Changed Apple ID email, iCloud keeps asking password for old email

I recently lost my iPod touch that didn't have a password on it, so I changed passwords of everything I had on the iPod. Just to be more secure, I changed my Apple ID to a new email address too. The problem is now iCloud on my iPhone keeps asking me to enter my password but it keeps prompting the old ID instead of the new one. And of course when I entered the password (both the new one and the old one), it said wrong password or username. I went to iCloud in Settings but the email address is greyed out so I guess I can't change it.
Does anyone know how do fix this?
PS: I was able to manually change the ID for Apple Store but not with iCloud.

Check this iCloud FAQ support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436, however I don't think you can just change the email for the iCloud ID. I believe you have to delete the current account and create a new one.

  • I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id.  Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id.  How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

    I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id.  Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id.  How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

    If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go 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 iDevice, 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.  When finished 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.

  • My iCloud keeps asking me for a password even when I enter it, it still keeps asking. I have tried turning it off but it doesn't work.

    My iCloud keeps asking me for a password even when I enter it, it still keeps asking. I have tried turning it off but it doesn't work. It is really annoying!!
    Please help me!! (The same thing happened on this device and when I reset it, it worked....why isn't my iPad 3rd gen. Working...?)

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • Icloud keeps asking password in iPhone

    Absolutely exasperating.
    On iPhone 5, since a week iCloud keeps asking passwords, and telling me password is incorrrect.
    Then, it says account is unavailable. Then it says it cannot retrieve mail.
    On Macs, all accounts perform flawlessly.
    But, previously, I had a problem with password since many weeks being not recognized by iCloud even from Macs.
    Passwords ARE correct.
    I tried everything (close iCloud, suppressing/recreating account, reinitializing password, reinitializing iPhone,
    reinstalling iOS, etc.).
    I saw many threads related, since a year or so, and no apparent solution.
    Apple is not often annoying, but here they really need to clean their act with this.

    If you've restored the iPhone to factory settings without a backup, re-added the iCloud account on the device and still have those issues, I'd recommend you call AppleCare

  • ICloud asks for Apple ID password for old email account

    My iPod Touch 5 keeps asking me for my iCloud Apple ID password for my former mail address. I have tried entering every possibility I can think of (not exactly sure of my old password) so that I might go in and fix or delete it but it still pops up. I have no access to this old address as the account no longer exists and I am no longer with the provider. My current Apple ID shows up fine when I log in to check it and shows no sign of the old address. Any thoughts?
    Running version 8.1.2

    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.

  • HT1766 I just restored my old iphone data to my new phone. When I tried to send an email, it kept asking me for my email password. I couldn't remember it and kept trying over and over. Now email wont send and I keep getting a Cannot Send Mail:

    I restored my phone data onto my new phone. When I tried to send email it asked me for my email password, which I couldn't remember. Now I keep getting an error message whenever I try to send an email. How do I reset this so it works?

    Until you can enter that password it kept asking for, you won't be able to send mail. You need to go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Email Account you are referring to>SMTP server, and make changes there. If you cannot remember your email password, you will have to get in touch with your provider to be able to change it.

  • I have a 3g iphone and just now started getting a pop up from icloud to enter password for my email and face time? How do i stop this

    i have a 3g iphone.  I dowloaded Icloud months ago.  I have just today started getting popups on my phone to ...Sign in to ICloud... Enter the apple ID password for "my email address that i use on my iphone". 
    Is this a virus? And how do i stop this madness.

    How did you download iCloud with an iPhone 3G?
    Accessing an iCloud account is not supported with an iPhone 3G.
    There are no viruses that affect or infect iOS, unless you have purposely jailbroken/hacked your iPhone which removes all built in security included with iOS allowing you to download unofficial apps from unknown and untrusted sources which can include malware.
    Don't remember where you access your Apple ID with the App Store with iOS 4 which is the latest version for an iPhone 3G, but have you checked there? If so, try logging out of your Apple ID followed by logging back in with the iTunes App Store.

  • TS4020 Online change in Apple ID password as forgot old password. On my mac keeps asking me for old password. Although new password works through iCloud

  • Updating apps asks for apple id password for old email address

    I clicked on update all for my apps and am asked to sign in to itunes store using the apple id password for an old email address.

    Then sign in with that Apple ID. Whether your email changed or not is irrelevant. The Apple ID "name" (often the email address you originally used to sign up) should not change.

  • HT6170 help with changing password for old email address

    I changed my apple id to my new password over a year ago.  Trying to restore my iphone and its asking for the password for my old apple id (old email address) which I no longer have access to.  Tried the 'answer questions' to reset but it won't accept my valid birthdate.  How can I make this prompt for my old email address go away and make it ask for my new one (new apple id).  A similar issue is that iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password for my old email address as well.

    You can't link to your new account (you created a new iTunes account, you didn't update your existing account ?) until removed removed the activation lock to your old account - you can then link it to your new account in Settings > iCloud.
    If you can't get the password for your old account reset via http://iforgot.apple.com then try contacting Support in your country, after confirming your id and that it's your account they should be able to reset it for you.

  • Forgotten password for old email account(iTunes user id)

    The iTunes account I have on my iPhone is an old account with a password no one can seem to remember, so I finally decided to create a new account on my computer. I can download things just fine with my new account on my computer. I synced my iPhone with my computer thinking it would recognize my new account, but it's still asking me for my old account's password, which I don't remember. I can't ask it to send me my forgotten password because I don't have that email account any more (which is my user id on my iPhone). Any suggestions?

    finally decided to create a new account on my computer
    I would recommend sticking with one account and not using a new account.
    Update the info in the account with your new info.
    it's still asking me for my old account's password, which I don't remember
