HT5312 This isn't helping me I am very upset and would like to know how I would be able to set up a rescue email when I already have an account ):
I try and try an I can't seem to reset my security because the ones that pop up I don't know the answer to and I would like some actual help
You need to contact Apple. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team.
It isn't possible to set up a rescue email address without correctly answering the questions.

HT5312 how do i set up a rescue email with my already exsisting apple account
Is there a way to reset security questions without having to have a rescue account if i can please send a links so i can do so
If you've forgotten more than one of the answers, you can't do this on your own and must contact Apple. Otherwise, the article you asked this question from provides the instructions to do so; it also provides a link to the iTunes Store staff should it be necessary.

i have lost all my notes saved on my iphone after syncing it. and my default mailbox is gmail. notes were very important. and now i dont know how to get them back. can anyone help me out please? thanks in advance.
Try this ..
On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to: Notes
Then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
Other than that, try Time Machine > http://pondini.org/TM/15m.html -
HT5312 How to I set up a rescue email on an already existing Apple ID?
How do I set up a rescue email on an already existing Apple ID
Hey lehrke5555,
Thanks for the question, you are on the right track. The article you referenced provides steps for editing a rescue email address - you can follow the same steps to add a rescue email address.
1. Navigate to My Apple ID using your web browser.
2. Click "Manage your account"
3. When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
4. Click Password & Security
5. You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so.
6. After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
Please note that you will need to know the answers to your security questions to setup a rescue email address. If you do not know the answers to your security questions, follow the instructions to contact iTunes Store Support.

Help, i made a terminal command and i don't know how to undo it.
i found my long lost folder of terminal commands.. and i forgot what this one did, so i clicked it (i made the commands into a "unix executable file").. and all my files on my desktop are now hidden.. the only way to find them is to type in the file name into finder.
the command i typed in was
while (true) do
chflags hidden ~/Desktop/*
done
and now everything on my desktop is gone, and i dont know how to undo it, I undid once about 3 months ago when i wrote it, but i forgot what i did. I tried counterering the command with others but it isn't doing anything. thank you
edit: i know this command cant destroy my system because it wasn't a sudo, but still, i had all my class work on my laptop and now it's all invisibleHi, try this...
while (true) do
chflags nohidden ~/Desktop/*
done -
i am trying to start a seperate itunes account for my daughter and the itunes store wont pull up at all on her ipod. it's pulling up just fine for my iphone...how do i fix this issue?
I'm assuming this is the iPod Touch, since that is the only iPod that accesses the iTunes store. I would recommend you post this here https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipod/ipod_touch

HT5312 I didn't set up a rescue email when I first registered my Apple ID!
When I first registered, I didn't take the initiative to add a rescue email to my Apple ID, so I currently don't have one. I forgot the answers to my security questions, and I can't reset them because I don't have a rescue email! Is there another way to reset my security questions, or perhaps add a rescue email?
Not without contacting Apple; that article provides a link to do so, or they can be contacted via phone.

HT5312 How do you set up a rescue email?
I just got a new IPhone, but before I can make purchases on it I ha r to answer my security questions, which I forgot the answers to. To reset the questions I have to get an email sent to my rescue email. But I don't have a rescue email. I already have an alternate email, but I guess it's not the same thing. So how do I set up a rescue email?
Did anyone ever answer you or did you figure this out? It's very frustrating and misleading. From what I can tell everyone is saying they're different. Also, they tell you that you set up your rescue e-mail when you create iTunes account. However, I have an old account and never set up a recue account. When I go through account on iTunes there is no prompt to add a rescue account. When I go through the manage my account via apples website page it will allow me to add an alternate e-mail which then send an email verification to the alternate asking you to verify the new account and it states that this is your primary account now for any correspondence. I know my security questions but I can't for the life of me find someone that has distinctly answered the question letting you know how to add a rescue e-mail account to an existing iTunes account.
Sorry for the long e-mail and the redundancy of the question but I've literally wasted half my day trying to get this stupid question answered and someone who will pay attention to my actual issue. Which is I need a recue account and not an alternative account. I'm actually pretty tech savvy so make fun all you want but this is very frustrating and there seems to be no one or any forum where someone actually answers the people that have bravely asked the question over and over and gotten told to go to manage my account and add an alternative account and that is not a rescue account. Please help! I'm about ready to smash my MBP over my desk! -
I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!
Log into the iCloud on your MacBook Pro and enable Photo Stream:
Then launch iPhoto and set iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences to the following:
Then check the Photo Stream section of iPhoto:
This is to confirm that the photos are still in Photo Stream. If they are they will be imported into the library.
NOTE: not all photos in an iPhone will be in the Photo Stream. PS only keeps photos in it for 30 days.
If you have the missing photos in your library put them in an album. Connect your iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes. In iTunes you can select that album in the library and sync the photos to your iPhone to get them back on the iPhone.

Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how to resolve it. This is my problem:
Have downloaded for example: Queen – Bohemium Rhapsody from a compilation album as well as a few complete Queen Album CDs into the iTunes library and then put them into playlists,
When I go onto my phone and select Queen on the MUSIC app using Songs tab at the bottom of the screen it will display all Queen songs and their resective Alum pics, that is all those not in a complilation album, .
If I know the song title I can select the songs tab and find the song that way,
I’ve tried fiddling with the settings in the iTunes app by going to ‘get info’ tab and trying to sort the problem out that way but am not having much luck.What I want the phone to do is show, for example all Queens songs including those in compilation albums. Can this be done, would be grateful for any ideas on how it can be done, that is if ic can be done, any ideas
Thanks for your helpTry assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

My iPod touch was stolen and recovered. I can use my Apple id for this site but the theif changed the Apple id needed to update apps etc and I do not know how to delete his acct. Any help with this will be greatly appreciate
If the thief enabled activation lock on the device, then there is nothing that can be done. Only the password for the Apple ID that it is locked with can disable activation lock.

I'm having multiple crashes on my new 5s. I can't connect to my Mac Pro!! Power cord broken. How can I fix this without connecting to my MacBook? Very frustrating and disappointing. Please help!!!
Hi there Rlong50,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

i have my daughters iphone 3, i want to use it as an i-pod, but it keeps receiving messages from some her friends is there a way to stop this from happening, please help, my phone is maxed out and would really like the storage for music, thanks
It sounds like it still has her information on it, so it might be efficient to navigate to Settings, then General, then Reset, then Erase All Content and Settings. You can then set up the phone again, using your information. This way the phone will be yours, officially, and her data and information will be removed.
