TS3988 I received an email from Apple that an iCloud email address had been reserved for me. How to I retrieve it to use in setting up iCloud?

How do you retrieve the iCloud email address that Apple said it reserved for you?

Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [select your iCloud account] > Account > Mail (it's under "Advanced").

I bought pages ages ago using an iTunes account that no longer works as the email address has been closed down. How can I now update my Pages app, if it asks me to sign in using this now defunct email address?

I bought Pages ages ago using an iTunes account that no longer works as the email address has been closed down. How can I now update my Pages app, if it asks me to sign in using this now defunct email address?

All apps are always tied to the account from whaich they were purchased and will always have to be updated using that account.
Just because the e-mail account is shut down, has nothing to do with the itunes account. Why did you create a new account? Why not just change the e-mail associated with the old account?

I recently rented a movie using Apple TV and it said it was going to take 7-14 hours to download so I let it run. I also received a message from apple telling me that there was a request for this movie and they took the funds. But when I tried to find it on my purchases it was not there and when I went back to that movie it was asking me to purchase it again is this common and how do I get it back.

Not sure what happend there. But ATV only streams, no HD so if you leave it too long, the whole download gets lost.
Check with iTS.

I got an email from apple that my icloud was full but it's not.

A few days ago I received an email, supposedly from Apple, letting me know that I had reached my limit of free storage on the cloud and needed to either clean it up or buy more storage. I immediately checked my iCloud and was well within my maximum capacity. Has anyone else had this happen?

If the email asked you to verify your account by clicking a link in the email, that was a fake. If you fell for that and clicked the link and provided your account information, you've now almost certainly given that information to crooks. IMMEDIATELY go here:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
and click the "reset your password" link and hope it's not too late and that the crooks have already hijacked your account. If that's the site you used to change the password, then you're probably safe assuming you haven't used a password that would be easily guessed.

How do I delete an old icloud account off my phone if the email address had been hacked and the password has been changed?

My old email was hacked and since then my passwords have been changed. I have a new apply ID which if fine, but my phone is asking me for my old apple ID password before I can delete it from my ICloud. The problem is I cant reset the password and my birthday verification isnt working. I am unable to do anything in icloud because it is forever telling me my password is wrong. my new apple ID seems to be working on every other part of my phone. Any ideas what to do?

Well you can try this, but I'm not sure it's going to work if this is an entirely new ID.
Go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap 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 iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.

I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
On iPhone:
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
On Mac:
Open "Messages" application
Click "Messages menu > Preferences
Click "Accounts"
Select your AppleID account
Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble. If it's green then you are using SMS.

TS4009 I received an email from apple stating my icloud storage was almost full. I deleted apps and photos and the storage has not changed, so what am I supposed to do?

I received an email from apple stating my icloud storage was almost full. I deleted apps and photos and the storage has not changed, so what am I supposed to do?

... I clicked on it (I know I am not supposed to do this - I won't ever do it again) and no window opened up.
You're right - it is never a good idea to click on links sent in an email unless you are absolutely certain they are legitimate, and that is only becoming more difficult as spammers and phishing attempts are getting better every day. Having no association with Verizon is all the more reason to simply delete the thing.
Next, by supplying your email address all you did was confirm to whatever site was sending you this spam that your email address was legitimate. Again, when in doubt just delete the email and forget you ever saw it.
... How can I check to see if my computer has been hacked and how can I protect it further.
The good news is that is highly unlikely. The bad news is that your email address might be used as the "from" address for spam sent to others, and that you are only more likely to get more spam from the phony Verizon site as well as every other potentially malicious operators.
The best advice would be to simply abandon that email address, but if you can live with the previous potential concerns it would be overkill. I would recommend changing your passwords for financial institutions (banks, credit cards and so forth) as well as your email account or accounts. That is simply good practice whether or not you did what you did.
As far as any malware is concerned, again that is unlikely, but make sure you run Software Update to get all Apple's latest updates.

I receive email on my Ipod, but receive no notifications from Apple relating to changing account information

The only notifications I receive from Apple that have worked are related to password changes. I have tried resetting my email and sending a new email out to change account information, but that has not worked. The email from Apple does not appear within hours so I suggest the process hadn't gone through.

What do yo mean by resetting your email?

This is a user to user forum, so no one here can provide an answer. You should contact iTunes Support directly.
Here's how you can do that: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

HT204053 I don't want to receive any SMS from Apple. Could you remove my cell number from your list.

I don't want to receive any SMS from Apple. Could you remove my cell number from your list?

It's been suggested that somehow you may have emails being routed to your SMS, which is passing marketing emails from Apple to your text messaging. Go here:
http://mynews.apple.com/ca/subscribe
and unsubscribe and see if the SMS messages then stop. You can also check your Apple ID:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
and make the change there if you are subscribed.

TS3992 I'm getting messages from Apple that iCloud backup is full but it shows I have 3GB left

I just started getting emails from Apple that I won't be able to send or receive messages thru my account because I have exceeded my storage capacity. When I go to the iCloud settings and go to manage my storage I see I have 3.1GB remaining. I called Apple and they said I need to clear out my folders in mail. I told her it says I only have 376mb of mail in my backup. She told me I needed to clean out all of my folders, which I pain stakingly did but I get an email this morning telling me I have the same problem with storage but I still show over 3GB left in my storage. Has anyone run into this? What am I supposed to do? I feel they are making me upgrade before I need to.

I just got the same e-mail. My account seems to be sending and receiving emails without issue. I think it was an error. I received a warning and an exceeds e-mail in the same minute, but am only using 20% of my allocation.
I'm not giving it much credence.

TS3988 I received an email from Apple that an iCloud email address had been reserved for me. How to I retrieve it to use in setting up iCloud?
