HT1349 ive been trying to get "find my iphone" running. first of all it kept telling me i needed to verify my email. the email acc i once used for my apple id is non existint now. ive been on apple id pages and ive managed to change to my new email addres

Ive just changed my my email address for appleid because i was using an old email address thats not in use now.
Ive been trying to set up 'find my iphone' app. When i tried login my apple id in i cloud it tells me that my email needs verification.
Ive been on apple site and its telling me that email verifications have been sent to my new address  and follow d prompts to activate
this . I havent recieved any verification emails what so ever. Ive tried again and again and it keeps saying it will resend this email but i havent recieved it.
Ive checked my eamail address and thats correct . so basically i can log into find my iphone app with my apple id, but i cant on i cloud because my
emails not verified.it keeps telling me to verify but its not sending me any emails to verify. some one help please

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • Why can't I get find my iphone on my ipod 4th gen?

    Hi there. I am trying to get find my iPhone for my iPod. It has iOS 5.1.1 and I signed it up to iCloud, but when I try to get find my iPhone, it says requires iOS 7 which is incompatible with this iPod. I need help. I don't know what to do. I have got the iWork and iLife apps perfectly because when I installed them they said 'do you want to install an older version of the app?' I said yes and they installed instantly.

    No app is required.                                               
    - 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.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • I have been trying to get my ibook g4 fixed from apple for 6 years now. my ram doesnt work and the logic board is f'd up aswell... i know 12 people that have had the same issue. 4 of them got there ibooks replaced. anyone know what to do?

    i have been trying to get my ibook g4 fixed from apple for 6 years now. my ram doesnt work and the logic board is f'd up aswell... i know 12 people that have had the same issue. 4 of them got there ibooks replaced. anyone know what to do? all 4 ibooks were replaced outside warranty, why wont apple help me...

    Apple supports most of their computer products for a 7 year period, could be that your IBook is well past any kind of help.Secondly parts are no longer being made for this machine and never will be again. Finally I find it hard to believe that nothing has been done with this for 6 years.Have you documented the reasons why you were turned down for repairs ? were the replaced Ibooks within a couple of months of warranty expiration? What model is your IBook ? At least if we knew what the model #, some of the more techy types could find out if there were any repair programs for your model.
    Seems odd that you'd hang on to a non-working IBook for that long.

  • HT2589 Someone is using itunes with my credit card without permission and I want my card number removed.  Ive been trying to get this fixed for months. Im at the end of my paitience.

    Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. The only people who will reply to your posts are we your fellow users.
    Since you don't say what resources and methods you've been attempting to get this matter resolved, it's difficult to offer suggestions. But if your credit card has been used without your permission, your primary recourse should be to your credit card company to report the unauthorized charges and have them issue you a new credit card. If your card has been compromised such as to make unauthorized charges on the iTunes Store, it's highly probably that it can be used elsewhere.
    As to removing the card number from your iTunes Store account,  see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
    You should be able to change or remove the card information there. If not, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store, if you have not done so already. If you have, please post back with a summary of what they told you and perhaps someone can offer additional suggestions as to how to proceed.
    Regards.

  • I have been trying to get a feature/functionality in my Apple system -- have asked about it in Apple stores all over the country from coast to coast, and have received no response. How can I speak with someone at Apple that will help?

    Greetings whomever reads this.
    I have 2 issues that Apple has not been able to resolve, that are vexing me.
    1) Somehow I have 2-3 apple IDs ... passwords etc. I have purchased 2 iPads, 2 -3 iPhones, a Macbook Pro, and a Mac Mini with Thunderbolt monitor. Somewhere in that process I might have created another Apple ID, not sure. When the confusion started, I went to an Apple store, and they suggested I create a new Apple ID, against my better judgement I did, which added to the confusion. Now, every time I need to sign in using my Apple ID for anything, I have no idea what user ID goes with what password. I have gone to Apple stores several time to try to get this situation cleared up and each time they try to get me to create yet another Apple ID. Now I won't do that anymore, but the original confusion remains. How can I wipe out all Apple IDs and just have one?
    2) I have been trying to get a particular functionality/feature/capability added to my Mac system. Don't want to go into detail here because someone will steal my idea and make millions. I have posed this question to Mac personnel from Geniuses, to Business Teams -- no one can figure it out. How do I get this fabulous capability I have thought up to come to life so I can make millions?

    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

    Dear Apple team,
    I recently bought an iphone3GS from USA and jail broke it. Since I heard the there are lots of disadvantages I thought to unlock it officially through the original owner (in copy). He assisted me and confirmed that he unlocked it with AT& T (See the attachment). According to the instructions I restored the phone. But it is not activating with “Activation server is currently not available, please try again or try with iTunes”
    When I try with iTunes , it says “you haven’t inserted a SIM” even though I insert the original AT&T SIM.
    My current location is Sri Lanka ,so don’t have any apple support.
    Please help me to be a good fan of apple.
