Apple disabled Apple ID when moved to new one, can not delete old from iPad

Followed apple process to move Apple Id to a new email on my Macbook Pro.. Now can't login with original apple ID to turn off find my iPad. Appears Apple disabled it, since I know the password. Attempted to also login on Macbook Pro using the (old)previous ID and it can not be found. What to do? Was not told to disable all find my (products) before doing the Apple ID transfer process. Guess I need to completely disable devices restore and start over, if that is allowed. If I go and change the new Apple ID back to the old I will be asked to verify the old email and it has been disabled by my previous employer. Will restoring my devices using the backups on my Macbook Pro bring back the old Apple ID and get caught in a permanent loop? iPad air, iPhone 5s. Both current version 7.1.2 latest.

If you've already tried unsuccessfully to recreate the old ID from the new one (and encountered a prompt to verify the old email address), you need to contact Apple for assistance https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.  They can also tell you if the ID is disabled or not.
The call should be free but you will need your serial number to set it up, which you can find in Settings>General>About on your iPad.

  • I accidentally created an identical email acct, how to I delete the newer one and not the old one?

    entally created an identical email acct, how to I delete the newer one and not the old one? And I'm receiving e's just from the new one.

    Move the "e's" (email messages?) to the old account first. You can drag and drop.
    To remove an account in Thunderbird:
    '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Account Settings]|<select the unwanted account>|'''
    Down at the bottom of the left-hand pane, '''Account Actions''' then '''Remove Account'''.
    Are both accounts using POP? That could explain why new messages appear in the new account but not the old.
    It could help to post your Thunderbird settings data: '''Help|Troubleshooting Information'''. Clear the "Include account names" checkbox. Click on "Copy text to clipboard", then paste (ctrl+v) into your next posting here.

  • When getting a new laptop can I transfer everything from an old mac book

    I have an old MacBook from over 4 years ago. It turns on and I can see the screen but I cannot click on anything. I am planning to buy a new MacBook, probably Air or Pro, but I wanted to know if I bring my old laptop in will I be able to transfer my files (itunes, pictures, etc.) onto the new one?

    Yes, you can do this. Use the Migration Assistant when you first start up your new computer. You can do it later as well but it is easier to do it immediately. For that model MacBook you can do it using FireWire, Ethernet or using a wireless network. I do not suggest the latter as it can be quite slow.
    Best of luck.

  • Time Machine almost full, can I start a new drive and NOT delete old one?

    Because I had an External HD crash, I was wondering if I can start a new External Hard Drive (500 GB) from scratch (meaning I don't copy old files to it) and keep the old one as a back up to the back up??? Also, I have NOT been backing up the applications and on the new drive, would like to do that. If I move the old stuff from the 300GB, won't the Applications take up most of the 500 GB??
    Or is is simply better to copy everything over (I asssume it all remains on the old 300 GB hard drive) and simply let it start rewriting? My iMac is gettin on in years and I'd like to be prepared should something happen to it.
    And as you can tell, I am not very techie so please feel free to talk down to me.
    Has anyone migrated to a new External HD? I have directions from Apple, is it easy????
    Thanks . . running out of space soon . . .

    Just to be sure, do you mean your TM drive crashed?  Or an external HD, containing data that TM was backing-up?

    Again, I'm not sure what you mean.   If you mean put the old TM drive "on the shelf" and start fresh on a new one, then yes.  Eject and disconnect it, then format the new one (see Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #5 if you're not sure how).  Give it a different name, so you're sure which is which, then select it as the destination via the Time Machine Preferences window.  TM will do a full backup to it, so may take a while.
    The backups on the new drive will be completely separate from the old ones.
    If you ever need to see or restore from the new ones, use the Browse Other Backup Disks option, per #17 in the above link.
    I have NOT been backing up the applications and on the new drive, would like to do that.
    Yes, it's usually not a good idea to exclude System or Applications folders.
    If I move the old stuff from the 300GB, won't the Applications take up most of the 500 GB??
    No -- your Applications folder is probably in the range of 10-20 GBs.wn to me.

    Again, not sure just what you mean.

  • Can't download new 4. can not delete XUL.mfl - Program running it???

    Tried to download version 4 and it said uninstall old firefox 1st but when I tried I had to delete everything under Mozilla but I could not delete the file "XUL.mfl" because it said a program was using this file. Nothing is running on this computer so i assume some spyware or something is accessing it ??? How do I find out or how can I still delete it so I can load Firefox 4?

