ICloud "Incorrect Password" messages for an old unused email account.

Every several minutes I get a prompt on my display asking me for the password for an iCloud account for an email account I do not use anymore. the prompt interrupts anything else I am doing. I've tried deleting the account and restarting. The prompt persists.
Any ideas? My current iCloud account is linked to a different, newer email account.
Thanks in advance,
Ed in Brooklyn

Is this something that BB is completely unable to do? Other than not being able to get the old email account off the phone, I really like it....

    I changed my primary email and icloud is still set for my old email. I tried deleting my icloud but it aks me for the old password associated with the old email that I don't have anymore. Any other sugestions on how to get icloud to change emails on my ios?

    I figured it out! I changed my email & password at the icloud site, then when I deleted the icloud account on my iphone - it still showed my old email but when i typed in my current password it went through. I was then able to sign back in with my current email and password. That was too easy for the amount of time I have put into this!  Glad its finally fixed.

  • Ipod wont link to wifi - incorrect password message

    ipod touch - Incorrect Password message occurs when I try to attach to my wifi.
    1) I have turned on and off again
    2) I have reset network settings
    3) I have reset ipod
    4)I have checked my password - it is 100% correct
    5) My router (talk talk ) works with other devices in my house and even on another ipod touch
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • TS4006 I have changed my Apple ID and can't sign on ICloud as the PW for the old ICloud iD is not working

    I have changed my Apple ID and can't sign on ICloud as the PW for the old ICloud iD is not working

    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.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go 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.  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 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 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.

    iCloud is asking me for my old Apple ID which is with an email that no longer exists. How do I change it to my new Apple ID?

    If you renamed your iCloud ID and need to change it on your device, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

    I'm sorry you're having issues with your e-mail account on your phone Rusty1112. Let's figure out what's going on. First, please try deleting account/information again and then restart phone. When phone is back on, try adding e-mail account again, and be sure you're entering exactly as you set up, meaning its case-sensitive. If you're still getting same error, please let us know and let us know what e-mail account it is, Yahoo, AOL, MSN, etc.
    Thank you,

    I have lots of bought music that my new laptop can't play because it's not authorized

    If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (do you remember the answers to your security questions or have a rescue email address on the account ?) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the password reset (they can also reset security questions).

    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with

  • Why do I keep having to reenter my password for one of my email accounts?

    Why do I keep having to reenter my password for one of my email accounts?

    Likely because one of the servers (the incoming or outgoing) needs authentication before you can receive or send messages.

    There is No Bypass solution.
    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
    If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

  • Old pop email account resurfaced in mail

    Hi guys.
    I am hoping someone will know the answer to this as it is driving me mad!
    My old pop email account I used to have I deleted as the account closed. However for some reason now that I am using Mavericks is still there despite me deleting it!
    I keep deleting it and for some reason it keeps reappearing in the list of accounts!
    I do have a macbook and I deleted that old pop email account from there as well. But it still appears!
    Any ideas on how to sort this out once and for all?
    Cheers

    Hi Chama9876,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.
    Mail (Mavericks): Remove mail accounts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14944
    Removing a mail account removes the account information from Mail and deletes the account’s mailboxes and messages that are saved on your Mac.
    Warning: Deleting a POP account permanently deletes its mailboxes and messages from your Mac and cannot be undone. If you back up files using Time Machine, you can use it to recover previous versions of mailboxes.
    Restore mailboxes and their content
    Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Accounts.
    Select an account, then click Remove (-).
    Removing an Exchange or IMAP account doesn’t permanently delete the account’s mailboxes and messages because they’re stored on the mail server. To retrieve the account’s mailboxes and messages from the server, add the account again in Mail.
    After you remove the mail account, if you close the Accounts window, you should be prompted to Save the changes.  Then quit the Mail app and restart the computer.
    Cheers,
