HT5824 cannot login to icloud on phone, old user id causing problems

Help, I have an old user id that was backed up onto my computer. I got a new iphone 5s and restored from computer instead of from icloud. Now i can't sign into icloud on my new phone and cannot turn off "Find iphone". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have gone to the icloud.com web site there is no trace of the old user id.
That sounds as though it's the same account with a changed address. If so...
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I changed my apple id from the one I used to originally sign up to iCloud and now cannot login to iCloud - do I need to change it back to access iCloud?

I changed my apple id from the one I used to originally sign up to iCloud and now cannot login to iCloud - do I need to change it back to the original apple id in order to access iCloud?

Gosh, this is full of great information and I need something a little bit deeper - and because I'm not a techy - can I explain...Apple ID changed a year ago from a work email to a personal email. No longer have access to original email..... New email and Apple ID worked flawlessly until today - every 3 seconds Sign in to iCloud pops up.. with the old work email. I enter the password - which is the same... and it says invalid.
I tried to delete the icloud, but you need the password and it says "find my phone" is on... i turn it off, and it's the old email... and the password again doesn't work, of course.
I am left stratching my head... I sync my phone and my correct, up to date email is in the Apple ID sections...
What am I doing wrong.. talk slow to me please, lol.

Cannot login to iCloud with Yosemite

Hi everybody,
a few weeks ago I updated my iMac to Yosemite. It all works fine except that I cannot login to iCloud with my wife's account.
When she logs in into her iMac account it sometimes appears a Mac configuration screen. It seems that everything's ok, because
the configuration finishes without error message, but when I look into the System Preferences -> iCloud her iCloud account is not active.
When I try to login with her ID a message appears "You can't sign in at this time. Please try again later."
It also doesn't work when I go into the System Preferences -> Internet Accounts and try there to login into iCloud.
It really bothers me because I didn't find a solution. And also I don't understand why it works with mit ID on my iMac account.
There is no problem to login with her ID on the Apple page, I've already tried that.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
1. Sign out of your account
(If you are unable to do this because System Preferences has frozen, Force Quit System Preferences and try again)
2. When prompted, opt to delete, contacts, calendars etc from your Mac.
(You are only deleting this data from your Mac, not from iCloud, the data will be reinstated when you log back in. If you need to check that the data is in iCloud before deleting it go to iCloud.com and check each section for data)
3. Having logged out, check that the iCloud accounts along with their data have disappeared from the Mail, Address Book and iCal Applications.
(If necessary, delete the iCloud accounts from each of these application separately from each Applications Preferences)
4. At this point it may be worth trying to log into iCloud from the System Preferences iCloud settings again, if this works, all well and good, if it doesn't continue to step 5.
5. Open your User Library folder in the Finder. (When in the Finder, go to the Go menu, hold down the option key (alt) and choose Library when it appears in the Go menu)
6. Navigate to Library > Application Support > iCloud and drag the iCloud folder to your desktop. (This action only copies the folder and will provide you with a back up)
7. Select the iCloud folder again in Library > Application Support and drag it to the trash, enter your administrators password when prompted.
8. Restart your computer.
9. You should now be able to enter your ID and Password in system Preferences > iCloud and log into your account. Check the services you wish to use and once you are satisfied it's working as it should, trash the iCloud folder you copied to your desktop earlier.

I recently changed my Email for my iTunes account, now I cannot login to iCloud, how do I change my iCloud email address?, I recently changed my Email for my iTunes account, now I cannot login to iCloud, how do I change my iCloud email address?

I recently changed my AppleID, now my iCloud email is prompting me to enter my new password, when I enter the password that I use for my new AppleID it is incorrect for iCloud. I need to change the ID for iCloud, but I cannot find where do change it. I am not very technical so please answer on my level;)

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.

Email verification not resent. What do I do now? I cannot set up icloud on phone.

We had phone problems. Phones and ipads were all on same apple id. New account set for second phone. New email used for first phone. I requested email verification again, but it hasn't come through.

Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email. More details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5404.

You cannot backup photos to iCloud.
You can enable Photo Stream (in Settings > iCloud) but only for 30 days and only a max of 1000 photos.
Then what does this mean? It was copied from the kb article that I posted above.
Reducing the size of your Camera Roll backup
If you take lots of photos and videos with your iOS device, you may notice your Camera Roll takes up most of your iCloud Storage backup. To check the size of the Camera Roll backup on your device:
On your Home Screen, tap Settings.
Tap iCloud.
Tap Storage & Backup.
Tap Manage Storage.
In the Backups section, tap your device.
In the Backup Options section, the backup size is displayed under Camera Roll.
To reduce the size of your Camera Roll backup, save your photos and videos locally to your computer with iTunes, and then manually back up your iOS device. If you want to keep your photos and videos on your iOS device, you can turn off Camera Roll in Backup (see the "Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your Device" section above) orpurchase additional storage.

New Phone - Old User

I'm a grandmother who just purchased a Samsung Fascinate. I'm doing pretty well for "old school" but when I come to learning, I'm so much better off having a manual. Is there one available for this phone? For example, where can I find out how to change Contact information? How do I initiate an email (I can receive them and respond). I know these are very basic things to most of you, but not to me. Any help out there?

