I cant verify my icloud account because its using an invalid e mail account that i dont know the pw to

I keep getting prompted for to sign into i cloud with an invalid account.  My apple ID account is working fine.  How can I delete this invalid e-mail account that is currently associated with my I cloud account?

Hi audiomichelle,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are talking about being prompted for an old Apple ID in iCloud on your iOS device, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • I have an old apple id that i havent used for years. For some reason i have updates on my mac i cannot do unless i sign onto that old account. It uses an old e mail account i no longer use or have access to. How can i get to do these updates?

    I have an old apple id that i havent used for years. For some reason i have updates on my mac i cannot do unless i sign onto that old account. It uses an old e mail account i no longer use or have access to. How can i get to do these updates?

    its very specific.
    If you are seeing the old Apple ID with regard to this Mac, then it would seem that somehow you have incorporated the ID in the setup of this new Mac.
    Iphoto i use never used imovie.
    If you began using iPhoto without having Accepted it into your Apple ID, then that would explain why you are unable to update the app. If any of the iLife apps are used without Accepting them into your Apple ID, the ability to accept them will lapse and you will not be able to update them.

    That is correct, you now have a paperweight.  Unless you can get a hold of the orignal owner.

  • I changed my Apple ID email and can't access my iCloud account because it's with my old email and I don't know the password.

    I got a new phone and I can't sign into iCloud (it keeps bothering me about it so I wanna just end this). I changed my Apple ID email a while ago and now iCloud won't let me sign in with that email. I do not know my old password for my old email with iCloud. Is there anyway I can just change that email all together without providing a passwod for that stupid old account? I'd love some help because I've been trying to fix it for several hours.

    Here's an updated set of instructions you can try:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going 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.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • I cant verify my icloud account!!help!!

    I cant verify my icloud acount it keeps saying cant connect to server! Its and ipone 4s text internet etc work when i try to log into icloud it says i have to verify account......but cant verify can anyone help

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are in the same account because its sharing every thing even text messages

    How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are on my account because its sharing everything even text messages and its driving everybody crazy

    An icloud account is designed to be used by one user to keep his/her devices in sync. 
    If you have muitiple family members or friends using the same account as yours, then have them get their own Apple IDs and icloud accounts.
    If you mean you want to stop the sharing between all your devices, then on any one device, go to Settings>icloud and turn off the services you don't want that device to share/sync.  Or turn off icloud altogether if that's what you want.

  • HT4061 i cant activate my iphone 5c because it has been locked with a different apple id. i dont know the original owner so i need help. its a second-hand phone that i bought some months back

    i cant activate my iphone 5c because it has been locked with a different apple id. i dont know the original owner so i need help. its a second-hand phone that i bought some months back

    Unfortunately, there is pretty much nothing you can do. Only the owner of the account used to lock it can remove the lock. If you can't contact whoever you purchased it from, or if they can't or won't remove the lock, then it's a brick. There is a very real chance that it's stolen.

    i want to delete my i cloude account but i dont know the password of my i cloude account because i bought it from market plz help me

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only wipe your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

  • How can i transfer my songs from my nano to a new itunes account because when i try to it tells me that i need to errase whatever is on the nanno ans then i can sync whats on my itunes but i want to put these songs and store them onto this new itunes acc

    Your i-device was not designed to be a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. If the computer has nothing on it, the device is set to match the computer's content -- nothing.The exception is purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

    Hi there
    I had the same problem and I found this answer to a similar question to ours, so I copied and pasted it for you
    Reset the device by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for approximately 10 seconds.  After it resets the message will be gone and you can go to settings > icloud and put in your password.
    That seems to be a bug with the password alert where it won't respond correctly sometimes.
    Hope this helps

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are referring to adding a secondary account, to a single device, then you can do this at system preferences >mail, contacts & calendars.

  • My IPhone is asking me to type in my password for my old Apple ID that does not exist anymore. I cant set up ICloud without typing in a password to a Apple ID that does not exist, so do I have to remove everything from my IPhone and start over?

    Hello miamat2017
    You should see an option to skip that step and then sign out of it when looking in Settings. Check out the article below for more information.
