I can't sign in...too many apple email addresses

As of right now my iphone is useless.
Too many past Apple email addresses have been assigned by Apple, which I never asked for.
Keeps asking me to change password.
Sez my birthday is wrong.
I cannot update my phone.
Try to call, but you want to charge me $19 to fix your mistakes.
I have a phone that is perfectly useless, cannot update apps, so why bother?
I'm so disappointed in what this company has become.

  • Too many outgoing email addresses.

    What do I do when I have too many outgoing email addresses and cannot get to the bottom to edit or close the message?

    Hello mktapplesupport,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you would like to remove an email account from the Mail application, please follow the instructions below:
    Removing an email account
    You may want to remove an email account from Mail, for example if you no longer use the account.
    Important: Removing an account will permanently delete its mailboxes, messages, notes, and to do items. If you want to keep those, be sure to copy them to an On My Mac mailbox before deleting the account.
    Exchange and IMAP accounts store their mailboxes and messages on the server; deleting these account types in Mail will not permanently delete messages from the server. However, if you are not completely certain that your account is one of those types, be sure to copy the mailboxes and messages you want to keep into an On My Mac mailbox, or save individual messages manually by selecting them and choosing Save As from the File menu.
    To remove an email account in Mail:
    Open Mail (click it on the Dock or open it from the Applications folder).
    From the Mail menu, choose Preferences..., or press Command-, (the Command and comma keys).
    Click the "Accounts" icon.
    Select the account you wish to remove.
    Click the "-" (minus) icon. You will be alerted that "The account's setup information, mailboxes, messages, notes, and to do's will be deleted permanently from your computer."
    If you are sure you want to remove the account and email messages from your computer, click "Remove" to complete this process.

  • Too many unused email addresses

    I have an @me.com, @icloud.com and and @mac.com email accounts that are linked with my apple products and apple id. I don't use any of them, ever, and can't manage to get my current gmail account linked. Is there a way to simplify my accounts? The edit apple id site doesn't give me an option to change anything.

    If you Apple ID is an @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address, rather than a non-Apple one (which would have to be because you migrated from a long-standing MobileMe account) you can't change it. You aren't under any obligation to use the addresses, though obviously iCloud can only handle these address - you can have other email accounts and set them up separately in the Mail app. You would just use them as a login.

  • HT202667 I am ditching my non-Apple email address and want to stop using it. My husband's ID is his icloud email, why can't mine be?

    I don't want to run two email addresses and want to use my icloud email address for all correspondence. Itunes keeps sending me emails to my old address and it won't let me change my Apple ID to my icloud address. My husband's is using his without any issues. Is there a way round this?

    I'm afraid not. While people who started with iTools or MobileMe had their @mac.com/@me.com (and now @icloud.com) address as the ID from the start, and people who open a new Apple ID and iCloud account at the same time from the iCloud preference pane can choose to make the @icloud.com address the ID, if it's the case that your ID is a non-Apple email address you can change it to another non-Apple email address but you cannot change it to your @icloud.com address.
    You can of course set up forwarding from the ID address to the @icloud.com address so that you only have to look in one place. However you should be aware that if the setup means that you can only be contacted by Apple at the @icloud.com address, then if you have a problem such as a forgotten password or a corrupted account, Apple can only contact you at an address you cannot access so it's essential to have a 'rescue address'.

  • We have too many apple devices, how can I creat another apple ID and divide the devices among 2 Apple Ids?

    Hello all,
    We started off with the original iPhone a few years ago and now between my wife and I (plus Kids) we have too many apple devices under the same apple-ID (2 X iPhone 6+, 2X macbook Pro, 2X iPod-touch and 1X iPad)
    We are constantly running into issues because everyone in the house is using the same apple id, downloading Apps using the same ID, sharing the same cloud and receiving each other's iMessages.
    I know that I can create another Apple-ID, what I am unclear on is once I do have a new apple ID, how do I assign that to half the devices (1X iPhone 6+, 1 X MBP and 1 Ipad)
    Please respond if you are able to help.
    Thank you

    I'm not sure what they told your at the Apple store, but each Apple ID can only create a single iCloud account.  If you want separate accounts for all these devices, they will have to be created using separate IDs.  Note: you can do this and still share the same ID for other services such as your iTunes store account.  The iCloud ID does not need to be the same as the ID used for other services.
    To create an account, go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with a different Apple ID.  If you want to migrate a copy of the current iCloud data to the different accounts, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the devices keeping the current account will not be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

  • How do you set up iCloud on the iPod touch if it says too many apple accounts have been signed onto the device

    How do you set up iCloud on the iPod touch if it says too many apple accounts have been signed onto the device.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately you will need to create your Apple ID (account) on another mobile device or a Mac computer. Once three iCloud accounts have been created on an iOS device, it doesn't matter what you do to that device, no further accounts can be created on it.

  • Well, I created a new Apple ID and I put money on it, I wanted to sign into ICloud and it wouldn't let me sign in due to the usage of too many Apple IDs created. The point for logging into the ICloud was to save my photos before I reset my phone.

    Well, I created a new Apple ID and I put money on it, I wanted to sign into ICloud and it wouldn't let me sign in due to making too many Apple IDs created. The point for logging into the ICloud was to save my photos before I reset my phone. Is there any way I could fix this? I also want to transfer my money because I think it's a waste to just forget about the $13.75 on my account. Thanks.

    I recently created a new apple ID
    Bad idea.
    Content bought with an Apple ID is forever associated with that Apple ID. Apple will not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple will not merge Apple IDs. Unless you are prepared to forfeit all the previously purchased content and buy it all again with the new Apple ID, you will need to maintain the old ID to update and redownload your content.

    Of course not.  Didn't you bother to read the TOU of this forum?  This is a USER TO USER technical support forum.  Apple doesn't post here.

  • I am unable to change or delete my iCloud ID, it is prompting sign in using an old email address that used to be my Apple ID, others have had this same problem but the answer seems to be to delete the iCloud account but I can't do that.

    I am unable to change or delete my iCloud ID, it is prompting sign in using an old email address that used to be my Apple ID, others have had this same problem but the answer seems to be to delete the iCloud account but I can't do that, because when I select delete account it prompts me to sign in on the old email address which doesn't exist anymore!! Please help!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    can I sign in with multiple apple IDs in a single apple device without deleting my previous one?

    Hi swagyoloswag,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    There are several different services that require signing into an Apple ID to use on your iOS device. You can sign into different Apple IDs for different services on your iPhone. For example, Apple ID #1 for iCloud and Apple ID #2 for iTunes & App Store. You cannot sign into the same service with two different Apple IDs at the same time. The attached article has a list of services that are accessible with your Apple ID.

  • I would like to update to Firefox 5.0.1, but I can't due to, too many things won't work with the version & will be disabled.

    I have wanted to update from 3.6.22, to 5.0.1, but can't do to the following reasons: I can't due to, too many things won't work with the version & will be disabled. They are: Microsoft. NET Framework Assistant 1.2.1, Iconix 3.90.1, HP Detect 1.0.5.1, Yahoo! Toolbar 2.3.5.201101200332202 (I don't care about Yahoo! Toolbar, because I don't use it!). As soon as these issues are fixed, I will be able to update, to the latest versions. These issues should be fixed & ready to work, before a new version is available. Thank you!

    Yes, my telco is an approved carrier. If my phone was brand new, I think so, they opened it in front of me.. I really couldn't remember it was 1.4 years ago. It did seem new.
    Well it says, "_____" cannot be used to unlock this iphone. I've tried both my apple ids but it didn't work.
