HT5312 why does it take a billion years for apple to send rescue email????

I dont buy a lot of apps in the itunes store, but when I do I usually get the same ol login in 3-4 times and then the obscure when was the last time you took a breath or what was your grandmas neighbors maden name security questions..  I dont know the answers when I give them originally so remembering them is tough,  so I have to reset my them by requesting they send me an email  with instruction for reseting    but I never get the email   2 hours i wait ... Samsung has my business now...gooogle play is a cake walk compared to apple

Usually a non-delivery report is sent by your mail service provider.
Some will alert you to a problem after 2 or 4 hours and indicate they will keep trying.
Others may discover the issue immediately because the receiving server refuses the message right away.
But not finding out the address is invalid for a week is ridiculous. Does this only happen with the one client's email server? It may be misconfigured in some way.

  • HT5312 why can't I sign into my account and add a rescue email so I will be able to redo my security questions? I have been unable to buy anything from Itunes because it's asks me for security questions that I don't remember what I put

    why can't I sign into my account and add a rescue email so I will be able to redo my security questions? I have been unable to buy anything from Itunes because it's asks me for security questions that I don't remember what I put in the first place

    1. Because if you could, someone who breaks into your account could do it as well.
    2. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • After upgrading why does it take 5 minutes to connect to my Go Daddy email account.?

    When I log on to my GoDaddy email account, it takes almost 5 minutes for it to connect. Before I installed the updated version, it would take perhaps 1 minute. Is there some setting that needs to be modified so that the time is less?

    I am going to reply to my own post. My son schooled me on bluetooth, never turn it off and it is always on. That said, I admit I am a fool at times. This magic trackpad is absolutely awesome, so much so I purchased him one. I find myself addicted to it. Sweet.

  • Why does it take so much longer for applications to launch under lion as compared to snow leopard

    I have two iMacs one which cannot run Lion and one which does.
    Launching applicaitons under Lion takes a measurable amount of time longer to launch under Lion than they do under Snow Leopard.
    The Lion machine is newer, faster and larger than the Snow Leopard machine - 4 cores vs 2, however, every time I launch an application, such as Safari or Text Exit as two examples, the Lion machine just cranks and cranks (you can listen to the disk drive).
    Text edit is particularly rediculous. If I try to open a text file, either for the first time or one which has been opened by text edit before, I am greeted with the sound of the disk drive and the spinning beach ball.
    All hardware diagnostic tests pass with flying colors. Or so it appears as no errors or abnormalities are reported.
    This effect has been in place since the lion machine arrived (which was "factory installed" with Snow Leopard and then upgraded over the net to Lion).

    That is not normal, but what is going on is hard to say without some testing.  It could be cache-related, if you've gotten some corruption in some important caches.  Try getting a copy of OnyX and clearing caches.  (Note that cache clearing should be considered a troubleshooting step only...  don't use such utilities for routine maintenance.)
    You could also have a dying hard drive.  That would not necessarily show up on hardware tests.  Sometimes drive failures show up in advance in hardware tests or SMART status checks, and sometimes they don't.  That could explain the excessive hard drive thrashing.  If this is the problem, there may not be any reasonable solution until the drive finally goes kaput, or decides to change to a detectable imminent failure.
    There could also be any number of other problems, such as low RAM, hard drive directory corruption, incompatible third-party software, etc.  Try some of the techniques in the Mac OS X Speed FAQ.

  • Why does it take a few minutes for gmail emails to be forwarded to my icloud account on my Mac Book?

    Suddenly, my gmail emails which have always been set to automatically forward to my icloud account on my, laptop (especially slow now), and iPad, are now taking several minutes for them to forward.
    Why is this?
    I did recently update to Yosemite. Could this be why? I have never had this issue.
    Thanks!

    Just to rule out Gmail, I have been having the exact same issue from a private-domain email account.  Like you, I recently upgraded to Yosemite and I'd say the timeframe roughly corresponds to that. I've seen delays of as much as three or four hours, in fact.  Crazy.

  • Why does it take over ten minutes for email to get through for my request for a signature

    Why isn't this program faster? It's been over 20 minutes emailing a test form, to myself, to see how quick this is? Is this normal? Not what I was looking for in a software program

    Have you tried to eliminate everything extraneous. In other words, do you experience the same delays with a simple Java program (no lookups, JNDI) that loads the drivermanager and creates a connection.
    Do you have access to a traciong JVM or some program that captures run-time execution timing information? Even without the source, this will tell you the specific class::methos where time is spent so you can better determine where the delay is ocurring.

