"Catch 22": new e-mail and password on iCloud

Hi,
I'm in a "catch 22"-situation.
Background:
I am using iCloud on my mac, iPhone and iPad.
I changed my e-mail address and my password for my iCloud account.
I deleted the iCloud account on my iPhone and reentered the iCloud account with the new e-mail address and password without problems.
Problem:
I want to delete the iCloud account on my iPad as well, but I can't. In order to delete it, I have to type in the password to my previous iCloud account e-mail (which I changed to a new e-mail address). None of the passwords (neither the old one or the new one) works. I only have the option of using the old e-mail address as log on (the e-mail address field is grey and cannot be edited in the log-on pop-up window).
I have tried to change the e-mail address and password back to the previous status before I made the change, but it doesn't matter. Neither passwords work and I am not able to do anything with the e-mail address in the log-on window.
It seems that I am caught between a rock and a hard place. I probably should have deleted the iCloud account on my devices (iPhone and iPad) before I changed the e-mail and password for the iCloud account, but I didn't.... As I mentioned, it worked on the iPhone, but it does not work on the iPad.
Is there anyone capable of helping me out of this "catch 22"? I would be very grateful.
Thank you so much in advance.
Kris

Go to Settings>Store and sign out of existing account and into the other one.

A quick search of the FAQ's on the support site gives you the deafult security code:
Q: What is the default security code in my Nokia phone?
A: The default security code for your Nokia phone is 12345.
Note: Once you have changed your security code, the default setting is no longer valid. If you have changed your security code and don't remember the new code, contact your service provider.

TS5223 Updated to iOS8. I don't remember the password for my old Apple ID or the password for that e-mail. I can't delete the iCloud account without knowing it, although my iTunes and everything else is set to the new Apple ID and password. Help?!

I keep getting pop-ups telling me to sign in to my iCloud and it's very annoying. I have no idea what the old password was, and I don't really have a way of changing the old password because I also don't know my password for the e-mail address connected to it (it kept telling me that the answers to my security questions were wrong, but I'm not sure what other answers they would have been). Therefore, I created an entirely new e-mail and a new Apple ID and everything else is set to that ID... except iCloud. Is there any way to correct this, or am I out of luck?

If your device is signed into an old iCloud ID, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID*, do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then 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. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).
* If that's not the case, you'll have to contact the Apple account security team and ask for assistance resetting the password for the old ID: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. You'll have to be able to prove your identity to them before they will do this.

I am from Bangladesh. I can't log in with my gmail Apple ID. When I put in the mail and password, and press sign in, it says it has to review on iTunes. Then I am directed to opening a new account. But why should I , since I have one. Plz help :(

Hi Ishrak,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are trying to log into with your Apple ID, or what exactly you are seeing (alert message, directions, etc) when you try to do so. If you continue to have issues with your Apple ID, you may find one or more of the articles linked from the following page helpful:

We just bought two IPhone5C's and tried to retire our info from old phones to the new. The problem is my phone showed my husband's e mail and password under I cloud and his showed mine! Crazy..we did not dare to restore as we thought we would get each oth

We bought two new I Phones 5c...and we went to restore from the cloud but we did not feel comfortable because his phone showed MY Cloud e mail and password and HIS phone showed my e mail and asked for my password.. we were afraid that we would backup each others info on the wrong phone? Wonder how to straighten this out with the Cloud...help?

You would really have to ask the app developer if there is a way to export the data.
As for adding a printer, you would need to purchase an AirPrint compatible printer and connect it to your wireless network.
By the way, your holiday letter/rant/Idon't even know what to call it... is completely inappropriate for these forums.

Lost mail and password however I am still logged n...

Please I lost both mail and password, I never purchased anything from Skype. However I am still logged on my iPad I don't want to lose this account. Please help me with this.

