How to access iCloud if my mail service provider doesn't exist anymore?
I need urgent help from this community. The issue arose when I upgraded my Mac to Maverick. I have lost the connection to iCloud (and all my data) because iCloud asks me to enter the password of a former e-mail address that was discontinued by the sevice provider years ago. When that happened, I changed this mail for another one in the same iTunes account and I have bought many apps and music from then. How can skip this request and get the access back to iCloud? Thanks!!
Go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the new ID ("email address").

Hello, I got a new computer with the old harddisk. Can't play my itunes music because not authorised. Apple ID is very old e-mail adress that doesn't exist anymore and I forgot the password (5 years old??). When chose for secret question birth date seems wrong. Tried everything. I need to make a new apple-id but cannot connect the music that I bought under my old name to my new name. Can't reach anyone!!! Automatic FAQ system is of no help. What to do?
That doesn't help me. For itunes it brings me to the express lane which doesn't help because my case is not in it. It's all standard procedure things. I understand those but my situation is different. The combination of a passport forgotten and an non-existing email adress (and birth dates that are not correct or not accepted). What I need is my password emailed to another email adress than the original one because that no longer exists.

I'm continuing to have major issues getting iTunes to recognized my son's iPod Touch. It was last sync'd to the old computer more than a year ago. I've backed up and updated all iTunes material; Uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled; confirmed other iPods will connect. The only issue I'm having is with my son's Touch.
If you're referring to authorization, you cannot deauthorize a computer to which you no longer have access. Unless you've reached the limit of five authorizations, that shouldn't be a problem. If you have reached five authorizations for that account, there will be a button in your iTunes Store account information that will allow you to deauthorize all systems associated with that account. Log into your Store account and you should see it. You can then reauthorize the computers you're using now.
I'm not sure what this would have to do with an issue with an iPod touch, though. Can you please explain that issue in more detail?

How to access iCloud documents on your mac.
I struggled with this for days and finally found a simple solution.
Here's one way:

Here's another. Thanks to http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/09/how-to-access-icloud-documents-from-the-mac-os-x- finder/
Getting Easy Access to iCloud Documents from the Mac Finder
Placing the Mobile Documents folder in the Finder window sidebar allows for quick access to files in the cloud:
From the Finder, hit Command+Shift+G to bring up the Go To Folder window, and enter the path to the user Library folder found at ~/Library/
Locate the directory titled “Mobile Documents” and drag that folder into the Finder window sidebar, or make an alias, this allows for easy access
If you poke around the “Mobile Documents” directory you’ll find another series of folders, some are named nonsensically based on GUIDs as this folder is not intended for general user access, but each one is in accordance to an application that stores documents in iCloud. Apps including Notes, TextEdit, Reminders, Mail, Keynote, and any other Mac app with iCloud support will be included.Making changes to a document that syncs with an iOS device will reflect in the appropriate app from iOS. Likewise, for any documents stored in iCloud the changes made to the folder will reflect on other Macs. Versions does not work here, so be careful with changes you make.One thing you may notice is that Camera Roll pictures are not stored in here, but there is a similar way to access the iOS Photo Stream from Mac OS X too if you use that feature on an iPhone or iPad.Heads up to MacWorld for the recent tip reminderhidden files in Finder
terminal copy&paste:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE ;killall Finder
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE ;killall Finder
if it is just the user library you are looking to change:

I have an Iphone 5s with an account icloud that isn't an iCloud id, why? I cannot remove and the mail that names id doesn't exist anymore; what can I do?
Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

Q:-
How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S. The old ID is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as everytime i tried it asks ID password which I don't remember.Hello mushysun,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out. If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
Have a great weekend,

iPhone 4S. My e-mail service provider is Embarq. I am receiving e-mails, but I cannot SEND/REPLY to e-mails. I get message that recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. Any suggestions.
Problem has been solved thanks to a posting by AmberDrivingKendal on 5/15/11. More Like This section was a great help.

Mail is demanding "a preferred outgoing mail server", but in MAIL; help, it doesn't exist.
I finally got mail working for the first time in three years, but everytime I log in, it pops up an error window over an old message, and says it couldn't be sent because I don't have "a preferred outgoing mail server". Now how would you find out how to set that and fix this? It doesn't exist in preferences, so I clicked open "Help", and searched the phrase; "preferred outgoing mail server". It doesn't exist. Anybody, want to fill this unapple gap?
Do you have a server specified in Preferenes > Accounts?

