TS2446 Why does't apple use my phone number to verify who I am, my iPad is on lockdown

I don't know how it happened. I was hacked on my PC. And I wanted to make sure that I did not effect my iPad. So I switched new address, new usernames, and passwords. I can respect the fact that apple is securing my well being ( In cyber world). Then apple Id put a block. That was three days ago. How long do I have to wait? A time would be helpful.
   Next all/most of my apps don't know my new user name or password.I've spent most of my time restyling my username and passwords. I was seeing double! After all that I did get my Appleid back and it remembers me. Why can't ITunes?

You say that your account is blocked and that you have your Apple id back (?).
If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.

  • Why can't i use my phone number in imessage

    I've tried everything, I just can't get my iphone4 to use my phone number but not my email address. This is so annoying. Does someone have a fix for this?

    Settings > Messages > Receive At > Caller ID.  Then select the number.

  • Why won't messages use my phone number as my ID for my messages when I have it set as the default?

    I have gone through all of my settings since updating to iOS 8 and I made sure my phone number is listed as my default caller ID for messages and facetime (meaning I have logged out and back in again on my phone, iPad, AND Macbook....) but it's still using my Apple ID e-mail address and when someone texts me to my phone number it sends it as a text and not an Apple message.

  • Why does iphoto not accept my phone number when filling out shipping info for buying cards??

    Im trying to generate some thank you cards in iphoto 11 and when paying for them, it wont accept my telephone number in the Primary number box, which is in the delivery contact bit in the shipping information box. The telephone number keeps going red and i cant get any further with ordering the thank you cards. I have been to Itunes to check my billing and payment information and im using the same telephone number so i cant see why it wnt do it?? Please help as these thank you cards are from my kids to grandparents and other family members and my wife is getting irate at me, because i havent done what should be a simple thing!!!!!
    Many thanks if you can help.

    Try going to the Apple store (store.apple.com) and re-entering it in your account there and be sure that one click ordering is turned on and try again
    Also I'v eseen reports that number of digits can cause this if you are in an area that uses a different number of digits - I believe that someone reported that they had to move one digit to another field to get it to work - you might search the fourms for that post

  • Can I use my phone number in imessage for both iphone and ipad in the same chats?

    I want to use iMessage from my ipad with my phone number not with my e-mail because most of my friends have not my e-mail under my name in their phones.
    So what I want to is being able to talk in the same chat from my ipad and iphone with out showing my e-mail to the person who I'm talking with because that making the chat appears one to me but two to him.
    Thank you and sorry for bad English ;)

    On I pad it only work with E mails because the I Pad is not associated with your cell phone number.

    Any & all help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance...
    Regards Alan...

    You will need to take this up with Apple - we are just users here, so we cannot help with such questions. If this is your iTunes account, then I'd start here:

  • Why does my email, not my phone number, display to the recipient when I text message them?

    I want my number, not my email to show up to the recpiant.  How do I change it?

    In regards to iMessage - Settings > Messages > Receive At > Caller ID.
    What is selected for Caller ID?
    This has nothing to do with regular SMS/MMS.

    You can link the phone number to the iPad again, if you follow the instructions here.

    The relevant information for you will be at the end of the article. You may have to sign out of messages on the iPhone and the iPad and start all over again.

  • Why does my 4s allways  shows the number instead of the name from mt address book like my 3gs did

    Why does my 4s show the phone number all the time when i receive a text or a call, instead of the name that is in my contacts ? Thanks Russ

    The only way to see the contact name is for the information coming from Caller ID to match what is entered in the contact exactly. If it does not, then it would not display the name. Check to make sure what you are seeing when the number comes across that it is matching what you have in contacts. This includes the prefix as well.

  • Why does the apple tv light come on when I'm not using it?

    Why does the Apple tv light come on when I am not using it?

    my atv1 does that sometimes
    I'm 90% sure that it's because it crashed and rebooted
    it's basicly a computer and sooner or later a computer will
    crash unless rebooted

  • Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. Why did this pop up today?

    Why did this pop up today?
    Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone.

    Turned on my Mac Pro a few minutes ago and I got the following "POP-UP" message.
    " Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. "  ( my iPhone is not new. )
    " If you recently signed into "xxxxx  iPhone" you can ignore this notification."
    On the bottom of this pop-up window is an "OK" button.  Well it's NOT "OK"  No option is offered if it is not "OK".
    I have made no changes to my iPhone whatsoever.  Just normal use today.  In my iCloud settings everything is turned off except sharing Contacts.
    I'd suggest you log on to iCloud.com with your Apple ID, and then go to Settings and look in the "My Devices" settings for anything you don't recognize.
    I just did this. All of the devices are iPhones, iPads, and Macintoshes that I own and am familiar with.

    Hi SLCfromMadison,
    This is the message that you'll receive when your Apple ID is signed into on an iPhone. If you haven't done so, the article linked below details a number of steps that can help verify the security of your Apple ID should you think that an unauthorized person has access to it.

    I had an iphone 4s and it worked nice with facetime and imessage using my phone number but  it was stolen on December so I buy a new iphone 4s using the same cellphone number  but now imessage and facetime does not work with my number, it only works with my apple ID.   Please Help me I speak Spanish so  if my English is not ok  I´m sorry about it.
    Do you think that apple has to   reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s?? 

    I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more.  I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
    Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......

  • Why does my apple tv keep dropping out of home sharing.

    why does my apple tv keep dropping out of home sharing.

    I use homeplug powerline adapters to create my home Lan. I've never had any problem with my ATV 2.
    This isn't ideal either, I would rather have shielded CAT7 cables reach all the way to my modem.
    Either way, wired solutions are more reliable and have a higher potential speed as wireless uses pulsed electromagnetic radiation as a means for transportation in stead of copper or fiber optic cables
    The World Health Organization's IARC has recently classified radio frequency electromagnetic fields as possibly level 2 carcinogenic to humans, concluding:
    "the evidence, while still accumulating, is strong enough to support a conclusion and the 2B classification. The conclusion means that there could be some risk, and therefore we need to keep a close watch for a link between cell phones and cancer risk."
