HT4865 How do I get Icloud to accept my new Apple ID and password and verify the new account?

My old Apple ID will not go away even after changing it to another Apple ID and a new password.  How do I get The old Apple ID from popping up and preventing me from using ICloud?  My new ID and password work for everything else but I can't access anything I have stored on Icloud.  I want to just delete the ICloud account but it says I will lose everything that is stored on Icloud and it will delete it from my phone.  Please help me!!  It has been over a month!!

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.

  • How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password

    My Apple ID and password works for iTunes and App Store.  I'm trying to set up iCloud on my iPhone and iPad but i keep getting an error message that reads unsupported ID.  Apple ID must be in the form of email address (@me.com).  I don't have a MobileMe account. How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password?

    I've also reset my password to my Apple ID. I still get the Unsupported ID and password.

    Hi appledapple1964,
    After changing your Apple ID information, you may need to manually sign out and sign back in on your devices so that they may recognize the update. You may find the following article helpful:

  • TS1277 I bought a new computer and itunes request me to authorize the new computer.  Howerver it is using an email address I have not had for over 4 years and will not accept my current authorization information.  How do I get it to accept my new computer

    After purchasing a new computer I downloaded itunes and signed in to my account.  Everything was fine including my current email address.  When I connected my iPod and it started to cink, I go a message that the computer had to be authorized our my music would be removed.  When I clicked on the authorize button I got a sign in that had an email address I have not had in almost 3 years.  When I put my current logon and password in itunes would not accept it.  When I clicked help it offered to send help to my old email address which I have not way of accessing.  How do I get my computer to accept my iPod if I cannot enter the current logon and password information?

    We are having this same issue.  We have over 200 songs that are now missing and only our most recent ones show up in our ITunes library.  Fortunately we have one phone that still has all of our music still in tact. This phone is no longer one I will be using as I upgraded to the Iphone 6, and only the most recent purchased songs remain.  The rest are no where to be found and the iTunes store shows that I would need to re-purchase.  Not sure what to do as when I tried to sync my last phone, all the songs were gone.

  • How to transfer old icloud id stuff to new account id?

    Hi all!!
      Ok I have a friend who has an iPhone 6 and his wife an iPad (old iPad using large usb cable) and they have an
    iMac (no DVD drive) and they use the same iCloud id's on both devises now the part to do 2 separate iCloud id's
    I can do no problem BUT the part I'm not sure how to do is to transfer Contacts, Calendar, Photos, music,
    apps etc…. from the old iCloud id to the new one without loosing anything. This change will be done on the iPad side
    So what to do?? I didn't tell them yet that it was gona be easy to do because I have no idea what's involved to do this
    transfer so I need help to do this step by step (no geek language please). They have OSX 10.10 on iMac and iOS 8.2
    on both devices.
    THANKS ALL!!!

    Technical part is as easy as it gets, you just sign out of icloud and when prompted you keep what you are allowed to keep. Stuff that you will not have a choice is really minor, but if you want to - you can backup that stuff by emailing photostream pictures or documents in the cloud. Once sign out - sign back in to new id.
    Legal part is however different - while you are allowed to keep all those applications, music on ipad, it  belongs to old apple id still. Legally, so when it is time to update app you need to enter password for old account or delete an app and redownload for new account. If it is not free you have to pay again. Normally though families do not mind doing updates under the same id, as long as icloud and imessage/facetime are separate.

  • How can I get chekbox or button to function as copy and pasting the information on acrobat?

    I need to have a checkbox or a button where information will be copied from another filled out text.  For example, when you purchase something online, there is a box where you can click if you billing address is the same as shipping address.  When you click on the box, the whole entire information under shipping address gets copied on billing address. 
    Can somebody please help me how I can do this function on adobe acrobat?  I am using windows by the way.
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi
    Just thinking.
    • Did You try more than one stand alone DVD-player ?
    • When You burned Your DVD - Did the internal Hard disk have more than 25Gb free space
    iDVD and Mac OS Can't address any other for it's temp files - pretty important.
    If so I would.
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
    • Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
    iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named:
    com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.
    Last resort: from Craig: Solved the problem!! Finally!!
    I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
    emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
    and I am up and running.

  • HT3406 when using my old iphone as a itouch how do i get itunes to recognize as a different device and not the new phone?

    When using my old iphone4 as an itouch - how do i get itunes to recognize as a new and seperate device

    You don't need to do anything. iTunes will automatically recognise different devices as different devices. Just plug it in.
    You can rename the device by clicking the name in the side panel in iTunes for your own identification purposes, but this name does not matter to iTunes.

  • I need my email (Mail for Mac) passwords. How can I get them? I posted a detailed question and found the OS and the problem category were wrong.

    Please, someone help. I just need my email passwords. Everything has stopped working. Apple is ZERO help. I get constant dialog boxes asking for passwords. I've tried listing every password I've ever used at least 25-50 times, to no avail. Thank you. I can't even post this to an appropriate community or select an appropriate category or correct OS. Apple is totally useless.

    Not sure what you are referring to? Apple Mail does not require a password. Please describe exactly what is happening, what email you are using, when the request for the password is showing up, and what the exact message is.
    Cheers,

  • HT4865 my apple ID changed but my icloud did not update with the info - how do i get icloud to use my new apple ID

    We updated our Apple ID's with our new email and home address etc... with no issues.  But.....icloud won't update and I can't figure out how to edit it.  It shows the old Apple ID info. 

    We also changed email address, deleted account and added new one in.  I thought everything was working, calenders, photo stream, contracts.  Then when I went to email a photo from the photo library that had been streamed in through old email address, It showed Icloud still sending from old address with no way to change it.  I'm afraid if I delete the account and try to add it in again, I Cloud wont let me; or I will have to chnge everything again (nightmare)  This is on an IMac.

  • How do I get Itunes to play my TV programmes continuously and shuffle the series'?

    I have 3 Series' of The Big Bang Theory and as i have the laptop hooked up to my TV, i would like to be able to just put them all in a playlist and press shuffle, but it only ever plays one then stops. I tried putting them in a smart playlist, but that didn't make any difference. Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem, would be much appericiated! Thanks!!

    Well...no one's going to take advantage of the authorization, and you're allowed a max of five authorizations. Once you reach five, you can deauthorize all and then authorize only those you need. Unless you've reached your max, I wouldn't worry about it.

  • Mac OSX 10.6.8 has Mobil Me.  How do I get ICloud?

    My Mac OSX which is running v. 10.6.8 has Mobil Me, but not ICloud.  How do I get ICloud?

    You can share Mail, Calendars, and Contacts running Snow Leopard. Based on my experience, I don’t recommend syncing Contacts - created a lot of problems with duplicates. If you have 2 step verification enabled on your Apple ID, you will need to generate an application specific password for Mail, iCal, and Address Book. Apple ID - Manage
    Snow Leopard iCloud - Address and iCal
    Snow Leopard iCloud –  iCal
    Snow Leopard iCloud - Configuring Mail with Mac OS X v10.6 or iOS 4

  • How do I get iCloud in my system preferences or even on my macbook?

    How do I get iCloud in my system preferences or even on my macbook?

    The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store.  The price is $19.99.
    Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.
