How do I disable an old apple ID so that iCloud can function for me?

I recently enabled a new email address for myself and everything seems to work fine on my Mac and iphone except for icloud. I keep getting messages that pop up asking for my password to my old apple id and it never recognizes it when I put it in. Why won't icloud recognize my new apple id and password? How do I disable the old one for good? When I go into settings, the informations seems to be all correct but I still keep getting the same old annoying messages.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Have you actually signed out of your iCloud account in system preferences and logged back in using your new details. Until you do this iCloud  will not work properly.

  • How do I delete an old Apple ID stuck to iCloud when the email address no longer works and neither do the passwords or security questions?

    I know I shouldn't have, but I put in my new Apple ID before deleting the old one which was an email address that had shut down. Now the password, rescue address, security questions all don't work and I cannot access the old email address because it no longer works. I cannot delete the old ID from iCloud because I have to put in a password to shutdown find my iphone first. I am going around in circles. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • How do I disable a previous apple ID where the email is no longer valid and it has my incorrect birthday?

    How do I disable my old apple ID where I have 1) forgotten the password, 2) the email is no longer valid (so they can't send me my password) and 3) it has my incorrect birthday (so I can't answer the security question to have them send me a new password)?
    Also, I set up a new apple ID on my iphone, but it won't accept my itunes card.  It says I need to complete all the information highlighted in red.  However, there is no information highlighted in red.  It seems to want me to put in a credit card.  Is there any way around this?

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • How do I get the old Apple ID off of my iPhone and the new one installed?

    I got a MacBook Pro and decided to create a new Apple ID different from the one I previously had. How do I get the old Apple ID off my iPhone and the new one installed?

    When I tried this, my music stayed the same whereas my new iTunes has only about half the music it used to.  How can I get all the music to clear out so that it can sync my new music to it.  Simply connecting it to the MacBook Pro and pressing Sync has not worked.

    Hi.
    I had a similar problem myself. This is what helped me.
    I went to the App store app, scrolled to the bottom, logged out of the account, re logged in with my Apple ID.  Then went back to app updates. Once I put in my ID password all was fine.

  • How do I delete an old Apple ID and still update apps purchased when I was using it?

    How do I delete an old Apple ID and still update apps purchased when I was using it?

    One, you cannot delete an Apple ID, all you can do is stop using it and let it fade away.
    Two, apps are permanently tied to an aPple ID and can never be transferred to another.  You must use that same ID to update an app, or delete the app and repurchase/download under another ID.

  • How do i remove my old Apple Id from iPhone's iCloud setting which does not exist anymore

    Purchased new iphone 5s, installed with itunes restoring backup from iphone 4 (which was too old a backup). It restored an old apple id (which i do not use anymore) in the iCloud settings while having my new Apple Id in the Itunes & App Store. I cannot turn off the iCloud setting due to old AppleId popping up - which does not exist.. How do i remove the old Apple Id from icloud setting on the phone.
    I cannot erase the phone as it asks for the password for the old Apple Id. And i cannot do the restore again (after i made a recent back up my iphone 4) as itunes asks me to turn off Find my phone.

    The Apple ID exists. The email address you used to create it may not, but the Apple ID does. Call AppleCare and ask to speak to someone in account security.
