I have an IPad mini and I changed the Apple ID and the password almost one year ago and, for a while, a message asking me to sign in to ICloud pops- up constantly. My ICloud account is registered with an old email address and password. I do not remember the password to my ICloud account, and ID address that my ICloud account is registered under is an old email adress which is deleted right now (the old mail account is deleted). I don’t have a rescue email adress and I don’t know the answers to the security questions, so I have no way of changing the ICloud password. A message asking me to sign in to ICloud pops up constantly, but I always just hit cancel. However, now I am unable to access Find My IPad. How do I get my ICloud account changed and registered to be under my current Apple ID (email) and password? It is possible to set the device as New Ipad?
Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do. -

I lost my iPad and need to change my apple ID.
Hi Everyone
Please help before I hit my new mac with a sledge hammer!!
I recently lost my ipad and need to change my apple ID. When I go to the ID page it gives me the option of changing any of my details except my ID which does not have an edit button next to it. How can I change the ID itself and would I lose access to my existing apps if I did change it? I have spent hours signing out of every feature on both my mac and iphone but how can i do this from my now lost ipad and would it make any difference if i could? I am very confused and frustrated with all the apple jargon on the help pages and support communities. Please can somebody help by talking english to me??Why do you want to change the ID? If it's because you've lost your iPad just change the password so that the person now in posession of it can't get into your iCloud account.
If you really want to change the address which forms the ID you can do this at http://appleid.apple.com provided that it isn't an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address - if it's one of those that would explain why you don't have an 'edit' button and you can't change it.
It you were able to change the ID that won't affect your access to apps since the account itself remains the same, though of course the login has to be changed on every device signed into iCloud or iTunes.
If you are going to change either the ID or the password you must turn of 'Find My iPhone' on any device it is enabled on or you will find yourself in difficulties. -
Hello, if my apple id was changed on ipad, how do i change it back
if my apple id was changed on ipad, how do i change it back?
Go to Setrtings/Store and tap the indicated ID to sign out. Then sign in with the correct ID. Note that this will apply ONLY to new purchases.
ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them. Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password. Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another. -

I'm new to my iPad & Apple!
I have updated/ changed details within my Apple ID; email, contact details and changed password.
This has worked & recognised when using updated password for use with Apple's web site (e.g. Able to login to this site) & all other apps with the EXCEPTION of iCloud and also my actual iPad ("internal/own" software/OS I would presume?!).
Shortly after turning my iPad on, the Apple ID request pops up showing my old email address. I have tried entering old & new passwords which both fail. I now cancel this request and continue ok.
This also happens with iCloud: as just mentioned, the request for Apple ID comes up with old email address and neither old or new passwords are accepted (& therefore I can not back-up to iCloud).
Can anyone help please?
With anticipated appreciation and thanks,
NJohnR
(Maybe I should mention that while I live in the UK; Scotland, I am currently on holiday in France while I have made further changes to my ID password, though was at home when made initial changes).I have resolved this problem!
I try &change my email details within my iPad's iCloud settings. Though the primary (old) email could not be changed.
So I took advice from further searches here & on the iCloud site & went ahead and deleted my iCloud account. Success! Immediately after deleting the account I had a request to open & login to a new iCloud account with my new Apple ID login details already there (showing my new email address & requesting my password- all which worked fine). Also I have not lost any files.
I hope that this may help someone else in the future.
Happy Appleing all -
Apple wont change my iPad with a bad screen :( Anything I can do?
Today I received an email from apple that says my iPad "meets apple specifications for performance, usability, and functionality" even though it has a giant piece of dust under the screen (not the wallpaper, it's there when the screen is off). I am really upset about this especially considering all I've gone through to get a good one: I first got my iPad from the apple online store at the end of may, and noticed it had dust under the screen which made it look like a dead pixel. I'm in San Angelo and the closest store is in San Antonio, 194 miles away. I'm also on training status on the Air Force (Goodfellow AFB) and getting out of the base is extremely hard. I finally got permission and found somebody to lend me their car last week, and so I headed on the ridiciously long trip. After arriving to the La Cantera Parkway store I went in and they exchanged it for a refurbished one. When I go back to the base I see that it has a giant piece of dust under the screen on the lower right and is scratched on the upper left and on the dock connector. So i just wasted more than $100 on a trip for nothing. I call apple customer service and they say they will send me a box to ship it to them. I receive it and then I get my roommate to do it, because it's basically impossible for me because I can't bring mail to the facility where I am trained, and I can't just go where I want on the weekdays, and the only time I can actually walk around the base, on after duty hours, the post office is closed. Today I received two emails: one that says they received the iPad and another a few minutes ago saying it meets their performance so they wont change it. I can't even talk to customer service because they are closed and I cant in the morning because I have to wake up at 3:50am and cant have my cellphone till 5:00pm, by that time they'll have shipped it. This is really frustating, is there anything I can do? I'm thinking to sell it at a loss since exchanging it is just a giant hassle.
Really sorry to hear about your story .
Have you tried to call them again sometime? Try to express your anger about the issue and force them to find you a solution. I think Apple is nice and they do listen to their customers. You can always request to talk to their supervisor/manager. I am sure they will listen and find you a solution.
I was once succesful at nagging them to exchange my Macbook Pro faulty logic board (which costs about $2000AU) even my waranty is expried (2 years after I bought my MBP). And yes, they did it for me, really nicely.
Good luck and keep us updated, -
How do I associate my Ipad with a newly changed Apple ID?
How do I associate my Ipad with a newly changed Apple ID?

I have iPad 2 and recently changed my Internet Service Provider and email address. When I switch on the iPad I am asked for my password for
my previous providerwhich when entered is not acceptable. I am told to create a new passord but this only changes the password for my current
address. I am now unable to access iPad and I need to know how to circumvent this.Roger, thank you. I wish I had sent out this question a month ago, when I committed the folly of creating another apple id with my alternate email address. Since then, I had realized that I didn't seem to need it, hence today's post.
So now what do I do? Is there anyway to delete that unecessary apple id?
And it is even worse than that...the secondary address listed currently in our apple id is a mobile me one that my husband created, but never uses, never checks, and probably doesn't even remember the password for. -

If i accidentally dropped my ipad and screen is broken,does apple will change or fix it,my ipad is only 4 months
It will cost you approximately US$219.00 to US$299.00 depending on the model.
Apple will replace the entire iPad; they don't repair.
(If you have AppleCare Protection Plan, you will pay a lot less) -
We forgot Apple password, changed it. I can't get into Apple but my wife can get into it on her iPhone 5s and we can get into it on the ipad but I can't on my 4S. Any suggestions?
Hello there, pacase1.
From what I understand you've changed the password but can't login to a particular feature on your iPhone 4s. If that is the case, the following Knowledge Base article provides some good pointers to use depending on which feature/service you're trying to sign into on your iPhone:

If the issue is still with your password, feel free to review the following documentation:

My Apple ID changed back to an old ID when I installed last update on my iPhone 5s. How can I change it back to match what is on my MacBook Pro and iPad?
Hi GlendaGirl,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're unexpectedly seeing the incorrect Apple ID on your iPhone 5s. You can use these steps to sign out of iCloud on your iPhone 5s and sign in with the right Apple ID:
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account [Sign Out in iOS 8.] Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
