I changed my apple id email and now my phone does not recognize it for icloud.

I changed my apple id email address and now my iphone 5s does not recognize it for icloud. It keeps asking for the old email address apple id.

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).

Just reset my apple ID and password, but iPhone does not recognize it for iCloud or iTunes. Is there a way to be sure these iPhone features use my new Apple ID and password?

Have never been able to use iCloud because my iPhone (v 4) does not recognize my apple ID or password. Any ideas?

If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. 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 iPhone on your device. Then 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. You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

I "Erased all content and settings" and now my iTunes does not recognize my iPhone when I plug it in. Plus my iPhone is stuck with the apple symbol on it and wont do anything. what did I do? How do I get my phone to work again?

Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. Usually takes about 10 seconds time. If still problem. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the Firmware.

I had to reload my software and now the computer does not recognize my ipod

I had to reload my software due to a virus, and iTunes wouldnt work. Wound up deleting iTunes from the computer and reloading it. It works but lost all my library and the computer now does not recognize my iPod. Like it is synced to another computer, but both are the same as before. I want to restore my iPod library back to the computer and get new music, but nothing seems to work, plus I cant transfer new music to my iPod either. I am so lost.

Installed (KB905474) and now my iTunes does not recognize my iPod...

First off KB905474 is a windows update for XP SP2. For me everything worked before it was insatlled, and iTunes stopped recognizing my iPod afterwards. After following the instructions for this situation I still had the problem. So I posed a message on the message boards at Microsoft relating to this bug and their WGA program. (More on that later but it is off topic.) The eventual response I got was "I tried this with my iPod (nano) and did not have a problem, it must be your hardware or iTunes."
Since I had already removed and installed iTunes 3 or 4 times at this point with the current version to no avail. That and all of my other USB devices are still working.
Basically I'm here to see if there is anyone else who has run into this specific problem in the last few days. My thought is that the more people I can find an join in my complaint the better chance we all have of getting a fix from someone...
So how do you know if you are having this problem.
1) Windows update installed KB905474 within the last few days. No earlier than 6/5. You can find this out by going to Microsoft Update and checking your update history. It will supply your with a list of what was installed, when it was installed and if it was successful.
2) That date corresponds with the day iTunes stopped recognizing your iPod.
Additional symptoms are the following:
a) Your iPod works normally when you try to use it
b) Your computer takes longer to startup when you connect your iPod before turning it on.
c) Your iPod will not take a charge from your computer, but you have no problems charging it form another source. (Another computer, additional adaptor, etc.)
If I get a reasonable response here I'll post the link to my complaint on the MS message board.
Thanks

Hi again, The way I solved mine was by going over the specs required and reading the posts, A firewall ls required to run an ipod according to Apple. One of the posts talked about firewall device drivers. Before I went to the trouble of changing firewalls. first I went to mine . which is windows that came with my computer. I nevermess with it. But ipod also required SP2, which I installed(against my better judgement- SP2 has messed up the compatability with other programs before), so my settings could have been adjusted. When I went in to windows security and went to settings. my usbs connections were there but not checked. So I checked everything thaat had a usb connection symbol, It shut down , restarted. I plugged in went to updater, plugged in the ipod and after 10 seconds the screen changed to reconition. I let it wipe my ipod(no data on it). Then I went to itunes , after 15 seconds it put my ipod on itunes, a miracle.
One way or another a firewall is required to run an ipod on your computer

I downloaded os5 and now my phone does not recognise my 4 digit security code and I am locked out of my phone

Please help

Your not talking to apple here, we are users just like you. But if you have restored your phone from backup, then from new, and still not working, then make an appointment with an apple genius bar, let them check it and replace if needed.

I updated to the latest version of itunes and now the computer does not recognize the ipod so now it will not complete the sync of music and files

i updated the os on the ipod as well

I changed my apple ID password and now facetime cannot verify my e-mail address. I have tried changing my password back but still recieve the same pop up window telling me that the email could not be verified and to check my network but have wifi working

Please help. I changed my apple id password and now cannot use facetime and my icloud continues to prompt me for my password and I continue to give it but, I repeatedly am prompted for the password unless I cancel the icloud. I have tried changing my password back to the password I had before and this did not work. I have tried to use another e-mail address for facetime and had verified that e-mail address and this did not work. I do not know how to fix this problem. I have thought about changing my apple id but am not sure how I would be able to carry over the same credit card number to the new apple ID. I loved my Mac book Pro because I could facetime my boyfriend while I am working away and now I cannot. I am starting to hate Mac.

The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

I changed my Apple ID password and now I can't log into iCloud

I changed my Apple ID password and now I can't log into iCloud. In addition I am unable to sign out or exit the iCloud System Preference page and have to force a shut down using the power off button to get rid of it. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

If the Preference Pane hangs, hit comand-option-escape and force quit System Preferences to avoid having to reboot.
In order to sign out you need the original password if you have set up 'Find My ....'. However you can't now change the password back to the original one (as you are not allowed to re-use a password).In this situation only Support can help you.
To contact iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.
