TS5223 After my iphone updated to ios7, it reverted back to my old icloud account which I do not know the password, do not have access to the email it sends the reset to and the reset for security options say my birthday information is wrong.
Help!!! I've lost all of my contacts and information after the ios7 update. After the update I plugged my phone into my MacBook and it reverted back to my old icloud account. I checked my MacBook and everything on there is connected to my new icloud account. I'm not sure why this has happened, but I have been trying for two days to get my new icloud account back. My phone won't allowe to log out of the icloud account it is logged into because I don't know the password. Simple solution, reset the password. Not so simple. I don't have the email address associated with the account anymore. So I attempted the security question option. When I entered my birthdate, it said that it was incorrect. I have tried multiple times and nothing will work. Can someone please help me??
If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

How do i delete an old iCloud account from phone when I forget my password and I'm not able to reset it because my security questions do not match?! Help!! Currently not able to update any apps or icloud info...
If your device is signed into an old ID of yours that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then 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. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device). -

Contact iTunes Customer support... it is not possible to bypass Activation Lock.

Received new iphone 5 for Christmas. Also Blueant Q2 blue tooth ear piece. Phone works great, blueant, not so. Have had numerous emails and phone calls to tech about dropping out. There is no active phone, you are connected and all I have to do is move my head to have either happen. I keep the phone in my shirt pocket and it can't be over 10-14 inches from one to the other. Any thoughts and suggestions???? At $99.99 plus tax just can;\'t afford to hit it with a hammer.
Didn't really read much at all of your post. Much, much too long, irrelevant details and & no paragraphs.

Okay, basically I had a Iphone 4S, but the glass cracked when I dropped it. I went to the Apple store, we changed my Apple ID, I can login, I can do almost everything on the Itunes website, but not from my phone. My Iphone, even though new, seems to think my old Apple ID is still current?
There is nothing on the website to even remotely indicate this old email address is even active - it is not part of my profile, yet my Iphone keep using this emails address???Go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores > Touch AppleID, sign out, and sign in with your AppleID.

I for got the answers to my security questions. I can't retrieve the answers because I don't have access to my old email account. how do I reset my security questions, if I forgot the answers and don't have access to my email?
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I am having trouble removing/changing my iphone id. It keeps reverting back to its previous id. How can I fix this problem?
Jgreg14 you have my sympathies. 36 hours ago while using my iPad I was told that my Apple ID had been disabled. Like you I went to the forums, reset my password, and also like you, nothing changed. I have contacted iTunes support and after 24 hours they responded with this:
Cesar here from the iTunes Store Support Team. Your inquiry is very important to me, so I have requested assistance with the issue you reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available.
Thank you for your patience. Apple wants your iTunes experience to be as enjoyable as possible. Take care!
Boy do I feel special. I sat on the phone to the UK helpline for 30 minutes, and have been told my case has been elevated to "URGENT".
Basically I was wondering if you ever got your problem sorted out? -
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 have an ExportPDF subscription under an old account for which the email does not exist anymore and I have forgotten the password. Therefore I cannot reset the password. I have created a new Adobe account so how do I get the subscription for ExportPDF moved to the new account?
Hi lgmmo,
I think your best best to get this resolved is to contact Adobe Customer Care. Here's the contact info: Contact Customer Care.
A quick Chat session should get you fixed up.
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,

How to remove an old iCloud account from my IPad. The account (email) was on my dad's name and he resently change it and now i can't reset or delete his iCloud account without his password. Please advise on the procedure. Thanks.
If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous owner's password to get permission to use the device. If you cannot get the password your father put on the iPad you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

I setup my iCloud account on my iPhone 5 with the wrong e mail address, and I don't remmber the password, I reset my tel and erase all the information on my iPhone in order to try to set up a new iCloud account but when I restart I have a problem agaIn , they ask me to put again the old iCloud user account and password, what I can do in order to start the phone when I don't have the correct e mail and I don't remmber the passcode.?
I have the same problem as the emails go to my iCloud account that I cannot access!!! I cannot answer the security questions as someone else must have set up my iCloud account. Nothing seems to work. It would be great if someone has some ideas as what can be done to recover the situation?

After the latest update, all my apple products reverted to an old icloud account. As it no longer exists, I cannot get into it to delete it and add the correct id. How can I change this, especially on my Macbook pro? There is no p/w related to it and even though I tried to reset "password" it won't allow as the id does not exist, neither does the email associated with the old id. How do I switch it to a newer id?
It's all rather odd because the old account cannot 'no longer exist' - if you don't have the correct password you won't be able to get into it, but you can't actually delete an iCloud account from the server.
I'm afraid you will need the services of iCloud Support. If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee. -
Actually, my iphone was hanged and its screen was not working at all .So, I updated its software from market but for reactivation it require icloud account but i didn't know how exactly it is and i was caught in big trouble . But i have its box and all other accessories .So , kindly help me as early as possible .Thankyou and tell me about its solution
<Email Edited by Host>Basic troubleshooting steps outline in the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Try each of these in order until the problem is resolved. If you've been through all these steps and the trouble persists, you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation. Be sure to make an appointment first at the Genius Bar so you won't have a long wait.
