I changed my Apple ID and now my iCloud doesn't recognize my new id. What can I do to fix the problem?

I changed my Apple ID and now my iCloud doesn't recognize my new id. Can anyone help me with my problem? Please break it down for me, I'm an old lady. Lol

To change the iCloud ID on your iPad you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. 
If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go 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.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPad, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID.
Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (open the my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account 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 and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I've reseted my network settings on my ipod touch 4g and now i cannot connect to my wifi internet. What can i do to fix this problem???

    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

    It is not related to a specific iOS update. It just happens occasionally to iOS devices.

  • HT201407 during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings it took 4 hours an completed but my iphone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please

    during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings using itunes it took 4 hours and completed but my phone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please help #

    In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.
    @TJBUSMC1973-
    I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
    Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
    I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right????

    If you are having an issue with your Apple TV telling you it can not play HDCP content, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

    What do you mean by: "not loading completely"?
    Maybe this:

    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Purchase/install any new app

    If you can get them paired again try making them "favorites" from the Bluetooth system preferences.
    Try smc and pram reset too.  May gave to do this before you can get them paired.

  • 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 ID and now my icloud isn't working.

    I changed my Apple ID. My icloud is using my old Apple ID. It's asking me to log out and log back in to reset it, and saying that if I do, it will delete all of contacts, calendar events etc from my mac... whats the solution?

    Of course it will. The contacts etc. are held on the server, so when you sign out your device can't access them. (Think of it like webmail). It can't update the data anyway as you've changed the ID. You have to log out and log back in: your data will reappear when you log back in (give it time).

  • I recently changed my Apple ID and now my Icloud won't work.

    How do I change my iCloud ID to match my Apple ID?

    Did you change the entire ID or just your password?  If you changed the entire ID, you're going to have to sign out of the cloud and sign back in, via settings.  But, if you just changed your password, you can change that in iCloud settings on your iPad.  Also, if you completely changed your Apple ID, you do know that you won't be able to update any of the purchased apps on your iPad via your new ID.  Apps are tied to the Apple ID they were purchased under.

  • What is going on with my phone and what can I do to fix the problem?

    This is the second time this has happened to my phone. For some random reason, it decides to shut off on me. No matter how many times I press the home button or the lock button, it still acts as if it's powered off. It makes no sound, nor any vibrations. Like I said, it acts as if it were powered off but if someone else were to call my phone, you would still here a ringing as opposed to being sent directly to voicemail, all while my phone continues to remain dead. Last time this happened, it didn't end up working until the next day. FYI, battery power is still running while this is going on, and if I were to connect my phone to the charger, it would still remain dead... Why is my phone reacting this way, and what can I do to keep this from happening?

    Hi there harely95,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

    Would you care to tell us which version of Mac Pro, and which version of OS X, you are running?  (It's not always safe to assume that a User is running Lion just because he posted in the Lion Forum.)

    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.
