Passwords for iCloud account not working on my phone or iPad

I want to use a different Apple ID on all my products. I can't however seem to change the email (Apple ID) associated with icloud on my phone or ipad. I have an old address that I want to update. However now none of the passwords that were associated with that old Apple ID are working now and I cant seem to change the ID at all? I want to use icloud, but don't want it associated with this old email. How can I change the ID associated with iCloud on my devices?

If you have an old iCloud ID showing in Settings>iCloud as a result of updating to iOS 7, in order to change the ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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.

The file to download the app for Android is not working from my phone--it says that the file isn't there. However it does see the one for the Iphone (even though it can't use it). I'm very computer literate and am pretty sure the problem is on your end.

The file to download the app for Android is not working from my phone--it says that the file isn't there. However it does see the one for the Iphone (even though it can't use it). I've tried it multiple times and continue to get the same message: "NOT FOUND The requested item could not be found". I also tried through the Market application on the phone but ended-up with the same result.
I'm very computer literate and am pretty sure the problem is on your end. If this is the case then no one can download the app. I considered that perhaps because it's still in Beta that it was removed due to some other type of software issue. I would really like to use Firefox on my new Droid (2.0); when with this be available?

Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.
Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly by typing this address into your phone's browser: http://bit.ly/fxbeta3
(Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

Photostream with not icloud account not working

Hello,
I created an AppleID with my own e-mail address (not iCloud). Photostream is the only thing in the cloud that is not working. I cannot connect to the photostream. Has anyone an idea what could be the problem?

Forgot password for iCloud account in Apple Mail

Hi all,
I don't know why but a recently I've been asked to enter my icloud password related to my iCloud e-Mail address.
stupidly, I've forgot what my password is. is there a chance to reset it somehow?
To explain the situation a bit better and what I've tried already, here a short discription of the situation:
- I do have a appleID that is called [email protected] the related password is appleID_Password1.
with this combination I also conduct my purchases in iTunes and the AppStore. But to rule this possibility already out: It doesn't let me access my iCloud eMail account in Apple Mail. Funny enough, though, when visiting iCloud.com this is the combination with which I log onto iCloud incl it's mail service within the web browser.
- the iCloud eMail address for whose password I am looking is called something like [email protected] I have implemented it into my Apple Mail program running on Mac OS X Lion. Since setting up the account i've never ever been asked to enter my password. But now, out of a sudden, I was. And, of course, I couldn't remember it anymore. Hence, I don't receive any eMails sent to [email protected] anymore on my mac.
Can somebody tell me how to fix it, if it is not the password for my appleID??
Thanks already for all the help..!!

Is [email protected] the actual login for iCloud? (The login is not always the same as the email address, it depends on cicumstances.) It's the login, which is an Apple ID, which you need to enter at iforgot.apple.com.
Exactly this is what I am talking about: [email protected] is NOT the login for iCloud.
I used to have an Apple ID way before I've used iCloud. Back then, I provided my gmail-address as to set up my Apple ID.
Now, quite a while later, after I've bought an iPhone, I got access to Apple's iCloud. For the free @me.com eMail address that comes with iCloud I've chosen [email protected] Of course, as it is with every email address you gotta choose a password. I have chosen a different one that I have chosen for my Apple ID. Therefore, knowing the password for my Apple ID account doesn't help me with receiving my [email protected] mails when Apple Mail is asking for my [email protected] password.

My iCloud tabs not working in Safari on my iPad.

My iCloud tabs are missing in Safari on my iPad since my problems with the App Store yesterday.
Private Browsing is OFF on all of my devices.
I've quit Safari from the task bar.
I've turned Safari on/off in Settings>iCloud and rebooted.
I've repeated the above about 5 times.
My iPod can see my iPad tabs in the iCloud tabs in Safari but not vice versa. What gives?

Final update: on my iPad, I deleted my iCloud account. I then rebooted my iPad. Then I logged back into iCloud.
Voila!! It worked!
Don't know why I didn't think to do that before. <slaps forehead>
If we could think of every possible scenario and fix on our own, there would be no need for a support forum.
I had a minor panic a few days ago, when my lock sounds were no longer working on my iPad. I knew that I had not changed anything at all in the settings. I rebooted my iPad twice, I played around with the volume, I checked system sounds... I was stumped. I just couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Even though I knew that I hadn't changed anything in the settings, I decided to finally go back and check anyway. Sure enough, I had Lock Sounds turned off in the Sound Settings. I have no clue how it happened, but it was turned off.
I had my own "slaps forehead" that morning and thought to myself, why didn't I just check that to begin with?
I am happy to hear that you got the situation resolved.

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode

TS3899 password for CalDAV account wont work

I recently updated my phone to IOS 5.0 and now cannot access my e mail.
I have deleted and re added the account but it wont recognise the CalDAV password

I've had the same problem. Somewhere in Google's sercurity policy if you do 1 of 3 things, like say you sent 5 emails in 2 minutes they consider your acct a spam account. there are a couple other reasons too i dont remember. I had to email Google for them to unfreeze my account. im sure your in the same boat. of course your phone wont recognize your account is frozen till you go online.
