HT5622 Help I changed my apple ID cannot access icloud

I changed my apple id to a new email address and now I cannot get into icloud on my phone or ipad how do I resolve this?

settings - icloud - delete account - then sign in with your new id.
Or if you want access to the icloud account, you'll need to sign in with the old apple id.

Changed my Apple ID, cannot access iCloud on my MAc now because it doesn't give me the option to change to my new apple ID

I have changed my Apple ID. I figured out how to access iCloud on my iPhone now by deleting it and adding it back. However on my computer it does not let me type in the new apple ID, as a result, nothing is geting backed up. how do i correct so it reflects my new apple ID?

Ipad - cannot access icloud account

Daughter setup icloud account at initial setup and cannot remember password, not 100% certain of username either - cannot retrieve password as goes to that icloud account when resetting. I have a primary apple id we use for all devices so this should be a secondary one - cannot log in under primary id either...
Can I do a reset? It just sits at activate ipad screen

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, unless you know the Apple ID, there is absolutely nothing that can be done, you cannot use your mobile device. You may be able to find your Apple ID at Look up your old and forgotten Apple ID

I recently changed my Apple ID. When I try to change my iCloud account on my Mac. I cannot access the account. I've changed the password once already. Any suggestions? My iPhone's account is fine.

I recently changed my Apple ID. When I try to make changes to my iCloud account on my Mac., I cannot access the account via System Preferences. I've changed the password once already. My iPhone's iCloud account is fine. At this point my iCloud account no longer is working with my Mac. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Cannot access icloud, cannot verify account

With my current apple activie and able to log in to itunes and other apple website, I cannot access icloud with error message "check your email xxx for instructions on how to verify your account. But checking email, no email was sent.

Hey Edgew7,
Thanks for the question. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
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.
Thanks,
Matt M.

HT5622 valid apple id but not icloud account. I tried downloading on a different computer and logging in and it did not work. I have restarted my computer several times. I have changed my password several times. I have tried to access the icloud page.

repeating error message reads: "valid apple id but not icloud account." when trying to start my icloud account. I tried downloading on a different computer and logging in and it did not work. I have restarted my computer several times. I have changed my password several times. I have tried to access the icloud page. Nothing has worked. Now I have this stupid app and some of my music is still not being shared on both of my computers.

I have the same problem signing in...but, I finally got a screen saying you have to set up a account on a device..like an ipad to get a iCloud sign in ...my apple id is [email protected] and this screen reset to [email protected]
If you don't have an apple device you may be out of luck. I don't know. I'm still waiting for help just as you are...good luck to both of us though.

Cannot access iCloud because I don't have the primary email and password I originally set it up with. Is there any way to remove this primary username and password without either the email address and the password?

How do I delete an old iCloud username and password. I have neither of them anymore and cannot access icloud to change settings. Set up a second username and password but icloud still won't rcognize the my birthdate and security questions answers I've answed. hope somebody else has had this problem. Thanks

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.

Not recieving email verification, cannot access Icloud'

not recieving email verification, cannot access Icloud'

Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. Check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

Can someone who has NO Apple products get an iCloud account?

Can someone who has NO Apple products get an iCloud account? I cannot find a clear answer.
Now with the just-announced iWorks Beta for iCloud, I'm wondering if non-Apple product users will have access to it, similar to the way that anyone can use Google Docs?
It would make my life easier if anyone could qualify for a limited account and we could share our work. It would probably lead to more Mac, iPhone, and iPad sales as well.

This article gives the minimum system requirements for iCloud: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759. What it doesn't clarify is that you can't create an account on a PC. This is shown in step 2 of this guide: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html, where it says you enter the ID you used to create the account; meaning, it must first be created on an iOS device or Mac. If you don't, when you try to create it on a PC you will get an error message saying you entered a valid Apple ID, but not an iCloud ID.

Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when i enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username

Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.

HT204053 I have one apple ID and 2 iCloud accounts...is there a way to consolidate these accounts?

I have one apple ID , but two icloud accounts....not even sure why i have 2 now....might have happened when i got my iPad last year. Is there a way to consolidate the two icloud accounts without losing my contacts or other info?

Each iCloud account has a separate ID. You can't have two accounts with the same ID.
If you want to consolidate them, choose the device with the account on it that you want to abandon, then save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with the account that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your other account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide your password (if using iOS 7) and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then sign into the account you want to merge with and choose Merge when prompted.
You cannot move iCloud email accounts between iCloud accounts so you will have to leave it behind. You can set email forwarding to the new email account, or add the email account back to your devices as a secondary account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCoud, signing in to the account and enabling Mail. Email in this secondary account will only be fetched periodically as push email is only supported in your primary account.

2. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

HT4436 is there a way to change the apple ID on an Icloud account? I used to share everything with my daughter but she's old enough we need to separate the accounts.. I would like to "give" the ICloud account to her, because all of her games are on it.

Is there a way to change the apple ID on an Icloud account? I would like to "give" an ICloud account to my daughter. We used to share one, but she's getting older I would like to split our accounts. She has her own Apple ID but since all her games are on this ICloud account, I would like to give it to her and start my own.

You can migrate your device and a copy of the iCloud data to a new account. To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your daughter's device won't be effected by this), choose Keep on My iPad and provide the password when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data.
Once you are on separate accounts you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
The existing iCloud email account cannot be moved to your new account so you will need to give your contacts your new email address if you are giving the account to your daughter.
