ICloud backup works but displays incorrect Apple ID

I only have 1 Apple ID that I use for everything. I set up iCloud and can backup from iPhone to iCloud successfully. I can log into iCloud from my Mac. But when I log into iCloud on my Mac using my one and only Apple ID, then I click on my Account Info, I happen to notice that it says my Apple ID is something different, showing an extension of @icloud.com. That is defintely not the Apple ID that I use on my iPhone, or iTunes, or when logging into iCloud on my Mac. What is out of sync here?

Apple has added @icloud.com to everyone's accounts.  If you previously used [email protected] or [email protected], then the new [email protected] refers to the same account.  They are all aliases.

  • I had my iPad 2 replaced by Apple today. All my backup was iCloud and so proceeded to restore from iCloud backup point but couldn't proceed as the new iPad needed iOS 7. How can I get I get around this?

    I had my iPad 2 replaced by Applestore today. On the new iPad I tried to restore from iCloud backup point but was told I was unable to do this as the new iPad needed to have the latest running system iOS 7 loaded. Is there a way I can do this so I can get my iCloud backup or do I need to go back to Applestore and get an iPad preloaded with iOS 7?

    If you feel comfortable you can do the Update to iOS 7 yourself and after you have successfully done that... then Restore your iCloud Back Up.
    If you are not comfortable in doing it yourself... Then go back to the Apple Store and get them to do it.
    They will be Happy to assist you.

  • TS3992 I can't back up to icloud on my iphone. I have 25 GB of icloud backup storage, but it won't give me access to backup to it. How do you fix. My phone is almost full.

    I can't back up to icloud on my iphone. I have 25 GB of icloud backup storage, but it won't give me access to backup to it. How do you fix. My phone is almost full. How can I start using the icloud storage?

    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • My ipod touch is frozen wont do anything, but displays the apple logo only

    my ipod is frozen wont do anything, but displays the apple logo only

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • ICloud backup has old non-email Apple ID, no longer have password

    I'm unable to restore my iPhone 4/iOS 6.1.3 backup to my new iPhone 5/iOS 7.0
    Using my new iPhone 5s:
    1. In the Set up your iPhone screen, tap Restore from iCloud Backup.
    2. In in iCloud Sign In screen, I enter my email-based Apple ID and Password, then tap Return.
    3. In the Terms and Conditions screen, tap Agree. In the Terms and Conditions popup dialog, tag Agree again.
    4. In the Choose Backup screen, choose LATEST IPHONE BACKUP (Yesterday, iPhone (iPhone 4)).
    The iPhone 5 now asks me for the the Apple ID password for my old, non-email Apple ID. When I enter the password for my current, email-based Apple ID, I get an alert: Could Not Sign In: Your Apple ID or password is incorrect.
    I'm unable to reset my password using http://appleid.apple.com. When I use the email authentication approach, I never receive the email. When I use the Answer Security Questions approach, it prompts me for the montd, day and year of my birth. When I enter these, I get this message: The authentication information provided does not match our records. Please verify your personal information and try again.
    So apparently my old iPhone 4 is backing itself up using an iCloud account that uses my current email-based Apple ID, but somehow the backups it saves use my old, non-email-based Apple ID, so I can't use them to restore to another device.
    I'm not sure what I should try next. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    I have exactly this issue. A few years ago I changed my Apple ID. No problem then or since then. But today when I try to restore my new iphone 5S from an existing back up - a back up which I created from my iphone 4 just a minute before using the same iCloud/Apple ID - it defaults to an old Apple ID (that I can't change) so when I enter my password (which is actually the same password as for the old Apple ID) it says can't restore from back up (specifically items purchased from iTunes) because the Apple ID and/or password is incorrect. I am like 'yeah, it's incorrect because you have defaulted to the wrong Apple ID doofus'. Any ideas?

  • IPad works, but display remains black! Fixed now.

    Hi, this isn't a question but a maybe solution in case anyone else is experiencing this issue I just experienced.
    The iPad worked but the display showed nothing. The backlight came on and if I took a screenshot it would momentarily show what was onscreen. Tried to fix it with the usual methods - Reset. Restore. DFU mode. Restore again. No luck. Eventually I just slapped it hard on the back and it worked

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.  If you try ALL these steps and your phone still doesn't function properly, you'll need to bring it to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • Mid 2010 MacBook pro took a keyboard spill.  It still works but display is sooo dark - like no backlight.  I think this is an LED screen.  Does anyone know the fix for this?

    Hi all...  My mid 2010 MacBook Pro took a keyboard spill.  It still works but the display is very very dark.  A faint image can only be seen at an angle in very bright light.  I think this model has an LED screen.  Can anyone please tell me what the fix for this is?  Thank you sooooo much!

    Spill Cleaning
    Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?
    Do
    Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
    Remove the computer's battery (if you can)
    Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
    Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
    Note what was spilled on your Mac.
    Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.
    Don't
    Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
    Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
    Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).

  • ICloud Backup restoring someone else's Apple ID information.

