HT4528 My iphone shows a different email addess that i don't recognize which is preventing me from downloading apps.  why did my email address change on my phone and how can i reset it?

My iphone 4s is showing an email address that i don't recognize and am unable to download apps.  how do i change it back to my email?

Your iCloud account is tied to your Apple ID account - if you go into System Preferences>iCloud>Account Details, you'll see the associated email address. If you need to change your iCloud prefs, change your Apple ID - http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/.
Good luck,

    Note: When you buy an iPhone from another country, you do not have warranty in your country of residence. Any warranty and sevices are only valid in country of purchase.
    For prices, ask your aunty or go online yourself.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    * In Firefox 3.6 versions on Windows and Firefox 4 on Windows and Linux it's possible to hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu of a toolbar.
    * Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    * Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

  • I am very confused. When I wanna to update my apps in app store, it shows the account which is my iPhone one is not my iPad one. how can I reset to my iPad account?

    I am very confused. When I wanna to update my apps in app store, it shows the account which is my iPhone one is not my iPad one. how can I reset to my iPad account?

    And I am very confused by your query. Your iTunes account is the same on all devices - unless of course you have multiple accounts to begin with.
    If you do have another Apple ID that you use for the iPad purchases, you can sign out of the account that is on the iPad in Settings>Store.
    Perhaps a few more details from you could clear up the confusion???

  • My iPhone storage is showing almost 7 gb of emails yet I hv no emails left on my phone. How can I clear this space

    My iPhone storage is showing almost 7 gb of emails yet I hv no emails left on my phone. How can I clear this space

    I had nearly 600MB of space taken by emails. I have 3 accounts. What I did was delete my main account, them reinstall it. The result was that my emails went down to just under 60MB, which I presume is the space taken by me less used accounts. Even though my reinstalled email account reloaded a couple of hundred emails, the space used was as stated above.

  • Pleas i forgot my security questions, and i can't reset my security questions, and i don't see the link to send a reset email

    <Email edited by Host>

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account - an alternate email address is a different address/setting on an account, and it's not used for resetting security questions.
    If you aren't getting the reset link then you don't have a rescue email address, and you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions - you will have to contact Support in your country 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 on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
    Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