    It sounds like your programs are looking for info on the internet.. could be just looking for/checking for updates.. nothing wrong with that.
    You say your on DSL, but when this happens are you connected to the network? If you are, I can't think of a reason why you would be prompted for a Bluetooth connection.
    And the other posted is correct.. if you move your Ethernet/Dsl connection to the top of the list it should prompt you to do something with your DSL connection.

  • My password keeps getting hacked, how can i disable my account and start a new one and not lose all the stuff I already have?

    Hi All,
    I need help, my password keeps getting hacked, and I keep changing the password, and changing all my security questions. I have changed everything I can. How can I disable my account, but not lose everything that I already have in there? Is this possible or do I have to start all over again?

    You might have some better luck if you call your country number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with the Account Security Team.

  • I can not stream video from Ipad to apple TV!

    Hi
    I have Ipad with iOS4.2 and I am able to stream audio from my ipad such as youtube, itunes but the video no luck any help please?
    see the image : http://www9.0zz0.com/2010/11/07/22/143518425.png

    No, if you can't get it to work with the developer iOS 4.2 for iPad, you should file a bug report on Apple's developer site. The one they distributed is supposed to be the "Gold Master," so the released version will probably be the same.

  • New monitor can not detect signal from new referb pc

     Monitor is a new flat screen,  model 2310m full HD with  vga, hdmi, and dvi-d connectors and boot up CD which includes pdf manual and video drivers etc..
             PC is a referb Pavilion M9200t first time started since referb with a G-Force GT graphics card (1 gigabite) and dual DVI-D connections. No VGA or HDMI out. OS is vista ultimate that I will probably update to windows 7 if I ever get it set up. Monitor does not get a signal from new PC with DVI-D cable or a VGA cable with an adapter. Monitor works fine with my old XP PC after installing drivers  and using the vga cable. New PC has no VGA out, so I bought a VGA to DVI-D adapter thinking that it would have proper drivers for a VGA monitor with no success. I also tried new PC on my old monitor with the DVI-D adapter on the VGA cable and that didn't work either. I can't do a first run setup without a monitor and the monitor won't work without a signal.
            I bought the PC from a friend who decieded to buy a laptop instead and had never started it. He bought it from someone who was selling referbs on E-bay and messed up and accidently started the warranty period  or so they say. 
            Also when I plug the PC in the fan starts and continues running till I do a hard shutdown, that is holding start button down till the PC shuts off. If I unplug and replug the computer it starts again without pushing start button. Does anyone think it is the graphics card issue or maybe power supply, or just not booting at all?  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.------Thanks in advance.----Larry

                Ok, thats the procedure I was talking about earlier. I did that bios default factory reset just now. First the version 6 and earlier. It didn't work so I tried version 7 and later and that didn't work. I then tried version 6 and earlier again only this time pushed F10 more rapidly and got right in right when I got to the F5 and enter portion. Then I pushed F10 again to save the change and enter again to close. The PC didn't boot up the next screen like the test said it would. So I did it all again and spent some time reading what was on the bios pages but  accidently pushed ESC as the bios menu suggested instead of enter to close out   . No boot up screen again. I did another hard shutdown and then unplugged the cord for 5 minutes and this time the PC stayed off when I plugged it back in. The bios are set to default but I cannot get it to start again in safe mode or boot up. So if the power supply is working properly, and the monitor worked in safe mode, then the video card must be good. right?
              So I'm editing from the night before, its Monday morning here in Wi. and I'm sorry to say that after leaving the PC unplugged all night that when I plugged it back in this morning, the dumb thing started again without pushing the  start button.  So the only thing doing a recovery on the bios accomplished was to prove that my the video card can run the monitor in safe mode which is a good thing I guess. Hope someone has an idea as to what else I can try.-------thanks

  • New user can not run ping from shell

    Hello,
    I am an extreme novice, but I have been able to install Solaris 10 on a SunBlade 100 and have created a second user. I want to be able to telnet or ssh to my system as the second user and then run pings and traceroutes from there to other network devices.
    If I remote log in as root I get a # prompt and can run ping. If I remote log in as the second user I get a $ prompt even though the group [0], base directoty [], and shell [sbin/sh] are identical to root in the /etc/passwd file. If I try to run ping I get: ping: not found.
    What do I need to configure for the second user so that the login receives the # prompt and is able to run pings?
    Thanks,
    Greg

    I'm missing something. I want to create a user that is equal to the root. The root has # prompt and can run ping with no extra work. What do I need to do to my second user to get access to the # prompt and the ability to just type and run ping ?Oohhhhhhhhhh, root has that other prompt and his PATH statement is setup properly and mine isn't so I need to be him instead of fixing the user account.
    You can set any users prompt to anything you want. You can make root's prompt a dollar sign instead if you want to and you can set an ordinary users prompt to the # symbol so what does that prove?
    All you need to do is to fix the PATH statement in ~/.profile for bash or sh and the user no longer needs to type the full path or use ./ to run a command.
    You have a lot to learn.

