My 5-minute-old AppleId account was disabled immediately for security reasons. I have followed instructions carefully and although I seem to be able to change my password, I cannot login using the new password bcs account disabled for security reasons!

It is probably something to do with the fact that I am in the Philippines, but what am I supposed to do? According to the support options I have to pay to open a support ticket. My account was not verified when it was disabled and I think I might be in some sort of deadlock in which the password reset won't work because I'm not verified, and the verification won't work because I can't log in.
I've never bought a single Apple product before and this has got to be the worst intro I could have imagined!

Solved.
After about an hour on the phone with US support (who were very helpful I must say) it turns out that if you do not have an iTunes account with credit card information and a billing address, you are very much more likely to get your AppleId account disabled "for security reasons". This begs the question of course as to whose security we are talking about here! But there you go. If you are an Apple first-timer, get an iTunes account, fill in all your details, and you should be alright.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

    Yesterday I changed my email password on my home computer.  Today, I can't get any new emails on my Samsung Galaxy 4; I deleted the email account entirely and tried to set it up again as a new account, using the new password, but it keeps giving me an error message that reads: Cannot safely connect to server.  The new password is working on my home computer.  I even tried the old password; it just gave me the same error message.

    I'm sorry you're having issues with your e-mail account on your phone Rusty1112. Let's figure out what's going on. First, please try deleting account/information again and then restart phone. When phone is back on, try adding e-mail account again, and be sure you're entering exactly as you set up, meaning its case-sensitive. If you're still getting same error, please let us know and let us know what e-mail account it is, Yahoo, AOL, MSN, etc.

  • I recently changed my password and firefox 5.0 is not remembering it. how can i get it to remeber the new password and not the old one?

    I had set firefox to remember my old password. at the point of changing to the new password, I was prompted whether to store the new password, which I did, however when I log in, it still remembers the number of characters in the old password.

    Did you check the password in the Password Manager ?

  • HT4864 I'm confused with the syncing of email with Icloud.  Do I need to use the new Icloud email account instead of my existing outlook accounts?

    I set up Icloud and an icloud email account in outlook 2010.  The calendar dates transferred to my Iphone but nothing of the emails.  The only email that go to my iphone are those that go to the new Iphone email account in outlook.  Do I have to use the Icloud email account instead of my existing outlook accounts in order for my email to sync?  If not what can I do to get my outlook email to sync with my iphone? Thanks.

    iCloud only "syncs" data in the iCloud account, not data in other external accounts such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc.  If your email, contacts and calendars are hosted by another external account, such as Gmail/Google, you may want to not sync this data using iCloud as you would have import it all to the iCloud account in order to do so.  Instead, add your external account to your iOS devices and in Settings>Mail,Conacts,Calendars>Add Account and turn on contacts and calendar syncing with your external account.

  • Use the new CE 7.1 NWDS for developing 7.0 Portal Applications

    Hi all,
    We currently evaluate which would be the best development studio for our development. Of course I know the SAP Guideline "use the same NWDS as your support package stack". This would mean we have to use NW 7.0 SPS 16. But we realized there is a new Eclipse Version within CE 7.1 NWDS.
    So the question is, could we also use the new NWDS, is it compatible with 7.0 or did anybody try something in the way we want to do?
    Thanks for your help,
    Stefan

    Hi Stefan,
    You might want to consider using the "federated portal network" (FPN) capabilities of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 and CE7.1.
    FPN in this case allows you can utilize the full composition capabilities of NWCE7.1 to develop applications and then render them in a central 7.0 runtime environment (portal). This is loosely called the "side-car approach".

  • HT4623 IOS 6 updates are installed. Phone will not recognize my old password, nor will it accept the new password. New password was said to be updated. what to do?

    Need help to have Iphone recognize my new password.  I have just changed it and it was accepted via the computer but the phone continues to say password is not valid.

