I did not do my research before changing my Apple ID from an outdated email address to a current one. I just changed and verified and though I was all set. WRONG! Now I cannot sign in to iCloud because it will not let me enter the new Apple ID. I read the 10/30/13 randers4 post to just change your Apple ID back then sign in and change it to the new email address again and then you can sign in, but I cannot change back to the prior email address Apple ID because that is no longer an active email account (or at least not mine). Any thoughts on how to get signed into iCloud when it does not allow me to type in the new Apple ID and the old Apple ID no longer exists.
I see that many people have asked, but no one has come up with a solution that I found.
Thanks for any help!

This did not work for me. My old email account for iCloud still pops up on my screen every time I open my macbook. I've deleted it, reset it, every thing I can think of and it still shows up. I think six months of this is more than enough time to wait.

I recently changed my Apple ID to a new email address. My old one still is in my phone, and cannot be permanently deleted as it says that Find my iPhone is still on. I can't turn it off because I do not have the password to my old "deleted" Apple ID.

I have the EXACT SAME PROBLEM and have been researching the past 2 hours!!!! Aaargh!

Folders on the IMAP server do not appear or appear in wrong location - those cannot be modified in Thunderbird because "they do not exist on server".

Hi all,
A few days ago, I moved 3 sub-folders within my Archive folder. I was doing those modifications using Thunderbird.
My Archive folder used to contain the following sub-folders:
Archive
/A2014
/B2014
/C2014
I tried to move the folders A2014, B2014 and C2014 under the sub-folder LastYear, and created new A, B and C folders for 2015, so that it would be something like:
Archive
/LastYear
/A2014
/B2014
/C2014
/A2015
/B2015
/C2015
On the webmail interface, everything looks fine: the old A, B and C folders where moved into the Archives/LastYear folder, and the new A, B and C folders appear under Archives. However, on Thunderbird things are a bit more... strange.
Case 1: For some folders, things are as they should be.
Folders A2014 and B2014 were correctly moved into Archives/LastYear.
Folders A2015 and C2015 were correctly created in Archives.
Case 2: One folder does not appear at all - anymore.
Folder B2015 does not appear anywhere - despite being visible on the webmail interface. It does not appear in the list of folders to synchronize. No .msf file appear. Nothing happens if I try creating it again.
Note that it briefly existed after I created it, but stopped appearing a few hours later.
Case 3: One folder appears in the wrong location and cannot be accessed.
Folder C2014 appears in the old location (Archives) and not were it should be (and is on the webmail interface), that is Archives/LastYear. I cannot perform any operation on it in Thunderbird, I systematically get the following error message:
"The current operation on 'C2014' did not succeed. The mail server for account <AccountName> responded: "Archives/C2014" doesn't exist."
(Which is correct because according to the server the folder C2014 is in Archives/LastYear).
The C2014.msf file is also wrongly located, but moving it to the correct location did not change anything: the next time Thunderbird was started, the wrongly located .msf file was re-created.
Thunderbird does not show the emails contained in this folder - when I try loading them I get the previous error message.
Using the same style than before, here is how my Archives folder look right now:
Archive
/LastYear
/A2014
/B2014
/A2015
/C2015
/C2014
I am totally flabbergasted, I have no idea of where the problem is. I tried various fixes found on forums (such as playing around with the .msf files), but no luck so far. Any idea?
A few more details:
- I use an IMAP server.
- This is a professional address, and I have little control on it.
- I use Thunderbird with this account on two different computer, the problem is identical on both computers.
- I tried removing/re-installing the account from Thunderbird, it did not change anything.
I would be eternally grateful if any of you could come up with a solution!
Many many thanks,
Agnes

I know my files downloaded through Firefox won't appear in my downloads folder because that is just supported by Safari
No, I think that Apple just assigned the Downloads folder to Safari to send things there by default. You can do the same with Firefox, just go to the Firefox Preferences, click on main, tick the "Save files to..." and click the Choose button, then navigate to /Users/yourname/Downloads and click choose. I have always had all my Internet applications download things to a Downloads folder I keep at the root level of the drive (so all users can access them), but I just changed the Firefox pref to the new Apple Downloads folder and it worked fine.

I changed my apple_id but i forgot to logout on my iPhone so now I cannot sign in on iCloud since I can't delete old id. Can anyone help me to delete old id?

