Why can't I access my email account after restoring Firefox to factory issue?

I'd been experiencing slowness and crashing with Firefox.
When help recommended restoring the browser to factory issue,
I decided to do so.
I can now no longer access my verizon yahoo! email account.
No prior issues.
I'm now asked to provide my Yahoo! ID and password, which I
did; however, the system will not accept it.
Please help!!!
TIA for any/all suggestions to try.

    Having the email address is not necessary. It is just the username for the device. All you need is that Apple ID and password. Now, if you forgotten the password, then you have more work to do. Since that email is no longer active, you would need to send the reset to your rescue email, if you remember that. Or you will need to contact Apple Security for help.

  • When I began using Iphone 4, my email address was attached to our provider which was Everest (Surewest).  My Iphone still has that email address but I can no longer access that email account and I now cannot unlock my Iphone.  Does anyone know how ?

    When I purchased my I-phone 4 several years ago, our email service provider was Everest.  We no longer use Everest and I can no longer access that email address, but my I-phone is still attached to that email address, so I can not unlock this I-phone.  I have purchased a new I-phone and the same email address transferred to it when the information was transferred from my old phone to my new one.  In order to trade my old phone in for the new one, I must be able to unlock the old phone, which I have been unable to do since the old email address is not available to me.  Please help.

  • Why can't thunderbird find my email accounts

    I open up Thunderbird and it asks me if I want to create an account. I have two existing accounts that access my mail on Time Warner Cable's Webmail. One is PAWilkey and the other is Tx7Phyl. I had 100's of emails in these two accounts. Thunderbird seems to have lost both of them. I am sure that the emails are still on my harddrive but Thunderbird can't seem to find them. Also, Thunderbird only shows the Write Chat Address Book tabs on the bar. All the other items are greyed out. Anybody have any idea how I can get access to my accounts and emails again? I am currently on 31.1.0 of Thunderbird. I had been on 17.0.5 when I first saw the problem. I allowed Thunderbird to update itself in the hopes that it would be able to locate my accounts. No luck there.

    I am sorry to hear about this. Here is what I would suggest you do in the interest of getting access to your email back rapidly.
    I'd suggest [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_backing-up-a-profile making a backup of your profile], then trying to revert to a previous Thunderbird version.
    In Windows Thunderbird updates are automatic by default. To avoid similar situations in the future, you could change that and decide to have a more conservative approach to upgrades.
    You can uninstall the current Thunderbird version via '''Control Panel > Programs and Features''' and reinstall a previous version, download it from here:
    * [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/31.0/ Version 31.0]
    * [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/24.8.0/ Version 24.8]
    Click on the type for your OS. eg: If using Windows select 'win32' then select the language eg: en-GB = English british then download the .exe file
    You can [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configuration-options-updates?esab=a&s=automatic+updates&r=1&as=s customize automatic updates behavior], however, it's under '''Tools > Options > Advanced > Update'''.
    My suggestion would be to set it to '''Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them.''', specially if you depend on email for critical / important business or personal matters.

  • I have an old iCloud ID I can no longer access. I do not know the password to delte it. I can no longer access the email account. Help please.

    Please help. My new Iphone has synced an old Icloud ID and I cannot delete it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    If Settings>iCloud shows and older iCloud ID (email address) as a result of updating to iOS 7, 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, tap Edit, 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.

  • HT1420 How do I authorize music I purchased a few years ago from an account that no longer exists?  The music shows up in my library, but it won't play.  I can no longer access that email account because it was disabled...anyone can help?

    I purchased a bunch of music years ago with an old email account and password and then switched (before I understood about the apple account thing) and now the music will show up on my new computer but I can't authorize it to play because the old account is disabled and I can't remember my password!!!!!!
    HELP!!! 
    Anyone else find a solution to this?
    Am I the only idiot who has done this?
    Thanks in advance

    Hey there~ I had a similar experience, when the email I used to set up the account was hacked and subsequently shut down by Hotmail. If you contacted Support to change the name, but not the email address, you will need to do so again.
    Also worth noting~ if, at any time, you synced your device to your work computer, you'll need to contact Support to deauthorize it and enable your current one.
    Good luck!

  • Why can't I access my adsense account from Firefox?

    My website is on Firefox. It's getting ads on it from adsense, but I can't access the adsense account from Firefox. I can only get there from Explorer or Chrome. I'm also making almost no money, 87 cents, in several months. I feel that the adsense and the website are not coordinating. Could anyone give me some insight into this. I've spent hours and tried everything I know to work out the situation. Please help. Thanks. Mary Ann

    hello mary ann, can you describe in a bit more detail what happens when you try to access the account in firefox (do you receive any error messages or does anything in particular not work?)
    regarding the amount of money the adsense account is generating, we cannot help with that since this is a third-party service - you'd have to contact google's support about this issue.

Can anyone help me out cos now it's doing my head in.
