HT5312 I received an email asking me to verify a rescue email?  Evidently someone other than me used my apple id as a rescue email address? How do I get this resolved?

my icloud email address was used by someone as a rescue id?  How do I fix?

Call Apple Care for your country and ask for the Account Security Team, then request help resetting passwords, questions, whatever is needed to maintain the security of the account.

  • I've logged onto iTunes, but it's asking me security questions because it's a new device, and I'm getting the answers wrong, but iTunes wants to reset but send the new passwords to my ex partners email address how can I get round this.

    I believe part of the recovery process is you get an e-mail allowing you to reset questions.  If that e-mail isn't correct either because your son set it up then you really have no option but to ask Apple again.  They are getting strict abotu security and given the number of "My iTunes account got hacked" posts here I can guess why.  They have no way of knowing you really are the owner of the account.  It's like me going to a policeman and saying, "See that car over there?  That is mine, can you open the door for me?" and the police opening it on that basis alone.

  • HT4436 For the past two weeks, every time I start up my computer I'm asked for an iCloud login. I've never used iCloud and I'm not likely to. How do I get this login to stop automatically showing up?

    For the past two weeks, every time I start up my computer I'm asked for an iCloud login. I've never used iCloud and I'm not likely to. How do I get this login to stop automatically showing up? I'm using an iMac G5 with OS 10.9.4.

    One more quick thing first. Hold the SHIFT key this time as you startup and see if that gets you any further (this is called 'Safe Mode' by the way). I'm not too confident that this will work in your case but it's worth a try. If it boots up, go into Disk Utility and repair permissions.
    If it doesn't, you're going to have to do an Archive & Install which will install a fresh copy of the OS over the top BUT keep all your users, files and apps in place.

  • HT4759 I'm getting a lot of spam in my icloud account and would like to change my icloud email address, how can I do this?

    After having a mac.com email for nearly 10 years I fell for a scam email and now am getting spammed daily in my email account.  I use this email account for everything and would like to either block the spam emails - although that's hard since they change their email address daily - or just get a new icloud email address.  I've researched this and have not found this easy.  Any suggestions on how to change my icloud email account? Keep in mind all my devices are connected through this email including iTunes.  Any help is appreciated - thanks!

    To get a new iCloud address you would have to create a new iCloud account and migrate your iCloud data to the new account.  If you want to do this, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, and when prompted about what to do with the iCloud data choose Keep on [My iDevice].  Then set up a new iCloud account with a new ID, turn you iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.  When you turn Mail to On you will get a new @icloud email address (@mac and @me addresses are no longer available).  Once your data is in the new account, you can just delete the old account from your other devices without saving the data on the device, then sign into the new one and the migrated data in the new account will be synced back to them.
    If you need to, you can change your iTunes ID to this new email address.  This guide explains how to change an Apple ID name, but you can follow this and edit the primary email address instead to change it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40.

  • I redeemed my $25 itunes gift card on a new account with no email address how do I get the credit on my regular itunes account?

    I got a $25 itunes gift card and tried to redeem it on my regular itunes apple ID account and I had a message saying the code was invalid so I made a new account and redeemed it on that account but it doesnt have a valid email address and I cant even remember what it was how do I get the credit from wherever it is onto my regular itunes apple ID account?

    Qauzzy,  The credit was applied to the account you used at the time you redeemed the card.  There is no way to transfer the credit to another account.
    You might as well just spend the $25 on the new account, and then stop using it and go back to your regular account..
    For future reference, do not start a new account just because you have a problem with the code.  Rather, follow the suggestions in this document: iTunes Store: Invalid, inactive, or illegible codes

  • I have lost my email configure with my yahoo email address how do I get it back

    My email was set up so that I could click the email icon and receive all my yahoo emails, I now get an error message that the pop server is not responding, so I can no longer receive or send emails from the Mac but have to go via safari and then onto my Yahoo account. What has happened and how can I fix it?

    Are you using the app 'Mail'? Assuming nothing's been changed on your computer it may be just a temporary glitch and right itself. If it persists, sometimes deleting the account in Mail and creating it again can fix things.

    You cannot merge apple id's. remember that before creating any new ones in the future.
    You have two choices. Live with it, or repurchase the apps under the id you intend to keep using.

  • HT201342 I have a sympatico email address how do I get my emails

    I do not know how to get my sympatico emails to come to my phone and ipad

    Normally, I would go to simpatico ( or any other providers website ) and look for instructions to set up mail account on iphone. You can also Google instructions, but they may be outdated. You can also contact Simpatico support for correct instructions.
    I did Google it myself and that link seems to be relatively new, but since I do not have Simpatico - I can't check it for you.
