Password Doesn't Work -- Wrong email address

Ever since I upgraded my iPad I cannot log into the cloud. They have my old email address -- which I have changed and what shows in my Apple account and even if I reset my password it doesn't work

What Csound1 said. To do that go to Settings > iCloud > Delete Account. Delete Account will actually not delete your account, but rather log out from your device.

Updating apps and getting wrong email address

I recently purchased a new iPhone 5S. On three occasions, the app store has indicated that I have apps to update. When I click to update, it asks me for a my password but shows the wrong email address. All three times it is the same address. This address is not an address that has ever been related to me or anyone in my family. There is not a problem with any other app updates and this is not happening with my new iPad. I am somewhat worried that I have been hacked already with owning this phone for only 3 weeks. If you can't help me with this please give me some advice on how to get tech support from Apple because going through their system did not seem to work for me.

Thanks. I think this was the second time I had the problem with the one app. I had some problems (but different) with the other app on my old phone. I am a little leary that this problem is resolved because with deleting the apps, it is just deleting them from the phone not from the cloud so when I loaded them on the phone I am thinking that I am just loading the same messed up app again. Both apps that have given me this trouble are very commonly used non-Apple apps. Anyway, I will come back again if I have problems with this again.

How do I change my user name in syn? I typed in the wrong email address. And I cancelled syn thinking this may work but no luck.

You have to clear saved password for this page:
# Open you login page (where you have to enter username and password).
# Right click on page and select '''Page Info''' form context menu.
# On last tab ('''Security''') there is '''View saved passwords''' button, click it and delete all saved passwords for this page.
# Also clear all related cookies (just in case) there is button for this next to first one.

Have a wrong email address which keeps popping up as a suggestion rather than the correct one which is in my contacts. How can I delete this? iPhone doesn't allow me to get to it to delete it like I can in Outlook.

I'm very glad that helped!
It's good you looked in the Manual first. Certainly not everyone does that.
With Apple products, I've found that not everything is completely documented, but sometimes if you try something that seems like it should work, it actually does work.
That's how I personally learned about this feature.
Enjoy your Apple gear!

If I try to send an email ,I got the message "the server doesn't accept this email address".It happened suddenly,before it worked correctly and I didn't change anything

Change the password on that e-mail account. It's possible that your account has been hacked/spoofed and spammers have used it to blast out junk, leaving you to 'pay the price'. If it's one where you can contact the company, contact them and ask them what's going on. (if this is g-mail, yahoo, hotmail, don't bother, there's no way to contact any sort of support)

I've logged onto iTunes, but it's asking me security questions because it's a new device, and I'm getting the answers wrong, but iTunes wants to reset but send the new passwords to my ex partners email address how can I get round this.

I believe part of the recovery process is you get an e-mail allowing you to reset questions. If that e-mail isn't correct either because your son set it up then you really have no option but to ask Apple again. They are getting strict abotu security and given the number of "My iTunes account got hacked" posts here I can guess why. They have no way of knowing you really are the owner of the account. It's like me going to a policeman and saying, "See that car over there? That is mine, can you open the door for me?" and the police opening it on that basis alone.

HT5622 I changed my Apple password and I get the information at the wrong email address. The correct email shows in my Apple account. Why is the mail going to the wrong email? How do I fix it?

I changed my Apple password and I get the information back at the wrong email address. My email address is right under my Apple ID. How do I get this corrected?

Okay so I associate the e-mail address as the apple ID and that seems to be a wrong assumption. I did go to my Apple ID and changes the e-mail address and the password but for the same and only Apple account I have ...
That is good. In that case, your one and only account has not changed, just the login credentials you use for it. All your previous purchases will remain associated with that account, and the new login.
In essence, an AppleID is an email, but it has two parts. One is the login email address and password everyone traditionally thinks of as an AppleID. But that in turn is linked to an account with Apple. As long as you use the manage Apple ID portal to just change the email address and/or password for your exisiting AppleID, then the internal account tracks along with those changes as well.
However, on your iOS devices, you will need to log out and then log back in with the new login credentials:
settings -> iTunes & App Stores - tap your AppleID, and choose log out. Then log back in with the new email address and new password.

Thanks for your reply. Having read through relevant topics it suggests that if I sync my iphone with the correct account on my pc it should use that one thereafter. i will try both.

My iPhone is using my work email to sign in to the cloud, but my apple id and password are with my "personal" email address. I can't get rid of my "work" email address on my iPhone 4S

Hi Sister Kate,
If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

My wife collected my online ordered iphone 6 when i was away and she entered a wrong email address as the Apple ID .How can i change it now since the IClould pops up asking for password and i can't provide it so could not even delet it .Helps !

A wrong email address was entered at the setting up of the new iphone 6 and how can I change it ?

The problem is she entered an email address she thought might be mine ,but actually used by someone else .She said no password was set up .My understanding is an email must have been sent to that address and he or she can set up the password and download .And now I set up an new ID under the ICloud but still the wrong email address still appear as a default one .I tried to delete the set up but I was asked for the password which we don't have .
Any good idea ?

My 4S died and I was given a new one. Now I can't get it to sync with my old info. I think I put the wrong email address for my apple ID, how can I change it?

My 4S died this week and I was told it could not be repaired, so I was issued a new one. During set up I could not remember my password, so set up a new one. I think I used the wrong email address, not sure. At any rate, now my phone and pad don't sync. How can I get this corrected? Thanks!

It looks like your printer isn't on the list of air print enabled printers. It'll still work, you just need to do some tweaking.
You can see if samsung has any apps to enable printing.
or
You can look into a third party app like Print n Share or Print Central.
Then you can print from your iPad.

Does anyone else have two Apple IDs? I can't get rid of one of them. It's associated with my iCloud account and I can't fix it. The password doesn't work.

So, apparently I have two Apple IDs associated with my iPhone. One is an old aol address that got hacked and was shut down. Even aol doesn't recognize the email address anymore, and the password doesn't work. It's associated with my iCloud account, so now I can't access that account. My other Apple ID is with everything associated with my iPhone and everything works just fine. But now I can't get to my iCloud stuff. Has this ever happened to anyone else. The guy at the Apple store says he's never heard of it.

Does the alert refer to "Local Items?"

My password doesn't work.

My password doesn't work. Can't open with digital editions two ebooks bought on chapitre.com

I just set up my yahoo email account on Mail, but
whenever I try receive or send email Mail asks me for
my password. I enter my password, and then it tells
me that the server rejected my password. I have
checked two dozen times to make sure that I am
entering the right password. It is definitely the
right one, but the server always rejects it. When I
long on to my yahoo account on the web, my password
works fine. What am I doing wrong? I don't want to
call yahoo either because they charge you for support.
i get this all the time. i have pop forwarding with yahoo!, and it has worked well with mac mail for a couple of years - but every once-in-a-while, i get the 'password rejected' dialog box. it's really annoying.

Entered Wrong Email Address : Help Needed - Probably a Simple Solution But Driving Us Crazy

Recently, when signing into a website I have used successfully many times - I accidentally typed in the last few letters of my email address wrongly ( email address and password are required to log on to the site) Now I can't access the site at all because I enter my correct email address when asked, but as soon as I move down to enter my password...the email address reverts back to the one I typed in wrongly and of course the site dosent recognize me. I have turned off and on my auto fill thing, cleared my cookies, reset Safari, tried all the simple things I know but they haven't worked. I suspect the solution will be an easy one for those that know more than I do ( which isn't alot!) and would be grateful for some quick advice!

You will need to contact the website. Have you checked to see if the site has customer or tech support?
