Since ios7.1update my icloud has got my old apple id and wont allow me to change it? Please help!!
Please help, since updating my iphone 5 to ios7.1 my icloud account has reverted to my old apple id. My apple id has been changed for quite a while and it worked fine before? I have checked my apple id and it is correct on my itunes account but not icloud. Not sure how to change it? Thanks
To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn of 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, and your 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 of 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.

I am trying to do a restore from iCloud on my ipad2. As I start, it has a very old Apple ID listed. How do I change it?
You can change this in Settings:
1. Go to Settings > iCloud
2. Tap on the Apple ID
3. Tap Sign Out
4. Sign in with the new Apple ID.
If you need the Apple ID for the restore process and don't remember details, you can go to iforgot.apple.com, even if you don't remember the Apple ID. -
I am having trouble, my icloud is using an old Apple ID, and i can no longer access that email account, or know the password to that, how do i switch it to my new Apple ID?
Having the email address is not necessary. It is just the username for the device. All you need is that Apple ID and password. Now, if you forgotten the password, then you have more work to do. Since that email is no longer active, you would need to send the reset to your rescue email, if you remember that. Or you will need to contact Apple Security for help.

I recently updated to to iOS 6.1. When I did it asked me to put in my password but my old apple ID came up. I skipped it and the message stated that my facetime and iCloud might not work correctly. I skipped anyway. I have since verified my apple ID online and my facetime seems to be working correctly, However, when I go into settings>iCloud>my apple ID is listed as my old apple ID and I am unable to change it. Any help?
Thanks,
EWelcome to the Apple Community..
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too. -
Hi, i was using my iphone 4 and i was trying to download an app. It was saying i needed a sercity question. I tryed to remember the answers to the questions but i forgot. It was saying it was going to send the correct answers to my email. But the email it has typed in i have never seen before in my life. So i was wondering what to do. It has now locked my apple id and wont let me use it.
That's not a good sign if it said it was going to send it to an email address you've never heard of. Contact iTunes Support and let them know this: http://apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

When i try to send email from my ipad i get the message The recipient "£)()&&£)" was rejected by the server. This has only just started to happen and I don't know why. Please can someone help. I have tried lots of things now and cannot solve it.
"Your email account" means to tap on the name of your email account. Whatever it is listed as in the settings.
In my mail settings, one of my email accounts is a Comcast account. I tap on the Comcast name and it brings up this window.
Then I tap on the arrow under the Outgoing mail server smtp setting to get to the next window.
In the resulting window, I then tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Primary Server setting.
That brings up this window in which I check to make sure that my user name and password have been entered correctly. If those items are missing, enter them in the appropriate fields and then tap done. -
I've tried backing it up on my computer, it works fine for a few hours. But, it just keeps acting slow. I've deleted atleast 20 apps, and have even tried using it less.. I don't know what could be the problem.. I also cant turn it off, because the lock button is broken. The nearest apple store is at least an hour away, and I never have time to drive that far..
- Restore from backup. (not clear of what " backing it up on my computer" means) See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Somehow I got my website page enlarged and now I can't reduce it, please help
I have no idea what I did. the mouse started to enlarge the page way more than it should and now the page is stuck at enlarged and when I scroll it down small, it's still way bigger than it should be. I know it's simple but I don't know what to do to fix it. Other pages are fine....only the one I was on when it happened.
If you use the keyboard shortcut Control+0 (zero) it should reset the page zoom.
Alternatively press either Alt or F10 to display the menus, then in the View menu select Zoom, and then select Reset.

iCloud has my old Apple ID and is prompting for a password, but I want to put in the new id, I can't because it is grey and there is no edit option. I'm prompted for a password to an account that doesn't exist. Anyone know what I can do to fix this or why this is happening.? I had no issue putting in my new Apple ID everywhere else, I could sign out of the old and inactive account and then sign back in using my new and proper one. However, after the update to 7.3 it did a whole welcome to yr iPad and a set up thing and it went to set up iCloud and had my old Apple ID in grey where I can't change or edit it, it wants the password, when I put in the old password, it say yr Apple ID is incorrect but yet it won't let me change it??????? Anyone???
Sign out and back into your apple id from Settings>iTunes and App stores>(Your apple ID)>Sign Out and then sign in again with the new address. Close app store from running in the background (or restart the phone if your unsure how to do this). If when trying to update any apps they are still asking for the old apple ID, delete and re-install those apps.

My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer. For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it. I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud. How do I change the Apple ID (not the password)?

I have attempted to upgrade os4 to os7. At the end, it threw an error that i had to turn off "Find my iphone" on my phone, which seems to be impossible at that stage as i could not access beyond the upgrade screen.
I thin chose to set up as new iphone, but icloud has taken an old expired email address for which i do not know the password. icloud will not recognise my current itunes email and password, so i now have os7 but am unable to restore from my itunes back up.
Desperately need help please... Any help appreciated
ThankyouIf you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support. -
I changed my Apple ID, now I can't login to iCloud because it still has my old Apple ID and the password no longer works to log me in. How can I get back into iCloud so that I can switch off Find my iPhone so I can make these changes? Thank you. (iPhone 4s)
Well, you're gonna have to recover the password for that Apple ID:

icloud keeps emailing me saying my account cannot be billed - please go to "settings" and click on "accounts". There is no "accounts" in my icloud . I checked into apple accounts and it says the credit card has expired. It has not. what now?
The credit card used is that registered in the iTunes Store. Open the Store and go to your account. Click 'edit' next to 'payment details' and amend the card details if necessary.
