I have a TracFone with Android 4.4.4. On Tuesday, when I tried to check my emails, a "cannot sign in" message appeared. I've spent hours on the phone with TracFone, and now, after resetting all information as they instructed, I have a blank screen and can't access any apps, including Google. I'm unsure how to reset the phone to retrieve all my data, including my emails. I primarily use my Charter Communications email, while my Gmail is rarely used. I'm not very tech-savvy, so I need patient and detailed assistance to resolve this issue.

Hello, I am experiencing difficulties accessing my work's Instagram account linked to my Gmail. I recently delegated social media responsibilities to a new hire and am unable to recall the login email and password used for the account. Attempts to seek assistance from Instagram directly have been challenging. The email address used for the Instagram account is approximately 9 characters long, beginning with an "M" and ending with a "6." The associated Instagram username is BREWERSTOWNETAVERN in all lowercase. I am willing to provide any necessary additional information to regain access to the account, which is vital for my work responsibilities. Your prompt assistance would be greatly appreciated as I urgently need to resolve this issue. Thank you for your help. Best regards, Megan S.

I accidentally deleted all my emails while clearing out junk, trash, and archived messages. I have checked all my devices and my online Gmail account, but nothing seems to have any emails showing. I rarely use the online account, maybe six times a year at most. I am extremely reliant on these emails and urgently need to recover them. I am confused about how this happened and would appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this issue. How can I get in touch with someone for assistance?

If someone from Google sees this, please contact me directly or pass it along to an internal employee. Contact me at [redacted].

I am really hoping someone can assist me with my Instagram account issue. After getting a new phone, I had to reinstall the Instagram app. Unfortunately, all my new photos and contacts are gone. To make matters worse, I am unable to access my account due to a password error. The email associated with my account is correct, but I mistakenly added an extra letter "c" at the end of ".com". This error is causing my email to be invalid. I am wondering if there is a way to retrieve the code that Instagram has been sending to my email. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I need assistance with recovering access to my Gmail account. I recently obtained a new phone number and cannot receive a verification code on my old number ([redacted]). I am unable to access my Gmail, [redacted], since all the necessary information is on my broken old phone. I have forgotten the password and the recovery email password. Even though I remember my security questions, they were not helpful. As this Gmail account is essential for managing my bills and rent payments, I urgently need to regain access. Please advise me on the steps to take.

I inadvertently discovered that I am subscribed to MiniClip 8 Ball Pool VIP without my consent and have been charged £7.49 weekly since 12/19/18. A total of £29.96 has been withdrawn for a subscription I did not knowingly sign up for. I am requesting to be unsubscribed and to receive a full refund since I did not receive any confirmation regarding this VIP membership. I am quite disappointed and concerned by this situation and feel a sense of distrust towards the organization. I believe this might have occurred when an advertisement appeared as I logged in to play, and I quickly proceeded to the game screen after seeing the cost. I am shocked and upset about this and worried that it might affect my ability to cover essential bills. Assistance with resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Google's online store is currently offering an "ex-gay" app that promotes harmful conversion therapy for LGBT youth. This app, created by Living Hope, spreads damaging messages by likening homosexuality to addiction, disparaging LGBT individuals, and belittling transgender people. Despite alerts to other tech companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, who promptly removed the app, Google has stayed silent. Supporting such detrimental programs goes against inclusive and diverse values. "Ex-gay" programs are discredited and can lead to severe mental health issues. Removing this app quickly is crucial to prevent vulnerable individuals from being further harmed.

My Gmail account, which is linked to my Adsense Administrator Account, was hacked a few months ago. The hacker changed the recovery email and phone number, making it impossible for me to recover the account. While I have another email associated with the Adsense account, it's not an administrator account, so when I try to log in, I receive a message stating that the AdSense Terms and Conditions have been updated. Unfortunately, I'm unable to confirm or accept these terms due to the account restrictions. I've attempted to open a new Adsense account, but I'm being denied approval because the system recognizes that I already have an existing account. I believe that if I can regain access to my original Gmail account, I can resolve this issue. I have my Adsense publisher number and emails as proof of ownership for the account. I hope to receive assistance soon. Thank you.

