Can't Update Recently Changed Apple/iCloud ID on iOS7 and Can't Reset iPhone
I changed my AppleID and password shortly after updating to iOS7. I tried to change my ID on the phone, but it seems to have locked in the old ID for certain functions. I cannot change my iPhone iCloud ID by deleting the account or reset the phone as it requires the old ID and password. I changed my Apple ID because my email address was old and no longer exists so I can't just revert back to the old one as I won't be able to perform the email verification. Please help!
After multiple hours (since 23:00 last night and some sleep) I found a solution. I did install the "Find my Friends" app. This did not fix the issue directly, but I am not sure it was required for the following steps to progress properly.
My solution:
Changed my alternate Apple ID email address to a second, active, non-Apple domain email.Verified the email address.
Changed my primary Apple ID email address to the old inactive email account.Could not verify this via email (obiviously).
Went to iCloud settings in the iPhone and deleted iCloud settings on iPhoneThe ID now matches and the current password worked
Changed Apple ID to the previous active email addressVerified this address
Logged in iCloud on iPhone with the proper Apple ID
Appears to work properly now.

Recently I changed my apple id but forgot to change my iCloud account.
I also have Find My Iphone activated. My old apple id was an old work email address no longer in use nor can be accessed.
I need to be able to turn off Find My Iphone in order to then delete my iCloud account, I need to include my apple id password to turn off Find my Iphone.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance.helpmeIphone5s wrote:I also have Find My Iphone activated. My old apple id was an old work email address no longer in use nor can be accessed.Thanks in advance.
Please go to website address: www.idapple.com Go to the blue tab that reads Manage apple id. From there you will have the option to change personal information of your apple id. The fact that the email address you used to create the apple id is no longer accessible as far as an email address goes will not disable you from changing information as part of the apple id account. However to disable the find my device you will need to be able to access this apple id login. Once you are able to access the old apple id account this then will allow you to access the icloud services by going to www.icloud.com from there you will login with your old apple id once logged into icloud.com and you have chosen the correct device you then can erase all contents of the device which then will disable the find my device.
This is one way of doing it. The other way of course would be for you to login to your icloud on your phone using the old Apple id and from there provided you are able to login with password you then can simply disable the find my device inside the icloud account.
Good luck Friend. -
I recently changed my iCloud account because someone stole my last phone and changed all my passwords for both my iCloud and emails account. So when I changed my account I accedently erased all my contacts is there anything I can do? (It wasn't backup)
I'd say your best bet is to try to regain access to your old account. Call 1-800-MY-APPLE, and ask to talk to the account security team. Hopefully they can verify you are the account owner, and then reset the password for you.

I recently changed my iCloud email address but now when I try enter my debit card details so I can download music it says I have to contact iTunes support why?

I recently changed my e-mail account. I had to reset my apple I.D. and password. All was fine, now when I attempt to login to install updates it shows my old I.D. I don't understand this because when I go into settings it shows my apple I.D. as my new one
I think what is happening is that you changed the email address for password recovery to the new one - the Appleid (and software "attached" to it) remain irrevokably linked to the id you purchased it with.

hi i have the same apple id for my iPad and my mac. my iPhone has a different one. My i cloud on my mac seems to be the iCloud on my iPad, if that makes sense so its not sending my photos from my mac to the cloud. how do i change it to upload mac pictures instead? thanks
Did you go into Settings > Store and then tap your old ID, sign out and then enter your new ID?

After change to Mavericks my Mac become too slow e I can't use it because stays asking passwords for "talagent" and "messages agent" as icloud keys. I got changed the icloud password many times and still doesn't work. I can't open any program.
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access. -
Apple TV only showing trying to change date and time. I have recently changed to a new wifi provider and need to change the settings in tha ATV box.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Also try restarting the router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123. -
Text Messaging stopped working after changing Apple password, although it is still working on my iPhone. I tried changing the password in the Settings>Messenger, but can't get it to work. What do I do?
After I type in the message and click on the Send button, "Sending" is displayed, but at the end of this process, a message under the message says "Not Delivered".

I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect. It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network. Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?
First, try tapping on the network in the Wi-Fi settings and then tap "forget this network". Then reselect the network in the main Wi-Fi settings screen and see if will then ask for a password. If not, try resetting the Network Settings in the General -> Reset section and then reconnecting to your W-iFi.
Hope this helps. -
