New account..u​nknown secondary email?

Hello!
After creating a mybestbuy account and filling out my profile I see that there is a secondary email that I am unfamiliar with. I just registered about an hour ago so I'm not sure if it was a default or how it got added. I tried to update it but receive the error "If this email address has not already been registered, an email has been sent to activate the account" I just want to make sure no one else can access to my information. How did this email get added and how can I remove it?

Hello morestuff,
Welcome to the forum! Nowadays one can never be too careful when entering personal information online. It is very important to keep that information safe to prevent someone else from misusing it, and I can definitely understand your concern when you discovered a different e-mail address in your My BestBuy account. 
I would be happy to look into this to see what is going on, and help you update your information, but I will need more information from you. I would appreciate it very much if you could send me via private message your name, phone number, mailing address, and correct e-mail address. To send me a private message simply click to the right of my signature. 
Thank you again for visiting the forum, and I look forward to continuing to work with you.

  • I have changed settings on my email account with my provider, but in order to activate the address they instructed me to delete my account and add a new account with the same email address. Will this delete my all my email history? Any advise please?

    I have an OS X 10.6.8 and have had problems with my mail. I have changed my account settings with my mail provider, but they suggest I now delete my account and add a new account with the same email address. Will this delete my email history? Can anyone please advise?

    I have the same problem as the emails go to my iCloud account that I cannot access!!! I cannot answer the security questions as someone else must have set up my iCloud account. Nothing seems to work. It would be great if someone has some ideas as what can be done to recover the situation?

  • HT2589 i have another account that has money in it already  but i had forgotten my security answers so i created a new account with a recovery email but my money is not added into my new account. how can i recover the money and added to my new account

    i created a new account because i had forgotten my security answers. now the problem is that the money i had in my other account wasnt transffered to my new account, even thou i put in a retreive  email address into my new acount. how can i tranffer the money into my new account?

    You can't transfer a balance from one account to another account, it can only be used on the account that it was originally redeemed onto.
    If on your old account you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address on it then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • I have 2 id apple. 1of them don´t recongize my adress in Brazil. I tried to create another account but the ipad refuse it. I´d like to exclude these 2 accounts and creat a new account with my same email. How can I do it?

    I have 2 accounts at ID apple. One of them the system don´t recongize my addres in Brazil, I tried to create another account but the ipad refuse it.
    I´d like to exclude my accounts and creat another account with my same email. How can I do It?

    I don't know if that works on the iPhone, but....
    View your SETTINGS and choose ICLOUD. That will give you your cloud settings. At the very bottom it has a delete button. Click it an see what happens. After deleting the account (and potentially loosing data connected with it) you should be able to log in to iCloud using your old id.

  • My original account was opened with an email account that I no longer use but I still have access to it.  I opened a new account using my current email address but can't access songs purchased or added to my library from my old account.

    When I go through the process of retrieving my password the system says it has sent an email to address to which the account is associated but that is not happening.  The information (birth date & secret hint) associated with the account also don't agree with the correct info

    Hi Stillme,
    You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another. You need to go into the old Apple ID and change it to the new email address instead of using a new Apple ID altogether.
    Apple - My Apple ID
    If you can't remember the password to the old ID, then click on Reset your Password, and answer the Security Questions. If you can't remember the Security Questions, contact iTunes Support and have them reset:
    APPLE ID SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
    Once you get into your old account, Edit the Apple ID to your new email address. Before you will be able to do that you are going to have to change the email address on the new Apple ID to something else.

    What I need to do?

    Hi,
    Reading between the line I think you are trying to Register for an @Mac.com name.
    You NEED another email address to do this.
    However it needs to be one that is not already associated with any Apple ID already (You can't create an Apple ID using another Apple ID)
    Secondly due to a restriction at the AIm Server End (it will be a Vlaid AIM Screen Name) the password has to be 16 characters or less.
    If you register at AIM they ask for another email (aimed at Password recovery and confirmation email) but it is not Hard Linked like the @mac.com one.
    Obviously an @Me.com name is also a Valid AIM name but again the password needs to be 16 characters or less.
    ANy other Apple ID will not be a Valid AIM scree Name unless you register it.
    It may work in iChat if it is a Googlemail ID (As a GoogleTalk ID) - you have to enable Talk on your Google Account settings, at Google.

  • Registered new account and accidently put in incorrect email

    Got new Ipod touch and registered a new account but put in the incorrect email address (one letter off), all other info correct including name, CC, and iTunes gift card number. I can't confirm this account because it sends confirmation to incorrect email. I tried starting a new account with the correct email and info but it won't accept the iTunes card number. How can I delete the incorrect email and create account with correct email and info?

    I would contact the iTunes store. To find out how you can go to the Contact Us link at the bottom right of this page. You can also go to Apple Service and Support in iTunes' Help.

  • I deleted my iCloud account, but now I can't use Find My iPhone. And I can't setup a new account because it writes that this account was assigned to iCloud already...

