ICloud suddenly stopped using my Apple ID

I was trying to login to icloud.com when it refused to log me in and gave me this message (look at the attached photo). I've had this Apple ID and used it for icloud.com and iCloud on my iPhone since I bought the phone so the issue is not that it's a new ID and not activated or whatever. Plus it's working normally on my iPhone. I don't know why this happened or whether it's just a temporary thing. Please help as I don't want to delete my Apple ID on the phone and re-enable it because I'm afraid to lose my data.

If you are trying to log into icloud.com using mobile Safari on an iOS device, that's your problem.  You cannot access icloud.com from mobile Safari like you can from a computer's browser.

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    My iPhone 5 suddenly stopped opening the Apple Mail app.  It had worked flawlessly for years, but just stopped.  It worked on my iPad, and of course on the computer.  What's going on, and how do I fix it?  I've turned the phone on and off several times, soft reset several times.  There was no change in any settings when this happened, nor any new apps were added.  Thank you for any help you can give.

    Does it not work either way? Sending and receiving? Did you check the settings and make sure that nothing has changed? If you can receive email, but not send it, check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • I want to stop using my Apple ID for my iPad, which I will give my daughter.

    Dear friends,
    A month ago, I bought an iPad 4 for my 4-year-old daughter. I have used my Apple ID and bank account to buy Apps to install on the iPad. Now I do not want to use my Apple ID and bank account for this iPad (but I will use them for my iPhone 5). I live far away from my daughter and I have bought enough educational Apps for her. If my Apple ID and bank account are being used for this iPad, my daughter may click commercial Apps and that will be trouble for me.
    Now I want to use my wife's email address as a new Apple ID (she does not have a bank account, but she has her own laptop).
    Can I still keep the purchased Apps on the iPad for my daughter? How can I change the Apple ID  and stop my bank account for this iPad?
    I am not a technician and English is not my mother tongue, so please use simple language when you give me instructions.
    Thank you very much for your help.
    Happy New Year!
    Best regards,
    Le (Mr)

    Try getting a credit card from the same people who issued the debit card. If I read the home sharing paper properly after your set it up with the credit card you can change the payment method back to debit.

  • Can I check my Icloud email without using an apple device?

    I use my Icloud email address for almost everything, and I don't always have access to an apple product or I don't have my Iphone on me, but I always have access to a regular computer at work, I am tired of transfering emails all the time is there any way to access my Icloud emails on a non apple device?

    Open a web browser, go to https://www.icloud.com, and login with your ID and Password.  Then you can check any of your iCloud content, mail, calendar, contacts, and so on.

  • HT5624 I want to have single Apple ID for icloud. I use only apple phone,ipad

    I want to have single Apple ID and icloud account for iPhone and ipadmini and iPad air.

    Welcome to the Apple community Uday96.
    You don't actually say an awful lot about your current setup, but I'm assuming that you have different Apple ID for iCloud on each of your devices. In which case decide which Apple ID you wish to use on all of them and then delete the others from the other devices.
    (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and tap Delete Account)
    You can then use the details from the Apple ID that you wish to use and enter them into the iCloud account of the devices you have deleted the other accounts from.

  • My iMac suddenly stopped connecting to Apple TV

    i tried to airplay from my iMac today to my apple tv and it did not work.  i tried making changes to my firewall, powering down all devices and restarting and its still not connecting.  help

    Greetings cbtc160,
    So you were using Airplay just fine but suddenly it quit?
    I'm not sure what changes you made to your firewall, but please make sure the settings match those in this article.
    About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X - Apple Support
    Firewall security settings
    If you use a firewall, make sure the following firewall security options have been set to allow AirPlay Mirroring to work:
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu ().
    Click Security & Privacy, then click Firewall.
    Click the lock icon to unlock it if it's locked, then type an administrator name and password.
    Click Firewall Options.
    Deselect (uncheck) the “Block all incoming connections” checkbox.
    Select (check) the “Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections” checkbox.

  • If i have kik on my phone can my messages be seen on another ipod on icloud that is using my apple id

    ?????

    I don't know whether or not iCloud will sync messages from 3rd party apps like Skype or not.  You'll have to contact the app developer and ask them.
    Apps that you download on one device will automatically be downloaded to your other devices if they are using the same Apple ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores and have Apps turned to On under Automatic Downloads in Settings>iTunes & App Stores.

