Trying to send password reset email for old Apple ID but it isn't found

I had no idea where to post this, sorry I'm new to this! Moments ago, I finally was able to access an old email account that I used to create my previous Apple ID. When I tried to send myself a password resent email so that I could finally access my old iTunes acciunt music to get back all of my old purchasEd, no email was ever sent. I tried seeing if that email was connected to the iTunes account by using the forgot my username thing but it told me that no Apple id was found that was connected to that email. I know that this email is connected to this Apple ID because I searched it and found receipts for all of my old purcahases. Did Apple delete my old ID? I really just want to get my old songs back so I'd really appreciate if somebody could help me!

iTunes accounts aren't deleted, unless you contact iTunes Support and ask them to do (and if they agree to do so). You are sure that the email address is still attached to the iTunes account, you hadn't updated its primary email address to be a different address ? If you can't find it via http://iforgot.apple.com then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can find it :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

    That's not a good sign if it said it was going to send it to an email address you've never heard of. Contact iTunes Support and let them know this: http://apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • Ai changed my email for my apple id, but i can't change my iCloud ccount because i can't remember my old password, and now i need to use iCloud for my new IPhone but it isn't working, how do i fix that?

    i changed my email for my apple id, but i can't change my iCloud  account because i can't remember my old password, and now i need to use iCloud for my new IPhone but it isn't working, how do i fix that?

    If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Can't login. Receiving password reset emails for w...

    Hello,
    I'm having really weird problems with my skype account [Redacted for privacy.]. I registered a new one just to post this message, because I can't log in with my original.
    I checked - I have 3 emails set in my profile. I'm logged in on the Skype App. Everything I want to change requires a password, and it doesn't accept the pass, even though I have it saved (using 1pass).
    When I attempt to reset my pass, I'm receiving password reset emails for users that aren't mine. I successfully changed the password for two different users, probably making them suffer the same problem as myself. Not sure how Skype picked those two users and decided they are me.
    So, I'm logged in, but can't change anything, or use some skype features.
    My username is [Redacted for privacy.]
    SOS

    I managed to fix it myself by manally entering the code instead of clicking on the reset link. This way a list with all accounts that had my email was showed and I was able to select my user from the list.
    My email looks like a very popular typo.

  • TS1424 I am trying to change my primary email for my apple id - when I change it the error reads, this is your rescue email. How do I change my rescue email?

    I am trying to change my primary email for my apple id - when I change it the error reads, this is your rescue email. How do I change my rescue email so that I can then change my primary id ?

    You will have to delete your rescue email address first, then go back and change your primary.
    Source: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5312
    You can edit or delete your rescue email address at My Apple ID. To edit your rescue email address:
    Navigate to My Apple ID 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.
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so. 

  • HT5621 Hi I'm using my wife's email for my apple Id but now she has got an iPhone we r both using the same one ive tried gettin my own using my own email but it keeps telling me my email is already in use how can that be????

    Hi I'm using my wife's email for my apple Id but now she has got an iPhone we r both using the same one ive tried gettin my own using my own email but it keeps telling me my email is already in use how can that be????

    Are you trying to set up your own iDevice and that is why you want your own Apple ID?
    Do you realize that any content that you have already purchased using her ID will still have to be used if you want to update apps or download purchases again for free? ITunes and App Store content is tied to the ID used to make the purchase. Furthermore, if you use her ID to download a purchased app for free on your own device, you can lock yourself out of your ID for 90 days.
    Back to the question at hand .... Did she use your email address as the rescue email address for her Apple ID?

  • It says that it is sending me a verification email for my apple id but i have not gotten an email

    I'm trying to log into my apple id but it is not letting me because i have not verified it. it says it sent me a verification email, but it did not.

    Hi,
    I presumed you started here https://appleid.apple.com/ ?
    And used the Manage Account option.
    Where in terms of the listed emails in your account does it say it is sending the email ?
    If yours is an older email from some ISP service you might have had in the past do you still have access to that ?