    Hi guys. I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5... Its great, I wanted to test out the new iCloud so I enabled it on first iOS 5 setup.
    So now I wanna delete it. So I did. Because my battery just wont work the way it used to on iOS 4.3.5. I guess it tries to connect to the internet so it could auto backup stuff. Well I dont need it. Mainly because I don't want to pay for extra space, and my free 5GB are almost done. Also I rather back it up on my PC.
    I deleted my iCloud account but now I can't use FindMyiPhone! When I connect to the app it wont find my phone. When I enabled iCloud again it worked.
    So I deleted it again and it stoped working again... I tried to setup a new account via MobileMe "Settings> email blah blah blah" and it didn't work because the account was already assigned to use iCloud only I guess...
    What should I do?

    Its solved I just restored it to that point

  • Can my daughter open a new account when her Ipod had been associated with my Itunes account?

    Hi,
    I just upgraded to an Iphone 4, from old phone.  My daughter's Ipod 4 had been sunk to my ITunes account that I used to have on old Ipod.  Now that I upgraded phone, it required me to use a different accound address from the old one that was taken over by my daughter's Ipod.  Now, she can no longer access Itunes store on her iPOD.  I tried to have her open a new account with her own email address attached to it.  She couldn't use the ITunes card we bought, on it.........and fears losing all her tunes?
    Anyone ever separate two accounts in same house?

  • Remove Google Talk ID from iChat new account box

    Hello,
    I recently set up an iChat account with a private email account just to test the software, but I want to delete the account.  I have gone into the menu under preferences and deleted the account within iChat.  However, whenever I open iChat again, the dialog box to start up a new account still shows my email address under the Google Talk option.  As this is a private email address, I don't want this to display when I open iChat.  I have deleted the entry from the keychain access, which helped to get rid of the password, but did not get rid of the ID being stored someplace.  I have also deleted all of the preference files for ichat from my library folder, as well as everything from the ichat folder under Library/Caches.  However, when I start up ichat again, this email still is being stored and pops up in the account setup window.
    Can someone please help me figure out where this information is being stored and how to delete it?  I have tried setting up a new google talk account, trying to replace it.  The new account gets set up, but once I delete it and open ichat again, the original unwanted id is still there.
    Thank you very much for any assistance!

    Hi,
    IF you were starting with the Start Up Screens for iChat you an enter any Info in the AIM (@mac.com/Mobileme options) or Jabber/Google Screens as required as you go.
    Those are then seen in iChat > Preferences >Accounts.
    Deleting an Accounts/Screen Name here leave the ID used in the Keychain
    Deleting the .plist for iChat (Namely com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist) does not stop iChat calling back that info from the Keychain ----- IF ------- you also happen to delete com.apple.ichat.plist at the same time (Forces the Start Up screens to Re-appear) at which point any Keychain info is "recovered".
    Solution.
    Go to the Applications/Utilities folder and Launch Keychain Access.
    Go to the Password section.
    Find the relevant entry and double click it.
    This will open an Info window for this item
    You can click the show Password box and then fill in the Allow Dialogue box to see it.
    You can delete just the password.
    You could delete the whole entry.
    You can use the Access Control Tab to limit it to the app that should use the info. (i.e Mail if it is an email)
    As a standard action deleting the account in iChat and then the Keychain references for the password should be enough with then restarting iChat
    The first rewrites the iChat .plists that hold any info.
    The restart of iChat cannot then access the Keychain info as it does not exist (the account is not in iChat to even ask for it).
    One more possible to check.
    Certain Email Addresses are also iChat Valid Names.
    The Address Book will be read and  @mac.com And MobileMe names, as they are Valid AIM names will be  placed  in the Start Up Screens even if they are not placed in the AIM name spot for IM names in the Card when you start up iChat for the "First Time"  (First time includes the double com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist with com.apple.ichat.plist deletions and restart)

  • I switched email servers and when I synced to the new server, all my old emails erased... HELP

    I previously had 1&1.com hosting my email addresses ([email protected] & [email protected]) and I recently switched to Weebly/Gmail to host these email addresses...
    I enabled IMAP forwarding in gmail (which in hinesight I think I should have selected POP) and when I updated my server settings in Thunderbird - all of my old emails disappeared. Theses emails are for business and I may have dramatically hurt our business by doing this.
    Are emails backed up anywhere where I can restore from? I do have the option selected to store all emails on my local computer - please help :)

    With IMAP all mail is managed on the server. By simply changing the server of an existing account you virtually start from scratch. I.e. the new server knows nothing about the mail on the old server.<br>
    What you see in Thunderbird is basically a mirror of what's on the server.
    What you should have done is moving messages off of the old server to your Local Folders account.<br>
    Alternatively you could have created a new account with the same email address on the new server.
    The Thunderbird IMAP synchronization option basically is a local offline copy of what's on the server. The offline copy got wiped out when you connected to the new server. It isn't an equivalent for a proper backup of your messages.
    I don't know if you still have access to the old server. If not, then you can only restore a backup of your profile folder, assuming you've created one at some point.
    It is grossly negligent not to backup your business email.

  • How Can I change my email address or create a new account??

    I need to change my email address of the account or create a new account but when I try to create new one is
    asking me for the password supposing like I have already one...

    At this time, you cannot change the email address for an account. When you sign up for a new account it will ask you to provide a password on the very first page and then confirm it before you continue.

    do I need to create another account with a different email account
    Yes, the email addresses need to be unique to each device. You may use the same Apple ID on each device, but the email address used by each device needs to be different.
