Problem with email and password

Okay so this isn't my real account, I had to make this one to sign onto these boards so I can ask my question.
On my real account I signed up with my original main email that was @verizon.net, but this past summer I switched providers to @comcast.net. The problem is that I've always used out login, so I kind of forgot my password. So since my old account is shut down and I cannot log in to reset the password, I can't change my email on my account nor can I change the password, I can still use my account since my comp. still auto-logs in but I can't change anything or log into this site. How can I retrieve my password so that I may edit my account?

I have a similar problem...I lost password. tried to reset it. twice. The email was sent(?) but never got to my yahoo account. Not even in the spam folder. Now I am locked out from even trying.. Any Idea how or who I can contact??

Problems with email and SMS after 1.3.5

Let me first say that I love the Pre. Up until this point it has been perfect - I have a replacement, but that is because I dropped it (wrong angle, wrong location, broken screen). However, following the 1.3.5 update I'm now having a fairly important problem with email and sms - I can receive email and messages, but not send them.
I have two email accounts. My personal account is with earthlink. My work account goes through an ISP using the domain name of my employer. I'm not using Microsoft Exchange or Outlook. I have tried deleting and reentering the accounts and that did not work. I can receive messages but get error messages when I try to send.
The same for messaging. I don't use it very often. But yesterday I get a text message and tried to respond and got the error message.
I power the phone off every night because I have a landline and use that as the primary phone at home.
I have been looking around message boards trying to find a fix for this. Has anyone had this issue and resolved it?
Thank you.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

I forgot to add that this is a stock Pre. There are no patches or homebrew apps.
Edit:
I found a fix for the email problem, in posts on precentral and this board from a few months ago. The info came up in a Google search, and not searches of the boards, which is kind of frustrating. Here is the info, and the link. I really wish Palm would put info about this work around on their site, or at least make it easy for people to find. The solution is the last message in the thread linked below:
Had the same problem. Checked with Earthlink - no help. Checked with Sprint - no help. Checked with Palm - no help. Here is what finally worked:
Delete the earthlink account and start over. When you do - this is the key - set up the account manually! If you use the Pre defaults and try to change the settings it will not correct the problem. Your settings for outgoing mail must be:
"smtpauth.earthlink.net"
Use Authentication set to "on"
username is your email address
your email password
port set to "587"
encryption "none"
Again, the key is to set up manually.

Problems with email and gmail on 5800

Just got my nokia 5800 this week i love it except the email application which gets me a headache!
When I add my gmail account and fill in my email and password it works right away no problems there. But then the trouble starts! it will start downloading ALL my headers since I'm a gmail user from the beginning and save most of my emails that means it will start downloading 6000+ headers! I tried several things to stop it but in the end it just kept going until it got all headers. I decided to let it get all headers but that wasn't that much of a good idea because it became ded slow when i opened the emailbox sms is still all fine but as soon as i open the email box its not just slow its SLOW!!! slow as in taking 10 seconds to even scroll up and down...
I also played a bit with gmail only enabling pop or only imap or activate both but it just doesn't Mather it will just get them all. The email app doesn't work when I only enable pop in gmail....
Hope i got the problem clear if not ask away and ill try to clarify things

Problem with username and password

I've been trying to set up a new back up from scratch, and after losing my network and wifi connection, I just about have it all working again.
I have wireless connection, and I have the TC appearing correctly in Airport Utility, green light, reporting no issues, and seemingly ready to go.
It shows up correctly when I select disk in TM's system preferences, and it shows up and connects OK i n Finder, under shared items.
However, when I try to initiate a backup, its reporting a problem with the username and password, even though I'm entering the correct password.
I've checked it in the keychain, changed it in AU to be sure etc, and when I enter a wrong password, it just tells me its the wrong password, rather than this longer message explaining there's a problem with the username or password.
So I guess it could be with the username, but not sure what that might be - any ideas?
The only thing I can think of is that the name appears as Time Capsule b7e45c in AU, but as Iain MacDonald's Time Capsule on Time Capsule b7e45c in TM's system prefs.
Message was edited by: Iain MacDonald1

Exactly the same here...error 107 is reported when I try to back up.
There are 4 computers sharing the time capsule and only one of them reports this error.
Is there a way to remove the sparsebundle and start again for this computer without having to lose all the others?

