Can't sign into icloud on my iphone4 as it holds a now defunct email address which I can't access to amend ? Thanks in advance!

Hello - I can't sugn into my icloud account on my iphone4 as it has a now defunct email address linked to it. Because I can't sign in, I can't amend!
Can anyone help please ?
Thank you.

When you say your having issues with the App Store? Are you trying to download or updates apps?
If you're trying to download you need to go to your setting-iTunes and App Store and sign out of your old Apple ID and sign in with the new one.
If trying to update, any of your old apps that have been purchased with the old Apple ID will still be tied to that Apple ID until you delete those and then re-download them with the new Apple ID.
Hope this helps.

I can't sign into iCloud because my Apple ID doesn't work there. For some reason it gave me a .mac email and I don't remember the password. When it gives me the option to reset my password, it's my Apple ID password which I don't want to do.

What do I do?

Hello Martin,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iCloud account on your Mac. I recommend signing out of iCloud first:
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.

If you are still being prompted for your password, I recommend the steps in the following article (this article refers to an iOS device, but the steps are still relevant for your Mac as well):

Do you have 2-step verification on for your Apple ID? I may have a solution.
When I upgraded to Yosemite and subsequently updated my Apple ID, I would get errors when I tried to sign into iMessage and FaceTime using my apple ID (and my new password), I similarly was not able to sign in. On FaceTime, I would get errors like "unable to sign in at this time" or some times just nothing at all (the spinning 'processing' graphic would grind away until it presumably just timed out).
Turns out that I enabled 2-step notification on for my Apple ID (totally forgot about it, I set it up a couple years ago), and apparently the regular Apple ID password that you choose is not usable when you try to log in to iMessage or FaceTime through the programs themselves (intuitively, this makes sense since these programs do not have a way to prompt you for the "2nd step" code).
To solve, you have to log in to your Apple ID online (appleid.apple.com or whatever), and look for the option to "Generate App-Specific Passwords". These are unique, random passwords which are made to work around issues like these since they can be used in iMessage or FaceTime or what not. This is the same idea as to what you have to do to log into gmail on your iPhone if you have Google 2-step verification on.
This solved my issue (after lots of swearing and hair pulling!). Would have been nice if a I got some sort of warning when updating my Apple ID password that "Hey, you have 2-step enabled. Go make some app-specific passwords or you will lose 5 hours of your life trying to solve this mystery"
Hopefully this may solve yours

Can't sign into iCloud in the pref pane.

I can't sign into icloud in the pref pane. I get a pop up asking me to log in again and under the username and password it says my user or password in invalid. This is kinda curious since I can login with the same user/pass to itunes store and icloud on my ipad. On my wife's user account I was able to set up her icloud with no problems. Any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem. Did you find any solution?
All services connected to my Apple-ID works fine, apart from login into iCloud prefpane.
I tried creating a new user, and that could actually log into my iCloud account. But my main account is having this problem though.

I can't sign into iCloud. It says the maximum number of accounts allowed has been used. iPad is secondhand. How do I clear it of previously used accounts.

I Can't sign into iCloud. I get a message saying that the maximum number of free accounts has been reached on my device. It is a secondhand device that had been wiped. The seller has no idea why this is happening.

Thanks for reply. I can't get find my iPad. I've just looked in App Store to no avail. My daughter in law says I need to sign in to iCloud for that an that's not possible. My phone is an android an finding apple very difficult to use but she has phone an pad an she connected my pad to laptop to try an sort it with no luck. She also sent some docs to my kindle app through iTunes. I just tried to update Amazon an got asked for password for her email address instead of mine. This iPad is a nightmare. thanks anyway from Sally.

I can sign into and use iTunes but I can't sign into icloud.

I can sign into and use iTunes with no trouble but I can't sign into icloud. It makes me think I must have a different password. I go to the reset password area and choose via email but the email never comes. It's not in junk. I don't know what to do

Hi Adam ...
Make sure you have logged out of the iTunes Store then try logging in to the App Store.
And try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store. Click Account right side of the App Store window and see if you can login.

Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.

Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.
I'm using their account and will continue to reset their password and settings until they either get the message or Apple do something about it and disable or migrate their account so that I can use MY OWN email address for my own purposes.
I don't want to be informed about Apple products and services for someone else on my email account.
I want to be able to use it MYSELF for iTunes
All I am asking you to do is migrate their apple ID to their alternate email account settings and free up my email address so that:
A. I can use it and B. I stop getting messages about their account history.
Either that or just cancel their account as they have no right to use my personal details.
Yes I could set up a new email address but WHY THE **** should I? I've been using this email account for years for personal stuff, it's not mu fault if someone can sign it up as an AppleID without me being able to confirm their sign up process!
Your move Apple, make it count.

Hi Sister Kate,
If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -

I bought pages ages ago using an iTunes account that no longer works as the email address has been closed down. How can I now update my Pages app, if it asks me to sign in using this now defunct email address?

I bought Pages ages ago using an iTunes account that no longer works as the email address has been closed down. How can I now update my Pages app, if it asks me to sign in using this now defunct email address?

All apps are always tied to the account from whaich they were purchased and will always have to be updated using that account.
Just because the e-mail account is shut down, has nothing to do with the itunes account. Why did you create a new account? Why not just change the e-mail associated with the old account?

Ever since I updated to the iOS 8.0.2 I can't sign into iCloud or my apple account and I can't open some of the pages

after downloading the new iOS 8.0.2 on my iPad I can't sign into my itunes account or iCloud
struggles to open pages I also have problems with my iPhone 5S since downloading the software
can an some help please

Nellymay,
I would recommend reviewing this article. You may want to consider beginning at step five:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
A restore of the device, and setting it up as new will help with the software issues you've described.
Thanks,

I can't sign into iCloud from my iPad

When I try to sign into iCloud on my iPad using the Settings app, I get the message "User name or password is incorrect". I know that's not the case because I just signed into iCloud on my computer using exactly the same user name and password.
Moreover, when this happens the Settings app locks up. I can't dismiss the alert that says the user name or password was incorrect. I have to force quit Settings app to do anything else with it.
I've attached a screen shot of the Settings app and the alert message.

I just figured it out. I had to manually delete my Mobile Me account from my iPad before signing into iCloud. Problem fixed.

I can not sign into icloud on my laptop

I can sign into itunes and access my account on my iphone but I cant sign into icloud on my laptop???? It wont accept my password and I know its correct

What are you trying to set up on your iPhone? ICloud or iTunes Match? The two services are separate and are not the same thing.
