How to change your email and password

Hi, I have just changed my email address and password, I thought I was successful in changing my details but haven't,can anyone help please

Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses - Apple Support explains the difference between Alternate and Rescue Addresses and the "necessity" for a Rescue Address.
I fall into the category of not needing one (only two security questions in the challenge), so my "Forgot your answers?" link to send the email sends to my ALTERNATE address.
I do not know the criteria for 2 or 3 security questions.

Can't figure out how to change my email and password for the message board...

I did password recovery earlier and ended up with some short (insecure) temporary password. I've wasted WAY too much time looking for a place to update my username and password, but I just can't find it.
Solved!

While there is no way to change your username, you can go here to edit your email and password.

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that account. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that same account. Now I can't seem to login to that account and I can't choose the option for forgot password because it will send email to the old workplace. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

I suddenly recieved 6 'How to change your Apple ID password' emails, even though I haven't been on the Apple site in months....should I be concerned that someone is trying to use my account?

I suddenly recieved 6 'How to change your Apple ID password' emails, even though I haven't been on the Apple site in months....should I be concerned that someone is trying to use my account?

I wouldn't be too concerned. The most likely cause is that someone is attempting to login and made a mistake in entering their Apple ID and typing yours instead. So, they are getting an error and offer to reset their password. But the email that generates is being sent to the real owner of the Apple ID they are entering, you. If you are really concerned, you can go to the Apple support site and reset your password yourself to be on the safe side.

How to change your Administration Server password when you're locked out

How to change your Administration Server password when you're locked out
The Netscape server products are all managed by a single administration
server, which gives you a web forms-based interface you can use to
configure them, start/stop them, check their logs, and so forth.

There are three levels of protection that keep the general public from
being able to get into your administration server and mess up the
configuration of any Netscape servers you have installed:

<OL>
<LI> Obscurity: Your administration server can run on any port you'd
like (usually something between 81 and 30,000), so if an attacker
doesn't know what port to find your admin server on, he can't get
into it.
<LI> Host restrictions: You can tell your admin server to only allow
connections from specific hosts, and to reject all other hosts.

<LI> Password protection: Even if a user connects to your admin server
from a valid host, he won't be allowed to get into even the first
page unless he presents a valid username and password.
</OL>

If you, the legitimate administrator of your web server, are unable to
access the administration server (if you forgot your password or the
admin port number or if you accidentally locked your own site out),
then here is how to get past each of these levels of protection:

<OL>
<LI> If you don't remember what port your administration server is
running on, just look in your "ns-admin.conf" file, which is in
the "admserv" directory under your Netscape server directory.
(For 1.x web servers on Windows NT, run "regedt32" and go to the
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netscape\Administration" section).
You will see a "Port" entry there that specifies what port your
admin server is on. You can change this value if you want your
admin server to run on a different port, but make sure you restart
the admin server after you change the value.

<LI> If your admin server is complaining "Unauthorized host" when you
try to connect to it, then you can open it up to all sites by
going into the "ns-admin.conf" file or the "Administration"
section of your NT registry, as described above, and deleting the
lines for "Hosts" and "Addresses" (either one of those might not
be present) then restarting your admin server (on Unix run
"stop-admin" then "start-admin"; on NT go into the Services
control panel and stop/start the "Netscape Administration" or
"Netscape Admin Server" service). You will then be able to get
back into the admin server, where you can then try new settings
for your host and address restrictions if you wish.

<LI> If you have forgotten the password to your admin server and now
you can't log into your admin pages, all is not lost! Go into
your "ns-home" directory, and into the "admserv" directory under
that. You should find an "admpw" text file containing a simgle
line of text, something like this:
admin:lnOVeixulqkmU
The first part of that line is the name of your admin account
(usually just "admin"), and the second part is your admin
password, encrypted. Edit this file to remove the encrypted
password so that your file looks like this:
admin:
Then shut down your admin server, bring it back up again, and log
into your admin server but don't give any password. It should let
you in, at which point you can then go to the appropriate
configuration page to set a new admin password, and then you're
back in business.
</OL>
Note that because it is so easy to change the admin password this
way, it's good to periodically make certain that your admin
password file and your web server's configuration files are not
left world-writable, and that only trusted people have access to
them. (By default they're not world-writable, but it's good to
make sure of this from time to time.)

If you mean that yu forgo the password for yur encrypted backup then you can only:
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

How to display your email and a message to finder on the lock screen of an iPhone?

Hi,
I loose things, including phones and keys...
To prevent a worst case scenario: How to display your email and a message to finder on the lock screen of an iPhone? (6 plus, current iOS)
That is, I assume most people finding an iPhone would want to try to contact me to give it back to me, if they know how: how can leave my contact information in the phone? This needs to be on the lock screen, naturally, as this is the only view the finder can see. It would be useful to be able to add a message of sorts a la "if found please call my wife ### or email me ###".
How can this be done other than editing the JPG of the wallpaper, or sticking a business card to the back of the phone (these are the only solutions I came up with, there must be something better).
Cheers!

Greetings _daniel_,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It seems like you'd like to display a message on your iPhone 6 Plus in the event it is lost. Good news--you can do this with the Find my iPhone feature of iCloud.
Check out these links for more information:
iCloud: Set up iCloud
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
If you can’t find your device, use Lost Mode right away to lock it with a passcode, display a custom message on the screen, and keep track of its location.
Cheers,
Jeremy

How to change your email on iCloud

How do u change your email address on iCloud?

My understanding is that to change your Primary Email so that it links with your Apple ID (assuming this is what you intend to do), you have to establish it in here first

https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
But sarcaster330 is right. Apple is currently preventing Apple ID text strings with the @me.com domain. Only accepting 3rd party domain accounts as Apple IDs. It is a policy that frankly defies logic/common sense and that I hope Apple will soon overcome. In other words, many of us are demanding that our Apple ID = our Primary Email which for many of us is now an @me.com account.

How to change your email

How do u change your email on i cloud

You can't change the main email address belonging to your iCloud account. You would have to create an entirely new iCloud account from scratch.
However a better alternative is to create an 'email alias'. You can have up to three of these - they are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the sam inbox as your main address. Please see:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
Note that new aliases will be @icloud.com. not @me.com.

The email address for iCloud for me is no longer in use. I need to change my email and password on my iPad.

On my iPad it will not let me change my email address. The old one is no longer in use and I cannot get emails on it any longer. How do I change iCloud email address on the iPad?

To change the iCloud ID ("email address") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Need to delete icloud account, but I changed my email and password

I changed my iCloud login information to my new email address, and now I can't change my iCloud account on my iPhone because it's still using the old email address. When prompted for the password it fails because the ID/email address is no longer tied to my account and is no longer even a valid email address.
How can I change my iCloud account without these credentials?

If the old iCloud ID ("email address") is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

MFP 1217nfw How to Change Network Name and Password When You Buy a New Routers

I have an MFP 1217nfw. It was working fine wirelessly. Then my router stopped working properly. I bought a new router and easily set up my computers, iPad and iPhones to work with it. But I don't know how to change the printer set up so that it will see and connect to the new router (i.e., change the network name and password that the printer uses to connect). Anyone know how to do this without having to uninstall and reinstall the printer as if it were fresh out of the box? Thanks for your help.
