HT5625 i changed my apple id, now phone is stuck...

i logged in to myapple on computer and changed my apple id.
now icloud account on my iphone is the old email address.
I  can't delete teh old acccount because i have to enter the password for the old account to turn off find my iphone.
but the old password doesn't get recognized.
how do i get the old icluod account off the phone so i can add the new one?

Basically, you have to sign in under the previous Apple ID, so you can sign out of all the iCloud services that use it.
If that's not working for you read the following:
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
There are three steps, be sure to follow all of them.
The following may help explain the reason this occurred:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
It would be nice if Apple placed more emphasis on this excerpt from Changing your Apple ID
Before you change your Apple ID:
Sign out of all Apple features and services that you use with your current Apple ID.
I interpret that to apply to all your devices - Macs as well as iOS. Signing out of all services on all devices prior to changing one's Apple ID will preclude this problem from occurring.

    I tried that now. I was forced to "delete" everything on the cloud, and now I tried signing in exactly as you described, about 45 mins ago, and I'm still waiting for it to actually sign in.

    Had to change my Apple id, now having trouble with email on icloud.
    And also receive pop ups that says there is a with problem with photo stream which i can't use, with my operating system

    For the ones that give you an option, select the option you want (keep on the Mac or Delete). For the ones that are simply warning you, click on Delete from Mac.
    They will all come back when you sign back on, since all you did was change your existing Apple ID to a new email address. It's the same iCloud account, just with a different name.
    It's the only way to get your updated ID signed onto iCloud.

    syncing iphone and now phone is stuck and wont power off or do anything

    Reboot the phone:  hold down the power button and the home button at the same time until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "slide to shut down".  When the screen has been completely black for a few minutes, press the power button again.

  • Changed my apple id now can't access my icloud acct.  not the same password and I don't know it

    Can't access my icloud acct to back up data to another phone.  I am the primary and until I can access my icloud account the other phone won't back up.  How do I access my icloud password.  I have changed my apple id password 4 times and still no success.  Now my apple id is now incorrect.  Yikes!  I have had a call with Technical security and they are puzzled as well.  Couldn't help me... is there anyone that has had this issue?

    If you changed the password for your AppleID, the only way to change that on an iOS device is to delete the iCloud account, then add it back with the new/updated login credentials.  It sounds awkward (well, it is I guess), but you just need to do that - delete the iCloud account then add it back.

  • I changed my Apple ID. now no icloud

    I changed my Apple ID and now icloud wants the password from the old ID, which no longer works. I've tried the new password too. icloud gets caught in a loop and won't let me exit the screen...

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Change your ID back (My Apple ID), delete the iCloud account from your device, change the ID back again to what it is now, log in on your phone using your new ID.

  • After changing my Apple ID, my phone still won't update the new email address.

    I needed to change my Apple ID email because my school email is going to be deleted. I changed the ID on the computer, and verified it. I tried to activate the change on my phone under "iCloud", but the email is still the old one. Now I can't download/buy anything. What should I do?
    Thanks,
    Emma

    Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out... Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.
    It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

  • I changed my apple password now i cloud sign in box keeps popping up on my I pad 2 and will not take my password

    I changed my apple password from my i phone so when I tried to get on on my Ipad 2, the sign into icloud keeps popping up! It will not go away after entering the password, it doesnt say it's wrong it just keeps popping up! I have had no prolems with my iphone or my mac! I tried updating and that didnt help! Someone please help!!

    The reason it won't authenticate your password is because it isn't connected to wifi.  Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, the release and wait for it to restart.  As soon as it restarts, quickly go to Settings>Wi-Fi and connect it before it starts prompting you.  Once it's connected to wifi, enter your password when prompted and it should take it this time.

  • I bought a used iphone can someone tell me how to change the apple id on phone please. Thank You!

    I bought a used iphone yesterday and it has a apple id on it and I need to know how to change that apple id over to my id. I do not have the password for the previous owner. Can someone please help me with this? Thank you!

    Removing data is all or none, and "forgetting" to do so before selling your phone is no "small thing" - it's like selling your purse with your wallet and credit cards still inside.
    So I am afraid you were not very helpful!
    Every day there are posts from people with obviosly found or stolen iPhones who mysteriouly "forget" their passcode (or forget to obtian it from the prior owner) and who somehow don't have access to the computer the phone was synced with, looking for help to gain access to the phone.  I'm not interested in helping others boost iPhones.

  • I had to change my apple ID now how do I update icloud without deleting all cloud data on the computer?

    My provider is terminating email service so I had to change my apple ID.  I did that in iTunes but now my icloud on my PC wants me to sign in under my old id, I don't see a way to update to the new ID without deleting all cloud data on the PC.  Is there another way so I don't have to resync everything from the cloud?

    Check the list in the link below, how to change all services, after you changed your Apple ID:
    What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071
    In particular, for iCloud:
    Update your Apple ID or password on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, and Apple TV.
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
    Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you're signed out, enter your updated Apple ID or password. The data in iCloud will automatically appear on your device after you sign in.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    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. You might need to enter your password. Your data will remain in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter your updated Apple ID or password.
