TS1672 I want to sync the 2 apple ids from my touch and ipad.  One of my email addresses is no longer valid but I cannot seem to change it.  Help

hi, I have 2 apple IDs one for a touch and one for an ipad.  I would like to merge the two together but the first ID is connected to an email address I no longer use and cannot access.  Does anyone know how I can do this.  I get messages on my touch showing my old email address which I cannot alter.

Try changing the password by using the security question answer vice respoonding to an email. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE36
When you can access the account yu can then change the email adddress.
I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See How to change the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed.  If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
If problems, contact iTunes.

  • I am using the same Apple id for my iPhone and iPad! Does this cause a problem with apps?

    I Was told I should use a whole different I'd with my iPad because if I have both my phone and iPad with the same Apple id it will cause conflict with the apps on each of them. Does this happen?

    No. I've been using the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPad for years without problems. If fact, if both devices are yours and you use both devices having the same Apple ID on each of them is preferable.

  • How do i get my itunes to be the same on my laptop, ipod touch and ipad???? ive sync'd them all, but each is still different, please help

    how do i get my itunes to be the same on my laptop, ipod touch and ipad???? ive sync'd them all, but each is still different, please help

    Syning with iTunes is completely separate from iCloud, except that if you have elected to sync calendars and contacts with iCloud you cannot sync them with iTunes.
    What iTunes media are you having problems syncing to your iPhone?

  • I have the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPad. If i turn off "find my iPhone" on my iPad, will it also be turned off on my iPhone?

    My iPhone is broken, but I have to turn off find my iPhone. So without a working iPhone I had to do it with my iPad. I have the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPad, and I have turned off find my iPhone(iPad) on my iPad, but is it then turned off on my iPhone as well? And if it is not, what can i do to turn it off, now that i can't do it with the phone?

    I do not think so, but the easiest way to find out is to try it.
    edit: after rereading your post, there is not a way to try it with a broken phone. If the phone is broken, I think I would destroy it. Then it is a moot question.

  • My old email address was hacked and I am no longer able to access it. How can i reset my icloud ID without losing all of my pictures and more inportantly contacts? I have created a new ID but i cannot seem to use it until I delete the old account

    my old email address was hacked and I am no longer able to access it. How can i reset my icloud ID without losing all of my pictures and more importantly contacts? I have created a new ID but i cannot seem to use it until I delete the old account

    You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
    Have you seen this.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

  • HT4847 I have an old icloud account on my iPad wish to delete the email address in no longer valid and I can't remember the password how do I delet it

    Looking for help deleting an old icloud account the email address is no long valid I thought I changed this and deleted it previously but the iOS 7 update brought it back and won't let me delet any suggestions

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous owner's password to get permission to use the device. If you cannot get the password your father put on the iPad you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

    I have been locked from my itunes account as I could not remember password and it is on an email address we no longer have.  I also cannot remember the security questions.  How do I retrieve all this?  Help!  Note that I am doing this query through a work-related apple id.

    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.

  • My apple id email address is no longer valid. my current email address is recognised as my rescue email...i need to cancel old, change my current and add a new recue email...cant seem to be able too

    my apple id email address is no longer valid. my current email address is recognised as my rescue email...i need to cancel old, change my current and add a new recue email...cant seem to be able too

    How are you trying to do it ? You can change the rescue email address on your account by, 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.
    You can then try using your current rescue email address as your primary email address - you may need to log out of that page and back in. Or you can then try changing the primary email address via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes
    If you have an iPhone, iPad and/or iPod Touch you may then need to log out of your account on them by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log back in for the account to be 'refreshed' on it.

    Hi,
    Do you mean your domain users can’t send messages to a specific domain? And users can send other external domain messages well? Also check whether you can receive external messages or not.
    Please check whether this destination domain is listed in the accepted domain of your Exchange server(EMC > Organization Configuration > Hub Transport > Accepted Domains). If it is, please remove it from the list. Additionally, since the issue happens
    to all domain users, I suggest we can collect any logs in your Exchange server to ask a question in Microsoft Exchange Server forum for more professional suggestions:

  • I cannot backup because no more storage is displayed when the storage statistics shows Total Storage 5GB and Available Storage 5GB - basically i haven't used any memory but i cannot backup! please help

    i cannot backup my iphone4s because no more storage is displayed when the storage statistics shows Total Storage 5GB and Available Storage 5GB - basically i haven't used any memory but i cannot backup! please help. i am only trying to back up my notes and contacts. that's it. and i don't think it will use up 5GB

    On your iPhone, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage.  There you should be able to see how much of your used storage is allocated to different things (ex., iphone backup, ipad backup, mail).  From there you should be able to figure out what is going on.

  • My iphone doesn't recognize the user ID that the itunes account on my computer recognizes.  It was changed on the computer because the original user ID email address is no longer valid

    My ipone doesn't recognize the user ID that the itunes account on my computer recognizes.  It was changed on the computer because the original user ID email address is no longer valid.  Can someone please help me with this?  Thanks!

    Hi there,
    Thanks for the reply.  I did think that could be the case but then other books would also show up as apps on phone but not counted as an app.  Maybe book apps downloaded from the app store work in this way whereas books bought from the ibooks app show in ibooks and not as apps.
    I guess that would make sense, it must be because they are books but downloaded from the app store rather than the book store so they are visible as an app but don't actually get counted as an app.
    Would you think that's the case too?
    Thanks

  • Had to change my Apple ID because the original email address is no longer valid.  How do I change the iCloud user name on iMac?  I found instructions about signing out of iCloud and signing back end.  It asks questions about contact, etc.

    Had to change Apple ID due to email address no longer valid.  Trying to change id for icloud...saw direction online about signing out of icloud and signing back in...when it ask questions about contacts, photos, etc. being deleted how do I answer those?  That just sort of freaks me out.

    For the ones that give you an option, select the option you want (keep on the Mac or Delete). For the ones that are simply warning you, click on Delete from Mac.
    They will all come back when you sign back on, since all you did was change your existing Apple ID to a new email address. It's the same iCloud account, just with a different name.
    It's the only way to get your updated ID signed onto iCloud.

    Apple tv never sees any other device.
    Any ideas?

    Fascinating just reading about your setup. I have a WRT350N and have noticed that it will drop its speed, sometimes down to 1Mbps. It seems to do so at about the same time every day, but usually comes back to speed in about 5 minutes. In my experience, the Apple TV will disconnect if the speed falls this low. Try monitoring the Linksys with Netstumbler, Vistumbler, or just in the Windows Network utility.
    Check the "lease obtained" and "lease expired" times for your router to see if that is when the network fails. I've just finished reading an angry thread over at the Linksys forum about the WRT330N where someone mentioned that the router wasn't renewing its lease.
    "I cannot set it run off automatic DHCP from the WRT330N, the router will not assign it an IP every time the lease expires, causing me to have to manually set an IP on the Print server. That's annoying. Having the router drop IP's to individual machines after 12-48 hours...very annoying."
    http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&thread .id=67412
    If that is the problem, then I would consider setting up a Static IP address for your Apple TV. You can do that through the user interface -> Settings -> Network -> Configure ... (Quite intuitive as you only have change IP address and the subsequent details remain the same.)
    My router assigns IP Addresses in the ranges of 192.168.1.100 ->149. The idea here is to choose an address outside of that range but is not greater than 192.168.1.253 (and should not end in the number 1). You shouldn't have to change the linksys router as long as 50 clients are assigned in that range. You'll have to figure that out by accessing your router webpage at browser address 192.168.1.1 -> the default password is "admin" (without the quotes).
    Good luck.