Problem with email and bluetoothing photo

Ok first of all today I tried sending a photo via bluetooth to my mates BB, I paired up with the phone and went to send it but got an error message saying cannot find services, or something to that effect.
Also I have my hotmail account linked up to push to my BB, but I dont get all emails pushed through only some?
I also have seperate folders for different people and things set up on my hotmail account, yet only the inbox emails get pushed through, is it possible to push the other emails that im receiving in different folders?
Thanks, I have the 8900 curve

Thank you for your reply.
Yes, the problem is for experted users, but basically I need a procedure to set an email address different from login's email on my account. In the screen with my account information, or in the SMTP page, there isn't the possibility to set an email different from the login one, the system set it for you.
In fact I wanna set a different email. It's like I'm writing from [email protected], but I want other people see that I'm writing from [email protected]
I hope I wrote it cleary.
On my PC I can set it, not on my iPod. Anyway it seems not to be a big deal!

Hey 1Jerry,
Thanks for the question. You'll want to delete and re-add your iCloud account (utilizing the new Apple ID address). When prompted, opt to keep as much information on your device as possible. The following article provides information on how to do so:
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Turn off iCloud completely
Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I use free Yahoo mail webMail access because folders I created in webmail access doesn't get set up in Apple Mail. While I was searching for post about password and keychain issues, I stumbled on several threads that complain about Mail folder issues, so I'm holding off on Apple Mail.
On the password and keychain issue that your post is all about. I've been using login keychain to save and automatical fill my login screens for a year or so successfully, with Safari and Chrome. Automatic form fill also works for Facebook login. Unfortunately, about 4 to 6 months ago, automatic password form fill stopped working with Yahoo webmail, while still worked for GMail (Safari and Chrome). I tried deleting the password entry for my two Yahoo email accounts to start fresh, but neither Safari not Chrome will even ask me if I want to save the password. I was so frustrated that I eventually installed the keypassX 0.43 (password manager) that is quite primitive sompare to OS X's keychain (when it works). Probably no surprise to you yet.
The surprise, to me at least, is that, for whatever reason, password auto form-fill from keychain started working again for Yahoo webmail login on Safari about 5-7 days ago. Still doesn't work on Chrome!
Two tips I can share, at least with webmail access:
1. Password is save only for one of my yahoo mail accounts. When I login in with my other yahoo account, I get no prompt to save the password, and form fill doesn't work when I try to log in a second time with my other Yahoo mail account.
2. On inspection of my login keychain, I see a webform password item saved for my Yahoo account that works with keychain. The name of the password is: login.yahoo.com(MyAccountName1#). When I open the password item and look in the Access Control tab, I see Safari and Chome are listed as allowed to access this password item..
I also an "Internet password" item with a name of just login.yahoo.com. When I open the the password item, it looks just like the password item created for MyAccountName#1, but the MyAccountName#2 is listed in the Account field. Inside the Access Control tab, no apps are listed in access permission. I added Safari and Chrome to the lists of allowed app, saved the password item.
Now when I bring up the Yahoo login page(by bookmark) on Safari, form fill fills in MyAccountname#1 for name and the proper password and I can login in. When I change the name to MyAccountName#2, the correct password is retrieved and I can log in! Alas, it still doesn't work on Chrome.
BTW, I changed the password item type from "Internet password" to "Web Form password" and saw no difference! I also edited the name to be "login.yahoo.com (MyAccountName#2)" to look like the web form password item that works, but it has no effect either.
From my experimentation, here's my observation:
1. A Web Form password item is created for the first account name(MyAccountName#1) for login.yahoo.com and typed as Web Form password. When I log in using MyAccountName#2, an Internet Password is created, but no applications are listed as allowed to access the password item, even when the password item was created after just logged in and logged out to yahoo with the account name and password for MyAccountName#2.
2. Manually adding Safari as an app that is allowed to use the password item works. Doesn't work with Chrome!
The version of Safari I'm using is Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2). My installed version of Chrome is Version 21.0.1180.79 beta.

