Problem with AppleID and iCloud account
Hi guys,
I hope that you can help me with my problem.
I gave my Apple account to a friend with new iPhone 4s (mine is iPhone5) because he was waiting for his new credit card to make his own. After he got his credit card he made his own Apple ID, but unfortunately mine is a mess now including iCloud account. So basicly the problem is this:
1) when i try to update or download an App on the store i have to enter my password for my apple ID but it's changed
2) somehow the verifying email on my iCloud account is not mine e-mail but his and in the verification e-mail it's his name written on top ( Dear Mr. Peter...)
I tried to remake my account and it worked with the exact same email adress and password as the existing, which tells me that the old one was "simply" erased
But now when i try to download app that i previosly had on my device it tries to download it from iCloud which i can't verify. So now i don't have iCloud, if i delete the old one it deletes my contacts (i restore it from an earlier backup but it restores the iCloud account again).
So can i make new iCloud account and somehow keep my contacts and erase the old iCloud account so i can download the apps again.
Thak you in advance and i hope you can understand what my problem is
Your first mistake was letting someone else use your Apple ID. That's like giving out a credit card number and not very smart. I think your best bet is to call Apple and ask for Account Security in order to straighten this out.

Problem with Storage and iCloud
Hello! I have a problem, and I've read some other threads here and tried what was suggested, but it's still not working for me.
I am using an iPhone 4s. I have purchased 15.0 GB total iCloud storage and I have 10.5 GB available.
This is my problem. I get an error message constantly saying that my storage is full, even though there's barely anything on my phone---and when I say barely anything, I mean it: I have about 3 pages of apps, no games, no large apps, and the most photos I can take before I run out of space is about 30 (!!!) which *****. As I mentioned, there is plenty of space on the cloud (10.5 GB free).
I read on another thread that this is a bug and that I should restart my phone and then do a new backup to the cloud. Only when I try to do that, it says it will take 80+ hours to complete. I suppose to could just leave my phone at home where there's a wi-fi signal and not use my phone for 3+ days, but realistically, that is just not an option; also my wi-fi *****, is slow, and goes out from time to time. If I leave of course I lose my wi-fi signal and the backup stops, and then I have to start it over when I get back.
What should I do? This has become a problem and is getting worse; I used to be able to take 100 photos or more before it filled up and cut me off, but the number has been steadily decreased over the past 2 months, to now filling up at 30 or sometimes less with short videos. Halp!Sound like there may be something corrupt on your phone if you only have a few apps. 2.46 GB for Other is also quite large, unless you have a massive amout of app data from one of your apps. I would suggest you back up your phone on your computer, then restore it. To do this, do the following:
Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTune sync settings and click Back Up Now.
After the backup finishes, go to the Summary tab and click Restore.
Your phone will be restored, then it will restart and reappear in iTunes and give you the option to either set it up as a new phone or restore from backup. Choose to restore from backup, selecting the backup you made at the beginning to restore from.
When finished, check to capacity bar again to see if the values look more reasonable. If so, try your iCloud backup again. -
Problems with Mail and iCloud.
I have upgraded to Mavericks on my iMac. I have a Gmail email address that I have used for years: [email protected] I recently also decided to have an iCloud email address as a backup/alternative: [email protected]
Since getting this iCloud email address I now find that whilst I can receive emails which are sent to me with either address, I can only send emails using the .icloud.com address. If I try to send one from my .gmail address it simply dumps itself into "Outbox" and just sits there. I've tried most things, including disabling the .icloud.com address in Mail Preferences, but when I do this I can't send any emails at all! Anybody else had this problem and, if so, did you manage to fix the it? If there is no easy fix, how do I get rid of the .icloud.com email address entirely so that I can go back to using just my Gmail address?
Any suggestions gratefully received.I decided to disable iCloud - hated that thing anyway - and I modified my user name in the preferences in Mail by adding @gmail.com to the end of my user name. Guess what??? I can now both send and receive emails using my original @gmail.com address!!! Forget what the "science" (or Apple) tells you - use good old fashioned common sense and put in the settings that you should have in the first place.
iCloud has its' place but, quite frankly, it causes me more headaches than solutions so I've turned it off on all my bits of kit. I really don't want to share all my photos, emails, videos blah de blah de blah with every bit of Apple kit I have - I like to use each one individually. Yes, I know all you Apple purists will be calling me a Philistine but you know what?? I really don't give a tinkers cuss!! Each to his own I and just love the way I have it now - my Wife's iPad and iPhone don't interefere with my laptop or iMac and I can delete what I want from whatever bit of kit I want without it deleting the same from every other bit of kit!! iCloud has certain advantages but it can also be very dangerous for the unwary!! -
I recently upgraded to an iPhone 5 and I have this synced with my previous iCloud account. My problem is my old iPhone 4 is taking up 2.5 GB of space in the cloud. Is there a way to delete this iphone from the icloud so I can free up space as it is not needed anymore?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming you have finished with your old backup.....
You can see what your iCloud storage is used for and delete any unwanted content at settings > iCloud > backup & storage > manage...... -
How can I pair my iPad with my old iCloud account?
Thanks!Those are the instructions for your computer's iTunes (i.e. using the Store menu at the top of your computer's iTunes and selecting 'View My Account' on it). If you are doing it on your iPad then are you following the instructions for iOS devices :
To unhide your purchases
Depending on the content type, open the App Store, iBooks, or iTunes Store on your device.
Scroll to the bottom of the main page.
If you're not already signed in, tap Sign In.
Tap your Apple ID name, then tap View Account.
Scroll down on the Account pane, and tap Hidden Purchases.
Locate the item you would like to unhide then tap the Unhide button. -
My apple id and icloud account merge together, i want to delete my icloud account because of some problems on name so i want to change name or delete my icloud account .
<Subject Edited by Host>You can't delete an iCloud account.
Once it is attached to an AppleID it is attached forever.
You can edit the name on your iCloud account or setup an email alias if you made a mistake with the email address. -
i am a teacher and my school has given all of us a ipad to use. it is set up with my school email and a shared itunues and icloud account. they have told us we can use it for anything that can be used for education purposes. i have downloaded books and other items that i have marked up for my use. however if there is ever a problem i cant identify my applications or books if other teachers have downloaded the same apps or books as well as my documents. is there a way to set up a 2nd itunes account and icloud account so that i may use that when backing up anything that would be personalized by me so that i can find what is rightfully mine. they are ok with it but were unsure how to do this, so can anyone help me? thanks
Sorry, you cannot use more than one iTunes account at a time.

