How to change Apple ID on Iphone 5S without email and password

Hi, my Iphone's Apple ID is using an old email I can't access and I don't have the password. Plus not sure why, it doesn't have my correct birthday for verification. I have literally spent 12 hours overall trying to remedy this. Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks,
Kevin

OK, then if it is the same Apple account with just a new ID then you need to do this to get rid of the iCloud account under the old ID:
1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and change the Apple ID back to the old ID (this is temporary - do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password): Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Go to Settings>iCloud and delete the iCloud account that has the old ID. Use your current Apple ID password when asked, then follow the prompts to delete the account
3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the new ID (you may have to verify it again)
4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign onto iCloud with the new ID
Cheers,
GB

  • How to change apple id on iPhone. Wife and I have same apple ID.  Get each others iMessages. want to put her on another cloud with different id.

    How to change apple id on iPhone? Wife and I have same apple ID which causes me to get her iMessages instead of her. I also get all her pics on my phone and I don't want them.  We need to change her apple ID without causing my ID and cloud to be closed.

    Have her create a new ID.   Here:  https://appleid.apple.com/
    Have her log out of iMessage/Facetime/iCloud on her device.   Now have her use the new ID she has created.
    That should keep the 2 of you separated, except for iTunes purchases.   You can share that ID in a family up to 5 devices.

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Find your Apple ID'. Follow the instructions and hopefully you will be able to identify your ID.

    hi Darryn
    Hope you are doing well and sorry to learn that you are having this issue.
    Taking into consideration the security of your data and your own, every time that email is reset is locked for 6 months.
    I see how that can an inconvinience in your situation but remember the purpose of that in my modest opinion is to protect data that is send to you and you to that email to print, A good example.
    You changed the email a week ago told your relatives and they forgot and they sent  information confidetial or private information met to you but I choose the email you had last week and I get a hold of this information.
    This is why I think HP make the decision of Automaticly locking the old email as soon is changed.
    What you can do to keep it as close as you can you from the one that you had previously is to add a number or another lettter to the old one and communicate the changes to your allowed senders.
    Hope this gives you a good explanation and an alternative;

  • How to change Apple ID on iPhone 4s?

    I acquired a second-hand iPhone 4s. I entered my own Apple ID in the iphone however when i try to download or update apps I am prompted to enter the previous owner's Apple ID and password. Can anyone help to fix this problem ?

    If the woman you sold your device to is telling you that she needs your Apple ID password, then you still have the phone Activation Locked. You need to follow one of the sets of instructions in this link:

  • How to change apple ID on iphone 6

    How do I change my apple ID on my IPhone 6?

    Here's a twist...after I changed to my new AppleID, I had to delete the APPS I'd downloaded using the old AppleID, then download them again with new ID! 
    In my case, I swapped phones with SO who hated her iphone 6, and it had a couple of apps she'd downloaded (that I also have...Yelp, etc...so I thought they were mine). It was making me crazy that I could update *some* apps fine and others needed her password.
    Thought this might help somebody...

  • Does anyone know how to change apple id on iphone 4?

    During the upgrade to iOS5, I set up my iCloud account with one apple id.  However, I would like to using another apple id I use with iTune but I can't seem to change the setting on my iPhone4.  When I go to setting, iCloud, account, and try to click on the Apple ID, it is greyed out.  Is it possible to change the iCloud account once set up on iphone?

    Yes - for those with this problem on the Mac, I fixed mine today. (Merry Christmas!)
    1. My situation was interesting. I was logged into the App Store OK as me (you can do this despite the greying out if you go to the STORE menu in the App Store app). This meant that my "Purchases" not yet installed on this particular Macbook Pro were available to install. (It doesn't ask for the password again.) However, my "UPDATES" for software already installed brought up the sign-in dialog box with the previous user's account name greyed out (Admin IT people from my workplace).
    2. The two available updates that this clearly affected were iMovie and iPhoto in my case. I therefore followed the advice here about removing the receipt identifying the previous 'purchaser' of these apps. Note: you do that via the PACKAGE of each affected application itself (using the finder) - see the instructions.
    THAT FIXED IT.
    3. I don't know if this is relevant, but just in case: my Mac had a separate account for our IT dept called 'Administrator'. In System Preferences under USERS & GROUPS, I selected that account and changed its Apple ID (in fact none was set at all - so it might not have been relevant) to my own Apple ID. (No password required here, so not risky on its own I think.) I don't know that this was relevant, and once I had done step 2 above (which I actually did after this one) I simply deleted my ID again from that Administrator account.
    Good luck!

  • How to change apple id for iphone application updates

    i think i have 2 apple id and dont know which one is the valid one

    Hi jabsykes,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you may have downloaded or purchased applications from two different Apple IDs. To update those applications, you will need to sign in to the Apple ID that downloaded the applications initially. Please use the attached article for instructions on how to sign out and sing in to different Apple IDs on your iOS device.
