Lost old Apple ID password,Apple ID request/did password change,still can't access old ID

-Went to update some iPad Apps
-Said I had to sign in with Apple ID
-My OLD email/Apple ID showed with the prompt for the password
-I entered what I thought the OLD ID password was
-Prompt said it was wrong, tried options, still wrong
-Prompt said I could change my password
-Changed via an email sent by Apple to my NEW email/Apple ID
-Went back to sign into my iPad under my OLD email/Apple ID with the new password
-Still rejected. Most likely because the password change was for the NEW Apple ID but had to try.
-Tested the NEW password under the new Apple ID and it worked
-Soooo....I can't get into my apps, under the requested OLD Apple ID because I don't have the OLD password and there's no way to change the OLD password without knowing it.
-So now I can't update important apps such as iOS Numbers, iOS Pages and the like..........
Any suggestions.................?

HT5312 No matter how many times I reset my password, I still can't access my account. PLEASE HELP. :(

I had to make this new Apple ID because I can't access my old one.
I forgot my password to my original Apple ID so I followed all the instructions on iforgot.apple.com
After I got the email confirmation saying that my password was successfully reset, I tried out my new password but it kept saying 'Your AppleID or password was entered incorrectly.'
I did this numerous times before. I even tried to get help from Apple Support through email but no matter what I did, it was useless. Please, anybody, help, I'd still like to use my old Apple ID. Thanks.

I seen this many times, and in just about all cases, it's the user resetting a different AppleID than what's being used for the iTunes account.

Set up new apple ID on Mac Air, unit still can't access photos,some email, comes up with old apple id, needs password (which i don't know) just want to get rid of old apple ID on my MacAir

need to get rid of old apple ID, don't know password, already set new id and password on MacAir, but i am unable to access some photos, etc

In order to change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

HT204053 I changed my apple ID email address, and now I can't access my iCloud because it was listed with the previous email address. What can I do?

If the old ID ("email address") is an earlier version of your current ID, go 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.

I have enabled homesharing in iTunes (from the advanced menu) and then used the same details when enabling homesharing on the Apple TV (settings computers), but I still can't stream my itunes to ATV. Does anyone have suggestions to resolve?

I Am having the same issue. Ie on the password issue.
I Am using a Macpro though.
i Have had no issues with the setup until recently.
However I think the hard drive is starting to fail as it keeps on losing the wireless connection and gas been stuttering a lot on playback.

HT1925 I was trying to make sure that all my Apple software was uninstalled, and I still can't remove C:\Program Files\iPod\. I went to the Task Manager and it is not listed in the Processes tab. What do I do now?

Are you looking for iPodService.exe?
Might be better to run services.msc from the run dialog and shut down the service polietly.

Same here. I'm thinking there's something going on with the iTunes store right now and that it's not just you.

I have just acquired an iMac desktop. I want to sign on to my airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network.

I have just acquired an iMac desktop (about 4 years old). I want to connect to my Apple airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network and don't want to jeopardize what already works well. I am not all that computer literate.

How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it.
Read the user manual that came w/your Airport router or you can cross-post in one of the AirPort Forums for instructions.

I have changed my password and still can't get homesharing to work. Get the message "Homesharing could not be activated because the account or password was incorrect. It's what I have used to sign in here!

I have changed my password and still can't get home sharing to work. Get the message "Home sharing could not be activated because the account or password was incorrect." It's what I have used to sign in here! Any help much appreciated.

So I reset my Apple ID password. Which then stopped my MobileMe account from working. Hang on - these were 2 different accounts a while ago, with different passwords!!!
So I have logged back in to MobileMe with my AppleID, and that's working again. After a short wait I can now create Home Sharing again.
Folks, I think we have just had our Apple IDs merged with our MobileMe accounts!! With no consultation or warning.
My guess is that this is the most seamless way for Apple to do it, as the vast majority of people use only one email address and one password for everything. Only those of us who had the same email adress but different a different passwords for MobileMe and Apple ID will have noticed. Annoying for us few, but a clever strategy on Apple's part, becasue we have been driven to fix the issue ourselves by chaning the password, and in doing so we have realised that our mobileme account is now the same thing as our Apple ID.

Have changed password. Still can't download as it will not let me get past the Name/password screen.

I have gone through all of the hoops to download the latest Adobe Flash, but can't do it.
I have gotten the emails. Changed my password, but still can't download.
My name comes up when I go to open to install, but maybe that is incorrect.
However, I have worked on this for over an hour now and am ready to quit as I follow the directions and still can't download.
Very frustrating as I just want to contact somebody who can help me. Thanks.

You might want to check if it is your computer security requesting your system password and nothing of Adobe.
There is not normally any requirement to provide a password when installing Adobe software. Can you explain what you are trying to download (Flash Pro or Flash Player) and other details. There are normally no emails involved either so your mention of that is a wonder as well. Why you say your name comes up when you go to install is also a wonder since you say you are unable to download.

You need to restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer, hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click Restore button of iTunes.

Hi there,
When you enter your username/password combination for the first time Firefox will ask you to remember it. Clicking yes will result in FF filling it in for you on your next visit. Please keep in mind that cookies must be enabled in order for this to work.