My first iTune and iCloud account was set up with a work email address. Last week, I changed my AppleID to a personal email account, but have found that on my iPhone under settings, iCloud, my account still has my work email. How can I change this to reflect my new personal email. I also pay to have extra storage, how is all of this working/tying together? Please help!

With iOS 7 there’s no workaround.

I have a problem.
I bought Pages and Numbers for my iMac and so far everything was OK.
Suddenly i have a problem with connection to iCloud.
Dokuments created on iMac in Pages or Numbers are not transfered to iCloud. Not uploaded to iCloud. There is a sign (small shape of iCloud), that they are waiting to be uploaded to iCloud.
I think the iCloud is OK.
i can see and manage documents in iCloud. i can create them on iPad and see them and delete them in iCloud.
But not on iMac.
i dont know what has happened and I am not abble to find the solution. It was OK till some days ago….I have a similar problem! Everything stopped working after upgrading to Mac OS 10.8.4 through the App Store. Help!

I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account i set up my mac?
On your phone, Go to "Settings", "iCloud", scroll to the bottom and "sign out." Assuming you have the the account password/security info of the current account, it will delete everything iCloud related upon your approval (don't worry, everything will remain in the cloud.) Once signed out, in the same settings location (under "Settings", "iCloud") sign in using your Apple ID and Password.
Hope this helps. -
I have an iPad and iPhone backed up with the same icloud account but because iv two the storage has filled really quick, how can I have separate icloud accounts?
You got it with that same apple id thing. You can use different apple id's, but then they will not sync. Apple does allow as many free apple id's as you want, but they are in the business to make money.

Problems with libraries and plugins - non admin account
I''ve got a couple of problems with a fresh install of photoshop on my windows Windows 7 64 bits system.
1. Libraries panel does not work. It displays the following error and interaction is not possible:
2. 3rd party plugins would load their content.
3. In the Creative Cloud Application the apps tab would load and displays the "download error" message:
The funny thing is that all the above errors don't occur on the loacl admin account. So I think this might be a permission problem. I think the most easy sollution would be to work under the admin account, but sadly that's no option (company policy). I am able to extent the rights of the useraccount I work on, but I don't know in wich folders the software needs write permissions. The both Adobe folders in program files and program files (x86) I already changed to full acces for all users. Can someone please help me?Problems with libraries and plugins - non admin account https://forums.adobe.com/people/pippyn%20stortelder
This is a permissions Error. The other accounts on the computer do have permissions to use / change the administrator settings of these particular items.
There are two ways you can fix this. 1.) contact the admin of the system and let him know your accounts need read access to these items
My Preferred method is:
If you are on a Windows Account, then you can choose those items to run in Administrator mode for all people. ( win7,64bit )
Right click the infinity system for creative cloud (creative cloud icon - you would normally click to start the program. (not the one in your service tray, but the one in your menu area with the square red on it.
choose/click on properties
choose/click compatibility (tab at the top of the window)
Last boxed option on this screen is: Run Program As Administrator, Click that check box.
Click on Change Settings for All Users
in the window that comes up again choose, put an X in the box- the last option, Run Program As Administrator - Click Apply
Click OK
Click OK and the opened preferences window should now be closed.
You should be able to simply invoke the Cloud app now. But you might want to reboot to safe.
Depending on the installation methods used for your add-ons, you may have to perform this same process for all add-ins. I believe that would depend on which account, first installed the add-on and what level of permissions they have.
Good Luck
