I cannot log into my old Apple ID because I don't remember the password, but I cant change the password because the e-mail it was based from was hacked and deleted. How do I remove the old ID from my iCloud without the password?

I have an iPhone 4

I'm having the same issue. Except someone stole my phone and I don't know who, but I got it back and I don't know their username, but to delete the account you have too. Let me know if you find anything!
If you are the original owner of the phone, you can force it into recovery mode to restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.  You will then go through the setup screens on the phone to reactivate it.  This will require entering the ID and password that were used to activate the phone originally.

  • After 11.1 and ios 7 update, cannot log into ipad. says apple ID already in use. no issues prior to updates.

    After 11.1 and ios 7 update, cannot log into ipad. says apple ID already in use. no issues prior to updates.tried both primary and backup emails. says both already in use

    randers4, thank you for the suggestions.
    1) I have contacted Verizon and they are not blocking "premium" or 3rd party text messages.
    2) The Apple ID login issue occurs regardless of wi-fi network location, or even if I am not on wi-fi at all. Router settings are irrelevant to this problem.
    3) I have already played around extensively with date and time settings. This did not fix any issues.
    Any other suggestions? I had another call with Apple support and they are of the opinion that I may need to have the phone totally replaced, which is unacceptable unless it is free of charge.

    I have another computer that a virus may have taken over and I cannot log into it anymore.  I just downloaded Itunes on a new computer but most of my songs are not on there.  Is there a way to still access or find those songs?  Remotely or another way?  Or do I need to take it to a tech to get my files off of my hard drive?

    Edit > Preferences > Store check Music under Automatic Downloads.
    Open the iTunes Store from left hand column, then select Purchasedfrom the column on the right, click the Not In My Library button and select the tunes you want to download again.
    That said, you seem to be under a misapprehension as to how iTunes works, or at least how it has worked in the past. It has, until recently, been up to you take care of your purchases once they have been downloaded. You had a one-time download which you were reminded to back up. With the recent change to this policy you can at least download your store purchases again, but having a personal backup of your iTunes store purchases, stuff purchased elsewhere and files ripped from your CDs will still be preferable to gathering all the stuff together again in the event of a disaster.
    For a backup strategy see this User Tip.

  • After itunes update, cannot log into store with apple id

    I have logged out of my apple id and verified that I have the right password. When I log back into Itunes store from my macbook pro, it tells me I need to verify my billing info and asks for my apple id and password again. I enter it and it just circles around and asks for my username and password again. Its just a loop. What do I need to do?

    Hi Neil,
    Thank you for the quick response, do you work at Apple? Is there a way for one to confirm when a problem like this is related to a down system at Apple in the future, other than posting on the forums?
    Thanks again.

  • We cannot log into NBA on Apple TV.

    We purchased the NBA Broadband League Pass but we cannot log on when we go to Apple TV/NBA/Setting/Log in.  Going on two days now.  Anyone else just purchase the pass and try to get on Apple TV? And yes, we are using the correct name and password.  HELP.

    What a relief...! I just subscribed the new NBA ID Pass 159$ and I was shocked that it didn't work with my ATV2
    but when I contacted the NBA customer support the told me latterly that "Future support for the ATV is under works, but there is no timeline for release yet" i was disappointed from this answer as the season will kick off next week 25th Dec and still they didn't solve this problem. However, why when you try to log in NBA in ATV it says need to subscript NBA ID Pass from www.nba.com/appletv ? since this pass doesn’t accepted with ATV
    I think this is not fare, and misleading customers

  • Apple id was hacked and deleted

    My apple ID was hacked. They deleted/changed my apple id and now my icloud, my contacts, and my Notes on my iphone 4s are gone. What should I do?

    I've just had this same problem (password didn't work, iForgot emails not coming to me, my birthdate and also all security questions all changed).  I'm in the UK and have tried to contact Apple and OMG what a nightmare.  Is there any way I can email them?  Each time I try to do the call it just keeps saying 'I'm sorry, this is not available at this time.  Try again'.
    Things I've done so far:
    - changed my Apple ID to another email address from the recover process
    - changed all my security questions and changed my password
    - changed my ID and passwords on my iPad and iPhone for iTunes and App Store (although it's now let me download and charged me for an album I didn't want without asking me to put in any Apple ID or password - ??)
    My iCloud is just screwed now:  I can't get to anything to change the Apple ID and it just says 'everything will be deleted from my iPhone/iPad if I proceed'. I don't want to proceed when I can't get in to that iCloud Apple ID anymore as I may never be able to recover everything if I don't know that password any more.
    Have all my pictures, etc, been compromised on iCloud?  Should I change my bank card/bank security?
    Why can't I just email someone at Apple re reporting this rather than phone?  (it's 3.30am here at the moment, I really don't want to be on the phone!).  Any help advice you can give would be appreciated :o)

    Hello hblack123
    If you have a rescue email address setup, then you should be able to send an email to reset the password or the security questions. If that is not available, then you would need to contact iTunes Store support. Check out the article below for more information.

  • I have an old apple id that I don't use (and I don't remember the password) and it now won't let me log in for updates, how can I delete it

    I have an old apple id that I don't use (and I don't remember the password) and it now won't let me log in for updates, how can I delete it

    Click here and try resetting that account’s password.
    That Apple ID is stored inside each of those applications. If you can’t get back into it, you’ll need to delete and redownload all of them, which may require repurchasing paid ones.
