Changed my apple id now can't access my icloud acct.  not the same password and I don't know it

Can't access my icloud acct to back up data to another phone.  I am the primary and until I can access my icloud account the other phone won't back up.  How do I access my icloud password.  I have changed my apple id password 4 times and still no success.  Now my apple id is now incorrect.  Yikes!  I have had a call with Technical security and they are puzzled as well.  Couldn't help me... is there anyone that has had this issue?

If you changed the password for your AppleID, the only way to change that on an iOS device is to delete the iCloud account, then add it back with the new/updated login credentials.  It sounds awkward (well, it is I guess), but you just need to do that - delete the iCloud account then add it back.

  • I changed my apple id now can't access iCloud

    I got hacked, the support center gave me new I'd with new email. Now I can't access iCloud because it is stuck on old Id, help please I don't want to lose everything from pictures to downloaded apps. How do I access iCloud with new email and Id? How do I change iCloud Id and keep everything?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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.

  • HT202860 changed my apple id now can't access iPhoto

    upgraded to yosemite
    changed apple id
    can not access photos

    To use applications that are associated with your old AppleID, you need to sign into the AppStore with the old AppleID, if you need to update the apps or reinstall them.
    Is the problem that you need to update to iPhoto 9.6.1 and cannot?
    Do you  iPhoto on the Purchases tab of the AppStore, when you sign into the AppStore with your old AppleID?
    You may need to unhide your Purchases as described here at this link:  Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
    If you see the apps among your Purchases, try this User Tip:
    Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
    The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.

  • HT204053 I just changed my apple ID, how can I make my icloud link up with my new ID?

    I just changed my apple ID, how can I make my icloud link up with my new ID?

    Did you simply change the primary email address of your existing AppleID at
    https://appleid.apple.com/
    Or, did you create a new AppleID.  If you created a new AppleID, then you cannot.  All you can do is use the iCloud with the old AppleID, or create a new iCloud account with the new AppleID.
    If you changed the primary email address of the exisitng AppleID, you may need to uninstall the iCloud account on the iPhone and reinstall it to get it to use the new email address and password (you won't loose anything, its just there a means of resetting the cached credentials associated with the iCloud account).

  • How can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone

    how can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone
    iPhone 5 iOS 8.3
    I have iCloud turned on, location services on, find my phone works but when I try to access iCloud via Safari on the phone it takes me to a page Apple.com,
    iCloud then three options
    set up iCloud on my phone (i have)
    Install Find my phone, it is installed and it works from my MBP
    or install find my friends, I don't need that I have no friends.
    my calendars and contacts and bookmarks and all are all sync'd and working on the phone, but i thought if I typed in iCloud.com on the phone in Safari I would go to my iCloud web page that looks like this on my Mac.
    Is that NOT how iCloud should/would look on my phone via Safari?
    This is maybe a dumb question after 3+ year of iPhone'ing
    thank you for clarifying or helping me to understand

    I've been playing with a Galaxy here at work and here's what I've found so far - please feel free to jump in and suggest alternative methods to configure or access the various icloud components.
    So the original Q: Can you access your icloud account on Android?
    Not entirely: the website can't be used from an android browser (not properly - even with Dolphin HD and posing as different browsers it won't load correctly.  So Find my iphone is out, so is the address book or looking at your e-mail or calendar just in a browser window
    I was able to setup my e-mail using the IMAP settings published here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    Be sure to setup the account manually - and note if you have trouble using SSL try TLS (that worked for me)
    Address book is a no go so you'll have to use iTunes to sync all your contacts over to Gmail - if you still have an iPad it means managing contacts in two places though .  Same goes for your calendar - transfer it to Gmail and forget about iCloud's calendar.  Nice instructions here: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20064060-285/how-to-switch-from-iphone-to-an droid/
    iWork is an Apple proprietary bit so don't expect much there.
    So in my case, if I'm really going to make the switch to a Galaxy from my iPhone it really means I'm going to have to switch to using google as the backend.  The timing to swap over to a galaxy/android phone is not the greatest - given that I'd have to give up my Apple addiction (syncing photos and itunes and losing access to my device tracking).  Plus I still have an iPad and a mac and like living in the Apple ecosystem.  I think I'll wait and see what the new iPhone looks like before I commit

