ICloud: cannot change account profile

Hi,
I recently changed my icloud account/mailaddress id on Itunes. Now when I want to login on ICloud, it tells me the login is wrong but I don't have the option to change it.
I added the old mailaddress I used via id.apple.com and verified/confirmed it via mail but still no luck logging in with old id. If I try to delete the account it asks for my password (with old id) and again it says the password is not ok. So I cannot change my appleid for icloud, I cannot delete it.
Also via Itunes no way to change. Please advise.
Please advise.
Steven

Hi
I have same problem,
but when I try to delete the id (as you wrote) is required to enter the password from the old id to turn off "find the iPhone" funtion

Cannot change account picture after upgrading to Mountain Lion.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard I cannot change account picture anymore.
The box which is supposed to contain picture previews just says "No items".
Screenshot attached:
This is not limited to a particular account, trying to change the picture within any account leads to this problem.
Is there any solution for the issue?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the answer.
Sure I can drag a photo to the users profile and it works but those Default ones were quite useful for having no mess with setting custom picture.
MacBook Pro with same Snow Leopard -> Mountain Lion upgrade did not have such issue.

ICloud cannot verify account

My Apple ID is correct but iCloud cannot verify account. Somehow I have two Apple IDs. I did reset my password on my primary Apple ID and confirmed the new password from the email instructions. The primary ID is the one I'm using but iCloud still cannot verify.

Has anyone answered this question for you?

Cannot change account settings anymore

When I try and view/change settings of an account I get a pop up message "An account with this name already exists. Please enter a different account name."
This only seems to have happened after the recent upgrade to 31.4.0, prior to this I have always been able to view/change the account settings.

I just started to have the same problem... Can no longer change desktop images... I've tried to do it from within iPhoto, right clicking on desktop, and going in through system preferences... My "padlock" is "open", I am the system administrator, but still cannot change the image...
HELP!
Have you done your homework?
Run DU, check/repair HD and permissions.
If that does not work, move following .plists to desktop; let system create new plists
try this one first:
com.apple.desktop.plist
reboot and see if this fixes it.
if not then move this one to desktop and repeat
com.apple.desktopscreensaver.rsspictures.plist
report back here with results.

Cannot access icloud, cannot verify account

With my current apple activie and able to log in to itunes and other apple website, I cannot access icloud with error message "check your email xxx for instructions on how to verify your account. But checking email, no email was sent.

Hey Edgew7,
Thanks for the question. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
2. Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
4. Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Cannot change account.

So, my gmail account is now disabled and I want to change my primary email address to another email. Before I can save it, the website prompts me for my password. I know my password, but it says it is wrong and won't let me use skype.

I think there may be a bug or an undocumented step that needs to be taken. I noticed the issue as well. See this post http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointadmin/thread/bc5d5765-2f48-4b05-b235-77d7776cdffd

GL Account text are maintained at SKAT table.
You have work around for this.
Go to SE16N and give the table SKAT
Enter.
Now in the selection criteria give your language and Chart of Accounts.
In the transaction code bar enter "&SAP_EDIT"
Press Enter.
You will see SAP editing function is activated.
Now execute
Insert new rows
Now enter language, Chart of Account, GL Account, Short Text and G/L Account Long Text.
Then GL Long text is automatically converted in capital letters by SAP.
Now save your entries.
Hope this works for you.

TS4002 wiped icloud, cannot access account or contents

In trying to work out how to sync my iPad and iPhone 4, I've deleted my iCloud info, emails,pics, the lot. I can log in to iCloud from iPad but when I click on Mail, it comes up with a list of email providers. When I click iCloud, it again asks me to log in. When I do so, it tells me this account is already taken!!
Not very good with techy stuff. Thought I'd nothing better to do than sync the iPad and iPhone and taaa-daaa, it would all go smoothly. NOT.

I changed my apple id email address to try jumpstart my account to send me a verification email for iCloud activation. It worked but now I cannot change back to my original email address. It says its in use.

Hi Guys
I am writing this on behalf of a friend of mine. To understand my issue let me explain how it started. My friend has a apple ID with email address (lets call it) [email protected] when activating iCloud on her iPhone a email was sent to verify her account. This was not done and rendered the iCloud feature disabled due to not being activated. [email protected] is the correct email address and works. A form of troubleshooting I used the iForgot service to test if the email address was correct and mail flow from apple was working and it worked fine.
I logged into apple id to manage account and resend activation email for iCloud. this did not send the mail. I waited 48hrs but to no avail.
I decided to kickstart the account to force it to send to another email address by changing the primary email address from [email protected] to [email protected] it worked and I verified the address and iCloud is now active. However now I cannot change the primary email address back to [email protected] as it says its being used by another apple ID.
I then tried iForgot with the [email protected] email address, it says it sent a email to [email protected] but nothing arrived in [email protected] or [email protected]
I have this feeling the [email protected] is stuck I'm memory on my apple ID some how but can't get it to forget [email protected] so that I can use it as my primary email address again.
I have tried to log into iTunes with my original details [email protected] and password but says its incorrect.
any advices in this would be greatly appreciated.

The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

I show and old defunct email address for my Apple ID on my APP store, iCloud, and iTune accounts and cannot log in. I am told my ID or password is incorrect. I did change my primary email address. that is the app ID that is showing.

How do I rename my App Store, iCloud, and iTunes accounts so i can update apps and software? I have closed the original email address i started my App Store, icloud, and iTunes account and cannot log in unders that Apple ID. I have tried going through device and my MacBook Air. Where can i get on-line assistance?

If you mean you are trying to delete your iCloud account in iOS 7 and you don't know the passwod for the old ID, do one of the following:
If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then 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 and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was. You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so. You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
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 > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

ICloud account email is grayed out and I cannot change it. How can I change it?

My iCloud account is grayed out on my iPad and iPhone and I cannot change it. It was previoudly set up as my email account that I no longer have access to. I was apple to change my Apple ID, but not the iCloud account. How can I change it?

If your new ID was changed (renamed) from your old ID rather than being an entirely new ID, recreate it by going to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.
