ICloud ID is different on iPhone than iCloud Apple ID on computer

I just upgraded to iOS 7 and did not realize iCloud on my iPhone was under my old Apple ID and password. I'm attempting to sync the accounts but when I try to delete the iCloud account on my iPhone, as directed, it asks for my password (for the old account) that I do not remember.
I cannot reset it because when I go to my computer to reset, it only gives me the option to reset my NEW Apple ID which is my new iCloud account #.
I cannot find a way to reset from the phone.
Has anyone had this happen and did you find a fix?

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 can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. 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. You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

Why is iCloud content different on iPhone than my Mac?

How come music videos and TV shows and movies available in iCloud on my iPhone don't show up on iCloud on my mac? Most of them do, but not all. I can download and watch them on my phone, but I can't on my mac. However, I can download other items in the cloud on my mac.
Thanks, Dan

Thanks Gregory. I actually should rephrase my question. I have items showing in the cloud on my iPhone that I have tried to delete but won't go away. I have swiped and hit red delete button, but they are still there months later in iCloud but only visible on my iPhone. Some items like the music videos I can get to show back up on my mac in iTunes, but when I delete them and choose to delete them from iCloud as well, they are gone from my iMac iTunes account, but are still on my iPhone via iCloud. I have read other posts and people have suggested going into Music and Video settings and choose not to show all music or videos. Well, this option prevents me from seeing any music or videos I have in the cloud, so that doesn't help. I just want to get rid of songs or videos or movies from the cloud that I no longer want any more and don't wish to see or listen to in the future.

Calendar colours are different in iPhone than what's on my iCal

Why is it that the colours that I assign in iCal on my computer is different than the colours I see for the same events on the Calendar in the iPhone?
Say, for example, I set an event for MISC for a whole day for today, and make it Red in my iCal - when I look at it in my iPhone, it's Orange. When I set it as Green, then it's Blue. When I set it to Black, it's Red. When it's Blue, it's Purple. And so on.
Is there something wrong with my iPhone, or is there a patch?
Thank you

"It's not a bug, it's a feature."
You can't easily fix this - only Apple can do so! They've released a kbase article with the explanation excuse that it is normal for the calendar colors not to match.
There is a workaround, although it is something of a pain. The iPhone will apply calendar colors in the following order: red, orange, blue, green, purple. (If you only sync one calendar, it's blue).
Depending on the colors you want, you first need to create 'blank' calendars in iCal to 'use up' unwanted colors. Then, you need to sync the calendars, one at a time, in color order.
Go to the Info tab (in iTunes with the iPhone connected and selected in the devices list). With the Sync iCal calendars box checked, UNcheck all the boxes and sync. Then, check the box for the calendar you want to be red. Then sync (if you look on the iPhone at this point, that calender will be blue, since it's the only one). Then, check the box for the calendar you want to be orange, then sync. Repeat for blue, then green, then purple.
For example, if I want to have two calendars, Home colored blue and Work purple, I would create three new calendars - empty1, empty2, empty3 - then check the boxes in the following order, syncing between each: empty1, empty2, Home, empty3, Work.
You only need to do this once (as long as you don't delete the empty calendars in iCal) - after that, iTunes 'remembers' the colors and maintains them.

Order of iTunes Playlists different on iPhone than Mac

Upon upgrading to iOS 5 a little while ago, I noticed that the alphabetization rules had changed for my Playlists on my iPhone, yet remained the same on my Mac. I have a number of playlists that would remain at the top of the list of Playlists (ie ".Essentials" or "_Recent Additions") because of the punctuation before them. iOS 5 changed the way they are ordered, so that Playlists are ordered by letter ("A"), number ("2"), and then punctuation ("_"), rather than the reverse. iTunes on my Mac still follows the original rules. Is there any way to change these rules? I know it's a nit-picky thing, but it drives me crazy to have to call the playlists I want at the top "AA--Recent Plays" in order to keep them up there. A simple ".Recent Plays" is much cleaner. I saw someone had this issue when they upgraded to iOS 3.0 a couple years ago, but got the wrong answer. I had iOS 3 yet didn't have that problem. I don't know why Apple arbitrarily would change this but the fact that in iOS 4 this issue didn't exist gives me hope there may be a solution. So, Apple nit-pickers, can I change the alphebetization rules or will I suffer through playlists that start with double A's ("AA")? Please help!

It IS a NANO issue, and I think I have found a temporary solution. It works for me, anyway:
1. You have your smart playlist that works in iTunes but gets messed up on the Nano... in this case let's call it "Recently Added."
2. UN-check this from the Nano sync list. Do not delete the playlist, keep it in iTunes, but do NOT have it updated in the Nano.
3. Make a new smart playlist. The one and only rule should be: Playlist - IS - Recently Added.
4. Name this playlist something slightly different, such as "Recently Added for Nano."
5. Have iTunes update the new smart playlist into the Nano.
This works for me as long as I don't have the original sync'd.

