Old Apple ID request won't allow me to continue with the reset

A few months ago I called Apple Care because I was having trouble changing our apple ID from our old email address to the new one. I thought we had resolved the issue but tonight, I wiped the I Pad, logged in with my current ID and then when I went to restore from the icloud backup, it requested the password but the little blurb had the old apple id. I tried using the old password but it wouldn't let me in and I since I wiped the ipad, I can't continue or figure out how to change this setting. Spent hours with Apple care a few months ago, but evidently we didn't fix this issue and I can't reach out to Apple Care without paying another fee.Can someone tell me how to get rid of the old apple ID/email address completely and continue with the reset??

Try logging on to your iCloud account and wiping the iPad that way.
remove it, which will erase it, and will turn off the activation lock.

I updgraded to iOS7, and it wont allow me to Continue with the Restore...

...I have no SIM Card/Phone Carrier, and up until now, i've had no previous need for one. I use the phone on WIFI at my Job, Home & Communit (paid for by my Cable Subscription). Now, iOS7 is implying that a SIM Card is Manditory. Can anyone help/confirm/guide me through my issue? Thank you!

it has always been mandatory. you'll have to obtain one from a friend or family member to complete the activation

TS3988 On my Windows laptop I updated my Apple ID and changed my pw on my laptop. I forgot my old Apple account pw. My iPhone demands the old login info and won't allow me to delete the old account

I need help managing my Apple account across my Windows laptop, iPhone 4s, and iPad iie. I updated and changed my id and pw because I changed email and forgot my old Apple pw. Neither my iPhone or iPad recognize the updates. Both demand the old account info and won't allow deletion of he old account on either device. Without the old id/pw combo, how do I access and update my Apple ID and iClount accounts for my iPhone and iPad?

If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new 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.

My ipad is saying I have app updates to install, but won't allow me to update. The update screen is blank. Any ideas on how to fix?

There are a number of other threads from people reporting a problem with a blank Updates tab in the App Store app - it looks like there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix.
Some posts are suggesting that you if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app you might be able to update the apps from there, though you will need to scroll through the list to find those with updates and individually update them.

When I requested a new password the e-mail was sent to the old address then the new owner of that address entered their info and I no longer have access to it.

Hi I reset my Ipad mini to factory settings and before doing it i deleted my apple Id account which is linked to my ipad .. now I am not allowed to go ahead with thr resetting process aim stuck

hi
Iam Using Ipad Mini, I reset it toFactory Settings ad now iam not able to go ahead with the reset process for my pad mini. Before performing ipad reset i deleted my apple Id.Please help me with this issue

OK, so he needs to go to Manage your Apple ID, and click on Reset Password for the old Apple ID: Apple - My Apple ID
If he doesn't remember the Security Questions, then he can contact Apple Support and they will reset them for him:
ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
Once you get the password reset, he can then type in that new password when the prompt comes up, and it should allow him to sign out of his old iCloud account.

If your not hearing dial tone you might have your phone plugged into the wrong port. Most modems have 2 outlets, one is labeled line ( that is the one you should have plugged into the jack (RJ11C). If that's correct, query the modem and see if it tests OK, you may have a defective modem.

I am trying to backup my Itunes onto my external hard drive. I am at the step where I on Itunes, click on File ->Library ->Organize library. I am suppose to check mark both boxes there, the first being "Consolidate Files" & the second being "Reorganize files in the folder 'Itunes Media'. I am able to checkmark the first box but It won't allow me to check mark the second box, why? How can i fix this? Please help!

Well you must have made a mistake somewhere. The last instruction of step four reads:
When you've found your iTunes library folder, drag that folder to your external hard drive. This will begin the iTunes backup. The amount of time the backup will take depends on the size of your library. When the transfer is done, your backup is complete and your external hard drive can be disconnected.
Normally dragging content from to a new location on a different drive will result in a copy action which is what you were supposed to do. At a guess you somehow managed to move the iTunes folder. Then when you started iTunes it created a new blank library for you assuming it had just been installed rather that raising a warning.
Close iTunes. Rename the iTunes folder on the internal drive as iTunes (Empty) then copy the iTunes folder from the external back into the User's Music folder. Start iTunes. All should be well.
When you've made sure it all works please read my User Tip and use that method to backup in future. Since you already have a folder with the backup in place you can skip the "Make New" operation in the fourth step and simply choose the external folder.

i did an update on my macbook air and now i don't see anything only grayish screen , it won't allow my to get into the system plz help!!!!!

Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

Turn your router completely off (unplug it) for a few seconds, then turn it back on again and see if you can connect.

I have updated my Apple ID, but iCloud under System Preferences on my iMac still shows the old Apple ID. How do I update it to show the new ID name? Can anyone help?

Do you mean you changed your existing apple id to a new email address, still associated to your existing apple id?
If that's the case, just click the sign out button in the icloud preferences, and sign in with the new email address.
If you're actually created an entirely new apple id with your new email address, you'll have to do some exporting/importing.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

On iOS 5 for iPad, is there a home button key on the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard that will allow you to go to the home screen or multitask? Perhaps by pressing the escape key or something?

Sorry, but no one who would know can discuss unreleased software such as iOS 5 in these forums. We'll have to wait, probably for the official release, before such details will be known.
