I had to change my apple id but the icloud account still has the old one. How can i change it.

My apple id was cancelled by apple due to a problem and they suggested me to make a new apple id with a different email adress. Thats what i did, the proble is that the i cloud has the old apple id and i was trying to change it but i cant and the iphone keeps asking me to put de password on the old apple id wich is no longer in use
The second problem is that when i was trying to change that, something happened and all my contacts were erased!
I still have them on my ipad, but i dont know what to do, is all a mess with my devices!
Can somebody help me please?

With iOS 7 you will have to provide the password for the old ID in order to delete the existing account from your iPad.  If you can't do this, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Produces & Services>Apple ID>iTunes Store, App Store or Mac App Store>Disabled Apple ID.
As far as your missing contacts, when you get the password for the old ID reset, sign in with the ID and your new password at icloud.com and check to see if your contacts are there.  If they are, export them as a vCard as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606.  You can then import this vCard to your new account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605.

  • My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.

    My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.  My password doesn't work with the old email address.  When I look for my old email address in the Apple ID support area it says that the ID doesn't exist.  Help!!!

    You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials.  This deletes the account and your synced data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

    Hi foxie-d,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.
    iCloud: If email shows the wrong time
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2644
    When you send or receive email, the time it was sent or received appears in the email header (the information at the top of the email). If the time shown in your email header is incorrect, you need to change the time zone setting for your iCloud account.
    Change the time zone on iCloud.com
    Click your account name, then choose Account Settings.
    Click Time Zone, then click a time zone on the map.
    You can also click the time zone name below the map, then choose a time zone from the pop-up menu.
    Click Done.
    You need to log out of iCloud, then log back in to see the changed time zone in iCloud Mail.
    Happy New Year!

  • My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?

    I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.

    In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
    I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
    You'd need to add an account here:

  • HT1766 Apparently the iCloud password on my iPhone is incorrect, how can I change it?

    Apparently the iCloud password on my iPhone is incorrect, how can I change it?

    Hi Francessco,
    If the password saved for iCloud on you iPhone is incorrect, but you know the correct password (for example, you can log in to your account at iCloud.com), you may need to update the saved password on the device. You may find the following article helpful:

  • HT4759 I have changed my Apple id but my icloud account on my iphone 3gs wont let me change my apple id. How can I sort this?

    I have changed my Apple id & password but I cannot change my icloud id on my iphone as it wont let me edit the id. I can edit the password but I can't log in with theprevious unchangeable id. Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

  • My iCloud account password expires every three months, how can I change this?

    Hi!
    For a long while ago, that every three months my iCloud password expires. This indeed could be a nice security feature, but I don't find any settings to change it back. I guess there is no way, for me, to change this setting, could support do that for me?

    I don't think there is an expiration, since I still use my password I set up some time ago; however Apple's servers that are responsible for security, reacts to any suspicious activity on your account and requests reset, e.g. if you purchase a new app while on vacationing in another country or your kids playing on your Mac and trying to enter an incorrect password, which I'm thinking both instances would trigger a security flag on your account.  You may want to call Apple and speak with them concerning this to see if that might help.

    Hello scottyme1,
    In order to sign out of your iCloud account that had a ID change, you would need to change the account back to the original. The reason for that is probably due to the Find my device feature and it needs to verify and if that iCloud account does not exist because of the name change and you cannot sign out. Changing it back is pretty easy and should not ask you to verify but once you change it and sign out, you can change it back to what you want it to be. Take a look at the article below to walk you through this.

  • HT5622 valid apple id but not icloud account.  I tried downloading on a different computer and logging in and it did not work.  I have restarted my computer several times.  I have changed my password several times.  I have tried to access the icloud page.

    repeating error message reads: "valid apple id but not icloud account." when trying to start my icloud account.  I tried downloading on a different computer and logging in and it did not work.  I have restarted my computer several times.  I have changed my password several times.  I have tried to access the icloud page.  Nothing has worked.  Now I have this stupid app and some of my music is still not being shared on both of my computers.

    I have the same problem signing in...but, I finally got a screen saying you have to set up a account on a device..like an ipad to get a iCloud sign in ...my apple id is [email protected]   and this screen reset to [email protected]
    If you don't have an apple device you may be out of luck.  I don't know.  I'm still waiting for help just as you are...good luck to both of us though.

    If the iPhone came from the US, then that is the only place where Apple will service it. If you can't take it there yourself, you would need to send the iPhone to someone you know in the US who could get it serviced and then send it back to you.
    Your only other option will be to find some unauthorized cellphone repair shop to attempt a repair, after which all further support from Apple, in the US or anywhere else, will no longer be available to you.
