I have 2 apple IDs, one for Itunes, one for Icloud.  Have forgotten pasword for icloud ID.  When i try change password it invites me to change password on my other ID, which I don't want to do. How can i change the password?

I have two apple IDs.  One is used for most things - Itunes, Apps.  The other is the Icloud apple ID which I set up separately when I got my Ipad.  I decided to keep them both as I was worried about losing info.  However, on updating my Ipad to IOS7, it asked for a password for Icloud apple ID which I have forgotten.  I have tried to reset it.  The first time, Apple sent me a link inviting me to change the password on my Itunes apple ID which I don't want to do.  So I tried to sign in again using the Icloud ID.  Rather than asking for email verification this time I asked it to verify security information.  It asked for my date of birth which I gave, but it was rejected.  So I seem to have no way of resetting the password for the Icloud apple ID.  I know I can't merge the 2 IDs so i don't know what to do now!!

Firstly, go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with the ID you use for iCloud. A new password will be sent to your associated email address.
If that doesn't work, for example because it's going to an address you can't access, then you will have to contact Support. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'.

  • ITunes automatically download an updated version of an app which I do not want to. How can I restore the previous version of that app?

  • I've unchecked the boxes for apple e-mails (news and iTunes offers) but I still get marketing info which I don't want. What else can I do to stop the spam?

    I've unchecked the boxes for apple e-mails (news and iTunes offers) after following the link at the bottom of a marketing e-mail from Apple.
    Unfortunately I still get marketing info which I don't want. What else can I do to stop the spam?

    The e-mail checks out as having come from an IP address registered to Apple.
    Received-SPF: pass (mxeu0: domain of insideapple.apple.com designates 17.254.6.124 as permitted sender) client-ip=17.254.6.124; envelope-from=[email protected]; helo=msbadger0204.apple.com;
    The sender address wasn't spoofed and all the links in the mail lead to legitimate apple web sites. (It was an advert for a MacBook Air christmas special). There was a link at the bottom of the e-mail which takes me to the Apple 'manage your e-mails' page.

    On this page there are check boxes for the various Apple news and iTunes marketing e-mails, and the option to change my e-mail address. The boxes are not checked but I still get marketing e-mails.

  • HT5312 So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

    So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

    If you mean that you aren't getting the reset link, then from the page that you posted from :
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so. 
    You can contact iTunes Support in your country via this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

    Is there a limit for the apps that i purchased or i can purchase as much i want? and how can i know the capacity it's taking? Thank you

    Yes you can buy whatever you want if your credit card is in good standing.
    Before you buy, read the size of the download in iTunes/App/iBook Store.
    Rule of thumb, you need to reserve about 10% of your total space.

  • I receive the error "this apple id is valid but not an icloud account" when I try to open icloud on my pc. Help.

    I receive the error "this apple id is valid but not an icloud account" when I try to open icloud on my pc. Help.

    Music purchased from the iTunes Store is automatically available in iCloud.  This is "iTunes in the Cloud" and does not require an iCloud account.  The music is stored in the iTunes Store, not in a personal iCloud account.
    If you don't have any Apple devices you will not be able to create an account.  It wouldn't be any value to you anyway as it syncs data on you computer with your Apple devices. If you don't have any, there is nothing to sync.

  • I recently formatted my PC, I have lots of songs on my iPod which i don't want to lose, how do it put them onto the computer?

    I have formatted my PC and I don't have my songs on it anymore, but all my music is on my iPod. Is there any way I can copy those files onto the computer without losing anything?
    When I try synching my iPod it tells me that all data will be lost, so I don't know what to do!

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of thse discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by righ clciking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does noytinclude synced media like apps and music.

  • Bug? iTunes forced me to encrypt backup - I don't want this. How can I stop it?

    It's all in the title really...
    When I just did the latest sync of my wife's phone, iTunes insisted that the backup needs to be encrypted. I looked down, the option is unchecked. It has never been checked. I unplugged the phone. I shutdown itunes and rebooted. But when I plugged her phone in again, it again has said I MUST encrypt this backup. Why have I never needed to do this before? Why has apple decided I must do this now?
    So reluctantly I put a password on it, thinking that once it's on, I can uncheck it later.... nope...
    So I enter a password, which I REALLY don't want to do.
    I sync, backup complete... The encryption option is now dulled, I can't uncheck it...
    Changing the password does nothing to remove it because you can't leave the new password blank.
    I have not forgot my password, I just don't want one.
    and please, no suggestions or comments that I should encrypt them all, it's up to me. I just don't want it for either of our phones!
    edit: and now it's done it to my phone too... This is BS...
    I have included a couple of images to show my point, this is for my phone, I have yet to create a password for it, so you can see the checkbox is still off..
    and then when I cancel...
    Why does this phone now REQUIRE the backup to be encrypted?
    I hope someone has a solution here, because I've already researched people losing data because of forgetting passwords and the like... I just don't want this stuff stuffed up in any way, I need to keep this as simple as possible for my wife!

    Ok, I'm back home now, and I've uninstalled the profile that was required by the M1 carrier in Singapore (free plug). Doing this has allowed me to make an unencrypted backup of my phone! YAY!!!
    It has also allowed me the option of UNCHECKING the encryption option on my wife's phone...
    As you can see, I can uncheck it, and it gives me an option to enter the password to UNLOCK the encryption.
    This has now been done and encryption removed!!!
    Message was edited by: iMadivad - in trying to unlock the backup, I initially used the wrong password. I had actually put the innitial password in incorrectly. It took quite a few goes at getting it right, I had mistyped a double character sequence. I had at least 10 goes at getting this right, it appears there's no limit to the number of times you can try and get the password right - I suppose, this is why there are brute force attacks on unlocking this file out there.
