Invalid email when trying to reset password

I need some help with my account logging in. i just recently bought minutes for my skype account and used it twice and now it wont let me log in. My old email was [***], but last time i was logged into skype i changed my email in my account because the old email [***] is no longer valid. My new email is [***] (#1) or [***] (#2)
When i type that in like i forgot my password it tells me email is not found in the system.
I know my skype name and password but it wont let me sign in. when it sends me the temp pass it sends it to my old email. please help. I am a paying customer but have really become frustrated.
For your safety and protection, please never, ever include any personally identifiable information such as your real name, e-mail address, or a telephone number in a post on a public Community or forum such as this. Thanks!

Apparently you didn't fully understand my problem, because the solution that you gave me is one which i have already tryed. The account that i am emailing you from is the new account that i created only to talk to you about my old account which i cannot get access too. It is telling me that my old email doesn't exist. I cannot seem to attach my old account to this new email. I also have a second email that i can use, but i cannot get any access. The link you gave me about the forgotten password is not applicable to my circumstance.
When you sent me that i did try it though and it keep trying to reset the pass for my new account. I need my old one to work or transfer. My old account email is [email protected] and the username is: rayper7
Please help me!

No mails received when trying to reset password

I don't receive emails when trying to reset my sync password.
I have gmail account and have also checked spam folder.
I have done this several times without success.
How can I regain access to my bookmarks and passwords?

There has been a problem, a bug was filed and I had hoped by now this would be resolved. I do not have a working 2nd device at the moment and so am not able to check myself whether sync is working again yet. I may have expected it to be fixed quickly, but I note a bug was filed and is still open as unresolved.

Check your junk or spam mail folder. Also, if you established a rescue email, it could be going to that email address. If all else fails:
Contact applecare and ask for account security.

HT200148 using Terminal and when trying to reset it, tells me "no user" help!

I've done everything until I open Terminal and when trying to reset it, I type "sudo su" it asks for password I then provide pass it takes me to sh-3.2#, I then type mkpassdb -setpassword slot-ID it says no user. can somebody help?

Are you using the full hex slot-ID, something like 0x0000000000000000000000000000001? If you don't you'll get that error message.
After that you might notice that it doesn't seem to do any good. I had to reboot before the change "took."

I keep getting an invalid address when trying to purchase songs. All the information is correct - it just send me in a circle

I keep getting an invalid address when trying to purchase songs on itune. All the information entered is correct. I have tried on my iPhone, iPad, iTouch and on itunes.

THE FIX: your credit card address AND spelling of your name must match iTunes.
Please don't google or read other blog entries on the Internet telling you to use a restaurant address or those that are telling you apple is doing address validation. They are all written by 17 year olds who pick up the first thing and re-post. Why do people try to "help" by authoritatively posting an answer? The mass of them are ruining my google searches. :-)
Apple is now validating whatever ASCII that you told your credit card company. It's not just address validation.
Name AND address must match.
Then it worked for me.

I am not receiving the verification email when trying to add an email account

I am not receiving the verification email when trying to add an email account to facetime and iMessage. Is there something else I can do?

Hi,
I don't ever remember getting an email when Adding an account.
Apple seems to verify it some other way (a self test to see if it is valid ? an actual email ?)
I tried adding an older @mac.com account that is not a valid email (gained when MobileMe was the Apple service and the @Mac.com registration was used for iChat names).
I then tried to add a Yahoo one.
This got past the first part and said an email has been sent.
As you say this has never arrived.
( checked the web Site for Yahoo Mail as well as my Mail App.)
In each case I also checked the Spam and Junk folders in both places.
I then tried an iCloud ID.
(FaceTime seems to treat the Original Apple ID and the iCloud issued email as separate IDs)
I did not get and email (Although it said it was sent) I did get a Pop up for the FaceTime app asking if I wanted to add an email and a second for the actual email itself. (It turned out it added an @me.com email also issued by iCloud before the @icloud.com was issued.
This is much the way iMessages adds emails when you add the emails to an iPhone, the Mac version gets pop ups.
I recently had something similar in Messages that might be related.
In Messages 7 (Mountain Lion) it seemed it could be any Apple ID that was used.
In Messages 8 it seems this has to be an iCloud linked one.
The @mac.com one I used above could not be added to iMessages either when I tried it about two months ago.
It might be one I have removed the creating/Recovery email so that i could create another Apple ID.
The name continues to work in Messages as an AIM valid screen name but I could not add it as the iMessages account and got sent to iCloud to "register" it but ran into problems that I have not sorted out yet.
EDIT.
Checked the Apple ID site and the @mac.com email I used has no linked Alternative/recovery email.

I got "Invalid link" when I to reset my security questions from rescue email. Moreover when I log in into my Apple ID and click on Passwords and Security I'm thrown out with the message "An unknown error has occurred".

