Changed Apple password and ID with device open
Hello,
recently I changed my apple ID and the Password after my iPhone got stolen. But the iCloud on my iPad was still open when i changed it on my new iphone. Now i can only access the iCloud on my iPad via my old email-address, which doesn't work anymore. I can use the iPad, but it keeps asking me to login to iClid, on m old email-account.
I don't know how to install my curret apple id on my ipad, if possible at all.
Regards
So it sounds like you changed your Apple ID before signing out of iCloud on your iPad, right? If so, follow these instructions:
1. Go to Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your current ID and password, and EDIT your Apple ID back to the old email address. This is temporary. Do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
2. Go to Settings>iCloud on your iPad, and delete/Sign off of the iCloud account. Follow the prompts, and provide your current password when asked.
3. Go back to Manage your Apple ID, sign on with the old email address and the current password, and change your Apple ID back to your new email address (you may need to verify it again).
4. Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign into iCloud with your updated Apple ID.
Cheers.

Change Apple Password - Now Pages Won't Open iCloud Files
Last night I changed my apple id password. Now today I can't open iCloud files (Pages Files) while inside the pages Application. I CAN open them going directly into iCloud via the web.
There must be a setting somewhere - perhaps where I need to re-enter my apple password on the mac or ....?
Kindest.
Using:
Pages 5.5 with Yosemite, working on a file I created with same five days prior.Helllo Jim,
Indeed, it may help to sign out and back into iCloud in System Preferences -> iCloud.
On your Mac: Open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.

I can't use my apple password to open icloud. I changed my apple password and still can't open icloud on my pc. What can I do or what am I doing wrong.
ThanksSorry to ask but... are you absolutely certain you have entered your Apple ID and account password correctly?
If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud and the iTunes store, see if you are able to log into the iTunes store from either your computer or your iPod. -
I changed my ID Apple with another email, i received the confirmation, i changed my password and also received the confirmation but when i try to download something on my iPhone it still shows me my old email and nothing works ! ahhhhh what and how do i solve this ?
On your iPhone go to Settings > Store.
Select the Apple ID at the bottom.
Select Sign Out at the menu selection provided.
Follow this by signing in with your new Apple ID/iTunes store account.
All apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps. In order to install an app update for the apps downloaded with your previous Apple ID/iTunes account, you will need to use that account and password. -
I changed my Apple password and I get the information back at the wrong email address. My email address is right under my Apple ID. How do I get this corrected?

Okay so I associate the e-mail address as the apple ID and that seems to be a wrong assumption. I did go to my Apple ID and changes the e-mail address and the password but for the same and only Apple account I have ...
That is good. In that case, your one and only account has not changed, just the login credentials you use for it. All your previous purchases will remain associated with that account, and the new login.
In essence, an AppleID is an email, but it has two parts. One is the login email address and password everyone traditionally thinks of as an AppleID. But that in turn is linked to an account with Apple. As long as you use the manage Apple ID portal to just change the email address and/or password for your exisiting AppleID, then the internal account tracks along with those changes as well.
However, on your iOS devices, you will need to log out and then log back in with the new login credentials:
settings -> iTunes & App Stores - tap your AppleID, and choose log out. Then log back in with the new email address and new password. -
How can I use iCloud again after upgrading OS to Mountain Lion? 2 days of trying every password I have ever used, AND changing Apple ID and iTunes ID, still nothing. Can't backup on iCloud anymore.
Apple ID's can be used for anything, a single ID can be used for all your accounts (ie iCloud, iTunes, MAS, Apple community etc), ideally this would be the way forward. So far as iTunes goes you need to continue to use the same ID as you have always used or you will lose access to your previous purchases and your iTunes match subscription.
If you are using a second ID for iCloud, you can continue to do so or use the ID you use for iTunes, but if you choose the later you will need to move all your calendar, contact etc data to the account using the ID you use for iTunes.
When (if) you change which account you use you would delete the account on an iOS device and log back in with the correct details, on a mac you would sign out in the iCloud system preference pane. -
My husband and I are divorcing and we have used his apple ID for our 2 apple tv's. He changed his password and now I no longer have access to the 300 or more movies, tv shows and music. He keeps telling me that , there is no way for us both to have it. So, since his Apple ID was the one programmed into our Apple TV's he has custody to everything. I know there has to be a solution for this, because I can't be the be the only person this has ever happened too!
Unfortunately the situation is thus...
Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

I changed my Apple password, and now one of the iPhones on my account cannot do FaceTime. It says that it has to be activated....help, my grand daughter is going to assassinate me!!!
Yes. I have tried that. When I use the ID I had before, it sets it up as a new account and I don't want to lose my stats attached to my old account.
Let's say that my old nickname was "user10" and I used the email, "[email protected]" for my apple id. I changed my apple id to "[email protected]" and it changed my game center account to "mynew" and somehow I am friends with my old acct, "user10". I tried getting a password reset for "user10" but I apparently don't know my own birthday, which is possible because I usually give a false one, but the same false one each time. -
HT204053 I just changed my Apple Password and icloud does not recognize the password.
I just changed my Apple Password and icloud does not recognize the password.
To change it on your iPhone you have go to Settings>iCloud and delete the account, then set it up again with your new credentials. When you delete the account from your phone it will delete any data you are syncing with iCloud (such as contacts and calendars) from your phone but it will remain in iCloud. Provided your are signing back into your existing account and not changing to a new account, it will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.

I have been trying to download items from itunes store, but keep getting the error message "your Apple ID has been disabled. I changed the password and updated billing information, but still get this error message. This involves free apps which I was trying to install.
I am having the same problem. I went through the process to have the ID unlocked (Changing password etc.) and was able to log in here on the website to post this message. Why am I still getting "Your Apple ID has been disabled" as a message after verifying the account here and signing in and out on my Device. This has been issue on my Ipad as well.
Thanks. -
I changed my apple password and now FaceTime won't recognize it. Says apple id or password is wrong, what need I do?
Hello solarkey,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with logging into FaceTime after updating your Apple ID password.
First, I recommend toggling FaceTime off and then back on:
Toggle FaceTime off and on in FaceTime > Preferences.
Additionally, you can click on your Apple ID in FaceTime > Preferences to sign out and sign in with your new password if you have not entered your new password.

The email is sent to your recovery email. That email is not the same as your Apple ID. If you haven't assigned one with your Apple ID do so here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
