Need help with iCloud on my iPhone

I bought a new iMac and decided it was time to update my Apple ID to my newest email address. When I started to do that, I was also required to change my password because it was "too weak."  I did that, no problem.  Updated my ID, no problem.  On my iPhone 5, I changed my Apple ID, updated my email and iTunes.  However, when I tried to update the iCloud on my iPhone, I can't.  I have searched the forums and it seems that if I can delete the iCloud account from my phone that should allow me to correct it.  PROBLEM: iPhone shows the old email address as the ID for iCloud.  I am required to enter my password for the ID because Find My iPhone requires it to be turned off (deleted).  When I enter the password, it says invalid ID or password.  I tried both passwords, old and new. That didn't work.  Apparently it is the ID that is wrong.  I guess I should have deleted it before I changed the ID and password?  Any suggestions?  What if I reset my iPhone to default settings?  Will that delete iCloud?  Or is there a way to turn off Find My iPhone without the password?

If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, 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.  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 iPhone, 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 iPhone 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.

  • Need help with icloud, FIND MY IPHONE, google maps

    I pull up icloud on my computer, see all my iphones that are on listed but when I go to test the FIND MY IPHONE, all I see is the iphone I chose and a "CAN'T SHOW LOCATION, GOOGLE MAPS IS NOT AVAILABLE".  How do I make it available?  I have google earth downloaded on my notebook and it works on my desktop computer but not on my laptop.  I have hit "display content" on the alert bar but I get nothing.

    I had the same problem when I used Firefox as my browser; problem went away when I used IE instead.

    Sorry.
    The iPhone is of no use until/unless the previous owner removes it from their account.
    You will need to find the prior owner or return the iPhone.

    You've posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not appear to be related to. You'll get better support responses by posting to either the iTunes for Mac or iTunes for Windows forum. Which ever is more appropriate for your situation.

  • I need help with iCloud and restoring

    I have an app and in order to transfer the account of the app, it says: "If you still have your old device, please sync/back up your account to either iTunes or iCloud. Next, sync your new device with either iTunes or iCloud and restore data."
    I have no idea what to do with iCloud. I have my old iPhone 5 and I would like to transfer my account to my iPhone 5c. I don't have an iTunes setup for either of these devices. I just recently backed up all my pictures and videos and data into iCloud on my iPhone 5c. I have two different iCloud accounts, one for my iPhone 5 and one for my iPhone 5c. If I were to sync my old device and restore the data onto my new device, will it restore ALL the data? Will it delete any data from my old device or my new device? Can i just restore the data for one app? If possible, how?
    The thing is that I dont need or want any data from my old device or than the account/data from that one app onto my new iPhone 5c.
    Also, my iPhone 5c has the latest iOS. But my iPhone 5 still doesn't even have iOS 7, will this affect anything? Should I update it to iOS 7.0.3?

    Try to delete your account from your device (Settings > iCloud) and then set it up again. This fixes the problem in most cases.

  • Just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS7 and need help with iCloud

    I just updated my phone but my iCloud is still showing my AppleID from 6 months ago. I tried to delete the account and start over, but its insisting that I input my password (to the old ID) so that I may turn off Find My iPhone. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.

    No longer applies, since the iOS 7 version you install OTA or thru iTunes today is the full official version. No longer a beta.
    As mentioned above, Restore-ing the phone from a recent backup will only load the DATA, not the apps or the system. And only data that does not conflict with what the new system has.
    Apps may or may not be automatically restored from iTunes' App Library backup, provided they don't conflict with iOS 7. Many times you have to go about restoring manually, maybe after updating to iOS 7 compatible releases.

  • NEED HELP WITH BACKING UP AN IPHONE 3 TO RETRIEVE INFO FROM AN IPHONE 4 BACKUP ON ICLOUD

    hi my iphone 4 and 5 were recently stolen.. i have an iphone 3 to get me outa trouble, can i back up my **** from the 4 to the 3 on icoud or is the 3 too outa date?
    current phone details...
    iphone 3 (32GB)

    Presumably your two stolen iPhones were running the current iOS version - iOS 7.
    An iPhone 3 cannot run iOS 7.
    So it cannot recover an iPhone 4 or iPhone 5 backup.

