Passwords for non-existent email addresses?

Just changed computers and now can't transfer some apps that were bought on a different Apple ID and can't remember the password. Can't get the password resent as they want to send it to an email address that no longer exists? How can I get the password? How can I get those apps onto my computer?

It all depends on your setup.
If you use only local mail domains, just make sure you do not have a catchall address (luser_relay) and messages to unknown users will not be accepted by Postfix in the first place.
If you use virtual mail domain, you will need to change your setup as Apple's default setup will always accept mail for unknown users and then bounce it back to sender. See here for a how to: Making Virtual Mail Users in OS X 10.4/10.5 Server

    when I try to purchase an app using my iphone it asks me for a password for the wrong email address. How do I reset my iphone to show the correct email address/apple ID

    Thanks for your reply. Having read through relevant topics it suggests that if I sync my iphone with the correct account on my pc it should use that one thereafter. i will try both.

  • I am trying to update my apps on my iPhone.  I recently change my apple ID to a new email address.  When I go to update the pop us is asking for the password for my old email address.

    I recently changed my apple ID to my new email address.  On my iPhone 4 I am trying to update apps and it asks me for my apple ID password for my old email address.  How do I change to my new email address?

    Did you change the Apple ID primary email to another email address or did you create a whole new Apple ID?
    Go to settings>itunes & app store and if it shows your old apple id at the top then tap on it then sign out and then sign in with your new apple id email.

  • "Enter the Yahoo! password for [my yahoo email address]" keeps popping up on my Mac desktop

    A pop-up window "Enter the Yahoo! password for [my yahoo email address]" keeps popping up on my Mac desktop (Leopard OS) every few hours. This has happened for the past year and only happens on my MacPro desktop, never on other laptops/computer. Does anyone have solution please ?

    Ok !! I think I finally found the trouble of this !! I went crazy that every 5 seconds I had to fill in my password for my yahoo account om Apple Mail. My computer is in another language so I'll try to translate as good as possible the buttons and so ..
    So these are the steps required:
    You need to give computer access to the password of Yahoo.com. How to do so ?
    You go to the application "Key Chain" that is included in your MacBook Pro.
    Then you go to the first tab that should say something with "Login/Session" and you should see all your saved passwords.
    Scroll down to the saved password of  "Yahoo: your-username @ ...
    Click on it, you should see a window opening
    Go to the tab "Access Control"
    Then click on "Allow all applications to connect .. ", NOT the option "Ask every time for allowance" or you can also just add the program "MAIL" with the "+" icon !!
    There you go, now you should not have to worry again !!!!!!
    Hope it helps people !!!

  • Apple asking me security questions that ive never set up and i can't purchase anything, and ive tried resetting them but i can't remember the password for my rescue email address, please help?

    Apple asking me security questions that ive never set up and i can't purchase anything, and ive tried resetting them but i can't remember the password for my rescue email address, please help?

    You need to either reset the rescue email address's password(check the site's help for instructions) or ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • I have had to change my email address/Apple ID. my iPad recognisIes the change of id but on my MacBook Air, iCloud just keeps asking me for a password for the old email address/account. How can I get iCloud to recognise the new details? Help please!

    I have had to change my email address/Apple ID. My iPad recognises the new detail in iTunes and iCloud but when I go into iCloud through my MacBook Air, it requests a password for the old email account which I can no longer use. There is no Option to be able to change this email/ID detail as I cannot get further than the password request. Can anyone help please - this is driving me insane?!

    Go to System Preferences and click Sign Out, select Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the changed ID?   (Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out and choose Delete, but will still be in iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

  • Forgot my Apple ID password for my OLD email address? HELP

    Soo, I'm trying to get started on my iPhone 6 set up and it's ground to a hault as it wants to know the password to my OLD email address which I do not remember. i  need this to carry on with my iPhone set up. I'm aware their is a password reminder for my current email address however not for an old email password. I have no way of finding out as it was solo long ago now. Please advise! 

    What are you actually needing to do?  If the issue is Restoring your Backup from an iCloud Account, then yes you would need your Apple ID and Password at minimum.  If you are just adding your email to the iPhone 6 then you would need your current email Account ID and Password.  Sounds more like an Apple ID Issue.

  • How to reactive my iphone 5s iCloud account however it's signed on to a non existent email address which i can't log on to verify password.

    I need help. My brother added a non exsistent email to his Iphone 5s. I want to delete that icloud email but I can't because it has to be verfied. Can someone help me?

