Need help big time. I need to change my apple ID but the original email address I set it up under is no longer used so i can't get my proper password sent to me. I don't want to set up a new account and lose all my old apps I have purchased.
need help. Before I set up my I-pad i need to regain access to my I-Tunes account, easy enough. The problem is I cannot re-set password. I have tried to re-set and send to my designated email but it does not work. How can i get someone from Apple on the phone to help?
Have you forgotten your password? - if so, you have a problem if the email address has gone dead.
If you know your password, go to the iTunes Store, click on Account. log in and you can change the associated email address.
If you don't know your password, and have no email address, you are going to have problems because it's difficult to see how Apple are going to identify you as the authorised owner of the account. Contact iTunes Support: go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them.

Had to change Apple ID due to email address no longer valid. Trying to change id for icloud...saw direction online about signing out of icloud and signing back in...when it ask questions about contacts, photos, etc. being deleted how do I answer those? That just sort of freaks me out.
For the ones that give you an option, select the option you want (keep on the Mac or Delete). For the ones that are simply warning you, click on Delete from Mac.
They will all come back when you sign back on, since all you did was change your existing Apple ID to a new email address. It's the same iCloud account, just with a different name.
It's the only way to get your updated ID signed onto iCloud.

I'm getting a message that says itunes cannot run b/c some required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes. I'm scared to because I don't want to lose my music.
Reinstalling iTunes simply replaces the application. It shouldn't affect your media. You do have backups, right?

I've changed my Apple ID, but the iPod still insists on my old ID, and the old password no longer works, so how I do I get the old ID to vanish and be able to use the new ID?
- Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into new account.
NOTE
- 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. -
I recently changed my apple ID but the old on is still on my iCloud account. The old address is dimmed on iCloud on my iPad so I can't change it. How do I change to the new address? I don't want to delete the account as I don't want to lose the pictures
To change it, you have delete the existing account. However you can avoid losing any pictures in the process. To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. (Camera roll photos are not effected by deleting the account.)
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in. -
I changed my apple id but the applie id for icloud did not change on my mac in system preferences.
I have changed my apple id on system preferences under users and groups but the icloud preferences don't pick up the change.
I restarted my computer, and still no change.
I have been using icloud under my old apple id for mail calendars and notes.
How do I get icloud account information to change on my mac's system preferences and match my new apple id?
I am missing something.
Please help. Thanks.Thank you Roger, your solution gave me the courage to sign out of Systems Preferences. The pop up told me it was going to delete my contact and other information from my mac, so I was hesitant to do that. Well I did as you directed and I was able to sign in with my new apple id and I did not lose the information the pop up threatened I was going to. So again thank you. It is the little things that make a big difference sometimes.

I did not do my research before changing my Apple ID from an outdated email address to a current one. I just changed and verified and though I was all set. WRONG! Now I cannot sign in to iCloud because it will not let me enter the new Apple ID. I read the 10/30/13 randers4 post to just change your Apple ID back then sign in and change it to the new email address again and then you can sign in, but I cannot change back to the prior email address Apple ID because that is no longer an active email account (or at least not mine). Any thoughts on how to get signed into iCloud when it does not allow me to type in the new Apple ID and the old Apple ID no longer exists.
I see that many people have asked, but no one has come up with a solution that I found.
Thanks for any help!This did not work for me. My old email account for iCloud still pops up on my screen every time I open my macbook. I've deleted it, reset it, every thing I can think of and it still shows up. I think six months of this is more than enough time to wait.

I have changed my Apple ID but the account info on iCloud is still referencing the old ID. How do I change the iCloud account details?
If you simply renamed your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account. This will delete the account from your phone (but not from iCloud) as well as any synced data. But provided you are signing back into the same account (just with a new name) it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in. Then set up your iCloud account with the new ID name and turn syncing back on. If you have photos in your photo stream album that are older than 30 days that you don't have anywhere else, you will need to save these to your camera roll before deleting the account. To do this, open your photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If, however, you are changing to a new ID you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (Be sure to save any photo stream photos to your camera roll prior to deleting the account, as mentioned above.) Next, set up a new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account. -
I changed my email address a few years ago. I did not have any problems after this change until I got a new computer. Now I cannot play items that were purchased under the previous email. I entered the password that I used and it doesn't recognize it. I tried "forgot your password" in every combination possible. I never received any emails at the old email address. Now the old email address no longer even exists. How can I access these hundreds of items?
The old email address may well still be valid as your iTunes AppleID, however if you have no other email associated with that ID you clearly won't get any automated emails to it.
I still use an old defunct email for my iTunes AppleID.
Contact support here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/
You may want to try to manage the old ID here:
https://appleid.apple.com/
Use the original email address and password.

