New email when old account won't delete.

Recently I changed my email on my iCloud account.  When I try to "delete" the old account to set up a new one it asks for my password for the old email acct, which I can't recall and can no longer have sent to me as my old email is gone.  To boot some of my info got jumbled or changed so when I try to change the old emails password using the questions/info route it won't let me in due to incorrect info.  So my iCloud account on all my Apple products continues to show up under my old email and now won't update and asks me for my password every time I turn on a product only to not accept what I enter.  How do I either clean out or delete and start fresh my iCloud account.  Please help!

  • I changed my Apple ID (new email address, same account), but when I try and use my iPad, it is asking me to sign out and delete the account, losing all data.  If I do this, will it all still be there on my new ID? Thanks.

    I changed my Apple ID (new email address, same account), via the Apple website on my laptop, but when I try log into ITunes on my iPad, it still has the old ID.  It is greyed out, so I can't change it.  On researching further,  it seems I have to sign out of iTunes and sign back in using new address.  Ok so far, but when I do this, it asks if I want to delete the account and any data on the cloud.  If I do this, and sign in with changed ID, will all the data be there Or will it be lost?  Thanks for any advice.

    Sounds like apps purchased from those accounts got synced to the iPod and it is asking to log into that account to update them.
    - 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.
    What do yo see if yo go to the Updates Section of the App Store app?

  • How do I activate my new sim in new phone when old phone is broken?

    How do I activate my new sim in new phone when old phone is broken? The website says it should already be activated, but is isn't, and the only option it gives me to activate it is by it sending a pin number to my old phone which doesn't work. I'm stuck!!

    What device are you using?Is your new sim a replacement sim?What does it say when the sim is in the device?

    You can't all apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase/download it.

  • TS2845 I started a new apple account. My songs downloaded from my old account won't play on my computer.

    I started a new apple account.  The songs I previously downloaded on my computer won't play.  I deauthorized the old account.  The songs ask me to put in my apple ID but then when I put in my new one they say computer authorized. 

    I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
    What is the way to actually contact Apple?
    I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . .

  • HT1918 itunes hooked up to an e-mail no longer good tried to chg and add new email but it show system set me up with new account instead of updating new email need to merge and use the current email with old account

    I have had itunes for years, however, old account was setup under [email protected] and I no longer have that e-mail or ATT internet service so everytime I want to update my e-mail account with my new [email protected] it wll not let me because I tried to update from my itues account and just changed the e-mail id field and it allowed me to update however it actually just made me have another seperate account under my current e-mal.
    I need to merge the two how can  I do that now that this system has me as two different accounts. One is Tracy Rucker the other one has all of my names
    Tracy Randle Wlliams Rucker?
    Help please no verication e-mails can be verified with the old sbcglobal.net account

    In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
    Click "Deuthorize ALL"
    Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer.  If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
    You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

  • Why is it still showing "new" email when I have deleted them?

    Why does it show that I have new emails after I have deleted them? Hate it!!

    You still get "Not enough" space after deleting everything? how much music do you have on the phone. And how much free space does it say you have now?

  • Outlook won't recieve new emails when synchronizing inbox to server

    Hi,
    I have an inbox with about 15000 emails I want to sync with my 365 server in the clouds. The sync takes forever, and I guess it will take som days.
    The problem is that I don't recieve any new emails. To get new emails I have to turn of "buffered exchange mode"
    How can set up Outlook to both receive new emails and synchronize the inbox at the same time?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I've seen some similar issues that the user can't receive new emails until all emails are syced to the server.
    In such scenario, we can do quite few. The only suggestion I can provide now is to wait until the sync is complete, then you should be able to receive the new emails. During the sync period if you need to check the Inbox, logon OWA or switch to Online Mode.

  • Changing icloud ID when old account was hacked

    Hi there,
    My old email account was hacked and I have changed my apple ID to a new email.
    I also had a problem with my iphone 5 and have had it replaced with a new one but it was given to me with the old apple ID on it.
    I now can't access anything on the icloud and icloud refuses to let me delete my old account because I no longer know the password (someone changed it after they hacked it). Is there anything at all I can do?

    Contact apple they would most likey need to know some info.

  • Updated iCloud w new email on iMac.  Won't sync to iPhone or iPad. Help!sync to

    on my Imac, updated Icloud with my new username/new email.   Now iPad and iPhone have not picked up data and will not let me sign into my Apple account and iCloud is no longer synced.  Help! 

    You have to sign out cmpletely on all your devices and sign back in with the new ID.
    On a Mac: System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'.
    On an iOS device: Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server, just unlink your device from it.
    Your synced iCloud data will disappear when you sign out but will reappear (give it time) when you sign back in.

  • New emails have old messages

    I am receivng new email that has a current subject/address but when opened the contents is from an old email. I have read in the communities discussions that it can be caused by Envelop index being mixed up, but I don't think 10.8.3 has this folder.
    I'm using Mail v6.3 on OS 10.8.3.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Need help with Mail - Hotmail .. actual hotmail account won't delete

    Hello, first post! I just purchased a mac last week. First one ever so i'm learning to use the programs and having some fun. I opened up the mail application and synced with my gmail account just fine. I then added a 2nd account which was my hotmail account. I'm not happy with how the hotmail account syncs with mac mail application. The problem arises when i try to delete the Hotmail account i added. I right clicked and selected "delete account" and it deleted all my email but the Hotmail inbox icon will not delete and i am still getting new emails into the inbox. I'm not sure if i explained this correctly so feel free to ask for clarification. Does anyone know how i can get rid of my hotmail account from my macbook mail application for good?

  • Move library to new computer when old one is dead?

    Is it possible to access my library on a new computer, when I can't use my old one? Everything I can find on how to change computers requires accessing my old one first, and I can't, because my old computer won't even turn on any more. I can't be the only one this has happened to!?!
    I am an old lady and not very computer savvy, and I find the itunes site to be WAY less intuitive than I would've expected.

    You either need backups from your old PC, or to be able to turn it on.
    Just like any other files on your old PC - digital photos, emails you wanted saved, whatever else - if you don't have a backup, they are gone.
    You can ask a PC shop to take out the old hard drive and see if it still works. Maybe the power supply is bad, but the hard drive is still good.

  • Yahoo mail says I've got 6 new emails when I haven't

    Hi, on my mail icon on my iPhone screen it always has the number 6 in a little red circle but I've got no new emails in there so why does it continuously say I do??
    I've got Yahoo mail on my phone.

    saddact,
    Yahoo is set up as IMAP on the iPhone, so what the iPhone sees should be what you see if you sign into webmail. If you sign into Yahoo webmail, are there any new messages?
    Do you have any other email accounts set up on the iPhone? If so, that could be why it's showing new messages.
    If Yahoo is your only email account set up, you may want to delete and re-add the Yahoo account. You can go into Settings > Mail > Tap on your Yahoo account > Delete account. Then Add Account and set up your Yahoo account again.
    Hope this helps,
    Jennifer B.
