HT5621 How to change an Apple ID if the e-mail adress on that ID has been cancelled?

I used to work for a company that did supply me with an IPhone 4S. I was send on pension, but kept my IPhone.
Now it keeps on giving me a message to log in with my Apple ID, wich was the company's e-mail adress, allocated to me, and requesting the password that used to go with it, but the E-mail adress and its' password has been cancelled and it keeps on telling me that it was the wrong user name and password. How can I delete the old user name and create a new one?

You cannot.
The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

    I recently changed my apple ID but the old on is still on my iCloud account. The old address is dimmed on iCloud on my iPad so I can't change it. How do I change to the new address?  I don't want to delete the account as I don't want to lose the pictures

    To change it, you have delete the existing account.  However you can avoid losing any pictures in the process.  To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  (Camera roll photos are not effected by deleting the account.)
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.

    Hi Baem_leeds
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you change your Apple ID you will need to sign in with the new information or password the next time you use an Apple service or feature that uses Apple ID. If you have multiple devices that use features and services that require an Apple ID, you will need to sign in again on each device.
    The links below will provide additional information:

  • I have changed my Apple-ID to a new mail-adress. But I have not managed to change the adress in iCloud in my iPhone. The iPhone just asks for my password to the old Apple-Id.

    Hi!
    I have changed my Apple-ID to a new mailadress. But I have not been able to change the iCloud-adress in my iPhone. The iPhone just asks for my password to the old Apple-ID.  Can anyone help?

    If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished 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 to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Does anyone know how to change my apple id in the ipod

    I need to change the apple id in the ipod touch. When I go to app store it brings up the pop up box asking for password but I cannot work out how to go up a level to change my id. I have tried many things but have had no luck so any suggestions would be gladly welcomed.

  • How do I import an iTunes library from an external drive if that drive has been simply removed from a dead computer, without prior measures being taken to ensure it is possible to transfer the library over?

    Basically, my issue here is, I had a fully functioning iTunes on my previous Acer laptop which I used to store my music for my iPhone, I have over 2000 songs on this iTunes and as the laptop suddenly died due to motherboard failure, there was no way to follow out the instructions given by apple on how to properly transfer one iTunes library to another.
    The only source of music I have comes from source files on the HDD, which, stupidly I chose to organise myself.
    A large quantity of this music was deleted from the iTunes library but stayed on the HDD in the source folders (I do not know why)
    By simply dragging my music folder from my HDD to a new iTunes, all the files do go over, however many of them are duplicated (due to 320>120 bit rate MP3 creations) and a number of them are simply not wanted.
    Is there a way to transfer my old library straight into this new one? bearing in mind I have all the program files and everything that had iTunes running on my old computer stored onto this USB drive?
    Thank you!

    When I have done this, all I did was network the two machines and copy the contents of the iTunes folder to the other machine, and that's it.
    My understanding (which may not be 100% correct) is that the one file that is absolutely necessary is iTunes Library, and that the XML file is actually a copy auto-generated from the iTunes Library, appearing in a different format only for non-iTunes apps that take advantage of the iTunes Library data.
    As far as I know, if you simply have the Library (database) file and all your original music files, iTunes on that computer should operate as it did on your old computer. I believe that the Album Artwork, Genius Data, and XML files can be regenerated from the Library file. Not sure about the Extras file.

  • I have created a Apple ID but the e-mail adress is invalid due to a typo. I could purchase apps in the store but now the store is requesting a confirmation (after several month) and I cannot confirm the ID as the e-mail is invalid. What can I do?

    I have a IPAD. During the initialisation I had to submit an Apple ID. I have one, but unfortunately I had a typo in the adress. I could purchase apps with the invalid adress but now (after several month) it is asking for verification. This is not possible as the e-mail is invalid
    What can I do?
    Thanks for your help!!

    The good news is you should be able to get into your Apple ID by answering security questions instead of email at appleid.apple.com. Click the Manage Your Account and then Forgot Your Password links. If you get in you'll see the place to change your primary email address.
    The bad news is there are some issues with Apple ID accounts right now. Some accounts are unable to change their primary email address (Mobile Me accounts in particular), some accounts cannot even log in because Apple has screwed up the security information (for example, I have 2 Apple ID accounts where it tells me my own birthday is invalid).
    So give it a shot.

