Recently updated Apple ID, and cannot change the old iCloud Apple ID that my phone sees due to Find my iPhone being on (requires password for old Apple ID that doesn't exist - fails every time) Help? - iPhone 4s

If you running ios7, you may get some help from developers. I am not as smart as you are, to give any advice on ios7, cause I am not developer.

  • Update iCloud account and apple id on iOS devices

    Hello,
    How to update apple id and iCloud account on my IOS devices after having changed them on my Mac ?
    Thank you in advance

    If you have 'Find My (device)' set up you have to log out of that with the old password - this may or may not work. If you don't have it set up you should be able to log out (on an iOS device: Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete Account' - this will not delete the account from the server).
    If you are unable to do this you will have to contact Support. 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' (this is probably the nearest subject available).

  • How do I get the correct ICloud account on my iOS devices?

    Hello. A few days ago, I changed my Apple ID username from my old email to my new one. Everything worked fine and I was able to re-login to the App Store, iMessage, etc. A few days later, I got a message from iCloud asking me to login. When I tried to login it failed and I realized that it was using my old Apple ID email to login to iCloud. So I went into accounts and tried to delete that account and add the account with the correct Apple ID. When I tried to delete the account it asked for my iCloud password to confirm, which doesn't work because it is using my old Apple ID. I then tried to add my current iCloud account without deleting the old one, but when I did it said it was already on the device. How do I get the correct ICloud account on my iOS devices?

    Log out of the old ID, then login using the new one with the correct pw.

  • How do I find pdf's stored in iCloud Drive with my iOS devices?

    I have recently updated OS X to 10.10 and all of my iOS devices to 8.1.  And I routinely store Pages, Numbers, Keynote and pdf documents on iCloud Drive.
    But I can't figure out how to find a pdf stored on iCloud Drive from an iOS device.  It's obvious (in the finder) in Yosemite, but I have no idea with iOS.

    You have to access documents in iCloud drive on an iOS device from an iCloud compatible app that can read the document you are trying to open.  For PDFs, you can use an app like Documents 5 by Readdle.

  • Why does streaming iTunes Match to Apple TV from iOS devices work fine but from my Mac Mini not so fine?

    As the topic heading states... if I airplay anything from an iOS device I have no issues but from my Mac Mini I am plagued with problems. If I airplay iTunes Match to Apple TV quite often the sound will drop or stutter. I will have to pause the song and start it again.
    Also I can be playing everything fine and then all of a sudden my Mac will lose sight of the Apple TV and the only thing that will resolve it is restarting the Apple TV.
    Both my Mac and Apple TV and iOS devices are running the very latest updates.

  • Cant get iCloud emails on my iOS devices

    Hi,
    This is been going on for a while. I was hoping the issue would resolves itself with upgrades but it never did.
    I had .mac, .me, and .iCloud e-mail accounts that always worked fine on my Mac's.
    On my iOS devices I had an .mac account. No problem sending mails, but for receiving it's an other story!
    I sometimes saw some emails pushed on my devices and when I tried to open them, they simply disapeared. Nowhere to be found, not in trash, not in archives, nowhere at all.
    Most of the time, I simply never get any emails at all. But, I can always sent some.
    I thought by deleting the .mac, .me accounts it would maybe change something, it did not.
    I shut down the iCloud account and reopened it, no change either.
    Start, restart the devices... no changes.
    Every settings are opened and activated in Mail, Contacts, Calendar on both of my devices.
    I've search every support communities with no clear answer to resolve my problem.
    I could use some help with this anoying situation.
    Thank's

    I've enabled iCloud drive on all of my devices, and I want to share everything on every device. How do I browse my iCloud drive on my iOS devices? If I upload a PDF, for example, how do I view it on my iPad?

  • If I back up my iOS devices on my iMac in the US, then do a time machine backup to an external HD, will I be able to plug the external HD into a brand new iMac in the UK and restore the new machine as per the old one, and restore my iOS devices?

    Since you don't really have a question, I will give you a very broad information source for the next time you have a Time Machine question.
    Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Oh, you cannot use a computer whose only disk drive is the target of a an OS X cloning operation regardless of what software is used for the clone. You can, however, use the source drive except if you try to clone using Disk Utility.

  • Pages/Numbers docs on iCloud but not on iOS devices?

