TS4644 I put the wrong phone number in iCloud keychain.

How can I change the phone number that I put when setting up iCloud keychain?

Wrong phone number for iCloud Keychain

Hey so I just got a new iPhone 5c and it's asking me to use a security code for it and it sent the code to my other phone number. Is there a way it can transfer to my new one?

Quoted from another thread. This worked for me. Best of luck.

Re: Cant activate keychain cause the phone number on my iCloud changed! Tips?in response to randers4
Already did that and still does not work. But I have found a solution:
On the iOS, when typing the iCloud passcode (4 digit), go to the "I forgot my password" option. You will be asked to repair the keychain saved configurations, choose yes. Then, type a new iCloud passcode (or the same as the previous one) and, finally, your phone number. Your mac should be able to see your iphone now to finish the keychain activation.

I accidentally put in the wrong phone number in to verify my iCloud Keychain... How can I go back and fix it?

So I updated my iPhone5 this morning to iOS 7.03 right, then it asked me for my phone number to verify my iCloud Keychain. The problem with that is that I accidentally put in the wrong number. How am I suppose to fix that? How can I go back and put my actual number in?

Autofill puts in wrong phone number

Autofill under Lion insists of putting in my fax number as my home phone number in forms under Safari. I changed the order of phone numbers in my Address Book, tried all sorts of other things, but it continues to use the wrong number as my phone number. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Someone said, INCORRECTLY, the following:
"In Safari, go to Safari / Preferences / Autofill.
Click the first Edit - there are three of them. You can change the info that way."
That was labeled as having solved the problem. SO I went to that Autofill screen, but that has many phone numbers and many email addresses, and Safari Autofill now often grabs different ones, not only the second entry, instead of the primary one. So we are in agreement, and this should have been fixed by now with the opportuntiy to check off which entry you wish to have Autofill use.

My iMessage is stuck on the wrong phone number and I keep getting coded text messages from SMS Info.

I recently switched the sim card in my iPhone when I moved from one country to another. When I put my local sim card in iMessage would not activate (just staying on 'waiting for activation' forever). This has not been a problem before. When I went to send/receive I saw the phone number there is still on the old one from the country I left. This is not the case in phone settings when I look for 'my phone number' or in facetime, which recognise the new number.
Plus I keep getting text messages from 'SMS Info'. They are just code, except that in there my new phone number is included among the code. The only other discernible characters are the letters 'REG-RESP?'. Perhaps this is something to do with an error in registering my new number.
I have tried-
1. Turning it off and on again.
2. Turning iMessage off and on again. This results in the usual 'it may cost you to reactivate with an SMS' popup on my phone screen, then a popup saying there has been a mistake, then one of these coded SMS messages.
3. Doing the above in combination with logging in and out of my apple id (as suggested on another forum post here)
4. Removing the new sim card and replacing the old one. Then turning off iMessage, replacing the new sim card and turning iMessage back on (of course powering the phone down and up)
None of these remedies have worked. The iMessage problem is affecting all sorts of my messages. Windows keep popping up saying that I may have to pay for an SMS to activate iMessage, except that it doesn't activate. The SMS messages from 'SMS Info' keep coming and I can't seem to get any of it to stop an just work normally.
I have looked in these forums already and can't see the same problem elsewhere. If someone could figure this out I would be most grateful.

Hi,
When a Mac is "registered" for iMessages account with an Apple ID the Serial Number of the Mac is used to create an Auth Token as it is called for the Messages app that allows that Mac to work.
I would guess a similar process of linking the Number of the iPhone to a Hardware fact about the device is also in place.
I would contact Apple Support and check with them. (you might need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are script led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware categories where as sorting and Apple ID (which the Number is in this case) is normally Free).
I did find this iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
It starts off about sorting SMS that is not working.

My message center in settings shows the wrong phone number, how do I change it

Under settings, messages, send and receive. The phone number listed is my husbands number. How can I change it to mine? It was originally listed under my number.

Go slightly deeper into the settings. You should be looking in Settings>FaceTime>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at.
If your phone number is no longer listed as one of the options in that setting, you may have to turn off messages on all of your iOS devices and start all over again in order to make both phone numbers available and accessible for FaceTime and Messages.

Apple put the wrong serial number on my replacement MBP invoice

Hi all.
In short - I purchased a MBP early 2011 which I needed to return for replacement 3 days later. This was done on the spot and a replacement invoice was to be emailed to me. I purchased AppleCare with my original MBP and I was told that this would automatically transfer and be registered with my replacement model. I must say I was pretty impressed with the speed and hassle-free nature of the service (for my first ever Mac as well).
Unfortunately, I have just checked the status of my Apple Care and noted that it was listed as expired !!!
Doing my research, it appears that on the invoice for the 'replacement' unit they sent me, they listed the original (faulty unit) serial number for both the unit that was returned, and the replacement unit. This was obviously an error because they gave me a brand new unit in a new box and I am typing on it right now. I also noted that they 'returned' my old AppleCare Agreement and applied a 'new' AppleCare Agreement (with new agreement number) but it has the returned MBP serial number listed (not the new one) !!!!!
I am looking for suggestions on how to get this rectified for the following reasons:
- I need my Apple Care that I paid for to be applied to the correct unit
- I need my current Apple MBP to be registered to me as the owner (I have no idea who they would have it registered to at the moment given the invoice is incorrect .........)
I look forward to any advice you might have, and suggestions as to any problems I might expect in dealing with Apple.
Regards,
Tim

They should be able to straighten things out - be sure that you have all your paperwork together (old sn, new sn, receipt - if you have it - etc.).
Good luck,

How do I change the secure phone number for keychain?

Hi
I was setting up keychain and put in the wrong phone number. Now some random keeps getting my Verification Code for Keychain sent to them.
How do I change this please?!
Thank you!

Why do my contact photos keep getting assigned to the wrong person/number?

This has happened to me twice recently: my phone rings and the wrong contact photo appears with the wrong phone number. All my contact photos are assigned to the wrong person/phone number. Any ideas on what's going on? Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.
Can I get this straight in my mind? Does this mean that I will have to put ALL the photos stored on my Laptop into ONE large folder, then divide it up into sub-folders? Then I can copy each sub-folder?
Sorry to sound stupid, but most things I try on my ipod don't seem to work for me. I think I am getting a bit old for all this.....lol.
.......Actually thinking back, a while back I did click on my main folder called "Nikon" and that did copy everything in it, but just in one whole lot, ie 1,000 photos.........................so nothing was sub-divided into folders, ie. holiday 2010, holiday 2011. Is that another problem I have created for myself?
Thanks for your patience.

TS4062 new iphone lists wrong phone number when trying to sync with itunes

I received my new iphone 4s in the mail and when I try adding it to my itunes for syncing the wrong phone number shows up. The phone works and the number is correct but the one Itunes recognizes is a different number.

I received the phone by mail. I had ATT activate it with my old phone number I had on a blackberry. Everything works fine. The number under settings>phone> my number is the correct phone number.
It's when I try to add this phone to Itunes with a USB cable, itunes recognizes a different number. So i'm guessing the sim came with that number and when ATT activated the phone with my correct number, that this number is still in the phone memory somehow.
At ATT they say the phone is fine. My new number is recognized and works properly. It's just that when adding it to my itunes the new number is not recognized on the initial setup screen.
I'm not even sure this matters but itunes recognizes this phone with a different number than the one that works.
