I changed my Apple ID but now I cannot access my iCloud and can't reset iCloud password

I Forgot my Apple ID password so I changed it. However it did not change my iCloud account email and now I can't get  signed into iCloud. I've tried reseting the iCloud password but it only sends me links to reset my current Apple ID

What exactly did you change, your account's password and/or the primary email address on the account ? If you are using the same account for the stores and the cloud then changing the account's password will change it for both places.
If you are trying to sign out of Settings > iCloud on your iPad and are being asked for your previous id's password then : If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud.

    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.

    Have not a clue if this a LION problem or Microsoft problem.  My gut says Microsoft as they acknowledge the problem in their support section.  Their solution:  Open files with previous version of Word.  That is completely unacceptable as a solution in my opinion.  Why would have I ever bothered to upgrade to 2011 if I had known I need to keep a version of 2008 running on my computer. 
    Honestly I don't know if it's a Lion or MS problem eihter. I have been using Lion for many months with Office 2011 with no problems though.The earliest version I had on my machine was 2008 and 2011 opened those files with no problems at all. As Dave mentioned earlier he opens Office 2004 files all the time with 2011.
    One thing you might want to do is restart the computer while holding down the Option key then select the Restore Volume and run Disk Utility and repair the Disk Permissions on the HD. Run DP at least 2x.

  • HT4759 I changed my email for my Apple ID. Now I cannot access my iCloud account.

    I have had to change my apple account id email. I now find that I keep gettting the message that the username or password is incorrect when trying to access icloud account How can I sync my new apple id email and my icloud account information. The Apple id email on my icloud account information is the old email and is greyed out.?

    Hello there, HK55.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great follow-up information for once you've changed your Apple ID:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    For iCloud on an iOS device it recommends the following:
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • I have changed my Apple ID, but then I cannot access all the apps and books I purchased in the past with my previous ID? How can I recover my purchased items?

    I have changed successfully my Apple ID. But when opening iTune with my new Apple ID, I don't see all the apps and books I purchased before changing the Apple ID. I appreciate if someone would let me know why and how can I access to my purchased items again.
    Thanks.

    If you are referring to an iDevice, sign out of your new Apple ID and sign back in with your old one - they should all be there.

    You can't sign into your iCloud account using the new password on icloud.com on your computer?

  • User ID change requires PW. What if I do not know it and can't reset it?

    A User ID change requires a PW. What if I do not know it and can't reset it?

    I still don't understand how and when you are encountering that obstacle, but nevertheless if you cannot surmount it you will have to solicit Apple's help.
    Apple can reset your iPhone if you present them its original, dated sales receipt. I believe you will have to do that in person at an Apple Store or an Apple Authorised Service Provider.

  • I changed my Apple ID but now the old ID comes up when I try to buy an IBook.  How do I get the Apple ID to match my IBook ID?

    My old email was hacked so I changed it and closed the old email.  I recently attempted to purchase a book in iBook where I found my iBook account blocked.  I changed my Apple ID and password and verified the new email I submitted.  I then tried to purchase the book using the new ID and password.  The old ID continues to come up when I am asked for my password.  (I don't remember the old password).  How do I get the ID to reflect my new one?  I can't download the book without fixing this problem.  Thanks

    open iBooks, then go to the Store, down at the bottom there should be an Account button. click on that button, you should then be able to log out of the old account and then login on the new account.

  • I changed internet providers forcing a change for my apple id but now I cant update because old id pops up asking for password which no longer valid

    I have an ipod and had to change my internet provider. because my previous apple id was part of that providers email I had to change my apple id. Since that time I cant update my ipod because it pops up with the old apple id and password which is no longer valid. How can I get the old apple id/password off the ipod and update my apps

    Hey cxl1234,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues after changing your Apple ID. To troubleshoot the issue, lets do the following:
    App Store
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store.
    - If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, sign in with your current Apple ID.
    - If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID, tap your previous Apple ID and tap Sign Out. Then enter your current Apple ID to sign in.

    If the above did not resolve your issue, and the applications are available from your purchase history, let’s go ahead and delete them and re-download (this will download the latest version):

  • I changed my Apple ID but my iTunes hasn't updated so I can't access it...do I need to reset all devices to factory settings? or how else do I get the iTunes to link to Apple ID?

    I updated my Apple ID primary email address without having switched off 'Find my....' on all devices. A 2 hour very helpful call with Apple Support solved ny Apple ID and ICloud. Later, I tried to update apps but my iTunes account is still on the old ID and I can't access that email/password anymore. I can't get a support appointment for 48 hours but need to update travel apps soon!
    Do I need to reset to factory settings on all devices (5!) and start again...or how else can i get iTunes to link to my Apple ID now?
    Any help appreciated!

    Thanks, David. But that was the first thing I tried. For some reason, when I try to change my Apple ID back to my old email address, I get the message that that Apple ID is already in use and so I cannot use it! I have tried requesting a password reset using my old Apple ID email, but I've waited and waited and nothing has come to my old email address. This is sooooooo frustrating!