    If you want to use another Apple I.D, you can go to SETTINGS - STORE. Click on the Apple I.D; select Sign out and Sign in with a valid Apple I.D.
    If you want to change the password of an existing Apple I.D. you need to sign in to the account first which apparently you can't as the "password" is incorrect. Here is what you can do to change the password.
    Go to https://appleid.apple.com
    Login with the Apple I.D. and you will see these 2 option.
    Select your authentication method.
    Email authentication: To access your information, we will send an email to the address(es) on file for you.
    Answer security questions: To access your information, you will answer the security question(s) provided when you originally created your Apple ID.
    Proceed with the one that's easy for you.

  • HT204053 I have iPad 2 and recently changed my Internet Service Provider and email address. I have created a new Apple I.D. and password but when I try to access or open my iPad 2 I am asked for the password for my previous email address.

    I have iPad 2 and recently changed my Internet Service Provider and email address. When I switch on the iPad I am asked for my password for
    my previous providerwhich when entered is not acceptable. I am told to create a new passord but this only changes the password for my current
    address. I am now unable to access iPad and I need to know how to circumvent this.

    Roger, thank you.  I wish I had sent out this question a month ago, when I committed the folly of creating another apple id with my alternate email address.  Since then, I had realized that I didn't seem to need it, hence today's post.
    So now what do I do?  Is there anyway to delete that unecessary apple id?
    And it is even worse than that...the secondary address listed currently in our apple id is a mobile me one that my husband created, but never uses, never checks, and probably doesn't even remember the password for. 

  • Can AppleScript/Mail recover from non-existent email address?

    I have an AppleScript which automatically sends HTML emails after a delay of a few days from receipt of an incoming email produced by a web form. It works well except for one issue:
    The address it sends to are picked up from the web form so I have been testing failure modes for various badly formed email addresses. Most fail gracefully with NDNs except if the domain does not exist. In this case Mail opens a dialog window with "Cannot send message using server etc". This is not good for an unattended Mac automatically processing thousands of emails a day. Mail appears not to inform AppleScript of this glitch.
    Any thoughts about a solution would be appreciated.
    I only have Tiger and Leopard but this script will eventually run on a recent Mac.

    This is a style thing, but I try to write my code so it is easy to debug.
    if (do shell script "x='" & w & "';
    z=${x##*@};
    t=`dig +short ${z%>*} MX`;
    echo ${#t}") > 0 then display dialog "send"
    It is hard to debug what is being passed to Unix.
    I'd write this something like
    [[ I have not tested this ! ]]
    [ I have not taken in Hiroto's comments ]:
    -- I write the code so as to debug it.  I would not assume the statement above would work the first time.
    -- I let the log statements in the final code.  They do not do anything outside of the script editor.
    set toUnix to  "x='" & w & "';
    z=${x##*@};
    t=`dig +short ${z%>*} MX`;
    echo ${#t}"
    log "toUnix = " & toUnix
    set result to do shell toUnix
    log "result = " & result
    -- I do not understand this statement. Shoudn't we be testing for the length of result? Or not equal to null?
    if result > 0 then
      display dialog "send"

  • HT204053 How do I reset a password for an inactive email address (Apple ID)

    I have forgotten the password associated with my iCloud Apple ID.  The email associated with that account was deactivated by the ISP over a year ago.  All of the security questions were either never answered, or are wrong (including my date of birth!!).  How can I get into my account?  There doesn't seem to be a way in this situation.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • IPhone complains about email password for non-existent account.

    I upgraded from my 1st gen iPhone to a 3Gs the other day.
    Now when I try to send email, I get an error stating that "Cannot Send mail.no password provided for "iat""
    link to the screenshot.
    http://filebin.ca/mukgzm/IMG_0309.jpg
    I've not had an "iat" email account on my phone since before September 2008, and even then, it was never set up properly as the mail-server wasn't allowing IMAP connections from outside, so it was deleted before it was working.
    My default SMTP server is my own server, on it's own domain (vehentis) and my secondary is my work email server. Nowhere in my mail settings does the word IAT even appear.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    The account has been completely deleted, yes.
    I don't syncronise my email accounts in iTunes, as I have my own IMAP email server and run thunderbird on the macbook. I don't, however, recall seeing any email account settings at all within iTunes.
    My email accounts are set to check on a 15 minute basis, and I'm often checking both accounts more frequently than that.
    As for power-cycling the phone, I received it on Tuesday. Activated it and set it up from a backup of my old iphone which had been taken on Friday, and it's been reset twice since then. It's rarely powered down as it sits in the desk cradle at work, in a cradle on my bedside table at night, and is in my pocket the rest of the time.
