How do approve from another device when I changed my number

I recently got an iPad air 2. I would like to approve my new device to use my Apple ID. We authorization process requires receiving a text message from my old cell phone number that I no longer have access to. How do I have proof the device sent my phone number has changed?
thank you for your time helping me

My guess is that you have set up two-step verification for your Apple ID:
iCloud: two-step verification
So I suspect your old iPhone number was one of the devices set up to receive an authorization request.
Note that you could also use your recovery key (instead of your iPhone) if this is the case.

    At what point are you getting this message. Is it when launching the Find my phone app or when trying to send a command to the phone.

  • How do I approve my other devices when prompted?

    On setting up my new iPod and iPhone I was prompted to either use security code or to approve from another device. I chose to select approve from another device, but there is absolutely no indication of how to do this and Apple's help manual doesn't help either? So how do I approve another device?

    Try resetting the keychain. See:

  • I Cloud approval from other device or verification code?

    I just upgraded to IOS8 on iPad 3 and iPhone 6.  For the I cloud set-up it is asking for an approval from another device or entering a verification code. 
    1.  How to approve from other device?  I have an iMac as well.  OR
    2.  If you enter code the message is a verification code will be sent to a phone number (which is my house phone....does not receive texts).
    What to do?

    Hi Brad0266,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post it appears that you have enabled two-step verifcation for your Apple ID, which is why it is prompting you to enter in a verification code from a device that you set up.  Take a look at the support article linked to below to learn more about two-step verification.

  • HT2589 I already have 2 devices on one apple ID account and want to add apple TV.  How do I add another device on an existing apple ID account so that I can download movies from the cloud to any of 3 devices?

    how do I add another device on to my apple ID account so that I can download movies etc.. from my icloud to any of the 3 devices on the account?   I already have my iphone and ipad on the account and for some reason my 3rd device (apple TV) dropped off.   If you can help, greatly appreciated!!

    Hello there, HannaGriffin.
    Since the Apple TV (1st Generation) is the only one that has storage, I would recommend the following Knowledge Base articles for troubleshooting issues with authorization:
    Apple TV (1st generation) may not play content purchased from the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1359
    or
    Apple TV (1st generation): Apple TV repeatedly asks for password to play iTunes Store rentals or purchases

    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • My Gf has my iphone. How can I see recent messages and calls from another device?

    My Gf has my iphone. How can I see recent messages and calls from another device?

    Depending on your carrier, you may be able to see recent calls by logging into your account on the carrier's web site, if they offer such a feature, though incoming calls being shown is not usual. There will, as diesel said, be no way to see messages already received, either SMS/MMS or iMessages, without having the phone.
    Regards.

  • I lost my ipod and i dont have my location services on how can i turn them on from another device?

    I lost  my ipod with my location services off therefore i dont think find my iphone can pick it up is there a way to turn them on from another device? If not what are my options of finding it?

    No.
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • HT201272 I'm having trouble downloading a previously purchase song to my iCloud so I can access it from another device.  The iCloud download button is not there.  Help?

    I'm having trouble downloading a previously purchase song to my iCloud so I can access it from another device.  The iCloud download button is not there.  Help?

    I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
    And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
    And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

  • How to boot from other device??

    hey...
    i recall that i have read that it is posible to boot an ibook from another device sutch as anoter mac or even from a ipod... can annyone explain how that works?? or know of an artitcle where i can read more about this??

    If you want to boot from an external drive, it must have a boot volume with a version of the Mac OS installed on it which is compatible with the firmware of the computer you are wanting to boot. If the external drive has such a boot volume, you can connect it and use Startup Manager to select its boot volume as your startup disk.
    If you have another Mac with FireWire, you can use FireWire Target Disk Mode to access the iBook's hard drive as an external drive on the other computer (or vice versa).

  • Please All. Am so scared to say I someone stole my Ipad and till now I haven't set my eyes on that ipad. I know quite sure that as I updated to iOS 7.0.2, I turned on my find my ipad feature. Now I can't even sign in to iCloud from another device.

    Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
    Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

  • HT201679 I have just received an email saying i have downloaded an app from another device. This wasn't me, i have changed my password. What do i do now?

    I have just received an email saying i have downloaded an app from another device.
    This wasn't me, i have changed my password.
    What do i do now?

    Hi stirling r,
    I have always been very weary of fake emails and can easily spot the ones that get through the spam filters but for the first time in my 25 plus years memory of using email, I though a fake email was genuine.
    Ok, granted the email was supposedly from Apple so there's an implied level of trust there and I had updated my Apple ID details hours before, but it was only after doing a double take at the url link in the email I realised it was fake. It was pointing to an IP address (http://104.145.233.95/..etc) and not the usual https://www.apple.com/..etc.
    I just wandered how may Apple users, especially new ones would have unwittingly compromised their Apple ID details by this scam.  I would love to see Apple doing more to make its users aware of scams directed at them.
    Hope this helps someone!

  • Find my iPod was turned off is there anyway to turn it on from another device ???

    Hi i'm new here, i wanna ask about supercell game Clash of Clans, i think someone hacked my village.
    Yesterday i used my dad's phone which is Android to play coc, since then someone from another device keep playing and even taking gems, i've tried to log out and even change my gmail account, but it's not working, what should i do?

    That is priceless!!!  Thanks!  I sure needed a good laugh after spending/wasting hours & days trying to either get my c6280 to give up on its Ink System Failure fixation, or find a decent replacement.  Unfortunately I need the Smart Web Printing feature that I guess only HP has, or I'd try a different brand. And now even HP has very few models with that available.
     My error msg is a little different from those previously stated, but close:  0xc18a0201.  Even tho there were frustrations with my c6280, I did like several of its unique features which are hard to find now under $100.  I hate how HP (& I suppose other brands also) are CONSTANTLY changing models & then of course ink cartridges.
    Oh heavens, I've had the c6280 a whopping 2 1/2 years!   I'm sure they want us poor slobs to have to buy a new one every year & a day!  To say nothing of the exorbitant prices for ink.  And now if this one is really dead in the water, I have SIX unused #02 ink cartridges which I cannot return---I got them in a combo pack, & for some reason have wound up with THREE lite pink & THREE lite blue cartridges, while having to buy extras of the other colors, that ran out before the others!!!   Yeah, & what's with that not being able to print in BLACK if a color runs out????
    Anyway I really loved your essay!   It's a classic!  And says it all!  I hate that we have to be 'slaves' to the electronic 'wonders'!!!
