You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

TS3992 I have a pre paid Wi Fi with telstra for 12 months and yet I get the message of this I pad has not been backed up I have no idea how to back it up can you help. I have the same problem with my I phone withTelstra please tell me how to back them up

Hi I have an I pad 64 gig and internal wifi bought about 2 months ago. it keeps coming up with a message "this i pad has not been backed up" I have no idea how to do it can you help.
I also have an I phone 4s with the same message both are with telstra the I pad has a 12 month pre paid wifi contract and the phone is on a monthly contract.

Sounds like you actually paying for cellular service and you really need to be on wifi to backup your ipad/iphone.
Normally you have to be connected to wifi and you can do manual backup by going to Settings- icloud- storage and backup and pressing backup now button. Start with your ipad, usually size of the backup smaller and return here if you encounter a problem.

Can the genius bar help me with recovering my deleted text messages ? I tried using Dr Fone but its not reading the iOS on my phone and I am too scared to back up my phone. Please help !

i deleted a bunch of texts by mistake and know they are in my phone's flash memory, how do i get them back ? should I back up to my i tunes ? Thanks

There is no way to get them back, unless you backed up your phone regularly to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud.

My dad and I have shared an iTunes account for years and I just created a new apple id but I have no Idea how to get all those purchases to this new account. Help please?

The old Apple ID (presumably your dads) owns those songs and your new Apple ID does not. However, your dad can authorize your iD to use the songs by going to Store > Authorize This Computer from your iTunes menu and entering his Apple ID and password.

HT4009 I made a in app purchase on a game and it never took, when I went back and tried it again a window popped up that said I have already purchased this item but has not been downloaded yet? How do I download it when there is not a option to download?

Hi Dave_warr,
I would suggest restarting the iPad and see if the download resumes.
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
Resuming downloads from an iOS device
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes icon.
For iPhone/iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password.
Click the "OK" button.
Click the Resume or Resume All button to start the download.
If you don't see the application to download it, then follow these troubleshooting steps:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If the app does not appear in your list of purchases, then contact the iTunes Store for help:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBookstore purchase
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

First off, your installation disc is in all likelihood faulty.
This has been a known issue in the past:

Hello there, AniChirglyan.
The following Knowledge Base article talks a little about the purchasing order of items through the iTunes Store.
iTunes Store: How iTunes Store purchases are billed
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
iTunes may still ask you for information from your card on file if that information has lapsed or needs updating. The card information on file has to be correct, no matter what purchasing option you will be exercising for this purchase.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

My iPad is logged into my iCloud account, but my wife's iTunes. I have uploaded video footage from my iPhone to my iCloud. It appears on the iPad but is not accessible in iMovie? What's the fix?

You shouldn't have to change your iTunes account to not have to purchase it twice. If your devices are using different iTunes IDs, just purchase it on one device, then import it to your iTunes library by connecting the device to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Once in iTunes, you should be able to sync it to your other device (assuming both devices are syncing with the same iTunes library). (And even if they were syncing with separate libraries, you could use Home Sharing to copy the app from one library to the other.)
Or, am I missunderstanding something?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you still know the ID and password, you can change your email address.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
