I entered the wrong email as a rescue email
When I was registering my new imac and created an apple id I didn't know what to put for my rescue email because I only currently use one email. I tried entering an old email but I think I typed it wrong because I can't get into it.
Is there a way to change a rescue email?
Log into your AppleID account (click Manage My AppleID) and once logged in, go to the Alternate Email Addresses section and delete the old one, add a new one.

I have recently switched to icloud. Lately I have not been able to receive emails. A msg comes up asking me to reenter my password. Perhaps I am entering the wrong password and have forgotten what it is. How can I find my old password or change it and get my .mac account email working again?
If it was setup using your iPhone and your Apple ID then as far as the iCloud team will be able to find out, you set it up. Passwords cannot be retrieved.
Change all passwords on accounts associated with your iPhone. -
When trying to email pictures from IPhoto for the first time, I chose to use my Yahoo server, but I mistakenly entered the wrong password. Since then, everytime I try to email pictures I get a message saying "The server didn't recognize your username/password combination". How can I correct this so I can email pictures using my IPhoto?
iPhoto Menu -> Prefences -> Accounts. Delete and recreate your email account.

What if someone else put my apple id email for there rescue email address and security for their itouch but i accidently gave them a wrong apple Id what can i do to hellp them and myself with this situation???
No need to get in touch with account security because they will only tell you what I'm about to tell you...
Just log into the appleid.apple.com website > sign in with his/her apple id > go to password and security in the left side > enter the security questions > and from there you can edit the rescue email. -
I'm trying to send a photo from iphoto - but apparently I entered the wrong password, and now it does not give me the opportunity to resubmit my correct password - it only tells me that mine was wrong and will allow me to cancel but not correct. I tried to cancel and start over but it still doe not let me re-enter my password. Is there some "command" that will help me?

Having trouble important my Google contacts via Microsoft Exchange. An Exchange pop up says that I have entered the wrong password. Help?
I found a fix!! Refer to this article regarding using Microsoft Exchange for Google accounts: http://www.zdnet.com/with-new-gmail-and-google-maps-ios-apps-the-iphone-5-is-cle arly-the-best-smartphone-available-7000008756/
In a nutshell, the Google/Microsoft Exchange combo will no longer work on apple devices. You will need to delete your Exchange account altogether. I know, scary! After you delete it, add your Gmail account like you would add any other regular email account on your device [Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Gmail > add your info]. That takes care of your email and calendar.
Now to get your google contacts back! Refer to these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4872?viewlocale=en_US
I promise, these steps worked for me (even though I was wincing while I deleted my Exchange account). Now I have my Gmail, Google contacts, and Google calendars (even the shared calendars!) on both my iPhone and iPad :D -

I just got an IPhone today and I went into the App Store to create an Apple ID and I accidentally entered the wrong birthdate and now it is saying I do not meet the minimum age requirement. How can I fix this and finally create my Apple ID?
Try this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
If that doesn't work and you have not verified your email address, you may still be able to use it to create an Apple ID. Just start from scratch. -

Last night as I was setting up the pin I got distracted and entered the wrong one, now I can't access my phone as I don't know what I entered. Is there anyway around this or do I have to wipe my phone and sign in with my Apple ID and restore from icloud??
I can't ask for help on chat as I'm away from home and don't have the box with me, and obviously can't get the serial number in my phone as I've locked myself out!!
Any help will be much appreciated!!https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212

How do i add a rescue email address to an already existing apple id? The only option it gives me, under the manage my apple id category, is an alternate email. I am trying to make my alternate email address my rescue email address. I am new to this community thing.
Note that the rescue email address is not on the "Name, ID and Email Address" page -- you need to click on "Password and Security" on the left side. Even after you do that, it may or may not be available. As noted in the following it is only available if you have 3 security questions and are not using 2-step verification: Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses

I went to set up an ITunes account and entered the WRONG e-mail. After everything was complete it sent the Itunes conformation number to the wrong e-mail. I dont believe they can use it because they dont know the password it will ask them for that e-mail for the account. How do i redeem the itunes back? When i enetr the code to try and use it for my correct e-mail it says it already has been redeemed.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column; 'iTunes Store' in the second column then see if there is an appropriate place to report the problem.

I need to modify an incorrect mailing address on my AppleCare Protection Plan certificate. After I registered a new product with AppleCare I realised that I'd entered the wrong postal address during the registration process and now I need to update my details to show my correct address. I've been trying for several hours to find a way to modify my address on the AppleCare site, with no success. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

How many times can you enter the wrong pin code on an iphone before it resets?
How many times can you enter the wrong pin code on an iphone before it resets itself?
Hey Robin.T,
Thanks for the question. The following article provides the answer to your question:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you enter the wrong passcode six or more times, you'll see a message that says one of the following:
iPhone is disabled
iPad is disabled
iPod touch is disabled
You can also set your passcode lock to wipe the device after 10 unsuccessful attempts (Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Erase Data)
Thanks,
Matt M.
