Changed Apple ID successfully but won't let me change on iCloud
Hi all
I'm so confused, can someone help please? I successfully changed my Apple ID on my Mac and this is confirmed and is now verified. I've followed the instructions on how to change details on my phone and ipad and have done what it said (followed instructions in this linkHow do I change my apple ID e mail address on my phone), but when I go to iCloud in 'Settings' and click on 'delete account' it asks for my password associated with the previous email address. I have put this in but it is not recognised and just keeps asking me to put it in again.
It's the same with my iPad. I have a lot of photo's and stuff stored in iCloud and I can't access this on any of the devices. Help!
Thanks
Try these instructions : iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud

I want to use free apps on Ipad 2, but it continually asks me to submit a credit card in Itunes. I do not wish to purchase anything apps or music. I am only interested in free apps. If I were to make purchases, I would use a prepaid card like an itunes card or an app card, but NEVER a credit card. I can't seem to bypass this option of using a credit card and need to. I have another Ipad 4 and have never needed to use my credit card to migrate past itunes to use any apps. How do I get past this credit card request and still use my ipad 2. According to my Ipad 2, if I don't plug in a credit card, I can't even use free apps which is stupid.
You can create an iTune and App Store account without credit card details
1. Sign out of current Apple ID if you are sign-in to one (important)
2. Go to App Store and select a free app
3. Tap INSTALL APP
4. Create New Apple ID
5. Confirm Your Country
6. Agree with Terms and Conditions
7. Fill in your Apple ID and Password (you must create a new Apple ID; don't use your old Apple ID)
8. Create and answer your secret question
9. Select NONE for Payment Method
10. Fill in Billing Address
11. Submit application for new Apple ID
12. Wait for verification email
13. When email arrive, verify your account
14. Start downloading your free apps -
My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer. For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it. I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud. How do I change the Apple ID (not the password)?
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too. -
My ipad is stuck on Apple ID Security and won't let me go anywhere else. It is frozen on this. Tried to shut it off and turn back on, but it still come up with this window.
I was updating the ios 7 and it ask for my icloud information. I just now started it up and it let me do the changes. Thanks.

I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??
Can anyone advise me on what I need to do?
My existing account is linked to ireland as my bank account details are there, does this make a difference?
Please help!Until you get a UK bank account and credit card, buy and redeem UK iTunes gift cards for use in the iTunes and Mac App Stores. But you need to switch your region/country to the UK store in your account information, as you can't use UK iTunes gift cards in the Irish stores, the gift cards are country specific.

Texas Mac Man, we seem to have the same hardware and ios. Maybe you can help direct me to a solution for a similar problem. I tried everything as best i could on the relevant support page, but I'm still stumped.
Problem: when attempting to sign in to either Facetime or Messages, this alert appears: "Could not sign in, please check your network connection and try again" when signing in to your Apple ID
Device affected: iPad2
Device NOT affected iPhone5C
I have not tried turning off Airplane mode, out of fear that it might lock in on my mobile carrier and may charge me for data use from the iPad... I upgraded to the iPhone plan and eliminated the iPad data only plaN, keeping it on airplane mode ever since.
Details
1. The problem started after downloading and installing the latest iOS 8.1 for iPad.
2. I used this internet connection to download the iOS 8.1 update, and am now on Safari connected to the internet through this device to find out why Facetime won't work.
3. The wifi settings allowed the previous iOS to send/receive iMessages... And are sufficient to currently watch Netflix movies on this device... Given that iDevices don't change network settings from common use, and my iPhone can send iMessages while in airplane mode and on wifi, the settings must be correct.
4. I've successfully signed into my iTunes account on both my laptop and this device using the correct Apple email ID and password. I've successfully logged onto my Apple ID from the Apple website to confirm emails and IDs are verified, through Safari on this device.
5. My Apple ID is my current valid/alternate email address. I've signed into iCloud on both laptop and iPad using this password. I've emailed myself to and from my Apple ID email using this device. I've also tried signing into Facetime using my alternate Apple ID.
6. Time zone is correctly auto set to my nearest time zone town. When set manually, the problem is still present.
7. Cellular data connection is not subscribed for this device. This device with previous iOS has been able to use Messages through this wifi connection as it is currently configured. Attempts from various wifi/coffee spots to sign in using Apple ID and all possible alternates do not resolve the problem.
8. Even though this suggestion was not listed under this specific error message, I decided to try "waiting 24 hours" and the same error still results. It isn't clear if waiting means specifically not attempting to log in to iMessages.
I'll try waiting more and see where that gets me.
Thanks -
I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this? I had started using it for a few hours and tried getting the update and now it won't let me activate the phone. I also can't call the helpline because it won't let me leave this screen on the phone that says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." What it says on iTunes after I fill out the activation info is "There was a problem activating your iPhone. Please contact Verizon Wireless at 1-800-922-0204 to have this iPhone added to your account. Click Continue to be able to explore its features and the App Store." Please help this is driving me nuts!

Took delivery of imac yesterday with pre-installed Pages, Numbers and Keynote. App store says they need updating but won't let me because I've never owned the major version of the software. I have paid like anyone else, so why can't I update?
You must be signed into the Apple Store with your Apple ID or it won't work.

How to deal with a 100 Store Error:
Try here > Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here;
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Now here:
~/Library/Preferences/
Click Go
Move these files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
com.apple.appstore.plist

Now here:

Click Go
Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Empty the Trash, try the App Store. -
I'm trying to update to the latest software update 5.0, but won't let me do it. I have done a restore and tried again but still no luck. Any advice?
The Original update for Apple TV was to 4.4 then a bugfix appeared called 4.4.1 Both of these have issues so Apple Pulled them and currently 4.3 is the current version for Apple TV IOS. In fact there are a number of comments in other threads where people carried out the upgrades only to restore back down to 4.3 because they did not work. Guess we will wait for Apple to send out an update.

when trying to download apps, it's telling me to choose 3 security questions, but won't let me view the 3rd question, can anyone help plz ?
Reboot your iPad and then see if you can set the security questions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -
Cannot remember security answers ...I can get into my account but won't let me purchase because I'm buying off a new I phone or a new laptop .. Spent 45 min on hold last week to be then told someone would contact me back never happened

If it's not accepting your answers, then if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use
