I have Iphone3G - my email address was changed automatically to an old address after an software upload -- how can I get the correct email back?

When I first purchased my phone in January I had an email address of [email protected] but found that the phone and comline weren't talking to each other so I set up email [email protected] and everything worked perfectly   -- calendar, e-mail, etc. Last week a message appeared on my phone instructing me to upload new software. My [email protected] for icloud was replaced my the old email address. The account was locked so I went to iforgot.apple, etc and reset it. Then I took the option to change the email and on the computer all looks correct but my phone still has my old e-mail. I've turned it off and on hoping the new info would be loaded but no luck. Any ideas?

I kind of agree with Philly on this one.  If you get a new email address, there is no need to establish an entirely new account to use that address.  You just need to modify your account to show the new email address.  This way all your purchase history and rights to purchased apps stays in place.  Creating a new iTunes/Apple account each time your email address changes really doesn't make sense in my opinion.   I only point this out for future searchers who end up on this thread.

  • Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address.  My other devices all have the correct address.  How can I get the correct address for my iPhone?  The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

    Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address.  My other devices all have the correct address.  How can I get the correct address for my iPhone?  The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Hi, can you help?  My emails that I have received show the date received as either today, yesterday or July 28.  How can I get the correct date received?

    Hi, The emails that I have received show the date received as either today, yesterday or July 28.  How can I get the correct date received?

    That's very scary. They might do it, but I personally have never had Apple contact me re id's except on their site when signing in. I suggest you DO NOT respond until you have a phone conversation with Apple security. They can verify if they sent you the e-mail and why.
    While it's very possible it's true,again, I suggest you not respond until you speak to someone at Apple. I've often read here that when people sign in they are not allowed to because "someone else has used the id" type of statement.
    Also, you should be able to go to the app store and see what apps you have downloaded.
    Though it could have been a free app, have you checked to see if any were bought with your id account?
    I've gotten these types of e-mails from places like USPS and FedEx which look amazingly authentic and were from their website. I also received an odd e-mail from my cousin in Ireland last year that clearly was not from him. It was also sent to others in his family in Ireland. I e-mailed him that I only opened it because it had a .ie, but suggested he change... Days later I received mail from 'him' - same name, but at yahoo.com. 
    Again, I would call Apple. You can also report it at [email protected], but I would not settle for that given your situation. If nothing else, call Apple sales (sales depts. anywhere answer fast) and ask them to transfer you to security. Apple will not want anybody accessing their name, and while it's unlikely, it's not impossible that it is someone phishing.
    Hope this helps and can you let the support community know your results by posting on this thread when you're done? Thank you.
    Hope this helps.

  • TS3988 How can I get the verification email resent?

    The email address I had on file is an old one that I had to reactivate so I can get the verification email but my phone won't let me resend the verifcation email.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
    Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account

  • I hit Reset and lost everything.  I have the apple and a line under it.  How can I get the Home Page back?

    How can I get back to the Home Page?  I hit reset and lost everything.  I have a dark screen with the white apple and a line under it. 

    Wait until it finishes restoring. It would be a good idea to connect it to the charger so it won't run out of power during this process.

  • How can i get the downloads window back? i hate the add-on thing at the top right. can i change this?

    I liked how FireFox used to have a downloads window when I would download. But, now its like som sort of add-on, it's at the top right and I dont like it very well. Can I get the window back somehow? Thanks, Lego893.

    There is a way, but it may not be supported for ever... If you want the old download manager back, go to about:config, click the I'll be careful, I promise! button. Then search for "download", and set the browser.download.useToolkitUI preference to true (double-click it).

  • I am trying to sync 2 different itune accounts into one. The first one is so old I no longer have access to the email. When I just sync'd I only got 6 songs. How can I get the songs on my Ipod on this deskop?

    I am trying to sync my ipod info from my laptop to my desktop. When I did the transfer only 6 songs came through. How can I sync all my accounts. One email address is so old I no longer have access to it. Help???

    It appears that something happened to yur computer/iTunes files.  It happens sometimes.  To recovery:
    - Import the old music into the current iTunes library
    - Make sure all the apps are also in the library
    - If in the USA and therplaces where iCloud has benn released you can redownload most iTunes puchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - You can always redownload apps at no additional cost as long as you are singned into the same iTunes account the originally purchased them.
    - After all the suff in in the iTunes library, make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes. 
    - Restore the iPod from backup and restore as necessary.

  • EWS: Reading of linked calendars over WebServices -- How can i get the necessary email-adresses?