    Hey guys,
    Every time I restore from a particular backup on my iPad, it restores and constantly pops up someone else's Apple ID. I won't specify the ID for security reasons, but I have isolated it to the iCloud backup. I can backup from the iCloud backup in iTunes and restore from that backup with no issues. Of course I know that the backups from iCloud and iTunes are completely separate, but I'm curious as to what might cause this to happen? Might it be pulling the information from the iCloud server farm when restoring my backup, possibly on the same farm as the information for this Apple ID? It has me baffled...
    Anyone else experiencing these issues? Either it comes up once, or it shows multiple times. I have some friends who will get multiple different Apple IDs pop up, but more randomly.
    Anything helps. The only two relative things I can link between accounts is that we both have Developer accounts. I don't know if this has anything to do with it? No idea.
    Yeti

    *UPDATE*
    I have run into other friends who are experiencing similar issues with restoring from backups in iCloud that DO NOT have developer accounts. Does anyone have any insight on what might be causing this? Is there somewhere else I should look?
    Thank you.

  • How do I get iCloud Backup Options to display the list of apps on my iPad?  It just spins forever.

    I'm trying to set up iCloud backups for my iPad.  I go into Manage Storage, selet my iPad from my list of iCloud enabled devices and then I get the Backup Info screen.  Its supposed to list all of my applications so I can turn on/off backups on an app by app basis.  Unfortunately it just spins forever and the Backup Options list never populates.
    This works fine in my iPhone 4s, but not on my iPad.
    I don't want to run a backup without doing this since I have a lot of data in a couple of apps and I don't want those backed up.
    Is this an iOS bug on the iPad?

    Eventually the Settings app just crashes while waiting for the Backup Options list to populate.
    When I try an actual backup of my iPad to iCloud it spins for a while and then crashes.
    I only want to backup up a handful of my apps to iCloud but right now I can't even get it to show me the list of apps to turn on/off.

  • HT1766 I reset my ipad then tried to restore it with my icloud backup. it asked for my apple id and password. I knew my password but could not remember the apple id. so I asked the dialogue to retreive it but it asked me to reset my password. now i can't

    i had problems with it being very slow even thought I deleted all my music and pics and even a lot of apps so I figured I'd reset it and restore from the backup I have on iTunes. but after aksing for my apple id and then being forced to change my password, it also asked me to associate an email with the account.after all that when I try to restore it says it has a problem. I can't remember the exact message I get.
    I set it up as a new ipad thinking I'd try and use iTunes to retrieve it. but it doesn't look like I can do it that way either.haven't synced with a my laptop in a while.

  • ICloud syncing works, but new .me EMAIL not receiving or sending using Mail or IOS5

    So, i got IOS5 on my phone, set up a new .me account from scratch adm everything worked well (including email). I then decided I wanted a different email address so set up a new apple ID / .me - on this new one, all the syncing worked, ical, find my phone etc, find my mac etc, BUT the email didn't work. The only thing that works on email is SENDING from icloud.com.
    Recieving and sending through Mail and my phone doesnt work. My phone initially came up with an error regarding 'p05-smtp.mail.me.com' but now it just says my username or password is incorrect, which is untrue.
    Shall I just ditch this account and go back to the one i set up originally with the email address i dont like as much (but it works) or will this fix itself? Its been a week :-s

    just found a solution to my own problem - CHANGE YOUR APPLE ID

  • HT204053 icloud backup with multiple devices and apple ids

    Wondering if I have the appropriate set up to ensure all my data, purchases, apps, etc. is properly backed up to my icloud (personal email account)?  Here is my current set up.  PC: itunes - personal email; iPhone: icloud & store purchases - personal email; iPad: icloud-work email and store purchases-personal email.  So will store purchases on my iPad still go to my personal icloud?  (Note I can't change the iPad: icloud log in - iPad owned by work so required setting)
    Also, does icloud copy any data from my PC other than itunes?  Not sure if the set up questions when I icloud on my PC are related to my PC or to the various devices.  For instance, "Mail" is an option - which mail account is this?  
    Any clarification on these questions would be much appreciated!

    My iphone 5s = apple id 1
    Husband iphone 4s = apple id 2
    My ipad = apple id 3
    Son #1 ipad mini = apple id 4
    Son #2 ipad mini = apple id 5
    For iCloud.. Not quite, you want the same ID for iCloud on your phone and iPad so you have the same info on each. (so perhaps ID 1 on both.
    But if you want to share your music (assuming lets say its your ID 1 that has the iTunes account), you should all use ID 1 for iTunes.

  • HT204053 I just got a new iphone, and I'm attempting to use Icloud to update but a different Apple ID keeps coming up, why is this happening?

    So I have an Iphone 4S and decided to upgrade to a 5C.  I used the Icloud and backed up my phone, and started to set up the Iphone 5C.  So I enter my apple ID and password when prompted, then it asks me to select a back up, I choose the one I just created.  Here is where it gets weird, another apple ID comes up, which also happens to be my mother inlaws.  Now some back story, on my 4S, I used a laptop which was my mother inlaws old laptop.  Would that have anything to with my Icloud back up though?  I wouldn't think so but it not working.  ANY input would be appreciated.

    Sorry, all content bought using an Apple ID is forever tied to that Apple ID. Content cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
    If you want to update/use those apps, you have to use the same Apple ID & password.
