I changed my iTunes password on my device, but now I can't change it on iCloud

I had to change my apple id login and password on iTunes.  I was able to change it on iCloud on my iPhone 4S, but can not change it on my iPad.  My old login is on my iCloud on the iPad, but as I no longer remember my old password, the iPad won't even let me reset to factory setting.  Any idea what I can do?  It's frustrating have two devices that should work in together, not being able to communicate. 

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), 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 on your 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.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPad 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.

  • HT1495 I followed Method 3 to create a separate iTunes library for each device, and now I can't find my original iTunes

    I pressed held down shift when I opened iTunes to follow the method to create separate iTunes libraries, and now I cannot find my original iTunes. I am so frustrated.

    Does the original library file still exist on the computer?  Hopefully when creating the new library it was done in a seperate folder as I do not believe iTunes allows for two library files in the same location.

  • Just imported CD... And everything else on my iTunes, without meaning to. But now I can't see the album artwork on my iPod Touch!

    So what I was meaning to do is to import a CD that I wanted to have put on my iPod Touch. But I didn't realize that I was also importing all of my songs from my iTunes Library on my computer, which I already have on my iPod. So, after the sync was done, I opened up my music, on my iPod, to see if it had synced successfully. And sure enough, it was there, but almost all of my albums are now artless! It's really helpful for me to see the artwork, so that I know what songs are in that particular album, so it's really important that I have the artwork. My computer is a PC, and when I imported the CD, I used the AAC encoder, and used the iTunes Plus setting. Please help, and thank you!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • I'm not too sure what is wrong. I use to be able to watch my HD shows and movies on iTunes with my Macbook pro, but now I can't. Help?

    Yeah. Like the question states. I use to be able to watch my TV Shows and Movies in HD, but now it ain't working and I blame Maverick!!! UGH! LOL But anything helpful to suggest? That'd be awesome.

    I apologize for the confusion.  This was literally the only option on Apple's "Contact Us" section that I was able to access.  I assumed that Apple's clear intent to have me go here instead of speaking with someone in live time, and the fact this is on the Apple website, meant I could get some advice...  Both over the phone and online they require information I need to see my screen to provide so those are not options.  I tried to bypass this when calling through Skype.  Some lady who didn't know what was going on, who I waited a good while to speak with, put me on hold; I gave up after 30minutes of waiting to speak to somebody again.
    I've stumbled upon a few tricks to help me get through this problem, but I'm at a loss.  I need this phone to work until late December.  I need more tricks.  So yes, it's worth understanding.  Knowing what is going on will let me Google it and work with it, if nobody here is willing to help...
    And yes, it IS a glitchy phone.  It has been a glitchy phone for a long time.  Long before this. But completely unrelated issues.  I was assuming this wasn't just a glitch but something maybe somebody could help me understand.

  • TS4268 Wife changed over to HTC one from IPhone but now she can't receive my messages.  I have already turned off her I message on her iPad

    I have transferred my phone service to HTC one and now I cannot receive messages on my phone just on my iPad. 

    1. Messages on the iPad can only be sent to other iDevices and Mac Computers running Mountain Lion.
    2. They must also be registered with iMessage
    Note: The two above conditions must be met.

  • I changed my yahoo password on the computer, but my phone won't let me change it, so I don't get my e-mail.

    I've had to change my yahoo password on the computer, but now my stupid phone won't receive my mail.  And it won't accept the NEW password that I know to be correct.  Any advice?  I hate this phone!

        Let's bring the love back for your phone, clovercat.
    I had the same problem when I had my Fascinate.
    The best way to get the password changed and to receive emails is to delete http://vz.to/ZVexiW the email account and readd http://vz.to/15pw16c it to the phone.
    This should get the emails flowing in for you.

  • I changed my itunes password only and now I can't update any of the apps I downloaded using the old password. I tried signing in with the old password with no luck. Can someone help please?

    Have you signed out of your iTunes account on the device/computer that you are using and signed back in with the updated password ? That should 'refresh' the account on it, and you should be able to use the account's new password to download updates to its apps

  • Changed my iTunes password, not iMessage wont send or receive SMS

    Hi! Like the title says, I had to change my iTunes password and now iMessage on my macbook wont send or receive SMS messages when it did previously.  I have enabled messaging and FaceTime.  I've restarted all devices (iphone5s, iPad mini, and MacBook Pro) and updated iCloud and all passwords.  Everything else appears to have connected smoothly, except for this.   Any ideas how I can fix this? 
    Thanks in advance!

    I tried to post in a few others and kept getting this message.

  • HT5622 I had to change my iTunes password. Now, when I try to download a song, it repeatedly asks me for my password. This is frustrating! Can anyone tell me what I can do about this??

    I had to change my iTunes password. Now, when I try to buy a song, it repeatedly asks me for the password and doesn't seem to register it and go to the next step. It's becoming very frustrating. And, equally, if not more frustrating, is the fact that there is no simple way to contact Apple to find out how to fix the problem. I hope someone here has the solution.
    Thank you!

    After you changed the PW did you go to Settings>iTunes and App stores and sign out and sign back in?

  • I need to change my iTune Password and in order to do so I need to know my security question. Obvioulsy I forgot but it does not give me any options to remmber or get to some point to change my password

    I am not sure if I am in the communit I need to but I need to change my iTunes password and when I try it ask me for security qestions that I obviously forgot...and it does not let me proceed....help

    Hey neener64,
    If you can't remember your security questions and answers, the optional rescue email provides a way to reset them. You can read more about that here:
    Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you did not provide a rescue email address, you can't reset your security questions and you'll need to contact iTunes Store support to have them reset.
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    All the best,

  • I changed my iTunes password and now I can't download previous purchases

    I changed my iTunes password (but kept the same username), and now I can't re-download any songs that I purchased BEFORE changing the password.
    When I follow the steps in the Apple support pages on how to re-download previously purchased songs, I am taken to my "Purchased" page in the iTunes store, but the songs I purchased before the password change don't show at all.  Only the songs that I purchased after changing the password appear. 
    When I search for one of the older songs in the iTunes store, the menu bar to the right of the song says "purchased," confirming that I did indeed purchase the item.  But again, I can't download it.
    Again, I did not change my AppleID, only my password.
    Does anyone know a fix for this?  Thanks.

    Hi hyperslam,
    Are you certain that you are looking at "Purchased" here:
    And not here:
    You want to look for your Purchased items under QUICK LINKS not under the "Store" heading in the sidebar!
