Apple id reverting back to an old email

All phone settings are set to correct apple id, iTunes, iCloud, email, app store etc
But when it comes to update an app and apple id requires you to enter a password its brining up an email which is over 10 years old thats my girlfriends which has only been used due to verifying music on my phone.

Once you purchase or download an app that app is forever connected to the Apple ID used to purchase or download it. even after you change Apple IDs if that app requires an update it will ask for the old Apple ID and password before it can be updated. You can ntering that old ID and password or delete the app and download or purchase it again Using your current Apple ID.

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.

I recently changed my password to my apple id and was able to log into everything fine except the icloud on my ipad. It reverted back to an old apple id and I don't know the password. I have tried all the suggestions and no luck.

You didn't say what you've tried, but f the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, 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. 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.

My iPad Air will not recognize my newest Apple ID e-mail address for cloud access. It continually reverts back to an old e-mail address that I no longer have access to and don't remember the PW for. How can I fix this?

Hi, I want to revert back to my old apple id password (6 digits). The complicated password now is not very user friendly to me.

Hi, I want to revert back to my old apple id password (6 digits). The complicated password now is not very user friendly to me.

Sorry I misinterpreted what it was that you want to do. The following gives the current password requirements: Security and your Apple ID - Apple Support
There isn't any way to have a 6 digit numerical password -- as you already found. With the amount of password hacking going on currently, I suspect that if you were able to change it back you would be putting your account at a significant risk. You are being forced, but I think Apple is doing that with good intentions and that it is in your interest. You can complain (provide feedback) at https://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html

HT3529 My icloud account keeps reverting back to my old account on my iPhone?

Why does my newly created Apple iCloud account keep reverting back to my old account, which happens to be my ex husbands email?

Sign out of the account on the device and sign in with the new account.
Just keep in mind that purchases and content are permanently tied to the account they were acquired with.

HT1399 I just downloaded the newest version of itunes, and when I connect my ipod nano (3rd gen), I can no longer see my playlists (on the left hand side). I hate the new format...any way to revert back to the old one?

I just downloaded the newest versionof itunes. Now when I plug in my ipod, I can no longer see my playlists (listed on the left hand side). The new format is very confusing! How do I drag and drop songs into specific playlists I have? Is there a way to revert back to the old itunes?

I had the same question. Someone answered perfectly here post https://discussions.apple.com/message/20575126#20575126
The answer was click View > Show sidebar. Devices and playlists will display in the left sidebar once again.

Anyway I deleted account, but now I tried to login in with my new id/password and it says unable as already in use!!! More help needed please! Its a nightmare!!

When I enter events in my calendar to quickly, when it auto-syncs it will revert back to my old event.

When I enter events in my calendar to quickly, when it auto-syncs it will revert back to my old event.
If I have two calendars in use, if I use one (say red "home") and decide I want to change it to another (say green "work") it will revert back
I've called Apple, been in the store to meet numerous "geniusus" and no one can figure it out. Most apple assistants tell me over the phone that "that is not possible", well it is possible and the so-called "geniuses" have seen and confirmed it is possible but to this point the only thing "impossible" is solving the problem.
NOTHING MORE FRUSTRATING THAN PUTTING AN APPOINTMENT IN MY CALANDAR ONLY TO MISS IS BECAUSE OF AN APPLE ERROR

Naughty,
You are posting a Pages question in the Numbers forum. I am going to ask thie be moved to the Pages forum. In addition please post a screenshot. Based on playing with a chart in Pages, I do not think the charts take their input from a table, but rather, you enter the data by clicking the chart (to activate it), then clicking the button "Edit Chart Data":
manually editing the entries in the table:
I would think you want to have a table in Numbers to create the data, then copy and paste the data into the data table for the chart (I wouldn't type it in)

HT4623 i have a new email and password set up on i tones but it not coming on my phone it keeps going back to the old email i dont use it any more

my new email and new password is set up on i tones and not on my iphone 4 but under settins show my new email but my updates wont allow me to update it keeps going back to the old email and i dont use it any more

Did you change the email associated with your Apple ID or create a new Apple ID?
The former simply requires signing out of the iTunes store and back in with the new credentials.
The later is a waste of time as content acquired via iTunes is permanently tied to the Apple ID it was acquired with.

When I stream videos from my laptop onto my Apple TV via my iPad 2 using the Air Video app/server the video plays great however when I pause the video the Apple TV reverts back to the home screen within a few seconds and then when I want to restart watching the video I have to re-buffer the video. Is there any way I can stop the Apple TV from reverting back to the home screen when I pause the video I’m watching?

Even via time machine the new osx lion has deleted all my latest files in iPhoto and will only revert back to an old 2009 backup?

even via time machine the new osx lion has deleted all my latest files in iPhoto and will only revert back to an old 2009 backup?... Help?!

Have you verified that the original files are missing from the Originals/Masters folder? There are time when the library might appear empty due to a damaged database file but still has the files. If you can open the library package via the Finder to see if the files are really missing or just can't be seen by iPhoto there are fixes you can try.
If the files are there make a temporary, backup copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Safari is part of OS X and isn't available as a separate download. How did you get a newer version than the one that comes with Lion?

Denon AVR-1909 and Apple TV reverting back to 720p

I have my Apple TV running through my Denon AVR-1909 amp (HDMI). If both units are off and I start them up, my Apple TV reverts back to 720p resolution. The resolution before I turned off the Apple TV is set to 1080p.
It wasn't until I ran the Apple TV through this Receiver did I start experiencing this problem.
If the receiver is already on, then the resolution on Apple TV remains at 1080p when I turn it on.
I'm using a Harmony One Remote to Turn on my devices. I have setup the functionality to Start the receiver first, then I have a created various delays before it starts the Apple TV, thinking that the amp needs sometime before it sends a signal. Even with this delay, the problem still exists.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue, and is there a fix?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
