Although apple id changed to new email account iCloud still showing old one and cant access everything.  How do I update it?

Changed email address.  Apple id changed but iCloud still showing old one and can't find how to change it.  Cant access everything or download to iCloud because of this.  How do I update my info?

Welcome to the Apple community.
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.

  • Ive changed my apple id. in my iPad and iPhone under iTunes it's showing the new id but under iCloud still shows old I'd. I have been told to delete account and add in new one but worried in case lose all my stuff that's already saved in iCloud. any idea?

    If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID.  Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
    If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
    Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

  • Since upgrading to 10.8 I've had alot of issues burning DVD's. I've had the drive replaced and now I can burn from a new user account but not the old one. Is there any way of making the old one work?

    Just want to avoild spending hours migrating everything across....

    Yes, I can read but just can't write DVD's. I get:
    This disc can’t be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new blank disc (error code 0x80020063).
    Originally I thought it was the old Moutain Lion DVD drive issue (but have had the drive recently replaced by Apple), so I tried creating a new account, which worked.
    In the old account I have reset SMU, Pram... but no change.

    If you're really trying to use Windows 2000, then that's the problem. As you'll see on the box, you need at least XP/SP3.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    Hello Lell49,
    If you change your Apple ID from your old Apple ID to your new one, then you may need to put it back to your old one so you can sign out. Once that is done just change it back all should be good. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • New BB - 9/10 attempts on old one and need to access data. Please help me understand which password to use

    I got a new BB yesterday and IT took the SIM from the old one, put it in the new one and set it up for me. During this they changed my password.
    I then realised that I had left my pictures on the old BB (my son's birth to date) so I took the SIM from the new one and put it back in the old one.  It did some kind of synch thing automatically and then I tried entering my old password. It wouldn't accept it and before I knew it I had a warning saying I would be locked out on the next attempt. (I didn't know about this restriction before or I would have stopped earlier)
    Do I have to enter the new password that IT gave me?  Will my old phone recognise the new password or will it wipe? I am not clear if there is some sort of match up between the device software and the sim card.
    I know both passwords but I am afraid to enter either as I am at 9/10 and if I chose the wrong one my pictures are history. Please can someone explain how the passwords work so that I know which one to enter.
    The old one didn't work so I suspect I need the new one but I am afraid to use the new one in case the device knows the old one somehow and when it doesn't match it wipes. Sorry if I am babbling on but very distressed and anxious right now :/
    Thanks

    You need to ask your BES Admin that.
    But FIRST... on the old device, are the pictures ON the Media Card or in the device Memory? Where are they stored?

  • All my music is gone playlists,library,I have a brand new Itunes account looking for my old one how to do please

    Opened I tunes and all my music is gone. Playlists, library everything. The page looks brand new not mine lol. What 2 do? I am just sick 3000 songs imported from cds and much music bought from I tunes store. Please help if possible. I have cancer and my music is everything to me Thanks all.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Building New SQL Server To Migrate from Old one and need to figure out how I need to license it.

    So my head is spinning on setting up a New SQL Server.
    Current setup is Microsoft Server 2003 Standard and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard. Nothing was maintained with Software assurance.
    Environment:
    Database is Limited to 2008 R2 Standard as Highest release I can use with it. So I know I need to do a Downgrade.
    New Server can Be either Microsoft Server standard 2008 or 2012 x64.
    The Domain Controller for right now is going to remain a Machine with Server 2003 Standard x86. It is Licensed with 30 Cals.
    The office Environment:
    The Office has any where from 5-7 employees.
    They have 3 Office locations and employees are in 1 of the three locations depending on the day.
    Between all 3 Offices they have 27 computers.
    Employees also can access multiple machines through out the day.
    Reception, Checkout and Third employee will be at their own machine.
    3 Employees will be accessing their main machine but also float to at the most 6 other machines located in the office these machines are logged in in the morning using their own user name Employees don't login or logout on them throughout the day.
    If they are in The Main Office they access the SQL server machine directly.
    If they are in one of the two satellite offices the Employees will access the SQL server through the front end running on Terminal Services running on the SQL server.
    My New Server will be Either a 4 or 6 core Xeon Processor.
    So the Questions.
    Lets say the scenario is I am buying Windows 2012 Server and Cals and Buying SQL 2012 Server and Cals and will be downgrading both to 2008.
    How do I need to license Windows Server? How many Cals do I need and what way should they be setup?
    How do I need to license SQL Server? By Server? By Core? How Many Cals do I need?
    Thank You.

    Hi,
    In addition, basically a downgrade is possible in case the SQL Server editions are the same. Downgrade is only supported in case a downgrade of e.g. SQL2012 Enterprise to SQL2008R2 Enterprise is done.
    I have attached a link to the SQL Server 2012 Licensing Reference Guide. Look at “Upgrades, Downgrades and Step-Ups” section of the document and check which version and editions are supported for the downgrade.

    Hope it helps.

  • Has mail changed so that Apple Mail is deciding to make all new email accounts IMAP?

    I am unable to create a POP mail account on my computer or my iPhone today. I have 8 other email pop accounts with the same server. Trying today to replicate the same steps with a ninth email account, APPLE Mail is deciding that it is IMAP, and will NOT let me revise the "account type".
    Does anyone know if this is a system-wide change effecting new email accounts within the past few days?

    You should be adding the Mail accounts by using System Preferences', Internet Accounts.
    Correction, that should be: You should be adding the Mail accounts by using System Preferences', "Mail, Contacts & Calendars."
