Can't change my apple id on iPhone because i don't have the password to my old apple id - any suggestions
I can't change my Apple ID on my iPhone because I don't have the password for my old Apple ID which the system requires. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Perhaps if you visited the "Manage My Apple ID" site you could recover the password to the old Apple ID.

How can I change my email address for iCloud if I don't have the password to my old email?
How do I change my email for icloud without knowing the password for my old email address?
David, I have a similar issue but I am still running into a road block. I have had an account with apple for email since before 2005 and it was perfect for that moment in life. I used my name to set up as my appleID. [email protected] It has now since been year and years later. I am married and have my own business. I would like my new apple email to be nonnaiandd.icloud.com. When going to set up a new apple ID as you suggested. It asks for a valid email address as the apple ID. Well, my valid email address is my icloud account ([email protected]) This email is what would be my primary email in the account. I want a new apple ID and new email. How do I proceed? When I do a new apple Id is still needs an email.. I'm frustrated. What to do. I wish I could simply change my account's apple ID and email to match to the new [email protected] Help. Thank you.

I recently changed my Apple ID to a new email address. My old one still is in my phone, and cannot be permanently deleted as it says that Find my iPhone is still on. I can't turn it off because I do not have the password to my old "deleted" Apple ID. If you can help, please do! Thank you very much!
I have the EXACT SAME PROBLEM and have been researching the past 2 hours!!!! Aaargh!

I am trying to change my icloud account information on my iphone. I tried deleting the old account but couldnt because i dont have the password for the old account. My previous Apple ID account email address was hacked and they changed my password. I went to iForgot but they cant send the password to me via email because that account is disabled. I cant go through the security questions becuase whoever hacked my email changed my account info too. I dont know what to do.
Try to contact Apple Customer Support.

How can i remove the icloud from my iphone when i don't have the password?
I have a new iPhone where I restored from an old iPhone. The old iPhone had an iCloud account I hadn't used and I don't know the password. How can I remove the old iCloud account from my new iPhone? It keeps asking for the old password I don't have.
You won't be able to delted the existing account without the password. If you don't know it, you'll have to reset it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617. If you have trouble doing this, you can try contacting the Apple account security team for your country for assistance: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699. You will have to prove your identity before they will reset the password.

I switched out my old phone for an Iphone 5 that my boss gave me and i'm trying to delete his apple id and program a new one for me. how do i do that?
If we are talking about Activation Lock you will have to have him remove the device from his account at icloud.com

I am trying to get the latest version of ITunes on my laptop, but the download gets "interrupted" every time. THen I can't synch with any devices. I've tried recycling ITunes and downloading again. I am not sure I've actually uninstalled the old version though. How should I proceed?
Okay, so you've searched the forums and google for the EXACT wording of the error message that is displaying, correct? And after searching you read the results and tried the troubleshooting steps, correct?

So I have an iphone and for some reason I don't know the password for my Apple ID so I can't download apps and I don't have the password to my email to change it and I don't know the secret questions , what can I do to make a new Apple ID ?
I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option? -
My iPhone 4S (iOS8) is locked to ex's iCloud account (but to my credit card!). I don't have the password. How can I change it to my new iCloud account?
My phone shows my name plus iCloud old iCloud account. My kids' new iPads show my name plus my new iCloud account. But both accounts show my children as "family" associated with them.
Basically, I need to change the iCloud account on my phone to my new one. But I'm not given that option.
Help and thanks.Hi and thanks. The password on the old iCloud account doesn't work and my ex-husband says he doesn't know what it is -- and that he's not getting emails to reset the password. I tried using the rescue questions and even the birthdate isn't working. I think he's changed it to keep me out, but it's charging my credit card account.

I can't delete the account because I don't have a password to delet it.
use same password as your appleID. I did the same thing when setting up iCloud & typo my user name with an r for a t, now I'm stuck with that stupid mispelled icloud email showing up everytime. But, I can type the same wrong iD with my appleID password & it logs in. There is just no option to edit that typo, so I am stuk with a bogus iCloudID. With Mavrick deleting Notes on MAC, unless I use iCloud, its even more annoying to see that typo every f*ing time, no matter what ID I use, either AppleID or iCloud mispelled ID. I just use the same password. So for, no way to get rid of, nor edit iCloudID.

I have bought an used Iphone 5. I dont have the password for the existing login id of the old owner. How do i use the phone and change the log in id?
Unfortunatly the only way that you can get it off is to get the old user to input the password. You may need to contact that old user and see if he can put the old password in. hope this helps.

I have an iPhone 4 that I just updated today to ios 6, now when I go to back up the phone to my PC, it says it can't because I don't have the latest version of iTunes. But i have iTunes 10. Please advise.
There is an updated version number 10.7.0.21 that is available if you go to the iTunes link here on Apple.com. It won't show up under Apple Software Update and if you check for updates via iTunes it likely won't show either.

How do I download ios 6 from my lap top?
You mean for an iPhone 4S? You can't. Yo can only update an iPhone 4S to iOS 8.1.3.
The only iPhone that can currently download iOS 6 is an iPhone 3GS.

i bought and iphone but i can't activate it because i don't have the previous owner icloud account and don't know either how and where to contact him so what sould i do
Find a way to contact whoever you bought it from. If you can't do that, turn it over to the police. The phone is probably stolen. There is NO WAY past the activation lock without the credentials for the Apple ID that was used to lock it.
