Is my recovery I'd the same as my alternate ID and if not how do I set up my recovery ID

Please help

If you mean for resetting security questions then no, they are different addresses/settings on your account.
If you don't have a rescue email address, or don't know what it is, then you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
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 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add/view/update a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • I thought that I was updating my phone...but it went into Recovery mode with the USB cord pointing to itunes and music notes in a circle. How can I get my Iphone 4 back to working without losing my data? I tried turning the phone off and it is uplugged.

    My iphone 4 is stuck on the lock screen with the USB cord pointing to itunes and music notes. I thought I was updating the phone for itunes but it is now teetering on the Recovery Mode. I do not want to lose my data, etc. Can someone explain how I can get my phone back? Apple support is not helpful.

    Your phone is in recovery mode.  All data on it are already lost.  You must connect your phone to your computer and restore through iTunes.

    VoiceOver is a great feature on the iPhones. I am sorry you are not able to turn it on. You have come to the right place. When you go into VoiceOver and you hit OK. Then double tap where it says on. This will turn this feature on. If you are wanting to remove the feature you would do the same thing but double tap on the OFF.

  • BC email and recovery email are the same

    Client has setup his email account in BC and unfortunately his recovery email is the same as the BC email.  He is locked out of his email because he changed the password and cannot remember it.  Going through the password recovery or reset module is futile as he now has no way to access it.  I have created a support ticket for this issue.  Any other suggestions out there other than to delete and recreate the email account?
    Thank you.

    I can't use web service, only off line connection.
    I resolved it loading data from string xml harcoding and using xfa.dataset instead xfa.record.
    Example : var dataToLoad = "This is the new string";
    xfa.datasets.data.loadXML(dataToLoad,0,1);
    and then the submited is : the xml formed and the field of the form.
    I took from an example called : DataSaveXML.pdf
    I don't understand this : "These bindings are what is used to format the output when data is merged or saved in/out of the form"
    Why nobody else ask for something like that?is it an uncommon way to work?

  • I can't Start, Uninstall or Install new iTunes. I'm getting the same error message: Window Installer Service could not be accessed.  No other programs have similar problem. Any suggestion what can be done?

    I can't Start, Uninstall of Install new iTunes. I'm getting the same error message: "Window Installer Service could not be accessed". No other programs having similar problem. Any suggestions how to fix it?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Files that used to be visible are now hidden in Mavericks. How can I change the setting to view the same files as before? I do not need the hidden files that are typically invisible.

    Files that used to be visible are now hidden in Mavericks 10.9.1. How can I change the setting to view the same files as before? I do not need the hidden files that are typically invisible.
    I am having trouble locating such files as PDF's INDD, AI etc. When I view all hidden files and try to open it in the program..it looks like it is really not on the drive. Has anyone come across a solution?

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • How do I use the same apple id for 2 iPads, but not share email, phone #, etc.?

    I have had 2 iPads for a couple years, both using the same apple id. One is used primarily by my husband. Today I got notifications that my husband's ipad is now using all the same email addresses and phone number associated with mine. How do I change this?

    You can set the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Stores, but have different Apple ID's for Messages, iCloud and Facetime.
    Settings->iCloud->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Settings->Facetime->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Just go into Settings, and make sure the Apple ID set for those services is different for both iPads.

  • HT5731 How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    What country are you in ? Depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to redownload them on your Mac's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the iTunes store homepage
    If you're not in a country where TV programmes can be redownloaded then connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and use the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over from your iPad

  • I prepare chronologies in word, and i am trying to do the same in pages using tables and cells. But somtimes i need a cell to wrap onto the next page but I can't work out how to do it - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    I prepare chronologies in word, and I am trying to do the same in pages using tables and cells. But sometimes I need a cell to wrap onto the next page because the contents are bigger than the page or the space left on the page,  but I can't work out how to do it - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    What are the different opinions on why pages should not achieve this?
    As far as I know, Apple is free to choose to offer this or that feature.
    They never said that they want to clone Word or even compete with it.
    Differences between tables in both worlds are numerous.
    In Pages (or Numbers)
    - we can't sort a single column
    - we can't sort by row
    - we can't insert or remove a single cell
    - a cell can't cross pages boundaries
    If I understand well these design choices match :

    Apple Human Interface Guidelines:
    Apply the 80 Percent Solution
    During the design process, if you discover problems with your product design, you might consider applying the 80 percent solution‚ that is, designing your software to meet the needs of at least 80 percent of your users. This type of design typically favors simpler, more elegant approaches to problems.
    If you try to design for the 20 percent of your target audience who are power users, your design may not be usable by the other 80 percent of users. Even though that smaller group of power users is likely to have good ideas for features, the majority of your user base may not think in the same way. Involving a broad range of users in your design process can help you find the 80 percent solution.

  • I have an Apple ID with a single  e mail address. I want to set multiple addresses in the same ID. Can I? If so how?

    I have an Apple ID with a single  e mail address. I want to set multiple addresses in the same ID. Can I? If so how?

    Howdy there johnzcarp,
    As I understand it you want to have more than 1 email address under your Apple ID. You can have what are called Alternate Email addresses associated with your Apple ID and this article will help you get those setup:
    Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
    Alternate email address
    You can add one or more alternate email addresses for use with Apple services such as Game Center, FaceTime, Find My Friends, iMessage, and OS X notifications.
    Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
    Select “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
    Add an alternate address:
    Select Add Email Address, then enter your alternate address. Apple will send a verification email to that address. Didn't receive the email?
    Follow the instructions in the email to verify the address.
    Edit an alternate address:
    Select Edit next to the address, then enter the new address. Apple will send a verification email to that address. Didn't receive the email?
    Follow the instructions in the email to verify the address.
    Delete an alternate address: Select Delete next to the address.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • HT4314 I have a iPad and iPhone with the same Apple ID, but on Game Center I have used the same id for both devices and they are two different profiles and I was wondering how to have one of the accounts on both devices.

    Hi Jamesdwills,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
    Check out this information from the iPad User Guide.  Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

    Game Center settings - iPad User Guide

    Game Center settings
    Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
    Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
    Allow invites
    Let nearby players find you
    Edit your Game Center profile (tap your nickname)
    Get friend recommendations from Contacts or Facebook
    Specify which notifications you want for Game Center. Go to Settings > Notifications > Game Center. If Game Center doesn’t appear, turn on Notifications.
    Change restrictions for Game Center. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.
