How do I figure out the rescue email address for my Apple ID?

I can't remember my answers and I can't remember what my rescue email is how can I figure that out?

-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.
-If you are not in the US, click http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 - Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple throughiTunes Store Support.

After I updated to iOS 7, my iCloud account is showing the incorrect email address for my Apple ID but will not allow me to change it- it's gray and I can't click on it. How do I fix this?

If you change your email, you do not need to "change" your AppleID. Just edit your email(s) on your Apple ID by logging in to your AppleID account. You should always use the same AppleID for Apple Services (iCloud, iTunes etc) and multiple ID will cause problems and confusion in the future.

How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id?

Hi there
How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id? My original email address is associated with my previous employers.
When I send email from my Macbook, it seems as if I still work there, which is a problem.
I would like to use the email address that I created for my iPad.
When I login with my appleid (for my macbook) I keep getting the old company one, not the new one.
Is there any way of resolving this? I
Thanks
Kelvin

HT204053 Can I use an icloud email address as the primary email address for an Apple ID?

Hi There
Can I use an icloud email address as the primary email address for an Apple ID?

Whenever you create a new icloud email it is an Apple ID, but if you previously had an Apple ID you cannot use the new email to replace the old one. You have to abandon the old accout and you will lose all the content you had with that account. But what I did was upload all my itunes to amazon cloud, these were the only purchases I had. I already bought books from kindle and I now rent movies from amazon instant video. Everytime I log in I use my icloud email and password. I just used it to sign in to support communities.
The notification that you posted about changing your Apple ID was present when I created my icloud email and made the change.

My stupid husband put in the wrong email address for his apple id and I can't figure out to change it so that we can all sync?

My husband put the wrong email address as his apple id and now I can not change it?

What exactly do you want to sync? Ideally, each phone should use its own Apple ID to keep contacts, messages, etc. separate. You wouldn't want to share your contacts and have him accidentally delete one off of his phone which would remove from yours as well.
If you want to share apps, you can do that by having him log out of iTunes & App Store and logging in with your ID on that app only.

How do I edit out the previous email addresses from the pop up list of address in Apple Mail?

Whenever someone sends me a new email address, I go to address book and edit the page. The problem is that whenever I go to send an email and start to type the address in, the drop down menu lists possible entries as I type, and it still keeps the old address on that list, sometimes above the new address and if I don't carefully check, it will go out to the wrong address.
It seems to hold onto the old addresses no matter what I do. I have edited, tossed out or changed in the address line of the email, and it still holds onto the old addresses.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

If I start an email to John Doe. I type in his name and if I look at the drop down menu when I click his name, it will offer several options, including "open in address book". Makes sense. He is already there.
But some names, a few to be sure, have "add to address book" even though they are already there.
And if I open the address book and open their page, I will see all the info, just as I should.
But if I click on the "add to address book", the same email address is repeated on their page in the address book. So I could end up with the same email address 5 times on the page.
Someone told me once that if I cannot cure the bug then I should consider it a "feature".

My 4S died and I was given a new one. Now I can't get it to sync with my old info. I think I put the wrong email address for my apple ID, how can I change it?

My 4S died this week and I was told it could not be repaired, so I was issued a new one. During set up I could not remember my password, so set up a new one. I think I used the wrong email address, not sure. At any rate, now my phone and pad don't sync. How can I get this corrected? Thanks!

It looks like your printer isn't on the list of air print enabled printers. It'll still work, you just need to do some tweaking.
You can see if samsung has any apps to enable printing.
or
You can look into a third party app like Print n Share or Print Central.
Then you can print from your iPad.

Why can't I change my rescue email address for my apple ID account?

The email address I would like to use as my current rescue email address used to be my alternative email address. I switched my alternate email address, but it still won't let me set it as my current rescue email address. It is an icloud account. When I did the same thing with my gmail account (took it off the alternate and changed it to the rescue) it worked. Is it just the icloud account that doesn't work? My gmail acccount used to be an alternate address too.

HT204053 How do I set up a rescue email address if I already have an Apple ID?

I have an Apple ID, but I did not set up a rescue email address. Now I need a rescue email address in order to reset my security questions/answers. How can I set up the rescue email address?

You won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions, so you will need to get them reset first - see if the instructions on this user tip helps you get them reset : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
When you can answer the questions you can then add a rescue email address for potential future use - from here :
Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.

HT5312 i want order to make rescue eamil address for my apple id

i want oreder to make rescue email address for my apple id

I'm trying to do the same but this doesn't seem to work. For some reason the email address I want to use as my primary is still associated to the account, although it is not listed as either the primary or an alternate address (it was until just now my rescue email address).
Any ideas how to change a primary email address - e.g similar to most other applications along the lines of a button/link next to said email address that says "make primary" (seriously it can't be that hard!)
