  • I forgot my icloud email password. I use a different email account for my AppleID.  How can i reset my Icloud email password?

    I need to reset my password for my iCloud email. I forgot the password because I made it about a year ago and forgot to write it down. I used my iCloud email which it *****n****[email protected] for many of my social media accounts. I have recently found out that if I want to reset my password for a social media account, that it will not go to my imessage. I have not yet set up *****n****[email protected] on the mail app, which is what I am assuming you have to have if you want social networks to email you on your mobile phone. I can not set up *****n****[email protected] on the mail app though, because I do not know the password. I also have a separate email for my AppleID account, and yes. I have reset the password for my applied account, to see if it would also reset my icloud email address password. Thank you, and I am sorry this was confusing.

    Applied.apple.com manage apple I'd. Input apple I'd. Send email authentication(and email should send to your rescue account) or authentication with security questions.... does not resolve your issue?

  • I can't update any of my apps. I have an old email address that I forgot the password to. I set up a new apple idea (I do know the password to this one), but every time I try to update my apps, it brings me back to my old email.

    I've tried many times to get rid of my old iTunes account. I have made a new Apple ID and I do remember the password. My 2 main problems are, i can't update ANY of my apps (and I have 53 to update now), and I can't get rid of my old old email that I forgot the password to. Every time I try to reset the account and start a new iTunes account, it will ask me for my new email. I've tried multiple times to change it, bbut every time i do, it asks me to put a password when for my old email that I forgot the password to reset the account.

    Once you purchase or download an app it will always be associated with the Apple ID used to download it. When that app requires and update you must use the Apple ID and password used to download it in the first place. The only way around this is to delete the apps the require the old Apple ID and download or purchase them again with the new Apple ID.

  • I have another apple ID but I forgot the password and apple does not send the link to reset it to my email. What do I do to have it back?

    I have another apple ID but I forgot the password and apple does not send the link to reset it to my email. What do I do to have it back? It is really important.

    If you know the answers to your security question for the ID you can use that method to reset the password rather than email (by going to https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid).
    If you don't, you'll have to contact iTunes Store support for assistance: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.  They frequently deal with Apple ID issues.

        hibob99,
    Thank you so much for reaching out to us. I know there are to many passwords out there now days to keep track of them all. Are you looking to reset the Verizon.net e-mail address? If so, you would need to reach out to Verizon Communication by calling 800-837-4966. Please keep us posted.

  • I have forgot my password.  My company changed emails and I can no longer get to the email address that was set up on my iPad.

    Ihave forgot my password to my account. ( I set a new one up to do this). When I go on to retrieve my password, it mails it to an email address I can no longer get to.    I always use the same combination of passwords, so I know it is something simple.  I am trying to get to my iCloud account and retreive my apps for my iPad.

    If you can verify the serial number of an apple product registerd in your name, and can verify your apple id, and possibly some other info (credit card on file is a good one) you can call 1-800-APL-CARE. The tech should be able to verify this info, and if so can transfer you to account security.

  • HT203055 I can't sign in or out of iCloud.  Forgot the password to an email address I no longer have access to.  What next.

    I can't sign in or out of iCloud.  Forgot the password to an email address I no longer have access to.  What next?  From what I'm reading in the forums, once the email address is set up it cannot be changed.  True?  If so, um, stupid.
    Message to log in to iCloud every time I reply or forward an email.  Have to indicate to ignore every time.  Annoying.

    Hello florabb,
    You may be able to change or reset the password on this old iCloud/Apple ID account, even if you no longer have access to the email address associated with it. Once the password is changed/updated, you should be able to log your iPhone out of the old iCloud/Apple ID account and log in to the correct new account. You may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Sign in with a different Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Sincerely,
    - Brenden
