HT4759 My icloud account is link to old apple id that i don't know password for and when i try to delete icould on my iphone it is asking me for a password instead of just deleting what can i do to get my icloud accout updated with my current apple id?

MY ICLOUD ACCOUT IS LINK TO OLD APPLE ID WHICH I DON'T KNOW PASSWORD. WHEN I GOT TO SETTINGS TO DELETE ICLOUD TO CREATE WITH MY CURRENT IT ASK ME FOR A PASSWORD ASSOCIATED WITH THE OLD APPLE ID INSTEAD OF DELETING THE ACCOUNT. HOW DO I DELETE THE ICLOUD ACCOUT WITH INPUTTING A PASSWORD TO TURN OFF FIND IPHONE?

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 on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.

Are you the first owner of this phone, or did you buy a previously used phone?
Is the Apple ID that the phone is locked to your ID, or somebody else's ID?

HT201365 Activation lock

I have forgotten my find my iPhone log in and I'm stuck on the activation lock ?

If you forgot the ID, you can try to recover it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. If you forgot the password, reset it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787.
You won't be able to activate and use it using your password.

App store still linked to old Apple ID

Hi everyone -
I recently updated my apple id to a new email address and changed my password etc - this seems to have treated the new one as a completely new account - which is fine, but despite the fact that i have gone into settings on my iphone and made sure my app store is connected to the new (prefferred) ID, i have tried to update a couple of apps and it is asking me to sign in under the old apple id.
I have also had issues trying to add my card to the new apple ID - could this all be part of the same issue?
Can anyone advise?
Many thanks

Apps are permanently linked to the ID used to get them. If you need to update an old app, you need to use the ID linked to it.

HT201365 Activation Lock active but wont accept correct apple ID, phone saying the activation server is temporarily unavailable?

Is anyone else having this problem?

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

HT201365 my activation lock is on and it was turned on with an old email address. I don't remember the password I used for that email. What do I do?

Activation lock was turned on with old email address. I no longer have access to that email and I don't remember password. What can I do?

Reset the password: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617. If you have trouble, contact the Apple account security team for assistance: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699. There's no way around activation lock. You won't be able to activate it without the password.

HT201365 Once my phone is in Lost Mode and the Activation Lock is on, what will the person who stole my phone be able to do with it? If they bring it anywhere to activate it will Apple confiscate it?

My phone was stolen and I am just curious how this Lost Mode/Activation Lock works! I know they can't get into my phone currently, and it's off. I tracked the location to an apartment complex before they shut it off, but it didn't give the apartment number, I am hoping they turn it on again soon so I can go back and play the noise, however if I can't I am hoping they will be stupid enough to try to bring it into apple and use it or bring it into verizon. Will Apple or Verizon take the phone for me and return it to me or let them walk out with it? Any background information on similar situations or any feedback would be amazing, I feel naked without my phone.

They won't be able to use the phone, and Apple won't be able to reactivate it for them. Only you can unlock the phone, so it's useless to them. I would doubt that Apple would be able to identify and return the phone if they are stupid enough to take it in, but I don't know for certain.

My macbook pro was recently returned to me after having been lost. When I turned it on and connected to the internet at home, the activation lock activated. I put my password in and the macbook went to a white apple screen and now won't do anything else. How do I get it running again?

Take it to an Apple Store. Take proof of purchase with you.
