How do I access backed-up material after i changed my Apple ID

Good morning I am trying to get to my backed-up material that is under a previous Apple ID.
Until July I had only one Apple ID. I had a personal I-phone connected to that account and also a work iPhone.  From July I no longer had the work phone but know that somewhere a whole raft of photos had been “backed up” to the Apple ID.  In July I also had the feeling my account might have been compromised, so I changed the Apple ID.
I have just set up iCloud as I want to manage all the previous photos and the music from one place. On my personal iPhone under the Settings/General/Usage menu it says I have 4.2 GB of space available on iCloud. Under the Manager Storage section it shows my old work phone as having 538 MB and my personal phone at 233 MB. Firstly, how do I access that stored material? Secondly, if go into the Settings/iCloud it shows my account as being the old Apple ID – which you can’t change. You can delete the account but then I’d be in danger of deleting the 538 + 233 backups/stored material.
Any help gratefully received thanks.
Jack

You need to restore the last backed up library and check it to see if it's working and contains all your photos.  When asked select Keep Both when restoring. 
When you're satisfied your photos are backed up delete the restored version and continue with the orignal library.

    I don't know if this is a similar problem but I wrote 2 notes yesterday on my iphone. I opened my mail to print them and they appeared as notes but wouldn't load. Then I looked at them on my iphone and I could see the notes but they quickly updated to blank with a time of the last edit the same time I tried opening them on my computer.
    Yesterday I updated to 4.3.4  I don't know if somehow that affected them. Are they stored somewhere else. Can I get them back?

    Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them originally. Did you try entering your old password and see if that works?
    If you need to sign out of your old account go to Settings>Store>Tap on your ID and sign out. Sign in with the new one.
    you can also access your ID in the featured tab of the App Store. Swipe to the bottom of the screen and you will find it there as well.

  • How can I return back to OSx after installing Lion?

    I'm disappointed. After installing Lion, everything is slower. The best thing I had last year was my new MacBook Pro, because everything was fast.. (sleep, opening programs, multitasking...etc) Now, everything takes forever. How can I return back to OSx?

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard. I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.

  • TS3972 How can I access the files(movies,music,etc) in my Apple Time Capsule(4th Gen) from my Apple TV(3rd Gen). This is very frustrating Apple has not provided a basic feature, and me buying the Time Capsule and Apple TV is an complete waste of bucks.

    I have an Apple TV (3rd Gen) and Apple Time Capsule (4th Gen). How can I access Movies and Music stored in the Time Capsule from Apple TV. This is very  n't give frustrating that Apple doesn't give their customers with an straight forward access to their customers in between their own products. Iam repenting that buying these products is completely waste of bucks. Appreciate your help...

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Time Capsule is clearly announced as a router with a hard drive to make backups, not to store anything and share it with your Apple TV.
    To access to movies and music from the Time Capsule, note that the Apple TV can only access to them if they are stored in your iTunes library, so you will have to put your movies and music into iTunes to access to them, and then, put your iTunes library on the Time Capsule in order to access to your data from there

  • After my company changed the e-mail address, I had to change my Apple-ID. How do I update my purchased Apps after the change?

    The renamed Apple ID does not update all the Apps but comes up with the old AppleID, but that ID is not there anymore and neither the old or the new password is working
    On the FAQ pages I just find a long list of Apps, stores tc. that I have to update, but no explanation on how to do that.
    I do not want to buy all the apps again just because I had to change the e-mail address and because of that the AppleID.
    It is ok to remove the free ones and load them again, but the paid one?
    How is Apple handling such things?

    OK, after reading other and similar threads too, I found a solution myself.
    Thought to share it.
    On my iPhone, after the change was made at the AppleID site, I had to logoff from the old AppleID and then to relogon with the new/changed one. After that I could update all apps again

  • 5.0 Toolbar & menu are too hard to see. How do I get back to prior version or change them?

    Menus and toolbar in version 5.0 have white or black on gray. I can't read them. How do I change them or how do I go back to the prior version of Thunderbird?

    I think this is the trend, where you can't avoid updates. It's for your safety.

  • How do I delete my iCloud account that is storing an old email address after I changed by Apple ID?

    I changed my Apple ID online to a new email address, but now my iCloud account on my iPhone still has the old email address when it prompts me for a login.  I can't change the email address, so I want to delete it, but I can't delete it without a password and the password for my new Apple ID doesn't work.  I am forwarding my emails from the old email address to the new, but when I request a reset on my password, nothing shows up.

    If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new 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 iPhone, 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 iPhone 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.

  • HT203421 Can't update or open iPhoto after I changed my apple ID

    Hi, I changed my apple ID username (i.e. email address) and can no longer open or update iPhoto on my mac. It's linked to my old user ID and won't let me change it even when I'm logged in with my new username in the app store. How do I work around this? Thanks.

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

  • How can I access internet w/iPhone after installing new router

    After I installed an Arris DG1670A router I have not been able to access the Internet over Wi Fi with iPhone (iOS8), iPad (iOS7) or Apple TV.
    I have an Apple Time Capsule router that seems to be operating correctly. But only after having made many changes using the Network Diagnostics/Assistance feature. Those changes allowed my MacBook Pro (OS X) and my Mac G5 (OS X )
    After the install of the Arris modem and resetting it to the original password my Epson Printer is working so I believe the problem is within the iPhone, iPad and Apple TV or the Apple Time Capsule.
    I have upgraded IPhone to iOS8, tried restoring it and resetting it's Network settings a number of times without success.
    What changes do I need to make and where do I have to make  in order to have all of my Apple devices to get on line?  

    Change of modem always requires a factory reset of the TC. Even if it is showing green it will still not work properly.. Too much is remembered from the previous setup.
    So factory reset. No files are lost from the hard disk.
    The Factory Reset universal
    Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
    Release reset.
    If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Run through the setup in airport utility again and use new names.. short with no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Not the names that Apple will recommend.
    eg TCgenx as base station name. TCwifi as wireless name.
    Use only WPA2 security with password of 10-20 character pure alphanumeric mix of upper and lower case and numbers.
    Then you can scan for the new wireless name from the devices.. perhaps after deleting all the old wireless names beforehand.
