Changed my Apple ID email, but ICloud does not recognize my new login, only my old one (which is now non-existent) HELP!

Changed my Apple ID email, but ICloud does not recognize my new login, only my old one (which is now non-existent) and requires the password to do anything. Everytime I go onto the ICloud  page it shows my old email and requires the password, but I can't exactly type in a password because that won't work. I can't find a way to change my email or delete ICloud.

If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate 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.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • Changed my Apple Password on iMac; iCloud does not recognize new password on iPad.

    I changed my Apple password on my iMac. Now I repeatedly get the message that my Apple password is invalid on my iPad when accessing iCloud or iTunes. I tried syncing my iPad with my iMac. This did not help. Any solutions?

  • Icloud does not recognize my new ID & i can not use icloud to delete the account for a new one

    i cloud does not recognize my new Apple ID on my mini ipad i had no problem with mac book & iphone  only with the ipad

    Did you change the assigned email address of your account before you tried to change it on the iPad? If yes then you would have to change the ID back to the old email address, then sign out, then change it back to the new address and then sign in again.

  • I recently changed my Apple ID password, but it does not work on iCloud. How can I fix this?

    Yesterday I changed my Apple ID password. Now iCloud keeps popping up now and then telling me to log in. And I enter the new password and it doesn't work! I am 100% sure that I am entering the password correctly. That popping up of iCloud is so annoying

    Try to:
    1) Login on www.icloud.com and see if it works from there
    2) Remove you iCloud account from the Mac, and readd it
    3) Reset your password again: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617

  • I had to change my Apple ID and my phone does not recognise my new id.

    I had to change my Apple ID since I've gotten my iphone 4s. My computer recognises my "new account"  but my phone does not. This poses a problem when I have app updates and the password promt has my OLD apple id and not the new one. Anyone have any ideas with what can fix this? Thanks!!! =-)

    No need to double post.
    Again, as stated, apps are FOREVER tied to the AppleID under which they were purchased.  If you change your AppleID, the apps purchased on the old AppleID will NOT work.  If you want to keep your new AppleID, you will have to purchase all those apps again, or else you'll need to keep changing your AppleID on your phone back and forth.

  • Windows 7 does not recognize either new HD or returned old HD

    Notebook G61 overheated and shut down.  System Mechanic said HD was near failure, so I replaced it.  Startup disk selected the proper system image and wanted to restore, but hit error code. 0x80042414, saying Windows did not find any disk which it can use for recreating volumes present in backup.  ...  So I replaced the old HD, the startup disk began, selected the system image to restore, and I got the same msg.  So now I have nothing to use, as it will not recognize either HD

    Hey Barbara_,
    First I would like to welcome you to the HP Forums!
    Since you replaced your hard drive, and is not being seen. Plus getting the error 0x80042414, usually means that the hard drive you are trying to write to has not been formatted properly. I have included a link to the following thread, 'Can Windows 7 System Image able to restore to a new HDD?'. This thread has several different options for hopefully resolving the issue.
    If you are still experiencing the issue, please let me know the new type of hard drive that you have purchased, and who the manufacturer is.
    Looking forward to working with!

  • Ipod does not recognize that it is only synced to one computer

    After connecting my ipod (classic 80gb) to itunes to transfer some music and
    charge battery, this appears on the screen "This ipod is snyced to another itunes library. An ipod can be syced with only one itunes library at a time. What would you like to do?" It is only synced to one computer.
    What adjustments do I have to perform to make it work like it should?
    This is my first experience with an ipod. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    This is the *Mac OS X Technologies > iSync* forum, you should ask in one of the Windows iPod & iTunes forums.

  • ICloud does not recognize iwork.

    Hello guys, I have a broblem.
    I have iwork 9', but iCloud does not recognize it. When I go to iCloud, it offers me to buy keynote, pages and numbers..., any ideas?
    I can send my files to iwork.com (beta), but can not send it on iCloud.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Tnx

  • TS3988 I have no trouble with email but IPhoto will not recognize my server when I try to send a photo to a friend. Anyone else have this probelm ...a solution??? N

    I can email but IPhoto does not recognize my server to enable me to send email photos. Any advice?  N

    I've been having this problem too, but here's the catch: originally it was only with my dad, and only sometimes.  Now it's dad and husband, every time!  Pix go through, via imessage, to everyone else, and they go through to dad/husband if I "send as text" after it fails. 
    And the other annoying thing- the blue bar will run all the way, and it will say "delivered".  So I close out of imessage. When I reopen it again, the "delivered" has changed to "not delivered" with the red exclamation point.  I just googled "imessage not sending photos" and founds TONS of people with the same problem, but no solutions.  (I have rebooted phone, reset network settings, with no luck.  I even had to backup/delete/restore my whole phone the other day for a different reason, and hoped that would fix it, but now it won't send to my dad OR my husband (who is on not just the same carrier, but the same family plan as me)

    If you see that pop up you enabled icloud. Whether you want or do not want now to use it irrelevant until you actually disable activation lock.
    In order to do that you have to change your apple id back to do that just long enough to sign in and back out. System will ask you to verify, don't.
    Just sign in on the prompt you getting and then logout. Once done, change apple id to what you have now and verify. Then decide if you want to
    use icloud (who does not want to be able to track their phone if lost or stolen).

    The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

    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 am trying to copy photos from an iPad to a Mac Air, but iPhoto does not recognize them. Please forgive the ignorance, but we have just started moving to apple products and I know nothing about them. Do you have to use PhotoStream to do this?

    How did the photos that you want to copy off get on the iPad  ? To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a Mac you should be able to use iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