  • I added an alternate email for my apple account, but despite of this I didn't see the link below the forgotten security questions? How can I fix this problem, please?

    How I reset the security itunes questions when the link is missed?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    An alternate email address isn't the same as a rescue email address.

  • Blackberry ID Password reset email doesn't contain a link to reset password!

    I'm having the same issue that this guy had in this forum (which doesn't seem to have a solution?): http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-PlayBook/Blackberry-ID-Password-Reset/m-p/1745415#...
    Basically, I'm trying to reset my Blackberry password for my Blackberry Curve. I get a password reset email when i request it, but the email does not contain a link to reset my password. The ENTIRETY of the email is as follows:
    "This email has been automatically generated. Please do not reply to this email.
    If you have not previously indicated that you wish to receive emails from Research In Motion Limited and/or its affiliated companies regarding exclusive offers and updates about BlackBerry products and services and you would like to do so, please click here.

    Does anyone know what the problem is? It's not my web browser distorting the email -- i've tried retrieving the email from Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    That is very strange indeed...with only 2 possible causes I can think of.
    1) Your email app (on your PC) is blocking the link that is included in the email...many email apps will do this and sometimes you must override them. If you have an alternate interface to use (e.g., GMail webmail interface versus Outlook), then try the other and see if that helps. Depending on the email environment (e.g., private corporate email system), it is also possible that some gateway along the path is stripping out the necessary link(s) as a security measure.
    2) The reset email facility is actually broken, and the email does not contain what it is supposed to. If that is the case, then it requires formal attention from RIM. The only way to achieve that is for you to contact VZW and have them escalate your case into RIM.
    Good luck!

  • Reset email for Apple ID not received

    Hi there,
    my brother has troubles with resetting his Apple ID password for iPad. When requesting for email reset everyhing look fine, but eventually email never comes. He uses his gmail email as primary mail for Apple ID.
    Did someone else have same problems?
    Thx in advance.

    Hi MSFave,
    If you are having issues receiving the reset email for your Apple ID (and it is not in your spam/junk folder), you may want to try one of the alternate reset methods as outlined in the following article. There is also a link to the Apple ID Support page if those methods are not successful.

  • I have a question, I've always used my moms old email for my Apple ID because I got my first apple product when I was a little kid and I didn't have an email so if I change it will people have to make new contacts of me on their devices?

    I have a question I've always used my moms old email for my Apple ID but when I text on iMessage it says my moms email is the one who sent the message and it's embarrassing so if I change my Apple ID email will my friends have to make new contacts of me on their devices? please answer this as soon as possible I beg you.

    If you get your own Apple ID, then you will need a new email address unless you have an email address that is different from your mom's. In that case you use your own email address as your Apple ID.
    You will have to reconfigure everything to associate them with your new Apple ID. This also means any apps or music you  purchased using your mom's Apple ID will have to be repurchased using your Apple ID.

  • I changed my email for my Apple ID, and my iCloud won't let me change it, it only lets me delete my account. But I don't want everything on my phone that is linked to it to be deleted too. How do I change the email in the iCloud settings

    I changed my email for my Apple ID, but on my iCloud it's still registered under my old email, but I can't change it. The only option it has for me to do is to delete that account from my phone but I don't want to lose anything I have on my phone that is linked to my iCloud account

    If you go to your iTunes account on the computer, where you changed your email account info, you find a link to other changes for your account info.  You may have done all that already, if so next you have to change the info on the device.
    To change the device info:
    Step 1.  Connect to iTunes on the computer and on the "Info" page, check the sync info box.  You should notice a change in your email info on the screen .  Sync device to the computer.
    Step 2.  note at the bottom of this "Info" screen a note that says to change you iPad info:  Go to Settings on the iPad, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars.   Change your email account information here.

    Hello Alexandra,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iCloud on your devices after updating your Apple ID.  I recommend the following steps:
    Symptoms
    iOS 7 may ask for the password to your previous Apple ID when you sign out of iCloud.
    Resolution
    1. Use your current Apple ID password
    Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
    2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
    If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
    If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
    3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
