is not in there system, which I knew already. After hours on the phone nobody could help me. Try this.
-Go to create a new Apple ID and use the same email address as the old apple ID which is locked in on your ipad
-Create a new password and all that, it will say it send a verification link to your email, in my case my email no longer exists so I could not do this
- I called Apple to explain this problem and I asked if they could verify it for me, which they did after I convinced them it was worth a try. The guy told me that the verification shouldnt matter and should still be able to login but he did it anyway. You can try skipping this step but if it doesn't work then go ahead.
-Go to ICloud and click on your account, the email should be grayed out but it should allow you to change that password, put in the new password which you just created.
-This allowed me to sign in to accept the new terms and conditions but it said "unable to conncet to server" so I just backed out and went to "Delete Account" and it worked!
The whole idea is to re-create your old apple ID into Apple's system and then use that new password. The guy at Apple said tons of people called about this problem and nobody could solve it. I thanked him for helping me and he thanked me for helping him. I hope this helps you!

Can Numbs app for iPad be used for iPhone and iMac?

Can Numbs app for iPad be used for iPhone and iMac?

I assume that you mean Numbers, in which case the iPad version can be used on the iPhone (if you've got the current version of Numbers then you will need iOS 5 on your iPhone). It can't be used on your iMac as that is a different operating system, you will need the Mac OS X version for that - but you can use spreadsheets created in Numbers on the iPad in Numbers on the Mac and vice versa.

How to manage different apple id's for icloud and itunes purchases and game center etc. ?

Hi
Myself and my brother have been sharing the same apple id for all the itunes purchases. We both have iphone 4. Since the introduction of icloud, we are little confused about the id managing process. Yesterday, we both updated our iOS to iOS 5. And, just after installing iOS 5, we were asked to enter apple id and password. We both entered the same id and password. Now both are iphones have overlapping contacts and other stuff.
Now, we have deciced that we want to make separate apple id's for ourselves i.e we want different apple id's for our iclouds (plus game center) and same apple id's for all our itunes purchases (if we are allowed to do that).
So now we have no idea how to do this after once entering the same id during iOS 5 installation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If you're wanting to share content between multiple apple ids in the family I would suggest to use iTunes match.

How can i download ios 7.1 without using my iphone and itunes

If you don't use your phone and you don't use iTunes, what are you expecting to use? Your options to update your device are Over The Air through Settings>General>Software Update or by connecting the device to iTunes and updating.
Best of luck.

Sync settings for iphone and itunes

I am trying to sync my iphone and everytime I do my playlists drop songs. I would prefer the device to push from the iphone and not vice versa. How do I set this?

YOUwould think that setting up playlists in iTunes that even if you then delete a playlist or a song on the iPhone, the original playlist should stay there! WRONG! This is the 2nd time I went to play a song on my iPhone and suddenly the iPhone told me "No Content". The song's data had disappeared, but the playlist was still there. here is the first thing I discovered. DO NOT DELETE THE playlist if you want it to still exist in iTunes. As soon as you delete the playlist, the next sync with iTunes will DELETE THE PLAYLIST in iTunes. The songs seem to stay in iTunes, but the playlists disappear along with the songs assigned to them. Weirdly if you list your songs on the iPhone by Song, rather than playlist, they all still show up! If you try to play one, the iPhone starts going down the alphabetical list trying to find a song to play since the one you previously found out was gone, is still gone and can't play. Once the iPhone finds a song to play it will stop running down the list. If you stop the song that is playing and look at the list by song again, you will see all the songs in front of the one being played that are missing have a red circle with a red square next to them. If you try to delete any song with a red circle/square iTunes will crash. Relaunching iTunes all the songs that had the red circle/square are gone and the last song in the play by song list is the one that the iPhone was able to play last. When this happened I lost 97% of the songs on my iPhone. I deleted the playlists just to clean up the iPhone and the next sync - all of the playlists I had deleted were gone in Itunes. The songs were still in iTunes, but the playlists were gone! I suspect the code is designed for listing by song since this is the "first" or "default" lising in iTunes. The other organizations of songs - playlists, artists, etc are added. If songs are disappearing FROM iTUNES as well as playlists, then Apple has a serious problem. I have seen similar complaints for 5 years! Come On APPLE FIX IT already!

