A Glitch in Apple's User Database, Perhaps?


A. Contact Apple Support:

I would contact Apple Support, asking them if there is a glitch in their user database. It should not be going across multiple accounts. If need be, perform a screensharing session with them, so they can see this firsthand, from your perspective.

Apple Contact Info:

  • Contact Us - Choose Locations
  • Proceed from there, as necessary
  • Why the Wait: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)


B. Use a Computer for this:

To troubleshoot your eMail, use a computer to perform this, as it would be more user-friendly doing so.
