Forgot icloud email. Need HELP

     i recently reset my entire iphone 4s & when i try to activate it is asks me for my icloud email & password which i no longer remember

Hello Jonathan,
It sounds like you need to find your Apple ID email address and possibly reset the password as well. I have 2 articles that should help you get that accomplished. First to help find your ID:
Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625?viewlocale=en_US
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) and click “Find your Apple ID”.
Enter your first name, last name, current email address, and any prior email addresses that you might have used to create an Apple ID. Apple uses this information to search for Apple IDs.
If no Apple IDs are found, follow the onscreen instructions to create an Apple ID.
If one Apple ID is found, choose whether to receive an email from Apple or answer security questions. Both options will conclude by asking you to reset your Apple ID password. Follow the instructions provided.
If multiple Apple IDs are found, select the one that matches your current email address. Then choose whether to receive an email from Apple or answer security questions. Both options will conclude by asking you to reset your Apple ID password. Follow the instructions provided.
And for resetting your password if needed:
Apple ID: Changing your password
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5624
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
Click “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID. If you're unable to receive messages at your trusted device, follow the guidelines for what to do if you can't sign in with two-step verification.
Click "Password and Security".
In the "Choose a new password" section, click Change Password.
Enter your old password, then enter a new password and confirm the new password. Click Save when done.
The next time you use an Apple feature or service that uses Apple ID, you'll be asked to sign in with your new Apple ID password.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

    You do mean your home network that your Mac connects to - correct?
    but the ipad will not recognize (accept) my password. where do i go from here?
    Make sure that you typing the password correctly - check upper and lower case letter - make sure they are correct. This is a problem with inital setup? Back out of the setting and then come back and try again.

  • HT5622 I need to change my iCloud email address help?

    I need help with iCloud account. Got a new email address need to change In iCloud very frustrated can not figure it out. Help

    First, if you haven't done so already, go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and manage your Apple ID to make the necessary changes.  Then, to change the iCloud ID on your iOS devices, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

    You need to return it to the seller and get your money back.  You cannot reset or use the device with another AppleID installed unless you know the password for that ID.
    If the device has been jailbroken, no one on here can give you any further help...the Terms of Use prohibit us from doing so.

        MsPrettyPoetic, thanks for these details. It's important that you have a working device especially when seeking employment. When purchasing a new device, you are provided with the option of subscribing to insurance http://vz.to/1fToAKL which will cover your device for this physical damage. Do you have an alternate phone that you can activate on your line until you're eligible to upgrade? http://vz.to/12m2lHL

  • Security Questions and Rescue Email "need help"

    The AppStore won't let me purchase anything and it keeps asking for my security question but I donn't remember it and the rescue email is not the one I choosed. Please somebody help I just added money to the account too need help A.S.A.P.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • ICloud email change help

    I changed the email I was using for iCloud a while ago. I recently got a different iPhone, and it continues to prompt me to sign into iCloud, but it has the old email in the email spot, so obviously when I try to sign on it won't work. It also does not give me the option to type in the new email address. That part is grayed out so I cannot change it. Help!

    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.

  • New to iCloud and need help please with getting it working

    I've got an iPad 2 and an iPhone 5 and have decided that it's about time to set up iCloud on my devices. I have followed the instructions on the website and in the icloud settings on both devices have switched on mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, safari, notes, photostream (my photo stream-on), documents and data, find my iphone, and icloud backup on. I have ensured that both devices have been backed up and automatic downloads on iTunes & App stores have all been switched on.
    I have not yet set up my PC for iCloud.
    My understanding is that icloud will sync new downloads and photos etc so I have just tried taking a picture on my iphone, expecting it to appear in my camera roll on my iPad and nothing has happened.
    Please can someone advise me if I am doing something wrong or how to resolve this.
    Many thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

  • Calendar in iCloud deleted - need help to get the data back

    Hi,
    I just deleted one of my calendars in iCloud. Is there any chance to get this calendar (with all the data) back into iCloud?
    Thanks for your help.
    Pierre

    how? I should have a backup at my time machine from earlier today. Do I need to completely restore my MBP to also get my calender data back? Note that i only by accident deleted one calender (my others are ok)
    thank you

  • ICloud email needs a lot of work

    Does anyone know if/where Apple has a place to report bugs with iCloud.com apps?
    The email app is pretty unstable.  Most of the time, searching doesn't work at all.  It just spins for a while and then tells me that it can't complete it right now.  Most of the time, composing new messages doesn't allow me to attach anything to the message.  Just throws up a weird error.  Sometimes attachments work just fine.  There's almost no rhyme or reason to it.
    And finally, the iCloud.com mail app itself is incredibly slow.
    Definitely a lot of work needed.  Earthlink's email client was better 5 years ago.

    i think things will be better tomorrow. Tomorrow is IP6 Day.

  • Problem with icloud email please help

    My icloud e-mail is not working but the other services work just fine.  Help

    I would like to add that the emails don't seem to be sorted on my laptop at all (so maybe it's more of an iCloud issue than an iPad issue). This morning all the emails I deleted or moved to other folders were there again.  Not good.
    any ideas?
