My email is no longer recognized by Apple

Yesterday I wrote a long mail explaining how my husband and I had problems with our two connected ID's
sorry lm new here and so can't find where it is otherwise I would have continued from there.
Basically every time one of us changes the password the other can't get into their account as we have
a shared email address as an ID on two devices.
I asked my husband to delete my email from his ID list. As this is what I was told by a PC shop guy he should do
so l could then use that email as my address and so as not to loose my mail if I were to delete it ( which had happened
on a previous attempt
He has told me it is not possible to delete that ID with my email but today I cannot get or receive mails on that email address
and when I go to manage my ID and try to enter it as one of my alternate addresses, it tells me the address is not valid?
I have spent days trying to get this sorted and  just can't find a solution...can anybody help?
Thanks

I have the same problem...but unfortunately I think its the hard drive that failed and I've only had this iPod 3 weeks (bought it used on ebay because I wanted to use accessories that only work on a 4th Gen. pod) Now I'm in the market for a cheap functional 20m GB HDD or an iPod with a different problem, click wheel bad, e.g. [if case you know of one]
Here's what I found, finally, to diagnose the problem (even the Apple store geniuses couldn't decide if the HDD or the control board or both were bad.) I found this on Apple's site.
Even if your computer won't see your iPod, you may be able to run "Diagnostics". On my 4th Gen 20GB, the way you do that is press Menu P/B and Select P/B at the same time for at least 6 secs to reset it, then while the Apple icon is displayed, hold the Back P/B and Select P/B at the same time-you'll know when you're there (again the second part may be diff. if you have a diff. unit-search Diagnostics on Apples support page.) Anyway, there are prompts and the rest is fairly intuitive. If your SCAN works your hard drive is probably OK-lucky you. If you check RAM or 5 in 1 and it comes back bad your control board is probably bad. There are battery checks and several other checks. Good Luck

  • My old email was hacked and no longer in use. My old Apple ID is no longer recognized  so I opened a new one. But all my apple gadgets are still prompting my void email which , of course, does not recognize my my former Apple ID. ID

    Even if my iPad and all apple gadgets contain my new email, the old email I no longer use is the one prompted for my apple ID when I visit the App Store. Please help.

    Making a new ID is not a good solution, as all your previous purchases are forever tied to the old one.
    Who cares if your old email was hacked, it's the apple id that matters. If you stil can't acccess it, then try this:
     Account Security Team (AST) 
    Check the AppleCare number for your country here:

    Call them up, and let them know you would like to be transferred to the Account Security Team.

  • I have an apple ID, I'm trying to use this to update and download apps etc. however, whenever I try this, it keeps asking me to use my old ID, which is attached to an email that no longer exists! I can't download or update anything! Help!

    You can log out of the currently logged in account by taping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and you can then log back in.
    If you updated your existing account with a new email address then that shoud 'refresh' it on it
    If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can redownload its content and download updates to its apps. You should be able to update an account's email address via this page : http://appleid.apple.com

  • I had to change my Apple ID because it was using an email I no longer have access to.  I cannot update apps.  HELP

    I had to change my Apple ID because it was using an email I no longer have access to.  I was able to change it just fine.  Now when I try an upodate my apps, it brings up my old Aple ID name so I am unable to update my apps.  How do I change the that?

    Hi tabby4800,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you may have created a new Apple ID and not edited the old one. Any applications that were downloaded from the old account will need the Apple ID and password from the account that downloaded them to update. You can either enter the password for that account or delete the applications and download them fresh from your new account to resolve this issue. Please refer to the following discussion for further information.

  • HT204053 I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't  edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized. Any suggestions?

    I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't  edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized on the appleid website, so my password for my old apple id won't work.
    Any suggestions?

    If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name.  (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
    If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library.  If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account.  To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • Apple ID blocked on iPhone  app updates, Mastercard no longer recognized

    All the sudden my Mastercard (canada) is no longer recognized. I checked with my bank and everything seems to be fine from their side.
    Every time I type the security code, it gives me the message that " this card cannot be used with the itunes store".
    After several attempts, I gave up and modified my account to payment "None" option.
    They don't want my money: ...fine
    Now what is more annoying is that I can't update my apps anymore on my iPhone. I get the message "Apple ID blocked". However, I am able to visualize my ID on the iPhone. I modified my password. Nothing helped. I tried another ID I have from having lived for many years in Europe. All the time my Canadian ID pops up on the App update function with the message "Apple ID blocked".
    Can anybody help with that? If this continues, I am seriously thinking about legal action as I paid for these apps and now I can't access up-to-date functions for a software which I own. Any ideas if there are some consumer defense organizations out there to help with that.
    I am seriously fed up with all the time lost with this problems (3 days spending my time working on this problem now!!!!)

