how can I retrieve or reset an old forgotten password for a old discontinued email address.
I have lots of bought music that my new laptop can't play because it's not authorized

If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (do you remember the answers to your security questions or have a rescue email address on the account ?) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the password reset (they can also reset security questions).
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with
: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
Then update the primary email address to be an email account that you have access to : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621

  • HT5312 How can I retrieve or reset the forgotten security questions?

    I have forgotten my security questions answers.
    How can I retrieve them or create a new one?
    Thank you for your support.

    Read the HT5312 page that you posted from, it has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset (these are user-to-user forums).

    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 the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • I had to change my password for one of my Email addresses and now I can not get mail into Firefox.

    I had to change my password for one of my Email accounts ([email protected]) and now I can not get the mail to go into Mozilla Firefox and I don't know how to change the password in Mozilla to get the mail into it.
    I looked at how to change my password but the options you told me to use were not available. I clicked on tools then options but there was no sync tab or manage accounts either.

    The login.salesforce.com website is using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

  • How can I verify my phone number to use FaceTime and iMessage instead of email address!?

    My iMessage and FaceTime are both working, but it still says "Waiting for activation.." right under both the FaceTime and iMessage settings. Under the "Receive At" setting, my email address is entered in. When I press on my email address, it takes me to a page shows my Apple ID, my email address, and in gray it says "Vertifying" with my phone number also in gray. I am currently out of the country and am using wifi for my apps, iMessage, FaceTime, and checking email. Why does it still say waiting for activation even though I can use everything fine?

    I want that to be my last option if I need to. I don't want to delete everything and update everything back over. Are the finished with updating the severs? Last night I was unable to sign in using my Apple ID to use FaceTime or iMessage, but now I am logged in, but I can't verify my number. My iMessages are going through with my email instead of my number

  • TS1398 How can I retrieve my home wi-fi network password ?

    I cannot sign in to my home wifi network without my password which i have forgotten... any way I can retrieve it?

    Reset the router then use the router's default password. Don't forget to then log into the router with the default password and change the password to other than the default password.
    Look in your router's manual for the procedure to do this.

  • How can I reset/override a forgotten password for Time Machine back up hard drive?

    I have a g-drive slim but can't remember the password because I haven't used it in a long time. Checked g-drive website and it wasn't very helpful:
    http://support.g-technology.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=132146&sid=88d7393f2 f66e67581b8143e9b30f8ef
    Also checked Apple Support for Time Machine and nothing on how to reset/override.

    Hi Vitamin A,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are talking about an issue with an encrypted backup, there may not be a way to override the password:
    You need your backup password to restore files from Time Machine backups. If you forget your backup password, Time Machine can’t use the backups.

    If you are less concerned about the backup or other information and would like to continue using the disk, you may need to delete the existing volume or partition:

  • Signed up for free software download of Lion, I got the code to redeem it on the App Store but lost the code, how can I retrieve it to get the software update for free?

    I bought my new Macbook on July 23, so that qualified me for the free Lion software update. I entered in all my info and then accidently clicked out of the screen before I wrote down the code to redeem it.  I tried to do it again but of course it said my system had already been issued a redeem code.  Is there a way I can get it back so I can get the update for free?

  • 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.

    I guess you could try but I don't believe Apple can help with activation lock issues.  They may, however, be able to determine if the Apple ID belongs to one of you and reset the password for you if you can prove your identity.
    You might want to try calling Apple by going to https://expresslane.apple.com; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'.  In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.  Perhaps they can help determine if it's your ID and reset the password for you (and they probably have more expertise in doing this than the Apple store).
