When I try to reset my primary email for my apple id, the apple application reverts back to an email address that is no longer active -- it will not take the new address -- but it has taken my alternate address.

I am trying to reset my apple id -- my iphone defaults to an apple id that is not valid any more.  I have tried to reset my apple id using my computer -- and that seems to work but my iphone still default to the old apple id and when I try to reset my primary email on the apple website, it will not accept it and tells me that my old email address is verified -- but it is no longer valid.  What can I do?

Use Safari and you will probably not have the same problem.

    How is the C6200 connected to the iMac, is it via USB or Wi-Fi? If it's via Wi-Fi please make sure it's connected to the router using the printer's Network Wizard. Then click System Preferences - Print & Scan and assuming the iMac is on the same network as the printer, if it is the printer should be seen. If it's not then click the + sign and add the printer.

  • AppleID tied to an old email address that is no longer valid-causes endless notifications window on new iphone

    I have two Apple ID's that are causing problems on my new 6+, one of these A ID causes window after window asking for the password. The A ID is linked to the e-mail address that has been deleted and no longer exists. So if I try to use the retrieve Password feature (for the life of me I forgot the Password), the only option is that Apple wants to send an e-mail in order to reset the original password. But that is impossible, the address does not exist.
    The other Apple ID was also setup and associates with the same deleted e-mail. I basicly have an iCloud ID& password, and an alternate iCloud ID & Password
    PLUS a Apple ID and password that was for the Apple Store
    How do I get rid of these unwanted NON LISTED Apple IDs?

  • HT2954 I changed my email address on Gmail and now my computer will not recognize the new password when I modify my account?

    I changed my email password on Gmail last night.  I then went into settings on my MAC to reflect the changes but it will not recognize it.  I double checked to ensure I had the right password and it is. I can log into my email from safari with no issues.  I have varified that all account information is correct but its still not working.  I have also lost notes and contacts.

    If Terminal doesn't scare you, you might try this line in Terminal...
    sudo mv /var/db/CodeEquivalenceDatabase /var/db/CodeEquivalenceDatabase.old
    Carefully type your admin password when asked & hit enter, as it won't be echoed, then restart the Mac.
    The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
    This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server.
    So since WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.

    Is it POP or IMAP?

  • I changed my Appleid online yesterday because the old one was based on an email address that is no longer active. My phone still shows the old Appleid and will not let me access APP store etc. How can I get the phone to accept the new ID?

    I channged my Appleid at appleid.com and now the phone stills shows my old id and will not let apps that require id/password prompts work.

    Just scroll to the bottom of the screen in the store, log out and then login with the new ID.
    As long as you changed it from the manage account option at https://appleid.apple.com/ (ie. replaced the primary email address with a new one), then all your old purchases should be fine.

  • When I try to access the App Store the app crashes. Recently I got a message that said my 4th generation iPod could not verify the server. What should I do?

  • TS4036 Accessing iCloud account from old email address that's no longer active

    HELP!  My iPhone 5 screen died and Apple cannot repair it.  The phone still works and it is under warranty but I am having difficulty getting my calendar, notes and contact info.  I was able to download the pictures on to my PC at home using iTunes but not the data. When I go to iCloud I get a message telling me to go to a message sent to the original email account used when I purchased my first apple product (laptop) but I no longer have access to that email account.  I have set up other iCloud accounts since then but seem to going in circles trying to find this very important data.  Before I return the damaged phone for replacement I want to make sure I have exhausted every resource.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
    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 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.  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 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.
    Note: this will only work if the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID).

  • My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If I try to add the email address that I now use (and which is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it.

    My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If (while on the iPad) I go to My Apple ID and try to change or add the email address that I now use (and which already is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it. It says : "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID"  I haven't really been aware of this as a problem until I tried (for the first time) to sync my iPad to the computer and became aware that certain things wouldn't transfer. What is the solution to this?

    What are you having problems with ?
    This post was about having updated the primary email address on an iTunes account via a computer - if you do that you might need to log out of the account on an iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version of the account for that email address change to be recognised on your iPad. If you don't log out and back in then an iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch) might continue to show the old version of the iTunes account id.

    How do I change  my  Icloud ID on my Iphone to match my ICloud ID on my IMac computer?

    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 iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. 
    When you do this, you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this happens, and if 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 iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID.