I have an IPad mini and I changed the Apple ID and the password almost one year ago and, for a while, a message asking me to sign in to ICloud pops- up constantly. My ICloud account is registered with an old email address and password. I do not remember the password to my ICloud account, and ID address that my ICloud account is registered under is an old email adress which is deleted right now (the old mail account is deleted). I don’t have a rescue email adress and I don’t know the answers to the security questions, so I have no way of changing the ICloud password. A message asking me to sign in to ICloud pops up constantly, but I always just hit cancel. However, now I am unable to access Find My IPad. How do I get my ICloud account changed and registered to be under my current Apple ID (email) and password? It is possible to set the device as New Ipad?

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 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.

TThat's the problem. I've tried to delete the current icloud account but in order to that you need to put in the old password which I don't have so it kicks me out.

Can I change my email address and password on itunes but still open it with the old email and password since my husband has and uses the other email account?

Purchased iphone years ago using our only email address and recently this year my husband finally decided to get the iphone 4 using our email with no intentions on syncing it to computer. In July I purchased the iphone4 and just recently installed the upgrade ios5 and since then decided to get my own email address but all my devices and itunes account is under our email address and not my new address. Now he decides to upgrade his phone to ios5 and now we get each others new apps, music and if we get texted though imessage. I assume this is because we have the same email and password account.
How can i change the itune account to my new e-mail address, but my husband keep the same itunes login all on one itune account? or is this possible?

If you change the primary email, you must use that one to login in with, as the primary email IS your AppleID.
If you go to https://appleid.apple.com you can login and change your information for your AppleID account, but you will see that the AppleID = primary email address. So, no, there is no way to change that, and still have your husband log in with the old AppleID/email.
Your husband can still use your AppleID after you change the email addres, just using that new email and password (ie. you can both still use the same AppleID, but it now will defacto be your new email address).
Or, if it is just a means to avoid the collisions of iMessage texts, just have your husband create his own AppleID just for use with iMessage. You can still both use your AppleID for the iTunes and App stores, but in the iMessage settings, he can use his own AppleID instead of yours.
In short - you can each have multiple AppleIDs, and you do not have to use the same AppleID for both purchases, syncing and so forth AND iMessage - iMessage settings can use a different AppleID from the other things.

I shared an ipod 5th generation with my ex partner and she set it up with her email and password. how can i change it for my password and email address so that i can wipe it and start again?

i shared an ipod 5th gen with my ex partner and she set it up with her email and password. i have the ipod now but no password and would like to put it on my email and password so that i can wipe it clean and start again, any ideas?

The iPod isn't tied to an Apple ID, but is likely tied to an iTunes library. If you want to set it up as a new iPod (as if you were just pulling it out of the box), restore it to factory settings in iTunes.

I have attempted to upgrade os4 to os7. icloud has taken an old expiered email address for which i do not know the password. It will not recognise my current email and password with itunes. Any help appreciated

I have attempted to upgrade os4 to os7. At the end, it threw an error that i had to turn off "Find my iphone" on my phone, which seems to be impossible at that stage as i could not access beyond the upgrade screen.
I thin chose to set up as new iphone, but icloud has taken an old expired email address for which i do not know the password. icloud will not recognise my current itunes email and password, so i now have os7 but am unable to restore from my itunes back up.
Desperately need help please... Any help appreciated
Thankyou

If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.
