I can't sign into iCloud because my Apple ID doesn't work there. For some reason it gave me a .mac email and I don't remember the password. When it gives me the option to reset my password, it's my Apple ID password which I don't want to do.

What do I do?

I changed my I'd and password but for some reason it still shows my old ID and I can't access my app store. Please help

I changed my apple I'd and password because my old ID was not working, but for some reasons I can not get into my app store with the new ID and pass. Please help

Anybody can access the App Store - even without an Apple ID.
What are you saying? You cannot access your purchased apps with your new ID? If you are, that is the way that it works. If you set up a new Apple ID - you can't update the apps that you bought with the old ID. You have to continue to update the purchased apps with the old ID and password since purchases are always tied to the ID that made the purchases.
If you need to sign into your new ID you can do that in Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap th old ID and sign out then sign in with the new one.

Hello Martin,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iCloud account on your Mac. I recommend signing out of iCloud first:
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.

If you are still being prompted for your password, I recommend the steps in the following article (this article refers to an iOS device, but the steps are still relevant for your Mac as well):

Can't sign into iCloud in the pref pane.

I can't sign into icloud in the pref pane. I get a pop up asking me to log in again and under the username and password it says my user or password in invalid. This is kinda curious since I can login with the same user/pass to itunes store and icloud on my ipad. On my wife's user account I was able to set up her icloud with no problems. Any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem. Did you find any solution?
All services connected to my Apple-ID works fine, apart from login into iCloud prefpane.
I tried creating a new user, and that could actually log into my iCloud account. But my main account is having this problem though.

I can't sign into iCloud. It says the maximum number of accounts allowed has been used. iPad is secondhand. How do I clear it of previously used accounts.

I Can't sign into iCloud. I get a message saying that the maximum number of free accounts has been reached on my device. It is a secondhand device that had been wiped. The seller has no idea why this is happening.

Thanks for reply. I can't get find my iPad. I've just looked in App Store to no avail. My daughter in law says I need to sign in to iCloud for that an that's not possible. My phone is an android an finding apple very difficult to use but she has phone an pad an she connected my pad to laptop to try an sort it with no luck. She also sent some docs to my kindle app through iTunes. I just tried to update Amazon an got asked for password for her email address instead of mine. This iPad is a nightmare. thanks anyway from Sally.

I just figured it out. I had to manually delete my Mobile Me account from my iPad before signing into iCloud. Problem fixed.

Do you have 2-step verification on for your Apple ID? I may have a solution.
When I upgraded to Yosemite and subsequently updated my Apple ID, I would get errors when I tried to sign into iMessage and FaceTime using my apple ID (and my new password), I similarly was not able to sign in. On FaceTime, I would get errors like "unable to sign in at this time" or some times just nothing at all (the spinning 'processing' graphic would grind away until it presumably just timed out).
Turns out that I enabled 2-step notification on for my Apple ID (totally forgot about it, I set it up a couple years ago), and apparently the regular Apple ID password that you choose is not usable when you try to log in to iMessage or FaceTime through the programs themselves (intuitively, this makes sense since these programs do not have a way to prompt you for the "2nd step" code).
To solve, you have to log in to your Apple ID online (appleid.apple.com or whatever), and look for the option to "Generate App-Specific Passwords". These are unique, random passwords which are made to work around issues like these since they can be used in iMessage or FaceTime or what not. This is the same idea as to what you have to do to log into gmail on your iPhone if you have Google 2-step verification on.
This solved my issue (after lots of swearing and hair pulling!). Would have been nice if a I got some sort of warning when updating my Apple ID password that "Hey, you have 2-step enabled. Go make some app-specific passwords or you will lose 5 hours of your life trying to solve this mystery"
Hopefully this may solve yours

I can sign into and use iTunes but I can't sign into icloud.

I can sign into and use iTunes with no trouble but I can't sign into icloud. It makes me think I must have a different password. I go to the reset password area and choose via email but the email never comes. It's not in junk. I don't know what to do

Hi Adam ...
Make sure you have logged out of the iTunes Store then try logging in to the App Store.
And try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store. Click Account right side of the App Store window and see if you can login.

I changed my Apple ID today and now I can't sign into iMessage because it still shows my old ID. How can I change this??

Did you purchase Apple Care? If you did, you still have access to Apple Support. If not, go to your Apple Store and let them help you get it set up correctly. I'm sure it's something simple we're missing. Good Luck.
Do remember one thing. iMessage on iPad only works with other iOS devices. This means you can only text to people who:
1. Have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch
2. And they have upgraded to iOS 5 or higher

My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer. For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it. I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud. How do I change the Apple ID (not the password)?

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.
