Two Apple IDs, one for Icloud - But can't reset the password

I have 2 Apple IDs.  (No ide how - but I do). 
Account A I can access - but I can't set it up for iCloud
Account B - When I try to reset the password - it leads be back to account A
When I look at My iPhone - In the iCloud setting  - it references the Account B address. 
When I try to login to iCloud Desktop - If I try to get a new Password for account B, an email is sent to my account A email address, and all that I keep on doing is changing Account A's password.  I tried to answer the security questions - which I did - but was told that my dog's name is not what my dog's name is! 
ALL that I want to do is enable iCloud so that I can sync my contacts with outlook and iPhone.  iTunes 11 does not permit you to do this without iCloud. 
How can I resolve this?  Any ideas?

I have this same issue and have since day one. I cannot seem to figure out how to get into icloud.

  • HT204053 Are there advantages to having two Apple IDs, one for iCloud and one for Store Purchases?

    I bought my new Mac through our company and created a new ID for it, thinking that I am likely in future to need other Apple products for the business, but I already had an ID for personal use, as does my husband, who also works for our company.
    I understand that for us to receive our emails separately we need to use our personal IDs for iCloud, but althought the vendor confirmed it was possible, I did not understand from him whether it was a good idea from a business point of view for us to use the business ID for Store Purchases.
    If anyone does this, I'd be really grateful to know why you find it useful.

    If you want to move your iCloud account to another existing ID you'll have to delete the existing account, set up a new account with the other ID, then upload your data to the new account.  To do this, begin by going to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your phone.  After everything is turned off you can scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up the new account with your other ID and turn syncing for calendars, contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload your data to the new account.  Note: this will not migrate your photo stream photos.  You will need to save these prior to deleting the existing account.

  • I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

    Thanks - I guess it is like there were two of me!
    I bought the iPhone first and it seemed natural to link it to the (work) e-mail address which was in constant use. The iMac for home use came next and it seemed natural to use my home e-mail address, particularly as I knew by then that I would lose the work address after my imminent retirement. The same logic went for the recent puchase of the MacAir. I am not sure what happened with the iPad (also a recent purchase) - iTunes seemed to puch me towards the same ID as the iPhone.
    It is not a huge problem - just makes my persona look schizoid! Otherwise very happy with everything Apple.

  • I have two apple Ids, one for the iTunes Store and one of iCloud.

    I need to be able to use the one that has my payment information to buy more iCloud storage, but don't know how to do this. I could also try to use the same payment info, but I can't, because the Apple Id I have for iCloud has a different country (Ecuador), and I need to use a US credit card. How can I fix this? Please help me find a solution.

    OK, it sounds like you actually signed on your "Costa Rican Apple ID" to the iTunes & App Store. So, go into Settings>iTunes & Apps Store, and click on your Apple ID, then click on Sign Out.
    Then click the Apple ID again and type in your "US Store Apple ID" and password.
    Once signed on with that ID, click on your ID again, and then click on "View Account" to make sure that the Country/Region is showing the US Store flag.
    If it is not, click on the Country/Region and select the US Store.
    Hope that helps!

  • I seem have two apple IDs - on for an icloud address and one for everything prior.

    I seem have two apple IDs - one for my new icloud email address and one for ipad/purchases which has been active for 6 months.
    Can I change this to simplify it, or should I follow instructions to ensure everything is matched?

    I am logged into the same things on both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro, except for mail. I use a gmail IMAP account and everything there already works on both machines. The iCloud account on my iPhone uses one Apple ID and the one on the Mac uses the second Apple ID.

  • Two Apple IDs, one iCloud ID, will it work?

    Two Apple IDs, one iCloud ID, will it work?
    In my house we have two iPhones and one Mac.  My husband and I have two separate Mac accounts, separate  iTunes accounts and one common Mobile Me account we use to synch Calendar and Address book between our Mac and our devices.  In our separate iTunes libraries we have separate songs, podcast settings, and separate apps.  We use one common iPhoto library for our two Mac accounts (which we keep on an external volume with Permissions disabled, to avoid file privilege issues in iPhoto.
    It's all working well with MobileMe, but I'm concerned iCloud will make a big mess.
    We want common calendar.
    We want common address book.
    We want separate Apps (no room for us both to have all apps).
    We want some shared reminders (like shopping list) but some separate ones (like work tasks).  I understand there is a bug about this, but I don't know the resolution (https://bugreport.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RadarWeb.woa/4/wo/lHQWT8NZajvGPvP 7ObMPj0/8.66)
    We don't care much about common PhotoStream (as long as it works for one of us).
    How can we make this all work, when we move to iCloud? 
    How do we control what synchs and what does not synch?
    Has anyone done this kind of complex setup before?
    Thanks,
    Peter

  • After I've set-up my iOS device with an Apple ID for iCloud, how can I change the iCloud Apple ID?

       After updating my iPad 2 & iPhone 4 to iOS 5, I set-up each one for iCloud, but inadvertently used 2 different Apple ID's (one me.com and one that I typically use for Apple purchases).  I realize this will prevent the two devices from syncing.  When I try to change the iCloud Apple ID, it is grayed out, and I can't find any way to re-set it on my iPad.  Does anyone know how to re-set this ID so both devices are operating on the same ID?
      I have a second question (though not as pressing as the first).  I'd like to use my me.com ID to sync calendars, contacts, etc., but another ID to sync my Apple purchases (apps, etc.).  This way my wife and I could share apps, but each sync our iPhones and iPads to our own content.  Does anyone know if this type of dual-ID set-up is possible on one device?
       I know there's a lot of confusion out there, but I'm trying to keep in mind that this is a huge upgrade and transition for Apple, so it will all work out, and should be fantastic when it does.  It'll just take a little time to sort out.  Thanks for any suggestions!  -Bob-

    Hi Jeremy,
        That is my understanding.  Clicking "Delete Account" is similar to logging out of iCloud with that account. 
       But your situation is different from mine, as I had been using my @me.com account for "Find My iPhone" only.  I ended up using my @me.com account for iCloud and another account for my Apple iTunes Store purchases.
       That's correct--it will not delete your purchases.  You can still back-up to your Mac with iTunes using the same account you used to purchase your Apple stuff.  -Bob-

  • So my sister created an iCloud account for me but she has forgotten the password...she has also forgotten the password for the associated email such that I can't retrieve the password for that account...how do I delete the account ?

    so my sister created an iCloud account for me but she has forgotten the password...she has also forgotten the password for the associated email such that I can't retrieve my password....how do I delete the old account so that I can create a new one???

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

    To to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud ID. A new password will be sent to the associated email address.
    It this doesn't work, go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.

  • A friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue. How to register the phone with Apple?

    A computer illiterate friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as his yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue as the Apple server identifies the hardware as registered. How to register the phone with Apple?
    I helped him create a new email address and new iCloud account on my Mac but when we try to register the phone with Apple it says: Maximim accounts limit reached for this device. How can he register the phone? I read different threads and found out that only Apple care can do that. We're in Romania and don't know where to call. Any suggestions on how we fix this?

    When I checked the support site for Romania, you apparently don't have an Apple Care contact center.  You "may" try calling the US Apple care number to verify the account and have the password reset sent to a different email address.  800-694-7466
