You are sign in here .  .  .  with your Apple ID & Password (?).

Your Apple ID is the personal account you use with all Apple products and services. It includes the email address and password you use to sign in, as well as the contact, payment, and security details that you use with Apple.

You can’t merge multiple Apple ID accounts.

Very easy... you can send an email or personal information

No, not via email.


I thought maybe my account have been hacked,

No, if you haven't jailbroken your iPhone, it's not possible.

 

I bought in US a antivirus

FYI: Most antivirus apps for your iPhone or macOS aren't really designed to find viruses. They are often security programs that bundle multiple functions to justify the price asked. It is quite difficult for security software makers to make a really good antivirus app, because Apple has pretty much boarded up the system.

Thank you Raicya for your replay

I sign in here ...with a new Apple ID and password...

without, I can not have any help.

Thank you very much indeed for your time and patience, I really appreciate.


Only now, I realised, than my frustration and disappointment

make me speak with disillusionment to solve my problem,

Talk from the end or give only a piece of information, doesn't help.

I will try to give a full picture.

All my problem-s is start about 14 November early morning With Mac os Monterey update,

After the update my MacBook asks to sign in to my Apple ID, with email and password.

After two attempts with the password... (I have to say I have bad memories, but I am sure the password was right).

Apple ID Locked your Apple ID has been locked for security reasons. to unlock it, you must verify your identity.

Very easy... you can send an email or personal information...I chose the email but not new email there are come in any more.

I checked my email ...@mac.com I can't send o receive email (the username or password for iCloud is incorrect).

Apparently my recovery ID was set on my main email. I was sure in the past it was set on different email ...@msn.com.

ok ok ...not panic, now I chose different option... Personal information... I did in the past, did worked ,It will work again.

...there was a moment I had a cold feeling... you know something is start and you don't quite know... what exactly is...

... it is not the end of world ...just the beginning of end of one world.

... I checked my iPhone, iPad, iPod, old Mac , old iPad ... with All find my phon on all with similar problem .

I called and chatted with apple support...help...after 20 times I stopped calling out of shame.

every string I switch I come to Square one with this two options email or personal information ... not luck 🍀.

I thought maybe my account have been hacked, I bought in US a antivirus but I was not able to download the app

Apple App Store doesn't give me the chance to download any app and less to update all the apps recorded with my Apple ID.

I hope you o someone understand what I tried to say ... the English is not my first language.

...I tried to find something or someone...

...I lost myself.

Thanks.