Here is my problem:
Need to change my email with the one that currently I'm using for rescue
Planed to change first the rescue email with a new one.
But:
I Forgot the security questions
Followed the reset security questions instructions.
Got the email on the rescue address but The link I've got on my rescue email to reset my security questions is invalid. By now the 3 hour window for the validity of the link is gone.
If I go via Apple ID, I login successfully but when I select Security I'm thrown back into Manage your Apple ID screen that displays now as well this message "An unknown error has occurred"
Tried several times, the same again and again.
On top of the long hours on the forums I spent 20 minutes over the phone with the US support on international charge, eventually I hanged up while waiting too long for the 3 rd expert but got an email later on indicating to clear my browser history and try again, which didn't work. Case number 519598448. Used my laptop with IE and my iPad, same result.

This problem now appears for me too.
When using iforgot.apple.com email-verification clicking the reset link results in the "Invalid Link" error.
The error, that caused me to do this (password failing to verify against iCloud) has vanished since though.

Have tried to reset password but have not received reset email after 2 days. Please help!

Hi there fellow Apple-ites.
Hoping you can help with this.
After using my current Apple ID (new email address) for about a year for app store and iTunes, find my friends, iPhone (etc) and being able to log into iCloud, my new (this year) MBP has somehow reverted to my old ID (old email address, still same account). I just upgraded to Lion and now iCal tells me it can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with Apple ID, which is my old email address.
I want to be able to log in under my old Apple ID to change it over to my current Apple ID, or somehow unlink from my old Apple ID.
I can't remember the password because it's been ages since I've used it. I have tried to reset but I haven't received the reset emails in the last 2 days. I have checked spam and trash in all email addresses in case it is a different address to the one I thought. I have also checked that I don't have any filters that could delete the email.
I tried the secret questions but I can't get past the birthdate page - says my info is incorrect! I have followed the links from the general support area and checked iCloud system status and everything is normal. I have noticed a lot of people have this problem but that it appears unresolved or they haven't written back on how it has been resolved.
This problem seems too common to warrant a phone call or visit to an Apple store (there is no Apple store in my town either). Anyone have any ideas? I promise I'll respond when/if it resolves! By the way, I'm in Australia.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for that advice @randers4.
I linked through and submitted my info as a "topic not covered" in the iCloud section. After entering the serial number of my MBP it turns out I wasn't eligible for technical support (though I don't think this is hardware related support) and the final suggestion was to take my computer into an Apple store. I called my local Apple reseller and asked for assistance. The customer service rep was very nice but unable to help, so suggested I call Apple Support on 1300 321 456. I did so and, again, spoke to two very polite and helpful customer service people (I was transferred to security services). I didn't have to be on hold to speak to either rep for more than a few seconds! After trying a few different things, he worked out what was happening...
So, to cut a long story short, to solve the problem in my OP, all I had to do was log out of iCloud in my System Preferences and log back in using my current Apple ID. [Edited to add that I had to sign out of everything I was currently signed in to with my Apple ID before logging out and in again.]
Problem solved!

My apple ID was hacked. Trying to reset password but the email never reached my account. Trying to answer security questions, the birthday was changed. I am really miserable. Can anyone shed some light, please?

My gmail email is my apple ID. I found I lost access of gmail last night and I reset the password before bed. But this morning the password was changed again. My ipad also requested a password that didn't match to the one I used. I have reset my gmail once more. In addition, I added 2-step verification. But I have not received any new mail up to now. I tried to reset my apple ID. When I selected sending an email for resetting, the mail was sent but never reached my mailbox; When I selected answering security questions: the birthday was wrong. It's been changed. I am SO SO UPSET. Can any genius take pity on me and show me some guidance, please?

You should get Apple involved in sorting this out. Start at this site:

Your Apple ID can be handled through iTunes.

When trying to reset my login / password, text in red says not connected to internet please verify connection, when the macbook air IS connected to wifi.

cannot reset forgotten login password.

You don't need to be connected to the Internet to reset the password.
Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities window appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar at the top of the screen—not from any of the items in the OS X Utilities window.
In the window that opens, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected. You won't be able to do this if FileVault is active.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but the Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as the login password), there's no way to recover it.

Got "invalid number" when tried to verify my area code 437 number

I recently changed my phone number which used to have area code 416 but now has area code 437. Both are Toronto area codes. However when I tried to update my Skype To Go number to the new one, I got the following error message: "The phone number is invalid. Please check that you have entered it correctly. " I suspect it is probably bacause 437 is quite new and Skype does not yet recognize it. Can any one please let me know how could I verify this new number? Thanks in advance.

This problem now appears for me too.
When using iforgot.apple.com email-verification clicking the reset link results in the "Invalid Link" error.
The error, that caused me to do this (password failing to verify against iCloud) has vanished since though.
