i need to change my security e-mail address as the account i was previousily using using has been deleted. I've been wanting to buy a few albums in iTunes before i go away (no reception in the area I'm going).
just someone please, please help me!

If you know the answers to your security questions, then from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 :
Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.
If you can't remember your answers then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset, before you can then use the above steps for potential future use.

  • Mail problem: "The account ___ is in use on another device."

    Sometimes when I launch Mail it says "The account _ is in use on another device" with the blank being my email address. This is not consistent but it seems to happen (or I notice it more) when I have not launch the app in a little while. The only other "device" that could be putting my account "in use," I suppose, is my iMac when it fetches mail periodically but I can't believe that this is the cause because I never experienced this with my iPhone 3G (3.1.3). Any ideas what is causing this?

    I have the exact same problem, only my iphone 3Gs did it prior to the upgrade also. the strange thing is that it does seem to still get messages so they appear, only more slowly than what they appear on the mac book.
    if anyone has an answer would be great!!
    cheers

  • How can i secure my mail on the same desktop that is used by my hubby?

    I know that i can create multiple desktops but thats not what i want to do as i have firefox set up for my use & he uses safari. I just would like my mail to be private!

    You want to create your own account, not one for your husband. Open the Accounts preferences, click on the lock icon and authenticate. Click on the [+] button to add a new account. Provide your new account information - long name, short name, and password. Make the account an admin account if you want full access or a standard account for limited access. There's a checkbox for admin status otherwise a standard account is made by default. Activate Fast User Switching. When you finish you should see the current account name in the right side of the menu bar. You can transfer your bookmark favorites to the respective location in the new account which you will find in the /Users/ folder. Select your new account from the menu bar listing and log in with your new username and password.

  • My mac has been crushed where I forced to re install the original OS 10.5.8 now I want to upgrade to the mountain lion but it needs at least 10.6 version where I did purchased it before but it has been deleted after the crush.

    hi,
    I had OS 10.5.8 and I did upgrade it to snow Leopard, later after a year or so my mac has crushed where I forced to reinstall the original OS 10.5.8. now How can I upgrade to mountain Lion or at least to retreive my Snow Leopard?

    You need to use the Snow Leopard DVD to upgrade your computer. If you can't find that, phone the online Apple Store and order a new one.

  • I need to change my security question, but my e-mail won't change?

    I need to change my security questions, but my rescue e-mail is not correct. I've tried changing it, but it won't change on the security questions. So now, whenever I send it, it's going to some e-mail that's not mine and not getting to me! Help?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
