Email address too long

my email address would apear to be too long. It keeps cutting short when I try t set up mailboxes. Any ideas?

Well, then there is nothing you can do I suppose. If there is a character limit there's nothing you can do about it, other than email Nokia and suggest it increases for a future update I guess.

Email address too long (33 or more characters)

One of our clients has an email address that's 33 characters and doesn't fit in the spot to input his email address on the Blackberry device. Can he still sync this email account on the Blackberry device?

No problems - the reference is to my sister in law whose email address is school based and its ridiculously long.
18 characters isn't that long certainly - my old one was much longer. It was 29 characters long.
Are you sure its not just the view scrolling rather than deleting anything ? I think you will find its just scrolling.

Email address too long -- I can't read it!

Hi all.
In the Address Book, when a contact has a very long email address, such as
[email protected]
, actually the iPhone shows a shortened version:
maryelizabethmastrantonio@w...
Now: how can I read it without clicking on EDIT?
If I click on it, the phone starts composing a new mail message; I don't want this, I just want to read the email address.
Any hint?
Thanks in advance.

pull the iphone with your fingers so it streches out to fit your LONG email???

How do I delete an ICloud acct on IPhone when the old email address no longer exists?

I changed my Apple ID password due to a phishing email and it started a downward spiral of issues. My original ICloud email address no longer exists. I have tried to sign out/in in itunes that worked but I cannot delete the ICloud account because the field is not editable for apple ID. I tried setting it back to the old email address to turn off Find my IPhone but it will nopt allow because the email address cannot be verified because it no longer exists.

To Delete an iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. You should then be able to delete the old account. When done, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.

Delete the iCloud account associated with an old email address no longer in use...Help!

I am trying to delete the iCloud account on my iPhone that is associated with an old email address no longer in use, so I can set it up with my new email address. I am unable to delete the account until I turn off "Find my iPHone" which it won't let me do unless I log in under the old email address..... Problem is, I don't remember the password for the old address/account. It is no longer functional so I cannot request a reminder. I've already updated my iTunes/Apple ID with my new email address. I'm stuck!! Help!

You remember the answers to the security questions or you call Apple, talk to someone in account security, and prove to them that you own the account.

I changed my email address and now cannot play items purchased with previous email. This only became a problem after I got a new computer. The original email address no longer even exists. How can I access these hundreds of items?

I changed my email address a few years ago. I did not have any problems after this change until I got a new computer. Now I cannot play items that were purchased under the previous email. I entered the password that I used and it doesn't recognize it. I tried "forgot your password" in every combination possible. I never received any emails at the old email address. Now the old email address no longer even exists. How can I access these hundreds of items?

The old email address may well still be valid as your iTunes AppleID, however if you have no other email associated with that ID you clearly won't get any automated emails to it.
I still use an old defunct email for my iTunes AppleID.
Contact support here:

You may want to try to manage the old ID here:

Use the original email address and password.

HT5312 how do you reset your security questions when the rescue email address no longer exists?

how do you reset your security questions when the rescue email address no longer exists?

Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions.

My rescue email address no longer exists and I can't remember my security questions. HELP

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

How do I delete an old Apple ID stuck to iCloud when the email address no longer works and neither do the passwords or security questions?

I know I shouldn't have, but I put in my new Apple ID before deleting the old one which was an email address that had shut down. Now the password, rescue address, security questions all don't work and I cannot access the old email address because it no longer works. I cannot delete the old ID from iCloud because I have to put in a password to shutdown find my iphone first. I am going around in circles. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

How can I authorise my computer when the email address no longer exists

Yesterday, due to software problems I had to have my computer wiped. I reinstalled iTunes and loaded all my music, films etc back on (these are kept on a hard drive) with no problems. I now have about 120 songs/videos that will not play as they were purchased with an email address that no longer exists. iTunes keeps asking me to authorise my computer but I do not know the password. Is there any way I can get these purchases back? Not techy at all, please help, I've been at this all day!!!

You will need to call Apple at 800-275-2273 and ask for the Account security department. They will have you sign into the My Apple ID site at id.apple.com using the Manage Apple ID button and generate a temporary support pin. It can be found in the lower left corner of the Password and Security section once you log in.
Once you give them the support pin, they will ask for one other piece of information from the account in order to verify that you own it. This can either be one of the current security questions, the credit card linked to the account, a device serial number, or a device verification code that they can send you.
Good luck!

How can I retrieve an Apple ID password when the Apple ID (email address) no longer exists?

How can I retrieve an ex employees Apple ID password when she can't even remember it? Plus Apple ID used to her company email address, which no longer exists for her. Apple support says it will send an email to her so I can change the password, but I'll never get it, since her email no longer works, she is not with us no more. Help please! I need to pass this iPhone to another, new employee.

You cannot retrieve her password. Note the Apple ID, in Apple's eyes, belongs to _her_. It is not the property of the company. If she wishes to reset the password, she can go to the Apple ID site: https://appleid.apple.com/ and try and change it. If she doesn't know the password and has no access to the email address it may prove challenging if she provided no backup email address.
But I'm not sure this is the root of the problem. If the iPhone is locked using "activation lock" and it's running iOS 7 then yes, it will need to be unlocked. If your company has proof of purchase of the iPhone, you may wish to try contacting AppleCare. Otherwise, she can release it by going to her iCloud page and disabling it.

My email address no longer exists, how do I log in?

I'm just trying to transfer the serial number of my from an old laptop to a new one, and I tried logging into my Adobe account online to find out the serial number I need.
However when I tried to log in it said that I needed to reset my password, but the email address used for my Adobe ID does no longer exist (the account is completely gone), so I can't look at the confirmation email or reset the password or anything!
Is there any way to change the email address on the account, without using the old email address, so I can successfully log in?
Thanks.
