  • HT1920 I no longer have access to the recue email and cannot remember my password how do I process to gain access to my iTunes account?

    I no longer have access to my recue email address and cannot remember my password how can I gain access to my itunes account? I have opened a new itunes ID but would like to transfer over all my music from my old account
    Best regards

    You can't transfer any content from one account to another account, all content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.
    If this page doesn't let you get access to your old account : http://iforgot.apple.com, then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get access to it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (if you've also forgotten the answers to your security questions then they should also be able to reset them)
    When you've got access to your account you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

    To restore from backup see:

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • I moved from USA to South Africa and now cannot play my music on my new PC.  I cannot remember the password for my USA account so cannot deauthorize that account to allow me to play my music on my South African account.  How can I now play the music?

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • HT204053 My email address has changed.  My apple ID for iCloud is my old email address and I cannot remember the password. Verification is sent to my old email address and I cannot retrieve it.  Any suggestions

    My email address has changed. I have my icloud acct sending stuff to an email that is no longer in service. I cannot remember the password and it keeps sending messages to an old email acct to try to change the password. Any suggestions.

    Go to appleid.apple.com and click in the reset password option.  You maybe able to reset using the security questions option.  If you can't, contact support using expresslane.apple.com email option, or call the AppleCare support line.

  • I cannot remember my password

    I am trying to use software update, but for the life of me, I cannot remember the password.  Even the clue does not help.  How can I reset this?

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.

  • ITunes 12 Cannot Remember My Password

    It seems I've always had this problem intermittently, but lately iTunes 12.0.1.26 cannot remember my password at all. I have to enter it two or three times whenever I launch the app. I'm gonna count the "two or three times" as a separate issue, since this also happens with PayPal, for instance. Why is iTunes unable to access Keychain? I have Access Control set to allow iTunes to access that item, confirm before allowing access, ask for Keychain password. Instead, I have to open Keychain Access, then copy/paste the password into iTunes each time.
    I see that this question has been posted a number of times over the years, yet, as far as I can see, it never is properly answered. Has anyone discovered a solution to this problem?

    Howdy monnick,
    The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips, like authorizing the computer with each Apple ID that you’ve used to make iTunes Store purchases, which will likely resolve the issue with the latest version of iTunes continually requesting that you authorize the computer.

  • I have just acquired an iMac desktop. I want to sign on to my airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network.

    I have just acquired an iMac desktop (about 4 years old). I want to connect to my Apple airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network and don't want to jeopardize what already works well. I am not all that computer literate.

    How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it.
    Read the user manual that came w/your Airport router or you can cross-post in one of the  AirPort Forums for instructions.

    Hey grandkids7k,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource provides troubleshooting information if you have forgotten your passcode:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    5. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
