I cloud user name reset

I changed my apple id for the apple store on my i phone after my old email address was disabled after leaving my old job. unfortunately, my icloud account is still using the deleted address and I am unable to change to the new address. How do I fix this?

Welcome to the Apple community Jon.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • BT Cloud user name invalid

    Hello,
    When I tried to log onto BTCloud I got a prompt telling me that my user name was invalid so I clicked on the [ forgotten user name ] and my user name was sent to my [ btinternet.com ] address.
    I tried to log on again with the user name sent to me ( incidentally the same user name as I had originally used ) and again the prompt [ user name invalid ]. 
    Not one to give up easily, I entered my username and password again and this time a different screen telling me to try later as my info wasn't able to be verified.
    At the bottom of this screen there is a link to [ https://www.btcloud.bt.com ], I clicked this link and I was in !!!!  
    Has anyone else experienced this ??

  • TS3276 email was hacked, can open email on yahoo (after changing passwords) but cannot open mail on my computer, cannot even access mail because it will not accept my user name or password and I am unable to reset my account

    email was hijacked and spam/virus link sent out to all of my contacts on wed at 4:21AM..... with the Subject as Rep: My Name or My email address and a link to a web page discussing making money working at home.  Could not get into any of my mail, on the web or on Mail on my mac.  After a phone call to automated support through Yahoo through ATT, I was given a temporary password and was able to reset my Yahoo password and get email on the internet.  I still cannot open my Mail Account on either my iMac or MacBook Pro.  I cannot get into Mail, period.  My sign in keeps popping up and it keeps telling me that my user name or password is incorrect.  I tried my old password, the temporary password and the new password.  Nothing is working,  I cannot receive or send anything in Mail.  Mail is Frozen.  If I want my email, I must go to the web and sign into Yahoo Mail.
    Help!

    When you were entering your new password in mac mail for your Yahoo account, you didn't perchance change the user name from [email protected] to just name without the @att.net? I only ask because I've done that, and att.yahoo mail requires a fully qualified [email protected] for access.
    In mail, you might click on window on the menu bar, then connection doctor. On the account with the red dot next to it, it will tell you why it can't connect, and if you click on it, you'll be taken to where you can fix it. 

  • HT201342 How can I change the USER of my i-cloud address? My 12 year old set up the e-mail account and used a silly user name (like: turtle!!). I would like to have an icloud e-mail account but under my own user name. The other /old name can be deleted?

    How can I change the USER name of my i-cloud e-mail account? It was set up by my son and he used a silly / embarrassing user name. I would like to change this name OR set up another i-cloud e-mail account under my own name / reference. Help?

    iCloud email addresses can't be changed or deleted, but you can set up an alias namethat he can use which will be linked to his current iCloud account and will receive email in the existing iCould inbox.  This guide explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

  • When i double click on Mac HD the view has changed and my user name is no longer listed on the left. How can I reset this

    When i double click on Mac HD the view has changed and my user name is no longer listed on the left. How can I reset this?

    Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

  • Reset user name and password

    I bought a macbook air from best buy as an open item.  The previous owner must have set up a user name and password.  I try to download adobe but it wont let me bc of the previous username and password.  How do I master reset that.  Thank you

    I had a Genius Bar appointment on Saturday for one reason, and one reason only.
    I wanted buy a Lion thumbdrive for my mid 2011 MBA (which comes with Lion), and wanted to know for a fact that it would work on my unit. I had asked a question in the Apple online store Q&A, what version was being used on these Lion thumbdrives and was answered by a user that it was 11A511. Someone else in the Q&A's had asked whether it would work on the 2011 MBA's, and someone answered that it could. Whoever moderates those Q&A's had marked both answers as being correct. But in fact, the two answers completely contradict one another.
    So, I went to the Genius Bar to see if could find out the real answer.
    First, I asked if it would work. The Genius Bar technician first treated my question as irrelevant. He waned to contend that with the Recovery Partition, the disk was completely unnecesary, as one could simply repair any installation with their own drive. I countered with the scenario that I wanted the drive in case of a hardware failure that would leave the Recovery Partition damaged or non-existent, such as with a new drive. He countered with that I should then use the Recovery Assistant created "rescue drive", I could then download Lion and install it to a new SSD.
    I incisted that I wanted the drive to be something that would permit me to be completely self-sufficient, even without an internet connection.
    It was only then that he ceded to my request to find out if the build number was sufficient to use on my MBA. He both confirmed that it was build 11A511 (actually 11A511a), and that it was a build that DID NOT have the necessary components to work on either a mid 2011 MBA or a mid 2011 Mac Mini, as they require 11A2063 & 11A2062, respectively.
    I asked if he had any knowledge as to when Apple might revise the disk offering to a later build or even the now current 10.7.1, and he had no information on the subject (after he consulted with other store personnel).

    How did you change your user name?
    resetpassword wouldn't have done it. If you managed to create a new user, then your data is still in the old account.

  • How to reset your user name on apple support communities?

    If your dont remember your user name in the  Apple Support Communities, how can you reset it?

    Do you mean the ID you use as a login, rather than the name which appears here ('nunski')? Do you know what you last used to log in here? If not, go to Applications>Utilities>Keychain Access and see if it is listed under 'discussions.apple.com'
    Since it's difficult to stay logged in here for any length of time, you must presumably have logged in in the not too distant past?
    If Keychain doesn't help, go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Find Your Apple ID'.

    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.2 - earlier systems don't show the iCloud preference pane. If you want to use iCloud you will have to upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion (assuming your computer meets their requirements) but even so you won't be able to publish web pages to iCloud because it does not provide web hosting. This page examines that situation in more detail:
