You'll need another trusted device, or your Recovery Key, which you may have elected Apple to keep for you.

  • Keychain verification code is being sent to an old device I no longer own.

    I have a new iPad Air and iPhone 5s both running IOS 8.2! I am trying to setup keychain but I no longer have access to the mobile number/ device that the verification code is being sent to. How do I edit those details So that the verification code is sent to my current mobile number Thanks.

    Howdy Andy,
    The information outlined below details what to do should you not receive the verification code when setting up Keychain.
    Make sure that you have a strong cellular network connection on your phone.
    Make sure that your phone number can get SMS messages. To check, ask someone to send you a text message.
    Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:
    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. (In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain.) Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number. 
    On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Options next to Keychain. (In OS X Mavericks or earlier, click iCloud, then click Account Details.) Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    If you can't access a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, contact Apple Support and verify your identity to get help setting up iCloud Keychain.

    " I ordered the Snow Leopard software and tried installing it, but it stopped and said to clean the disk."
    First off, your installation disc is in all likelihood faulty.
    This has been a known issue in the past:

  • I have not been able to verify my iCloud account as the verification has been sent to a previous email address no longer in use! How do I get iCloud to send verification email to my present email address?

    I have not been able to verify my iCloud account as the verification has been sent to a previous now defunct email address!  How do I get iCloud to send the verification email to my present email address?

    If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Trying to verify my iTunes account, but don't have access to email

    I've been trying to verify my iTunes account in order to sync some music from my iPod to my computer, but after logging in it says that verification is necessary via email. I can't remember the password and recovery is out of the question since in my haste to make this mule account I but in bogus information. Is there any other way to verify my iTunes account?

    That's because you don't have iOS 5 or higher. See the following:
    Connect the phone to your computer. Open iTunes. Select your phone from the sidebar under Devices. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Click on the Update button.

  • How do i verify my icloud account when the verification email is no longer active anymore?

    so before on my email i had used for my itunes and icloud account i had been recieving too much spam mail so i completely deleted the gmail account and made a new one. i am trying to change the itunes and icloud account to the new email but i cant because it keeps saying "please verify your icloud account by checking the email apple sent to you" but the problem is that that email is disabled therefor, no verification...
    i tried just deleting the whole icloud account but it then deleted my notes and other things along with it and i have to keep restoring my old back up in order to have all my information again.
    How can i fix this so i can keep all my notes and just change the account?

    Did you create an entirely new ID or did you just change the Gmail address to a new email address on your existing ID?

  • HT201303 I tried to update my security questions this morning but got timed out.  Ive just tried to get into my account but the system does not recognise the answers to my question.  How can I rectify this problem please

    I was trying to update my Security Questions this morning but got 'Timed Out' I've just tried again to get into my security settings but the system does not recognise the information I'm putting in. Can anyone tell me how I can correct this problem.  I can still log-in.
    Best wishes

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)
