Mailbox being disrupted by Apple Support Communities

I'm new to this. I signed up because I needed an answer to a simple question. I don't have time to dedicate my life to learning the nuances of this system. Since then my mailbox has been flooded with emails from Apple Support Communities. I have turned off all the Email Notification Preferences but still get hundreds of these emails having nothing to do with my question and it's making me angry and costing me money. I see no way to contact or call them or opt out from the program all together. I didn't expect this from Apple.
Can anyone help me.

I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?

Question:-
I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time or other portal and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?
Answer:-
For a Name to work in iChat it has to be an Valid AIM screen Name.
Only Apple IDs from the @mac.com ending names registered here and the Mobileme (@Me.com ending) names are Valid with the AIM service as well as being Apple IDs
(I am still working on info about registering with iCloud at the moment but if this does give you an @Me.com email it may well be a valid AIM name as well)
NOTES:-
The @mac.com page works by linking an external (Non Apple) email with a @mac.com name.
This External Email cannot be one linked to an Existing Apple ID (you have to use a second email or register at AIM )
The options at AIM are to use your existing email or create new name and link the existing only for Password recovery
MobileMe (@me.com ending names) were valid Emails addresses, Apple IDs AND a Valid AIM Screen Name
@mac.com names look like emails but are only Apple IDs and iChat/AIM Valid Screen Names.
The AIM registration page seems to be pushing you to register [email protected] This is relatively new and I have not followed through the pages to find out if it a valid AIM email (Previously you could register a name without an @whatever.com suffix)

Question:-
So I have my current [email protected] email in iChat as I thought as I had linked that to an Apple ID it was a Valid iChat Name. It keeps coming up with a UserName or Password Invalid message. What do I do next ?
Answer:-
Open iChat
Go to the Menu under the iChat name in the Menu Bar and then Preferences and then Accounts in the new window.
Commonly written as iChat > Preferences > Accounts as directions/actions to take.
If it displays with a Yellow running name in the list you have a choice.
Either register it at AIM (I would use a different password to the ISP Login) and then change the password only in iChat (It may take you to confirm any Confirmation email from AIM first) in iChat > Preferences > Accounts
Or you register a new Name at AIM (Or at @mac.com) and enter that (details below)
If you have a Blue Globe name (@mac.com) that will not Login the chances are that it the password that is the issue.
Apple lets you create longer passwords than can be used with the AIM Servers.
Change the Password at iForgot to no more than 16 characters.
Then change the password in iChat as details above.
Adding a new Account/Screen Name in iChat (that is valid with the AIM servers)
Open iChat if not launched.
Go to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
Click the Add ( + ) Button at the bottom of the list.
Choose in the top item drop down either @Mac.com or AIM depending on what you registered
Add the name (with @mac.com the software will add the @mac.com bit)
Add in the password. (If you don't add it now iChat will ask you each time you open it)
Click Done.
The Buddy List should open (New Window)
The Accounts part of the Preferences should now have the new name and you should be looking at the details.
You can add something in the Description line which will then title the Buddy List (Useful when you have two or more names) and make it show up as that in the iChat Menu > Accounts and the Window Menu of iChat when logged in.
You can then highlight any other Account/Screen Name you don't want to use and use the Minus ( - ) Button to delete it.

E-mails from Apple Support Communities

My mailbox gets completely stuffed with e-mails from Apple Support Communities. Therefore, I want to be removed from the mailing list, but I don not find anywhere the way to realize that. Anyone familiar with the solution of this problem?

Were you ever able to stop that flood Brouwerkj? If so please tell me how because my mailbox is flooded by hundreds of messages per hour even if I cancelled all notification on my profile.
Thanks

Stop Apple Support Communities mailing?

Hello.
I want to know how to stop receiving emails each time there is a new message in the thread I posted on. I've switched off all the notifications, and yet I still receive 20-30 messages each day, not being able to do anything about it (not even cancelling my Apple Support Communities account, which seems not possible).
Thank you very much.

How to unsubscribe from Apple Support Communities?

I can't take the volume of e-mails from Apple Support Communities. And the site is far too technical for me. What do I do to unsubscribe? Help!
Steve

Thank you for an accurate and mature answer rather than Tom Wolsky's less than helpful reply.
Here's a little hint 'Tom', linking the Search Page stopped being funny about eight years ago. If you're not going to bother to help, don't bother to post just because you want to get your count up.

Do all questions in the Apple Support Communities get answered?

I asked a question with high detail on Feb 1, 2014 at 7:16 PM. I have checked many times, and there are still no replies. I am curious as to whether questions eventually disappear or are deleted? The URL to my question is Here. Also, how long should it be until I recieve an answer? I am also curious as to whether my question is marked as answered; I replied to it with some extra information and I think that because it shows up with one reply that people may think that it has been answered. D: Any ideas?

Added a space between "people" and "may" as it appeared as "peoplemay".

Curious as to what you had asked, I clicked on 'here' but the original question did not appear; instead I found the edit request.
For anyone interested, I found it under your profile ... the link being ...
iPod Touch 5th Generation not showing...: Apple Support Communities
One other matter to consider is the subject itself. When you post in a popular column, that post will move down the list far more quickly than in a specialist area. Of course, the question needs to be posted where it will receive attention from the gurus.

How to I stop getting email from the Apple Support Communities?

