HT203808 Wrong email for iCloud on ipad after upgrade to iOS7

    The iCloud account on my iPad has an old Apple ID.  (my iPhone - newer - has the correct one)  The email no longer exists - and what I think the password was doesn't work.  I followed the steps on the help menu - of signing out of accounts, then resigning in and then tried to delete the account.  It continues to ask me for a password linked to the old ID.   As the apple ID doesn't exist anymore - nor that email - resetting that password is not an option.   That account doesn't show up anywhere to be deleted.   Any suggestions on how to get that email/ID deleted?

If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. 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 and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was.  You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so.  You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • Can't verify email for iCloud on iPad or Mac

    can't verify email for iCloud on iPad or Mac / not getting email (I've apple ID)

    I have seen this issue brought up many times here in the community and decided to share my experience. I too could get verification. I had an AppleId before iCloud, it was used for Apple Store purchases. I made sure that the email I was using for the ID was not the same as what I was using for the ICloud ID. Next I signed in to my ICloud ID at
    Appleid.apple.com
    I changed my email to a secondary e-mail I had. It was a gmail account.
    I then verified that email address by logging into gmail and responding to email sent by apple.
    I logged back into iCloud account and added an additional email to my account. I added the email that previously wasn't receiving the verification.
    I then verified that email address by checking and responding to verifying email sent by apple.
    I then logged back into iCloud account. Both emails I entered were verified. (primary and secondary)
    I EDIT ' ed the primary using the secondary email address.
    This removed my secondary address and made it my primary.
    It was verified previously so I was done.
    I went into settings>iCloud and a verifying email was sent.
    It worked.
    It may seem like a lot to do, but it works.

  • How do I restore bookmarks in iBooks on my iPad after upgrading to iOS7?  (Note: restore was done from an old iCloud backup)

    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Here are the details:
    -Upgraded iPad to iOS7
    -All of my iBooks needed to be re-downloaded as a result
    -The bookmarks in each iBook disappeared
    How can I get them back?  This was across multiple books.

    Yes, if I right click on a profile in the profile manager when I start Firefox it shows me the path to the profile. It is in the AppData\Roaming section.
    For the sake of brevity I haven't typed in the full path name, just enough to let you know where I am putting them, I hope.
    I put it there. No good.
    I just looked at the profile I restored to the AppData\Local section ( it seems Firefox puts a copy there too ) and merged the one that showed the Cache folders which came from my backup disk with the profile of the same name in the Roaming section.
    Still no go. No bookmarks showing up. If I click on the profile folder it shows the Cache files etc. are all there but it doesn't do anything.
    This has gotten very aggravating. All files seem to be where they should be but it doesn't work.

  • Not all photos in iphoto sync to new ipad after upgraded to ios7

    question as above, already sync clean folder to ipad and reset/empty the ipad iphoto fews times. 

    If the file format is compatible with the iPad, the photos should sync. The camera will name the files automatically as far as I know and if you never changed the names before - and simply imported the photos into iPhoto, that shouldn't matter.
    Deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder seems to work for many, many users with this problem. There is no guarantee that it will work, but it is easy to do and it's harmless since a new photo cache folder will be created when you sync again.
    Here is an article that explains how to delete the folder and where itcan be found.

  • Apple ID works on macbook pro but not on ipad after upgrade to IOS7

    Could you be more specific about "it doesn't work?" Where exactly are you seeing the problem and what exactly is happening?

  • IPad2 unusable after upgrade to ios7 because of keyboard lag

    I have a 5-10 second lag after typing any character on my iPad after upgrading to ios7. I've reset it. I've restored it. I've turned off iCloud for data and documents. None of this has solved the problem. Any other ideas? It's impossible to use for anything that requires the keyboard.

    Perhaps I did not make myself clear, my apologies for that.
    The cover does put it to sleep and wakes it up (as evidenced by the clicking sound), but when it wakes, the screen lock does NOT engage.   You know that first screen where it shows the clock real big at the top center and at the bottom center it says to slide to the right?  That is the screen that does not work. 
    That screen will come up if I manually put it to sleep and wake it with the top button, but auto-lock feature is not working.

  • I used the wrong ID for iCloud on my iphone 5. It is linked to an email that no longer exists. Do I have to delete my iCloud completely and set it up all over again?

  • Cannot reset my Email for iCloud acct on iPhone

    I get a message to reset or edit my settings in iCloud but when I go to account the email is gray.  I do have a new email for AppleID and Ipad is ok also.   Only iPhone is problem.
    Under restrictions I have allow changes checked.

    Hello,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you have recently changed your email address associated with Apple ID, and are now experiencing issues with iCloud. It sounds like the new address has not yet been verified. Let’s check, and if not verified, go ahead and do so:

  • HT204074 Used the wrong account for iCloud. How to Change it

    I just got an ipad, and I used the wrong account for iCloud. When I try to change it in settings it is greyed out.  How do I change I cloud so I can use this for work? 
    Never mind, I fixed it. I deleted the account, and put the new one in. Just a new interface.
    thanks;

  • I changed my apple id email address to try jumpstart my account to send me a verification email for iCloud activation.  It worked but now I cannot change back to my original email address.  It says its in use.

    Hi Guys
    I am writing this on behalf of a friend of mine.  To understand my issue let me explain how it started.  My friend has a apple ID with email address (lets call it) [email protected]  when activating iCloud on her iPhone a email was sent to verify her account.  This was not done and rendered the iCloud feature disabled due to not being activated.  [email protected] is the correct email address and works.  A form of troubleshooting I used the iForgot service to test if the email address was correct and mail flow from apple was working and it worked fine.
    I logged into apple id to manage account and resend activation email for iCloud.  this did not send the mail.  I waited 48hrs but to no avail.
    I decided to kickstart the account to force it to send to another email address by changing the primary email address from [email protected] to [email protected]  it worked and I verified the address and iCloud is now active.  However now I cannot change the primary email address back to [email protected] as it says its being used by another apple ID. 
    I then tried iForgot with the [email protected] email address, it says it sent a email to [email protected] but nothing arrived in [email protected] or [email protected]
    I have this feeling the [email protected] is stuck I'm memory on my apple ID some how but can't get it to forget [email protected] so that I can use it as my primary email address again.
    I have tried to log into iTunes with my original details [email protected] and password but says its incorrect.
    any advices in this would be greatly appreciated.

    The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

    Hello pichastos,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your camera is displaying a black screen, please follow the information outlined below.
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping  (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • Cannot receive verification email for iCloud

    I cannot get the verification email for icloud. does anyone have any ideas apple dont appear to.....

    The email should be sent to the primary email address you used when setting up the Apple ID you are using to set up your iCloud account.  If you aren't sure what email address that is check on My Apple ID.  Be sure to check both your inbox and your spam/junk folder.  If it isn't there go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.
    If you have attempted to resend the verification email multiple times and it still hasn't arrived, try contacting iTunes store support here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.  They deal with Apple ID issues all the time and can probably help you with this.
    You can check to see if you have a different ID by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625, but the verification email should be sent to the email address associated with the ID you are using to set up your iCloud account.
