Email address changed, now cannot access itunes

My daugter changed the email address she uses with iTumes. Her password seems to have changed too, without her realising and now she can't get into her account at all. Cannot get any help from Apple and Apple store at Bluewater equally unhelpful, any ideas? Thank you!

If you have purchases on your iPod Shuffle that you want to sync back to iTunes, but are under the Apple ID you no longer have access to, you'll need to reset that account information. You can use this link to reset your password.

If that doesn' work or help, you'll need to contact iTunes support and have them walk you through the process of resetting the older account information.  Once you know the email and password again, you can authorize your new computer and transfer any purchases from this account back to iTunes.
For all non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need to the assistance of some sort of third party software that is not supported by Apple. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • I want to change my Apple ID for IPad because forgot password and all email addresses changed so cannot get informations for password reset. What can I do?

    I want to change my Apple ID for IPad because forgot password and all email addresses changed so cannot get informations for password reset. What can I do?

    I was wondering if you ever figured this out. I have the same issue. When I try to use the support communities, there are so many with the same problems and never seem to be any replys?? Not very helpful and I can not get Apple to return my emails.

  • I changed my email address and now cannot play items purchased with previous email. This only became a problem after I got a new computer. The original email address no longer even exists. How can I access these hundreds of items?

    I changed my email address a few years ago. I did not have any problems after this change until I got a new computer. Now I cannot play items that were purchased under the previous email. I entered the password that I used and it doesn't recognize it. I tried "forgot your password" in every combination possible. I never received any emails at the old email address. Now the old email address no longer even exists. How can I access these hundreds of items?

    The old email address may well still be valid as your iTunes AppleID, however if you have no other email associated with that ID you clearly won't get any automated emails to it.
    I still use an old defunct email for my iTunes AppleID.
    Contact support here:

    You may want to try to manage the old ID here:
    https://appleid.apple.com/
    Use the original email address and password.

  • I changed my email address and now cannot get into my icloud account to change that because I don't know the password

    I changed my email address and my password on my ipad but when I tried to change the address on my icloud account it keeps asking me for my old password which I no longer know. I can't delete the account because I can't access it without the old password

  • IPad re-instiall now cannot access iTunes apps? 16 Aug 12

    Had a problem with app yesterday (14/08/12), would not update and download a magazine I subscribte to - would go through the entire download (5 minutes) and once the bar indicated the download was complete, I recieved a message "Download failed...blah blah blah" . So I reinstalled iPad from my mac book. There were some error messaged but it sort of sorted itself out (had to sync several times to transfer everhything across (music/video/photo etc).
    However, now I cannot update apps on neither iPad nor macbook. Just get this message "Accessing Itunes store' going on for a few hours. I can download podcasts no problem, just the apps an issue. Unfortunately I have to reload my magazine subscribtions - and when I try do so I am advised fie cannot be found as file is missing (cannot relay verbatim here as message takes some time to appear on iPad - everything very slow)
    Found a link which referred to Key Chain First aid to resolve and whwere to find it. However, have looked but but cannot find that specific application - maybe Key Chain First aid no longer supplied (I have a new retina machine - 1 month old, first time mac user).

  • I have changed my email address.  Now I cannot access I Cloud as it won't allow me to change the email address.

    I have changed my email address and now cannot use I Cloud as it won't allow me to change details without deleting old email address.
    How can I change the old email as I have forgotten password and cannot have it sent to me via the old email as it is enabled.
    I would like to be able to turn on I Cloud on all my devices, I phone, I pad and Apple Mac desktop.  Help.

    Hey cnasmond,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issue relating to changing your iCloud account. The following articles may help to resolve your issue:
    iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    https://support.apple.com/kb/TS5223
    3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
    1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    2. Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
    3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    4. Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    I have old email address's I used for iTune music purchases and cannot change password on several old accounts. Now some of the music I purchased I can not download and authorize it on my device. What can I do password security does not match my birthdate on two of the accounts. Apple can not send me email with a password authorization on several current accounts that I have with them. How can I contact Apple with this annoying problem I can not fix.

    settings - app/iTunes store - sign out and sign back in with your new id.
    Note - if your older apps needs an update it will use your old apple id and password, as Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it.
    You can't merge apple id.

  • I changed my aol password on my desktop and now cannot access my emails through my iphone.

    I changed my aol password on my desktop and now cannot access my emails through my iphone. I tried changing the password on my phone but it still says user name or password for aol is incorrect. I have also deleted the account and added back and it still saids the same thing. I would really appreciate any help on this.

    You are referring to your iTunes/app store account? You will need to sign out of your old account on your iPhone and sign in with the new one.

  • I have an old Apple id, created without the email address, and now I cannot access the account

    My account got hacked, so I had to change my Apple ID and related info.
    My original Apple ID was just my name (not an email address).  Now I cannot access the songs and other materials I purchased with that ID.
    I cannot recreate the ID because currently IDs must be email addresses.
    Any ideas?  Someone else posted this question too, but got no feedback.  That was over a year ago.

    You cannot delete an Apple ID, you can only choose not to use it.  Also, your @me.com address is associated with this ID and cannot be moved to another ID or be used to create a new ID.
    All you could do is create a new ID using a different email address with your name in it.  If you do you will have an associated @icloud.com email address.

  • HT204053 I changed my apple ID email address, and now I can't access my iCloud because it was  listed with the previous email address. What can I do?

    I changed my apple ID email address, and now I can't access my iCloud because it was  listed with the previous email address. What can I do?

    If the old ID ("email address") is an earlier version of your current 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 changed my email address and now I can not access iCloud because the old address keeps popping up.

    Is this happening on your iOS device or your Mac? 
    And is the iOS device or Mac signed into the old ID ("email") in Settings>iCloud (System Preferences>iCloud)?
