Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
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.
Cheers,
Joe

  • I just updated my Iphone and now I've lost all my notes!! How do I get them back?

    I just updated my iphone 4s and now all my notes are gone!!  I've been on the phone w/apple for about 2 hours and they are useless!!  I've been trying to restore my phone to get the old notes back but to no avail.
    Please help!

    I lost my contacts too after upgrading. The numbers remained under recent calls and messages, but there was nothing in my contacts list. If you synced to the iCloud, you can retrieve your contacts by turning off syncing contacts to the cloud… save the (nonexistent) contacts on the phone. Then turn syncing to the cloud back on. It worked for me… they all returned and repopulated the names to the messages and recent calls.

  • I switched my phone to store data on icloud and then switched back to store on computer and now I have lost quite alot of my notes - how do I get them back? help!

    I can't get them back

    What kind of data are you referring to?  And when you say "switched .. to store data on icloud..." are you talking about performing backups to icloud vs. to computer or are you in some app that provides a choice of saving data to icloud or to a computer?

  • Updated to mavericks and now my RSS feeds are gone from Mail. How do I get them back?

    Where are my RSS feeds?

    You can't get back your RSS feeds. OS X Mountain Lion removed RSS compatibility from Safari and Mail, so you can't use RSS with these applications.
    Now, if you want to use RSS feeds, you need to use an app like NetNewsWire. There are also other applications

    Hello!
    On all of these devices, go to: Settings > iCloud and make sure they're updated with the new password. If you're talking about Macs, go to: "System Preferences > iCloud" too.

  • TS3274 I play candy crush both on my IPad and my samsung android, how do I synch them so they both show the same results?

    I play candy crush both on my IPad and my samsung android, how do I synch them so they both show the same results?

    We went through the same drill.
    First, decide which computer you are going to use.  One or the other.  You can't have it both ways.
    Then plug in the 'foreign' device.   Do not let it sync.  Yet. 
    Give this device a new name in the left pane in I tunes so that you all know which device is which.  You will need to authorise the computer to the new I tunes account.  You will need to transfer any purchases to that computer.  You will need to upload any photos to the photo library.
    Then sync.   Each time you plug it, it will remember the specific device, the old on, or the foreign one, and bring up its own particular arrangement as a starting point.
    You will find that by checking the boxes, you can share apps, and music.   But when you go to do updates, if you are mingling apps, each user will need to know the apple password to get updates.
    We found it to be a little confusing, but once you get used to it, using the same I tunes for 2 different accounts works ok.
    Before you do anything, please make a full backup ofmthe original device.  If something gets out of hand, you can always revert back to where your were.

  • I purchased a song on my iMac on iTunes and it plays on that but won't play on my macbook even though both computers are authorized under the same iTunes account.  how do I fix this?

    I purchased a song on my iMac on iTunes and it plays on that but won't play on my macbook even though both computers are authorized under the same iTunes account.  It says that i have to authorize my macbook and sign into iTunes, but then says its already authorized.  How do I fix this?

    Hi stuartbonk,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  Here are some steps you can try if you keep getting asked to authorize your MacBook for iTunes:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203160
    If you authorize your computer to play your iTunes Store purchases, but you can't play them and iTunes keeps prompting you to authorize, try these suggestions.
    Authorize your purchases from an administrator account
    To authorize your purchases from an administrator account, follow these steps:
    Log in to the administrator account.
    Note: If you don't have access to an administrator password, you'll need to contact the administrator of this computer. If this is a work computer, this may be your IT department.
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed. You can download the latest version free.
    Choose Store > Authorize Computer.
    Enter your iTunes account name and password.
    Note: If you have multiple accounts, you'll need to log in to the iTunes Store and authorize each account separately.
    Quit iTunes.
    After you've authorized your computer on your administrator account, you'll need to log out and log back in to the user account you'd like to play your purchases from. Once you're logged back in, simply open iTunes, select an iTunes Store purchase in your library, and click Play. The item should begin to play.Authorize using the correct account name
    The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
    Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
    Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
    If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
    If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.Remove the SC Info folderIf you're still unable to authorize your computer to play your purchases, you may be able to resolve your issue by removing the "SC Info" folder. To do so, follow these steps:
    OS X
    Quit iTunes and any other open applications until only Finder is open.
    Choose Go > Go to Folder.
    Type /Users/Shared/SC Info and click Go.
    If Finder is not already set to column view, set it by choosing View > as Columns.
    Select the SC Info folder and move it to the Trash by choosing File > Move to Trash.
    Restart the computer and open iTunes.
    Authorize your computer to play your purchases. Note: If you have multiple accounts you'll need to authorize your computer for each account. For more information on how to authorize your computer, see this article.

  • I have changed my Apple ID on my iPad, but my iPhone keeps popping up with the old ID.....how do I get all my devices to use the same ID?

    How can I get all my devices to use the same Apple ID?

    Different services on your iOS device (iMessage, Facetime, iCloud, iTunes and App Store) can be signed into with an Apple ID of your choice. Make sure you verify the settings for each device and that you are signed in to each service with the correct Apple ID.
    I'll do an example for iMessage:
    1) Go to settings on your iOS device
    2) Select "Messages"
    3) Select "Send & Receive"
    4) At the very top you will see "Apple ID", by selecting your Apple ID, you will now have the option to sign out of messages with the current Apple ID, and sign in with the new one.
    The steps for changing your Apple ID for other services will be very similar.

  • I just lost all my contacts on the ipod2 ...how do I get them back? They just disappeared while I was typing in a new contact.

    I just lost all my contacts on the ipod2 ...how do I get them back? They just disappeared while I was typing in a new contact.  Help!!

    joephilipose,
    If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
    You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iCal/3.0/en/9889.html
