When I create a new apple ID with a different email, it tells me that this email is already in use (I have never signed up for an itunes account prior to this). I then clicked on the "forgot password" link, but I never got an email. What do I do now

To clarify: the apple ID I am currently using was created to have a temporary account.

  • I do not use or have not signed up for a MobileMe Account but I am getting duplicates in my iCal for some reason.  All discussions I read are pointing to the MobileMe being the problem but it is not.  Please help me.  There must be another reason.

    Hi JkeeneSoldano,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    To regain access to your Apple ID, try to reset your password using one of these methods:
    Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
    Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
    Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
    From:
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    If you need to use the email verification method but don't receive the reset email, see this link for more help:
    If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support

  • I want to create a new apple id with another email, It says email already in use...

    I want to create a new apple id with another email, It says email already in use, but there is no account with that email( i use it for facetime and get apple offers) What do i do?

    You can check to see if it is associated with one of your IDs by following this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625, and entering the email address at step 2 to see if it finds an ID owned by you.  If it doesn't, contact the Apple account security team and have them check into it by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Apple ID account security.

  • I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help suiting the old apple I'd because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions

    I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

    You cannot do that.  The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address.  The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well).  You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
    You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
    I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

  • HT1176 I am trying to add my iPhoto library to files to be backed up on time machine. I am told to click on the Options Minus butto, but it is greyed out. What is the solution ?

    I have been trying to add my iPhoto Library to files for time machine backup.
    I was instructed to click on the Options minus button - but it is greyed out and not functional. 
    What is the solution ?
    Your help will be much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    You can "see" the iPhoto library in Time Machine backups, but you cannot "open" the library or "browse" the contents while you are in Time Machine.
    Apple makes you restore the entire iPhoto library to another destination...like your desktop....if you want to retrieve a few older images that you may have deleted by mistake.
    This is a convoluted mess, but unfortunately, that is the way it is.
    See Pondini's excellent, detailed information on this:
    http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
    You might also want to post in the iPhoto support area to see if the experts over there might have a workaround for you. I cannot find one, but I'm not an iPhoto expert.

  • HT5622 I am trying to update the apps on my MacBook with my Apple ID, the one I created long ago when I got my first iPhone. Although when I first got my new MacBook I created a new apple ID with a email address I hardly ever use, and a password I can't r

    Yes, well I ignoratly created a second Apple ID when first setting up my MacBook, and when I go to the "My Purchases" in my Mac App Store, and it shows the apps I've uninstalled, and the apps that are available to update. When I tap on the update icon/text I get a drop down notice, telling me that I have other apps that can be updated using the Apple ID I used to purchase the *apps* in Mac App Store. As far as I am aware  I have only used ONE  Apple ID to purchase Mac Apps, iPhone Apps, and iTunes. I have tried MANY, MANY times to find my second Apple ID. I've gone through and used every email address I making sure non of them were my second Apple Id's . SO is there anyway that I can update my apps using my main apple ID?
    Best Regards,
    Anna Grace Y.

    What are the names of the apps?
    So you are saying that you only ever used the old Apple ID to buy content on the iPhone and the Mac? You never used the new Apple ID to buy content for the Mac?

  • TS1368 I have authorized 5 computers for my itunes account and cannot authorize any more computers.  However, two of my computers had hard drive crashes and I can't go to those computers to deauthorize them so I can add new computers.  How do I do that?

    I have authorized over the past years a total of 5 computers, two of which bit the dust.  Apple will not allow me to authorize any more computers because I've maxed out the limit of 5.  According to the instructions, I must deauthorize the two computers that crashed to allo any more computers to share my music, videos, etc.  I can't deauthorize the two hard drives that "crashed", so how can I authorize any more computers?  Help.

    Once per year you can deauthorize all five computers regardless of whether they are still in service or no longer in your possession. You can then reauthorize the computers you still use.
    In iTunes Store click on the Account link under Quick Links.

  • When i create a new apple id and after agree the terms it will show that ask to enter email adress and password when i enter new one it do not want to accept

    please help me

    Are you entering your Existing Email Address for which you have Access and also are you Entering the Password which Matches Apple Requirement ?
    Enter the Email Address that you already have (like Gmail, Yahoo, MSN, Live, etc) but you have never used it for creating Apple ID before.
    Passwork Requirement is Minimum 8 Characters, Alpha Numeric and Password should Content atleast 1 Upper Case and 1 Lower Case Letter. You will find the more detail on the same page when Creating Apple Id and iTunes will give you Error if the Password you enter does not match their requirement.

  • When I got my mac i created a new apple ID with a new email.  all of my iTunes are on my old ID/password which I do not remember.  how do i access?

    My old computer was a PC and my old email no longer exists so to reset the password the pasword email would be sent into oblivion.  help!  I want those songs - many of which I paid for!

    Not long ago iTunes changed the security by asking three personal questions AND filling in an alternate email address. Did you?
    Also, hopefully, you de-authorized the old PC before you gave it away...

  • Is there anyway i can create a new apple id with my outlook email

    somebody help me before this ****** me off!

    Texting to and from Canadian cell #'s is included in your unlimited texting plan.  CALLING is another matter, and the info is here:  http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/global/international-long-distance-and-messaging.html?country=canada
    Looks like you can get 1000 monthly minutes to and from Canada for $15, and the texting is unlimited.

  • HT1766 I am trying to restore my new iphone from a previous backup but itunes is asking for the backup password. But I never had one.

    itunes is asking for a password for the backup that I did not set. I can NOT set up my new iphone and restore it from an old backup. What can I do?

    This message is asking for the password that was added when the backup was first created IF you don't have this passcode you will be unable to restore from this backup.
    Good luck Friend.

  • I click on the video camera link but nothing happens.

    I'm unable to use the video function on my iPad version 7.  Still camera works fine, but when I click on video, nothing happens or changes.  I do not see the video camera icon on the screen.

    Is this problem with Windows 7 on a non-Apple machine, or with a Mac?  Mac OS X 10.6 can't run on a non-Apple machine, but Windows can run on a Mac machine with virtualization.
