Wife's iPhone email address bug -- HELP!

Something odd has been happening on my wife's iOS 5 iPhone 4. She compose an email and where her address is supposed to show (as the person sending the email) instead stands someone else's email address. Said address is in her Contacts app, and when she opens it, my wife's correct email address is listed alongside this person's address. The workaround/fix is to remove my wife's email address from the wrong contact.
Still... this is the SECOND time this has happened. Each time it's a different random person from the Contact book. This is ANNOYING because if my wife sends the email, she does so appearing to be someone else.

That's a regular backup. The question is, did you perform a sync after you restored your wife's phone. If you did, then this backup would have been overwritten. If you have not synced, the you can restore from this backup.

That's a restore backup, restore backups are time date stamped & not overwritten.
Last question, do you regularly backup your computer? If you do, it's possible to extract your wife's backup from your computer backup & use that to restore from.

Need to change the rescue email on my account. Cant remember my security questions & the recue email is my wife's old email address. How do I change my rescue email?

You won't be able to change it until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to update your rescue email address for potential future use

You need to either reset the rescue email address's password(check the site's help for instructions) or 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.

I keep trying to reset an icloud account that is disabled because I forgot the password but is not able too. I tried changing it but there seem to be some mix up in the icloud ID and the gmail email address. HELP PLEASE!!

I keep trying to reset an icloud account that is disabled because I forgot the password but is not able too. I tried changing it but there seem to be some mix up in the icloud ID and the gmail email address. HELP PLEASE!!

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.

Won't let me change my Apple ID email address please help

Won't let me change my Apple ID email address please help I have signed out of iCloud and iTunes. I really need to change the email address as the 1 that is currently

What happens when you try to change the email address ? You should be able to edit your primary email address (as long as it's not an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address) by logging into the account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or by logging into on http://appleid.apple.com
Changing primary email address : Change your Apple ID.

Why can't I access the itunes store when signed in on my wife's Earthlink email address?

I'm trying to setup my iPad 1 for my wife to use and when I sign in under her email address (that has been setup in itunes), I get the "cannot connect to itunes store" message. When I sign in under my email address, everything works fine. What gives?

Baseal wrote:

When you say "her email address" do you mean that you set up a separate Apple ID for her using her email address as her Apple ID? If so, was it ever verified by Apple? Did she get the email verification?
You might look here for some help.

ICloud doesn't like my email address? HELP!!!

I have an apple ID based on my email address, which happens to have a '-' in the domain name.
I set up an icloud account using a different email address at the same domain.
On the iPhone, I can't seem to set up a different apple ID for the cloud sharing.
On the mac, When I try to set up sharing for notes, it tells me to set up a me.com email address. I tried entering my icloud address and I get a cuss msg:
Your email address can only contain [letters,numbers] underscores and periods.
You cannot change your icloud email address after creating it.
How was I able to set up an icloud address that isn't acceptable?
How do I get out of this mess?
<Email Edited by Host>

Now it's gotten worse. I tried to back out of the icloud, and now my calendar is evaporated on the mac (it's still on the phone). Notes and contacts seem to be OK both places.
HOW DO I get the calendar to refresh on the mac from the phone?
By signing your Mac and your iPhone to the same iCloud account, if you can't use your current ID for any reason, make a new account.

HT4436 How can I change my email address? Help?

It appears I have a similar email address to someone and we keep receiving each others mail - so how can I change my email address?

Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account, and if it has @mac.com or @me.com versions these cannot be reinstated once deleted.
More information on aliases here:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
However all this won't stop you receiving emails at the primary address: but you can set up a Rule to move all such messages to the Trash. Go to the Mail page at http://icloud.com and click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left: choose 'Rules'.

Validating email address - please help?

hi,
i have registration form in jsf, and i have a field for an email address, i was wandering if anyone knows how to validate the email address, when this is submitted to a javabean, to make sure it is an actual valid email address and that both email addresses ( re-entered ) entered are the same.
so what i really want is the javacode for the javabean that can validate the email address to make sure it is valid.
any help is appreciated
thanks.

Here's how I did a Postal code validation:
public void validatePostalCode(FacesContext context, UIComponent toValidate, java.lang.Object inputValue) throws
ValidatorException {
Pattern pattern;
String expression = "\\D{1}\\d{1}\\D{1}\\d{1}\\D{1}\\d{1}"; // x9x9x9
String value = null;
try {
value = inputValue.toString();
pattern = Pattern.compile(expression);
this.postalCodeValidationError = !pattern.matcher(value).matches();
} catch (ClassCastException e) {
throw new ValidatorException(
new FacesMessage(
"Validation Error: Value " +
"cannot be converted to String.",
null));
if (this.postalCodeValidationError) {
// Here you do what ever you want when the validation fails
// Like generating an error in JSF ... see ValidatorException
On your JSP page add "validator="#{yourBean.validatePostalCode}"" to your inputText tag.
It would be a good idea to read on Java's regular expression stuff to fihure out the expression you need to pass to Pattern.compile(expression) in order to validate the email address.
Hope this help. Cheers

Forgot my Apple ID password for my OLD email address? HELP

Soo, I'm trying to get started on my iPhone 6 set up and it's ground to a hault as it wants to know the password to my OLD email address which I do not remember. i need this to carry on with my iPhone set up. I'm aware their is a password reminder for my current email address however not for an old email password. I have no way of finding out as it was solo long ago now. Please advise!

What are you actually needing to do? If the issue is Restoring your Backup from an iCloud Account, then yes you would need your Apple ID and Password at minimum. If you are just adding your email to the iPhone 6 then you would need your current email Account ID and Password. Sounds more like an Apple ID Issue.