  • HT204053 can i have multiple iCloud accounts with the same Apple id

    Can i have multiple iCloud accounts with the same Apple id

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    No, your ID is essentially your account. You can have email aliases and you can have multiple accounts, but I don't think that's what you are asking.

  • HT5624 My husband just got an iPhone also, can we have separate iCloud accts? All my contacts and appointments are now on his phone too.

    My husband just got an iPhone also, can we have separate iCloud accts? All my contacts and appointments are now on his phone too.

    I had the same problem too.
    Yes, you can go apply for a new AppleID, which would be <your account>@icloud.com.
    Then put this new AppleID into the icloud account field.
    After this action, you will not be seeing the same contacts and appointments.
    But for the itunes store, you still can use the same AppleID so that you can share purchases.
    My wife and I use separate icloud accounts, and then we use a 3rd appleid for our itunes store. This allowed us to have separate contacts but still share itune purchases.

    Your subscription allows for you to install on two machines.  One condition is that only one of the installations can be in use at any given time.

  • I bought Logic Express in September for the $200 that Apple is now charging for Logic Pro. Anybody in the same boat? Is it worth another 2 bills for the the Pro? Is there any kind of "upgrade" pricing?  Thanks, all

    Itunes asking me my billing verification again and again on the same computer. I don't know why it behave like this. Anyone can solve my problem?
    I already provided my 3 digit CVV number but Itunes again need to confirm the code whereas on my Office Computer I am purchasing Apps on Itunes without verifying my billing information again and again except once at the time of creation of account.
    Please help me as I am charging by my Credit Card bank by US$ 1 each time when I give verification code.
    Thanks

    4) Click the Edit Payment Information button.
    5) Select "None" as the payment type.

    Phase 3:
    Download a free content on to get recognized in iTunes.
    To ensure your account is functioning, try downloading a free item from the iTunes Store. To do this, navigate to the iTunes Store main page by clicking the Home icon near the upper-left corner of the window. Scroll down and click the "FREE ON iTunes" link near the bottom of the main page, then select an item to download.
    After you are able to download the free App try updating the billing information as usual.

  • I have only 1 ipad device, can I create 2 icloud accounts for the same ipad?

    I have only 1 ipad device, can I create 2 icloud accounts for the same ipad?

    Of course.
    To create the first iCloud account, open Settings > iCloud, type your Apple ID and follow the steps to set up iCloud.
    Then, to add a second iCloud account, open Settings > Mail, Contacts & Calendars > Add Account > iCloud, type the second Apple ID and set up iCloud for this Apple ID.
    Note that one iCloud account will work as the primary account and the other one as the secondary account. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4020

  • I can't access my iCloud account. The username is an email address that's now inactive. I can't reset my password.

    I need help accessing my iCloud account. The username on file for that account is an old e-mail address of mine that is no longer active. Therefore, I can't even reset my password (because the "password reset" email would go to that old address). Can someone please help me? Thank you!

    Hey there timosurf1,
    It sounds like you have done the Password reset process but are not getting the email. If you have already checked your SPAM folder in your email account, you may want to contact our iTunes Account Security team directly if you can verify your information:

  • Apple ID for iTunes and iCloud are not the same?  How to change iCloud id

    My wife changed her Apple ID via her iTunes account.  Her iCloud account is set up on her old email address and she cannot access it, therefore the Cloud is not syncing.  How can I get the iCloud account to work?  Was the iCloud account changed when she switched her Apple ID and with the same password?

    She will need to sign out completely in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud and then sign back in with the new ID.
