  • HT1414 How do I change my original Apple ID to my new email address? I have changed it but when I go to the App Store, the old id keeps coming up and I no longer have a password for it. Therefore I can't download anything.

    I have tried to change my Apple ID and was successful but when I go to the App Store my Apple ID appears as the old one. I no longer have a password for it. Now I can't download anything. What do I do?

    Your apps were purchased under the old ID, so they will have to be deleted and re-purchased/downloaded under your new one.

  • HT204053 I changed my Apple ID to reflect my new email address but it does not allow me to change it in iCloud or my iTunes account on my iPhone.  Can anyone help me with this?

    I recently changed my email address and have changed my Apple ID to reflect that.  My itunes account will work on my PC with that new ID but my iCloud will not.  Also, my iPhone will not use my new email address for either itunes or icloud.  I don't know how to change it.
    I read that if, on your iPhone you delete your iCloud account, you just open a new one with your new email address.  Is that true, and, if you do that, do you lose your photos on your iPhone.  AND, if you lose your photos on your iPhone, will they be pushed back to your iPhone if you manually sync your phone and PC? 
    I am hoping someone out there can help!
    Thank you.

    If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name.  (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
    If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library.  If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account.  To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • TS3988 I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud?

    I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?

    Same question Wish someone had replied!
    I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple!

    Welcome to the Apple community mohinderjeet.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • My email address has changed and when I try to play purchased songs it asks me to authorize another computer under the old email address.  How do I play the music that I have purchased?  My account is current with the new email address.

    My email address has changed and when I try to play purchased songs it asks me to authorize another computer under the old email address.  How do I play the music that I have purchased?  My account is current with the new email address.

    You may have already done this, but try de-authorizing your computer (through the iTunes:Store menu) and then re-authorizing it.

        Hi there T&P63385!
    Look no further! I have the answer for you! You can add a new email account to your android device by following these steps: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31401
    Now I do want to let you know that your phone has a "main" gmail account. If this "main" gmail account was the one you deleted it may be best that you reset your phone and activate it to your new gmail address.
    The reason I recommend doing this is all of your purchased application information is also tied to your gmail.
    Ensure your personal information is backed up (contacts, pictures, etc) and follow these steps to Hard Reset your phone:http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31308
    Let me know if you have any other questions!
    Thanks,

  • I need to know how to change the identity (email address) used for the iTunes store as I no longer use that email

    I need to know how to change the identity (email address) used for the iTunes store as I no longer use that email.

    Settings > iTunes & App store.
    Tap AppleID, sign out then sign back in.
    The Apple ID is right everywhere else. I've synced the phone. I've reset it in Settings on the phone. I've changed it at Apple.
    When you write, "I've changed it at Apple, this means you updated yoru old AppleID or you ceated a new AppleID?

  • HT5616 I changed my apple I'd to my new email address, how do I up date my apple I'd in icloud

    On my iPad, I changed my Apple ID to my new email address. How do I update my Apple ID in icloud

  • I am trying to delete my icloud account on my phone. Its wanting me to sign in with an old apple id that is an old email that is no longer active. How do I get it to let me use my new email address?

    I just got a new iphone 5C. I am trying to clear my old phone and delete the icloud account. BUT on my old phone in the icloud settings it is still wanting to use an old email account that is no longer active, therefor it wont allow me to sign in and delete the icloud account. and it wont let me change my email address to my apple id that is current. suggestions?

    Go to Settings, and then turn iMessage and FaceTime on if they are off.  If they are on, then turn them both off, restart the phone, then turn them back on.
    Go back to Settings > iCloud.  Whether the current or old email address is displayed there, try your current password.

  • I changed email address and had to delete my account and create a new one with the new email address. When I did this i lost all of the information in my calendar. How can I recover this vital information?

    My email address changed and I had to delete my account and create a new one with the new address. After I did this all of the data in my iPhone calendar is gone. How can I recover this vital data?

    It is my understanding that if you delete the account per the instructions below, you will be able recreate, but you will NOT have access to the prior BBM contacts.
    Read this for full information and suggestions to regain access to your BBID >> http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-World/How-to-regain-access-to-your-BBID/td-p/25467...
    You have to remember either the BlackBerryID password, or the secret question answer. Without either, you're stuck.
    Your choices are:
    --Use another email account to create an entirely new BlackBerryID (with which you will lose access to any purchased apps using the "forgotten" first BlackBerryID, or
    --Find the initial email you were sent to confirm the initial BlackBerryID, and in it is a link to click to cancel and delete the account. Click on that, delete the account and then you can use that same email to create an entirely new account.
    Good luck.

    what can i do?? how can they send me the email to confirm tthe new email if i cant access to my acount?

    Have you already checked your spam folder? (Sometimes the conformation email gets clarified as spam.) If you did not receive anything then just sign in to your Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com and you'll find that on that page, it's said to verify your email account, which is what it's attached to your Apple ID. Click the verify button and then check your inbox of your primary email address.
