I changed my Apple ID and now I can't access iCloud

iCloud is already set on my old Apple ID in my Iphone and I can't delete it. Whenever I add my password it says it's wrong, and when I tried to retrieve my password (of the former Apple ID) it didn't send me an email. I also tried changing my account's Apple ID back to the old one but it says "This email address is not available for use as an Apple ID. You may already have an Apple ID associated with this address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID"
I have only one Apple ID. Can anybody help me?

I would go to managing your Apple ID at this website and see if your information is all correct, first ...
https://appleid.apple.com/
You'll see if you can sign in on managing your Apple ID, and then if you can, you can see if your information is all correct, and then ... you should be able to go back and do it, since you've verified your information.

  • HT201342 i changed my email address and now I can not access iCloud because the old address keeps popping up.

    i changed my email address and now I can not access iCloud because the old address keeps popping up.

    Is this happening on your iOS device or your Mac? 
    And is the iOS device or Mac signed into the old ID ("email") in Settings>iCloud (System Preferences>iCloud)?

  • I changed my apple ID and now i can't access anything on iCloud becasue my devises don't give me a chance to change the default email address

    I changed my Apple ID on my mac. now when i try to sync my iPad, the user ID still is the emaill address of the OLD apple ID and it asks me for a password. I'd like for the message to have the NEW apple ID email and not the old, so that I can access the credit on my account in the app store and use iCloud on my iPad.
    Could someone offer help?

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

    Hi ccharat,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you did a good job editing your Apple ID and primary email address, but you didn’t sign out of iCloud on your iOS device before hand. What you may need to do in this situation is go back to the Apple ID website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the email address that is signed in with iCloud (there is no need to verify the account after editing it back to the old account, just changing it back is enough). Once your Apple ID is back to the original account, delete the iCloud account from the iOS device and be sure to keep all info on the device when prompted. After you delete the iCloud account, go back to the website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the new address. Once it is back to the account you would like, you can sign into the iCloud on the iOS device with that new account and merge all of the data when prompted. Please use the following article as a reference.

    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    I hope this helps,

  • I recently changed my internet provider and now I can't access any files on my time capsule.

    I recently changed my internet provider from Bell to Rogers and now I can't access my files on my Time Capsule. 
    When I click on Finder, it shows up as a Shared Drive.  Unfortunately, when I select it, the folder shows up blank.  I know the "Data" folder I'd created is there since Time Capsule is able to backup to it and iTunes is still downloading my music to that folder.  How do I fix this? 
    The wireless network works too since all my devices are able to connect to it.
    Help, please!

    NVM: Found out all I had to do was reboot my Macbook Pro. 

  • I changed my apple id and now I can't update my apps or download new ones.  I've changed the ID in my iphone settings, but when I go in the apps store my old ID shows up.  If I change my settings back to the old ID my password doesn't work.  HELP!

    So I changed my Apple ID.  Now on my Iphone I can't update things from the apps store or download new stuff.  I went into settings and changed my ID there, but in the apps store it still shows up as my old ID.  The apps store won't let me log on with the new one, as my old still shows up, and if I go back into settings and change it back to the old ID the password I had before no longer works.  This ***** Apple.  You just ruined my Iphone!!!  My phone went from being cool to being junk since I am not unable to download or update apps...the coolest part of my phone.  Someone help???  Please tell me how I can enjoy my phone and apps again...

    Thank you for the response, but I ended up temporarily resetting my Apple ID... It was a pain, but it worked in the end.

  • I changed my Apple ID and now I can't sign into iMessages because it still has my old ID. How do I change that also?

    I changed my Apple ID today and now I can't sign into iMessage because it still shows my old ID. How can I change this??

    Did you purchase Apple Care? If you did, you still have access to Apple Support.  If not, go to your Apple Store and let them help you get it set up correctly.  I'm sure it's something simple we're missing.  Good Luck. 
    Do remember one thing.  iMessage on iPad only works with other iOS devices.  This means you can only text to people who:
    1.  Have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch
    2.  And they have upgraded to iOS 5 or higher

  • I changed my apple id, and now I can't update my apps that were purchased/downloaded from my old apple id....HELP!!

    I am getting frustrated because I can't update my apps that were downloaded under the old apple id.  Any thoughts on how to fix this?  I have already tried signing back in under my old apple id and it says that that id is no longer in use.

    Applications are connected to the Apple ID that they were purchased/downloaded with. If you updated your ID, you should be able still sign in with that ID, if you are logged into that ID on the phone. However, if you created a new Apple ID, then you would not be able to use that ID to update the apps.

  • I changed my appleID and primary email and now I can not access iCloud. ICloud shows my old appleID but I can't change it. How do I get iCloud to work with my updated ID?

    I Changed my ISP and therefore changed my email address, which caused me to change my appleID.  I had no problems making the changes to my appleID but now I am having problems with iCloud. My old ID is still showing as my iCloud ID and I can not see where or how to change this. I keep getting an annoying pop up box to enter the password for my OLD appleID as well as error messages that I can't back up to iCloud.
    CAn someone please tell me how I can fix this so my iCloud works.
    THank you!!!!!

    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    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.

  • I've bought a new remote for my apple TV and now I can't access the menu

    I just bought a new remote for my Apple TV since I lost the original one.  Now I cannot access the menu as all I get is the standard "screen saver".  Even then, sometimes it won't even turn on, so I have to unplug it and wait two minutes and then plug it back in.  Regardless if I do that or not...........the best I ever get is the screen saver. 

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

    Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.

  • I changed My apple ID and now my iCloud is not working

    I recently changed my Apple ID and now iCloud does not recognize it and keeps asking for my old password which does not work. How do I switch all of my accounts to this new Apple ID?

    Did you change the email address associated with an existing account, or did you create an entirely new account?

  • I changed my Apple password, and now one of the iPhones on my account cannot do FaceTime.  It says that it has to be activated....help, my grand daughter is going to assassinate me!!!

    Yes. I have tried that. When I use the ID I had before, it sets it up as a new account and I don't want to lose my stats attached to my old account.
    Let's say that my old nickname was "user10" and I used the email, "[email protected]" for my apple id. I changed my apple id to "[email protected]" and it changed my game center account to "mynew" and somehow I am friends with my old acct, "user10". I tried getting a password reset for "user10" but I apparently don't know my own birthday, which is possible because I usually give a false one, but the same false one each time.