Email is different on iphone than computer

hey all, i am new to the iphone 3g and i have a hotmail account, when i delete an email from my iphone it doesnt delete it on my computer and vice versa, can someone please in lamens terms tell me how to fix this?

That is working exactly as it should. It's done that way on purpose on that type of email account. And you WANT it that way. THere will be times that you will not be able to read your email on your iPhone, and you will want a copy on your desktop. Similarly, there will be times you might want to keep an e-mail on your iPhone that you don't want on your desktop (especially if people e-mail you internet links down the road for your iPhone).
That's the way it's designed to work with POP accounts.

Why is the order of songs on a playlist different on my iphone than it is on my computer

The playlist "My Top Rated" is in descending order by rating on my computer (songs with the same rating are then sorted by artist) but on my phone they are always in a messed up order. I've tried making new playlists and resynching my phone, but nothing is working.And no, I don't have shuffle on.

Hi robbob116,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you're using an iPad and want to change the order of songs on a playlist, here's how to do it, from the iPad User Guide:

Colours are different in PS than everyother program on my computer. How do I fix this?

So I just recently started with PS and this is a big problem since I mainly use it to paint and it would be great to know that what I paint is what actually will become the picture
When I open a BW picture it turns out sepia in PS, and likewise, saving a picture that looks sepia in PS will turn out BW when saved in Jpeg or another format that is viewable in other programs than PS. Basically, all the pictures I've saved have turned out much more blueish than I intended them to be.
How can I fix this? I would be SO happy for help!!

How can I use a different Apple ID for Find My iPhone than for iCloud syncing/storage and iTunes purchases?

I use two different Apple ID's for two iPhone 4's and for iTunes on my PC. I use one for purchases and the other for Find My iPhone on both phones. How can I set up iCloud for both phones using each ID for it's user for storage and backup but keep one ID for purchases and one for Find My iPhone on both phones?

To better describe what I am needing:
1. - iPhone 1
2. - iPhone 2
A. - Apple ID #1
B. - Apple ID #2
On 1. I need A for purchases and iCloud and B for Find My iPhone.
On 2. I need A for purchases and B for iCloud and Find My iPhone.
In addition, will iCloud store text messages?

HT4436 Can there be more than on iCloud account on a computer? I have an iCloud account with my iPhone and would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac. I do not have a mac but an older PC

Can there be more than one icloud account on a computer? I have an icloud account with my iphone but would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac. I do not have a mac but an older PC. thanks

Welcome to the Apple community.
The simple answer is yes you can. On a single user computer, the user can have secondary iCloud accounts, which they can add through the system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars. The only drawback here is that only the primary iCloud account can use photo stream. This can be worked around by having a second user account on the Mac. Each user account could then have a different primary iCloud account, one for you and one for him, your account could then receive your photo stream pictures.
Are you also aware that you can have iCloud on your PC and download your photos stream pictures to it.

My ICloud ID is a different email than my apple store email?

My email on my Icloud is different than my apple store email and it wont let me change my ICloud one?? help asap please!

There is no way to change your primary address of a other provider to your @me.com address, but you could change it to a other email address from a other email provider e.g. Hotmail, Yahoo!, Gmail etc.
If you want that your primary address (Apple ID) and iCloud me.com address is the same, then you have to create a new account and choose the option "get a free me.com address during the set up process.
On your iPhone/iPad (iOS 5):
During the set up of your device or in settings "Settings > iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account... > iCloud"
On your Mac (Lion/Mountain Lion):
During the set up of your device or in system preferences "System Preferences > iCloud or System Preferences > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > + to add an account > iCloud"

Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

HT4864 I'm using Comcast email, how do I setup iCloud with Comcast? I have an iPhone and iPad 2, my home computer is using Windows XP, so I guess I'm out of luck using iCloud with XP.

I'm using Comcast email, how do I setup iCloud with Comcast? I have an iPhone and iPad 2, my home computer is using Windows XP, so I guess I'm out of luck using iCloud with XP.

Forwarding email from comcast to icloud is different than icloud managing comcast email. One disadvantage of forwarding is that when you respond to an email originally sent to the comcast address and forwarded to icloud, your reply will have the icloud address as the source, not your comcast. That is a problem for many users.
If your comcast account is IMAP, then there's no reason to forward. Just define two accounts in your mail app, one for comcast and one for icloud. Once done, you don't have to worry about dealing with two services, it's all done in a unified way.
And.... you are not talking to Apple here, we're just users like you. Apple doesn't participate in these forums.
