My Apple ID is not the same as my ICloud ID, i cant sign in Icloud, backup, or anything else, what should i do?

Hello guys.
I have a big problem - i want backup my old phone to transfer everything to my new iphone.
I cant do that because my Icloud ID is different from my Apple ID,
for example -
Apple ID - [email protected]
Icloud ID - [email protected]
I know my Apple ID password, and its work fine, but my Icloud password, i dont remember.
i tried contact APPLE support chat, but its not possible, and i cant schedule a call because my english low and i wont understand.

Hi guy_avitan8,
After reviewing your post it seems you are unable to access your iCloud account due to a forgotten password. You can reset your iCloud password by following the steps in the article below:
iCloud: Change your iCloud password
Your iCloud password protects the privacy of the information (such as your email) stored in iCloud. Your password also protects your ability to locate or remotely erase your device using Find My iPhone. You should regularly change your iCloud password to protect your information. Your iCloud password is the password for the Apple IDyou use to sign in to iCloud.
Important:   If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud as you do with other Apple services such as the Apple Online Store, iTunes Store, App Store, or to purchase products in iPhoto or Aperture, changing your iCloud password also changes your password for these services. Make sure you sign in to those locations using your new password.
Go to the My Apple ID website (appleid.apple.com) and follow the instructions to reset your Apple ID password.
For more information, see the Apple Support article Apple ID: Changing your password.
After changing your iCloud password, make sure you update it on all your devices and in any email apps you use to get your iCloud email.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > iCloud, then tap your iCloud account.
On a Mac: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
On a Windows computer: Open iCloud for Windows.
In your email apps: Check the help provided for the email apps you’re using.
If you set up iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, make sure to set up a passcode lock on your device for added security. (Go to Settings > Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode.)
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

  • Apple ID is not the same as iCloud ID and I need to activate my phone.

    So my phone pooed itself and I had to reset it. That did not help and so I had to erase all of my settings. Upon getting to the activation page, it says that  my apple ID is not the same as my iCloud ID....although that is the only ID that I have ever used for my phone.
    Is there any way that I can remove my phone off of the iCloud and then proceed through activation a different way?
    Thank you very much for the help!

    No.  In order to reactivate your device have to provide the ID and password that were used to activate it originally.  If you are not the original owner, you will have to contact the original owner to either get the ID and password, or have him/her erase the device and remove it from their account as explained here: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account.  If you cannot contact the original owner you will not be able to activate and use your device.  No one else can help you with this and there is no way around it.

  • Hacked? Received a email from friend, turns out it was not from him, just using his name, I changed my password to my mail anything else I should do. Thanks

    My contact list was hacked? Received a email from relative, but when I opened it,it wasn't from him but an advertisement , I changed my password to that email account, anything else I should do? Not really sure how it happened. Thanks for any help.

    While he should probably change his password just to be on the safe side, it's unlikely he's actually been hacked. It's a common spammers' practice to forge the 'From' address on a spam email so that any bounced or attempts to contact go to an oinicent party. It's very easy to do and while it's annoying it's harmless (except that it worries recipients who know the person involved). He may very well get bounced messages he hasn't sent as a result.
    There isn't really anything he can do about it - it will stop after a bit as the spammers move on to another victim's address.

  • I can't log into to my icloud because it asks for apple id but then says that apple id is not the same as the icloud id

    I just signed up for icloud.  I previously had itunes on my old computer.When I went to sign up to icloud it told me my password was wrong so I changed it.  When I went to sign into icloud (after installed)  It told me I have to log in using my Apple Id in order to get into Icloud but when I do that, this message comes up : 
    Can not sign in
    This Apple Id is valid but is not an icloud account.
    From what I have read your Apple Id is your icloud Id.  Help, I don't know what to do?  I just want to back up pictures from a phone that someone gave me and that I will be having blanked out when it gets turned on by new provider.
    I am able to log on in here but for some reason can't get into my icloud...help is appreciated, thank you.

    Well, it does say on http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html in step 1: "To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
    If you're trying to back up your device to iCloud, that doesn't have anything to do with your computer.  You back up to iCloud over wifi.  All you do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, scroll down and tap Storage & Backup, then turn on iCloud Backup.  You can then tap Back Up Now at the bottom to start the back up manually, or lock the screen and connect it to your charger and it will back up automatically every day.
    Enabling the iCloud control panel on your PC only allows you to sync your iCloud data with your PC, not to back up your device to iCloud.

