My Apple ID locked while I was about to buy An album I forgot my security passwords

Help ?

If you've disabled your account then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out and back into your account on any iOS devices that you have so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
For your securirty questions, if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps half-way down this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (you can also try this link if you can't get the account enabled via the above)
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

    I downloaded a game from apple store and while I was playing the mac blocked... what can I do?
    Nothing that I push doesn;t make anything!

    By blocked, do you mean froze, or locked up?
    Press and hold the power button until the Mac turns off. Turn it back on.

  • My 4s crashed and Apple replaced it while I was out of town. I used it for a week without downloading my old information. When I backed up my old information it erased all my new information from a weeks work. Is there a way to recover that information?

    It doesn't matter what it is in your backup that's causing the problem because you can not selectively restore things from your backup. It's all or nothing.
    Set you phone up as a new device and start over.

  • I forgot my security password and didn't set up a rescue email address. I tried calling apple but they tried charging me to reset the questions. Is there an easier and cheaper way to reset them?

    Probably not; if you want, you can try using this form, but will likely be told to phone instead.

  • I forgot my security password for my apple ipod touch

    forgot my security passcode and now my apple ipod touch is locked and it tells me to sign into itunes..how do i unlock it now..

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
    iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
    If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
    Placing your device into recovery mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
         1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
             of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
         2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
             red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons.
         3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
             The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
             charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
             start with step 2 again.
         4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
             When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
         5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
         6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

    I wanted to download Grand Theft Auto Vice city, but because it was the first time I bought something on the Ipod I had to fill in my security passwords, I forgot those so I went to the site appleid.apple.com I tried in this way to change my back-up e-mail but I couldn't so i'm totally stuck now.

  • TS1702 Can anyone explain to me if iPhoto for iPod/iPad is suppose to have facial recognition. I downloaded it for that purpose but cant get it to work. I was about to buy an iPad but without the Facial Recognition I won't bother.

    I need to have a Facial Recognition program for the iPad. I use iPhoto on the Mac and need to be able to use the Facial Recognition on the iPad.

    I'm not sure where did you get that?
    iPhoto for OS X does have facial recognition. The iPad version doesn't.
    newer iPhone and iPad do have facial recognition in their camera applications (for auto-focus).

  • How Many Times in a Week Will Apple Keep Locking My Account?

    Twice a week Apple keeps locking my account and I have to go reset it with my old password or issue a new password.  I have done both yet I can't go a week without being told I have to do it again...and again.
    How do I end this loop?

    Ok, Finally I switched my coding to use DAO and DTO, and I learned it through internet.
    I removed all of data access codes from my jsp file(lets say 'functions.jsp'). I then created one interface and two clasess.
    here is my DAO interface.
    public interface UserFunctionsDAO{
        public List<UserFunctionsDTO> selectUserList();
    }here is DTO class
    public class UserFunctionsDTO{
        private String category = "";
        private String sub_category = "";
        private int cat_id = 0;
        private int sub_cat_id = 0;
        public UserFunctionsDTO(){}
        public UserFunctionsDTO(String category, String sub_category, int cat_id, int sub_cat_id){
            this.category = category;
            this.sub_category = sub_category;
            this.cat_id = cat_id;
            this.sub_cat_id = sub_cat_id;
        //Setters and getters will go here.
    }my concrete data access class is like this.
    public class UserFunctionsDataAccess implements UserFunctionsDAO{
        MyDB dbObject = null;
       private static final String SQL_GET_DISTINCT_CAT= "SELECT DISTINCT cat FROM cat_table";
       public List<UserFunctionsDTO> selectUserList(){
           dbObject = new MyDB();
           dbObject.sqlSelect(SQL_GET_DISTINCT_CAT);
           ResultSet rs = dbObject.getResultSet();
           ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
           while(rs.next()){
               list.add(new UserFunctionsDTO(rs.getString('category'), .......................));
           return list;     
    }I think now im following good coding practices, but I have one problem.
    1. How do I retrieve this userlist from my jsp page?
    2. Should I include UserFunctionsDTO in my jsp page as a bean?
    3. If I include it, how can I get the list from it?
    thanks in advance,
    Dilan.

  • HT5312 ok so i forgot my security answers and now i cant buy any music at all ive tried to reset them from the apple id account but it doesnt let me

    i just got my itunes card and was about to buy some music when it asked me for my security questions which i dont know and it ended up locking me out , i just unlocked it but i still cant answer the questions.ive had people tell me that i should go to my apple id account and it would give me a link to reset them there but it doesnt show up on mine what can i do?

    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account. If you aren't getting the link (you won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • A while ago I wanted to download/buy an album on my iPhone 4 but I didnt have enough space so I deleted some stuff and downloaded the album. well ever since then my other music won't play, only that one album will play and none of my other music will play

    a while ago I wanted to buy an album but I didn't have enough space on my phone, (iPhone 4) so I deleted some things off my phone and downloaded the album. well ever since then all my other music won't play, only that one album will play. I thought it was because I havent been able to get the software update on my phone but I don't have enough space for that either. I deleted almost all my photos, all my apps, i deleted almost all the info that is on the apps that you can't delete, but it says I have too much music and I only have 45 songs!!!!!!!! and I don't want to delete them because that's what I'm trying to listen to but I can't because of whatever reason. PLEASE HELP!!

    1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
    2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
    3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
    4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
    5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
    6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

  • I believe some how some way my iPhone or appleID has been hacked into.  My iPhone sent 3 iMessages out that I did not type or send - 2 while I was sleeping and one while I was in mid imessage conversation.  Please help if you know anything about this!

    I believe that my iPhone or apple ID has been hacked into.  Three imessages were sent from my phone that I did not type or send - two while I was asleep at 1:15am and in the morning during an iMessage conversation.  These messages were to my boyfriend about my boss.  Apple and AT&amp;T have been somewhat helpful but both are pointing fingers at the others saying they cannot track the message or see if my personal information has been compromised.  I feel extremely violated because this hacker knows who my boyfriend is and who my boss is and I just started this job two weeks ago!  I am about to go to the police because this person is trying to taint my good reputation and destroy my relationships at work and in my personal life.  Does anyone have any incite on how this could be done and is there any way to trace where those three iMessages were generated from??

    No I have my own iPhone iPad and MacBook  so everything is set up on devices that are mine and as far as I know I never connected to anyone else's device and logged with my apple ID.  But are you saying it is possible for someone to have obtained my apple ID and send an iMessage from their device with my contact information so it looks like it came directly from me?  It's crazy I looked down at my iPhone and saw this message had just been sent that I did not type or send
