Is there another way into an iTunes account? Besides email verification and security questions? I'm not trying to hack I have rather extrodinary circumstances!

Alright so I had an iTunes account that as you'd expect was linked to my email. Long story short my email got hacked and hotmail shut it down because my email address which I could no longer get into was sending spam to all my contacts. Anyway I used to keep a lot of the same passwords for different things and I realised that I had the same password for my email as I did for my hotmail so I decided to change both the password and the email of my iTunes account but then I encountered some difficulties. I had to either answer the security questions or verify my email. I'd long since forgotten what I'd put for the answers of the security questions so now I was stuck. So I called apple and the guy helped me 'sort it out'.
I got my new account with its new email and new password and new email. But here's the thing now I can't get any of my old purchases. I've basically lost everything! So I need to get back into the old account and I've managed to get my broken old email restored so it should work now. But it doesn't the verification email doesn't come through! I need to get back on my old account. Someone please help!

You can't get any of your purchases because you created a new Apple ID, you didn't change the email on your old one. App and other content is forever tied to the Apple ID used to purchase it. There is no way to transfer them and no way to merge Apple IDs.
You need to call Apple back, explain the situation and tell them you need to change the email on your old Apple ID - NOT create a new one.

    You've tried closing and re-opening iTunes and/or rebooted your computer and you have the latest version of iTunes installed ?
    If you have then you could try contacting iTunes Support and ask them to remove the pre-order from your account : 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

  • Is there a way to create itunes account with no billing infomation?

    i just purchased the latest ipod touch and i plugged it into itunes for the first time and it asked me to create a new account before continuing apoon making my account. i got to the billing section and it asks me to fill it in with a credit card, i do not have a credit card and do not wish to do this. what do i do? is there any way of making an account without billing information?

    Please don't use big red text. There's no need to do so - it won't be more attention and in fact may put people off of helping - and it's really difficult to read.
    Adding to what JG said, you can also purchase a prepaid iTunes card, available from most grocery store and discount chains in the US and other countries, and use that. You will need to enter in your address information, but you won't need a credit card.
    Regards.

  • Is there a way to prevent iTunes from deleting TV shows and leaving them in the cloud.

    I understand the benefits of the cloud. I'm fully on board. I however have to travel often for work and I am often far away from the luxury of wifi. I understand why it does what it does (removing tv shows and movies I haven't seen a while). Is there a way to turn it off though?
    Thank you so much!

    Unless there is a new feature I'm not aware of iTunes does not arbitrarily delete any content from your computer without your explicit action.

  • I try to log into my itunes account on my laptop and it says cannot connect to itunes store, however it does on my iphone just fine

    i have made a seperate itunes account and it logs in as well. so i am not sure what is going on. i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, i have turned off my computer and back on. i have ran it as a administrator. i am running windows 8 on a toshiba satellite.

    What troubleshooting techniques have you tried? Have you restarted the app? Have you restarted your computer?
    One idea is to Trash this file; Mac HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist and restart.

  • Authorisation of an old account on a new mac, Password not working, no longer have access to that email address, and security question not working. But I do have my mac authorised! ...is there anyway to copy or get authorisation info off it???

    Please help me!!!!
    I have got a new Mac, I am trying to share my itues on it as well as my old mac, I have had two itunes accounts in my life, one is current now (this account) one I have not had access to the email for years. Since I have bought music off both accounts, I wish to play it all on  both my macs. My Old mac has both accounts Authorised fine and all is good.
    My new Mac, I have thios account running fine, but keep getting prompted for the password for my old account, I have no idea what my old password is, I have not had access to that email address for 5 years, and for some strange reason the security question isn't working eaither.
    Since I do still have one Mac where it is Authorised, Is there any file I can copy accross or anyway to get the password out of the OSX 10.6.8 for my old account.
    Secondly, is there anyway to roll both accounts into just my current one.
    Many Thanks in advance for your help.
    Steve

    I too am having this same problem but I have not seen ANY solutions for it. Looks like Apple is ignoring it!!!!!!!!?

  • Is there a way of storing files on both iCloud Drive and my Time Capsule, but not my built in Hard Drive?

    I have a Mac Book Pro. I work with large video files, which I sometimes want to save on a Time Capsule - or another external hard drive, as well as the cloud.
    I sometime want to access the videos when I travel - and really want a no-nonsense solution which allows me to store the videos on the external HD, but access them through the cloud when traveling - even when the power is down and my external HD at home is switched off (I live in The Bahamas, where this frequently happens.)
    Any Suggestions?

    You didn't have a backup of your MacBook's hard drive when it had to be replaced?  If you do look in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to see if the Doman.sites2 file is there.  If it is drag it to the same folder on your new hard drive and open with iWeb.  That should give you your old sites back.
    If you don't have a backup then you'll have to do what QTKirt pointed out.  However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the creation of the new site.

  • Adobe flash player continually slows down the loading of pages on firefox. Is there a way to toggle the Flash plud in on and off instead of it always trying to load?

    slows down or stops browser. what to be able to turn it off and on
    and not have it always on when browsing, only when needed.

    Yep, you turn of Flash in a better way. Install FlashBlock, an extension from here-
    (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashblock/)
    This would block Firefox from automatically downloading Flash content. If you wish to view the video, simply click on the Placeholder for that video. Simple!!!

  • I do not accept the permissions. Is there another way?

    I am one of those people who will not allow intrusions into personal information (will not accept permissions). Is there another way to download Firefox for Android other than through Google Play?

    Please note that that file does not have an updater. We generally point users to the Aurora build of Firefox for Android as it has a self updater. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/aurora/