Required upgrades for iPhone and iTunes?

I am running Mac OS X 10.4 and was wondering what I need to upgrade to to purchase an iPhone and download iTunes 10.

You need at least 10.5.8, which is the max OS a PPC Mac can run, yet has some shortcomings if you use Calendar Syncing, or 10.6.x if you have an Intel Mac.
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it! Helps to tell them you have an iPad/iPhone & you can't run 10.6.
There are workarounds if the 867MHz is the only hangup...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/leopardassist/
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

The other Option is a PC running at least XP SP3, iirc.

How to delete NFS storage used for serverpool and repository.

Hi All,
OVM server: 3.2.2
Manager: 3.2.2
Storage : NFS Share
When I am trying to delete a storage NFS file storage from VM Manager, I am getting the below error.
OVMRU_002013E: File system delete is not supported by generic plugin associated with this file server : kamalnfs. [Mon Dec 09 18:56:17 IST 2013]
Please let me know the process for deleting the serverpool and the NFS storage from VM manager.
Is there any different process when using NFS share as the storage
Even when I try to delete the server pool it says
OVMAPI_7281E Cannot refresh file system: nfs:/kamal1. No servers available. Reasons:
Regards,
Krishna
Please provide any inputs

Can you please post the complete job log? The 2nd error seems to stem from the fact that the NFS mount is not available on any OVMs, is it?

Friend deleted app (my disk for iphone) and need to get back data from my icloud backup...need help!

     I had this app called my disk (app store name is: Lock photo+video safe - secure folder manager to protect private photos vault & hide secret picture file privacy) This app lets me have two passwords with different pictures and videos in each of them. It's a really great app.
     My friend deleted the app by "accident" and I need to get the app back with all my data. I have a backup of the app on my icloud backup that was taken place two months ago (around same time the app was deleted). It shows up in the cloud saying I have 4gb worth of that app in the cloud. I restore my phone back to that backup but the app data is not there. I wasn't sure if I had to wait till my iphone backs up everything (like music and pictures for example) for it to show up but as soon as the app downloaded I opened it hapilly knowing I have my data back but unfortunately it was not there. In the app itself, there's an option to backup from the cloud but it just brings up this window that says you can back up from the cloud (doesn't have a place to hit that says restore or anything).
     Is there something I am doing wrong? Can anyone help me? I really need that app data back because I have pictures of memories with friends and family inside that app that I do not have anywhere else. Once i get the back back ill be sure to save the photos onto my computer just incase anything goes wrong again.
Thanks everyone for the help!
Nikhil

fwiw
It seems that in a case like this you'd need to reset the device to factory settings and then restore from iCloud backup.
Sadly the reset to factory settings could cause more trouble than its worth.
Apple's iCloud backup, could, but does not let the user restore one app or its data.
You'll also find that even though that App's data is in the cloud, you as its owner do not have access to it.
Hope it helps/

I have forgotten my apple ID password for email and iTunes but can't access retrieve emails

I can't get current emails to my I cloud account as its saying my password is incorrect. I can't then access the retrieve email for new password. I've also forgotten my security questions. Please help !

If you've forgotten your account's password then you might be able to get it reset via this page http://iforgot.apple.com
If you've forgotten the answers to your security questions then if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

I cant change my alternate apple id. How can i change or delete it?

I cant change my alternate apple id. is there any way to delete or change it?

Think about it.
If you lost yours in the middle of the road what would you want to happen? For the finder to try and make it their own or for them to try to get it back to you?
THe activation lock cannot be broken so the device is as good as dead to you. You'll never be able to make it your own.

I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

I have an Apple computer, use both Firefox and Safari browsers, use Comcast for my email. Lately, when on Firefox, my email is not functioning properly. Why?

I have an Apple computer, use both Safari and Firefox browsers. I use both Apple mail and Comcast for my email. Lately, when in Firefox, my email does not work properly. I get a message "your servers license has expired". While I can usually access my emails I cannot delete unwanted emails. This problem does not happen when I use Safari and Apple mail. Is this a Firefox issue or Comcast? Do you know what license expiration refers to?
