And synchronise my previous music ! Itunes does not recognise the password of my first ID. When i try to redefine the password i never receive the e mail that ituned confirms as sent

Question

I have lately changed my ID name. When i tried to download purchases and synchronise my ipad2, itunes asks to lalso login onto the old id. My problem is that i cannot redefine the password of my old id. Itunes requeste and confirms that an e mail will be sent. This e mail never arrives. Why this and what is the fix?

Answer 1

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go 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.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account 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 and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
