  • My I cloud is linked to an email address that is no longer valid and I forgot the password so can't get any access? Help

    O2 have discontinued my email address and I have forgotten my password. This email is the 1 I used for my iCloud account. So now can't get into my account at all? As if I do the forgot password thing it can't be verified through my email?

    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'.

    You can't delete an existing account, you can only choose to stop using it.  It will still be there should you decide to use it again in the future.

  • I need to free up storage on my iPhone 4s to do an update.  I have turned off my photo stream, but when I go into Usage Settings, it says that photo stream is using 3.7gb of space.  How do I get rid of this?

    iCloud is not designed to "store" photos (as in long term storage).  iCloud can be used to sync photos from one device to another (photo stream) and to store a backup of the camera roll.  But that's pretty much it.
    Camera roll is the group of all photos taken by the device (but not other photos synced to the device from another source).  Your extra storage on icloud will do you no good.  The recommended way of storing photos on a device is to sync them to a computer.
    So, your questions..
    1) You don't/can't
    2) No, because of 1.
    3) On a computer, deleting large groups of photos is relatively painless.  not so on a device.
    4) You can't access photos on iCloud because they can't be store in icloud.  You can't view/access photos in a backup on icloud unless you restore a backup to a device.

  • My iCloud account shows an old email address i no longer use even though I've updated my apple id with my new email information.  How do I get the old email account off my iCloud

    my iCloud account shows an old email address i no longer use even though I've updated my apple id with my new email information.  It keeps asking me my old password to the old email address which is NOT a valid email any longer.  I'm unable to manage my iCloud until this is resolved.  HELP

    If your Apple ID is the one that you use for making all of your purchases, it should, automatically appear in FaceTime already. How a no longer valid email address got there to begin with is a mystery to me, if in fact you do have, and have been using another Apple ID.
    Go to Settings>FaceTime>Apple ID. Tap the old email address and sign out, sign in with your Apple ID. It should be verified and allow you to select it as the address that you can be reached by for FaceTime.
    If that does not work, time FaceTime off, restart your iPad and then start all over again.

  • I have an old apple id that i havent used for years. For some reason i have updates on my mac i cannot do unless i sign onto that old account. It uses an old e mail account i no longer use or have access to. How can i get to do these updates?

    I have an old apple id that i havent used for years. For some reason i have updates on my mac i cannot do unless i sign onto that old account. It uses an old e mail account i no longer use or have access to. How can i get to do these updates?

    its very specific.
    If you are seeing the old Apple ID with regard to this Mac, then it would seem that somehow you have incorporated the ID in the setup of this new Mac.
    Iphoto i use never used imovie.
    If you began using iPhoto without having Accepted it into your Apple ID, then that would explain why you are unable to update the app. If any of the iLife apps are used without Accepting them into your Apple ID, the ability to accept them will lapse and you will not be able to update them.

  • Within Facebook, I have '6' photo albums.  On my iPad Air or my iPhone 4S, when I go into Photos, select a photo to send to Facebook, I only see '2' Facebook photo albums listed!  Thoughts on how I can get my 'I' devices to recognize all '6' FB albums?

    OMG, I totally did not see the edit button at the top right corner of the Albums window/page.
    Selecting that, then selecting the album BIKE brought up the RED button to the left of the album and ta-da, delete.
    Sometimes I seek so hard I do not see.

    Apple ID has my old email address. It will not allow me to change the address and will not accept my password or ID questions.   I recently upgraded to OSX Yosemite 10.10.1.  I also have an Apple ID that works with iTunes and would like to keep it as my primary.

    To change the iCloud ID on your devices you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with your current ID.
    If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, you will have to temporarily recreate it in order to delete the existing account.  To do this, 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 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.

  • TS3988 I receive a "the maximum number of free acorn have been activated on this iPhone" when I want to sign in iCloud with my Apple ID on my iphone...someone help me...

    I receive a " the maximum number of free account have been activated on this iPhone " when I want to sign in iCloud with my Apple ID on my iphone..please someone help me..

    Any one device can create only three iCloud accounts: this is tied to the hardware, not the user account, and there is no way round this.
    You will have to create an iCloud account on another iOS device or Mac, then you can sign into it on your iPhone.

  • HT1349 Forgot my password, how do I get in computer?

    Forgot my password, how do I retrieve, change get in to mac pro?

    Start in Single User Mode and reset your password.  Or if you are on 10.7 or 10.8, start to the Recovery partition and reset your password.  I will not detail the steps here but Google is your friend.

  • When I sync my Ipad and Mac I get a message from itunes to allow access with an email address I no longer use and asks for a password I don't know how do I remove the old email

    Hello Tonchee
    If you are seeing an Apple ID that is not yours, then you have purchased content on your iPad that is tied to that Apple ID. You would need to know that password or remove the content that is associated with that Apple ID.

  • I am getting an error message when I try to sign into icloud with my itunes info.

    I am trying to sign into the icloud on my PC since I do not have an iphone or ipad.  When I enter in my itunes info it says - "This Apple ID is valid but is not an icloud account" . Why can't I sign in using my itunes info?

    Ok, back now.  Have her follow the instructions under "Share a calendar publicly" here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a9479.  (Note: the term "publicly" is a bit of a misnomer.  It won't share the calendar with the public at large, it will only give her a url link that she can share with people such as yourself who don't have an iCloud account to allow them to subscribe to her calendar with read-only access.)

  • I changed my password on my ipod and when i locked it up I forgot my password how do I get back into my Ipod?

  • HT201210 forgot my password,  how do i get back on

    my son forgot his password to unlock his I pod.  How can he unlock it?

    Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
    Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414  ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/20025416 - "A restore erases the iPod. If you restore from backup the iPod will be like it was IF the iTunes library includeds [sic] all the synced media like apps and music since those are not included in the backup.")
    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
    If none of the above work, try:

  • I forgot my password how do i get in my ipod

    i have lo9st my i pod for about a year i have forggotten my password and no one knows the password it is a number code and i dont want to disable my ipod touch how am i able to get inside of it??

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
