I changed my Apple ID to a different email address and can no longer play old songs
Some (but not all) of my songs that I purchased before the change are now asking for authorization from the account with the old email address. I cant authorize with the old email address because the account has been disable. What can I do to get arround this?
What happens when you try to log out of your account on your iPad and iPhone ? For the stores you should be able to log out just by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (or Settings > Stores depending upon the iOS version), and you can then log back in with the updated version of the account.
For the cloud Settings > iCloud > Sign Out (or Delete Account).

i have been trying to change my apple id to my new email address and it says i cant as the id is in use what do i do
If your new email address is an Apple-related email account (e.g., Mobileme account), you will get the 'email is already in use' message. If this is the case, you cannot consolidate your old Apple ID with your new one. I (and many others) have ran into this same issue.
If this is indeed the cause of your problem, I recommend that you start using your new Apple ID exclusively. If you made a considerable number of purchases under your old Apple ID (i.e., through iTunes), you will still have to log in under your old ID for that account.
Hopefully, one day Apple will allow us to consolidate accounts.
I hope this helps.

I changed my Apple ID to a new email address and I've forgotten old password
I changed the email associated with my Apple ID. My Apple ID is the same as my email address, so this changed my Apple ID too. I have forgotten the password for the old email address, which is als my old Apple ID. Now I want to change my email accounts on my phone and pad, but I cannot delete the old account or edit it. What do I do?

Have changed my apple Id to a new email address. its all working fine on my PC and also on come up with the new ID on my icloud page on my iphone but when i try to buy something from itunes etc on my phone, the log in box still contains the old id.
how do i change this?The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
It doesn't sound like you "changed" your Apple ID, sounds like you created a new one. Bad idea. All content bought with an Apple ID is forever tied to that ID. The ID that bought the content is the only ID that can update the content. Apple does not merge IDs not does Apple transfer content from one ID to another. -
I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?
Same question Wish someone had replied!
I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple! -
I recently changed my apple ID to my new email address. On my iPhone 4 I am trying to update apps and it asks me for my apple ID password for my old email address. How do I change to my new email address?
Did you change the Apple ID primary email to another email address or did you create a whole new Apple ID?
Go to settings>itunes & app store and if it shows your old apple id at the top then tap on it then sign out and then sign in with your new apple id email. -
I recently changed my Apple ID to a new email address. My old one still is in my phone, and cannot be permanently deleted as it says that Find my iPhone is still on. I can't turn it off because I do not have the password to my old "deleted" Apple ID. If you can help, please do! Thank you very much!
I have the EXACT SAME PROBLEM and have been researching the past 2 hours!!!! Aaargh!

I did not do my research before changing my Apple ID from an outdated email address to a current one. I just changed and verified and though I was all set. WRONG! Now I cannot sign in to iCloud because it will not let me enter the new Apple ID. I read the 10/30/13 randers4 post to just change your Apple ID back then sign in and change it to the new email address again and then you can sign in, but I cannot change back to the prior email address Apple ID because that is no longer an active email account (or at least not mine). Any thoughts on how to get signed into iCloud when it does not allow me to type in the new Apple ID and the old Apple ID no longer exists.
I see that many people have asked, but no one has come up with a solution that I found.
Thanks for any help!This did not work for me. My old email account for iCloud still pops up on my screen every time I open my macbook. I've deleted it, reset it, every thing I can think of and it still shows up. I think six months of this is more than enough time to wait.

This morning I changed my Apple ID to my new email address. I thought it meant that I could continue to use all my alias icloud email addresses with my new Apple ID because it would be the same account. Since then I have not received and new emails to my iCloud email addresses. Normally I get at least 7 new emails a day, so I'm pretty sure my iCloud addresses are not working. It would be a lot of work for me to notify a lot of people, companies, and organizations about new email addresses, so I really would like to make them work. Will it be possible to make them work with my new Apple ID?
Roger, I didn't know that "Delete Account" was synonymous with "log out". Yes, I had deleted my iCloud account in my iPad email settings more than once yesterday and again one more time after I read your reply. I then followed the instructions below to log off on my Windows PC. I found these when I searched for how to log off of iCould:
1- Go to www.iCloud.com
2- Sign in with your current login info
3- Click on your user name on top right corner
4- Select account setting
5- Select "Advanced."
6- Click 2nd option, "Sign Out Of All Browsers."
I also scanned settings for all the other apps on my iPad and changed a couple that still had my old sbcglobal email address. Later, I noticed that I was able to see my old previous iCloud emails in iCloud.com, and the couple of messages that I received from this Support Community site, but still no new emails. Suddenly the emails started rolling in again this morning. I have 7 new ones at the moment. I sort of expected to get a backlog of emails from yesterday, but something tells me those were all lost as "undeliverable". I don't know who or exactly what did the trick, but the issue seems to be fixed. I'm using my new Apple ID, and I'm glad I don't have to get all new iCloud alias email addresses after all. -
I changed my Apple ID to a new email address. Now I cannot get my Iphone and Ipad to recognize the new Apple ID ... and I cannot access the old Apple ID because it does not recognize its password any more ... and I cannot change the password ... and there seems to be no one to ask about this. Any help?
I tried but it won't let me even access the old Apple ID. It won't recoginze its old password and will not let me make a new one. (The site tells me it has sent an email to let me change the password but the email does not come.)

I seam to have two Apple accounts under one email address. Can I delete the old one? How do I do this?

Are you sure ? As far as I know an Apple ID can only be associated with one email address.
Go to My Apple ID and click Manage your account

Apple IDs cannot be deleted.
Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

I did not know my kids had set up an Itunes account for me with one user name and password. then i got an i phone and set it up with a different email address and new password. how can i get my accounts to merge so i can have all of my music on my iphone
Quote: "You cannot merge two or more Apple IDs into a single one. You can, however, use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). See “Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases” above for details." See also Apple ID & iCloud FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
You can set up your iCloud account on your iOS device under: "Settings > iCloud" and a other account for store purchases under "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Unfortunately merging accounts is not possible but you could transfer all of your music manually via iTunes from your Mac or PC.
