IPad is associated to invalid e-mail address

Hello! A customer of mine was given an iPad and it was registered with an e-mail address that no longer exists. She wants to reset the device to it's original state with her information but the e-mail ID is "stuck".  I created a new account for her but there is no way for the device to associate her NEW info with the old e-mail. Nobody has the original password needed to reset the device and the e-mail associated with the password no longer exists.  Pretty much a catch 22!!!!
Is the ANYWAY to nuke the device without the original password???  This thing is junk without being able to factory reset.
Thank you!!! 

Only the owner of an iTunes account can remove a device that it's tied, creating a new account won't help.
The person who gave the iPad to her, has he/she tried getting the password for the account reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (does he/she know the answers to their security questions ?) ? If they can't then they will have to contact Support in their country and see if they can reset the account's password for them (the owner of that iTunes account will have to do it as the need to prove their id and that it's their account).

    I want to sync my I phone user name (my current e-mail address) with my iPad, PC user name (old e-mail address.) If I delete that current address in the iPhone, won't I also be deleting it in my other devices? They are synced. I don't want to lose it. I just want to get it out of the way on my iphone so it doesn't confuse the transfer of ID names and then I want it back again..      I tried deleting the cloud account, being told the current e-mails would be spared. But all it did was pop up a prompt asking me for the password to my still current email ID. So I assume now that I have to go to mail and get rid of the e-mail account. But I'm scared I'll lose everything in my other devices too.

    You can change the email address you use as your apple ID. this doesn't mean you have to delete the old email address as email.
    When you delete an email from your device, it is only removed from the device, it does not delete your emails or the email account.

    I own three Apple devices, but my iPad remained associated with my old email address and password. How can I register it with the same new email and password?

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

  • I set up an apple ID with an invalid e-mail address, how can I change it because I can't retrieve the e-mail to complete the account process

    I set up an Apple ID with an invalid e-mail address, how can I change the e-mail address without completing the process of creating the ID cause I can't retrieve the e-mail to complete the process.

    Try changing the email address using https://appleid.apple.com/
    If you can't change it with that site, you'll have to create a new account.

  • B1iSN 9.0 Error E-mail - Invalide E-Mail Address

    Hello together,
    If I insert an E-Mail Addess with a hyphen ( - ) i get the message: "Invalide Receiver E-Mail Adress"
    A address without a hyphen is possible.
    Is there a solution to add more than one Mail Addresses or a Mail Address with an hyphen?
    Regards
    Sabine

    Hello Sabine,
    your issue with the hyphen ("-") this is a bug in B1if, we will correct it with the next patch.
    To enter more than one E-Mail address in B1i for Sender/Receiver field e.g. separated with a delimiter is not possible at the moment.
    Please use a E-Mail distribution list as workaround.
    Best regards
    Bastian

  • Using 31.1.0 on Mac & sending to distribution list, server responds 'NW-members "neighborhhod watch" invalid e-mail address because not of form user@host.'

    I upgraded to Thunderbird 31.1.0 yesterday. I have not modified the distribution list in the last few weeks. This is the first time I have used the distribution list since the upgrade. I have never received an error message from the mail server objecting to my distribution list. The distribution list has thirty three (33) addresses. The last time I sent email using the distribution list was 8/28/14. Text of 'Invalid Recipient Address' alert box is "NW-members <"neighborhhod watch"> is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail."

    I am glad to hear that your problem has been resolved. I noticed you chose your own answer as the solution, can you select the answer that solved the problem. This will help other users with similar problems find the solution more easily.
    I also have new information about this.
    It looks like it's [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1060901 this bug]. If you have an account on Bugzilla, it would help to vote for that issue.
    It seems lists with a description that includes several words have this problem. The bug report suggests replacing the blanks " " between the words in such lists' descriptions with an underscore "_".
    If you don't want to change your descriptions, [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1018299#answer-623437 the other workaround provided] still works.

