Have changed apple id and now cant turn on ICLOUD

I recently broke my screen on my 4s. my daughter had recently updated here 4s to a 5s so I decided to backup my phone and restore onto the now spare 4s.
some time ago I changed my email account and as I no longer had access to it I changed the name of my apple ID to my new email account. what I now realise is that I hadn't logged out of the old ICLOD id on my iPhone and logged back in with the new one. I hadn't thought of this as all was working ok (I don't use any cloud services, just find my iphone).
when I restored my image to the new 4s it came up with a message asking me to log into icloud but with the old ID. As that ID no longer exists I cannot login to that ID. As my new iPhone is on 7.x I cannot delete the Icloud account that came onto it via the backup as find my iPhone is turned on.
so I am now stuck as I cannot log onto an account that does not exist.....
help please.

having looked into this a bit more and found I have a bigger problem than just the one i originally posted as this impacts more than one of my devices.
I think I can pose the question in a easier way.....
I changed the name of my apple ID as it was using the name of an old email account I no longer have access to.
when I go onto any of my IOS devices that are running 7.x to change the Icloud account details , I cannot delete the old account id because when I try to it asks me for the password of my old account ID as I have find my iphone turned on. when I type in the password that was on the old account it says "incorrect apple id or password". I assume because that apple ID no longer exists.
ICLOUD obviously recognises the two accounts are the save as when I run up findmyiphone on an iphobe that is logged in with my new account ID it can see other IOS devices in my family that are still logged in with the old account name.
so my questions is:
how do you log you update an IOS device if you have simply changed the account name of your apple ID if you are on IOS 7 and have find my iphone turned on?

HT204053 Forgot iCloud password have changed apple pw and now can't access iCloud?

See my question above
Do not see hoe to creat another password for iCloud and have forgotten original Thanks

Try temporarily recreating 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. Then use the password for your current ID to sign out of the account on your Mac (even if it prompts you for the password for the old ID). If you can sign out, choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then go back and change your ID back to the new email address again and sign in with it on your Mac.

I turned of iMessage and now I want it back on and it's not working, I have changed my password and now I don't know what to do. Is there something obvious I am doing wrong?

I turned of iMessage and now I want it back on and it's not working, I have changed my password and now I don't know what to do. Is there something obvious I am doing wrong? I have done this on both of my iPads and it hasn't let me go back on to iMessage on either of them.

How do i restore my wifi setting back to the factory settings? I have changed it somehow :/ and now my wifi will not connect. My Airport is on and showing full strength but will not connect.

Ok, if other devices are connecting but just not your MacBook then let's start troubleshooting the MacBook to possibly find out why.
Please try each of the following, in order, until hopefully resolved:
Note the following are excerpts from an OS X Daily article.
* Turn Airport on & off – You can do this via the Airport menu bar or from the Network Preferences. This is the first thing you should try when troubleshooting Mac wireless problems.
* Make sure Wireless/Airport card software & firmware is up to date – This is usually done just by going to the Software Update menu, if there are any updates available for your Mac or Airport, install them.
* Delete and recreate connection – Try deleting and recreating/reestablishing the wireless connection, sometimes a setting can be corrupted and this may fix it.
* Create a new Network Location – Similar to the above suggestion, try creating a new and different wireless network location to see if it resolves the connection problems.
* Change DHCP auto settings to manual – sometimes there is a problem with the DHCP server, and if you manually set an IP address on the network you can be fine. Remember to set the IP to a high number so it wouldn’t interfere with other DHCP machines. As long as you have the subnet mask, router, and DNS settings configured manually as well, this shouldn’t be a problem.
* Flush the DNS cache – Launch the Terminal and enter the following command onto one full line within the Terminal: dscacheutil -flushcache
* Zap the PRAM – Reboot your Mac and hold Command+Option+P+R during restart until you hear another chime, let the Mac boot as usual.
* Delete Wireless Config files – Delete com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist and com.apple.internetconfig.plist files from ~/Library/Preferences and reboot
* Trash your home directories SystemConfiguration – Remove all files within ~/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and then reboot your Mac.
* Reset your Mac’s System Management Controller (SMC) – For MacBook and MacBook Pro’s: Shutdown the MacBook/Pro, remove the battery, disconnect the power, hold the Power Key for 15 seconds. Replace the battery, reconnect power, and zap the PRAM and wait for 2 chimes before letting the keys go. Let boot as usual.

I have created Apple id and password to set up icloud but its not taking in the same login id and password

I have created Apple id and password to set up icloud but its not taking in the same login id and password. Should i have an Apple product in order to install icloud? becoz i am using HP PC
thanks ria

You can on create an iCloud account on an iiPhone, iPad or iPod Touch( running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher).
After creating an account on one of these devices you can then sign into the account on your PC, but you can't create the account on a PC.

