I recently changed my password to my apple id and was able to log into everything fine except the icloud on my ipad.  It reverted back to an old apple id and I don't know the password.  I have tried all the suggestions and no luck.

You didn't say what you've tried, but f the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Hi Baem_leeds
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you change your Apple ID you will need to sign in with the new information or password the next time you use an Apple service or feature that uses Apple ID. If you have multiple devices that use features and services that require an Apple ID, you will need to sign in again on each device.
    The links below will provide additional information:

  • I have lost my toolbar and task bar. I have tried all the sugestions on this site to no avail. I don't know how to try a system restore with out them.

    I was enlarging pictures on Facebook to full screen. When i went to move on. All my tool bars and my task bar have disappeared. I have tried all the suggestions on this site to no avail. I don't know how to do a system restore without my task bar, and don't want to lose my book marks. Please help, i can't grt to my important favorite sites.

    Can you launch a new window (Ctrl+n for a normal window, Ctrl+Shift+p for a private window) that has the usual complement of toolbars? If a new window also is missing bars, try using the View menu > Toolbars list to restore them. If the classic menu bar is not displayed, usually tapping the Alt key or the F10 key will show it temporarily.

  • I can't add a scene, I don't know why. I have finished making a scene and I'm trying to start a new one but the option to insert a scene is not highlighted so I cannot carry on :( please help

    I can't add a scene, I don't know why. I have finished making a scene and I'm trying to start a new one but the option to insert a scene is not highlighted so I cannot carry on please help

    you can't use scenes in html5 projects.
    that's also no significant limitation because there's never a situation (afaik) where you need to use scenes.  they are strictly a convenience for designers.
    i don't know any programmers that use scenes.

  • My Wife got an iPhone at work. IT set it up the first time on another machine, they finally install iTunes on her machine but I don't know if she can sync without loosing Photos, SMS, and other things. She had six months of stuff on that phone?

    My Wife got an iPhone at work. IT set it up the first time on another machine, they finally install iTunes on her machine but I don't know if she can sync without loosing Photos, SMS, and other things. She had six months of stuff on that phone?
    The problem is she can't update to new software until she connect to iTunes, but she don't want to loose all that info.
    My question is:
    If she register her apple ID on that new computer, and sync the phone, will she loose everything? or iTunes will back up first (because apple id match) and then sync.
    Otherwise, how can I do it? The closest apple store is 3 hours away. thanks!

    Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise her phone will be wiped during the following sync.
    If she has data on the phone she wants to save, back up manually:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to her new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing. Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

  • Hi, I want to revert back to my old apple id password (6 digits). The complicated password now is not very user friendly to me.

    Hi, I want to revert back to my old apple id password (6 digits). The complicated password now is not very user friendly to me.

    Sorry I misinterpreted what it was that you want to do. The following gives the current password requirements: Security and your Apple ID - Apple Support
    There isn't any way to have a 6 digit numerical password -- as you already found. With the amount of password hacking going on currently, I suspect that if you were able to change it back you would be putting your account at a significant risk. You are being forced, but I think Apple is doing that with good intentions and that it is in your interest. You can complain (provide feedback) at https://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html

  • I don`t know how but I have lost all my photos that were in iTunes,any ideas please as to how I can get them back.

    I don`t know how but I have lost all my photos that were in iTunes,any ideas on how to retreave them.I have tried deselecting the all folders when it starts syncing but it wont let me.

    Please explain your problem better. There a no photos in iTunes.
    You can sync photos from your computer to your iPod via iTunes. You select in the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes what folder of photos to sync to the iPod.

    make sure it's not being connected to by any of the other two
    one can only connect 1 device at the time and just by waking up sometimes a headset connects to a device
    automaticly
    then forget the bluetooth device in OS X and put the headset in pairing mode / discovery mode and connect with it once again with the mac

  • Can't play purchased songs even on an authorized computer.  I have tried all the fixes with no help.

    I just recently purchased a new computer running Windows 7 64 bit.  I downloaded the latest edition of itunes, and transfered all of my old itunes purchases from my XP computer onto this new computer.  The problem that I am having is that I am being prompted for my password everytime I try to play purchases on this new computer, even though I get a message telling me that this computer is already authorized to play purchases under this account.  Whenever I try to play the song, I keep getting this same message everytime I enter my password.  It also seems I am unable to deauthorize the machines that were authorized using one of the old accounts that I made purchases on in the past.  When I go into my itunes account under the username and try to "deauthorize all computers" nothing happens, and it still tells me that I have 5 out of the available 5 computers authorized, even after I try to deauthorize all of them.  I have mainly noticed the problem on the older songs that I purchased.  Most of the recently purchased songs don't re-prompt me for my password when trying to play them.  I have tried all the suggested fixes on the support webpage such as deleting the "SC" folder and changing the security slider settings, but the problem keeps coming up.  Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to fix this problem and how to try again to deauthorize all computers and then reauthorize this particular new computer running Windows 7?  Thanks for the help!

    Oh, and I checked here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939 and you are correct!
    I do have an iPhone 3G not a 3GS.
    So does that mean that I cannot get any later software than iOS 4.2?

    I recently bought some new albums and can't play them on my ipod

    I just encountered the same problem on my 2 month old MBPro.  I found a work around by changing USB ports.  As for the actual cause or the reason why that worked, I dont know.  The USB port I was using works fine with my phone or other USB devices.

  • Sync not working for long time (have tried all the usual suggestions)

    Sync stopped working for me months ago and I have not been able to get it to work again.
    I'm using Firefox 26 on two different Linux laptops and want to keep the bookmarks and history synced with them. It worked great for a long time. Then around Firefox 25 or so it stopped working. In fact, I logged into an old Linux system I hadn't used in while that still runs Firefox 24 (or maybe it's 23) the other day and it synced great with my laptop I usually use.
    I have tried all the suggestsion in the troubleshooting guide (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-sync-troubleshooting-and-tips). I tried unlinking all of my devices and linking them again. That worked to sync both laptops once, when I first relinked them, but never again. I tried creating entirely new profiles on both systems and that didn't help.
    Is Sync just broken? Why does it continue to work fine in older version of Firefox but none of the last three versions or so? Is there any way to fix this?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the replies.
    I am not using a proxy server.
    Neither system is syncing with the other. It seems like they are both uploading (backing up) the history and bookmarks properly, but then not merging and syncing the changes from the other system. I know things are getting uploaded, because as I said, my third system that I don't use much anymore, with the older version of Firefox, does merge changes in history and bookmarks from the other two systems.

  • Flash plugin has crashed and I have tried all the solutions given on the site..never happened before until i updated firefox for the past 1-2 months?

    Flash plugin crashes a lot more frequently since I updated it (the past month or so??) I have tried the latest Firefox version 3 and updated it to version 4.
    I have tried all the solutions given such as complete uninstalling or changing the integer to -1

    I'm not sure anyone here knows more about the Java plugin than you do...
    Were you starting the control panel from disk as administrator because it didn't work starting it through the Start menu (if you have Control Panel set to View by Category, the Java control panel is under "Programs").