  • Calendar Entries change to Device Default rather than associated e-mail address when upgraded

    Hi,
    I upgraded my Curve 8330 software to the latest. Once this was done, I noticed my calendar entries are now showing Device Default in the Send To field.  When I try to sync with my Outlook Calendar (2007), it won't sync these particular entries.  In actual fact, the same entries that are in my calendar (that were sync'd prior to upgrade) contain many of the entries that were associated with the e-mail address.  So, I got duplicate entries on my device.
    I tried going the route of doing a 1 way sync from my device to Outlook, but it, it wasn't recognizing the Device Default entries.  And I can't go the route of a 1 way sync from Outlook to my Device since I have since made many changes on my device.
    What can I do to get the Device Default calendar entries to sync (even 1 way sync) to my Outlook calendar?  I have hundreds of entries and I don't want to have to redo all of this each time I upgrade.  (Not even sure why my calendar entries flipped like this on my Curve to give me this problem in the first place).

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    1. Take a look at options-advanced options-default services.  The CICAL (calendar) and CMIME (messaging) should the email address originally associated with your BB.
    2. Entries in the device default will not sync with Outlook.
    3. Read this KB article paying particular attention to Cause 3.  http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB16063&sliceId=SAL_Pub...

  • Account problems - User ID and e-mail addresses

    I created a user ID about eight years ago when I had a .mac account and my ID was my e-mail address, i.e. [email protected]
    After a year, I decided that I no longer wanted to use .mac and didn't renew my subscription. I seem to remember that I had to continue using the .mac user ID even though it was no longer a valid e-mail address. I added my new e-mail address and all communication is sent to that.
    So, I have put up with this odd situation - using an old invalid e-mail address as my user ID and logging in, making purchases with nothing more than a minor inconvenience, until now.
    I installed the Messages Beta anticipating the ability to merge/sync messages with my iPhone but was frustrated that it didn't work. I discovered that the problem is related to the caller ID e-mail addresses being the same and there lay the problem - I can't use the invalid user ID on my Mac that my iPhone uses.
    I have looked into my account settings and I can see that I can add and edit all my e-mail addresses but my user ID is fixed. But worse than that, I am getting a warning that my user ID and e-mail default e-mail address should be the same.
    Has anybody any idea how I can sort this out? Or if there is any way to restore my .mac e-mail account?

    No. The login ID is nothing more than an text string and it does not function as an actual email address. If you wish to change the email address associated with your Apple ID use this page: <http://store.apple.com/us/account/home>.
    The text string you use to log in will remain the Yahoo "email address" but all email communications will be sent to the address specified in your account.

  • Embedded Space in E-mail Address

    Our shop sometimes embeds a space in the names for their e-mail addresses (e.g., ABC [email protected]). When adding another row to the Oracle 9i Enterprise Manager Grid Control General Preferences screen, this example e-mail address splits into two invalid e-mail addresses, ABC and [email protected], when applied to this screen. I have tried single and double quotes around the name with the embedded space and around the entire e-mail address with the same result. How can e-mail addresses with an embedded space in the name be entered into this screen?

    According to RFC 5322 section 3.4.1 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.4.1) whitespace is allowed in a quoted string. Thus if the email address "ABC DEF"@xyz.org is not accepted as email address in GC please raise an SR with Oracle Support.
    Kind regards,
    Frank

  • I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

    I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

    Thanks - I guess it is like there were two of me!
    I bought the iPhone first and it seemed natural to link it to the (work) e-mail address which was in constant use. The iMac for home use came next and it seemed natural to use my home e-mail address, particularly as I knew by then that I would lose the work address after my imminent retirement. The same logic went for the recent puchase of the MacAir. I am not sure what happened with the iPad (also a recent purchase) - iTunes seemed to puch me towards the same ID as the iPhone.
    It is not a huge problem - just makes my persona look schizoid! Otherwise very happy with everything Apple.

  • For FaceTime, can you add an additional e-mail that is not your Apple ID e-mail?  Everytime I try to do this on my iPad it sends me a verification e-mail saying I am trying to change the e-mail address associated with my apple ID and wants me to verify.

    I am trying to add another e-mail address to FaceTime, but do not want to change the e-mail address associated with my Apple ID.  Everytime I try to add the e-mail address in my FaceTime settings, it send me a verification e-mail asking me to verify that I want to change to this new e-mail address for my apple ID.  I do not.  I just want to have an additional e-mail address for people to contact me via FaceTime. Does anyone know how to do this?
