Can't sign in to icloud on ipad but can on desktop

I recently closed an email account and forgot that my icloud was attached to it. I've got it straightened out on my desktop but mu ipad will not allow me to change password (I can't just security questions because it has the wrong birthday and I don't know what they have)

As an update to this. If I create a new user profile I can log into iCloud no bother.
Any tips on how to fix my existing profile?
Thanks,
Kam

    Take it to an Apple store genius bar to have the techs see what your options are for repair/replacement.  An out-of-warranty replacement is $149 in the US for the iPhone 4.

  • Can't get into my itunes on ipad. but can get to it on my computer?

    I can't get into my itunes on my ipad message reads email address is already verified for another Apple ID but when i go to my computer I get into my acct. just fine. Also when it asked me to verify this ID in an email i get the same message! Now, just so you know I have gone to the account page and edited everything but nothing happens. When I try to retrieve all info on the page that says Apple Acct. forgot ID and password, I type in my name and message reads we do not have your name on file.

    Try restarting your iPad first and see if that helps. Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut down. Then hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button and let the iPad restart. Then try to sign in again.
    If that doesn't work you can look through this to seek help.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • My Apple ID is verified, when I sign into iCloud on iPad it can not verify?

    My Apple ID shows "verified" on the manage my ID page on Apples website, when I sign into iCloud on iPad it can not verify?

    Try 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 iPhone on your device, 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.  Then 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.

  • Can not sign in to Icloud  it keeps coming up the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad 1st generation

    can not sign in to Icloud  it keeps coming up the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad 1st generation

    Error Message: "Cannot sign in.  The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad/iphone"
    I encountered the same problem when I purchased a used iPad for my elderly father and couldn't set it up for him. I called Apple Support...
    Apple support could NOT help me. I was told there is no way to circumvent the 3 icloud setup limit on iOS devices at their end. I was told to use a different mac or iOS device that hadn't met the 3 x limit.
    So, using MY iPad I tried to do that. At first I went to Settings/iCloud. But that is your PRIMARY iCloud account    (and this was MY iPad and I didn't want to screw up my own settings!) which you don't want to trash.
    After some online research (iMore to be exact) I discovered you can setup a secondary iCloud account using:
    Settings/Mail,Contact,Calendars --> Add Acount... -->iCloud --> Get A Free AppleID --> Birthday Q then Security Question - then Name - then Get a free iCloud email address....
    After you get to the new iCloud settings page at the end of the signup process - I deselected all the tabs which made the new account "inactive" on my iPad.
    Next I went to the used iPad that had the initial problems, and tapped on Settings/iCloud. I signed in with the iCloud account that was newly created and was able to then get an iCloud account to work!
    I left the new iCloud account showing on my own iPad (under Mail,Contacts,Calendars) as it is inactive. I am not sure what would happen if I deleted it - it may stop working on my father's iPad then.

  • I can't sign in my iCloud account because of maximum free account in my iPad is full

    aside from that fact that either the username and password is incorrect, how would we know why?

    I can't sign in to iCloud. My Apple ID is valid, but is not valid for iCloud. How do I get to use iCloud?

    You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC by signing with your Apple ID.  You can only sign into an existing account on a PC.  You first have to create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

  • I had to change my apple ID due to someone else using it and changing the password, so now i can't sign out of icloud as the email is wrong and i dont have the password to turn off find my iphone. Help!

    Basically, someone was hacking my apple account for a while and kept changing the password so i kept resetting it, now i've had to change my email as icloud still wouldn't accept my new passwords - even after being updated. Now i can't sign out of icloud due to it being the wrong email and an unknown previous password, as i can't turn off find my phone.ipad. How do i solve this without losing everything as i can't just delete the account and the usb ports on my laptop have gone so i can't back up to my laptop. I'm running completely on icloud but desperately need it to update so i don't lose all my uni work as well off my ipad.

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    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 and some other circumstances.
    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. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    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.

  • Can't verify email for iCloud on iPad or Mac

    can't verify email for iCloud on iPad or Mac / not getting email (I've apple ID)

    I have seen this issue brought up many times here in the community and decided to share my experience. I too could get verification. I had an AppleId before iCloud, it was used for Apple Store purchases. I made sure that the email I was using for the ID was not the same as what I was using for the ICloud ID. Next I signed in to my ICloud ID at
    Appleid.apple.com
    I changed my email to a secondary e-mail I had. It was a gmail account.
    I then verified that email address by logging into gmail and responding to email sent by apple.
    I logged back into iCloud account and added an additional email to my account. I added the email that previously wasn't receiving the verification.
    I then verified that email address by checking and responding to verifying email sent by apple.
    I then logged back into iCloud account. Both emails I entered were verified. (primary and secondary)
    I EDIT ' ed the primary using the secondary email address.
    This removed my secondary address and made it my primary.
    It was verified previously so I was done.
    I went into settings>iCloud and a verifying email was sent.
    It worked.
    It may seem like a lot to do, but it works.

  • HT201317 can i sign into my icloud account from a friends computer so i can get to my pictures

    Can I sign into my icloud account from a friend's computer so i can get to my pictures?

    What you need is a file named Domain.sites (iWeb 2) or Domain.sites2 (iWeb 3).  Copy it from your laptop to your other computer at home.
    It's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.  Place it in the same folder on the other computer. 
    All the files for the site are contained in that file/package.  After editing you will have to publish the changes to your hosting server.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
    To open your domain file in Lion or later or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
