HT1918 Change of id email......what a mess?

I have tried to change my id email. In doing so I ended up making a new account and can't get into my old one.
When I sign in to the old one my security questions are wrong - even my date of birth, and no comfirmation email will send.
I need the old account with all my purchases on.
HELP ME PLEASE!

When you say that you don't get a confirmation email is that because you don't have a rescue email address, or you do have one and the email doesn't arrive when you click on send (in which case have you checked your spam as well as your Inbox) ?
If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

    You will need to contact Apple support. You can use the link in the quote below from If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions - Apple Support
    If you couldn't send a reset email, don't have a rescue email address, or can't access email at your rescue email address, contact Apple Support.

    Have you forgotten your password? - if so, you have a problem if the email address has gone dead.
    If you know your password, go to the iTunes Store, click on Account. log in and you can change the associated email address.
    If you don't know your password, and have no email address, you are going to have problems because it's difficult to see how Apple are going to identify you as the authorised owner of the account. Contact iTunes Support: go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them.

  • What do I have to do in creating a Keynote presentation on my MAC so that when I send it to my iPad, I don't have to re-do the presentation all over again as the fonts have changed, sizing has changed and everything is basically a mess?

    What do I have to do in creating a Keynote presentation on my MAC so that when I send it to my iPad, I don't have to re-do the presentation all over again as the fonts have changed, sizing has changed and everything is basically a mess?
    I have downloaded many of my previous Keynote presentation into my new ipad mini and not ONE has opened properly
    Rather defeats the purpose of icloud, synching, Keynote on IOS etc doesn't it?
    Any tips anyone?
    Cheers
    Philip

    Thanks for this Gary. Much appreciated. Will help with future ones.
    Still a bit like using keynote in 'safe mode' and very limiting.
    If anyone produces an 'auto convert' app that will save me the work of fixing existing presentations slide by slide, I'm buying it :-)
    Thanks again

  • Listing order and dates of my photos have all changed and now it is a mess in my photo library! I tried to list them again by date, but it didn't fix the problem. What to do?

    Listing order and dates of my photos have all changed and now it is a mess in my photo library! I tried to list them again by date, but it didn't fix the problem. What to do?

    If your preferences keep getting messed up try this:   make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • Pc to mac change and what a mess

    I've had my iPod for quite some time and have purchased thousands of dollars of music from itunes. I bought an iMac on Friday and when I went thru the set up it gave me a .mac address and said it would change my itunes to that. That made me nervous but I tried to go back and was not able too.
    Now I just signed into iTunes and when I sign in with the new .mac name it shows I have NO PURCHASED music, tv shows or movies.
    When I go back and use my old sign in name that I used with my PC that shows NOTHING either, no music, tv shows, movies, podcasts.
    Again I had thousands of dollars worth of music. Can I get it back some how? I still have it on my iPod but I can't plug it into iTunes now because it will erase it all!!
    Help!
    Susan

    i'm the person who wrote the above post. We have more problems.....
    My daughter has her own iPod and she went to iTunes on her PC and her iTunes account is totally blank too. Not a single song in it. Now our accounts are not related in any way accept for the credit card number! (and there is nothing wrong with that either, all this music was purchased over the course of a few years at least. I have no idea why this happened however her account was last used 3 2 days ago and it was fine but that was prior to me buying and registering this new iMac.
    What a mess, I got my old iPod which has some music on it and plugged it into my Mac to see if I could transfer the music on it to my blank iTunes some how but I can't do that either as it says it was formatted by a PC and I can't update it on a Mac.
    So many problems, but really I just want my music back.

  • I would like to change my apple ID to what is apparently my "recovery" email address but I don't see any option to change my recovery email (gmail). Whats up with that?

    Why do I not see an option to change my recovery email? I would like to use what appearently is my current "recovery" email as my new Apple ID but ID manager will not let me.

    If you mean your rescue email address, from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312:
    You can edit or delete your rescue email address at My Apple ID. To edit your rescue email address:
    Navigate to My Apple ID 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.
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so. 
    After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.

  • While I'm in my apple ID, under passwords, I can't remember my security question's answers. It sends the answers to my rescue email I no longer have. What can I do to change my rescue email.

    I need help changing my password info on my Apple ID. I can't remember my security questions. They send the answers to a rescue email I no longer use. What can I do or who can I contact?

    I've tried that. After logged in, I go to passwords and security. It then tells me to enter my security answers (that I can't remember). It sends those answers to my rescue email that I no longer use. Therefore, I can't retrieve my answers or change my rescue email.... I'm still stuck.

    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!