I'm sorry for long title.
please help

Hello kalak_ita,
Try using your current Apple ID's password, as that may get you past this roadblock. If not, the following article provides steps that can help you get signed out of your old iCloud account and into your current account.

HT5570 I can't access icloud, the email address is no longer in use and it does not let me put the new apple ID on the iPad

Can any one help me on this??

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

New user. cannot input start up code because keyboard will only let me use numbers only. Since the code requires both numbers and letters, I'm not able to complete the code and install the program

I need to do the finial step to activate elements 12. For some reason my keyboard will not allow me to print letters, only numbers. Since the code that is required for the final step requires both numbers and letters I'm not able to complete .

If the code has letters it's not a serial number, but a redemption code that you use to get a serial number:

I cannot sign in to icloud because of problems with server

I have Lost It All!
I cannot find all of my iTunes info.
I tried signing into iCloud due to a message "problem with server".

I have used the solution below to fix mine and others that have run into this issue.
Start --> Programs --> Accessories (Right Click on Command Prompt) --> Run as Administrator
then type in: "Netsh winsock reset" (-without the quotes-)
Hit enter, restart PC, iCloud For PC should now connect without any server errors
(This solutions will work in some instances when trying to fix errors associated when you are unable to connect to iTunes also.)

I recently changed my Appleid name from an old email address to my more frequently used one. But my iphone 4 will not give me the option to change it. Any suggestions?

its the same id just renamed it but my phone doesnt allow me the option. is it so obvious im missing it?

Welcome to the Apple community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

TS1398 i restored by i pad and now i have nothing because it will not let me on any wi fi what now

I restored by i pad back to factory reset because of the wi fi problem now I can't get back in because it will not accept any wi fi. Don't know how to fix it.

Is it not seeing your network or just not connecting to it?
Make sure that you are entering the correct password for your network.

HT5622 Can't sign up for iCloud because ID is tied to old email

The Apple ID I've been using for the last six years is tied to an old email that I can't remember the password for anymore. This means that I've never been able to sign up for iCloud because I have no way of clicking the verification email. I've never cared until Yosemite came out and has all these awesome features that need iCloud to work. This is the ID i've go my iPhone using. Is there like a procedure to get and ID switched to a new email?

You can change the primary email account associated with your Apple ID to a new email account which you have access to as explained here: Change your Apple ID. Once you've done that, you can create your iCloud account by going to System Preferences>iCloud, signing in with the ID, then checking the items you want to sync with iCloud. Once you have created the account on your Mac, go to Settings>iCloud on your iOS devices, sign in with the same ID, then turn on the items that you want to sync with iCloud. There are more details on setting up iCloud here: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html.
If you are sign into the old ID for other services, you'll need to sign out, then sign back in with the updated ID. For example, if you are signed into the old ID for iMessage on your phone, you would go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the updated ID.

Delete what? The ID's? They cannot be deleted - you just quit using it.
If you still have one old ID - that you have purchased content with - you are saying that the password no longer works with that ID? Did you try to reset the password for that ID?
Read this - instructions if the ID was disabled for entering the wrong password.

Changed my email adress, so i cannot sign in to icloud from iphone

i changed my apple id and now i cannot get into my icloud account as the new username has not updated in my phone, everytime i type the password it says: incorrect username or password, as a result of this somehow i cannot access my contacts and i am really frustrated can someboody help?

I have had the phone since Sept. 2013. And I have email my proof of purchase to apple.
My orginal, orginal, Apple ID was set up by my daughter probly 5 years ago. I'm assuming she used her Gmail account for the name. Which would make sense, because m*****@gmail.com is the one the Phone is asking for. Problem is, No one at apple can tell me What the full Apple Id is.
They said the 5 *'s doesn't mean there only 5 letters missing, Could be more or less. I don't know the Apple ID it wants.
I never really payed attention to the Apple ID. I knew the password and that was all I needed. I did try and change this back in May. I ended up with 3 different Apple Id's. When I enter those ID's and Passwords, Computer & Phone, both say "Won't unlock this phone". Instead of the standard "Wrong ID or Password". So those are all good.
Only one of those Apple ID had a icloud account, with two devices, they were two older phones I think. Both removed now.
I think my phone had my Email as the Apple ID and My daughter's Email as the Icloud ID....
Thrusday Morning all the phone would do was ask for my icloud password. (which shouldn't even be enabled)
