I have changed my ID and password on iCloud but cannot change it on my iPad as it is greyed out.

I changed my Apple ID rand password today on the apple website. I have backed my iPad up to iCloud but when I look in settings it is still showing my old ID and password. I have tried to update it but it is greyed out. How do I change the information on my iPad. Also the App Store doesn't recognise my new password and it keeps asking me to sign in.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
You may find when you do this that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this happens, and if your old ID 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 on your device, 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.
If you're having trouble with the App store, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in.

Icloud still shows my old email address when I try to enter, asking me for a password I no longer have. I need to change my email address and password in ICLOUD but I can't find a way to do it. Any ideas? Thanks.

Logout (System Preferences>iCloud) then login with the new address and password.

aI have a new email and password for my Icloud account and have a HP Pavillon laptop. Cnt sign into Icloud/ It says connection error! I had Icloud on my HP Pavillon before.

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

TS3988 I have updated my sign in name and password on iCloud, but on my iOS it still shows the old information

Any one knows how to resolve this issue? Thank you!

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

I can't update my apps because Apple User ID has been disables? changed user ID and password for Mac but can't seem to find way to change phone logon?

I can't update the apps on my iphone because user ID defaults to [email protected] and that user ID has been disabled. Can you tell me how to change user ID for apple on my phone?

did your purchased that apps using that email address or apple id? if the answer is yes, you need to contact iTunes to re-enable your apple id.
If not, you can change the sign in account by going to settings>store

HT1904 I have recently bought my 6 year old an iPod touch I have set an email and password for it but wen we try to download free apps in the app store we have to go through verification and then it says that there is a minimum age restriction and disall

When trying to download free apps it says there is a minimum age resriction and disallows

The apps are getting the age of your 6-year old from the Apple ID. I am not sure if there is anything you can do about it.

I have 18.1GB of storage availble in iCloud but is being told that my iPad cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. Why?

Why am I being told that my iPad cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available when I have 18.1GB of storage available in my iCloud account?

You shouldn't be, but you would have to contact Apple support to find out what the issue is: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/. If you are outside of your free support window there would normally be a charge for the call but under the circumstances you could plead your case that you should not be charged.

I have changed the name and password for my Time Capsule and now the Time Machine will not connect

Mac Book Pro
1TB Time Capsule.
Yesterday I changed the name and password on my time capsule and also the name and password of the wifi network as I was having problems with the speed of the internet when using Safari on any of my devices (1 Macbook pro, 1 macbook air, 27" iMac, iPhone and iPad) all other internet services were working fine (email etc.) This seems to have solved the problem.
However, since then, my time machine back ups will not reconnect and there is no option for me to reconnect to the existing back up for my macbook pro.
When I enter the time machine preferences it shows as below that there are no back ups.
Then, when I go to select a drive to use which should be the MacBook under the Backup disks the only option is for me to Remove Disk...
So, my question is, how do I reconnect to an existing Time Machine back up for my MacBook pro as I really do not want to erase and start all over again.
Warning - In my naiveté, I did click on the MacBook in 'Available Disks' but I got the impression that it was about to start a whole new back up and not work with the existing one.
(And does anybody have an inkling as to why there was a problem with Safari on all my devices? I downloaded Google Chrome and that worked fine).

Simply reset the Time Machine.
See A4 here http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
You can then mount the TC disk in finder after you reboot the computer.
You should be able to reselect the TC disk and then it will say it is going to start a new backup.
Ignore this.. when the TM actually loads the TC disk it will discover the existing backup and continue the backup.. but it will give no hint until it actually starts that it won't start a new backup. you just have to believe it won't.. and mostly it works..
Please also install the widget A1 so you have some idea what TM is doing.

Apps are permanently tied to the ID and password used to purchase them. If you do not remember that information, you cannot update them. If you ned these apps, you will have to repurchase them under your new ID.

I recently had to have a migration done. Since then I keep getting a message on my calendar: "The server responded with an error." Its been asking me to check my ID and password, which I did not change. What do I do to correct the problem?

That's probably the MobileMe or iCloud password.
Go to System Preferences > Mobile Me (or iCloud). If you're not logged-in, do so. If you are, log out and back in again.

HT5622 I have changed my appleID and password through my laptop. I have then changed it on my iPod Touch in settings. When I try to update my apps on the ipod touch it keeps throwing up the old appleID. How can I get the iPod Touch to use the new ID?

I have changed my appleID and password through my laptop. I have then changed them in my iPod touch settings in "iTunes & App stores" When I try to update my apps it fails because it wishes to continue to use the previous ID. What do I have to do to make it accept the new ID?

Also
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.

I have changed my username and password but the apps are still asking for my old username and password. How do I change that

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that account. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that same account. Now I can't seem to login to that account and I can't choose the option for forgot password because it will send email to the old workplace. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!