You need to switch of Find My iPhone with her Apple ID & password.
If you no longer have your iOS device
If you didn't follow the steps above before selling or giving away your iOS device:
Ask the new owner to erase all content and settings as described above.
If you're using iCloud and Find My iPhone on the device, you can erase the device remotely and remove it from your account by signing in to icloud.com/find, selecting the device, and clicking Erase. When the device has been erased, click Remove from Account. After you erase the device, you'll need to wait 24 hours before you can activate iMessage on your new device.
If you're unable to complete either of the above steps, you should change your Apple ID password. Changing your password won't remove any personal information that is cached on the device, but it will make sure that the new owner can't delete your information from iCloud.
Deregister iMessage if you're switching to a non-Apple phone.
If you're using Apple Pay, you can also remove your credit or debit cards at iCloud.com. Just choose Settings to see which devices are using Apple Pay, then click your device and click Remove next to Apple Pay.

If I have a new apple ID and password do I lose all of my old apps if I sync under the new apple ID?

If I have a new apple ID and password, do I lose all of my old apps if I sync to my new apple ID?

I'll ask my question differently. I have multiple devices and I sync them to my itunes account. For one of my devices, I gave it to a family member. I changed my itunes password and did not give it to the family member who has one of my devices. Will they be able to update applicable apps not having the new password?
Also, if that family member opens their own itunes account and purchase apps and sync the phone, will they lose all the apps that was purchased from my itunes account?

I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which not longer exists and I don't know the password. HOw can I get them authorized to my new email address and password?

I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which no longer exists and I don't remember the password. How can I get these tunes transferred to my new email address and password?

In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
Thanks for your help.

I am trying to link my PC to my Mac and Iphone and I pad. I can't use my Itunes account on my PC - when I try and enter Icloud on my computer i get a server error after I put in my e-mail and password.

Question - Trying to use Icloud on a PC - I get a server error after I put in my e-mail and password. Why? I can sync up all my devices from Itunes with my MaC, Iphone and IPad but I can't do it with my PC

I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!

Have updated email add now passwords don't work and old email is still displayed so created new apple ID and password ,now app store still using old email /password .wat to do now

Have updated apple I D and password
Now appstores still using old apple Id and password
Cannot update or download apps
Created new apple I d and password and now still iTunes using old id and old password doesn't work
Bbaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

Hi Mofomon,
If you want to use the new/updated AppleID and password, you need to sign out of the App Store, sign out of iTunes, etc. and then sign back on with the new ID and password.
To sign out of the App Store on your iPad, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, then click on your old AppleID, click on View Account, and sign in with your old password that goes with that ID. Then click on Sign Out. Once you have the old ID signed out, you can sign back on with the new ID and Password.
New purchases will be done with that ID, but if you actually set up a totally separate brand new ID from your old one (as opposed to simply changing it) then any past purchases will still be linked to that old ID, and will require the old password for updating.
If you simply changed your existing AppleID, then the new password will be what is needed for updating.
Cheers,
GB

I need to delete old apple ID and password and assign new apple ID and password. FIrst Apple ID was Compromised

I need to delete the name of my old apple ID and password since it was hacked. I created a new Apple ID, and password they work fine getting in and out of account however Apple has kept my old hacked account in their record for updates. I also can not use ITunes applications because Apple has kept old hacked email in their system and they are matching it up to my IPAD and my IPOD touch serial numbers I believe. Any Idea how I can fix this my self without buying their phone warranty plan? I have gone into settings and tried updating info their and with apple on phone once before they said they fixed it and now the latest IOS 6 update won 't load to IPOD TOUCH due to this.
HELP !!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!?????????????AT A LOSS ON THIS ONE???????
Any suggestions would be appreciated?

First, if you still have access to the hacked account, rename it if you can and change the password for it.
How to change the name you use for your Apple ID
If needed, change the email linked to it as well. Get control of that account back.
As all iTunes purchases are linked to the account that purchased them (music, apps, etc) it is best to rename an account rather than creat a new account. Apple ID's can't be deleted or merged either.
From Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you need further Apple ID help, you will want to contact Apple, Apple ID Support
or maybe iTunes Support