Hello, I'm Janice R. I have a Google account under jl*****[redacted] and I'm trying to assist my friend, Arnold S., who resides in a convalescent hospital. I got him a Samsung tablet for Christmas and set up a Gmail account, [redacted], for him. Today, I attempted to log in to his Gmail account but couldn't recall some security questions I may have set up. I am the only one who has used the account, and now I'm trying to recover it. Gmail asked if I have the Samsung tablet with me as it wants to send something there for recovery, but the tablet is at the center, likely uncharged. I'm unsure how to proceed with this request. I'm seeking advice on how to handle this situation before I make the journey to help my friend. I appreciate any guidance on clarifying the recovery process and these questions I have. Thank you.

I am having trouble setting up Outlook [redacted] with either POP or IMAP. When I attempt to log in, Outlook keeps showing an error message and prompts me to either retry or modify the settings. I double-checked the email address and password to verify they are entered correctly. Initially, I modified the POP/IMAP settings in Gmail and enabled POP. However, after saving the changes and logging back in, the selected radio button was deselected. I attempted to update the settings again with no success. I then tried configuring IMAP, but Outlook [redacted] still could not log in. Here are the Outlook setup details for both POP and IMAP: POP: - Incoming Mail (POP) Server: pop.gmail.com (SSL, Port: [redacted]) - Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.gmail.com (SSL, TLS, Port for TLS: [redacted]) IMAP: - Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server: imap.gmail.com (SSL, Port: [redacted]) - Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.gmail.com (SSL, TLS, Port for SSL: [redacted]) Thank you.

Hello, my name is Aziz Karim Benjamin. I recently moved to Brazil from Ghana and unfortunately lost my phone. I am trying to recover my Gmail account, [redacted], as it contains important contacts and messages. Despite having the correct password and security question, Google couldn't verify my account as I can't access my previous phone or recovery email. I have verification emails from various services linked to my Gmail, which could help confirm my identity. I urgently need access to my account while being away from Africa. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, my name is Aziz Karim Benjamin from Ghana, and I have recently moved to Brazil. Unfortunately, I lost my phone and now the only way for me to sync my data is through my long-standing gmail account, [redacted] When attempting to sign in, I was prompted to recover the account.

I possess the correct password and can confirm all necessary information to recover the account. Thank you for your assistance.

After creating my Facebook account, it was quickly hacked multiple times, leading me to create new accounts on Google and Facebook. The situation escalated, and I even resorted to getting a phone under a false name, but that didn't solve the issue either. Currently, I have various accounts, but I aim to consolidate them into one. My only goal is to browse the internet securely without the fear of being hacked. I seek assistance to streamline and secure my online presence efficiently.

I have submitted multiple requests without receiving any response. I encountered an issue related to accessing my [redacted] account. I changed the password on November 28th, [redacted], but was incarcerated two days later for ten months. Upon my release in October, I couldn't recall the password. My recovery phone number [redacted] is no longer active, and the recovery email, [redacted], password eludes me too. The recovery email for that account is [redacted], which I can't access. I've tried various passwords and provided other account details that I struggle to remember. The yggs64 account holds significant importance for me as it contains years of photos. I've listed some potential past passwords for your reference. Your assistance in recovering this account is greatly appreciated.

I previously used two email addresses: "[redacted]" under the name "Diane Harris" and "[redacted]" under the name "Traci Smiles." They both had two-step verification and were backups for each other. Unfortunately, I lost access to my old phone number [redacted], and the system now requires texting for verification, not suitable for my parents' landline [redacted]. Despite answering security questions and inputting verification codes, using backup emails like "[redacted]," and trying old passwords "hogtieme14u" and "huckleberry101," I haven't been able to regain access. I fear crucial emails and photos may be lost. Here are some personal details like my mom's emails "[redacted]" and "[redacted]" for verification. Please assist in recovering these accounts; they hold significant sentimental and practical value. Thank you for your attention and assistance. Traci Stevens [redacted].
