Upgraded to yosemite and its asking me for iCloud password to an old ID

I just upgraded to Yosemite on my mac mini.  When I turn on the computer it asks me for a password to an id that no longer exists.  when I try to use mail, it is apparently using the old ID so it defaults to an iCloud email address and none of my contacts can be found.  I have an iMac, iPhone and iPad that all seem to reworking just fine with the correct ID.  How to I get rid of this old ID on my mini and make it use the correct ID?

I apologize, so used to twitter and abbreviating, I forget how specific we need to be here.
I changed my apple ID from Y to X a year or more ago.  Y email no longer exists.  I changed it on my iPad, iPhone, mac mini and a new iMac that i bought.
Saturday, Jan 31, I upgraded my mini to Yosemite.  when the upgrade was complete a pop up window asked for my iCloud password and it used the old apple ID Y that no longer exists.  I kept clicking cancel on the window (it took about 5 times) and the window went away.  I logged into iTunes and iCloud using my new (X) ID on the mini and made the assumption all was good.
Today I tried to compose an email, and even tho I am receiving email from my new (X) id, went I went to compose an email associated window said something about the old ID...but I accidentally clicked it off and couldn't read it all.  Now when I go to compose an email it is defaulting to iCloud for some reason...perhaps because the email program wants to use the old (Y) ID? I don't know.
The old ID (Y) was originally used to set up this mac mini when I purchased it in 2013.

  • After I update to ios5 and I am trying to update my apps on my ipod and its asking me for my password but the username has my old username on it

    After I update to ios5 and I am trying to update my apps on my ipod and its asking me for my password but the username has my old username on it

    You can go to Settings>Store and log out of one account and log into another.  However, apps are tied to the account that originally purchased them.  You have to use that account to update them.  Also, if you have apps from more than one account that need updating, you have to update them individually using the correct account until the ones left are from only one account.  Then you can update all.

  • Help! Bought a used iMac (2008) and I'm trying to install quicktime but its asking me for a password and has Apple in the "Name" spot.  How do I retrieve or reset the password?

    Can anyone help...
    I just bought a used iMac (2008) from an ebay seller and I'm trying to install quicktime but its asking me for a password and has Apple in the "Name" spot. 
    How do I retrieve or reset the password?
    It came with the upgrade of Mountain Lion but I cannot find quicktime in the applications.  When I try to install anything this Installer Password thing comes up... so I'm stuck.

    I think you're slightly misunderstanding something, so maybe I'll try to chime in, even though everyone has said it in various ways.
    Before OSX 10.7 (aka Lion) came out, the upgrades to OSX belonged to the Mac and not the user. Probably there was a technical legality in the user agreement that you couldn't do that, but everyone did. I could sell a Mac with Snow Leopard (or anything before that) by just erasing the hard drive, and reinstalling OSX. Then ship it to the buyer. Now, I was pretty honest as a seller, and including not only the original installation discs but also any upgrade. I would only sell a Mac if I was replacing it, so I always was getting the brand new version.
    With OSX 10.7, upgrading was done online, with no disks. So the upgrades were tied to an Apple ID rather than the machine. Recently, I sold a MacBook Pro (to upgrade to a 27" iMac), which came with Lion. I had promised the buyer that it would come with Mountain Lion, but I didn't know that the upgrade was tied to my Apple ID. I made good with the buyer by sending along a $20 Apple App Store card so that she could upgrade to Lion.
    So what everyone is saying here is that you need the original Installation discs or Snow Leopard disk to reinstall and wipe out the Mountain Lion that is on your Mac. It doesn't belong to you, it belongs to the seller, and without his Apple ID and password, you cannot use it. Once you do a reinstall of Snow Leopard, then you can upgrade to Lion and then to Mountain Lion. I do not believe you can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, but I'm not sure.
    If the seller claimed that you were getting Mountain Lion, then he was lying to you (or being more civil, maybe he just didn't know like I did). If you bought the used machine from Amazon Sellers or from eBay, then you have recourse through the feedback system or through PayPal. If you bought it any other way, you're on your own.

  • HT5961 I reset my iphone and its asking me for my verification code. What am I supposed to put?

    I reset my contents and setting and its asking me for a verification code. I have submitted different codes but its not letting me in. What am I supposed to put?

    To remove the Restrictions passcode you will need to Restore the Device as New...
    You will not be able to perform a backup as this would include the Restrictions passcode... which is what you have to remove...

  • After Upgrading to Yosemite, I am asked to reset my password

    After upgrading to Yosemite, I was asked to change the password for the local accounts on the computer. However, every time I tried to change it, it would say "Password does not meet the requirements of the server." I am not sure what requirements it is talking about. I eventually figured out the pattern to get logged in, but I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this with their upgrade and figured out why it happened? I have seen this happen on two of my Mac computers.

    Thanks for the idea but it did not work, I do not know why it is asking me for a password which I never needed before for a guest to use the computer?  I have tried everything and I do not know which password it wants?   I do not see any option for a password for the guest account, to create one or delete one or modify it?  Maybe this bug\problem will be addressed in a future update?

    i just restore my iphone 4s now its ask me for icloud  id is that i forgot how can i activate my phone

    If you forgot your own Apple ID, click here and use Apple's iForgot service, or contact their Account Security team.
    If you're being asked for someone else's Apple ID, either the device's original owner needs to contact Apple, or the person who set the lock needs to remove it.

    It is asking for your computer administrator account password to make system changes.  You "should" have an administrator account password.

  • HT204053 i changed my email address (apple id) on my pc, but now my ipad is asking me for my password with the old email address...and not accepting the old or new password.how do i change it/sync it?

    I changed my email address (apple id) and password on my pc, but now my ipad mini icloud is asking me for my  icloud password with the old email address and not accepting the old one or the new one..how do i change it / sync it?

    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 off Find My iDevice, 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 off Find My iDevice 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.

  • HT204053 I changed my Apple ID online but my phone asks me for my password with the old ID.

    I changed my Apple ID on my desktop that syncs with my iphone but when I try to download from the iTunes store it asks for my password with my old ID and then bounces both my old and new passwords.

    On your device go to Settings>Store, then tap your Apple ID and sign out.
    Also, if you use iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud then scroll down and tap "Delete Account".
    You should then be able to sign in using your updated details.

  • Im installing logic studio and its asking me for an original SN?

    I put in my Product serial number then it asks me to put in my original serial number. I have no idea where that number is. No number Ive used has worked so far.

    Did you buy an upgrade to Logic Studio? If so, you need to enter the old serial number first and then the application will ask you for the upgrade number. Also make sure you type it correctly 0 = Zero and O = Ohhh, etc.

    What OS are your running? If you can access your user library, you can go to Keychains/login.keychain and move it to your desktop. Restart and a new login keychain should be created. If successful, delete the one from your desktop.
