Win8 Reset and Speed Question...
I noticed that after Windows 8 Reset, computer seemed much faster. I was wondering what caused the speed increase and if it would have been something I could have done myself without the Reset. My computer currently has 12GB RAM and can expand up to 32GB... Should I add more RAM? Thoughts appreciated

Re: profile reset and speed too slow Again
I have just signed upto BT phone & Broadband, my line was connected on the 29th June 2012. Since then i have nothing but problems. No proper phone line until the 6th of July, thankfuly thats working well now.
Broadband was promised 17meg as im only 380 meters from the exchange, well thats what the engineer told me when installed the line.
I have raised a number of queries with customer support, first one got closed off with out being resolved, so now have raised the same issue again. So now have a new ref number
Problem being i only get 2.6meg download & point 0.83 upload speed, returns the same result which ever speedtest site you use.
I am now going to ask what my profile is & request a new one, I am spending every night on the phone to BT being told different stories.
I was told i will get a call back tomorrow at 4pm to find out if its improved at all, i don't expect a call back. As no one ever does. Im sorry BT when it comes to customer service you fail in every area.
I am in the process of wrinting a letter to your CEO Ian Livingstone to complain the way i have been treated.
If you have any ideas what the issue maybe then please feel free to post something of use, But if you are going to tell me to do a wired connection or reset the router & switch off for minutes & then try again. Please don't bother as ive been there & have a number of T shirts to show for it
Regards
a disgruntled BT customer, who is at the point of being an ex Bt customer.

Can Apple reset and/or find Apple ID information?
My husband and I share same iTunes account attached to the same Apple ID that he uses for iCloud. We created another Apple ID for a 2nd iCloud for me to back up my phone. my phone was having issues so I backed it up to the cloud and erased it back to factory. Attempting to restore my iPhone from my icloud it seems that i remembered my iCloud ID or password, incorrectly. I even double checked my iCloud info from settings before attempting to restore. I didn't write it down b/c when I saw it, I was sure I had it memorized.
I attempted to reset my password, but seems as though the only email attached is the @me account I used for this iCloud. And if it is working and sending a reset password email, I can't sign into the email account because I have my ID or Password incorrect! Even the security question I'd wrong. I got locked out of the account for 8 hours. I called iTunes support and explained the situation, they tried havi g me do all the reset and security questions again....but like I told them I was locked out. They told me to call back in 8 hours. I am afraid they will have me do the same things and I will just be locked out again.
So I am not sure what to try next. I recently upgraded my iCloud for more space also. It seems to me Apple could access the ID we use for iTunes and see the 2 iCloud accounts and would be able to use the security info from the iTunes and my husbands iCloud that I could provide to be able to tell me if my iCloud ID is incorrect or reset my password.
Has anyone had luck with getting back into an account?
I mad an appointment at the Apple Store thinking I may have better luck explaining this situation in person, do you think it would help?Thanks, I wasn't sure. It just seems like support was not understanding my situation clearly. Just kept asking for my Apple ID and to reset my password. I will try again. Just wondering if anyone knew if this is something support had been able to solve for anyone else or give advise on how to get them to understand what I need.
Thanks for your input. -
I have no "Rescue email" contact in order to reset my security questions!! I've been trying now for 4 days to contact Apple/Itunes but I only get sent answers from a support team that say they cannot help me with my problem!!
The thing is that I can't ever remember answering any security questions and without a rescue email, I'm unable to reset them or even set them for the first time!!
I can't believe that no-one from Apple/Itunes can help me with this simple problem but unfortunately that is the case - Incredible, isn't it!!!
Would anyone know how I could solve this problem online??? Because each time I sign into Itunes, the same security questions reappear and reappear and reappear. In fact I've got to the point where I feel like uninstalling Itunes and downloading an alternative.
Many thanksYou need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I'm trying to reset my security questions because I don't remember them. But every time it says they have been sent to me. I never receive them and I know for sure I'm on the right email address. Help!
You can contact iTunes Support and have them reset them:

Here is my problem:
Need to change my email with the one that currently I'm using for rescue
Planed to change first the rescue email with a new one.
But:
I Forgot the security questions
Followed the reset security questions instructions.
Got the email on the rescue address but The link I've got on my rescue email to reset my security questions is invalid. By now the 3 hour window for the validity of the link is gone.
If I go via Apple ID, I login successfully but when I select Security I'm thrown back into Manage your Apple ID screen that displays now as well this message "An unknown error has occurred"
Tried several times, the same again and again.
On top of the long hours on the forums I spent 20 minutes over the phone with the US support on international charge, eventually I hanged up while waiting too long for the 3 rd expert but got an email later on indicating to clear my browser history and try again, which didn't work. Case number 519598448. Used my laptop with IE and my iPad, same result.This problem now appears for me too.
When using iforgot.apple.com email-verification clicking the reset link results in the "Invalid Link" error.
The error, that caused me to do this (password failing to verify against iCloud) has vanished since though. -
So I have a couple issues and I am extremely frustrated, I'm about to smash all of my apple products.
First issue is how do you reset the security questions? Can't seem to find the "forgot answer" of anything like that.
Second is my old comp crashed so I backed up my iTunes to an external HD, got the file on the new computer, installed iTunes, got alot of my old music from iCloud, but didn't get all my music so I went to add a folder like the support thing I found said, but there's only an add file option, do I have to add each song?
Is there a way to get the songs from my iPhone to the iTunes library? It has all of my music on it as well
Thanks
MikeFor the security questions......
On your computer or safari on your iOS device navigate to:
For Canada - https://appleid.apple.com/ca.
For United States - https://appleid.apple.com/us/.
Click the "Manage your Apple ID" button, and sign in to your iCloud account. Once in, on the left side select "Password and Security", and this will populate our options on the right side. You should see an option to reset your security questions.
Also see this article about your "rescue email address" - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312.
If for any reason you can not reset these security questions, or get an error, then you may need to contact Apple directly - http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57. Explain the issue, and they can get your to a "Account Security" agent, who will be able to verify your identity, and assist in resetting the security questions.
For iTunes....
Is the music you are missing purchased from the iTunes store? If so
you can Download Past Purchases - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519. -
I forgot my security question and my rescue email are the same as Apple ID so cannot reset my security question. Any advice on how to reset m security or add a rescue email ? Thanks
If you don't have a rescue email address then 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 use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use -
When I tried to create and apple id using my gmail account i found that somebody has already created an apple id using my gmail id. So I gave forgot password option and reset the password of the id. But for resetting the security questions, link is going to some other email id which is created by the other guy. Now the problem is that the other guy also can reset my password and access my account.
I contacted apple customer care and they are not ready to help me saying that I need to give information about the last device I logged in using this id. How can I give it when I did not create it?:) Also they are saying this account has been verified and that could happen only if someone has hacked my gmail account and verified the id using the link sent by apple.
Later I did some experiments and found that this is a security flaw from apple. Somebody has created the id and never used it(I tried to loggin to icloud and it was saying this account was not used it any apple device). The account became verified when I reset the password.(This is a bug, account should be verified only when we click on the verification link sent by apple).
The other mistake apple did is that they allotted my gmail account to someone before it's verified eventhough it cannot be used unless verified. Actually apple should allot the account id only after verifying the email address.
Apple customer care is not ready to help and I am tired of fighting with them. Can any of you guys suggest any means of getting back my gmail id to use it as apple id?I don't think you're going to be able to. I would guess the other person used your address by accident, and when he found he couldn't access the account (because you'd changed the password) he abandoned it. Your GMail address is now locked to that account and even if it was changed you can't use it to create another.
You already have an Apple ID, which you use to log in here; you can use that to create an iCloud account if that's what you are trying to do. If you want to create a different Apple ID just get another free address such as a Yahoo one. -

Hi,
I forgot my security questions and I don't have a rescue email setup.
I serached the internet and the only solution I found for that is to call apple. The proble is there is no phone to call, they have to call you and there is a list of countries.
I live in Lebanon and it does not appear in the list of countries listed for apple customer support call.
How can I reset the security questions.
thank youThe Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
ID security questions' and click 'Continue'.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

Why is it, every time I click send e-mail for instructions on resetting my security questions, I don't get them? I just want to play minecraft. I already put $15 in my balance and I can't even spend it. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Either they're being sent to a different email address, or got caught in a spam filter, or something's wrong at Apple's end. If you can't find the email, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions, which can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.

I need to reset my security questions, but can I message support by text and not call or if you can tell me how to reset my questions here that will be great and I don't have a rescue email.
If you've forgotten the answers, you can't do that yourself. Click here, tell the iTunes Store staff that you can't call, and see what they say.

There are several different methods. Try one. If it doesn't work,
then try the next one. Don't try to do everything at once.
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Manage My Apple ID
Note: you may need to continue entering false answers to the questions until you trigger the response needed to start making changes. It will take six or nine retries.
Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
If all else fails:
1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
3. Then choose iTunes Store;
4. Then choose Account Management;
5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
Continue;
6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
like your security/challenge questions reset;
8. Click Send/Continue.
You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
"done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends!