    What i want to do:
    i'm working on an service, witch should connect to an exchange-server an get all changed appointments to store them
    in an extra database.
    What i already have:
    I have the servnce yet done, except of one thing.
    My problem:
    The idea was to create a dummy-exchange-user, witch has linked all the shared calendars from oder users. So this
    user can see all the shared calendars in outlook.
    I can already read this linked calendars with FindItemType(), but i need the email-address of each mailbox witch
    belongs to the linked calendars.
    for example:
    z.B.
    User1 has the address [email protected]
    User2 has the address [email protected]
    User2 has shared his calendar and User1 has linked this shared calendar.
    If i don't specify the email-address, i get all appointments auf the mailbox, witch i'm connected to 8in this
    example the calendar of User1). If i specify the email-address of User2, i'll get the calendar of user2.
    Here my code (i shorted it a little bit):
    Private Function GetAppointmentsFromExchange(ByVal emailAdress As String, ByVal StartZeit As Date) As List(Of GroupWareAppointment)
    Dim lAppointmentList As New List(Of GroupWareAppointment)
    'Create new Find-Request
    Dim lFindRequest As FindItemType = New FindItemType()
    lFindRequest.Transversal = ItemQueryTransversalType.Shallow
    lFindRequest.ItemShape = New ItemResponseShape()
    lFindRequest.ItemShape.BaseShape = DefaultShapeNamesType.Default
    'Specify the folder to search
    Dim lCalendar As DistingishedFolderIdNameType.Calendar
    lCalendar.Id = DistinguishedFolderNameType.calendar
    'if not my own calendar, then specify the email-address of the linked calendar
    If Not (String.IsNullOrEmpty(emailAdress)) Then
    lCalendar.Mailbox = New EmailAddressType()
    lCalendar.Mailbox.EmailAddress = emailAdress
    End If
    lFindRequest.ParentFolderIds = New BaseFolderIdType() {lCalendar}
    'some nonrelevant code
    'Send Request to Server
    Dim lResponse As FindItemResponseType = myExchangeServerAccess.FindItem(lFindRequest)
    'some nonrelevant code
    Return lAppointmentList
    End Function
    This works pretty fine. But i have to know all the email-addresses of the linked calendars.
    The problem is now, that i don't know how to get this email-addresses. I looked a lot in the internet, but it seems,
    that ews doesen't have such a function.
    The only solution i found was to look in the active directory. But this won't work because active directory is not
    realy connected to exchange.
    So i need either a list of the exchange-users (i need only the email-adresses of the connected calendars, not of all
    the users on exchange) or a other solution, how i can get appointments from linked calendars without to specify the
    email-adresses.
    Does anybody have a tip for me?
    (Sorry for my bad english)

    Maybe somebody is interessted, how i solved it.
    My solution isn't pretty, but it works.
    First i get only the users, who have an mailbox on exchange from active directory.
    Then i try to get their calendar in a loop. If i don't hav the permission for the calendar, i try the next user.
    Getting the whole appointments with GetItem() was very slow. So i get only the ItemIDs an then get only this propertys of an appointment, witch i need (AditionalPropertys). This works faster.
    His Method works, but there is a problem. I can't see, witch appointments were deleted.
    So i tryed SyncFolderItem(). This wors very fine. I get the new, the changed an the deleted (not the whole appointments, because they are deleted. only the IDs).
    The only problem is the Property SyncState. This property defindes, from when SyncFolderItem() should sync. But SyncState isn't a date. It looks like a ID. I recive it every time, i start SyncFolderItem().
    So i have to store the recived SyncState to use it für the next sync. Otherwise the sync will start from the begining.
    It's pitty, that it isn't possible to use a date also.
    I thes days i will try the notofications, so that exchange notifiy me, when there is a change. I don't know, if its true, because some books tell, that otofications works only with one mailbox (the mailbox i'm connected to), an some books tell opposite.
    I will try it.

  • Apple ID email is no longer in use.  How can I get the verification email sent somewhere else?

    I have multiple Apple ID's.  One of which is an email address for a company I no longer work for.  I want to download all my music into the cloud, but can't verify the ID with that email.  Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    more than likely that app was downloaded using that apple id.. unless you know the password, you will not be able to update.. delete the app and re-download using your new apple id

  • IMac stopped recognizing my Internet connection (ethernet) after announcing an IP address conflict (all of a sudden, after 6 years). How can I get the whole network settings part back to default and start over?

    I had no trouble getting on line until last week when a message came on that
    IP address 192.168.0.139
    was in use by
    04:0c:ce:54:c1:e5 
    DHCP Server 192.168.0.1
    Since that time, no matter if I plug it into one router or the other  (I use a router in my office to share the one ethernet cable that comes down the hall) it claims that the ethernet is working and it knows that it is connected to the Internet,but it cannot access the Internet. IT seems to be stuck in a cycle of navel-gazing, constantly focused on its own ethernet IP address.
    All I know how to do is operate the thing; we have no IT person here. A visitor set up our network for us a few years ago. Only the iMac has this problem; my PC laptops go online just fine. But all my work is on the iMac.

    First thing to try is renewing the DHCP lease.
    System Preferences > Network.
    Do you have a green dot next to Ethernet? If so, with ethernet selected in the left pane;
    Check the location is set to 'automatic'
    Check 'configure IPv4' is set to DHCP
    Click the 'Advanced' button
    Check that DHCP is selected in that window for IPv4
    Turn off IPv6 (gives a conflict on some routers)
    Click the button 'renew DHCP lease'
    That should persuade the router to give you a different IP.

  • How can I get the awesome bar back. In v. 31 I have lost it and my search box has no search engines. I did use the classic restorer back a few versions, but I d

    This might be a duplicate-I neglected to click submit-so am trying again.
    Since I upgraded to v. 31, my location bar makes me type the address in exactly, or else it says not a valid address. I guess somewhere the awesome bar got lost. Also, my search box does not have any search engines listed at all. Back around v. 29 I added the classic theme restorer addon, but did not think that would have affected the location and search bars as it upgraded. Any help you can give me will really be appreciated. I have worked on this for days. At one, time the location bar was gone completely.
    Thanks in advance!

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

    I don't quite understand what you've posted. Have you cancelled your Gmail account?
    If you've just connected Mail to Gmail, and you've used IMAP to connect to it, you'll probably have an "All Mail" mailbox towards the bottom left of the screen (under the GMail mailbox). In there should be a Sent Mail box. All your Sent mail should be in there. To have it appear in the Sent mailbox at the top left of your screen, highlight Gmail's Sent Mail mailbox, click the Mailbox menu at the very top of your screen, and click "Use this Mailbox for - Sent".
