My email used for my apple id was hacked and I had to give it up. How do I change my primary id? I can't use the one I had that was hacked.

I have tried to update my id and I seem to be getting a second account because when I enter my current email, apple tells me that I already have an account. I also am told that emails for verification are sent to my hacked account that I cannot access so I cannot get my ipad mini registered. I feel like I have been going around in circles and am very frustrated.

  • When fonts are packaged, do these fonts only link up to the one InDesign file that was packaged?

    I often work with InDesign client files that are different "versions" of the same file (the only change between these InDesign files maybe be a location name, but the rest of the file is the same (fonts, links, etc). So I'll have an InDesign file named as A version, one as B version, etc. When I open the A version of the file and package it for the printer, are those fonts (Document fonts) available to that specific InDesign file only? If I copy the other versions of InDesign files into that folder for the printer (rather than package each individual InDesign file, will those other InDesign files link to the collected Document folder? Or will I have to package each file separately?

    Thanks for replying Steve. A man who worked at a press, told me that InDesign files always pulled fonts from the same folder first. My coworker thinks it's only the InDesign file that fonts were packaged for. Now I don't know for sure what he meant and I don't have a way to contact him again.
    More experimentation on my part will be required and more packaging of files. Our Creative dept has 3 designers and when we work on each others files, there's always font issues unless the fonts have been packaged for each file. And don't get me started on Helveticas! Between system fonts, fonts used over the years, clients providing fonts... it's been a problem we've yet to solve... everyone using the same Helvetica font family.
    Again, thanks Steve.

  • I don't use many genre's, how can I delete the ones I do not use?

    In iTunes the genre list has many that I don't use.
    I would like to delete the ones I am not using.
    Does anyone know how to do that?
    I know how to add genre's, I just cant figure out how to delete them.

    Well, I think I understand that in iTunes, the Genres listed are "only" the genres found in each music file.
    However, after clicking on "get info" and then looking at my "INFO" page, when I select change Genres, a multitude of genre options appear, the ones I have added, AND a bunch that I never use, and never intend to use, e.g. soundtrack, dance, alternative, trance, unclassifiable, techno, religious, pop, new age, industrial, house, blues/R&B, Folk, Holiday, hip hop, etc.
    So there in lies my question, how do I delete (get rid of)  the genre options that I never use, and never intend to use.

  • The hotmail address i use for my apple ID was hacked and i no longer have access to it, this is stopping me from accessing any of my icloud or itunes. how can i fix this?

    The hotmail address i use for my apple ID was hacked and i no longer have access to it, this is stopping me from accessing any of my icloud or itunes. how can i fix this?

    Thanks, I appreciate the help.  I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

  • Deleted the email attached to old Apple Acc & forget password. Still registered to my iPod? How do I use a new Apple ID in App Store for my iPod?

    I have deleted the email address attached to my Apple ID. I know what the email address is but it is non-existant. I thought I remembered the password but apparently it is incorrect? When I go to the App Store on my iPod and click my account to try and sign out. It does nothing and the button is faded out. When I try to download a free app it asks for the password for the old account with a deleted email attached to it. How do I sign out of this account on my iPod so I can sign in to another Apple ID to download apps?

    - Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into another account.
    NOTE:
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    Try recovering access to your account by using the secret question methosd
    How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
    If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. SeeChanging your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.
    Then
    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

  • Why am I getting Emails from Apple in turkish to an Email-address that isn't used for my Apple ID anymore ?

    Hi everybody, I already apologize if this isn't the right community for my problem.This whole thing is very confusing  so I really hope someone can help me
    I used Gmail as my official email account and it was also the Email address for my Apple-ID (for many, many years..)
    Strangely, a few months ago, I got an Email from Apple saying that my Apple-ID was being used for Imessage and Facetime on other devices (in Turkey?). I googled it and found out that it might be a fishing mail so I quickly changed my password and also the Email-adress for my Apple.ID – which means that the Gmail-account was not longer in use for Apple anymore.
    But here's the problem :  I still get Emails from Apple (in Turkish) from time to time to my Gmail- account. They don't seem to be fishing Emails, though.  Another odd thing about that is, that the mails I receive at Gmail don't seem to be addressed to my CORRECT email-address.
    While my adress looks like „[email protected]“ the Itunes mails I receive are addressed to '[email protected]“ .  I hope you know what I mean. There is no point between the names in my real address.
    What could this be and how can I solve this problem ? It's really freaking me out. 
    Thanks,
    D.

  • HT204053 Can I use an icloud email address as the primary email address for an Apple ID?

    Hi There
    Can I use an icloud email address as the primary email address for an Apple ID?

    Whenever you create a new icloud email it is an Apple ID, but if you previously had an Apple ID you cannot use the new email to replace the old one. You have to abandon the old accout and you will lose all the content you had with that account. But what I did was upload all my itunes to amazon cloud, these were the only purchases I had. I already bought books from kindle and I now rent movies from amazon instant video. Everytime I log in I use my icloud email and password. I just used it to sign in to support communities.
    The notification that you posted about changing your Apple ID was present when I created my icloud email and made the change.

  • What should i do if my new email address is already been used for an apple ID?

    I have updated my itunes account with my new email address and I obviously want any further emails from apple or itunes to be sent to my new email address but I can't add my new email address s my primary email address as I'm getting a message to say "the email address you entered is already being used for an apple account.  If it is yours, you can cancel and sign in using that apple account".

  • Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.

    Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.
    I'm using their account and will continue to reset their password and settings until they either get the message or Apple do something about it and disable or migrate their account so that I can use MY OWN email address for my own purposes.
    I don't want to be informed about Apple products and services for someone else on my email account.
    I want to be able to use it MYSELF for iTunes
    All I am asking you to do is migrate their apple ID to their alternate email account settings and free up my email address so that:
    A. I can use it and B. I stop getting messages about their account history.
    Either that or just cancel their account as they have no right to use my personal details.
    Yes I could set up a new email address but WHY THE **** should I? I've been using this email account for years for personal stuff, it's not mu fault if someone can sign it up as an AppleID without me being able to confirm their sign up process!
    Your move Apple, make it count.

    Hi Sister Kate,
    If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • I am trying to change my email address for an Apple ID and it is saying that it is already in use. I then sign in with that Apple ID and it says that the account is not set up yet, I don't want to set up the account, but I do want to use the email address

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Once you have created a rescue address, you cannot delete it, nor can you change it to the same address as used by your ID. There are numerous providers you can get additional email addresses from, such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Google etc etc.

  • HT5624 I am trying to update my apps, but the email address I used for my apple ID is no longer valid so i cant update,

    I have one apple id for app downloads, but when I try to update my apps it shows a different apple id. The email i used for this apple id is no longer valid so It doesnt let me update.

    Hello,
    1-If the apps you just downloaded before are free, you can delete them and install again (that will update).
    2-Some people use outlook now, so if you are refering to "hotmail" you can still using it. Just remember your password you had in that time, or renew it here https://iforgot.apple.com/iForgot/iForgot.html and go to outlook.com, that will show a folder in the sidebar called "POP" that's your previous e-mail.
    Cheers.

    Hello Embark2013 - Thanks for the help!  If possible, could you or somebody in Apple-land explain to Apple that their system is IDIOTIC?!  Changing an email address should be the simplest thing imaginable.  Nobody should EVER have to consult a discussion group to learn how to do such a thing.
