Why was I sent an email about resetting my apple ID password?

I updated some apps on my iPad and suddenly there was an email in my box called HOW TO RESET YOUR APPLE ID PASSWORD. Why?

Dunno for sure, but don't click any links in that mail.
Go to your computer (if you have itunes on your computer) and log into iTunes that way. It'll tell you if you need to change things.

HT201303 I get several messages each day about resetting my Apple ID password. Should I care?

I have no idea where to put this security question. So I guess it could go here.
I have accounts for iPhone, iPad and for program development.
There is no clue if someone is attempting to hack my password or if they do believe that my username is theirs. Any way they seem not to give up trying.
Should I care? Should I do something?

Just what do the emails say?
Could somebody be attempting to change the passwords for you account?
Without knowing more all I can suggest is
Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us

I forgot the answers to my security questions, and the reset e-mail was never sent. How do I notify apple that they never sent me the reset e-mail? Thank you.

I'm trying to download apps on my new iphone 5s, and I forgot the answers to my security questions. The reset e-mail was never sent. How do I notify apple that they never sent me the reset e-mail? Thank you.

Hello there, movies989.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great steps for issues with Apple ID security questions and contacting Apple Support:
Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
Of particular use in your case:
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

I cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase "" by a computer or device not prev assoc

i cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, which died. Ive managed to save the hard drive and transfer stuff across. I ended up smashing my phone and could update all other stuff on restore but cant sync any music. It is all grey at the top of the screen. Ive re installed itunes and cleared all phone data. Now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase (a song ) by a computer that had not been previously associated with that apple id. So do i have to tell apple now somehow i am using itunes on this pc, and if so how? Because i authorised it and it said this pc was one of 5 aujthorised. if anyone can be of assistance then great!

I'm having a similar problem. I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law & Order. Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy. When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too. No money was removed from my iTunes account & theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop. I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't. I went to the Apple store & they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help. I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response. Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".

FAQ: I opted out of marketing email from Adobe. Why did I get an email about Elements membership?

Q: I opted out of marketing email from Adobe. Why did I get an email about Elements membership?
A: The email you received was an operational notice regarding changes to Elements membership. Only users who may be affected by these changes received this email.

Hi Steve,
I can personally ensure you get it if after waiting the 60 days you still haven't recieved it yet.
You would also want to ensure:
- You have the annual (yearly) Creative Cloud plan
- You log into the Creative Cloud website from within 3 of the Adobe Touch Apps from the tablet using your Adobe ID associated with your membership
If all this looks correct and you don't recieve an email after the 60 days, send me a private message and I'll ensure you get it.

Has anyone else been getting emails about reseting password

Has anyone else been getting emails about reseting password when they have not requested it? I have been getting several emails for the past couple of days where it says how to reset when I never asked to do so. Is there anything that should be done about it? Or anything apple can do about it for my email is very different and not easy to guess or duplicate.

you got the ping app, this app is sending greeting pings and message of promo price for it in the cost version

Your password was sent to your emergency email address. Perhaps you have an email you never use? I use the free email from my cable TV account as my emergency email.
Your Apple account and cloud account are separate. You could even have completely different user and password. Most of us use the same user ID and password, but they are not the same thing, don't mix them up.
If you can't retrieve emergency email, you will have to call apple support.

I am not receiving the email to reset my apple id

I cannot reset my apple id password. I have requested an email to reset my password about 5 times and still no luck. Yes I'm sure i'm using the right email.

If you have a rescue email address on your account then you've checked the inbox and spam folder on that email account as well ? If it's not there either (and you can't reset your password by answering your security questions) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it for you.

I need to reset my Apple ID password, but it says that my security questions were not answered correctly. The email address associated with the questions to reset the answers is no longer available to me. It is my old college email. Does anyone know how to change this email? The unavailable email is not in my list of emails approved in my Apple ID settings.

You cannot and need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

HT1937 How do I put rescue email to reset my security question password?

How do I put rescue email to reset my security question password?

You cannot(without correctly answering two of the questions) and need to ask Apple to reset them; ways of doing so include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
