ICloud popscreen won't go away and it's the old Apple ID

We just changed our email address, therefore, I changed our Apple ID. My iphone, however, keeps popping up the iCloud sign-in but it's the old Apple ID.
It will not allow me to go to iCloud to delete and add new because the pop-up screen keeps blocking the screen.

I can't use my phone.

If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreated the old ID by going 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 respond to the prompt and to turn off Find My iDevice, 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.

I have updated my Apple ID, but iCloud under System Preferences on my iMac still shows the old Apple ID. How do I update it to show the new ID name? Can anyone help?

I've updated my Apple ID, but iCloud under System Preferences on my iMac still shows my old Apple ID. How do I update it to show the new Apple ID?

Do you mean you changed your existing apple id to a new email address, still associated to your existing apple id?
If that's the case, just click the sign out button in the icloud preferences, and sign in with the new email address.
If you're actually created an entirely new apple id with your new email address, you'll have to do some exporting/importing.

Update so that all apps are registered to my current apple ID from an email that is no longer valid. When I try and log into the old Apple ID I am told it has been 'locked for security reasons'

I have a very old apple ID that was used to install some of my first apps that I still use today such as Whats App. I cannot install updates for these apps because my apple ID is no longer operational and when I try and reset this apple ID I get an error message saying this apple ID has been blocked for security reasons. NB. I cannot reset using email verification as the email doesnt exist anymore and when I tried inputing my security questions I couldn't get past my birth questions and then got "you have too many failed attempts at verification...so this apple ID has been blocked".

The old Apple ID apps cannot be transferred to the new ID so you would be best to delete and download new.
For lockout issues with the Apple ID contact the store support staff at http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
For security questions reset, contact the country support number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with the Account Security Team.

How do I change my Apple ID in iCloud. I changed my Apple ID but when I go to settings iCloud the old id is grayed out and won't let me change it now because my password is for the new id but I can out the new id in the Apple ID spot

Does it show a Delete Account option at the bottom of Settings > iCloud? What happens if you hit that?

Whenever I go to the camera app, the first image that you see (the grey image thing) won't go away and on instagram the screen is just black. How do I fix this?

I've already tried to restore and reset the iPad. I have also found that every app that I have that uses a camera can't take pictures except facetime and photo booth, but only the front camera works.

Try this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Hi Jayhawk,
Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom of the page and Delete the iCloud account. Make sure you have an internet connection, then go back to Settings>iCloud and sign back into your iCloud account.

My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer. For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it. I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud. How do I change the Apple ID (not the 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.
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.

In preferences turn on iTunes sharing in iTunes preferences and keep iTunes turned on in both accounts. Or better yet put the iTunes library on the main HD rather than in an account and set the location of the library to that location in iTunes preferences.

First go into settings, Itunes and App store, sign out and then sign in again! (This might not work)

Apple Picture won't go away and won't turn on!

Help! First my nano was stuck in disc mode,took it to the apple store, they got out and said it just needed to charge .... now the Apple picture won't go away and I can't turn it on. I 've been letting it charge for two to three hours! What's wrong

I ended up having the same problem last weekend as well. My 80 gig iPod was acting weird from the very beginning (not remembering view settings), and its only a few months old.
I took it to the Apple Store, they ran a diagnostic, and it turned out it had corrupted drive. Thankfully I had applecare and they replaced it. I picked it up today, and guess what... This one doesnt remember the view settings either.

I changed my Apple ID and password with help from Apple support staff, but iCloud still has old Apple id and won't accept the old Apple id password. How do I change iCloud id to the new Apple ID?

How to change iCloud ID to my newly created Apple ID? The old password for the old iCloud ID no longer works so I cannot delete the old iCloud account to create a new iCloud account because the old password no longer works .... can't turn off FINE MY PHONE.

Can't do this as I cannot sign in using my old APPLE id as no password(s) will work with that old id - therefore I cannot get the other screens to perform the rest of the steps recommended. Any other suggestions?

I have two devices (Iphone and Ipad) on the same Apple ID. When I go to Icloud and click at the "find Iphone" I see only one of my devices. How can I do to see both of them?

Obvious question, but have you got 'Find My iPhone' set on both devices? Settings>iCloud>Find My iPhone.

I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

My husband and I use the same apple ID, I have just started using an iPhone and deleted all his contacts from my phone. He hadn't backed up his iPhone but my iPad is backed up to iCloud. Is there any way I can retrieve his contacts from there?

If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

I have this exact same issue. Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud. This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation). How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back? I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.
