New apple id and it won't update it on the icloud

I have changed my Apple ID because I wanted to use my personal e mail address.  It works with itunes, but now my icloud does not work.  It only pulls up my old apple id and won't let me sign in.  I backed everything up and tried to delete the account, but when it came time to turn off the Find iphone, it asked me to sign in to my old apple id.  How can I update my icloud account to reflect my new apple id?

Try going back to http://appleid.apple.com and changing the ID back to the original address. If you can get this accepted, then go to the iCloud preferences/settings pane, stop 'Find My ....', and then sign out. Do the same on any other devices or computers.
Then go back to http://appleid.apple.com and change the ID to the new one. Sign in with that on all your devices.
However as the address which forms the original ID is now not working it can't be validated and it's possible that you won't be able to revert to it. In this situation only Support can help you.
To contact  iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.
If you canot get this to work for you you may be able to get help from a different Support department. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.

  • I have an old work apple ID that is associated with my App Store . I have created new apple ids and reset in settings but whenI access the App Store it still defaults to my old work apple ID. I can't seem to get passed this, any ideas?

    I have an old work e mail address that was a primary apple id. The App Store uses this as a default. I have created a new apple ID and  changed this in the settings but the App Store still defaults to the old address.  How can I get change this as I cannot update anything at this stage. I cannot create a new password against the ole apple ID as the e mail is no longer valid, old work e mail

    Hi tried the various options but ended up deleting the apps associated with the old Appleid and then accessing them from the App Store and reloading. They automatically asked for the new Appleid and password.

  • I deleted all Apps on iPad as they were associated with an out of date Apple ID and I could not update them, but the "App Store" logo still shows that there are 2 to be updated and when I go there I cannot delete. Please assist. Thanks.

    Why don't you explain what happens when you try to delete these two apps that are showing that they need updates. You can only delete them if they are actually installEd on the iPad. Are they on the device?

  • New Apple TV and future firmware/os updates ?

    It might be a basic question, but I am very new to apple tv device. The new apple Tv model looks good and have plans to purchase one. What I wanted to know is, does it support new firmware/os/iTunes updates ? the way ipod touch/ iphone supports. For example if new movie websites (as of now youtube and netflix) are introduced in coming apple tv versions , then is that possible that I can also update to get such new features ?
    If Yes, how to ?

    Hi, i recently factory reset my apple tv (1st gen), and do software update.
    it successfully goes to firmware 3.0.2. and said its updated and no more updates available.
    whats confuse me is, that in Remote 2.0 apps for iphone/ipad, stated the remote will work with apple tv 1st gen using OS 3.1.2 ?
    Now.. how the heck im updating to os 3.1.2 on my atv if it says its updated already!? many thanks

    Hi, I'm a pc user and am trying to access an ical via the icloud. This ical houses information about work etc and it is quite important that I can gain access to it. To that end I have created an apple id and password and downloaded the icloud for the pc. However , when I get to the sign in page and use my apple id, I get a message to the effect that my apple id is ok, but its no good for an icloud account/ or I dont have an icloud account. I've trawled thru lots of help pages and nothing points me in the right direction. I've been on this for over 3 hours today and getting nowhere....Can somebody please help, I'm starting to lose the will to live over this

    You must create the account using an Apple device, a Mac (Lion or greater) or an IOS device (IOS5 or greater). Having done that you will be able to sign in from your Windows machine.
    FYI, iCal is an application that can display calendars from iCloud (and others) it is not a calendar itself, merely a calendar client. In Windows Outlook is the calendar client.

  • HT5624 i do have apple ID and password but i forgot password for the icloud account . what i have to do ?

    I have iphone 5 which was bought from apple store regent street ,london in february.i took it abroad to use.unforthunatly it didnt work. it kept asking to sign in for the icloud account but i forgot the icloud password .i tried the apple ID it dindnt work.what shall i do ?.

    Your iCloud account and Apple ID should be the same thing. If you go to iforgot.apple.com and enter in the account it's asking you for, you can reset the password for it there by using either security questions or by sending yourself an email. If that doesn't work, try giving apple support a call to get your password reset at

  • I just got a new iPhone 4 and when trying to update it to the newest software I get a message saying that 'Error -5000' has occurred...

    It also says if I continue to sync it will pretty much wipe my iPhone clear.
    Is there any way I can fix this, or do I have to start from scratch?

    You have to delete the old account, provide the password for the ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  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.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).

  • I got a new Apple ID and idk how to change it on iCloud. It asks me to sign in but it uses my old email. What do I do? I have a iPhone 4. With the latest iOS

    I have a new Apple ID and I can't change it for my iCloud. It keeps asking me to sign into iCloud with my old email address an it doesn't work because I changed it. What do I do ?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple Id to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new ID.

  • I had to create a new Apple ID but it won't let me update apps because my old account keeps showing up how do I stop that

    I had to create a new Apple ID but it won't let me update apps it keeps showing my old account how do I stop that from happening

    Apps are always associated with the AppleID that purchased them, you cannot use another AppleID with them,
    So in order to update them you must use the credentials that were used to purchase them.
    You can chnge the details (Name and Primary email) for an AppleID instead of creating a new one.
