Yosemite seems to have reverted my iCloud address back to an old one and won't let me change it. I currently have no access to iCloud

I installed Yosemite. This apparently has changed my iCloud address back to an old one which is no longer in use or a valid email address. It will not allow me access to change it. It even tells me my date of birth is wrong.
How do I get out of this fix?

Have you tried to sign out of iCloud and sign in with the new ID? If so, what happened?

I not so recently changed my email adress I associated with my Apple ID and my iCloud ID. My old email still shows up for iCloud, and won't let me change it to my new email. When I try to delete it and replace it with the proper email, it wants my password, which it won't accept because it's an invalid username.

I had this same issue and got it resolved very simply when I contacted Apple SUpport

I put my sim card into a new iphone and tried to change it back to the old one and now the phone is locked. It's asking for a passcode and I didn't have a passcode set up.

Hi! I need help! I put my sim card into a new iphone (3g) and then tried to put it back into the old one to get my contacts from it. Now the old iphone is locked and it's asking for a passcode, but I never set up a passcode on it. Has anyone experienced this or does anyone know what to do? Thanks!

Not sure if this applies to your region, but in Australia the SIM password is often written on the "credit card" sized plastic card that the SIM was provided to you with the phone by the telco. Do you still have this? It could be in the iPhone box?

I have several Outlook accounts and want to switch between them but Firefox defaults to the main one and won't let me access the others.

Outlook now makes me sign out and sign back in to each of my email accounts. When I try to sign back in, it defaults to the main account and won't let me type in the other email addresses. This only happens in Firefox, both Google and IE leave the email address blank and let me type in the one I want to access. I'd rather use Firefox, but it doesn't let me type in a different email address. Can I fix this?

I got a new PC. I was able to back up the old one and dowloaded my iTunes library. I keep getting a message that says: This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on this iPod." It asks me to authorize, which I have done 20 ti

My old PC died and I got a new one. I was able to back up the old PC and downloaded my iTunes library on the new PC. I keep getting a message saying: "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on this iPod. Would you like to authorize this computer for the items purchased from the iTunes store?" I have authorized the new PC, but it continues to ask me over and over, and if I authorize it again, it tells me I already authorized. So frustrating! I deactivated the old PC and activated the new one.
Also, I purchased a song from iTunes store and while it shows in my library on the PC, it won't download to the iPod. Why won't the new song download to the iPod?
Any ideas. suggestions?

Well Authorize the Computer...........

I changed my Apple ID and it's still showing my old ID and won't let me sign in. Do I have to wait so long?

I Changed my apple ID two days ago and verified it threw my email. When I try to download an app it still shows my old apple is and won't let me download. am I doing something wrong?

OK, so did you change to the new ID on your device in:
Settings>iTunes & App Store
Settings>iCloud (if you did not delete the old iCloud account before you changed your Apple ID, then post back for instructions on how to delete it)
Settings>Messages>Send & Receive
Settings>FaceTime
You need to sign out the old Apple ID in all of these places and sign on the new one.

Firfox 4 seems to have Yahoo! as the default search engine and won't let me change this to Google or any other. Is this a flaw in the system??

What more info do you need? I just can't get Firefox 4 to let me change my search engine to Google and there's nowhere in the tools menu to help.
Also, Firefox is a lot slower to load than, say Safari or Chrome. Do you have a good excuse for this??

I changed the email on my Apple ID and iCloud account, but my iPhone still thinks it's the old iCloud email and won't let me change it. How do I switch the emails on the iPhone?

It won't let me delete iCloud or sign out without SIGNING IN with my old email, which doesn't exist anymore.
It shows no option to sign in with my new email/password and the popups are getting obnoxious.
Now Apple is telling me I can't edit my own post?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

•Go to appleid.apple.com

•Change it to the "old" ID
•Save Changes
•Turn off "Find my device" under •Settings>iCloud
•(Using current password)
•Delete Account under Settings>iCloud
•(Using current password)
•Repeat this process for any affected device
•Go to appleid.apple.com
•Manage Account
•Sign in with "old" ID (current password)
•Edit Primary Email Address
•Save Changes
•Verify Primary Email Address
•Sing into each device with "current" ID under •Settings>iCloud

ICloud has the wrong I'd and keeps coming on my screen and won't let me change it this is an iPhone 5c and I can't use the phone

MMy iPhone has the wrong I'd in the iCloud settting and it keeps coming on and asking for a pass word that doesn't exist and neither does the id So what to do to get rid of it because I can't use my phone! It won't let me do anything

If so, go to id.apple.com, manage apple id, sign in with current id, edit email back to the one showing in icloud settings. You can now sign out of icloud with your current password. Then back to id.apple.com, change your email back to the current one, verify it and sign back in to icloud.

Yosemite will not install and won't let me change startup disk, it's saying there is a file system problem but disk utilities can't fix it.

I Downloaded the Yosemite upgrade and went to install it on my iMac. The install failed saying file System needed repair. Ran disk utility could do the verify but the repair button was grayed out. When I tried to change startup disk back it wouldn't let me , saying it couldn't gather enough file info. So I'm stuck and can't boot my Mac. How do I get out of this?

Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Try to reboot normally.

When I try to log into iCloud the login page offers me my old email address rather than my newer one - and for which I have created a new password. I am unable to activate iCloud. Suggestions welcome.

Earlier, I changed my Apple account details to reflect my new email address. I also changed the password. iCloud seems not to 'know' this. It's service is disabled until I login in. But the default email address shown on the login page is the old email address. I can find no way of telling I cloud that I have new account details.

To change the account, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your revised credentials. If they aren't accepted, recreate the old ID at https://appleid.apple.com/ and changing the primary email address back to the old one (no need to verify the email account). Then sign out of the old ID on your Mac, providing your current password if prompted. Once you have signed out, change your ID back again, then go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign back in with your updated credentials.