    How the lock works is explained by Find My iPhone Activation Lock and Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner's account.
    On YouTube you will find some videos helping bypassing the lock and get access to the contacts. With some luck you can contact the previous owner and force him to remove the iPhone from the devices list at icloud.com/find.

  • Need help with delivery address for iPhone 6

    I am trying to change the delivery address for my iPhone but UPS says I need to talk to Apple and Apple says its up to UPS. UPS says there is a dedicated line for Apple to call UPS to change the address and Apple says no such line exists. Has anyone successfully changed a delivery address for an Apple product? If I don't figure it out in the next few days my phone is going back to China.

    Minimize your iTunes, right click on your Desktop, click Properties, click the Settings tab. Increase your screen resolution to 1024 x 768. If it looks OK, click OK. You should be able to continue with your iPod.

  • HT4864 Need help with iCloud set up on Mac Mail Client

    hi thanks for you help.  I had a long day of issues with my icloud configuration on my Mac Mail. Suddenly (with no changes on my part) there were issues with emails going out. I followed the protocols below.  Is there an issue with my AUTHENTICATION choice? I tried external tps but that didn't work, but Apple Token is what is working). I have the box checked for keep sent emails. I can't figure this out and it's so frustrating. I have a new Air Laptop. 
    IMAP information for the incoming mail server
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 993
    Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not ********)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.

    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not ********)

    Those look like the correct settings.  You might want to post this over in the OS X Lion forum to see if they have any suggestions.

  • Novice apple user needs help with iCloud

    Can anyone help?
    I have uploaded iCloud app onto my mac and iPad 2 but I don't think it is working correctly as I don't seem to be able to access any documents, photo's etc via the cloud.
    The app seems to be set up correctly on both devices but something is not quite right.
    When in my mac I goto system settings and select iCloud icon and then click on the question mark in the bottom left hand corner and I get the following message
    Content not available because your computer is not connected to the Internet.
    Well I know it is as I can view webpages on both iPad 2 and mac.
    Any suggestions?

    its not a specific app.
    currently, document syncing only works with iOS iWork. Open settings on the ipad and scroll down to the iwork app and turn iCloud on.
    Photo syncing is called photo stream. open settings on ipad and click photos and turn photostream on. on mac open iphoto and click photostream

  • Need Help with music on my iphone with a new itunes download

    Hi,
    My old computer has died. All my music is on my iphone 5. Ive installed itunes onto a new computer and cant seem to get my music from my phone onto the itunes libary on my new computer. Also every time I try and get the music from my new computer onto my iphone it comes up with a error????
    I cant seem to sync the phone to the new itunes either, even though its the same apple id and password.
    Any help would be awesome.
    Cheers Evelyn )

    Once the Mac can see your Mac then you can use a program such as PhoneView (http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/) to see the content of you iPhone and transfer it to the Mac.
    Did the Mac die or did the HD die? If the issue is the Mac then you should be able to remove the HD and install in an external case to transfer the content to the new Mac.

  • Need Help with Photo albums in iPhone 4s!!

    Help!  Just synced my new iphone 4s, but now I have three albums in my photos! Not only do I have the "camera roll," I also have "photo library, " and "internal storage."  The internal storage album duplicated all my photos , so now they appear twice!!!  Is this taking up a lot of "space" on my iPhone?  I would love to get rid of the "internal storage" album, but don't know how.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Please, try "Photo Transfer WiFi" or "Sync Photos to Storage" from the App Store. Does it solves your problem?
    I recommend you the second app. It allows you to send all your Camera Roll photos and videos to the desktop in one tap!

  • Need help with using Factory Unlocked iPhone 4 (GSM) in US

    Hi all I have an factory unlocked iPhone 4 (GSM) which is bought overseas. I will come to the US soon but I don't know how can I continue using with the US carriers.
    Any solution?

    If it is truly unlocked, just sign up for a plan with AT&T when you get to the US and insert the MicroSIM. AT&T will not permit pre-paid plans on iPhones. T-Mobile will, but they are not a supported carrier and you will not get 3G data speeds, only Edge. Other features may not work correctly such as MMS messaging, FaceTime, etc.
