I changed my email address for my Apple ID but my phone doesn't recognize my new email it keeps asking for my password for my old email

I changed my email address for my Apple ID. When I want to use iCloud my iPhone doesn't seem to recognize my new email it keeps asking for my password for my old email. I can't update the new address it keeps defaulting to my old one.

Hello TirEoghain,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
First I would like you to try the instructions below to sign out of your iCloud account, and then sign in with your new Apple ID.
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.
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
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.
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud

Take care,
Alex H.

HT201303 I tried to change my email address on the apple ID but now when I try to buy an app or film it still comes up with my old email address and won't accept my password to buy anything. My old email address is no longer in use and can not be access

I tried to change my email address ID , but now when I try to buy an app or music it still shows my old email address and won't accept my password which I did not change. What can I do as I can't download anything ?

What id shows in Settings > iTunes & App Store ? If it's the old one then tap on it and log out of it and then log in with the updated version

I have verified my new email address as my Apple ID but my IOS devices keep asking me to sign in to my previous email/Apple ID but have no access to it. How can I stop or change this?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your 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 can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, 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. 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 back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

HT204053 I've recently changed my email address and my apple ID but sometimes I'm still prompted to use my old apple ID and password which I don't use anymore. I can't seem to be able to delete my old Apple Id, any suggestions?

Please follow these steps in order to get it working properly again.
Please change your Apple ID back to your old email address (that you used as Apple ID before) here:http://appleid.apple.com
Then go to all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - ("Settings > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway)
After that go back to http://appleid.apple.com sign in again, and now change your Apple ID again to your new email address.
Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.
Now, everything should working properly again.

Why does the apps store not accept my ID and password, it works fine to log into this forum and it works for the apple store, but not to log in to buy apps, it just keeps telling me that the id or password is wrong, and I know it isn't

Why can't I change the alternate email address on my Apple ID account. It doesn't belong to anyone in my home?

I can't change my Apple ID alternate email address it's greyed out. Why?

If you have 'Find My iPad' activated on the iPad it will cause this problem. You will have to contact Support for help. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'More Products and Services', then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'.

Go to setting on the devices and change the information
Settings
iTunes and App Store
Account

Also settings

Same for everything else that uses your email address. Facebook, Twitter, iCloud, on and on.

I changed my Apple ID to a new email address. I cannot get my Iphone and Ipad to recognize the new Apple ID.

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.)

Yosemite keeps asking log in password for icloud

At each boot I am requested to submit password for i-cloud, which is not accepted even if it is correct, If I cancel the request twice everithig goes bacxk to normal. This is only on one of the three mac I use.

I have solved this problem which was driving me nuts !l In my case, it was because I had a while ago opted for "two step verification".
OSX now wants you to input an app specific password for Messenger, Facetime and other apps you may use like Fantastical or Day One.
clue is a LOGO on the box that pops up asking for the password ... not obvious I only gleaned this from another thread ... or try clicking on the text saying "password required for .... " and it might give you a clue.
You create the app specific password by going to the manage your ID section on your apple account under password and security.
NOTE TO APPLE. In the next update make the box say "XYZ App requires a specific password for [email protected] account" or similar
Hope that helps

I have changed my Apple ID so that it would reflect my new email address. My Apple devices and icloud info do not display my new ID, even though I use the new one to log into iTunes, etc. How can I get this problem resolved so that I might feel confident

After changing my Apple ID I do not seem to be able to recognize it as my proper ID. It does work properly for an iTunes login and password, but, it is not displayed that way on my device when I look at my iCloud settings and other "system level" settings.
How do I correct this to be confident that I can use a feature, such as "Find My iPhone" and know that the functions and contact info is correct?

To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.

TS3899 My new iphone 5s keeps telling me my password for my yahoo email is wrong, it's not. I deleted the account and tried to set it up again but it still says it wrong. How do I fix it?

My iphone keeps telling me my email password is wrong, how do I fix it?

I'm sorry you're having issues with your e-mail account on your phone Rusty1112. Let's figure out what's going on. First, please try deleting account/information again and then restart phone. When phone is back on, try adding e-mail account again, and be sure you're entering exactly as you set up, meaning its case-sensitive. If you're still getting same error, please let us know and let us know what e-mail account it is, Yahoo, AOL, MSN, etc.
Thank you,

I redeemed a $15 iTunes gift card, but iTunes won't let me download anything. It keeps asking to sign in for billing and I do, but it says security code is invalid on debit card, when it's not. Has anyone experienced this problem?

Hi. My name is Kim. I was wanting to know if anyone has gone through similar experience. I redeemed a iTunes gift card that was given to me. I'm told by iTunes store to sign in which I do, but then it takes me straight to billing I enter the correct three digit security code, then what happens it tells me invalid Cvv. Could someone please tell me this what does my debit card have to do with my having a redeemed ITunes card to use, and why doesn't let me download my music. I use a iPhone 3GS. Thanks

Hi Kim ...
Might not just be the security code > iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records
Apple "verifies" your billing credentials with every transaction.
what does my debit card have to do with my having a redeemed ITunes card
If the total purchase price of the media including any applicable taxes or fees exceeds the balance of the redeemed card, then the difference is charged to your debit or credit card account.
iTUNES STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS < re taxes and fees
You don't have to have a credit or debit account setup > Create an iTunes App Store account without a credit card

I changed email address, now my phone keeps asking me for my Apple ID password with the old email address as the username, I am still able to access everything I need to but it keeps popping up

I changed my email address, now I constantly get a pop-up asking me for my Apple ID Password, showing my old email address. I am able to access everything but it is annoying.

Try:
Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...now sign back in with your new ID.