How do I stop getting email from the Apple Support Communities? I am being innundated with hundreds of emails daily. Help~~

If you are getting them from a forum as a whole (as opposed to just individual threads), then towards the top right of that forum page make sure that it says 'receive email notifications' in the Actions box :
If it says 'stop email notifications' then click on it so as to stop them

The Apple Support Communities site is malfunctioning

I typed out a very long post about problems with a disk image. After clicking post, I got an error message saying that I do not have access to post this content. All the text I had entered was lost!
I was the one who posted the "emergency broadcast system" thing. About two minutes after posting, I got an email from Apple saying that you removed it. :-P I was just trying to see if the site would accept my post before I retyped my it. It's probably wise to type it into Pages first so I don't lose everything again. <sigh> Please try to resolve this ASAP.

you have basically answered your own issue - when creating a NEW Question - and in anticipation of it being long - do it external and paste it
The reason why you were stymied the first time is a known (by many here, but not by new folks) glitch - your session was Timed Out because of perceived inactivity. Oddly, a long REPLY session PREVENTS being logged out! So, external editor is NOT necessary for replies.
When you say "I got an email from Apple saying that you removed it" - you must understand that we are NOT Apple - just users helping users. Without seeing the post that was removed, I can't say what about violated the Apple Support Communities Terms of Use. ⬅ accessible at the bottom of all forum pages - sometimes our gracious Hosts are strict and others lax.
see you around

Login to Apple support communities

How come it's so hard to login into the Apple support communites? I get a notice of a reply to my post via email, I click on the link and it takes me to the topic Then I login and it reverts me to the main support community page and I have to go back to the email and click the link again to get back to the thread.
I inhabit multiple of other forums online and never have this problem. Don't you guys know how to set up a web page?

My apologies.
I somehow got the impression that you wanted to come here regularly to help people.
I've participated in about 6 discussions in the Apple community trying to solve multiple problems since upgrading to 10.7.3
I thought from there that your wanted a consistent method of logging in here to peruse other threads.
I can see that what I said was not in fact helpful to you.
That is two wrongs and as well all know two wrongs do not make a right.
As Niel implied, Apple has bought in to using Jive Software to run these Discussions. The issue being the numbers of daily attendees and the number of posts being made and then Jive being about the only suitable software.
Realistically it is what it is and those of us like myself and Niel have methods that works for use as we are "here" most days.

Apple Support Communities page not opening

My Apple > Support > Communities page is not opening in Safari.
When I try to connect to the site I get *"ERROR 404 - PAGE NOT FOUND"* by *Host Gator*.
I have tried these steps:
1) Removed Safari (Including Safari preferences files and Safari Folder in the Library folder)
2) Restarted my laptop.
3) And re-installed Safari.
But still i was unsuccessful in getting the page.
Finally I went to Firefox and wrote the message you are reading.
Please help me solve the problem
And also please tell me whether the design of a web page is different in two different browsers (Eg. Safari and Firefox) because I found so in the Apple > Support page.

The problem I am getting is that when I am clicking on the Communities link on
http://www.apple.com/support/ link the browser is connecting me to http://discussions.apple.com/ instead of http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa page
Why is it so?
Because discussions.apple.com is the actual web address; index.jspa is just the index page at that address, which should be added automatically. Are you saying it's not being added, and therefore you don't see the list of forums?

Can't sign into apple support communities with icloud apple id

i realise this isn't the right community for this question, but apple don't have a support category called "apple support".
i have that problem where I have an appleid called "frumbert", which I got about 10 years ago. it is and always has been tied to my gmail email address. i used this for about 5 years worth of itunes purchases, then forgot it for a couple of years.
when I got an ipad I also got an icloud account, and stupidly signed up using my gmail email address as my icloud username. it's tied to the same gmail email address as my existing "frumbert" account. i've since made all my itunes and app purchases using my icloud appleid, and it's the one associated with my mac warranties and such.
so two appleid's share the same email address.
i can't sign into apple support commuities with it because I need a new username. i can't create a new username because the email address is tied to an account already (this one, the old one, "frumbert"). An account utilizing this email address already exists. Only one account per email address is allowed on Apple Support Communities. Apple's way of saying you're c-ockblocked!
but I can't also change the "frumbert" account because there's another account with the same email address, my icloud one.
fark! how does one get out of this mess?

I'm having the exact same problem and so are a lot of other people. Apple's solution - shut up and create a new account just for the support community.
Smells outsourced to me!

How can I change my email address on Apple Support Communities?

Currently, I receive emails from Apple Support Communities on my Hotmail account, which is also my Apple ID.
I have now created a similar alias @icloud.com and I would like to send all the mail from Apple Support Communities to my new iCloud email.
I

I guess it would help. All I really need is for my all emails from Apple Support Communities to go to my account @icloud.com. But Apple ID does not allow to use emails created on Apple-owned domains. So I technically must have at least 2 email accounts, which isn't really convenient.

I signed up for Apple ID and Apple Support Communities separately. Can I merge the two accounts?

I signed up for an "Apple ID" and an "Apple Support Communities username" separately using the same e-mail address. Is there any way to merge the two accounts?
I signed up for "Apple Support Communities" several years ago to get help with Apple products. I then signed up for an "Apple ID" later on to buy stuff at the iTunes Store.
I was trying to access "Apple Support Communities" using my Apple ID and I get prompted to choose a username. But when I type my current username, it says the username is already taken. Alternatively, if I try to choose a new username to go along with my Apple ID, I get a message saying that there is a username already assigned to my e-mail address.
For some reason, "Apple Support Communities" is not intuitively syncing the two accounts together despite the fact that they are linked to the same e-mail address.
I don't want to cancel either of these accounts since I have activities using one/the other that I do want to preserve.
Can anyone help me merge these two accounts together?
Thanks.

I will do it for you. I can't say they will take any action, they operate in their own way, but if they feel there may be a threat to your security they will normally take it seriously. My guess is they would eMail their actions to you, though not to me of course.
I hope this will help.
Okay; I've now reported the thread.
