HT4759 the iCloud Login shows my old email address as my login and asks for an old p/w which I don't remember.

How do I update iCloud on my iPhone to show my new login and p/w?

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")
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 > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • TS3991 I can't sign-in to my iCould account from my iPhone. The account is linked to an old email address that is closed and i cant access anymore. So that means that I can't reset the password!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    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. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    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.

    When I try to open an .ai/pdf file received through my email, it won't open and asks for a password. I have never set up any kind of password for email security, but have tried typing in my standard passwords. Nothing works. I wonder if it has anything to do with the use of my Wacom3 Tablet...I've been having trouble with it and was getting the same message when trying to open the User's Manual in my Applications/WacomTablet file on my hard drive. Any suggestions? I just downloaded the latest version for the Wacom and recently upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (which I hate, and my CS3 hates, etc.)

    It sounds like you have a a password-protected PDF. The password was set by the person who encoded it.

  • My AppStore wont update my apps because my old iTunes account keeps coming up and asks for billing info HELP!!!

    My AppStore wont update my apps because my old iTunes account keeps coming up and asks for billing info HELP!!!

    Apps are always associated with the Apple ID that was used to purchase them. This cannot be changed. To avoid getting the request you are seeing delete all apps that request the former Apple ID and download them again.
    Any apps for which you paid a fee will require that you purchase them again.

    An old Apple ID keeps popping up and asking for password; how do I get rid of it?

    Here is what I did to fix it on Win 7 64-bit system:
    Computer > C: > Program Files
    Delete the Oberon Games File
    If you have a Program Files (x86), delete it there, too.
    Reboot.

  • Just purchased Lightroom (stand alone) and asks for a previous serial number. I don't have one only an students version of photoshop for which I can't find the serial number

    Just purchased Lightroom (stand alone) and asks for a previous serial number. I don't have one only an students version of photoshop for which I can't find the serial number

    If it is asking for a serial number for a previous version then you purchased an upgrade version rather than a standalone version.  You should be able to determine this based on the price you paid.  If you do not own an earlier version then you need to purchase a full version rather than an upgrade.  If you did purchase a full version but acquired an upgrade version then you will need to acquire the full version.

  • I just used a firewire connection to transfer files from an older MAC to a newer MAC. My newer MAC has lost all that was on it, and all the applications are opening like they have never been used before and asking for Rosetta. Help!!!

    I just used a firewire connection to transfer files from a PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro has lost all that was on it, and all the applications are opening like they have never been used before and asking for Rosetta. How do I find all my files on the MacBook Pro, or undo what I have done???

    IGNORE the last post: he thought you are using Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Since you are using Snow Leopard, you need to install Rosetta.  It can be found on your Snow Leopard Install DVD in the Options section.
    Once installed all should be well again.
    Also, if your computer is connected to the internet when the Dialog Box about PowerPC applications comes up, it MIGHT allow you to download Rosetta from the internet.  There has been some discussion that Apple has discontined internet download of Rosetta into Snow Leopard.
    Someone else will have to address your lost files problem.

  • Deleting old email address in itunes login.

    Recently handed my old iphone down to my wife.
    When she goes to login to itunes it still shows my old email address.
    How can I change this.
    TIA, Craig.

    She has her own iTunes account with her own iTunes library on a different computer, or she has her own iTunes account along with your iTunes account with the same iTunes library on the same computer?
    For the former, she can restore the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone with iTunes on her computer. This will make her iTunes account available on the iPhone after syncing the iPhone with her iTunes library on her computer being logged in to her iTunes account along with removing all iTunes content on the iPhone that was purchased/downloaded with your iTunes account.
    If the latter, she needs to be logged in to her iTunes account with iTunes on the computer you share when syncing the iPhone with iTunes. This should make her iTunes account available for the iTunes Store, the App Atore, and the Apple Store.

  • Changed my apple I'd email address but my iPad still asks for the old one

    Changed my Apple ID email on the computer I run ITunes on. Opened my iPad and tried to update an App and it asks for my old email as username and therefore won't accept the new password.

    I think it might be because I have not had this ipad linked to my Apple ID for over 90 days? Only got it a couple of weeks ago. It's so frustrating!
