HT201269 why do I need 2 emails when setting up and apple id

when seeting up my apple id I need to have 2 emails addresses, why is this?

Hello Joannesean2002,
You need only one Email address for creating an Apple Id and the Second Rescue Email address is optional and is required to reset password and security Questions in case you forget the Password or Security Questions. So if you have only one email address then still you can create your New Apple Id.
Hope this answers your question.

    The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

  • Order types, why do we need to create our order types and not use the stand

    HI
    Order types, why do we need to create our order types and not use the standard ones during implementation.

    Hi Raj,
    Well there is no hard and fast rule that you have to copy nad create a new order type. Its just to meet our own requirements that we copy the standard and make the changes if required to meet our business needs.
    And by this way we keep unchanged the standard order type for further use.
    If you are sure that the standard order type satisfies your need you can directly use that only.
    I hope this clarifies the issue.
    Do reward if find useful

  • I have os 10.4. Why do I need the mac box set to upgrade to snow leopard?

    I have os 10.4. Why do I need the mac box set to upgrade to snow leopard? What happens if I upgrade with just a 10.6 upgrade?

    No iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, Garageband, but I can pinch those off the 10.4 installer disk using Pacifist.
    You can usually get those from the original grey installer discs that came with your Mac without bothering with Pacifist. Look for an 'installed bundled software' or similarly named item on one of those discs, generally the #1 disc. Run that & the original versions of those apps that were bundled with your Mac will be installed. Software Update will let you know if there is an update you can download for them (but of course that won't include an upgrade to a more recent major version, which you would have to buy separately).

  • HT5622 Why do i keep receiving emails asking to reset my apple id password

    Why do i keep recieving emails asking to reset my apple id password ?

    It looks real, so smeone may be trying to break into your account if you keep receiving them. Rather than use a link in the email, you can use the link below to change your password or set up 2-step verification if your have an iPhone.

    Hi DrClap,
    I just wanted to check with you whether I understood your comment correctly.
    It's not possible to directly specify a physical file location path, like it is specified for HTTP URL +<c:import url= http://...+, that would internally/automatically convert in one of the form - Reader, Source, Document, String.
    It can only be produced/specified explicitly in one of the form - Reader, Source, Document, String.
    Am I correct in my understanding?

  • When setting up my apple id for the apple store I get to the credit card screen and it tells me I have to contact support to finish.  I can't seem to contact support as there is no number for them on this type of issue.

    When setting up my apple id for the apple store I get to the credit card screen and it tells me I have to contact support to finish.  I can't seem to contact support as there is no number for them on this type of issue.  How the **** to I talk to a person who can fix this?

    It's a real problem when you're deployed outside the US and your billing address, though totally correct, is not. This seems to be a common complaint. I think the billing address vs. your present location causes some security concern or similar nonsense that prevents progress.
    The only way I know of to resolve this is to contact iTunes Support by email. I have never had to wait more than a day for a response:
    http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    The response should not be "automated'. Explain your circumstances. You deserve a personalized response.

  • HT4979 why can I not send email when away from my home wifi? Am able to receive messages OK, and outgoing mailserver is correct?

    Why am I unable to send email when away from my home wifi ? I am able to receive mail OK, and have double- checked the outgoing server which is correct. This problem is consistent with my Macbook Pro, iPhone, and iPad2.
    Attempts to send messages results in them sitting in the Outbox and never- ending 'sending message' displayed.
    I am able to send using my   me.com  server.
    Home service provider is Cogeco.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Why do I only get Email when the computer is turned on?

    Using Thunderbird, If the computer is off, no emails are delivered. If the computer is on and I'm signed into my computer account, email seems to work normally. I do not need to be signed on to email.
    I previously tried Outlook and Windows Live and had the same problem. Earlier, I used Outlook Express in Windows XP which worked perfectly.
    My Email provider is mindspring and my computer is running W7 SP1.
    Thanks,
    Lynne

    Can you explain how exactly you expect to receive email when the computer is turned off?

    Yahoo has messed with their stuff lately (honestly they've been messing with their servers for months)
    One thing would be if you guys wanted to use the yahoo mail app, or there have been other users posting solutions that they say work for them

    These have applied to people not able to get mail but changing the settings may help you and your wife. (My yahoo is still working so I haven't needed to try any of these)
    I've noticed with my Yahoo that they've changed their login protocols. For example 'stay signed in' is always clicked and the push is for people to merge multiple accounts to access their multiple yahoo from one account/sign in instead of signing out/in to access different accounts. I'm wondering if that change is what's messing with the protocols needed for iOS mail to work. But no one really knows for sure (and neither Apple or Yahoo will comment on the issue)
    About all users can do is find work arounds that work for them.
    If these don't work or if you don't want to use the yahoo mail app, you might try using safari to go to yahoo.com and access your mail that way.

  • Netbeans - Why do I need to make separate library projects and import?

    I'm running through some of the some of the tutorials for netbeans like [acrostic example|http://www.netbeans.org/kb/60/java/javase-intro.html] and I can't seem to grasp the organization.
    When and why do I need to create a separate library project and import when the MyApp project I created has a node for libraries?
    When and why would I just create another class in MyApp source packages node as opposed to importing the class from a separate library project?
    Java's organization seemed simple until I tried the IDE. Help.

    Thanks so much for the response, I really have been having problems with this.

    Well, for starters, a lib project can be shared amongst many other projects. For another, you won't be deploying your app alongside NetBeans, so you'll need to provide all the libraries as well as your app when you do deploy. Having them all kept in a lib project makes this very simpleAfter pondering it I'm comfortable with the idea that MyApp's Library node shows what classes I have imported and that those classes, being custom classes, should be in a separate project.
    >

Not really sure what's prompted you to ask this one, to be honest. What do you mean?Ok, bear with me as I try to explain my confusion... If I right click on the Source Packages node of MyApp it presents me with the option to create a new java class. So why not just put all my custom classes and packages in the Source Package node of MyApp instead of putting them in library projects and importing them?
    I tried this, assuming all classes within a package would have knowledge of each other, thus obviating import, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Is that it?
    >

If that's not happening, you don't need it yetI might seem quite green, but I have to dive in to this because the application I am attempting to make requires the nice GUI editing of netbeans and will grow in complexity with time.

  • HT5361 What is the incoming mail server when setting up a apple email address?

    When setting up a new email account the field for the incoming mail server is greyed out.  How do I add the info?

    It should load that automatically. It varies.
    It will be some variant of imap.mail.me.com. That may get it to look up the correct one.
