Hello I have an apple Id on my ipad 2 and I want to change my password of my Id but I could not do it because I don't remember the answers to the security questions what to do?
Did you setup your account with a rescue email address? If so...

I have an apple id but the email address that they send a reply to is one I no longer use. How do I change this in my profile? It does not show up as an add'l email address to delete
"The reply" as in the Rescue email to reset your Security Questions? If so, then you will have to contact iTunes Support directly to get them reset:

How can I change my email address on the Apple Registration? I want to make it the same as my Itunes email address.
Hi lininmn,
The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots.
I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Click on Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your Apple ID name and password. Click Edit and enter the new information, then click Save Changes. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

What was the error that you got ?
Does anything show on your account's purchase history ? If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases (the most recent is above the list).
If you have been charged twice then try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If you haven't then they might just be temporary store holding charges - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702 :
As with many other merchants, the iTunes Store and Mac App Store places an authorization hold on your payment card account for the approximate amount of any purchase you make.
Authorization holds are removed by your financial institution shortly after your purchase clears. The time it takes to remove authorization requests varies by financial institution. -
A friend accused me of switching an email account that I used several years ago to send them photos on Flikr (gmail) for their Apple ID - in other words of.messing with their account. I only used the gmail account to post / send them and several other people photos on a few occasions and have not used the account since. I forgot that I had it. When this friend couldn't access their iTunes account the store discovered that the email had been reset to my very old gmail address. How is this possible? Now, they are accusing me of hacking in although no purchases were made and nothing was done with the account. Still, my reputation is at stake. Could they have done it in error? It looks bad for me. Help please.
I made up the names edward and daniel, it's not actually anyone's email address, so no need for concern.
In practice, I'm sure you're right that I would have fewer problems with a longer, more complex email address. But in principal, the problem remains. I could sign up for the Apple ID
1234.NoOneWillEverUseThisAddress.5678@gmail
and someone else could sign up for the Apple ID
1234.NoOneWillEverUseThisAddress.5678+1@gmail
and apple would have no problem with it, even though for all intents and purposes it's the same email address. So the problem is not just the ambiguity of my, to use Dahveed's words, overly simplistic and unsophisticated, email address:
there is a fundamental flaw in the way Apple links email addresses to accounts that allows for this ambiguity. If they followed the same conventions that gmail did, there would be no possibility of this problem. -

I just changed my Apple ID. Does this automatically change all previous passwords associated with Apple products?
Changing your account id doesn't change your password. If you want to change your password then you can log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, or you can change it by logging into http://appleid.apple.com

What is being done about users inability to use their Apple ID at iTunes Store. I do not have another Apple ID, I do not want to change my password and I want my phone to work as it should.
You can try signing out and signing back in. You can also go into Settings > Safari and Clear all Cookies. You can even try logging into the iTunes Store on a computer and downloading a free app or something.
If none of those work, then you will have to wait for the issue to be resolved on Apple's end. -
How Do I Change My Password for this Apple Support Discussion ?
Hello All -
How do I change the password associated with my Apple ID (the very password I used to log into this support discussion...) ?
Can't find this setting. It's not under 'My Settings' or 'My Public Profile'
Want to change my password -
Any help will be appreciated,
THi
You can change the password for your Apple ID (which is what you use to sign into the discussions) here:

Hi,
I'm trying to change email address on my Apple ID since the email registered for the account has been hacked and I can't access it anymore. The email I want to change to is connected to another Apple ID I created about 4 years ago, though I successfully changed the email on that account as well. So the email I would like to use for my main Apple ID shouldn't be "locked" anymore.
Though, when trying to change the email on my Apple ID I get an error message (in Swedish, so this is a direct translate from google): "This e-mail address is your email address for notification. It can not be used as the Apple ID or primary email. Choose a different address."
I'm not really sure what this means or how I can fix this. The email address is connected to my Ipad and Iphone for the email app, can that have anything to do with it?
If it makes any difference, I updated both my Ipad3 and Iphone4 to ios 7 today. I'm trying to change from my Macbook air though.
Please advise, would really appreciate a reply ASAP.caek1 wrote:

It means exactly what it says... The email Address is in Use. You cannot re-use it.

Apple changed my Apple ID to the email address associated with my iTunes account. I now can no longer access my account because the old user name is no longer valid and has no password. I have been on the phone with tech support for hours trying to fix this. I can not update any of the apps associated with that user name.
Is this itunes on the iPad or on my computer? Thank you for the reply.
