I had to change apple id....how come icloud didn't change automatically?

Hello....looking for some help....I had to change my apple ID due to an email address being closed.  So changed, not a problem...but I had forgotten about iCloud, and just assumed it would change automatically to my new apple ID, but it hasn't.  And when I try to log in I unfortunately have forgotten that password, so I can't get a reset sent to that email address as it no longer exists.  And if I choose another way apparently I have forgotten when my birthday is too (lol).  And when on iCloud on my phone I can't change my apple ID....how can I fix this?? 

If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current 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 iDevice, 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 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.

  • I changed my Apple ID but my iCloud didn't change to the new ID. If I delete the old iCloud will I lose all data on my iPod ?

    I changed my Apple ID but my iCloud didn't change to the new ID. If I delete the old iCloud will I lose all data on my iPod ?

    - Go to Settings>iCloud. Scroll to to bottom of the screen and tap the delete button. The effect all the services listed in Settings>iCloud like Notes, Contact and Calendar.
    - You may be offered the option to retain that data on the iPod. Otherwise it gets deleted.
    It does not effect synced media like apps and music purchased with the account..
    Note that purchases made with an Apple ID are locked to the ID that purchased them. To update apps you have to sing into the account that purchased them

  • I have just down loaded a movie on my itune using my new ipad. i have also bought and apple tv how come i cant play the movie from my ipad through the apple tv? i tried syncing the ipad to my comp and playing the movie that way but once in my itunes no mo

    I've downloaded a movie on my ipad and I've hooked up my apple tv.  Why can't i whatch the movie from my ipad through my apple tv?  I tried synching my ipad to see if, when synched, I would see the movie on my computer in itunes.  No luck there.  What am I doing wrong?  Why is it showing in my itunes on my ipad but the movie has disappeared when I look at my itunes on my computer so that I can watch it via Apple TV?

    If you rented it directly on the Apple TV then you can't transfer it off and you have it watch it on that - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
    You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.

  • HT5622 I have a new apple ID how come the App Store still has the old one when verifying a purchase?

    How can I fix this. It won't let me update any apps. I recently changed in the iPod but the old one still appears only when asked to verify a purchase

    - Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • HT5012 I have a question about my apple laptop  how come it won't download google chrome to my laptop because I just got recently got it fix

    I'm having trouble with my laptop like for the update & download Google Chrome

    If you have had this problem while booted ino recovery mode, it's not a Spotlight issue. If your hard drive is failing, that could cause the problems you describe. Do you have good backups? If not, your first order of business needs to be backing up all data that you don't want to lose. Once you have done that, you can start troubleshooting.
    Regarding troubleshooting, you can check the SMART status of your hard drive in Disk Utility, but it's important to note that failing hard drives can easily have "verified" SMART status.
    It would also be worth repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility. If the hard drive is actually failing, though, repairing won't do squat... the drive will have to be replaced.
    Your problems involving Spotlight could also have been caused by a corrupt Spotlight index. Since you added the entire hard drive to the Privacy pane, removing it will cause Spotlight to completely rebuild the index, which would solve that problem... if that were the problem.
    Also, you mention that your machine is "clean, virus-free, spyware-free," which suggests that you may have been using cleaning utilities and anti-virus software. Regarding the former, that's a bad idea - see The myth of the dirty Mac. As for anti-virus software, what software are you using? Some anti-virus software is good, while others can bring your Mac to its knees.

  • How come icloud isn't updating my old pictures and apps to my new phone?

    I got a new iphone5 and i had icloud on my previous iphone4. When i backed up icloud on my iphone5, only the contacts came. How do i get my pictures from my iphone4 to my iphone5?

    Did you restore the iCloud backup of your iPhone 4 to your iPhone 5?  That woud transfer your camera roll, settings, app data, text messages, apps and other purchased media, etc. to the iPhone 5.

  • HT4864 How come when I use the automate iCloud setup, does the incoming mail server have a different address then specified by these instructions?

    The IMAP sever that automatically set up is p08-imap.mail.me.com?

    So I guess using Apple Token for authenication is OK, instead of the prescibed Name and Password per the http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864?

  • I have the iCloud in my iPod touch and macbook pro but how come the music i purchased from iTunes doesn't appear in my other device?

    i upgraded my macbook pro with the new Mac OS Lion and downloaded the IOS 5 with the icloud, then did the same with my ipod touch.  So when I purchased a song from itunes using my ipod touch, how come it didn't appear in my laptop?

    Did you restore the iPod using this iTunes library/computer?
    Make sure that yo have the right boxes checked to sync the media
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    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 all music and resync
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • How do I get my messages to come through on my ipad Via my mobile number? They always used to but I've had to change all my Apple ID if that has anything to do with it? In iMessages it will only take an email address!

  • After my company changed the e-mail address, I had to change my Apple-ID. How do I update my purchased Apps after the change?

    The renamed Apple ID does not update all the Apps but comes up with the old AppleID, but that ID is not there anymore and neither the old or the new password is working
    On the FAQ pages I just find a long list of Apps, stores tc. that I have to update, but no explanation on how to do that.
    I do not want to buy all the apps again just because I had to change the e-mail address and because of that the AppleID.
    It is ok to remove the free ones and load them again, but the paid one?
    How is Apple handling such things?

    OK, after reading other and similar threads too, I found a solution myself.
    Thought to share it.
    On my iPhone, after the change was made at the AppleID site, I had to logoff from the old AppleID and then to relogon with the new/changed one. After that I could update all apps again

  • Had to change my Apple ID because the original email address is no longer valid.  How do I change the iCloud user name on iMac?  I found instructions about signing out of iCloud and signing back end.  It asks questions about contact, etc.

    Had to change Apple ID due to email address no longer valid.  Trying to change id for icloud...saw direction online about signing out of icloud and signing back in...when it ask questions about contacts, photos, etc. being deleted how do I answer those?  That just sort of freaks me out.

    For the ones that give you an option, select the option you want (keep on the Mac or Delete). For the ones that are simply warning you, click on Delete from Mac.
    They will all come back when you sign back on, since all you did was change your existing Apple ID to a new email address. It's the same iCloud account, just with a different name.
    It's the only way to get your updated ID signed onto iCloud.

  • I had to change my apple ID now how do I update icloud without deleting all cloud data on the computer?

    My provider is terminating email service so I had to change my apple ID.  I did that in iTunes but now my icloud on my PC wants me to sign in under my old id, I don't see a way to update to the new ID without deleting all cloud data on the PC.  Is there another way so I don't have to resync everything from the cloud?

    Check the list in the link below, how to change all services, after you changed your Apple ID:
    What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071
    In particular, for iCloud:
    Update your Apple ID or password on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, and Apple TV.
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
    Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you're signed out, enter your updated Apple ID or password. The data in iCloud will automatically appear on your device after you sign in.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    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. You might need to enter your password. Your data will remain in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter your updated Apple ID or password.
