My old email/Apple ID  is showing up connected to the iCloud backup but I have long since changed my Apple ID to my new email address.  How can I update the iCloud so that I can pull the backup down to my new iPAD?

How do I redirect my iCloud to my new email address that has long since ALREADY been registered as my Apple ID

Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and then log back in with the updated version of your account

  • My i-cloud has an old email address, how can i change it?

    my i-cloud has an old email address, how can i change it? When I try to delete the account to set up a new one it keeps asking for the password that I dont have. What can I do?

    If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go 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.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account 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 and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    I Am trying to update my apps on my iPhone and it wouldn't let me and it had my user id as my old email from an old acct that I do not have anymore how do I change it back so I can down load my apps thanks

    You cannot, all content is tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them.
    Content from one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
    You need to recover your Apple ID for updates.

  • I am trying to update Apps and it is showing an old email address how can I change to my new email address?

    I am trying to update my apps and I need to change it to my new email how do I do that?

    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPhone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPhone. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

    All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and is not transferable.
    Delete app and download app with your new Apple ID.

  • My new mac book air will not show old emails.  how can i fix this problem

    my new mac book air will not show old emails.  how can i fix this problem

    The answer depends on a number of factors, such as the following:
    If you have more than one email account, does this problem affect one, some, or all of your accounts?
    Where did you last see this mail -- in your Inbox(es)? in some other folder(s) outside your Inbox(es)? somewhere else?
    How old is the missing email -- yesterday? just before you got the new computer? over a week? over a month? over a year?
    How are you reading email -- with the builtin Mail application? with some other mail-reading application? with a web browser?
    How do you access your email on the server -- IMAP? POP? Exchange? web browser? other?
    What version of OS X is on your new computer -- Mavericks (10.9.x)? Mountain Lion (10.8.x)?
    Did you migrate your data and applications from your old computer when you set up your new computer?
    For example, if the missing mail is the mail that was in your Inbox before you got the new computer, you are reading it with the builtin Mail via POP, and you failed to migrate data, then the mail was left behind on the old computer. The same would be true if the mail was in "On My Mac" mailboxes and you failed to migrate data.

  • I'm trying to update my apps but itunes is defaulting to an old deleted email address, how can I change it?

    I'm trying to update my apps on my ipad, but when I go to updates itunes has suddenly defaulted to an old deleted email address, how can I fix this? When I go into settings on my ipad the email address is correct, it's just itunes thats causing a problem. Can someone please help, I cant access the deleted email address and when I try to answer the security questions Apple is telling me that I have entered the incorrect date of birth.....I haven't forgotten my date of birth.... this is so frustrating. What can I do?????

    Is it a different account e.g. did you update your account with a new email address or did you create a new account ? If you updated your existing account then try logging out of the account by tapping on the id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in and see if the updated id then shows in the Purchased tab.
    If you created a new account then all apps (and any other content) downloaded by the old account will remain tied to the old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps (and/or redownload its purchases). If you can't remember its password, and can't get the security questions reset (you don't have a rescue email address on the account ?), then you have need to contact Support in your country to get the questions and password reset.

  • I've logged onto iTunes, but it's asking me security questions because it's a new device, and I'm getting the answers wrong, but iTunes wants to reset but send the new passwords to my ex partners email address how can I get round this.

    I believe part of the recovery process is you get an e-mail allowing you to reset questions.  If that e-mail isn't correct either because your son set it up then you really have no option but to ask Apple again.  They are getting strict abotu security and given the number of "My iTunes account got hacked" posts here I can guess why.  They have no way of knowing you really are the owner of the account.  It's like me going to a policeman and saying, "See that car over there?  That is mine, can you open the door for me?" and the police opening it on that basis alone.

    You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, if you can't get the password for that email account reset then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
