  • I have verified my new email address as my Apple ID but my IOS devices keep asking me to sign in to my previous email/Apple ID but have no access to it.  How can I stop or change this?

    I have verified my new email address as my Apple ID but my IOS devices keep asking me to sign in to my previous email/Apple ID but have no access to it.  How can I stop or change this?

    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.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going 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.  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 back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Good day ESL1016,
    If you change the email address associated with your Apple ID there are a number of places that have settings that need to be changed. One is in the Messages application. This article explains how to make those changes -
    What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support
    Look for the section titled Messages and under it Mac with OS X Mountain Lion or later. 
    Open the Messages app, select Messages > Preferences, then click the Accounts icon.
    If you're signed out, click Accounts and sign in with your updated Apple ID or password.
    If you're signed in with your previous Apple ID, click Accounts, then select your Apple ID from the list of accounts. Click Sign Out, then click Sign Out again when asked to confirm. Sign in with your updated Apple ID or password.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Safe computing,

  • I am trying to redeem my itune prepaid card and the system request the security question's answer which i have forgot. im trying to retrieve it through my yahoo email address which i set earlier but i do not receive any email from apple support.

    -If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com.  Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE:  This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
    -If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address.  Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security.  You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

  • HT204053 I've recently changed my email address and my apple ID but sometimes I'm still prompted to use my old apple ID and password which I don't use anymore. I can't seem to be able to delete my old Apple Id, any suggestions?

    I've recently changed my email address and my apple ID but sometimes I'm still prompted to use my old apple ID and password which I don't use anymore. I can't seem to be able to delete my old Apple Id, any suggestions?

    Please follow these steps in order to get it working properly again.
    Please change your Apple ID back to your old email address (that you used as Apple ID before) here:http://appleid.apple.com
    Then go to all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - ("Settings > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway)
    After that go back to http://appleid.apple.com sign in again, and now change your Apple ID again to your new email address.
    Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.
    Now, everything should working properly again.

  • Can I change my email address and password on itunes but still open it with the old email and password since my husband has and uses the other email account?

    Purchased iphone years ago using our only email address and recently this year my husband finally decided to get the iphone 4 using our email with no intentions on syncing it to computer.  In July I purchased the iphone4 and just recently installed the upgrade ios5 and since then decided to get my own email address but all my devices and itunes account is under our email address and not my new address.  Now he decides to upgrade his phone to ios5 and now we get each others new apps, music and if we get texted though imessage. I assume this is because we have the same email and password account.
    How can i change the itune account to my new e-mail address, but my husband keep the same itunes login all on one itune account? or is this possible?

    If you change the primary email, you must use that one to login in with, as the primary email IS your AppleID.
    If you go to https://appleid.apple.com you can login and change your information for your AppleID account, but you will  see that the AppleID = primary email address.  So, no, there is no way to change that, and still have your husband log in with the old AppleID/email.
    Your husband can still use your AppleID after you change the email addres, just using that new email and password (ie. you can both still use the same AppleID, but it now will defacto be your new email address).
    Or, if it is just a means to avoid the collisions of iMessage texts, just have your husband create his own AppleID just for use with iMessage.  You can still both use your AppleID for the iTunes and App stores, but in the iMessage settings, he can use his own AppleID instead of yours.
    In short - you can each have multiple AppleIDs, and you do not have to use the same AppleID for both purchases, syncing and so forth AND iMessage - iMessage settings can use a different AppleID from the other things.

  • HT4436 If someone else has set up an ICloud account (that uses his name in the email address) using my Apple ID, do I have to change my Apple ID to open an account with my name in the email address?

    If someone else has set up an ICloud account using my email address and Apple ID but has chosen his name for the mail name, can I get rid of his name in the [email protected] and put mine in there?  Or do I have to set up a whole new acount with a new Apple ID?  Will I be able to do that with his name already linked to my email address?

    How did he manage to do this? - he would have to have known your password if he was using an existing Apple ID. You should change it immediately to something strong and unguessable. That will prevent him accessing the account or using the email he has set up (assuming he hasn't changed the password and locked you out).
    You can't change the primary @icloud.com address once set up, though you can create additional addresses as email aliases: if he's given this address out you will get his emails but you could set up a Rule to trash them.
    You might to better to create a new ID and iCloud account anyway. To do this you wil need a different non-Apple email address (you could use a free GMail one); or you have the option in the iCloud prefs pane to choose an @icloud.com address and make that the ID.

  • 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.

  • We switch from an old email address to a new one. How can we move the data from the calendar?

    We move to a new email address. How can we move all the data from the calender (iCloud) to the new calender (because the iCloud is now based on a new email address)

    Go to appleid.apple.com and sign in with your current Apple ID
    Change the Apple ID to the old one and save changes.
    Sign in on the device with the same password for your account.
    After logging in and signing out of Facetime, Messages, iCloud and itunes and app store, go back to Apple ID.com and change it back to your normal Apple ID.
    Go to your email account and reverify your account by clicking on the Verify now link
    Now re-login to those services with your normal Apple ID and password.

  • Apple is sending a password reset to an email address that does not exist. How do I update the email? Can't find it in my account.

    Why is Apple sending an email to an address I can't find in my account??

    Apple will not send you password reset requests in an email. It is likely a phishing email trying to get your personal or security information. Ignore the request and send the email to trash. Do not provide any personal or security information in response to the email. Do not click on any links in the email.

  • Itunes is picking up an email address from 5 years ago.  How do I change that

    I'm trying to sync my itouch with my new Mac Book.  It is picking up the user name of an email address I had 5 or 6 years ago.  When I don't remember the password it emails it to my old email address which I don't have anymore.  I can connect to my PC just fine, but the Mac is picking up old info from somehwere.  I can't find the personal info on my iphone, itouch or in itunes anywhere.

    What new iOS?
    Why did you choose to update without first confirming that a current backup exists?
    Nothing can be done if a more current backup does not exists.