  • My iPhone is not the same as my iTunes account so i cannot sync it or i will lose what i have on my iPhone

    my iphone doesn't have the same stuff on it as my itunes account. when i plug it in it wants to take off the stuff i have on my phone

    Is there a question in there somewhere?
    You can only sync to one computer. One thing you might try though, is log out of the computer with the other account (wife's?) and log in with yours, then sync.

  • After delete the skype ipod from my ipad the only thing i see is the apple sign i can not see anything els what should i do

  • My iPhone Apple ID is not the same as my home computer Apple ID. This seems to cause iTunes to tell me that certain purchases can't be synced, reason unauthorized. The authorize function under Store says that the computer is authorized. What to do to sync

    The home computer iTunes will not let me sync certain apps bought directly from iTunes with the iPhone. The two ID's (home Apple id and iPhone id) are not identical. The Store 'Authorize' function tells me that the computer is authorized. How do I get all apps to sync across all devices (I also have an iPad). Thanks.

    you need to be signed in on both devices to teh apple id that the apps were bought on to sign out on the device go to settings>store >tap on apple id >choose sign out>tap on sign in, to sign out on the comp click on stre at top>sign out >sign back in with the correct apple id

  • Apple ID for iTunes and iCloud are not the same?  How to change iCloud id

    My wife changed her Apple ID via her iTunes account.  Her iCloud account is set up on her old email address and she cannot access it, therefore the Cloud is not syncing.  How can I get the iCloud account to work?  Was the iCloud account changed when she switched her Apple ID and with the same password?

    She will need to sign out completely in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud and then sign back in with the new ID.

  • How do I get my icloud login and apple ID to be the same?

    My login and apple ID for all my deivces match.  It is just when I login to the iCloud.com where the Apple ID is not the same...  kinda wierd

    Hello there SciFii,
    I recommend logging into http://appleid.apple.com with the Apple ID that you use on your devices. What you are looking for is the email address that you log into icloud.com with. If it is there, then great! You can use either one to log into your devices, or icloud.com.
    If it is not there and the email you use at icloud.com is its own Apple ID, then I need to point out this section of the iCloud FAQ:
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • I am trying to read my iMessages from my iPhone 4S on my iPad 2, but the messages do not show up on my iPad 2. I made sure that the receiving email address is the same on both devices and both are signed into my single Apple account.

    Is it possible that the person who sent the message to your phone sent it to your phone # instead?  Try sending a message to your phone via the email address and see if it shows up on the iPad.

  • I'm trying to reinstall Mavericks on used Macbook Pro. When I log in to my Apple ID, it says it was not the same ID used to purchase Mountain Lion. I need to change user/admin as a lot of the folders and apps are in Chinese!

    The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able toauthorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

  • HT5312 how do i reset my admin password, my apple iD password is NOT the same as my admin login password

    all ive been seeing is that i can reset my password with my apple iD, but its not the same. and it doesnt do the command R thing or the terminal/utilities thing. so what do i do??

    Phil,
    First of all, to log in as the HTML DB administrator, you want to use a different page, one that ends in /pls/htmldb/htmldb_admin Try logging in there. If that doesn't work, see this thread about creating a new admin account:

  • My iPhone serial number and IMEI is not the same as Apple server

    Hello,
    My problem started when I want to unlock my iphone 3gs via Imei.
    My old iphone broke about a month after i bought it (it was 2 years ago), so i sent it to Movistar to change it (i think that they sent it to appleCare). Now Movistar told me that i have to send the old iphone imei in order to unlock the iphone i have now, i ask apple for the repair order receipt, then i received an email and i could see the information about the 2 iphones: the old broken one and the new one.
    Then I realized that the iphone they sent me as a replacement (the new one) is not the same iphone i have. The serial number and the Imei are different, so, should apple change this data in their server in order to unlock my iphone or what can i do to solve it?
    There is any formal way to perform this data change?
    Thank you in advance,
    Francisco Marzabal

    Here we work with repairs for devices that does not have waranty (expired or other issue). In this case, I did the screen replacement. No other ipad was on my station, the ipad arrives, i took it change the glass, put everithing back, give to customer. Thats it. The job was done by me, the customer test his ipad in front on me, works fine, everything ok. Few days pass and he came back saying that it wasn't his ipad, he brings the box that the ipad came and ask me why the serial number does not match the serial number in the box (sorry NOT in the back of the ipad).
    There were no other part changed only glass. After 7 years working on this, thats the first customer complaining about a work done here. After this I was curious and look for more information and some forums, also one port here is claiming that the serial number on the device is not the same as the box where it came.
    I just want to make sure that there are possibilities that there could be such mistake during the packaging process.
    Thanks for the replies
