HT4933 "Reset Apple password" phishing?

I'm receiving regular "Reset Apple Password" notices that must be phishing, but they seem to come from Apple. Is there any way to stop this? If I mark as Spam won't Apple's legitimate emails be treated as spam? Headers:

Cannot reset apple password

I am unable to reset my Apple pw. When I select the "mail me the reset instructions" option, the message says it mails the message, but it doesn't. Tried this a number of times. Then, I tried the route of providing credentials, but I must have put in the wrong birth date because the system says it is incorrect. There seems to be no appropriate Apple contact number to solve this. I am stuck.
Anyone have suggestions???

Call apple tech support. I had the same kind of issue with my daughters iPhone and they were very helpful

This is the 4th time I have had to reset my password in 2 months, this is being generated by apple not me. I keep getting emails as well telling me to reset my password. Is this due to a hacking attempt or a virus or perhaps IOS ? What is going on??

I have a problem with my Apple ID password. I have been asked several times over the last few months for my Apple ID password and then when I go to enter it tells me that it is incorrect and I have to through the whole thing again.

If you are receiving e-mail messages telling you to reset your password, you should never click links in those e-mail messages and enter your password there! That is a common phishing attempt, and entering your Apple ID and password on the page you are directed to would give it to the hackers behind it.
It could also be an error of some kind (someone is trying to reset what they think is their Apple ID) or a malicious attempt to reset your password (stupid, since you'd get the reset e-mail, but some folks aren't that bright about this sort of stuff). In either case, turning on two-factor authentication will prevent anyone from even attempting to reset your password without additional information. See:
Apple introduces two-factor authentication
If you keep getting the reset e-mails after turning that on, it's phishing and you should just delete the messages.

If you are receiving a message that your iTunes account has been disabled and resetting your password does not resolve the issue, then you will need to contact iTunes Store Customer Support via http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

When trying to update or add new apps to our daughters iTouch she gets and error saying "cannot connnect to iTunes stores." What to do? We have reset the password, gone into the apple store and so much more.

Hello jaybearden,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iOS device since you get an error 9. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Welcome to the Apple community.
These types of messages often indicate a problem with the devices serial number, have you had your phone repaired at any stage or did you buy it second-hand.

Apple id was originally disabled. I reset my password and can sign into my apple id account. But when i want to buy an app in the app store it says my apple id is disabled again.

apple id was originally disabled. I reset my password and can sign into my apple id account. But when i want to buy an app in the app store it says my apple id is disabled again.

It's real easy to create a new one and, in fact, it's too easy. I say that because multiple IDs are a PIA. The problem is that anything obtained from the iTunes Store is PERMANENTLY associated with the ID that was used to obtain the item(s). iTunes items can not be transferred from one ID to another and IDs can not be merged.
The problem arises when you want to update an app. If you're doing it from iTunes on your computer, you must log out and back in to get to the correct ID. Then you update and log out/in again to get back to where you started. It's slightly easier if you update from the iPad/iPod device as there is no need to log out/in BUT you still need the correct password for the appropriate ID. Of course, with a disabled ID, the problem is much worse!
A replacement Apple ID makes sense ONLY if you wish to start out absolutely brand new with zero iTunes Store purchases.
If you're really butting your head aginst a wall and you're reasonably close to an Apple Store, my suggestion is that you make an appointment with the resident "Genius" and get his/her help.
One last thought... If your brother actually got a human on the phone to dispute the charges, go there and explain the problem. Of course, if Apple did not accept his explanation of what occurred, that could be the whole issue. Apple believes that money is owed on the account!

A friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue. How to register the phone with Apple?

A computer illiterate friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as his yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue as the Apple server identifies the hardware as registered. How to register the phone with Apple?
I helped him create a new email address and new iCloud account on my Mac but when we try to register the phone with Apple it says: Maximim accounts limit reached for this device. How can he register the phone? I read different threads and found out that only Apple care can do that. We're in Romania and don't know where to call. Any suggestions on how we fix this?

When I checked the support site for Romania, you apparently don't have an Apple Care contact center. You "may" try calling the US Apple care number to verify the account and have the password reset sent to a different email address. 800-694-7466

How do you reset an apple ID password, when you can't remember (or reset) the password of the linked account?

Hello!
Finally got around to restoring the settings on our old iPhone 4ses, however, in order to do so for my husband's old phone, we need to turn off 'find my iphone'. The problem is that he cannot remember his apple ID password (and never set up the security profile in its entirety, so no good there), nor can he remember the password of the linked email address (which is an apple one).
Does anyone know how to go about remedying it? Sure, you can request a new password, which is sent to the account linked to your apple account, but what if there's no way to access the linked account (or reset that email accounts password, as it is an icloud account and redirects you to the reset apple ID site)? It's driving me nuts!
I hope this makes sense - am feeling less than thrilled right now.
Thanks in advance.
cheers
Zoe

Thanks for that, Roger. I had tried to access support through their website, but kept getting a message along the lines of 'no solution found'.
For reasons unknown, I decided to update the software on the phone, and was then able to restore settings that way. Weird, but I'm happy that I didn't have to resort to violence towards the phone!
Thanks again.
cheers