    Hello,
    I had been using Pages and Numbers for some time and when iCloud came out I synced all my existing documents from both. Currently, they reside normally in iCloud (since I can access them from iCloud.com) but they are no longer on either my iPhone or iPad. I cannot figure out how to get them back either.
    My workaround so far has been to download them onto my Macbook from iCloud.com and then put them into iTunes...But everytime I do this the setting for using iCloud (Settings - Apps - Numbers/Pages) changes from Yes to No automatically.
    I'm kind of stuck at this point. I've even tried redownloading Pages to see if I would get prompted to pull stuff from iCloud back onto the iOS device.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Same issue here.
    My workaround:
    Email the documents/spreadsheets to myself
    Open email on the other device.
    Click the attachment.
    Select "Open with Numbers (or Pages)".
    I would prefer that they sync automagically.

  • HT1311 Changing Apple ID on IOS Device and Family Sharing

    So how does the new Family Sharing feature for IOS 8 fit into changing an associated Apple ID?  We set up our daughter's iPod with my Apple ID so that we can share apps and content.  If we create her own Apple ID listing it as 'family' and then change the ID on her iPod, what happens to the apps that are already there under the primary ID?  Will she lose the status for all of her games?

    In short, yes, you can create her own ID, invite that ID to your Family Share, and she will continue to be able to use the apps from your ID without any immediate impacts.
    From my experience, logging out of an apple id on a device does not de-authorize or remove apps that are already loaded.  In fact, I regularly log out of one ID and in to another in the iTunes and App Stores.  The issue you will face in the future with your current approach is your daughter does not own any of the apps you have been giving her via your ID.  Way off in the future, when perhaps she is no longer in your Family Share, all the apps she got will stop updating unless she re-purchases them.  That may not really be a big risk or concern, but its a reality.  The only caveat to keep in mind when logging out and in with different accounts is you want to avoid changing the account used for automatic downloads.  Apple (due to licensing restrictions from content owners) does not let you change automatic downloads frequently (you're locked in for 90 days).  You can still manually download content from other accounts, just not automatically.
    Prior to Family Share I thought of content purchases in 3 buckets: what I want to own with my ID, what they own with their ID, and what we want to share.  Therefore, before Apple introduced Family Share I create a "dummy" Apple ID for my family as well as IDs for each of us.  I keep the password for this dummy account to myself, and I log all my kids devices in to the App Store using this dummy id (it's got a good name we all recognize that has internal family meaning).  We often load up this dummy account with gift cards, and when child wants to buy an app, they ask me to put in the password (so I maintain control of what they buy), and through this ID the app becomes available to all of us.  Their own Apple ID is used for all other services and is their main iCloud account logged in on their devices.  In time I expect they will start to buy their own content using their own IDs.  But they will never lose access to the content on our family dummy account as long as I'm willing to eventually share the password with them.
    With the new Family Share we will continue to be able to share their personal content until they grow older and "leave" the Family Share.  However, when that eventually happens we will still have the dummy family account and be able to share apps with each other using that if we want.  We won't lose the apps we bought on the dummy account we share when we stop using Family Share as long as the password is available to each of us.
    There are a few limitations to my approach which the Family Share service improves on so I expect to use Family Share as well (I'm still experimenting with it). 
    Way more info than you asked for, but hope it's helpful for your planning.

  • How can i create an icloud accout without any iOS device or Mac?

    I do not have an iOS device nor do I have a Mac. I would like to view other persons Photostream. When I download the iCloud 2.1.1 (for windows) I am being asked to sign in with my apple ID. When I enter it, I am being told that the apple ID is correct, but that this is not an iCloud account. From here I don't know how to continue.

    You can't.

  • HT5372 Closing iCloud tab from another iOS Device

    I have an iCloud tab open on a device that I wiped out and sold. The website is showing up in the cloud on my other devices. How can I close this?

    Quote (last sentence http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5372): "If you no longer have access to the device that that you used to browse that tab, the tab will automatically be cleared from the list after 7 days, if not updated."

  • ICloud Keychain - Works with iOS devices but having issues with Mavericks

    Has anyone had an issue where the iCloud keychain will sync normally to iOS devices but not in Mavericks? It worked fine up until a day or two ago when I was forced to recreate my user profile. (a completely seperate issue forced it) Since then I've been rebuilding my profile but did not use the original Library files so as to avoid a reoccurance of the other problem.
    Have tried multiple things including a complete reset (saving my keychain locally on an iPhone) and then reactivating. All passwords and CC information will sync normally to one of my other Macs and my iPad but my MacBook Air (with the new profile) won't cooperate. There are no errors or alerts and takes my security code to activate it. However, when I look in Safari it only pulls a few 'old' autofill passwords and no CC information.
    Actually just tried loading my iCloud settings (including keychain) in the Admin account on the computer and it worked fine. So the issue appears to be limited to my new profile. Wondering if there's a keychain/preference file associated with Safari that's intereing with it receiving a clean sync from the Cloud. Ideas?

    Just tried resetting my login.keychain and that did not fix the issue either.
