Old apple ID vs New ID - reset password

Here is your only hope..(for now or give up).
I had an iCloud old ID in my phone that I didn't know my password to.
can't change or remember password
logged out of old ID via settings blaa blaa ( see other posts to do this )
Created new ID
Logged out of this new one too
went to store and downloaded new free app with new apple ID
It worked
but my old apps will not with new ID
can remove old apps by holding down on the app until they wobble and press the X on it to delete
Have to now reinstall apps I want with new ID
Old apps still want the old apple ID....nooooooo!
New apps will work with new ID
I need my some of my old app because they have data and picture etc in them so I don't want to lose them.
I enter any password 3 times for a reset
it emails a reset to geeeee knows where???? so no good to me.
Now this is weird
I go to upgrade my old apps again....
I enter any 3 dud passwords and go to 'answer questions'
Enter my birth date and other question
it only **** worked and let me enter a new password
Old apps now updating with old email account
I now have two email accounts (with the same password)
1 for new apps
1 for old apps I need to keep until I can figure out how to find where the old email retrieval email is sent (no hope).
All this after an hour of upgrade to latest OS and other hour with all of the above!
I hope this helps you
I need a drink!

TThere may be apps that are trying to update. Apps are locked to the Apple ID used to purchase them. They cannot be transferred.

  • My icloud account on my new iphone does not match the user ID for itunes as it is an old apple ID. There is no password for this ID so I cant change it and it wont let me change the apple ID. Any help?

    To change to iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID then sign in with the new ID.  If you don't know the password for the old ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current 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 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.

    - 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.
    Thus, it appears you have apps that need updating that were purchased from more than one account.

  • I bought a new iPad and want to sync to my iCloud.   We'll I updated my Apple ID and password as we'll.  however it won't allow me to sign in to the cloud because it still brings up the old Apple ID and asks for a password.

    I have purchased a new iPad.  I am trying to sync my music and apps.  I also updated my Apple ID and password.  So when I go to sync my old Apple ID pops up asking for a password but I have already changed the info.  So the new password does not work.  How do I get the new iPad to recognize the the updated info so I can sign in to my iCloud account?

    On your iPad, delete the existing account then sign back in with the new ID and password.

  • I changed my apple id and password online, next time i turned on my computer icloud pops up asking for a password with my old apple id.  i enter my password and it doesnt work, how do i change my iCloud id to my updated apple id?

    I changed my apple id and password online.  The next time I turned on my computer, iCloud popped up asking for a password, but displaying my old apple id.  I tried signing in, but I think because it is my old apple id listed it doesnt let me.  Anyone have any idea how I can update the iCloud apple id and password to reflect that of my apple id?

    If the old ID is yours, and if your current 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.

  • Cannot play music purchased under old apple id after new hard drive installed

    Replaced crashed HD and used Time Machine to restore to 10.7.5. Had changed my Apple ID a while backe (couple months). Now music purchased with old ID will not play, asking me to authorize under old ID, have no idea what the password was and the email address is no longer valid, so...how do I rgain access to those albums purchased under old ID? It plays on my iphone fine.

    You may still be able to reset the password to your old Apple ID via iforgot.apple.com.
    The old tracks will continue to play on the iPhone as long as they are on it but you may find they get deleted if you try to sync with your library while it isn't authorized for your old ID.

    Hello there, Chivs86.
    From what it sounds like you are wanting to sign out of iCloud with the "old" ID and sign in with the new. The following Knowledge Base article should help you with that issue:
    iCloud: Features that work with one account at a time on iOS 5 and OS X Lion or later
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4020
    Specifically:
    To change a secondary account to a primary account
    iOS 5 or later:
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Delete the secondary account.
    Tap the Back button.
    Tap iCloud.
    Delete the primary account.
    Add the secondary account that you want to be your primary account.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro D.

    If the old Apple ID password does not work, you will need to contact the Apple ID Security site from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 or try going to http://iforgot.apple.com and see if you can get it changed through that portal.
