ICloud security lock out

I was checking emails on my iPhoone and was promptedt o enter password for Apple ID asscoiated with iCloud .... I entered what I thought was the correct password .. response was wron g password .. was redirectred to reset Password ... given option of security questions or email ... chose eemail .. nothing arrived ... selected security questions ... security questions came up that I couldn't answer .. in fact couldn't remember having been asked these questions Apple ID previously. My account was migrated from Mobile Me to iCloud ... iCLoud locked me out after 4 wrong attempts for 8 hrs ... this was 9 hrs ago
... still locked out .. have called Apple Support .. tey say wait for 8 hrs ... any ideas folks?

This is EXACTLY what happened to me. And my id never reset. This has been horrible. Apple insists there is nothing they can do even when I have proof I own the account and brought my identifying information to the apple store.
I think apple may be having hackers that lock you out of your account and then send you a bogus email about iCloud Security. I think both issues are something apple needs to address. There needs to be some way for you to get your email back for people who migrated from Mobile Me to iCloud and only had one security question. It is bad customer service from a company who is supposed to have the very best.

Security lock out question

I have gone to update my apps, and am locked out because I forgot my password to many times. So I have reset my password and I.d but still the security is locked me out. I can not get into iTunes Store or download anything, or update anything because of this security lock out. What can I do?

Contact iTunes store support.

Frequent requests to login in to Apple ID followed by Security lock-out

I have an iPhone 5s and an iPad 2 (not air). My son has an iPod that is connected with the family sharing option. Over the last month or so, I've been frequently—and I mean FREQUENTLY, almost every day—been asked to enter my Apple ID password. That would be frustrating enough, but then, after I enter it, it pops up again and again and again until it tells me my password is wrong. I can tell you with 100% certainty that I have entered the password correctly more than once in a string of those pop-ups and it continues to happen as I described. And, when I then go to reset my password, I'm given the option to "unlock" my password which requires me entering security questions and my password, which it readily accepts as correct and unlocks my password.
Most of the time, I will then go to use my devices after that and the password will then work for a while until the cycle starts again a day or so later.
I've talked to Apple Support and they told me the only reason I'd be getting locked out of my account is if someone has tried to enter my password too many times, but from my end, I would be the only person that would be trying to enter it. And that doesn't solve why its not accepting my password that I know for a fact to be correct when asked to sign in.
As added information, I did completely reset my password about a week ago and it still continues to happen with the new password. Also, when I then sign on to once of my two Mac computers (iMac and Macbook Pro) they prompt me to enter my password twice and then verify the security code from my credit card in iTunes.
I'm beyond frustrated at this point. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

I am having a similar problem. My account has been disabled, I have changed the password and spoke with tech support and they said i would have to talk to someone about why my account was disabled before it ca get fixed.

Cm security lock out

how can I get out of cm security lock out

By what method are you locked out? PIN, pattern, password or via the online locking page? Cheap Chinese-made ad ware like all CM products do the opposite of their advertised function. Ad ware and push ads are a huge issue with that "suite" of software, from CM Security, app lock, clean master cache cleaner, cloud services, etc... Each one does one thing well and is mediocre at the reset. It is a bloated mess of unnecessary software. Contact Us - Cheetah Mobile

My usual Apple ID/iCloud account has been locked out. I tried the email link - didn't receive an email. So I created a new Apple ID with another email but now I can't access my other Apple ID Mail, etc.. How do I get the Apple ID I want to use working again? Help.

Hi JkeeneSoldano,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To regain access to your Apple ID, try to reset your password using one of these methods:
Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
From:
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If you need to use the email verification method but don't receive the reset email, see this link for more help:
If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Locked out of iCloud

I've been locked out of my Icloud account and I can't get in from my security questions, does anyone know how I can get it or a number to call?

I think Apple is having a systemic problem relating to a recent upgrade. My IPhone will not get on internet and refuses to accept my Apple password.

I've forgotten one of my answes to the "security questions" now I am locked out of my account. All I wanted to do was buy an album and now I am "locked out" how do I get Itunes to let me buy this album?

I am not a ferquent user of Apple aside to download music on to my Ipod touch and I am not overly pleased with it. All I wish to do is download and ablum and cannot remeber the answers to one of my security questions.*seeing as I rarely use it* now I am locked out of my account and all and all very annoyed. how do I become unlocked and change my security questions so that I may download this album and stop using Itunes all in all.

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
    1. Use Apple's Express Lane.

          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 'Forgotten Apple
          ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
          phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
     2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support or
          Apple ID- Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. Ask to speak to

If my husband add a new iCloud account to his iPhone 5, will he be "locked out" because he's using a new Apple ID to do it? Does he have to use a new Apple ID to create a new iCloud account? He set up his phone using my Apple ID because we didn't know any better. Now we want to separate calendars/contacts, but are afraid of the 90-day lockout.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can change the Apple ID without any problem. On his device, go to Settings > iCloud > Delete account and login with his Apple ID so he'll get his information. iCloud needs an Apple ID, so if he hasn't got one, he must create an Apple ID > http://appleid.apple.com
When you delete the iCloud account, all the information will be deleted, so I recommend you to turn off each service before deleting iCloud

I am attempting to make my first purchase in the App store, yet it is asking me security questions I know I didn't enable and I keep getting locked out of my account despite resetting everything.

This usually wouldn't pose to be a problem, but I am a college freshman and I just redeemed my $100 giftcard to the app store. I am beyond frustrated and don't know what to do.
It is my first time making a purchase off of this Mac with this account, so it is asking me two security questions. It keeps asking me who my favorite and least favorite teachers were. I know for a fact that these are not the security questions I enabled, so I went in to change them again and logged out of everything. I logged back in and I was getting the same thing from the App store -- it was asking me questions I didn't enable. I've been locked out of my account for eight hours twice and all of my Mac's information is at home and not easily accessable to me, so I don't want to have to call and be asked for information I do not have.
What do I do? I need some crucial apps for classes that start in less than fourty-eight hours from now?
I have changed my appleID's information three times now: passwords, rescue email, and of course, my security questions. I am at my wits end and not pleased that I will possibly be losing $100!

You've been hitten by Apple's recent SNAFU. I fear you are SoL until their pending investigation fiasco is over with.

Apps and Music are not from iCloud. Are from iTunes and App Store.
You can change this from: Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Sign out and sign in with new ID, but you will have to pay again to download apps that you already have in your old account. Or leave it as it is to share purchases with your son.

My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer. For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it. I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud. How do I change the Apple ID (not the password)?

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

I'm trying to set up an iPad for work and the apple id I was trying to use came back expired. I set a new password and then it said it was invalid. Now I'm locked out for too many tries answering security questions that I don't remember setting up. Help!

I seem to be stuck in apple ID ****. First the password was expired only two minutes after I finished setting up the account and then the new password was invalid. I don't know what to try next but this is making me crazy. And I'm locked out for eight hours for too many attempts at answering questions that I never set up in the first place. I don't know what gives but something is way off. I need to set up this iPad for work but I can't get past the login.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Some glitch occured and you have to restore/erse the iPod. Y will have to restore from an existing backup if y ohave one.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT5312 I can no longer access my rescue email address. I have forgotten my security questions so am locked out. Is there a way round this?

I have an Apple ID which I use for itunes. I cannot now access the rescue email account I gave when registering. I have forgotten my security questions and they keep sending emails to the email address I can't access and now I am locked out.

If you don't have accessto your rescue email address (you won't be able to change it until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
