Hello i can not activate icloud from my ipad2 my old email address is my apple id.

i can not activate my icloud account from my ipad2 it will not verify.

ok maybe i should of worded it diferently
i curently have an apple id that i have had for years "[email protected]"  i have since signed up to icloud and i cloud emails and i selected  "[email protected]" for example! now when i try and update my original apple id  "[email protected]" with my new @me.com email address it wont allow me!
i dont want to have 2 apple id's cause all my emails assosiated with my original apple id (eg Receipts from apple) go to my old email address and not my @me.com email!
does that make more sense ?

  • I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and recently got an Iphone4. I can not access Icloud from my computer. Is there any software, new operating system or anything I can purchase that will allow me access to the cloud?

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
    Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
      1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)

  • I can not activate iCloud since I can not find it in the Appel settings in the menu.

    I can not activate iCloud since I can not find it in the Apple settings in the menu.
    What shall I do?

    On a Mac running OSX 10.7.2 or above go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign in with your Apple ID. You canot create an iCloud account on lower systems.

  • After I updated to iOS 7, my iCloud account is showing the incorrect email address for my Apple ID but will not allow me to change it- it's gray and I can't click on it. How do I fix this?

    After I updated to iOS 7, my iCloud account is showing the incorrect email address for my Apple ID but will not allow me to change it- it's gray and I can't click on it. How do I fix this?

    If you change your email, you do not need to "change" your AppleID. Just edit your email(s) on your Apple ID by logging in to your AppleID account. You should always use the same AppleID for  Apple Services (iCloud, iTunes etc) and multiple ID will cause problems and confusion in the future.
    You can manage your Apple ID here:
    https://appleid.apple.com

  • Changed Apple ID email Ok,however old email still linked to iCloud lost that login password and can't retrieve or change it because that old email address is not active anymore.

    Hi all,
    I had to change ISP and therefore I had to change my email address.
    Did that easily for my Apple ID for both iTunes, iPhone and iPad.
    However the email address for the iCloud somehow stayed attached to my old dead email account.
    I can't delete the account off the iPad for some reason it still comes up with the old email address for the Apple ID.
    I can't get an email sent to rectify it as it's dead! I can't reset it as my current Apple ID password is incorrect for that old email address.
    Any ideas on how to rectify the issue?
    Thanks.

    If the old ID is yours, and if it 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.

    My icloud is showing a very old email address,while myitunes / appstore email is showing the new email address? How do i remove the old email address from icloud?

    Welcome to the Apple community mohinderjeet.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
    This article provides more information about Activation Lock.

    How can I stop Hotmail from pushing all my old emails to my I-phone?
    I have just got an I-Phone and linked it with my Hotmail account but it keeps pushing through 50 emails to my inbox so its always showing 50 messages. How can I get only my new email sent to my phone?
    Cheers,

    Since this is an Outlook question, you should ask over on the Microsoft Office for Mac forums.

  • How can I cannot access icloud as I have an old email address which i can no longer access and have forgotten password

    How can i access icloud on my phone as the account is an old one which I can no longer access and I have forgotten the password?

    If your Apple ID is the one that you use for making all of your purchases, it should, automatically appear in FaceTime already. How a no longer valid email address got there to begin with is a mystery to me, if in fact you do have, and have been using another Apple ID.
    Go to Settings>FaceTime>Apple ID. Tap the old email address and sign out, sign in with your Apple ID. It should be verified and allow you to select it as the address that you can be reached by for FaceTime.
    If that does not work, time FaceTime off, restart your iPad and then start all over again.

  • We had to change email and I can't access the old one. iCloud sends instructions to change passwords to the old account. I have tried deleting the old iCloud and create a new account, but it shows iCloud sent verification to the old email address again!

    We had to change our email address and I cannot have access to the old one. I have changed accounts but iCloud sends verification instructions to the old address. I deleted the old but it won't let me access a new account without he verification and they keep sending it to my old email address.

    Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer.  I can't figure out why it won't let me do that. 
    The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos.  I can't see videos, music, or anything else.  What's going on?
