HT5622 iCloud, old e-mail problem?!
I changed my e-mail on Apple ID a while ago and everything was fine until I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7.
It keeps asking for my old e-mail (which i permanently deleted) for iCloud and it doesn't accept the current password, ofcourse.
How can I remove that account from my phone when it keeps asking for password to an e-mail that doesn't exist?
I tried deleting it from my phone but ended up having all of my contacts and some photos erased
Please HELP!
What did you upgrade to mt lion from? Was your email setup manually at one point? If it was, remove the account, and then make sure you're signed into the icloud preferences in system preferences and mail is checked off. That will automatically setup your email in the mail.app.
Just make sure your mail shows up properly at icloud.com before removing the account from the mail.app, first.

ICloud Password in Mail Problem
Why does mail keep asking the following:
Enter password for account iCloud.
The iCloud IMAP server “p07-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user.
What is this all about, why and how can it be solved?
thanksThe funny thing is that it seems to happen most often on my Mac in mail than on my iPhone or iPad. I have had to shut down and restart my computer and then it works but eventually it happens again. This seemed to start with iCloud.I have no problem with the mail on iCloud.com.
Any possible suggestions? -
HT4597 icloud transfer re: mail problem
I moved to the cloud, but imac still seems to be using mobileme and has stopped importing my emails. I can send mail, but not receive incoming mail. My mail preferences indicate that there has been a transfer to icloud. I have to go to icloud website to get mail. what do I need to do to get icould mail via my imac mail application?
txAs it turns out, I unwittingly created this problem (most probably) by fixing permissions off the DW cd. I wrongly assumed (failed to read ALL the documentation) that this recently purchased "updated" DW cd was COMPLETELY Leopard compatible, BUT, as it turns out, ONLY rebuilding the directory was! So, by running fixing permissions off the DW cd, I was unknowingly fixing them with Tiger! Oy vey!
In the end, I had to create another admin account because of a seriously whacked Finder. All seems fine at the moment. Knock on wood. -
The I cloud on mu IPAd keeps reverting to my old password so that I cannot get mail. Sometimes this happens on my iPhone as well.

Thanks!!!
Why would you delete your iCloud account for a password change with your Yahoo account?

Problem with iCloud and E-mail set-up
I have been trying to set-up an iCloud e-mail account but keep getting the messages that it cannot set-up the account.
Problems from the iCloud control provide the message that I should use the e-mail preferences to set-up the account, the e-mail preferences provides the message that I should set-up iCloud account. The iCloud account has been set-up and the apple ID works well with other applications.
Not sure what the issue is?Welcome to the Apple Community SupportLesley9119.
Go to system preferences > iCloud and uncheck Mail. Go to the Mail application and check that the account has disappeared, if not delete it. Go back to system preferences > iCloud and check mail. -

When I purchased my I pad at the store they advised me to log on with my hot mail address we did this and apparently found out that my Itunes account had been hacked. I was then told that apple would cancel my hotmail account and that I had to use a new email address which I did logged on everything has changed apart from the Icloud account which is still keeping the old e mail address as my id. Please can someone explain how to change this. When I look on my i pad there is a red bar that says delete account I was wondering if I deleted this would everything be ok if I started over again?
Thank you in advance for any help.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. -
Hi Guys,
Do you know to how update my iCloud ID to match my Apple ID if I don't know the password for the old ID and I don't have access to the old e-mail address?Hi Guys,
I've sorted it
All I needed to do was add my old e-mail address - not as the primary but as an alias. This allowed me to delete the account on my iPhone 4S and re-sign in with the correct e-mail address.
Happy now -

How do I get iCloud Mail set as preference instead of old Apple Mail?
Every time I click on a hyperlink e-mail address, it opens the old Apple Mail program. How do I set everything to go to iCloud mail?
Open Applications/Utilities/AppleScrupt Editor. Paste in the following:
tell application "Safari"
open location "https://www.icloud.com/#mail"
end tell
Save it with a suitable title and make sure to set 'File format' to 'Application'. Place it anywhere convenient.
Now go to Mail Preferences>General and click the 'Default email reader' menu: choose 'Select' and navigate to your AppleScript. -

You do not have to purchase any storage for iTunes match, your iTunes match subscription allows you to store up to 25,000 tunes, you cannot selectively choose tunes to store or not to store.
