I can't login to my account. I had to create a new acct to post this.

I have created my second new account today in order to post this. I wanted to post a question earlier, but when I tried to sign in Firefox told me the password I entered was wrong. It was not wrong. I created a new account and posted my question. Then to see if I could figure out what was wrong with my original account, I signed out of my new account and tried to sign in on my original account. No luck.
So then I tried to sign in to my new account. Same response: wrong password. I tried resetting my password four times and each time, after resetting it and being presented with the sign in page again, I got the same incorrect password response.
To post this I created another new account. To test whether this was related to the fact than I am now using Firefox 5, I tried to sign in with IE to both of my other accounts. No luck, same problem both times.

I figured it out. The short explanation is this: Use different email addresses when you set up accounts, and for the password reset, use that same email address. Otherwise, Firefox will connect the reset with either nothing, or with a different account that had that email address assigned to it.

    Yes.
    You have already redeemed it.  It should be available on the old account.  Why did you make another?

    I changed my Apple ID (other email address and password) and now I can not login to my account in the iPhone iCloud. When I open the tab iCloud displayed my old Apple ID (it was in the iCloud) and asks for a password, but neither the old nor the new password does not match. What to do?

    If you want to change your iCloud ID or password on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated information.  Note: this only deletes the account and any synced data from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

    For info we are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your iOS device by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
    If that doesn't fix it then contact iTunes Support and see if they can/will unlock it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • After complete reset of iPod after lockout,  I cannot retrieve old gamecenter ID.  how can I use my old account for gamecenter now that we have had to create a new username?

    We had to create a new username for gamecenter using the same apple ID.  We want to use the old gamecenter account....we have purchased in-app items for those games and now have no access to that account.  How can I fix this?  Or am I just out of luck and start over with the new username.....

    You are running into the Activation lock and you need to enter the Apple ID and password for the account last used on the iPod.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    To recovery use of that account:
    Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
    This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.
    If not successful, contact iTunes

    - Try another payment method.
    - Contact iTunes
    Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
    - Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

    How can I reset my security question and I cannot create a new account because I have £18 on the account that I can't remember the security questions to

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • I had to create a new Apple ID but it won't let me update apps because my old account keeps showing up how do I stop that

    I had to create a new Apple ID but it won't let me update apps it keeps showing my old account how do I stop that from happening

    Apps are always associated with the AppleID that purchased them, you cannot use another AppleID with them,
    So in order to update them you must use the credentials that were used to purchase them.
    You can chnge the details (Name and Primary email) for an AppleID instead of creating a new one.

    Adobe is giving me the runaround when all i want to do is download the programs i bought several years ago. Anyone else experience this? Contacted support, was told i would get a call back.  Account blocked so I had to create a new one to download trial versions to compete my work.  So frustrated.

    You will need to have the serial number to activate the products. Please have then handy & also check the compatibility of the operating systems.

  • I have had to create a new Apple ID due to my old email being locked/out of use. I can not access my old email/Apple Id to change icloud and imessage to my new Apple ID. Any ideas?

    I have had to create a new Apple ID after having my previous email locked and put out of use. I have managed to change my purchasing for music and apps to my new Apple ID but for iCloud and iMessage I can not access my old email/Apple ID to change this.
    Any ideas guys. Sorry if this has been posted previous.
    New here.
    Thanks

    You need to delete them and then download them from the new Apple ID. This may require repurchasing paid applications.

    It is possible that you forgot to add a file extension (.json) while saving and in that case you may be looking for the wrong file.
    Also make sure that you search for hidden files and folder in case the file was saved in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
    Firefox won't import the file without a .json file extension ("Can't process ..."), but you can create a backup with any name.
