Changing country and you get locked out of your iTunes account?

Hi All,
Can anyone help? I've sadly got nowhere with Apple sending just a cut and paste process that I've tried (and which fails to understand the point)
I have n itunes account set up in the UK. I've moved myself and my UK bank account address to the US and yet whatever I do I get the usual "your bank account number is no t a vlid bank account number" etc
- Applecare say this is a common problem for expats and they cant help try the iTunes helpdesk
- Itunes helpdesk is just an email address from cut and paste people who dont reply to specific problems (and customers)
1. I dont want or see the need to change bank accounts just to continue my custom with Apple.
2. As I am a UK ITunes customer. I HAVE to enter a UK postcode but I cant because my UK bank account is (of course) now a US ZIP code
3. I shouldn't have to add a new (and unnecessarily confusing and tedious) second iTunes account even if I *can* have "up to five accounts per device" - I have several Macs/Mac books, iPhones etc and I really dont want to turn what should be a simple financial relationship into a messy multiple account relationship. (I love Apple, believe it or not, so if Amazon can do it all with a single account and multiple devices (UK *OR* US) then so can Apple who are genyine experts in inventory management (since 1997)
(its a case of I'm ****** if I do and ****** if I dont)
Any suggestions most welcome - I'm getting increasingly fed up that I cannot install apps on the iphone (or even update them!!) and add to that the fact that now I cant download apps via the fancy-schmancy appstore on my Macbook pro 2011 because... yes you guessed it, I'm stuck with the same iTunes store question (Before replying please see point 1 above before suggesting point 1) <wink>

(And @moderator this subnote isnt "off topic", its just letting colleagues know I'm not in the habit of swearing - something that the search and replace word-bot actaully makes it look worse than it is!!)
Many thanks - please dont delet this footnote (again)

I have been locked out of my iTunes account. How do I unlock it?

Upon purchasing an album on iTunes, security questions were asked. I could not remember one of the questions and tried multiple times to get it right. I never did. Then, I was locked out of my iTunes account and cannot purchase anything. I remember the answer to the question now but it won't let me try to answer it anymore.

How can I use CS4 on 2 computers and not get locked out

I have CS4 on 1 computer and plan to install it on a 2nd computer. If I send work from computer 1 to computer 2, can I work on it on computer 2 and then return to computer 1 and work on it? In the past I have had trouble getting locked out when I have tried to work on the same webpage on 2 computers. I use IE 7 & 8, firefox, and HX pro. Note, I would not be working on the 2 computers at the same time.
Adobe help has advised me not to try what I've described above, but isn't this what Contribute should be able to do?
Thanks for your help.

You're welcome. '
WiFI and Bluetooth are automatically trurned off when enabling airplane mode - you have to turn them back on to use them.
WiFi and Blue tooth do NOT involve any carrier roaming charges. You may have to pay for lockal WiFi hotspot, but that has nothing to do with your carrier charges.

I was locked out of my itunes account ....was never given security questions to answerand i keep getting asked to answer them ..support is no help either ..does any one no what to do

i keep getting asked to answer security questions for my itunes account ..i was never asked to set upthose questions now i;m locked out and support is no help can some one help me please

Try calling Tech Support, they should be able to check to see if theres a lock and try to help you reset it, I had to call and get my account unflagged, for something that I didn't even do.

I've been locked out of my iTunes account and Apple support say they can't reset it!

Apple seems to have a problem in which some accounts become locked and cannot be unlocked. Don’t bother responding with comment s like which i pulled form this site while tracking down my login issues:
"IT'S YOUR ACCOUNT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IF YOUR STUPID ENOUGH TO SET UP AN ACCOUNT YOU CAN'T ACCESS THAN KICK YOUR OWN...TAIL!!! Pathetic cry babies....smh!"
This is my issue. My account has worked without an issue since I created the account 1+ years ago. Then for some reason i was prompted and i could not sign into my account. I went to iForgot site
Requested Email Verification to unlock account – I request email verification but the email does not arrive. I know my account emsil account works. I receive email every day to the email account from friends, family and even Apple (download billing receipts, and other apple notifications). I created another "test" apple id and received an email without This option does not work either because the verification email is not sent (or never arrives)
Next I went down the challenge question path. I cannot get past the enter birthdate page as it is never considers my birth date as valid entry. And yes, i know my birthdate but it is no longer accepted as a valid input.
I had a chat session with Apple support and they are aware of this type of issue but there is no process in place to fix these accounts. According to Apple Support (the person i chatted with) there is concern about protecting users identity by giving other access to your account. I personally question this response because i had account issue with other companies that mange personal date (e.g. my Bank) and the issue was resolved. Apple cannot or will not fix this issue. Without resolution i can not get to content i have purchased but have not downloaded and i can not purchases or upgrade exiting apps.
Any ideas?