Have changed Apple ID (and email address).i cloud mail still shows old ID. Cannot delete it or use it.

Have changed Apple ID as I have new email address. I cloud mail still shows old ID(email address) and since new download with IO7 cannot use new password and therefore cannot use iCloud mail or indeed delete account. How do I get it to recognise new user ID which is fully recognised in Apple website?

delete the email account and try again

I have a new mac pro. i may have changed the settings and now when i log on it shuts off after 10 seconds. not long enough to check settings.

i am new to mac book pro. i was checking out the settings and must have changed something as now when i log on, it shuts down within 10 seconds and i don't have time to get into the settings. the top tool bar is red/pink. please help!

Close all windows and quit all applications.
Hold the option key down and click the "Go" menu in the Finder menubar.
Select "Library" from the dropdown, then "Preferences" folder.
Look for these two files.
com.apple.desktop.plist
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Right click each one of those and select " Move To Trash" from the contextual menu.
Restart the computer.

Changing Apple ID and how does it affect iCloud?

Hi,
I had no idea where to put this question since it seems to belong in about 3 different sections, but since it involves my iCloud/Apple/iTunes ID then I suppose this is as good as any place.
I've read a few answers to this question but they don't quite supply all the info I'm trying to find so here goes:
I want to change my Apple ID due to the fact that the email address being used is an old, ISP provided, one that I only tend to use these days for mailing list signups etc. Since, when I created my iCloud account when iOS 5 landed, I (stupidly, before reading that most people seem to advise not doing) chose to associate my iCloud ID to my Apple ID I'm finding all iCloud related notifications are coming from/to my Apple ID email address. I don't really want my shared Calendar changes being sent from/to this account as they can get lost in the deluge of cruft. Obviously in an ideal world I would want to change my Apple ID to my iCloud email address so that the notifications would be coming from there, but obviously this isn't possible yet. I live in hope it may be at some point (foolish I know but hope makes me happy). On that topic, I find it ridiculous that all my other 'verified' email addresses in my Apple ID can be used to change my ID to except the Apple provided me.com one due to that "you cannot use a MobileMe address as an Apple ID since it already is an Apple ID" message. I have never been a MobileMe user. Just iCloud. Maybe when MobileMe goes away this restriction might get lifted......unlikely I suppose but again, I can hope.
First question: could I just delete this iCloud account from my devices (including the Mac) and create a new iCloud account but this time choosing NOT to associate it with my Apple ID? I'd lose my current handy iCloud email address, and have to resync contacts etc but it might be worth it.
Secondly, I tried changing my Apple ID yesterday to another verified email address but lost all iCloud access, due to the Apple ID association I guess. If I deleted the iCloud account on the devices and signed back in with the new Apple ID would that bring me back to where I am now just with a different tied Apple ID? By that I mean full access to current contacts, bookmarks etc etc., without having to resync from anywhere?
Thirdly, which ID is it that controls access to iTunes Match? Apple ID or iCloud ID? Since it's part of iTunes in the Cloud it could be either. On my Mac I'm signed into iTunes with my Apple ID obviously. This gives me access to iTunes Match on the Mac. On my iPhone when I changed my Apple ID and signed into the Store in Settings I still had no access to any iCloud services, including iTunes Match. If I had deleted the account and signed in with the new ID would this have re-enabled iTunes Match? What would happen if the iCloud ID wasn't associated with the iTunes/Apple ID?
Hope most of that made sense. It did in my head.

Apple ID's can be used for anything, a single ID can be used for all your accounts (ie iCloud, iTunes, MAS, Apple community etc), ideally this would be the way forward. So far as iTunes goes you need to continue to use the same ID as you have always used or you will lose access to your previous purchases and your iTunes match subscription.
If you are using a second ID for iCloud, you can continue to do so or use the ID you use for iTunes, but if you choose the later you will need to move all your calendar, contact etc data to the account using the ID you use for iTunes.
When (if) you change which account you use you would delete the account on an iOS device and log back in with the correct details, on a mac you would sign out in the iCloud system preference pane.

Changed Apple ID. Now cannot log onto iCloud

Changed Apple ID. When I try to log onto iCloud with the new ID on my iPhone5, it kicks me out of settings before it completes verification. Did not have this problem on iPad Mini, just on iPhone.

Try resetting it (hold the sleep/wake and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release). After it restarts, try again.

HT201269 I appear to have a software problem and I cant turn off "find my iPhone" in the settings. I therefore cannot restore the phone from the backup on my computer. Any ideas or will have to send the phone back to Apple??

My iPhone 5s has stopped accessing wifi. I would like to restore the phone but it will not allow me to turn off "find my iPhone" in the settings tab since I cannot get to the net. Is there any other way to turn off "find my iPhone"

There is! Click here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2702
