I recently changed my apple id email from an old one to a new one and now I can't sign out of my old one on my iPhone 5 because it says I need a password. I cannot give that password because it is part of the old apple ID. How do I change IDs?
Hi sharonpalencia,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand it can be very frustrating when you cannot sign in, or sign out in this case, to your Apple ID. In this situation you may need to temporarily edit your Apple ID back to the original email address so that you can sign out. Once signed out, edit the Apple ID back to the new email address and sign in. Please use the attached article for further information.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, 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.
If you're still asked for your previous Apple ID password, continue to the next step.
Have a great day,

I probably misclicked when I activated the security lock on the iPhone and now I can not figure out what password I entered. Moreover, I have patches and funky looking phone so I can not restore iphine pres itunes. Please advice.
Your only recourse is to force it into DFU mode:
Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings. -
I updated iTunes on my computer and now I can't figure out how to put songs on my iPod
Before I could just hit the "On this ipod" or whatever it was button, and do the whole drag and drop thing and it was all good. But now that button is gone and I don't know what I'm supposed to do. help?!
IUf iTunes sees the iPod:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Syncing overview
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
or
iTunes 11 for Mac: Syncing overview
iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
If iTunes does not see the iPod:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

I have already set up and Itunes account, but it says that i need to reveiw the account. I guess i have not finished setting it up yet. But when i go into the payment information it says that i need to fill out the type of credit/debit card that i have. Well, i don't have one! How do i put that i have 'none?' it doesnt even have a 'none' button. PLLEEAAASseeee help me!!! Please:)
If the amount of the purchase is close to $21.07, then you need to take into account taxes may be added.
If you go beyond the credit from a gift card the balance will be billed to your credit card account. -
I've lost my iPod so bought a new one and now I can't transfer my old purchased songs
I've purchased my new iPod and it won't let me move my old purchased songs from my iTunes to my new iPod. Is there anyway of getting around this or will I have to repurchase them? Thank you
If when you connect the iPod to your computer iTunes does not see the iPod then to get data off the iPod you need to go to a Data Recovery company. Not cheap.
However,
- If they are in an iPod backup (those in the iPod's Saved Photos/Camera Roll album are) then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:
Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer -
i didnt make a rescue email address straight away and now i cant figure out how to make one
There are instructions for how to do edit or delete it (and you can add one via the same process) half-way down the page that you posted from :
You can edit or delete your rescue email address using the Apple ID website. To edit your rescue email address:
Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field. -

I would like to transfer my music library, including playlists, from my old iphone to my new iphone.
Connect the new phone to the computer and iTunes, then sync your library. I'm guessing that you have been syncing the old phone in the past, which would keep your library updated.

Updated my Iphone 4s to the new IOS and now i can't restart or recover it. as soon as it starts recoring, the status bar fades and the connect to itunes screen appears. WHAT THE HEY!? I'm SICK of UPDATE ISSUES!!!!!!
Yes, yes, yes... I've gone through all the common sense trouble shoots. Would't be here asking questions if that answers existed on the net. Sorry if I sound a bit edgey, but I've had nothing but issues with every update since IOS 7. Clearly there's nothing that can be done about this. and this is the final nail in the coffin to try to make me buy an Iphone 5.

I backed up my ipad to the cloud as it had a broken screen so I swaped it out for a new one and now I cant restore because the new Ipad has IOS 6 and my back up is 6.1! This is what I get for buying an Ipad twice in a week because of a broken screen? $500 the first buy and then another $299 plus tax for the swaped out one that I can't restore with my backup data.
I assume that you will have to set up as new since it will not let you restore from the backup. Then after you set it up, you can restore from the iCloud backup. The backup should not disappear be use you are setting this device up as new. Your backup should still be in iCloud.
However, after you activate the iPd and update the software, you will have to erase the device in order to restore from the Cloud backup, that is the only way to get to the iCloud backup.
Copied from the article that linked you to this discussion ....
Resolution
Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.
