HT204053 My email address has changed.  My apple ID for iCloud is my old email address and I cannot remember the password. Verification is sent to my old email address and I cannot retrieve it.  Any suggestions

My email address has changed. I have my icloud acct sending stuff to an email that is no longer in service. I cannot remember the password and it keeps sending messages to an old email acct to try to change the password. Any suggestions.

Go to appleid.apple.com and click in the reset password option.  You maybe able to reset using the security questions option.  If you can't, contact support using expresslane.apple.com email option, or call the AppleCare support line.

    SBerman- I am the only owner/user of the phone but thanks for trying on that angle.  It doesn't apply but I appreciate your idea.
    KiltedTim- Yes, I have encountered an activation lock.  The Apple ID should be the one that I use when I go into itunes but that one is not working.  I even tried the Apple email/id I got when I first bought the phone years ago and that didn't work either.  It is asking me for an id that ends in @me.com and I have NO IDEA what this is or how to get it to "shift focus" onto one of the id's I do know.
    Does that make things clearer?

  • I use the company's iPad at work that has a different apple id for iCloud than my own personal iPad  at home. How can I change the company's iCloud id to synchronize with my own one?

    I use an iPad 2 at work that has a different apple id for iCloud than my own personal new iPad. How can I change the company's id for iCloud to synchronize with my own personal iPad?

    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID listed and sign out and sign in with other ID
    You also may want to go to other places like:
    - Settings>iCloud
    - Settinge>FaceTime
    - Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and change the ID
    It may be best to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings and start over again and set up the iPod again with his account/ID

  • How do you change your Apple ID for icloud?

    I have had one email address as my Apple ID for App store, itunes and icloud for all my devices (MacBook pro, iMac, iPhone4 and iPad2).  Recently I changed nettwork/internett operators and now I have big problems with my icloud.  My old email address and password has been shut down, and I had to create a new adress and password.  I successfully change my Apple ID and password for itunes and App store, but I can't change my Apple ID for icloud.  I am told that if I want to close down my icloud account on my MacBook Pro data will be lost.  (I have stored my documents on icloud too)  I keep getting a popup on my screen saying there is a problem with my Apple ID (the old email address) and that I should fill in my password.  If I fill in the password for this icloud ID (also my old Apple ID for  App store and itunes, I keep getting the message that it is invalid.   How do I get into icloud to manage and edit the Apple ID for icloud so that it works on my mac and all the other devices I have?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't change your ID if it's a me/mac address, otherwise;
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    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")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another 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.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

  • TS3988 how do I change my Apple ID for iCloud

    how do I change my Apple ID for iCloud

    I have this question too.  But I cannot figure out how to associate my original icloud email address with the new apple id. 

  • How do I change my Apple ID for iCloud without losing my data?

    I really seem to have made a mess of my transition to iCloud :-(  I have had an Apple ID for many years - it's my @gmail.com email address.  I also have an @mac.com email address and, because I was a subscriber to MobileMe I have an @me.com email address, too.
    I only recently upgraded my MacBook to OS X 10.7.4 after buying an iPad and deciding that I would like to be able to sync information between my MacBook, iPhone (3GS) and iPad.
    I believe my problems started when I bought the iPad about a month ago on a trip to New York.  I didn't have my MacBook with me to check which Apple ID I should use.  I set up my iPad with my @gmail.com address as my Apple ID.  When I returned home I discovered that my iCloud ID on my MacBook is my @mac.com email address.
    I thought I could simply change the Apple ID on my iPad but I've not found any way that I can do that.
    The problems I'm experiencing relate mainly to Calendars - I now have multiple entries for events on all my devices.  I also have multiple entries for people in my Address Book and Contacts.
    What I would like to do is -
    1) retain my @gmail.com address as my Apple ID for the iTunes Store and purchases - this is the one I've always used and I have lots of purchases associated with it.
    2) change my Apple ID for iCloud from my @gmail.com address to my @mac.com address so that I can also sync my Mail and, hopefully, eliminate the occurrence of multiple calender entries
    If I were to delete my current @gmail.com address Apple ID on my iPad will I lose the data associated with this ID?
    Cheers

    Thank you for responding to my question so promptly!  My Apple ID for my iCloud account on my MacBook is the correct (i.e. my @mac.com) email address.  Do I need to sign out and then sign back in after I have changed/updated my details on my iPad?
    When I look at the 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars' details on my iPad under the heading 'Accounts' it first shows my @me.com account and the items under that account are 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Find My iPad' - when I expand the account details it shows that my iCloud Account is actually my @mac.com email adddress.
    The second entry is iCloud which is currently my @gmail.com account.  Under this account are 'Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Reminders, PhotoStream, Documents & Data, Backup.
    The third account is headed Gmail and is, indeed, my @gmail.com account, too.  Under this account it shows 'Mail, Calendars, Notes'.
    Am I correct in suspecting that the reason for my having multiple occurrences of both events in Calendars and people in Contacts is because more than one account is syncing Contacts and Calendars?
    Thank you for your help
    Cheers

  • How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7?

    How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7? When I updated to iOS7 it kept my old ID on some features and my new one on others. I was able to change my Apple ID on all apps except iCloud. I don't have the original email account I used when setting up my iPhone with the old Apple ID and I have no clue what the password was. It appears I first need to turn off "Find my iPhone" which requires the old Apple ID, then I can delete the iCloud account. I want to use my current Apple ID to be able to use the "Find my iPhone" feature in iOS7. I hope someone can help!!

    That doesn't help. It's an old email that doesn't work anymore. Please read the entire post. iOS7 won't let you delete iCloud unless you have the password for the old/inactive email/Apple ID.
    You never mentioned that you didn't have access to that email.  There are some specific steps you can perform to retrieve the old Apple ID password.

    Hi karen615,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you cannot reset your Apple ID password via security questions, you can reset via email authentication. If you are not receiving the email, it may be necessary to contact Apple Support using the link in the Get help section toward the bottom of the article.

    Delete the account from the iPad, log in again using the ID you use on the phone.

    How do I find out an OLD password from 2006-2008. I have 3,000 pieces of music purchased from iTunes during those years that cannot be authorized because I cannot remember the password from that era. What can I do?

    If you can't remember your password or security answers and don't have access to the email address (you didn't have a rescue email address on the account ?) then you can try contacting Support in your country and seeing if you can get the password reset and access to the account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (they should also be able to reset the security questions)
    If you can then update the primary email address on the account to be an address that you have access to.
