  • After I converted to OS5, the iCloud user name on my iPad is set to my email address, not my iCloud User ID.  How can I change it.  It's correct on my iPhone and MacBook.

    After I converted to iOS5, the iCloud user name on my iPad is set to my email address, not my iCloud User ID.  How can I change it.  It's correct on my iPhone and MacBook.

    You'll need to save the documents first from the incorrect iCloud account, sign out then sign in to the correct iCloud account and upload the documents to that account.

  • How do i reset my security questions when the recovery email address is wrong?

    My brother has managed to mess up his Apple ID. We have Apple ID and password but everytime a paid App is trying to download it asks for security questions which he has forgotten the answers to. The recovery email address he has entered is not correct to nay email account we have in the family and I haven't a clue what to do next? There is a £15 voucher on this account which we would like to use.
    Any help/advice would be much appreciated
    Many thanks

    First try:
    Can I change the answers to the security questions for my Apple ID?
    Yes. You can change the answers to the security questions provided when you originally signed up for your Apple ID. Go to My Apple ID and click Manage your Apple ID. Sign in with your Apple ID name and password, go to the section Password and Security and click Reset your security information.
    next (I think your can't do this one)
    Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
    Last contact iTunes by:
    https://expresslane.apple.com/Issues.action
    Click on "Account Management" and then on "Forgotten Security Questions". That will take you to a page where you can talk to iTunes Support right away, or you can schedule a call to talk to them. They should be able to get you squared away so that you can log on to the old Apple ID.

  • How can i change the email address for apple id and icloud?, how can i change the email address for apple id and icloud?

    i had to change the email address to my apple id. now when ever i try to use imessage or the icloud, it wont let me because it is using the old email address. i cant change it on my phone and idk what to do on my computer!

    If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new 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, 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.

  • I have forgotten my security questions and would like to reset them... My reset email is an old email and I no longer have it. How do I change this reset email? Someone plz help! 

    I have forgotten my security question answers and would like to reset them. My reset email I no longer have because I have gotten a new email. How do I change my reset email to my new email? Some one plz help! 

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    Changing the rescue email address requires supplying two of the answers. They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    Christian,
    You are seeing the result of Preferences>Type>Highlight Substituted Fonts
    You must have at least one missing font, so there is something to sort out.
    In other words, Illy is kindly trying to tell you that you are not looking at the font you think you are looking at. She is always very helpful.

  • Appleid, recovery email address and security questions were hacked.

    My son's recovery email address and security questions were hacked.  How can we get these changed so he can purchase more apps?  Currently he is being asked to answer security questions that do no pertain to him (like what were you doing on such and such date - he wasn't even born yet).  The email address in the recovery section is r********@answers.com.  We don't know who this is, but it appears they have hacked his account.  He has an itunes balance and I don't want him to lose it.

    You or your son will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update the rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

    Click here and use Apple's iForgot service, or contact their Account Security team, or if you're the device's original owner, take it and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.
