HT204053 HELP!! I am stuck in iCloud limbo!

I accidentally used a different email address for iCloud which I forgot the password for. I want it to be the same Apple ID as my iTunes. I have a 5th Gen iPod. I have tried all the advice on Apple and community and nothing I try works. I can't reset it because it does not send me anything to that email address and yes, I checked all spam, etc. I have tried answering security questions and it tells me my birthday is incorrect, and yes, I know what that is. I can't shut off "find my iPod" to reset as shown on Apple as you have to know your password. I can't delete it, restart it, etc! The "Sign in to iCloud" pops up like every 5 seconds on my iPod making it nearly impossible to use it!! I can't use many features like Facetime as they are tied into the iCloud and password for it. I am lost as to what to try next. ANY ideas!?? Thank you so much in advance!!

Not sure what you mean that you used a "different email address for your iCloud". Different from what? Are you saying you use a different Apple/iCloud ID for everything except for iTunes, and that you use a separate Apple ID for iTunes?
If you forgot the password to the Apple/iCloud ID that is signed onto your iPod, you can go to Manage your Apple ID and click on Reset Password, then type in the Apple/iCloud ID you want to reset the password for. If you cannot remember the answers to your Security Questions, you can contact Apple Support to have them reset for you:
Apple - My Apple ID (Manage your Apple ID)
ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS (if you need your Security Questions reset)
Cheers,

Stuck in Warranty Limbo - Need RMA for MFG limited warranty - Z10 Black Screen - USB not recognized (yes I've tried all the tips from other posts)

Here's to hoping a Blackberry employee reads this and can help me out.
I'm stuck in warranty limbo with my unlocked Z10. Bought new off Amazon.ca beginning of April-2014. While on Vacation the phone blue screened and died. It's outside of the online retailers 90 day exchange policy, in which case all I have left is the manufacturers limited warranty. Tried to contact Blackberry and they directed me to my carrier Telus, even though I did not purchase the phone through them. Telus was very helpful, we worked through troublshooting together, but unfortunately got to the same conclusion that the phone needs to go back for a hardware issue. They kindly offerred to RMA the phone for me through their system, however since I did not purchase the phone through them and it is an unlocked world phone it does not recognize the IMEI so they couldn't complete the process for me. There is absolutely no luck getting any help through any of the multiple Blackberry phone numbers I've called. Any help sorting this out would be much appreciated. I will drive the phone to the office in Waterloo if need be.

You're probably going to have to drive the phone to Waterloo.
Here's the situation: You bought the phone from Amazon which has a 90-day exchange warranty. That's mistake #1. Then you registered the phone for service on Telus' network but the phone wasn't purchased from them so they won't honor any warranty claims (which is their right because they didn't make any money from your purchase of the phone from them). You're in a catch-22 situation. There's really nothing I can advise you to do except buy your next phone from the carrier with which you have monthly service.
Not much help but that's how I see it. Perhaps others can enlighten me with a different point of view. Cheers.

If you were instructed to call them, then that's what you should do. They will probably need to verify your identity before helping you with the security question.

Help!Can't access iCloud (pics apps) even with correct password. Won't download my stored info on my new phone

Help!Can't access iCloud (pics apps) even with correct password. Won't download my stored info on my new phone

That happens because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, even though your last 1000 photo stream photos remain on your devices until deleted. When you enabled photo stream on your iPod 4, you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud. If you want to stream these older photos to your new iPod, you will have to create a shared photo stream on your old one that contains these photos (requires iOS 6 or higher) and invite yourself as a subscriber, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99.

Hey jestinsinclairr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you had one issue and then got a second trying to resolve the first. A frustrating situation for sure. The first article linked has what to do if it is not powering on unless plugged in. The second article addresses the error you are receiving when trying to restore.

HOW TO?: Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account. For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

i have an ippd touch 2g , a part of my keyboard won't work , i can type letters but i can't type numbers . please help i'm stuck with emojis keyboard

Try restarting the iPod by holding down the lock and home button together and then slide the power button to turn it off and then wait 10 seconds and start it up again. If it is not a reset issue then it may be a hardware issue. Is your iPod damaged or have you dropped it recently? If it is a hardware problem then you may not be able to fix it. If your iPod has multitasking options like the new iOS devices, close out the app and then try again, it should reset your device to letters instead of emojis.

I want to change my apple id password but I forgot the security questions please help me some using my icloud I'd

I want to change my apple id password but I forgot the security questions please help me some using my icloud I'd and if confirmation is must so please phone number is mine please send a code please help me my apple

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

HT201210 Stuck in Activation Limbo, How do I get out of it?

I have an iPhone 4s. I've had iOS7 ever since the beta came out. I received it with my iOS Developer Certificate.
Last night my phone just went into the Activation Mode, like when you turn your iPhone on for the first time. It is stuck in Activation Limbo. It will not move past the screen after you select a Wi-Fi connection. This message appears...
"Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes.
If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support."
Well I've connected my iPhone to iTunes and it says my software is out of date and needs to be updated. When I check for updates, it says my sortware is up-to-date and won't do anything. It won't even let me back up my phone.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way I can get my Phone back so I can use it? Do I just have to wait until it just randomly with Activate?

Hi
I am having this exact same problem. Apparently you need to put the phone in DFU mode, then restore the phone (i would advise backing up your phone before hand) However my phone will not allow me to do this so i am stuck as well.

My mail is stuck in white limbo.

My mail is stuck in white limbo. I can't get it out by restarting or force quitting the app, it always comes back in the same white limbo stuck mode. It's stuck in the middle of something that I can't cancel, how can I fix this? Thanks!

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.

TS3992 my iPad is stuck on iCloud back up and when I click on OK nothing happens. I tried to turn it off to hard boot it and it will not turn off. Any suggestions?

Hi
My iPad2 is stuck on iCloud Backup. When I click on OK, nothing happens. I tried to hard boot it by turning it of and still nothing happens. What can I do to fix this?

Reset it by holding the Power and Home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.
