Changed Apple ID and now can't reset my iPhone 4

When I initially bought my iPhone 4, I had my iCloud account associated with a yahoo email address. Since that time I have switched my iCloud account to a gmail address.
The issue is I can't reset my phone because it only recognizes my yahoo address, so when I try to reset the phone it asks for my iCloud password associated with the yahoo address. Regardless of which password I enter, it does not allow me proceed with a full reset. What are my options?
Thanks!

I should mention that I upgraded to the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 4 in question is not associated with my iCloud account.

HT204053 Forgot iCloud password have changed apple pw and now can't access iCloud?

See my question above
Do not see hoe to creat another password for iCloud and have forgotten original Thanks

Try temporarily recreating 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. Then use the password for your current ID to sign out of the account on your Mac (even if it prompts you for the password for the old ID). If you can sign out, choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then go back and change your ID back to the new email address again and sign in with it on your Mac.

I have changed my email address so I changed my Apple ID and password. Just realised haven't changed icloud details and now can't access as don't know password or security questions. Want to delete and set up on new Apple ID.

In order to change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 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.

Hi Jamjoint,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
It sounds like your Apple ID is used for both the iTunes & App Stores and iCloud. If you edited that Apple ID before signing out of the iCloud on your devices, it may be necessary to edit the Apple ID back to the original email account so that you can sign out of iCloud. Once signed out, you can edit the Apple ID back to the new email account and sign back in. Please use the attached article for further information.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

Go to Settings>Store (or iTunes and Appl Store) and sign out and sign back in. If problem go to Settings>iCloud and make sure you are signed into the new iCloud account. You may have to create a new iCloud account.

Changed user name and now can't sign in -HELP!

I just wanted to change my user name, so I went to accounts and just changed that, not the password or anything else...I restarted my computer and now I can't sign in with the new OR the old...what can I do?

I followed these steps:
Resetting the original administrator account password
Follow these steps to reset a password when there is only one administrator account on the computer, or if the original administrator account (of several) needs a password reset. "Original" administrator account refers to the one that was created immediately after installing Mac OS X. If the original administrator password is known, the original administrator user may reset the passwords of other administrator accounts using the steps described above.
Start up from a Mac OS X Install CD (one whose version is closest the the version of Mac OS X installed). You should first disable Open Firmware password protection, if it is enabled. Hold the C key as the computer starts.
Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger). Tip: If you don't see this menu or menu choice, you're probably not started from the CD yet.
Select your Mac OS X hard disk volume.
Set the user name of your original administrator account.
Important: Do not select "System Administrator (root)". This is actually a reference to the root user. Do not confuse it with a normal administrator account.
Enter a new password.
Click Save.

Software was updated today at Apple Store, and now can't access photos and videos in iPhoto

I brought my iMac into the apple store today as I was having issues with programs freezing. They wiped everything clean, reinstalled my programs and updated me to the current version of OS. After I transferred my info back in from my back up hard drive, I went into iPhoto to check to make sure everything was ok. I got a message stating that I had to update iPhoto to work with the current software to be able to view/use pics. I clicked ok, and everything updated. When I now go to iPhoto, all of the events are labeled correctly, but all but 2 are black with no key photo (even though I designate one). Basically, the screen is all black with all the blank black event squares. As I scroll down, the key photos will appear for 1 second, and then disappear. When I go into the event, I see all of the photos very small, and when I try to enlarge them or click on them to edit or view, I get a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle of it. When I click on any movie/video, I get a message saying that "the movie contains an invalid data reference". I have about 8,000 photos.
What is going on and how can I fix this?????

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Error Message- Changed email passwords and now can't scan to email

Changed google email accounts and now wont scan to email, error message.
How o I change or confirm passwords. It has also lost air print.

Hi @sellingsf ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you need to update teh settings for your scan to email feature and have an Airprint issue.
I would like to help.
First you will need to gather your printers IP address.
Touch the wireless icon on the front panel of your 8600.
If it says IP no link, your printer has fallen off the network. This would be why Airprint is not working.
Once you have the printers IP address, open safari or chrome.
In the address bar type the printers IP address and press return.
This should take you to the printers Embedded Web Server (EWS).
Once at the EWS you should see the scan to email setup.
Choose the option to edit the email and type in your new password.
Save and test.
With the inability to Airprint, go into system preferences.
Then go into printers and scanners.
Select the 8600 plus and click the minus icon to remove it.
once the printer is gone, click the plus sign to add the printer again.
If you encounter any 'hiccups' or require further assistance, please let me know.

Deleted English keyboard and now can't log into iPhone from lock screen

I downloaded SwiftKey for my iPhone 5S after updating to iOS8 and found that it didn't pop up as the default keyboard for the phone. I went to keyboards and deleted the standard, iPhone English keyboard which then made SwiftKey the default. In 20-20 hindsight it was a very stupid thing to do, but it really seemed like a good idea at the time, and it did make SwiftKey the default. Of note, I still had the Hebrew keyboard loaded as a secondary keyboard.
The problem is that when the iPhone locked out, the Hebrew keyboard now comes up in the lock screen. I have no way to switch the lock screen keyboard to English characters so that I can input my password. Effectively, I am now unable to log into my iPhone. I tried turning it off and on and also tried a 'hard reset' by pressing both the power button and the home button until the iPhone reboots. Still no access to the English keyboard on the lock screen....
I have the Phone backed up completely on my computer at home--how do I get the English keyboard back so I can log in? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Okay. I know I'm not the only one who has this problem, because I just answered another query. After playing around with the iPhone a bit and talking to the guy in our IT department I found the answer... I'm posting the answer to my own question so that if anyone else has a problem they can find the solution here.
You will need a computer with iTunes running and your sync cable.
Here's what I found out... If you hold down the power button and the home button for a ridiculously long time (close to a minute and it might cycle through the plain apple picture twice) you eventually will get the a screen that looks that looks like an iPhone sync cord and an arrow pointing to a red iTunes logo.
You can then hook the phone up to your computer, boot up iTunes, and the phone will be recognized by the computer. After that, you simply go to iTunes and pick the option "restore iPhone" and that should work... This will reset your phone to the factory settings.
Once this is done, you can sync to iTunes again and restore all your phone from your iTunes back up. If you don't have a back up, this will probably wipe out the data on the iPhone, but at least you'll have a working phone when you are done.
I'm really kicking myself for removing the English keyboard, but as it was an option to remove it, I couldn't imagine that the phone would have a problem like this if I eliminated it. Apple will really need to rethink this one if they give the option of removing their English keyboard.
Good luck!

How do I reset my Apple ID and password after I reseted my iPhone

My child lock my iPhone 4S and I had to reset my whole phone by connecting to iTunes on my PC and that was successful now as I was setting everything up again it was telling me to enter the Apple ID and password but it's not working so I was wondering how do I reset both of them

Did you buy this phone new? Or Used? Or did someone else have this phone previously?
Sounds like you encountered the activation lock. If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must enter the previous Apple ID and password in order to use the device. If you cannot do this chances are You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.
