Changed my Apple ID and this is what happens....
I changed my apple ID last week, i figured if i change it then it would be the same on all my devices, boy was i wrong! ive nothing but trouble since i did... i changed it to my @me.com email address, which i now cant verify becasue i cant access my me.com email until i verify it!!
Ive spoken to 3 different apple support agents over the phone, which werent much help, though i was told its a problem they are getting quite a lot at the moment.
So anyway... nothing working still, contacts all gone, documents all gone, anything related to iCloud GONE!! atleast until i can verify my Apple ID.
I sent a suport message to iTunes as i was told they were the only ones who could access Apple ID information and this is what i got back

I made a new Apple ID and everything has been changed and then I am trying to update candy crush and it is asking me for an old apple ID and this hasn't happened before
Games and media are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.
Either log in under the old ID to update Candy Crush or delete the game and
then download it under the new ID. All in-app purchases and progress will be lost.
Why did you make a new AppleID, if I may ask? -
I have just had to change my apple ID on the apploid site and that worked. I got an email to verify and did so. Yet when I try to use my iPad to purchase it is still showing my old ID so I can't make a purchase through ITunes or apps. I have gone on my ID account a number of times and the new one does work to sign in. I can't work out how to get my IPad to recognise this change or edit in manually through the IPad
If the old ID ("email address") is your ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new 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.

I have kept getting some sort of messages about my apple id or icloud being disabled or something like that. My mail @me.com doesn't work, I can't send messages, Safari and Chrome won't let me do anything. First I thought it was just the Chrome. So I deleted it and then went to the app store to re-load it. I don't know what to do. I'm "old and moldly" so I'm not technically "savy". How can I fix this????

Well... if Apple doesn't solve this like DFI did my mainboard... lets just say ima be ####ed BAR. There is NO REASON that should happen.
update
Ots worse now.. lol. Just turned it on 35m ago and the screen displays nothing but white multi colored lines (vertical length wise of the screen)... they are sending me a pre-paid box to ship it back to them in... if they try to pull a fast one... oooohhh... This has never been dropped... failed in under 15hrs from first charge. My guess... the battery expanded and pushed the LCD connector loose. Anyone else wanna take a guess? cries under 15hrs old and only got to use it for 4 hrs.*
I should also note- it happened while it was charging.

I had to change my Apple ID and password. Now when I try to download or buy an app it says your Apple ID is disabled. How can I fix this?
If it says "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons", then you will just need to change you password by following these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2446
If it does not says "...for security reasons" you will have to contact the iTunes Store to have your account 'un-disabled' http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
Good Luck. -
Hi, I have a Power Book G4 Tiger 10.4.11 and my problem concerns iTunes 9.2.1(5). I have changed my Apple ID and password recently. Since that, I am told, only when I try to buy something in iTunes Store, that my "session has expired". Where does this come from? What should I do to solve this problem ? I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you in advance.

I NEED HELP!!!!!!
i changed my apple id and my password (for the apple id), but on my ipod and mac book pro my old apple id keeps showing up for icloud, and i cant put either password!!! Trust me i tried.. What should i do???? So please help!!!!!!On your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.
If you're running iOS 7 on your iPod and old ID is your ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new 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 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.

Some times when I press the home button to read my finger the screen becomes black and it shows the Apple logo, this take a few seconds to get back the screen and this has been happening even 3 or 4 times in a row!
What should I do?Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

I have changed my apple id, and its ok when i sync my Iphone with Itunes, but ON my Iphone still my old apple-ID is there. I can NOT buy things from Itunes or Upgrade anything now, how to fix this?
I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices.

After successfully changing my Apple ID and password on my MacBookPro, I can no longer connect with iCloud on my iPad2 or iPhone 4. Both devices have the latest OS updates, although the MBP is 10.5.8. When attempting to connect with iCloud, Settings has my old ID, and won't allow me to change it mnually.
I'll surly appreciate a solution!Well, first of all, your MBP can't work with iCloud, you need Lion (10.7) to do that. So it shouldn't matter what you did on your laptop.
There may be some confusion here. There is the Apple ID that your iTunes uses to buy things at the app store as well as songs and video. Then there's there ID used for iCloud. They are not necessarily the same. When you say you changed the Apple ID and password on the MBP, that was for iTunes (since it can't use iCloud). Or did you access iCloud with a browser and change things that way? -
I get the following error message when I connect a usb ethernet adapter to my new MacBook Pro: Unsupported - You cannot use an Apple USB Modem with this computer. I live where we only have dial-up and the Apple Store said this is what I need. In addition, when I connect the phone to the connecter it falls out, it will not click in.
Why are you using a usb ethernet adaptor? Just plug the modem into the usb port.

Went to Apple Support website & changed my Apple ID and password successfully but when I went to my iPhone 5c to close Find My iPhone I was asked to give the password of the OLD Apple ID, which no longer exists. I went back to Manage My Apple ID and tried to use the new ID. I was told it was recorded as my backup ID. How do I get the ID to go across all apps.--to sync?
You need to do the following to delete the iCloud account from your device:
1. Go back to Manage your Apple ID 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 iPhone, and scroll to the bottom of the screen and Sign Out/Delete the iCloud account . Type in your current password when asked. Follow the prompts to complete the sign out/deletion.
Also, sign out the old Apple ID from Settings>iTunes & App Store, Settings>Messages, Settings>FaceTime
3. Go back to Manage your Apple ID, sign on with the old Apple ID and current password, and EDIT the Apple ID back to your new Apple ID (you may have to verify it again).
4. Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with the new Apple ID
Sign onto any other apps with the new ID as needed
