It may be that the process you used to change the iCloud ID created these issues. What I would suggest you do is the following:
If you have any photo stream photos on your device that you want to keep, save them to your camera roll by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.
Go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into your iCloud account and check to confirm that your data is all there.
Assuming your data is on icloud.com, go to Settings>iCloud on your device, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted. This will only delete the account and your synced data from your device but not from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
Go to Settings>iCloud, sign back in with the correct iCloud ID and password and turn your iCloud data syncing preferences back on. This will sync your iCoud data back to your device and recreate your iCloud email account.
Try your Mail again and see if it works properly now.

How do I restore from a previously used backup volume ???

I have just added a 1 Terrabyte (1000 GB) firewire external backup drive for Time Machine's exclusive use - - because my chock-full 250 GB drive was so full that TM was forced to delete previous backups done only a few weeks ago in order to write new backups.
So I have now of course designated the new 1 TB drive for TM and it's working fine.
But....??????..... if I want to search my previous 250 GB drive for something older, how do I get TM to either search both drives (new and old) automatically, or enable me to browse from one volume to another while in the TM app ???
I can't find any explanations of how to seamlessly manage easily and in a user friendly way this ongoing issue of having multiple TM volumes - each covering different periods back in time.
If, in order only to search it, I have to go back to the 250 GB drive and re-designate it, again, as "The" TM drive, then won't an unwanted and unneeded full backup start and potentially erase what I am looking for ? The help files seem to be silent on this issue.
The user interface ought to have a list of current and previously used drives to you can designate which to search before initiating a search and restore operation. does it exist in hiding somewhere ?
Has anyone written a good manual for TM ?

Michael Bryan wrote:
Thanks a lot. I take it that I must resist the temptation to just directly double-click on the old volume from outside the TM app, and then "drag and drop" a found document back to where I want it and that it is vital to always restore from within the TM app.
yes, you should definitely resist that temptation. all TM backups are tagged with "everyone deny everything" ACLs. copying them via drag and drop will keep those ACLs and will cause you all kinds of issues. you should only restore them from TM interface which will remove those ACLs.

My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

My secondary e-mail address used on my daughter's ipod can no longer work. It states, that it is already in use with another apple id. She used it for weeks before this happened.

My secondary e-mail address used on my daughter's ipod can no longer work. She uses this as her imessage texting. First it needed to be verified. Once I tried to verify it on appleid support, It states, that it is already in use with another apple id. She used it for weeks before this happened.

So what I have gleemed from this thread - is that Apple will not help me if an iPad mini is dropped and the screen breaks. I would have lived without the insurance if I could have simply bought a new screen and then had it replaced by Apple.
On something so fragile I would have expected a piece of glass to be a replacement part. But I am glad I made this post because now I no for sure if I break the screen there is no way to have it fixed by Apple and keep it in Warranty.
Yup, kind of like anything else you accidentally break that is more cost effective to replace than to repair. Keep that iPad away from the toddler

How do I restore to a previous backup?

Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial device setup process. If you have any newer data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. When you're done, go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on your phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Be sure it is connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

Help! I have recently updated LR5 and before doing so I was able to email files to clients! (Very Convenient) Now my problem is I have not been able to get pass this error message reading "failed to send" which gives no further detail about what to do to rectify the situation. Someone please guide me through this! Thanks in advance!

Did this ever get resolved, as I am having the same issue. Trying to learn LR5 AFTER a decade using Aperture. I was able to set up a validated account but when I try to send an e-mail or photo I get the simple " Failed to Send " message. Using latest version of Mac OS X.

I back up everyday and then my iphone synced before i could restore, how do I restore to a previous backup

I back up everyday so that I can have piece of mind to restore, but my itunes synced and updated the backup to the way my phone was before I had the chance to do anything. How can I restore to a previous backup?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup to put everything on the new computer.

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
The security questions and rescue email address is there for account security. If you don't have a rescue email address then contact iTunes Support using the link on the HT5312 page that you posted from.
When they've been reset you can then either a rescue email address for potential future use, or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

Leigh...
but cannot do this because I cannot access Mac App Store
If you can't access the App Store from the Apple menu, Dock, or Applications folder installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you.
It's ok to do this even you are already running v10.6.8.