  • My Apple id was disabled and had to make a new one for iTunes but it's not letting me erase then re download the app with the new Apple ID

    My Apple id was disabled and had to make a new one for iTunes but it's not letting me erase then re download the app with the new Apple ID   Just got an iPad air 2 so my iCloud and family sharing is with the one that's disabled. Which I don't know how to switch to my new one, so I trying to erase my apps that won't load and just re download them with my new ID that is being used with the iTunes n app store but I can't even find most in purchased plus it's saying that I can't get it cuz that ID is not with family sharing but I donT know why it would not be. Please someone help.

    OOk so I have my new Apple id in my iTunes account but my old Apple ID is the one that is in the iCloud account which is the Apple ID have been using for years and the reason I cannot get it on this abled is because somebody was using my credit card or debit card that was on file for family sharing and it was a stolen iPhone from my account so they had to disable my Apple ID and I could not use my debit card anymore on any Apple ID ever again they said because of it so I can't get it not to be disabled and I can't sign into iTunes with it I already have signed out and signed in with my new Apple ID for iTunes it's just iCloud is not letting me load anything so pretty much what I've been doing is I have to erase every app and then re-dumb going to iTunes and re-download the apps again but the only issue is that I still have a disabled Apple ID as my iCloud settings and my iCloud family sharing in all of that so I'm wondering how or is it possible to change my Apple ID for iCloud specifically because when I go into Icloud and settings and go into my name where my Apple ID is the one that's disabled it doesn't say anything about log out or sign out or anything like that it just says to put the password for it so is there a way to change the Apple ID for my iCloud so that my iTunes in my iCloud is the same Apple ID?

  • HT1386 we are using same laptop with my wife for our 2 iphones and when sincronizing, she's getting my apps and is requested for my apple id and password when getting a new app on her device. How can i fix that issue?

    we are using same laptop with my wife for our 2 iphones and when sincronizing, she's getting my apps and is requested for my apple id and password when getting a new app on her device. How can i fix that issue?

    Each phone needs to set its own sync settings on the various tabs in iTunes.  On the Apps tab, for example, uncheck the apps that you don't want on the phone being synced.  This article may also be of interest: http://gigaom.com/apple/itunes-101-multiple-devices-one-itunes-account/.
    You can change the Apple ID used for purchasing on her phone by going to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using her Apple ID.  However, be aware that if she has any apps on her phone purchased with your Apple ID she will still be prompted to enter the password associated with this ID for all future updates of these apps.  This is because apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, regardless of the ID in Settings>Store.

    I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices.

    My iPhoto Library (version 8.1.2) is 280GB (greater than 50% of my 500GB total storage memory on my iMac.  It was too large for me to drag it to a new hard drive so the Apple geniuses did it for me.  However they did not delete the Library from my iMac (that's my responsibility).  I dragged it to Trash and when it started to move I clicked over to the new hard drive to confirm it had indeed been copied.  I became nervous when I didn't see among the few files on this otherwise empty new hard drive anything that resembled a 280GB Library so I cancelled the migration to trash.
    How can I be sure that my iphoto has been copied and that all my "metadata" survived in tact?

    the new backup drive
    I thought the new drive would be your data drive to host the iPhoto library. Do you also use it for TimeMachine backups?
    I am unable to search either in email as well as Finder.  I AM able to search within iPhoto though, thankfully
    Spotlight may still be busy rebuildig its index.
    You could try to rebuild the Spotlight Index, if you do see no progress:
    Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes
    I hope, other frequent posters will drop in. I have not used iPhoto 8.x in long time.

  • Ever since i forgot my apple id password and changed to a new one, I am continually being asked to enter my iCloud password. It then says that this mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "my username". nothing I do in in preferences helps.

    You have to sign out completely in System Preference>iCloud (click 'Sign out') on a Mac, or Settings>iCloud on an iOS device (click 'Delete account' - this will not delete the account from the server). Then sign in with the new password.
    Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac or device when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in.

  • HT2589 I just bought an Imac. I have an ipad2 and an iphone 4s. My wife has an iphone 4s. Both of us have different apple ids. Would you recommend a new one or use an existing id?  Why?

    It is best to stop making all new apple IDs, as software is permanently tied to them, and you can't converge them. Make differnt ones if you plan to get divorced though....
