If I change my Apple password as a security precaution because my phone has been lost and switched off, will Find My iPhone still function? That is, will it be able to connect to iCloud, as the password on the phone is still the old one.

My phone is lost – not stolen, and may still be returned. Not long after I lost it, it was switched off, or died (it was at about 6%), so I can't find it using Find My iPhone. I realized I should change all my important passwords, as the passcode can be compromised by various methods. One password I changed was for my Apple account.
Now I'm realizing that I shouldn't have done that. What if the phone comes back online – but my AppleID password has changed; will the phone still be able to connect to Apple with the old credentials so my message is sent?
When I realized this I tried to go back to my old password – but Apple won't let me use one I used in the last year. Any way around this?

when you change your Apple iD it's pretty much changing the visual email, i guess that doesn't really answer your question, yes you keep your purchases, it just changes the log-in email and email where newsletters , etc. go to.

I connected my friends ipod to my laptop whilst I was playing some songs and closed whatever came up on the screen from itunes. Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back? He hasn't got his laptop anymore so the only music he has was on his ipod.

Hasn't he got a backup of his content on external drives and/or CDs or DVDs ?

My iPod has been lost and the iPod is offline so I cannot track my iPod,what should I do?:(

My iPod has been lost and my iPod is offline so it cannot show where the iPod is,someone please tell me what to do:(

Other than just continuing to look for it, there's nothing you can do to locate it. Notify the police in case someone turns it in, and as a precaution change passwords for your Apple ID and any other online services you may have used from the iPod.
Regards.

Updated to 7.0.2 and now some of my music has been removed and I can't find it, and music I deleted years ago has reappeared, and I can't delete it from icloud. My phone will also no longer sync with my computer.

I updated to 7.0.2 and now some of my music has been removed and I can't find it, and music I deleted years ago has reappeared, and I can't delete it from icloud. My phone will also no longer sync with my computer. My phone has also been freezing regularly since I updated.

The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
Now- "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!

After update IOS from 6.0 to 7.1, my Apple Id cannot access to my Iphone due to the Apple ID that comment on IOS 7.0.2 was not matched to the old one.

I have gotten the problem after updated IOS to version 7.0.2. I signed up my IPhone with su* @pttplc.com as Apple ID via older IOS version and can use it normally but after I update the IOS version from 6.0 to 7.0.2, the Apple ID that commented on my IPhone is sx* @pxxxxx.com. It look like that the number of alphabet in Apple Id is not matched. The new one is less than the old one so I cannot log in my IPhone. After that I try asking for the new password but the new password was not send to su* @pttplc.com but send to my reserve e-mail instead. Please help me to fix the problem ASAP due to I cannot access IPhone for 2 month already.
Please suggest the solution to reset my IPhone to normal. Please advise ASAP. Thanks in advance.
PS. If you want any further information, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Hey Suwat Chanpui,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issue relating to your Apple ID account after updating to iOS 7. The following articles may help to resolve your issue:

If you recently changed your Apple ID and did not update your Apple ID on your device:
1. Tap Skip This Step to continue.
2. After completing iOS 7 setup, go to Settings > iCloud.
3. Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then enter your previous Apple ID and password.
4. If your Apple ID or password are not accepted, follow the steps in iOS 7: If you're asked for your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud.

3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
2. Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
4. Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.

HT204053 I have changed my apple id on all the devices but my iCloud applied will not change. I tried to delete and set up a new iCloud but the old one is claiming to be the primary one and will not change. Help.

After going to a turorial at apple store, I changed the appleid on my devices. However; on my mac under the icloud the old appleid remains. I tried to delete it and add a new one but it will not delete, claiming it is the primary one. I set up an new one with the new appleid but note etc will not merge on it.
How do I change to just one appleid?

I lost my iPad. I had not secured it with a password at the time. I bought a new one and was able to restore some data from the old one. Is there a way if can locate my old iPad?

i indeed to recover my old iPad 3 which was stolen. How do I go about this?

If you did not turn on Find My iPad you will not be able to track it,locate it or erase it remotely. whoever has your iPad may have erased it but they might also be using it as they found t schedule means your passwords and sensitive info might be exposed. I suggest changing your Apple ID password and every other password used on your old iPad.

Recently I changed my apple id but forgot to change my icloud account. I also have Find My IPhone activated. I tried to delete my ICloud account but first I need to switch off my Find My iPhone, to complicate this I can no longer access prev email account

Recently I changed my apple id but forgot to change my iCloud account.
I also have Find My Iphone activated. My old apple id was an old work email address no longer in use nor can be accessed.
I need to be able to turn off Find My Iphone in order to then delete my iCloud account, I need to include my apple id password to turn off Find my Iphone.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance.

Please go to website address: www.idapple.com Go to the blue tab that reads Manage apple id. From there you will have the option to change personal information of your apple id. The fact that the email address you used to create the apple id is no longer accessible as far as an email address goes will not disable you from changing information as part of the apple id account. However to disable the find my device you will need to be able to access this apple id login. Once you are able to access the old apple id account this then will allow you to access the icloud services by going to www.icloud.com from there you will login with your old apple id once logged into icloud.com and you have chosen the correct device you then can erase all contents of the device which then will disable the find my device.
This is one way of doing it. The other way of course would be for you to login to your icloud on your phone using the old Apple id and from there provided you are able to login with password you then can simply disable the find my device inside the icloud account.
Good luck Friend.

HT204053 hi, my ipad has been stolen and im trying to find it on find my ipad can I use the app find my iphone for it?

If you set up iCloud and turned on Find My iPhone on it before it was stolen, you may be able to track it using Find My iPhone on icloud.com from your computer, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f2442.

I found an Iphone 4s and it says this iphone has been lost and erased, log in as previous owner. I don't know who the previous owner is.

I found an Iphone 4 and i attempted to give it to the person who worked at the gas station but he said I dont care, just keep it. I brought it home and it suddenly returned to the setup screen. I tried setting it up to try and find the owner but it says "This IPhone was lost and erased. Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to erae this IPhone." The problem is i have no idea who this phone belongs to or how to find that person. What should i do?

Turn it over to the police, or if you can identify the carrier, to the carrier it was being used on.

How did you turn your email on and off?

If I change my Apple password as a security precaution because my phone has been lost and switched off, will Find My iPhone still function? That is, will it be able to connect to iCloud, as the password on the phone is still the old one.
