If you cannot remember the email address you used as your apple ID, try iforgot.apple.com.
Once you know your apple ID, you can try to reset your password.

  • HT4623 I just got IOS 8 and I cant use my iPod touch 5

    My iPod touch 5 isnt working I got the update and now I cant swipe to setup.

    If not successful then try the remaining items of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, burgerflickle23
    Have you tried restarting your Mac?
    If so, and if you are sure you do not have any applications or widgets that can use your iSight running (it is easy to forget widgets like Mirror in your Dashboard), you should next try every suggestion re: Built-in iSight in How to Troubleshoot iSight. Be sure to include the checks for whether the problem is "application-specific" and "user-specific".
    If resetting or the other suggestions do correct your problem, you can try the following:- Backup your Home Folder, or at very least, your important files.
    - Repair permissions.
    - Then download and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update (iNtel).
    - Finish with another Permissions Repair, and then check your iSight again.Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates.
    A few iNtel Mac laptop users have also reported success after unplugging their Macs and leaving the battery out for half-an-hour to overnight.
    If none of these suggestions help, I suggest that you take your iMac to your Apple-Authorized Service Provider for a professional check.

  • Just got ios7 on iPhone but calendar doesn't list events like in ios6. You need to tap the date to see what is listed on the calendar . Can that be changed ?

    Don't like calendar set up with IOS7. Can't see list of actual events on calendar as was the case with IOS6. If you have a dental appointment in October but can't remember the day ,you need to tap each day to see what us on whereas before you could just scroll down the dates showing a list what is on. Wish that could be organized as before. Is there a way to set it up as in ios6? Otherwise ios7 looks great .

    Im not going to be much help because I don't know of anything else to besides take it somewhere that fixes electronics and see if they can get it off some how maybe if you take it to an apple store they can do something to get your information.

  • Just got iphone 5s today but fingerprint wont complete just keeps saying try again. Has anyone else had this trouble?

    Just got iphone 5s today but fingerprint wont complete just keeps saying try again - has anyone else had this problem?

    Hey Lewis1306,
    Thanks for the question, and congrats on the new iPhone 5s!
    I understand you are experiencing issues with Touch ID. The following article provides some troubleshooting steps that may be helpful:
    iPhone 5s: Using Touch ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5883
    Resolving issues with Touch ID
    1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iOS.
    2. Ensure that your fingers and the Home button are clean and dry.*
    Note: Cover the Home button completely. Don't tap too quickly, don't press down hard, and don't move your finger while Touch ID is scanning. Make sure that your finger touches the metal ring around the Home button.
    3. If you are using a protective case or screen protector, it must leave the Home button and the surrounding ring completely unobscured. If it doesn't, remove the case or screen protector and try again.
    4. Tap Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Touch ID and verify that:
              - iPhone Unlock or iTunes & App Store is enabled.
              - One or more fingerprints have been enrolled.
    5. If one finger isn't working, tap Edit in Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Touch ID > Edit to delete and then reenroll the finger.
    6. If that finger still isn't working, try enrolling a different finger.
    7. If you are unable to enroll any of your fingers, take your iPhone 5s to an Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact AppleCare for further assistance.
    * Moisture, lotions, sweat, oils, cuts, or dry skin may affect fingerprint recognition. Certain activities can also temporarily affect fingerprint recognition, including exercising, showering, swimming, cooking, or other conditions or changes that affect your fingerprint.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Do I need to assign a name to both my iphones? I just got an iPhone 5, BUT I still use my iPhone 3GS as a camera

    Do I need assign a name to both my iphones? I just got an iPhone 5, BUT I still use my iPhone 3GS as a camera & iPod, and will need to back it up and sync it occassionally, I have NOT named either phone yet, they are recognized only as "owner's iphone".
    NOTE: I HAVE A P.C.
    Is there any danger of not naming them, and itunes confusing them, and gathering wrong backup info, etc.
    ALSO....Does turning the volume all the way down silence all phone sounds? In other words before I sleep, do I need to click that little switch on the left side of the phone to achieve complete silence, if so, is there an INTERNAL way to do this so I don't have to push my finger in there through my otter box case to turn it off.?
    I have AT&T on my iPhone 5, and I was wondering if there was a way to save my voicemails permanently somewhere, because they get erased by AT&T every 14 days.
    ALSO.....How do I manage my 20,000 photos, in "my pictures" in my PC, shall I have one folder which has ALL of photos ALL OF THEM.........In sequence and then create dozens of other folders by event, catagory, etc. I get SO CONFUSED on what to do with my photos, what is THE BEST WAY to keep them organized.
    Thank You Very Much,

  • I just got new iphone 4 but it tells me to restore the phone wen i plug in my computer.. then half way thru the restoring on the "firmwear" part it stops an says error "9?? wats the go there?? its driving me insane...

    i just got new iphone 4 but it tells me to restore the phone wen i plug in my computer.. then half way thru the restoring on the "firmwear" part it stops an says error "9?? wats the go there?? its driving me insane...

    Let's first define what "new" means. Was it purchased from Apple or your authorized carrier, and it came in a shrink wrapped box? Or is it only new to you, and you don't know its history?
    Assuming it truly is a new, never used phone, Error 9 means that the USB connection to the phone is intermittent. Do the following:
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (10.4) - if not, download and install it from htp://www.apple.com/itunes
    Reboot your computer
    Disable your antivirus and firewall software
    Disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse
    Connect the cable to a USB port directly on your computer, not to a hub; do not connect the other end to the phone yet (If your computer is a desktop or tower and has ports on both front and back us a port on the back)
    Launch iTunes
    Connect the phone to the other end of the cable
    If the phone is recognized in iTunes proceed with the Restore
    If the phone is NOT recognized by iTunes:
    Disconnect the cable from the phone (leave connected to the computer)
    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen goes blank, then IMMEDIATELY release the SLEEP button but continue holding the HOME button
    Connect the cable to the phone while holding the HOME button
    Wait for iTunes to recognize the phone, then release the HOME button (this may take several minutes of holding)
    If you still have a problem after these steps take the phone to Apple for exchange.