  • Why does it take 7-42 minutes for Firefox 4 to open once I click the icon? (I have timed it, yes.)

    I'm writing this on ie, which I HATE, because since I installed F4, it will not start up in a reasonable time. I did all the basic troubleshooting, uninstalled and re-installed it, checked the options, etc but nothing works. Everything elso on my computer works instantly, except F4. What's up with that and am I going to have to go back to using the hated ie all the time?

    It sounds to me like the installation didn't perform correctly.
    What I suggest you do is to go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall it, but don't checkmark the option to remove your bookmarks, customizations etc.
    Before you do that though, go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0] and download a fresh installation file.
    After you uninstall the existing installation, reboot.
    It's also wise to disable your AV before installing again. If you've got AVG, this is particularly difficult because it doesn't have an Exit option. Instead, you have to open MSCONFIG and remove the checkmark from '''AVG Watchdog '''which disables everything. Any changes to MSCONFIG requires a reboot I regret to say.

  • HT5312 I didn't receive security questions reset from Apple to my rescue email. Apple can't reach me at my mobile phone...... Help needed please! Thank you in advance!

    I have entered a country code with my mobile number. Apple said they have tried to reach me but fail twice. My mobile phone doesn't ring at that time scheduled by Apple.
    How can I change my rescue email address?

    It's not supposed to; an alternate email isn't the same as a rescue email. Click here, phone Apple, and ask for the Account Security team.

  • Why does it take. So much longer for YouTube videos to load on my iPad 1st gen. then on my iPod touch?

    Why does it take so much longer for YouTube videos to load on my 1st gen. iPad then on my iPod touch or my laptop?

    This is not the place to make a point. This is a user to user support forum. I do not need instructions about the use and care or alleged failure of cables. At no time did I ever say or imply that you were an idiot, that is your statement and words, not mine. Take the time to Google and you will find instances where there have been injuries and death dealing with 3rd party cables and chargers. The abilities that Apple has for manufacturing and what business decisions they make in creating their products is nothing more than speculation, and that is not allowed under the terms of the forum that you agreed on when you joined here. If you want to rant at Apple, then use the feedback link, www.apple.com/feedback. Other users cannot do anything for you.

  • TS1702 why does it take so long for the updates to download on my ipad?

    why does it take so long to for the undated Apps to download??

    First shut down the text app and clear both
    cache and data and do a normal power cycle. Follow that with  a system cache clear and then restart the text app again and restore your preferred settings for the app.

  • HT5312 The send rescue email option is not being provided to me.

    I do not remeber my answer to my security questions. I created this account almost three years ago. The send rescue email option is not being provided for some reason. I just purchased an itunes card and wish to purchase some music and an app for my ipod. If some one can help me out that would greatly be appreciated.

    You need to contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them and asking for the Account Security team.

  • Why does it take so long to delivery?!

    Ordered my Macbook pro today. Dispatch date for the whole order is 1-3 business days. Delivery estimate is 19th - 23rd January (today is the 31st December!!) so why does it take so long for the courier to deliver?? That's over 3 weeks away and a long time between dispatch and delivery!

    I'm lucky enough there is one in Southampton where I live and there are two in Bristol where I study so I could easily go and pick one up! Infact I think there is a store within an hours drive of anyone in the UK now, plus there are official Apple stalls (with Apple staff and Genius bar) in most electronic superstores. So not too hard to find!
    However, the issue is that I'll be paying for my Pro through finance (Barclays in the UK) so I don't really want to have to cancel that as they do a credit check on you and I'm afraid applying for finance again would affect my rating so I'm not too keen on doing that.
    And before any of you suggest it, my finance has already been approved and Barclays will credit Apple within one business day (Tuesday, after the New Year public holiday on Monday) so this is not a reason for the delivery to be slowed up.
    Out of interest I went onto the store again and added all my items to the basket. I ordered a MacBook Pro (standard 2.4 GHz 500GB model), Microsoft Office for Mac and Apple Care under university pricing and the delivery estimate was for the 4th January. So I'm wondering what could have possibly delayed my order!!

  • Why does it take so long to download a podcast on Mac as opposed to iPhone?

    Performed a speed test of ISP and results were roughly 40/40. Why does it take 3 hours to download a 22MB podcast on iTunes via Mac?

    I have the exact same problem. I purchased apple tv several years ago, and every time I go to rent or buy a movie it takes anywhere from 3 to 7 hours to download the movie. There is no spur of the moment "hey lets rent a movie tonight" because I know it will take overnight to complete the download. I've checked my internet speed and it spot on. I've noticed other threads with people having the same problem but no one seems to have a solution.