  • Alsa sound and xine engine suddenly stopped using the right soundcard

    I have a relativly fresh arch install and was astonished how easy the installation of alsa was. I just installed the alsa-lib package and it automatically detected my PCI soundcard instead of using my onboard chip.
    But suddenly (about some hours ago) Amarok refuses to playback on the right soundcard. Instead i get output on my onboard card. I'm using gnome and if i check the Audio settings everything is on "Alsa" and if i click on the "Test" button i get that annoying sine-sound - on the right soundcard. If i try to manually change the sound output in Amarok from "Autodetect" to "Alsa" i get a xine error and Amarok crashes.
    Then i tried to define my default soundcard in my .asoundrc:
    pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 2
    ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 2
    No luck. What's happening here?

  • IPod is playing, but suddenly stops, then shows Apple logo. Can you help?

    Has this happened to any of you? What did you do?
    eMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   4GB 2nd Generation Pink iPod Mini

    Restoring my iPod didn't help after all. I'm still having that problem. Another problem I'm having is when I turn my iPod on, the main menu doesn't appear. So I try again until the screen's backlight turns on. Then I see the Apple logo, and then the main menu finally shows. I'm thinking it's the battery-should it be replaced? I've tried the other 4 Rs too, but none of them have helped either.

  • How to share icloud with family without sharing apple id

    I want to share iCloud with my family so that we can share music but I don't want them to also be able to download my emails etc.  What can I do?

    Your iTunes login doesn't have to be the same as your iCloud login. Use one Apple ID for iTunes and share it with your family, and create another for iCloud and keep it to yourself.

  • HT201342 Two icloud email accounts with same apple ID

    Just got my new iphone 5 and gave my 4 to my wife. I have an apple ID and my own icloud email. How can she get an icloud email address using my apple id? No need for her to setup her own apple ID as we share the same account.

    She can't. She needs to setup her own AppleID and then create an iCloud account using that.
    You can still continue to share your existing AppleID for iTunes and App Store purchases.

  • How can I stop using my primary Apple ID (Gmail) but leave my secondary Apple ID (icloud) as primary ond only ONE?

    Good afternoon friends.
    Please help me and tell how can I stop using my primary Apple ID (Gmail) but leave my secondary Apple ID (icloud) as primary ond only ONE?
    I started using Apple ID in 2011 when iCloud was not exist and was forced to use non-apple e-mail adress as primary ID.
    So I used GMail mailbox.
    When iCloud was started I created my account but unfortunatelly can't remove this Gmail address from my Apple ID and replace it with icloud mail address.
    I was VERY dissapointed because I don't want to use "outside" mailbox to get letters from Apple and ny ID.
    In fact I see the Apple old users and fans discrimination.
    When creating new user accounts are free to create a box on the iCloud mail and use it as a primary ID, and the only ONE.
    At the same time the old user is obliged to keep third-party mail box like Gmail etc. as the primary and can not get such an opportunity, as a new user
    This is extremely inconvenient and a VERY strange logical.
    For example, now I want to stop using this mailbox on Gmail but I can not do that because in this case I lose access to my ID, or run the risk that someone in the future will create a box with the same name on Gmail (when name will be free and available) and will automatically get access to my accounts on Apple and to my Apple ID.
    Now, to avoid this, your team, I offer the only way out: ID, create anew.
    Of course it's possible, but then:
    - I lose all my purchases for 3 years and will be forced to make them again and pay money for the second time for my purchases
    - Lose access to the familiar iCloud e-mail address who now serves as secondary ID because this e-mail address is almost no longer available and will never be released in future.
    And now answer me for ONLY TWO questions:
    - WHERE IS LOGIC?
    - WHAT ABOUT TO BE FRIENDLY FOR YOUR USERS AND FANS?
    Thank you!
    Hopefully for your GOOD answers.

    You cannot make your @icloud.com address the login address for the ID. However you can change your ID, currently a Gmail one, to any other functioning non-Apple email address. The Gmail address would then no longer access your account, and so even if someone were to obtain posession of it (is that even possible) it wouldn't allow them to get into your account.
    If you want to change your ID to another email address please follow the procedure outlined below, particularly noting the first step.
    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Create a new email address, for example  at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.
