My ipod is using an old email account for icloud the email no longer excists so i cant log in, what do i do?

i am trying to reset my brothers ipod touch to factory settings and to delete all of the data so that we can sell the ipod, but we were originally using an old apple id account that now no longer exists, our email was with a company (optus) that we were using but we are not with optus anymore so that email no longer exists, we are now using gmail for our new apple id and there have been no troubles logging in with our new apple id, although we are trying to log into icloud on the ipod touch so that we can turn off 'find my ipod' so that we can restore the ipod, but its asking for the old apple id password which does not exist anymore, the email also does not exist so i cant reset the password or anything, what do i do? please help i have tried many things but nothing seems to work

Then you will probably need to contact Apple for assistance resetting the password for the old ID by contacting the Apple account security team:  Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security, or by by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.  You can also get assistance by email by contacting iTunes store support:https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • I do not receive notifications for my email account even though the email setting in Notifications is turned on. How can I fix this?

    In iOS 5 I do not receive notifications for my email account even though  the email setting in Notifications is turned on. I do receive other notifications. Does anyone have any suggestion on what is wrong or how I should correct it? Thanks.

    Hey M0904,
    I found the following information regarding troubleshooting notifications, I'd run through them and see if they resolve the issue:
    iOS: Understanding Notifications
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3576
    Troubleshooting notifications
    Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection. If you are not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
    Verify that the app supports notifications.
    After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app at least once to begin receiving notifications.
    If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
    Check Settings > Notifications to ensure that the app is configured for notifications.
    If notifications do not appear only in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
    If you are still unable to receive notifications and you are using a Wi-Fi connection, verify that the network or firewall is not blocking access to port 5223.
    Have a good one,
    David

  • How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone only

    How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone6 only.  I don't want to change my ipad or my husband's iphone6.  Currently all 3 devices have the same gmail account associated with them.  I have created a new & separate apple id and I want that on my phone but I can't figure out how to delete his email from my phone.

    To change iCloud accounts you have to go to Settings>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your other ID to create your new account.  If you want to migrate a copy of the iCloud data to the new account, start by saving 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 Image.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud 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 new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted.  Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data to your new account.  Once you are on a separate account you can go to iCloud.com and delete your husband's data from your account (and he can do the same with yours).
    Just be aware that the current @icloud.com email address cannot be moved to the new account, nor can the current my photo stream album (which is why you need to save any my photo stream photos you want to keep to your iPhone before signing out of the existing account).

  • How to set a new email account for iCloud?

    How set a new email account for iCloud?

    There are two separate things you can do.
    You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account, and if it has @mac.com or @me.com versions these cannot be reinstated once deleted.
    More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    Or if you want a completely separate account you will have to create a new iCloud account and sign into it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars. Note that any one device can create only three iCloud accounts.

  • I have changed the email account for icloud but my sistem preferences windows is blocked on the previous email account

    I have changed the email account for icloud but the sistem preferences window is blocked on the previous email account and it does't work.
    The sistem preferences window doesn't accept no one passwords.

    You will need to sign out completely in System Preferences>iCloud (click the 'Sign Out' button) and sign back in again with the new ID.

    How do I verify my email account for Icloud if I try to open the link and it marks "not found"

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
    Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account 
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

  • How do I delete an email account, but keep the email?

    I have an email account from ISP that I no longer use.  I want to delete the account, but I don't want to lose the email.  How do I delete the account and save all of the email?
    Can I create a folder and move all of the email from the account I want to delete to the folder?  From what I've read so far the email would still be deleted from that folder.
    This seems like it would be a common occurrence with a lot of people, so I'm surprised that there is not an solution from Apple.  Apple indicates that if an email account is deleted you will lose all of the mail.  There should be an option when you delete the account that asks "Do you what to keep all of the email from this account? Yes/No".  If yes then the system automatically saves email to an archive folder or something similar.
    Hopefully there is an easy workaround solution.

    Create a new "On My Mac" mailbox and move the messages to it. Then delete the account.

  • When I bought my iPhone 5s I set up the email account for iCloud with a Shaw Cable address. Shaw was my ISP. I changed ISP's which rendered my iCloud email account as useless. I did reset my AppleID but it didn't change for iCloud. How can I change?

    Ok so now I right the novel. Haha.
    I bought my iPhone 5s and set up the AppleID for iCloud to be the same as the Apple ID I already used for iTunes and the App store. I was using @shaw.ca as part  of the emaill address. I changed my ISP to save money so had to change the Apple ID. I had no issues changing it for iTunes and the App store, but it wouldn't change for iCloud. I don't recall the password and can't have it sent to me as that address does not work any longer.
    What do I do to get my AppleID for iCloud working again?

    Yes, you understood correctly.  From your explanation, you created your hotmail.ca ID by revising the shaw.ca ID.  Given that, you should perform the steps listed in my original post:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished goThen go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • I set up an email account with icloud. the directions say that the version needs to be 10.75 or greater.  Mine is 10.68, does that mean the icloud account will not work with my version?

    Iset up an icloud email account but the instructions say that It needs to be 10.75 or higher. does that mean I cannot have an Icloud Email account?

    You can use the iCloud mail address, but you can't use the rest of the iCloud services.

  • How can i remove the email account without deleting the email account?

    Hi
    I have an old email account which I want to remove from Mail, which I know how to do.  However I don't want to delete these emails but rather park them off-site so that if I ever need them again I can easily re-import.  By removing the email account in preferences it says it will delete all the emails etc. from my computer.  Is my only solution to copy the emails to a different location, then delete the account and if needed re-import at a later date?
    Thanks
    David

    You can do a couple of things.
    You can Export the emails to a .mbox file then Import them in which will create an Import folder in Mail; then delete your email account. Or you can just disable the email account leaving it in your list of accounts only disabled.

  • How do I set up my email accounts for my three email addresses plus my iCloud address so they are deleted after 2 weeks

    I am a Mac iPhone, iPad2 and an iMac user and need a good way to erase messages on all of the devices so I don't have to do it on all three. I thing there is a good way to do it under 'mail preferences' but haven't figured it out yet.
    Thanks for your help - Susan

    Under advanced settings in each of the mail accounts, there should be an option to remove deleted messages after one day, one week, one month.  To get to the setting differs a little depending on the email account.  But it goes something like this: Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar.  Tap name of applicable account.  Tap "Account". Tap "Advanced".  Tap "Remove".

  • Unable to verify email account for iCloud

    I've created my iCloud account and now when I go to the iCloud option in settings I receive the "Account Not Verified" message. I don't remember ever receiving an email from Apple to verify my email address when I initially set up my iCloud account. Please help.

    I think, I have the same situation as he is.  Where do we go to verify the activation e-mail for iCould?

  • One email account sends and receives emails, the other does not

    I have two different email accounts set up on my phone. They both worked, until I had my phone was serviced and wiped clean. Now one account sends and receives and the other does not. I have tried everything from deleting the account on the phone and rebooting, to changing my password. When I reactivate the account I get a message saying  "activation server" and that messages will be forwarded within 20 minutes and they never come. I'm not sure what else to try.

    Hello dalite and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    Sorry to hear you are having email issues.
    What type of email are you unable to receive - Gmail? Hotmail? Internet Service Provider hosted email?
    What is your BlackBerry PIN to investigate? 
    When you go to send an email using this account, do you get an error? Are you able to select this email account for sending an email?
    Thanks!
