I changed my apple ID, but it won't let me change the ID for icloud on my iPhone. How do I change it?
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 phone, 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 phone when you sign back in.

I got an iPad mini from a friend who is now passed away and I'm trying to activate it using my Apple ID but it won't let me because I have to contact the previous owner, what do I do!?
Take it, the original purchase receipt, and the friend's death certificate to a physical Apple Store and see what they say.

I changed my Apple ID at the Apple website but it won't let me change it on my iPhone 5 (gMail, iCloud) and syncing doesn't help.
On your iPhone...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

I am trying to buy a song on iTunes but it won't let me because I need to answer my security questions? But I don't remember the answers how can I change the questions?
Click here and search the article for '2 out of 3' without the quotes; this generally involves either a message being sent to your rescue email address or contacting the iTunes Store staff directly.

I just found my old ipod touch (i think 1st generation) and would like to let my toddler use it instead of my phone. I am trying to download apps but it say I need to update to 4.3 but it won't let me update. I have the most recent itunes. any idea why? I saw a thread saying to purchase the newest software (that was posted a few years ago) I paid 4.95 for the software and it's still saying it can't be updated. Am I just SOL??
The 1G iPod can only go as high as 3.1.3. The 1G does not have an internal speaker or volume buttons on the upper left edge.
Identifying iPod models
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version. -

I had to create a new Apple ID but it won't let me update apps it keeps showing my old account how do I stop that from happening
Apps are always associated with the AppleID that purchased them, you cannot use another AppleID with them,
So in order to update them you must use the credentials that were used to purchase them.
You can chnge the details (Name and Primary email) for an AppleID instead of creating a new one.

I am trying to active my iPhone but it won't let me because i don't have a sims card
I am trying to active my iPhone but it won't let me because i don't have a sims card. I just want to use my old iPhone 4 as an iPod.
You could ask a friend that has a SIM-Card or stop by an Apple Store. They may be able to help you. The card is only required for a few seconds, until the device is activated. Then you can take it out and give it back.

my phone broke. i just got a new one. i am trying to backup my old one, but it won't let me because it has a password on it. is there anyway i can go thru this?
If you are using the computer that you normally backup and sync with, it shouldn't be asking for a passcode. If you are not, then you would need to enter it, and I understand that you cannot. There is no way around this requirement, so your only alternative is to use the last backup that you made of the device. Hopefully it wasn't that long ago.

iCloud asked me to reenter my password to get mail and when I did, it rejected my password. I'm trying to reenter in mail account information, but it won't let me because the incoming mail server field is blank, but I can't enter anything into that field.
No, didn't have to sign out. As I started to, got a messge saying something about losing all my calendar information, which unnerved me so I didn't sign out. It was correcting the password in another email account that corrected the situation for me.

Forcing program to close, I am deleting a lot of files from my trash but it stopped working about 1/2 way through (1650 files left) so I tried to reboot but it won't let me because a the program is still running which I can't close (stuck at 1650 files to go). So it allowed me to click cancel now it says "stopping" for 3hrs now. Is there anyway to force the MacBook Air (new model) to close as you can't remove the battery?
Press and hold the power button until the Mac turns itself off. This force-shutdown should be done only after you've exhausted other options (you seem to have done so).
Wait at least 60 seconds.
Then press the power button to start up the Mac. It will take a little longer to start up because it will perform additional self-tests on the first boot after a forced shutdown.
Once the bootup is complete, you should be able to delete the trash. Hold down the option key while choosing to empty the trash, which will automatically delete "locked" items. -
I have a new email address and want to change my Apple ID which I did manage to do but it won't let me change my iCloud email address. How do I do this because every time I open up my phone or ipad I get a message asking me to log in to iCloud. Had to change my email address for Apple ID back to old one to stop this happening. Need to get them changed as no longer using old email.
Thank you for any advice.You need to log out of iCloud on all your devices, and before doing this you must turn off 'Find My iPhone/iMac/iPad' if it's enabled anywhere. Then change your ID, and then sign back in with the new ID on the devices.

My sister changed her iPod password but it won't let her in, what should we do?
She changed her password and she can definitely remember what she changed it to, but it won't let her in. It's been disabled for 60 minutes and we have no clue what to do when it's finally enabled. What can we do without disabling it even longer?