Apple's primitive security scheme was very visibly embarrased by a media writer who saw two of his devices more or less wiped clean while he watched helplessly due to a social engineering crack. (not a hack, a crack)
You and a number of others have been caught between Apple's shutting down identity repair system and whatever unspecified fix. How long are you stuck? Well, they have your money already, and you consumers tend to be okay with the abuse, so they aren't in any hurry.

How do you add a device to your itunes account

I am trying to add an old inactive iphone to my itunes account to use for my kids as an itouch type device. Itunes says you can have up to ten devices on one account but when I try to add a device it wants to sync it with my current iphone.

First :
Using an iPhone without a wireless service plan
Then restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod on the computer your kids will use:

How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

I have my old iPhone 3GS that I only use as an iPod but I've forgotten the password and am locked out. My iTunes account is linked to my iPhone4 and I'm lost as to how I can get back into my old iPhone3GS. Can someone PLEASE help me??

Does anyone know how I can get my old one unlocked?

If you have the computer to which the iPhone was last synched, you can restore the iPhone on that computer. That will remove the lock. If not, then you have absolutely no choice but to place the phone into recover mode (search Google for instructoins) and restore the phone as a NEW device.

How do you talk to anyone when you have a charge on your itunes account that I don't understand??

How do I talk to some human that can tell me what a charge is for on my i tunes account.
I find a $9.99 Pandora charge that I can not figure out what it is???????????

You could simply type "Contact itunes support" into the google search bar. This would give you the link to contact itunes support.
Or you could just click the word Support at the top of this page, then click the link under Contact Apple Support.

AD account getting locked out after password change in Jabber

When user changes his network credentials and does not update them in Jabber. Jabber will still try to connect to phone services and voicemail with the old credentials which is leading to their account getting locked in AD after three attempts.
We are using Jabber 9.6.1, so a fairly new version.
Can some suggest if there is a workaround?

Hi,
We are seeing a similar issue after the user has changed their AD password the account repeatedly gets locked out when they try to log into Jabber.
We are also using Cisco IM&P and our CUCM is LDAP synced
I am interested to know why you are asking if LDAP authentication is configured?

How to change your Administration Server password when you're locked out

How to change your Administration Server password when you're locked out
The Netscape server products are all managed by a single administration
server, which gives you a web forms-based interface you can use to
configure them, start/stop them, check their logs, and so forth.

There are three levels of protection that keep the general public from
being able to get into your administration server and mess up the
configuration of any Netscape servers you have installed:

<OL>
<LI> Obscurity: Your administration server can run on any port you'd
like (usually something between 81 and 30,000), so if an attacker
doesn't know what port to find your admin server on, he can't get
into it.
<LI> Host restrictions: You can tell your admin server to only allow
connections from specific hosts, and to reject all other hosts.

<LI> Password protection: Even if a user connects to your admin server
from a valid host, he won't be allowed to get into even the first
page unless he presents a valid username and password.
</OL>

If you, the legitimate administrator of your web server, are unable to
access the administration server (if you forgot your password or the
admin port number or if you accidentally locked your own site out),
then here is how to get past each of these levels of protection:

<OL>
<LI> If you don't remember what port your administration server is
running on, just look in your "ns-admin.conf" file, which is in
the "admserv" directory under your Netscape server directory.
(For 1.x web servers on Windows NT, run "regedt32" and go to the
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netscape\Administration" section).
You will see a "Port" entry there that specifies what port your
admin server is on. You can change this value if you want your
admin server to run on a different port, but make sure you restart
the admin server after you change the value.

<LI> If your admin server is complaining "Unauthorized host" when you
try to connect to it, then you can open it up to all sites by
going into the "ns-admin.conf" file or the "Administration"
section of your NT registry, as described above, and deleting the
lines for "Hosts" and "Addresses" (either one of those might not
be present) then restarting your admin server (on Unix run
"stop-admin" then "start-admin"; on NT go into the Services
control panel and stop/start the "Netscape Administration" or
"Netscape Admin Server" service). You will then be able to get
back into the admin server, where you can then try new settings
for your host and address restrictions if you wish.

<LI> If you have forgotten the password to your admin server and now
you can't log into your admin pages, all is not lost! Go into
your "ns-home" directory, and into the "admserv" directory under
that. You should find an "admpw" text file containing a simgle
line of text, something like this:
admin:lnOVeixulqkmU
The first part of that line is the name of your admin account
(usually just "admin"), and the second part is your admin
password, encrypted. Edit this file to remove the encrypted
password so that your file looks like this:
admin:
Then shut down your admin server, bring it back up again, and log
into your admin server but don't give any password. It should let
you in, at which point you can then go to the appropriate
configuration page to set a new admin password, and then you're
back in business.
</OL>
Note that because it is so easy to change the admin password this
way, it's good to periodically make certain that your admin
password file and your web server's configuration files are not
left world-writable, and that only trusted people have access to
them. (By default they're not world-writable, but it's good to
make sure of this from time to time.)

If you mean that yu forgo the password for yur encrypted backup then you can only:
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.