Oh and by the way, for some quick tips on how to get things rolling with your phone, I found a site that was a little helpful. Try visiting www.new-samsung.phones.com/samsung-fascinate and then go through some of the things there to help you get a feel for moving around on your new phone.
Its a good phone and if you just got it, do all you can to personalize the things you want or need, so if you do find out things don't work like maybe they should you can trade in or get help and so on. They only give you 30 days to return it. It is an electronic device and not everyone comes out of the box just perfect. It's a great phone though.
www.androidcentral .com has helpful info about the android operating system this phone uses and I hear www.appbrain.com is a good place to visit also. I will friend you on here in case you more help. I am learning too and it's allot of fun.

"changes to the public group membership cannot be saved" error from Outlook 2010 users, but no problem with Outlook 2003.

We have the exact same issue as this but our groups are already universal security group and we still have problem:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-NZ/exchangesvrmigration/thread/2c953cb4-5411-4f72-beb9-6b4c16fd6685
The distribution-groups were upgraded to Exchange 2010. User A can update the group from Outlook 2003 or OWA 2010 but not from Outlook 2010. Anyone know the solution?
thanks

Hi lilyl,
For this issue, please refer to this document:
How to Manage Groups that I already own in Exchange 2010?
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2009/11/18/3408844.aspx
So what does the "Changes to the distribution list membership cannot be saved. You do not have sufficient permission to perform
this operation on this object." error mean, when you are connecting to an Exchange 2010 server?
It means Exchange 2010 is doing its job - as designed...
Thanks,
Evan

Can't login on my Android phone: "Oops, please check your details".

Hi all, I have created a new plain Skype account yesterday. I works fine on my laptop, where I can sign in without any problems. However, on my Android phone I just get the error message "Oops, please check your details" and Skype keeps showing the login screen. Password and username that I enter are definitely correct. With my old plain Skype account I can login on my Android phone (and laptop) without any problem. I have already force stopped the Skype app, cleared the data, uninstalled and reinstalled it. I have also made sure that I wasn't logged in on my laptop. The only apparent difference seems to be the hyphen (minus sign) in my new Skype name. Might this cause the problem? My setting:Alcatel One Touch 997d w/ stock Android 4.0.4 & WiFi (home network), Skype v3.0.0.6181 Thanks very much for your help,
Dom

Oh, I have to update my story. I spoke too soon in my earlier post . Only after about a few days, or something like a week, the error came back again. And I'm QUITE certain that after changing the password, it would work again! (again.) And yes it makes me think special charcaters are not really the problem, but that 'whatever' the problem is, resetting your password seems to provide TEMPORARY relief! I haven't bothered to update my password since this second failure, because of the hassle of updating it on more than 3 devices I own. I have been missing out, no skype on my android phone. This i a real bug. there hasn't been an android updates for months (more than a year? I don't know), why aren't devs acknowledging and looking into this?...

Restored client cannot login users

We had to restore one of the 10.4.11 PowerMac G5s in our lab after hard drive problems. The image is the same as what all the other client machines started out with and we used Directory Access to connect to our server's domain. But something's not right. Users with Home folders cannot log in. Is there something on the server that needs to be cleared after restoring a client machine?
TIA,
David

I assume you:
1. Rebound the Server to Client via Directory Utility
2. Checked Managed Computer list for record of Computer still being listed via Ethernet ID
Are you getting which error:
1. Attempt to login brings up the "AFP users cannot login at this time" Error,
which points to a problem with AFP ( ghost users need to be cleared out,
AFP services stopped and restarted)
or
2. The "network home is unreachable or not able to be accessed at this time" after the
student logs in ( which points to a network issue, possibly DNS or Router related)

Cannot add second iCloud address to mail

I a using OS X 10.9 on MacBook Pro Late 2008.
I have set up a primary iCloud account in Preferences/iCloud,
no problem with it. All (sync) servces work.
Now I want to add a second .me/iCloud acount, especially
to sync mail. But no matter where I try to add the acount
(either Preferences/Internet Accounts or within Mail.app)
it does not work. When I add the second iCloud account
from Preferences/Internet Accounts the account gets
added but there is no checkmark at Mail and Notes.
When I try to set the checkmark, a modal window
opens which ask me to create a new iCloud email.
When I put in my iCLoud email it tells me, that this mail
is already taken - well, that's no surprise.
I can login to iCloud.com with the user
and password but even in the web interface I get an error:
To use iCloud email create a new e-mail address.
But why should I create a new iCloud mail address if
I login in with an iCloud mail address.
The iCloud account has a primary .me address
and an "confirmed" .iCloud alias. And I can login
with both the .me and the .iCloud address.

Found a solution: once I added the account on an iOS device I got a option to create the iCloud address which I just accepted (this time there I am not forced to create a new address). From then I could sync mail and notes from my MacBook and also mails in the iCloud webfrontend started working.

I changed my Apple ID (other email address and password) and now I can not login to my account in the iPhone iCloud. When I open the tab iCloud displayed my old Apple ID (it was in the iCloud) and asks for a password, but neither the old nor the new passw

I changed my Apple ID (other email address and password) and now I can not login to my account in the iPhone iCloud. When I open the tab iCloud displayed my old Apple ID (it was in the iCloud) and asks for a password, but neither the old nor the new password does not match. What to do?

If you want to change your iCloud ID or password on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated information. Note: this only deletes the account and any synced data from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
