How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

    Are you watching this content though iCloud or though from iTunes on your local computer?  If it is from iCloud have you tried downloading the content to iTunes and watching it on ATV from that source to see if it still happens?  This is geerally a much more reliable way to view the content.  Easer to fast forward and rewind too.
    - I have a stable internet connection
    Clearlly you don't
    >(Ive tested on other devices)
    Which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
    >I am able to stream Netflix problem free from my AppleTV without so much as a hicup
    Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
    >- I am able to download the episodes to my phone, ipad, and computer without any issues
    Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.  It does remove your ISP throattly traffice as a possible cause though.  So that is good.
    Have you checked your wireless rounter?  Tried doing the factory restor on it?  Upgrading it's firmware?  Is it and or ATV getting extreamly hot when this problme happens?

  • I am having some issues with email. My iphone shows 4 emails as unread yet when I look thru all my emails, both on my iPhone5 and my outlook there are no unread emails. How do I clear this up on my phone?

    I am having some issues with email. My iphone shows 4 emails as unread yet when I look thru all my emails, both on my iPhone5 and my outlook there are no unread emails. How do I clear this up on my phone?

    Email does not and has never synced between the iPhone and the computer. It sounds like you may have had your PC set up to use POP3 for e-mail, which will download e-mail from the server and delete it, causing it to vanish from your phone if the phone was set up for IMAP. IMAP provides full synchronization between the server and clients. What you delete on one will vanish from the others. This is the preferred method of managing e-mail as it prevents e-mail from being downloaded, for example, on a PC and making it inaccessible on your phone.

  • I have a time capsule that has worked flawlessly for several years.  I recently upgraded my iMac OS to 10.8.4 and coincidently (or not) have started having some issues with backups.  When I go into time machine, it struggles to find the time capsule disk

    I have to unplug my time capsule and reboot it.  Is there a diagnostic routine I can run or any error detection I can look for?

    You are absolutely right.. when apple changed significant features in Lion and Mountain Lion .. they introduced a bunch of issues into networking which are bugs to this day..unacknowledged.. and without much that will fix them.. other than your reboot strategy.. which is like.. well that other OS.. where continual reboots are considered normal.
    Old TC may also just suffer from age.. we continually tell people they have a lifespan.. 3years is the reliable span.. after that expect anything.. sudden death.. slow decline.. continual hassles and problems. If the backups are important to you.. then it is telling you in a very clear way.. replace me.. I am no longer happily providing services promised.
    Now to specifics.. we don't know what the problem is.. if we knew we could give some work around.
    The problem is odd in that it doesn't affect everyone.. if it starts .. people find it starts several months in to ownership.. it is never cured.. or even curable.. something like DNS or ARP table is being lost.. but it is not either of those things.
    Is there a diagnostic routine I can run or any error detection I can look for?
    Nothing much shows up anywhere. Including the TC log or local logs. It simply has lost the TC disk but not internet.
    So.
    Some things do help.
    I don't know if you have pondini's resources.. TM is a complex piece of software.. it has multiple issues.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Look at A1 .. load the widget.
    A5 .. verify the backup.
    A4 .. reset TM.
    All of those things can help.. look at some of the typical problems.. C12 and C17 being the most common since Lion.. and exacerbated in Mountain Lion.. not fixed.
    Some suggestions.
    1. Keep names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. See C9 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    2. Do not use 7.6.3 firmware... go back to 7.6.1 or even better 7.5.2 on an old one.
    Firmware downgrade is easy in new utility. Hold down the option key whilst selecting version.
    3. I recommend a very short dhcp lease time.. 20min for example. In whatever device is the router .. that can help keep things up to date.. and use dhcp reservation again to see if the address info helps to keep things updated.
    4. Do turn on ipv6 local link.. which you need to anyway with 6.3 utility.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
    5. If you are using a desktop.. an external drive is faster.. more reliable and easier than TC for Time Machine backups..
    6. Consider using CCC or another backup software.. if you want to continue to use network drive.
    7. Although using 6.3 airport utility has some advantages.. it is also devoid of a lot of tools that are in v5.6 airport utility.. well worth loading into at least one computer on the network.. if you only have Mountain Lion now here is one method.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
    Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.

  • I have been having some issues with my iPod touch.  I can't transfer songs that I have purchased on my iPod into my iTunes library.  Please help!

    I have been having a lot of issues with my iPod touch.  Whatever I purchase on my iPod I can't seem to transfer it to my iTunes library.  If something should happen to my iPod, I wouldn't want to lose all of the music I have purchased.  I can't upgrade it either because a box pops up that says everything will be erased from my iPod... I need help!

    Might be an authorization issue in iTunes. Try deauthorizing your computer through the Store menu at the top of iTunes and then authorizing it again. Once that is done try transferring purchases from the iPod Touch.

  • Having an issue with a page in the internet

    Hello,
    I registered to the forum a few days ago but did not introduce myself. Please accept my apology.
    I have a Blackberry style 9670 model, of which I am very happy with.
    I was having an issue with a page in the internet, in which I was receiving errors on my device. My daughter has a Blackberry Curve and she was able to access the page without any errors. I can not figure out why I do.
    Thanks

    I am not sure if this is the same issue but there was a bug that caused small exchange numbers to become negative which was resolved in one of the 11.1.1.3 patches, it is worth logging into My Oracle Support and having a look at the patches available.
    9588147 – In exchange rates table, entering very small values become negative after you save the data forms. For example, 0.000071 becomes –7.1E-5 after you save the exchange rate.

    Do you mean that the iPad is on the activation screen ? If it is then does it not show the first letter of your email address and the provider e.g. similar to :
    If that is what you are seeing then you don't remember any email account that you had starting with that letter with that provider ? If not then do you know if you have any of the account's downloads in your computer's iTunes library : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name ?
    Or see if you can find it via http://appleid.apple.com : Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID
    If you cant remember or find your id then you won't be able to use your iPad
