Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

<Edited by Host>Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Posting your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile.
You should start by changing the password on your account.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security. -
I have a new laptop and I cannot get my iPhone to sync to it?
I have managed to copy my library to the new laptop.Are you saying that iTunes isnt recognizing your phone?

I can't access certain links from sites, especially with a lot of graphics. I get messages to the effect that I need to upgrade my browser. But then the update says I need a 10.3 Mac or higher. Also any site with a lot of graphics takes forever to download. Is there an intermediate update that I could use instead for my Mac?
For Mac 10.2.8 you need Firefox 2.0.0.20 as Firefox 3 will NOT RUN on your Operating System.
Download Firefox 2.0.0.20 from HERE.... http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Follow THESE Instructions to Install... http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Mac_OS_X
BUT This is scheduled to be the LAST release of Firefox 2, so you will need to upgrade youur computer to receive further updates. -
Just like the subject line says, I reset my iPhone 3g which I just bought from a friend for $50. The device worked just fine and then I performed a complete reset on the phone. The one that says it may take up to two hours... Well I left and came back about 8 hours later. I pressed the Home button to view the screen and I now see that my phone is "locked" and I can only make emergency calls. There was no cell service before but I was still able to browse the phone and use it's features.
Now I can do nothing with the phone, I have tried to force it into recovery, I have performed both the soft and hard resets and I am at a loss. I have always been against anything Apple as an IT Professional and now this reaffirms why. My EVO from HTC (Linux based) has never had one single problem and I have rooted it, flashed a new ROM and flashed a new Kernel.
The iPhone was not even Jailbroken or unlocked. And to make it all worse, the only language that it displays is Spanish?!?! ***???
Why didn't the iPhone tell me that it was going to ruin my device and change the default language to Spanish instead of simply stating it would take two hours?
I have worked on this phone all night, now I'm out of $50 and was going to sell this on eBay for an easy $250.00. What the heck is wrong with this POS? And why won't Apple offer any support without having to pay them? If I pay them for support and then they can't get it to work then what? I'm screwed their too?
There is nothing left to do but smash this thing, I wish I would have never bought it, and I even wasted $20 on a new home/car charger for it. I'm so mad I can't hardly stand it. This is why I ONLY use ANDROID based devices and I recommend that you ALL do the same!
But, if anyone can provide any insight into this issue it would be much appreciated. It's just not fair that it sits with this stupid "connect me to iTunes screen" yet does nothing. AHHHHHHHHHH!
Please HELP ME SOMEONE!!!!
By the way, I have tried ths on my Windows 7 PC and my XP laptop. Same result. iTunes and the computer will NOT recognize the device in any way no matter what mode I start the phone in. It just refuses to work.

- If not success and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain and then try again.

Do I have to uninstall old Brother printer before installing new one?
I have a Brother all-in-one MFC420CN that has seen better days. Just bought a new Brother all-in-one MFC-J615W. Do I have to uninstall the old one before installing the new? If so, how do I do that and how do I make sure I've gotten rid of everything connected wtih the old printer?
You don't have to uninstall the old printer. It is not going to cause you any trouble, just make the new printer the default one. If you want to uninstall it, go to System Preferences>Print & Scan. Click on the old printer and click the minus sign on the bottom.

How do I transfer back up data from my old time capsule to my new one easily.
How do I transfer back up data from my old time capsule to my new one easily.
Before you do this, do you really need all of the old backups that go back many weeks and months? Most us only ever need to go back a week or two to pick up a file that was accidentally deleted, but that's about it.
Sure, It is tough to think about deleting all the old backups, so a suggestion would be to keep the old Time Capsule around for a month or two....just in case....but start new backups on the new Time Capsule. Once you have a month or two of backup history on the new Time Capsule, then you might decide to erase the old Time Capsule and sell it....or just keep it around as a spare hard drive.
I've tranferred backups a few times in the past, and used up a lot of space on the "new" Time Capsule to do it, and have found that it is far more trouble than it is worth.
But, you may disagree. -
Hi. I tried to change my old icloud account on a new one. After reset the settings I need to enter my old Apple ID account and password, that I don't remember.
I do not remember it because when I bought the my iPhone 4s in 2011 I didn't understand how it works and asked a representative to set it up for me. The representative helped me and gave a piece of paper with login and password but I lost it a long time ago.
Before resetting the settings I turned off "Find my iPhone" function, but it anyway asks me to enter my old Apple ID and password. I have the original box, documents, receipt. So how can I solve this problem?You do not have to call US, but you need to call. Or else.

I had an iPod touch, but it was stolen or lost. Now that I have a new one with a new Apple ID, is there someway I can access and download all my old photos and data from my old Apple ID to my new device? I still remember my old Apple ID and password.
Restopre from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also,
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

I BOUGHT MY 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTERS A IPOD TOUCH FOR THEIR BIRTHDAY, THE SECOND THEY BEGAN TO PLAY WITH THEM THEY BOTH SET PASSWORDS TO ENTER THE IPOD HOME PAGE, WELL ONE OF MY GIRLS FORGOT THEIR PASSWORD AND NOW IT SHOWS THAT THE IPOD IS ENABLED... HOW SHOULD I GO ABOUT THIS?
You will need to restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

Forum Tip: It is generally considered inappropriate to type all in uppercase letters in Internet discussions, as text that is typed all in uppercase is by convention considered to be shouting. Uppercase is also more difficult to read, so please use all uppercase sparingly and only when you really mean to shout, which we hope you won’t need to do here .
Also, please note that you posted in the iPhone forum.
