ICloud Password Retrieval

Gang,
For some reason starting aroun 11 am this morning my iCloud password stopped working. First my mail on my MacBook kept asking me to reenter my password. Then mail on my iPhone would not work. Then when I tried iCloud.com it would accept my password either and directed me to iFogot.com. That site would not accept my birthday and then I asked it to send password retrieval eMail to my alternate account but no eMail has arrived all day.
Please can anyone telll me HOW I FIX THIS?
TIA,
James

  • Lost iCloud Password. Cant remember answers to security questions and retrieval email no longer in service. Please help

    Hi, I have a friend who has lost his iCloud password. We cannot remember the answers to the security questions and we can therefore not retireve an important pages document that is backed up to iCloud. Is there any way to retrieve the password based on the correct birthdate and the username? I can even supply the date (to within 2 days) of when the account was created.
    I cannot find any way to communicate with someone at Apple directly, who could help me out.
    P.S. We are based in South Africa, so there is no Apple Store that I could go to. Apple itself is only represented here through a 3rd party.
    Your, any, help would be greatly apprecited.
    Kind regards
    Oliver

  • Can't retrieve my icloud password

    I can't seem to retrieve my icloud password. I have tried to retrieve it via the security questions, but I can't remember the answers. Also, whenever I try to retrieve it via email, it either doesnt send anything to my email or a very random email address appears on my screen asking me to enter the password for itunes. I really need help with this problem since half my apps won't open until I update them.
    thank you for you help!

    Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and log in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address.
    If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
    Once you have the Apple-generated new password you can of course go to http://appleid.apple.com and change it, though you will not be able to reuse the old password.

  • Retrieving my iCloud password

    I cannot remember my iCloud password. My iCloud id is different than my Apple id so they have different passwords. I use the same Apple id as my wife but we have different iCloud ids so that we do not share the same contact lists, etc. I cannot figure out how to retrieve MY iCloud password since all the "help" info on this subject involves having the same Apple id and iCloud id.  HELP!

    Your iCloud ID is an Apple ID, but it's perfectly possible to have more than one Apple ID.
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click on 'Reset your password'. Enter the ID you sign into iCloud with. A new password will be sent to the email address associated with the ID.

  • Retrieving icloud password

    Hi,
    I have forgotten my icloud password and have requested a reminder.  However, the reminder will have been sent to an old email address that is no longer in use.  Does anyone know how else I can retrieve this? 
    I want to set up icloud on 4 apple devices, and will need the same icloud account.  I have tried setting up a new account, but it doesn't transfer all old photos/notes into this account and this is why I need my old one.
    Is it possible to set up a new icloud account and have all old items transferred into this?
    Brisleybarn

    Thank you - I've tried this but it just takes me to the 'reset password' page which then sends your password to my old email address which I can't access.  It also gives the option of answering security questions, which I try, but annoyingly then get wrong.
    I would like to just start over with a new icloud account, which I have created, but don't know how to transfer all photos from my devices into this new account.
    Any ideas? 

  • HT204053 How can I retrieve my iCloud password? It's not working with the apple id password.

    I had to reset my apple I'd password yesterday & now my iCloud is not logging in. I tried using both my old apple I'd password & the new one that I just reset. Neither work. How can I retrieve my iCloud password?

    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.

    You are going to need to go to: FORGOT APPLE ID to retrieve your iCloud/Apple ID. Once you know your ID, you can log onto Apple - My Apple ID and click on Reset Password to answer the Security Questions you will need to answer. If you don't remember the answers, you will have to contact Apple Support to have them reset: ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS

  • How can I access my iCloud password?

    I cannot find my iCloud password.  My iphone and ipad won't sync with my MacBook Air.  Last night I bought an extra $20 worth of iCloud space in hopes that this would help....it has not.  Help please.

    You cannot retrieve your password but you can reset it to a new one. Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com; click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
    Note that once you have changed the password you will need to sign out and back in again on all your devices. If you have 'Find My iPhone' (or whatever) set up on any of them you may be in difficulties as you will need to turn that off and may require the old password to do so, so you should try to do this before changing the password. I shouldn't log out, though, until you have the reset password organized.