How to deauthorize a computer , that doesn't exist anymore?
I unisnstalled windows , and for some reason when i inserted my ipod to the freshly installed windows+itunes , and logged on my account , iTunes said , that its a new computer and asked me to authorize it , and so i did.
My question is: how can i deauthorize my old version of windows , that doesn't exist anymore?
I also have another question in this topic : When i want to buy items from itunes from a new device , it asks for my bank card number , and takes 1-2 dollars from it. Is this ok?Take a look at this Apple support article; it may help:
One computer using multiple iTunes Store authorizations
When i want to buy items from itunes from a new device , it asks for my bank card number , and takes 1-2 dollars from it. Is this ok?
I'm not sure what you mean by this. What "items"? If you are referring to music, videos or movies, you get only one download per purchase, so if you buy the items again, whether from another device or the same one, yes, you will be charged again. Only apps allow redownloading without additional charge.

I had my phone replaced today and have tried to restore from the backup I made this morning. It didn't restore properly so I wanted to try again but I can't as it asks for my iCloud password for a non-existant email account. I changed my iCloud email about 6 months ago but my phone still thinks that is the correct email and I can't change it, can't reset my phone, can't do anything. What do I do?
The fact that the email address doesn't exist anymore doesn't matter. As far as the Apple ID is concerned, the email address is just a user name. As long as you know the password you used, it should be fine.
If you don't remember the password, start here:

The photo is gone in the text message. Gone. No thumbnail...it doesn't exist anymore. How do you fix that? Can you fix that? Can you ever get the photo to show up again? I stumpted the guy on the phone with this problem. I need some help from anyone who has experienced this problem and might have a solution! Thanks in advance!
This happened to me also, a few days ago... I went to look at pics that were sent from just one person, all the other photos that people texted are there during same time period. It is only this one contacts several photos that disappeared... There is an arrow when I click on it it goes to a blank page?!? Have you received any feedback or answers?? Did your photos that are missing come from only one person or multiple? If you have any information that might help let me know!!! I really want them back!! Thanks much!

I've forgot my password for icloud but the account doesn't exist anymore
I've just bought an iphone 6 and i made a new apple id because i forgot the password to my old account but the email doesn't exist anymore for the icloud account so i cant even reset the password, ive used the back up from my iphone 5 on my iphone 6 which had find my iphone turned on so i can't restore my iphone 6 untill i turn it off which i cant because i have forgot the password and the account no longer exist what can i do ?
Ok. In that case you'll have to contact the Apple account security team for your country and request assistance changing the password for the old ID: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. You'll have to prove your identity to them before they will change it. If your country isn't listed, contact iTunes store support for help with this by filling out this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

How to access icloud from outside computer
I want to access my icloud mail from devices NOT my own such as work computer, travel in hotel, other persons computer. I keep getting this message that tells me to LEARN more and gives all sorts of DOWNLOADING instructions to that computer. ENDLESS loop. I am not downloading or configuring a public or work computer nor is it my device. I JUST WANT TO ACCESS MY EMAIL REMOTELY LIKE I DID FOR YEARS ON MAC.MAIL AND CAN DO FROM ANYWHERE ANYTIME WITH OTHER WEB MAILS. THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING.
Thanks Roger, Today I signed up to the apple support communities specifically so I could thank you. And to publically complain about what Apple did and did not do when then terminated "mobile me" in June 2012. My short story.... prior to June 2012 I had access to my personal MAC G4 computer, a family member's old IPAD and my work PC. I tired to migrate to I-Cloud but that was not possible without buying a new home computer. So next best option would be to use a browser on either my G4, or the IPAD or the PC at work to access this new "icloud" server, or whatever it is. I've been a mac user since the very first macs came to the market so I'm not a novice. I spent many hours googling and searching Mac support to find out how to access my email after they turned off mobile me. I did not find a way, so I recently bought a mac mini to hopefully get all my new and historical email back and working again. Yes, I did get back on email again using the mac mini I had to buy, so apple did OK there.
But I find it negelent, perhaps deceptive, that Apple did not provide simple instructions like you did to the mobile me users that Apple effectively kicked off their email service, which I paid for, for many years. That's very much like stealing in my opinion....Apple couldn't send me an email to the Icloud link like you provided, with instruction on how to get to my email? Rather they kept insisting that I migrate to icloud, and insisting that I had to meet computer operating system requirements that my old G4 could not meet. In my opinion they were not honest. They effectively created the preception that anyone using an older mac had to buy a new one and I think they knew what they were doing. I heard someone say that ethics cannot be taught, I agree. Thanks again Roger, I can now access my Mac Mail from alternative locations.
