I not so recently changed my email adress I associated with my Apple ID and my iCloud ID. My old email still shows up for iCloud, and won't let me change it to my new email. When I try to delete it and replace it with the proper email, it wants my password, which it won't accept because it's an invalid username.

I had this same issue and got it resolved very simply when I contacted Apple SUpport

  • HT4527 My old itunes has already been deleted, so all of my music is still on my ipod, but it won't let me transfer it to my new itunes because it says it will delete it all, what do I do?

    My old itunes has already been deleted, so all of my music is still on my ipod, but it won't let me transfer it to my new itunes because it says it will delete it all, what do I do?
    I can't sync my ipod because then it will delete everything

    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.  the sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • Since the iOS 7 update i cannot log into my icloud. Seems I have two iCloud loggins. One old. one new. When I try to delete the ol from my phone it does not accept the password nor will it take my info to reset my password.

    At one point I had set up my itunes and icloud with an old email address. I have since shanged that to a new email. iTunes works fine and I can log into my new iCloud on my PC but my phone will not allow me to delete the old iCloud email without the password. I select to reset the password but the system will not accept my birthdate or security questions. All happening after i did the iOS 7 update. Any thoughts? Thank you!

    1) Did you change that old email address to your current email address to be your current Apple ID?  If so, try to enter your current password for your current Apple ID/iCloud account.  If it doesn't work, try #2.
    2) If you don't have access to your old email account.  Same process, go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign in your current iCloud/Apple ID then edit it to your old email address then Save the changes.  DON'T sign out yet.  Go back to your iOS device then delete your iCloud account.  Once deleted, go back to the Apple ID website and rename it back to your current email address.  You have to verify it this time and you will be able to since you have access to that email address.
    3) If your answer to #1 is NO, contact Apple Support (Account Security Team) to help you reset its password but you need to have another email address available which is not yet an Apple ID to send the password reset email.
    Hope this helps!  Cheers!

  • LV 8.0.1 chrash when I try to delete a flat sequence frame with contens.

    Dear LabVIEW users.
    I found another bug in LabVIEW 8.0.1.
    When I try to remove the first frame of a flat sequense that is filled with controls
    LV crashes. After dragging the code and controls out of the first frame (its empty
    now) I can delete this frame without a crash.
    With kind regards

    Hi Martin,
    I just tried removing the first frame from a Flat Sequence in 8.0, and I did not get a crash...the frame was full of control terminals.
    Perhaps you could give some more detailed instructions on how to reproduce the crash?  Better yet, perhaps you could attach a simple VI that demonstrates the problem?

  • My finder keeps asking for my password when i try to delete things. and when i do enter in my password nothing is deleted. i tried going into terminal and typing in su, but it wouldnt let me type my password

    .

    Never empty the Trash in the shell (Terminal.)
    1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/.Trash
    2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Show Info
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
    3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
    4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
    5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
    6. Close the Info window and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

  • When I try to delete events on my iPhone calendar, the event momentarily disappears, but comes back within a second.

    The title says it all.
    I'm having my iphone calendar sync with my google calendar. I had a repeating event that I tried to delete - I tried deleting both just this event, as well as trying to delete all future events, but either way, the event is only temporarily deleted. It disappears for a bit, but reappears almost instantaneously.
    Any ideas?
    - will

    To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the camera. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider

  • When I try to delete an audiobook I can remove the content ok but the cover art is left and I can't figure out how to remove it.  Ant suggestions?

    Its gone from itunes on my notebook but the art stlll appears in the audiobook section of itunes on the iPad.

    Hello Suddsjack,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:

    Before you delete, be sure you have a backup of the audiobook. You will need to repurchase it if you want to download it again. To delete an audiobook:
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap the More category.
    Tap Audiobooks.
    Tap and hold the audiobook you want to delete.
    Tap the "x" that appears on it.
    Best of luck,

  • Changed my appleID and password but old one still comes up for iCloud how can I fix this problem

    I changed my apple ID and password because I couldn't answer the security question they were over 15 years old and they also had my sons name as authorised to make changes after I got verified with new info I went to iCloud and it still had my old info and I can't sign into that now please tell me how I can fix this problem
    Signed very frustrated iPhone 4S owner of 4 of them

    the appleID is the connection between the device and icloud and what apps and media itunes store see that you own
    if you change appleID you start from scratch
    settings->store->appleID is where you remove what appleID your ios device see as yours

  • For several weeks, Thunderbird downloads the same emails more than once, back to back. Also when I try to delete messages, "Thunderbird does not respond."

    The entire screen whites out when I try to delete or open another email. The margin above the File button shows that "Thunderbird is not responding." Finally, a new window appears in the middle of the screen asking me if I want to close Thunderbird. I am not sure if this problem started when I renewed my McAfee Total Protection program approx. 2 months ago. I also have over 1000 messages saved in both received emails and sent emails. I would like to just highlight a full page of them and delete all messages at once, but this is not possible.
    Thank you for your time.

  • How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? Because of the update on apple ID, when I try to delete icloud account I have to put in the password, and it says username or password is invalid (because no longer apple ID).

    How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? When I try to delete icloud account (in settings-icloud-delete account) I have to put in the password for the apple ID of my old email address, which is no longer my apple ID, and it says username or password is invalid (I'm guessing because that is no longer my apple ID).

    You will wait for the rest of your life. You need to fix it; no one else will. To turn off "Find my iPhone" and its associated Activation Lock you need the Apple ID and password that were used to turn it on. If you know the Apple ID you can contact Apple Account Security and have them reset the password (after you prove you are the rightful owner of that Apple ID). see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
    If you don't know the Apple ID the phone is permanently unusable.

    Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder (or whatever it is called by yor provider) so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails

    When I try to open an .ai/pdf file received through my email, it won't open and asks for a password. I have never set up any kind of password for email security, but have tried typing in my standard passwords. Nothing works. I wonder if it has anything to do with the use of my Wacom3 Tablet...I've been having trouble with it and was getting the same message when trying to open the User's Manual in my Applications/WacomTablet file on my hard drive. Any suggestions? I just downloaded the latest version for the Wacom and recently upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (which I hate, and my CS3 hates, etc.)

    It sounds like you have a a password-protected PDF. The password was set by the person who encoded it.