  • How I change my apple id in the update menu in the app store?(ipad mini)

    If i want to Update my Apps in the AppStore the AppStore will ask for my Password ...  now the store ask for the Password of the Apple id from my Friend (Loged in for a while ) i cant change it. Please help me :)

    What account id shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPad ? If it's your friend's then tap on it and log out of it and then log in with your account - but any apps (and any other content) that were downloaded from friend's account will remain tied to their account, so only their account will be able to download updates to those apps.

  • I have an apple ID but I want to use another one to sync all in the icloud.  I already create a different one for Icloud but how I change my apple id in the iPhone for iCloud without loosing all my info

    my phone can not work

    Settings>iCloud...turn everything off here, including Find My Phone. For Contacts, Calendars, Notes, etc. you'll be prompted to keep the data on the phone, or delete it. Select keep. Then, turn off iMessage & FaceTime. Then, delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Now, set everything back up using your new ID, then turn both iMessage & FaceTime back on, after you've setup the iCloud account.

  • HT5621 I recently changed my apple id email from an old one to a new one and now I can't sign out of my old one on my iPhone 5 because it says I need a password. I cannot give that password because it is part of the old apple ID. How do I change IDs?

    Hi sharonpalencia, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand it can be very frustrating when you cannot sign in, or sign out in this case, to your Apple ID. In this situation you may need to temporarily edit your Apple ID back to the original email address so that you can sign out. Once signed out, edit the Apple ID back to the new email address and sign in. Please use the attached article for further information. 
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    If you're still asked for your previous Apple ID password, continue to the next step.
    Have a great day, 
    Joe

  • HT5621 How do I change the Apple ID stored on my MacBook Air?  I have changed my Apple ID on the Apple ID website, but both my MacBook Air and my iMac show the old Apple ID when accessing iCloud.

    How do I change the Apple ID that is stored on my MacBook Air.  I have changed my Apple ID on the Apple ID website but both my MacBook Air and my iMac show the old Apple ID when accessing iCloud.

    I had this problem on my iMac and fixed it after a  half hour of frustrated trying.  I had changed my Apple ID on my iPad mini while traveling.  When I finally got back home after a few months, I couldn't  log in to iTunes on my iMac.  The old Apple ID was still being used on my iMac.  I tried just highlighting it and deleting it and typing in my new Apple ID.  No dice. The login just defaulted to my old Apple ID.  I tried clicking on the drop down menu that appears when you right right click your Apple ID  that appears at the top of the page after highlighting the 'iTunes Store" in the left side list.  I saw "account" so I clicked on that.  The "account" settings on my iMac showed my new Apple ID but my iMac wouldn't use it. It just kept defaulting to my old ID. I shut down.  I logged back in.  Same result.  Finally I right clicked the same drop down menu and saw "sign out" at the bottom of the list.  Even though I was not signed in to iTunes, I clicked "sign out".  My next log in to iTunes showed my Apple ID as blank and I was able to type in my new ID.  Hope this helps.
    I am a long time 20 year Microsoft user. I am somewhat ( 1 year) new to Apple. With Microsoft, I found that fixing problems was clunky and complex, but there was always a post somewhere that explained the fix. Microsoft's explanations stated even the most obvious fact. Even if everyone knew that the sky was blue, Microsoft's instructions would still tell you that the sky was blue.  With Apple, I find that the obvious is sometimes not so obvious.  But the fix is almost always easy once you find it, without many of the elaborate maneuvers needed in Windows.

  • I changed my apple id but the apple id for icloud did not change on my mac.  How do I get icloud account information to change and match my new apple id?

    I changed my apple id but the applie id for icloud did not change on my mac in system preferences. 
    I have changed my apple id on system preferences under users and groups but the icloud preferences don't pick up the change.
    I restarted my computer, and still no change.
    I have been using icloud under my old apple id for mail calendars and notes.
    How do I get icloud account information to change on my mac's system preferences and match my new apple id?
    I am missing something.
    Please help.  Thanks.

    Thank you Roger, your solution gave me the courage to sign out of Systems Preferences.  The pop up told me it was going to delete my contact and other information from my mac, so I was hesitant to do that.  Well I did as you directed and I was able to sign in with my new apple id and I did not lose the information the pop up threatened I was going to.  So again thank you.  It is the little things that make a big difference sometimes.
