My iCloud password is not recognized when I sign in. This password works for every other iTunes/Apple app as it should. My user name comes up when I open iCloud and I change it to my email address as my username then enter the password and it won't accept

All i want to do is sync my phone to iCloud.

Hello jwpg,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing after restoring an iCloud backup. I recommend the following articles for an issue like this:

When I opened up Internet Explorer, IE eraced all my email addresses from foxfire and put them on internet explorer. How do I put them back on foxfire?

Hi mary200077,
So you are saying all of your favorites are in IE but not in Firefox? Don't worry, that's an easy fix! Just take a look at the [[Importing favorites and other data from Internet Explorer]] and you'll be set! Post back here if you have any issues.
Hopefully this helps!

HT1430 Trouble getting email on my ipad. I have deleted and re-added the original email address in Settings. Then restarted the ipad. Still continue to get the endless cycling when I try to get on my yahoo email account. Does anyone have a fix for this

Trouble getting my email on my ipad. I have tried deleting the account and red-adding it. Then shutting down the ipad and starting it up again. Any help on what else I can do to get it to work once again??

No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
That would depend on what you are trying to do.

Zen V not recognised when plugged into laptop and it won't turn

Hi,
I just recently discovered this issue after not using my Zen V for a good month or so. Basically when I plugged it into my USB port it isn't recognised - all the software is installed yet it comes up saying new hardware was found with the name "STMP3600" and asks to to insert a disc and install the software. I remember seeing the software CD recently, but I'm experiencing that horrid feeling when you can see it at the front of your mind but you can't seem to quite grasp where it is :smileyvery-happy: I looked on this site but the only downloads are the Recovery programme (says I've not got anything plugged in) and the firmware (can't update if PC says nothing is connected).
I also can't turn it on; normally when its flat it turns on to the 'Creative' screen then flashes up with a battery warning sign and the words 'Low Battery' but this time its not the case. I tried slotting in a thin piece of metal and reseting & turning it on at the same as it recommends to get the internal recovery mode but no joy.
I can't send an email as I can't find the documents with the purchase date (it was from Amazon) and the serial code; I know it was some time in mid 2007 as I purchased it in my final year of University. Can you guess where that paper-work would be?
If anyone can give me some ideas of what to do, I would be very grateful! (And I will continue looking for my CD).

My ipad will not connect to my wi-fi, which is working for my other laptop.?

What can I do??

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

How do I change my iCloud ID on my iPhone which an email address that no longer exists

How do I change my iCloud ID on my iPhone which an email address that no longer exists

Welcome to the Apple community.
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, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

TS3988 I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud?

I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?

Same question Wish someone had replied!
I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple!

It does have to be a verifiable email address though, you can change it here:

Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Several years ago I had an itunes account through my work email address. I have since left the company. When I tried to access the itunes I purchased, my password would not work because I no longer had access to that acct. How can I access that acct?

Several years ago I had an itunes account through my work email address. I have since let the company but when I tried to access the songs I'd already purchased, my password would not work because that account no longer existed. I ended up having to open another account but how can I access that account to retrieve my other songs? I realize I can't transfer between accounts but maybe at least burn to CD?

Hello, RSchultz13.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can reset your Apple ID password via the steps in the first article below. I would try the option to answer your security questions. If those steps do not work then you may need to reach out to our account security team to reset this old Apple ID password. Once this is done you should be able to access your old DRM protected purchases.

Welcome to the Apple community mohinderjeet.
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.
