Lost password for Apple ID and the email on record is no longer valid

Hi,
I have to apple accounts, one for Mexico, where I live, and one for the US Store, where I made some purchases.
I just bought a new computer and would like to transfer all of my iTunes related files to the new computer. However, I do not remember my password for the US store. Since I created it several years ago, the email that I submitted when I created the account is no longer valid. So, it is no use to send me an email to that address to reset the password of my US account because that email address does not work any longer.
I have tried answering the security sessions instead, but even though I am positive that I am submitting the correct answers, I get a message claiming that my answers do not match the ones Apple has on record. So....
What can I do to retrieve my password and have access to the files that were purchased in the US store?
Thanks in advance for any help on this issue.

Hi Larry,
Thanks for your reply. I tried following that link, but I didn't get anywhere. It gave me the same two options to reset my password:
a) Email a link to an account that no longer exists
b) Security questions, which for some reason did not work.
So I am basically stuck in the same place: I cannot access my US iTunes account.

  • I reset my mums ipad and its linked to an apple id and the email adress to it no longer exist's

    i have reset my mums iPad and its linked to an apple Id and the email that she used she doesn't have no more

    Assuming that you are on the activation screen and can't remember the account's password, then have you tried getting the password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (do you or your mother remember the answers to the account's security questions) ?
    If you can't get the password reset via that page then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset the password.

  • TS3276 each day i must enter my password for apple mail,however the email works ok on firefox

    each day i must enter my password and reenter my email accout, mail works ok all day next day same thing. same email account works ok on my firefox help!

    If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
    Step 1
    When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
    Step 2
    Check that the keychain is working.
    Step 3
    Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

    I am not getting mail on my iphone or my ipad air!
    When I put the password for my apple ID into icloud- it keeps reverting to another password. i.e. doesn't hold the apple ID password.

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple. I don't know where you originally posted this question, but it's only just appeared in the Using iPad forum.
    If you can't remember your password then you can reset it via http://iforgot.apple.com
    If you can't get it reset via that site then you will have to contact Support in your country, they should be able to reset it for you (they can also reset your security questions if you've forgotten their answers).

  • HT1911 I changed my apple ID on my Ipad but the App Store window still shows my old ID when I elect to update my apps.  Unfortunately, I forgot my password and the email I used is no longer active.  How do I get the App store to recognize my new ID?

    I do not want to delete and reinstall all of the apps.  How do I get the Apple App store to recognize my new Apple ID and apply it to all of my installed apps?

    So I  am using an iPhone that was given to me and it has been restored to  factory defaults... However when I go to the AppStore I can still see  what the previous owner had downloaded and when I try to download that  app it gives me the message the OP had.

  • I cannot send email - error message as follows : 'The sender address (my email address) was rejected by the server smtp.tiscali.co.uk.' I can send email from other apple devices, and the email settings are identical. Any ideas?

    For some reason I cannot send email - all was working fine, but now I get the following error message when I try to send email:

  • Change password for Apple ID and iCloud is inaccessable

    I changed the password for my Apple ID and now cannot logon to iCloud via the browser. I can logon to iTunes and appleid.apple.com but not iCloud. Phone is also affected for iMessage, iCloud, and iTunes.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

  • I can search for an email titile in search bar for my inbox and the email comes up, yet when I try to scroll thru my inbox i cant find it, and I know I just received it. My issue is if I didnt remember the heading I would never find this mail.

    I received an email from a business called pops champagne 12/19/2012, and today is 12/20/2012. Today I was looking for it in my inbox and I could not find it.
    I could scroll thru and find emails that came in right before and after, but pops is not in my inbox by scrollling. So, I decided to list the title in my inbox search
    and it appeared. The problem I have with this is if I did not remember the name of this company I would have no idea how to find this mail. Any help?