I have iOS 10.7.5 and if i update to Mountain lion 10.8.2 will i lose all my old applications i've purchased and other software i've downloaded? and what is time machine ?
No. You will not lose any of the applications and data will be safe.
But make sure that you have working backup. This is very important.
Time Machine is the built-in backup software/application.
Best. -

I have changed my apple ID but the phone has not updated and I cant see how to change it
You can log out of your account on the iPhone by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and you can then log back in with the updated version - if you created a new account as opposed to updating the existing account then your current content will remain tied to the old account and it can't be copied or transferred to the new one.

I wrote a few days ago about this and was told that gathering
information from a form using Post as the method and having the
results emailed to someone wasn't a good idea and that it didn't
work very well. People basically told me to investigate scripting
or hiring someone, or use a pay service like MailChimp. None of
these are options for me right now, I absolutely have to get this
site done tonight and the person I'm doing it for will not pay for
a service.
The client wants to have a form on his site to collect email
addresses so he can compile them into a mailing list to send out
infrequent emails notifying people of upcoming events he's putting
on. He's a local artist with a very modest following, nothing big
time. I have no idea about databasing or MySql, and the person
doesn't want to pay for a service, so basically I'm stuck doing it
the "unreliable" way.
Can someone walk me through how to do this in Dreamweaver? I
assume I add a form field, and put a text field and submit button
inside of it. Here's my questions, to get this to work and use the
mailto: thing, what do I put for...
Form Field: Name, Action, Method, Target, Enctype
Text Field: Name
Button: Type, Name, ID, Value
Any help would be greatly appreciated by one stressed out,
hack web designer, thanks!If this client doesn't want to pay for a service then tell
him the best
you can do is gather INDIVIDUAL emails from his site and have
them
emailed to their email address. Then it's up to them to mail
out to
their modest following INDIVIDUALLY.
Basically you put a form on the site to collect the email
address of the
user. Like this:
<form name="emailForm" method="post"
action="formmail.php">
<p><label for="email">Enter email
address</label><br>
<input type="text" id="email" name="email"> </p>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
You would then need to send the submitted form to a formmail
script
which will then send it on to the clients email address.
A free script named Formmail does exist if you search for it
in google
under Free formmail script
You would need to alter the script as per the instructions
which should
come with it and then upload it to your cgi-bin assuming you
have one on
your server.
You then point the form at the script by filling in the
action attribute
like:
<form name="emailForm" method="post"
action="
http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/formmail.cgi">
I no longer use formmail because it can be a bit of an issue
to set up
for beginners.
I now tend to use server side scripting like php to gather
the
information. IF you have php running on your server then
NateMail is
FREE and very very simple script to set up. It comes with
clear pdf
instructions that will do the job in about 10-15mins.

Any ideas
Leave the iPhone alone for a minute and go to your PC/Mac. Try and set up the Apple ID on there (again leaving the iPhone to sit and look pretty for a while). Check your emails (not on the iPhone) and see if you are receiving the email into your inbox that way, if you aren't make sure you have put the correct email address in the App store. If you are definitley sure you are putting the correct email address in go to the web interface for your email provider (e.g. hotmail or yahoo) and check the junk mail folders etc.
Do all the above whilst the iPhone is sat around, don't do any of the above on the iPhone. If you manage to crack it and get the email address verified and your account up and running just log in to the App Store on your iPhone once it's all done -
I cannot update my apps on my iPhone 3. I think it's because I've discovered I have 2 Apple ID's, the original one for iTunes from 2009, and another one I used more recently. I think I must have changed my Apple ID to the more recent email, but my iPhone does not accept any password for the new ID. I have tried changing back but cannot. I have reset passowrds on both ID's 6 or 7 times, but that does not work either. I read I cannot undo an Apple ID, so I have 2, but they are mixed up. Help?
Did you purchase or download the apps with your old ID? Apps are tied to the ID that is was purchased from.
If it is a new app you bought with your new ID, you can go into settings - appstore- apple id and then log out.