    So I purchased Navigon app on my iphone 4 with my iTunes account id then got a new iPhone 4s and signed in with the required Apple ID and now Navigon app does not recognize me as its owner.  When I try to restore purchases I make on the app it tells me to buy it first.  The problem seems to be it defaults to my Apple ID when I am asked for a password and does not give me the option of using my iTunes account ID and password which is what I used when I purchased the app.  HELP?

  • My first generation iPad no longer recognized in iTunes, neither via usb nor wi-fi. Did all the steps  recommended in Apple iPad support. Now what?

    My first generation iPad is no longer recognized in iTunes. It just doesn't show up neither via USB nor via wi-fi.
    I've checked the usb connection and cable and its OK.
    I checked that iTunes is up to date on my Mac.
    I reinstalled iTunes on my Mac. 
    I restarted my Mac,
    I've restarted my iPad.
    The iPad has IOS 4.3.1 (8G4) installed. And without the iPad being recognized in iTunes  I can not update the IOS nor apps, nor remove unneeded photos. The iPad is completely filled up, no memory left to allow even updates via cellular or via wi-fi.
    Trying to gain access to update the IOS and to update APPS and to remove the pics I already have backed up and do not need on this iPad locally.
    PS: I even tried to connect the iPad to a different Mac and it was not seen in that iTunes either.
    So, what can I do now?
    Any suggestions besides using it as a paper weight?
    Thanks

  • Authorizing Songs for an Apple Account that is no longer recognized

    I have many songs that I've purchased from iTunes that are no longer allowed to play because the user is not authorized by my computer. I am the user but the account is one that expired about three years ago due to my moving and other life-changing events.
    How do I authorize songs in iTunes that that I purchased through an Account Name that no longer exists in iTunes or on .Mac?

    I'll join you in being stuck here.
    In a period of three months, I have purchased two new MBP laptops, moved (losing my cable modem ISP and email address, which was my old Apple ID), and Apple launched MobileMe.
    Somewhere in the middle of all that, probably with the MobileMe launch, I changed my Apple ID to my .Mac email address.
    Now my 1,000+ purchased tunes cannot be authorized on one of the new computers, since they are locked to my OLD and now defunct Apple ID.
    Apple's web site won't let me changed my Apple ID on the "My Info" page:
    *You cannot change this Apple ID*
    *because it is tied to a MobileMe account*
    *and/or an iChat ID. To create a new*
    *Apple ID, please click here.*
    Catch 22 here we are... If you see a reply to this thread without the "1" on the end of my name, that'll mean I have my old account back!

  • I upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 8 with iTunes installed. Now my iPhone 4S is no longer recognized in iTunes. Connecting with USB sends me directly to the MS app that downloads pictures from the iPhone. Suggest this is a question of missing Apple driver.

    I upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 8 with iTunes installed. Now my iPhone 4S is no longer recognized in iTunes. Connecting the iPhone with USB sends me directly to the MS app that downloads pictures from the iPhone. Suggest this is a question of missing Apple driver for Windows 8, iTunes and iPhone. MS does not care! This seems to be a general problem with Windows 8 that a number of drivers that used to work with Windows 7 now do not work, ie. iPhone to iTunes, HTC to HTCSync, Samsung to Kies etc. I need this connection to work in order to syncronize with Outlook and my iTunes library.

    There will be a new version of iTunes released this month... no one forced you to upgrade prior to a supported version of iTunes being released.
    Like the fact that you just called most of us stupid there

  • How do I disable a previous apple ID where the email is no longer valid and it has my incorrect birthday?

    How do I disable my old apple ID where I have 1) forgotten the password, 2) the email is no longer valid (so they can't send me my password) and 3) it has my incorrect birthday (so I can't answer the security question to have them send me a new password)?
    Also, I set up a new apple ID on my iphone, but it won't accept my itunes card.  It says I need to complete all the information highlighted in red.  However, there is no information highlighted in red.  It seems to want me to put in a credit card.  Is there any way around this?

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

    All content from iTunes is tied to the account that bought/downloaded it, and it can't currently be transferred to a different account. If you don't know the account's password nor it's security questions (http://iforgot.apple.com), then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they can help you get access to it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