    If Settings>iCloud is showing your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Why can't I log in immediately after resetting my password? (using the new password)

    Hi,
    I can't find the proper forum for this so I'm posting it here.
    It is a problem with logging in to this very support board.
    It's not your basic "I lost my password" problem.
    I have an Apple ID. I try to log in and it says "wrong username or password" (even though the same username-password combination will log me in to iTunes).
    So I go through the process of restting my password, aswering security questions, which I do successfully and I reset my password. Then I go to log-in to the support boards, with my new just-changed password, and it comes up with the same response "wrong username or password".
    Over and over again. So in order to even seek any assistance, I need to make a whole new profile just to ask the question on this support board.
    I thought that apple ids and their passwords worked across all apple programs. As I said, the Apple ID/password combination that I use for iTunes will be rejected on the support boards, and even the ID/password combination that I've just reset will not allow me access to the support boards.
    Any help please?
    Thanks,
    Phelps

  • Use the new iMac as a display for Mac Pro

    The goal is a simple one; use the newest model iMac 27inch as a display for the newest model Mac Pro (desktop tower). The latest Mac Pro has DVI and DisplayPort out and the iMac obviously has thunderbolt, usb, and firewire. I've discovered that there isn't really a way to get thunderbolt on the Mac Pro unless someone knows something I don't. If it's the case that thunderbolt can't be added to the current Mac Pro (be it by a new video card, or otherwise), I'm wondering if I could use a DVI to USB adapter to display it on the iMac.
    I guess the takeaway here is that I don't need a virtual solution. Primarily, I use screen sharing via gigabit ethernet to access it. However, when you need a physical hardware monitor (let's say when you restart your machine or need to boot outside of OS X), you can't use the virtual options. I need to be able to use it independantly, like a traditional monitor setup. Any thoughts?

    No that will not work. The iMac will not accept video in on using USB, or anything except Thunderbolt.
    Best of luck.

    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPad and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • I have OSX 10.5.7 on my Intel Mac. When I try to login using the correct password the screen goes white and just returns back to the login screen. It does not jiggle like when you enter the wrong password.

    I have had a number of issues with my Intel Mac recently and had to reboot using disk utilities, safe mode, OSX recovery, but always come back to the login screen but when I type my password the screen goes white and returns to the login screen. My password is correct and the login does not jiggle as it would if the password was wrong. Please advise,

    Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. There are ways to back up, even if you can’t log in. Before proceeding,you must be sure you can restore everything to the state it’s in now. If you’re not sure you can do that, STOP.
    The procedure below may spare you the need for a clean reinstallation of OS X. If you don't feel comfortable carrying it out, don't. try.
    Briefly, you need to delete the following file:
    /var/audit/current
    If you already know how to do that, you can skip the rest of this message. Do it, and try again to log in.
    Boot in single-user mode by holding down the key combination command-S at the startup chime. If you’re using an external USB keyboard, it must be plugged directly into a built-in port on the Mac, not into a hub. Release the keys when you see a black screen with scrolling white text. In this mode, there’s no graphical interface; just a command line. Initially, you can’t make any changes to files.
    When the text stops scrolling, and you see a line ending in a pound sign (“#”), type the following command:
    mount -uw /
    You must type the command exactly as given, with no mistakes. If you don’t feel able to do that, STOP. At this stage, no harm will be done if you make a mistake, but later, it will be. Press the return key.
    Next, type the following command:
    rm -i /var/audit/current
    Press return. You should get the following output:
    remove /var/audit/current?
    If that's not what you get, STOP. Type the single letter N, press return, and try again. Otherwise, type the single letter Y and pressreturn.
    Finally, enter the command:
    exit
    Press return. The text will start scrolling again, and then the system will reboot. Try again to log in.

  • I have updated to Fire Fox 4. My windstream provider has recently updated to a new view, which I prefer. I cannot login to the new view since the update. I get a message that says the browser I am using is only supported by the classic view.

    Thank you

    Thank you for you input so far.....
    I think we are getting nearer to the solution sort of!
    Let me get this straight...... I have paid for content on itunes, bought the apple devicds in order to play said content, now I have to subscribe $25 for the privilage of playing MY library content on MY other devices. Which wasn't such an issue to do before the new and improved itunes version!!
    Have I got that correct.  I think I cannot associate my other iOS devices with my library because I am unwilling to pay further through the nose!!!???  or am I missing something?
    Thanks
    Frustrated even more now!!
