I changed my Apple ID from an old email address to a new one. Everything is fine to sign into iCloud, to go to the App Store. BUT, when I go to Find My iPhone to erase an old device I am getting rid of, it defaults to the old email. Help?

Have you changed the address on the old phone? Can you sign out and back in?

Need help find old tex messages that got deleted

Still same

If you were syncing Messages with iCloud and deleted them, they can't be recovered. If you weren't syncing Messages with iCloud, do you have a backup you can restore from? Restoring from a backup erases all data currently on your device. Any data newer than when the backup was made will be erased. A restore is an all or nothing restore. You can't access a backup and only restore certain files.

Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.  

I have the same problem as ShutoutoferaseiPhone: Find My iPhone defaults to the old email address. That address is now non-existent and I do not have the old iPhone that used that email address. How can I get Find My iPhone to use my current email address (AppleID)?

Slightly different problem for me. Every time I order something on the online Apple Store, it sends my confirmation to an old email address that is about to be retired, even though I've updated my email everywhere that I could find to update. How do I change my email associated with Apple Store billing/receipting?

Are you signed into the online store using the Apple ID email address where you want the email associated with the Apple Store to go? Have you gone to the online store, scrolled to the bottom of the page, signed in, and clicked Apple Store Account? Then Account Settings/Payment to see if the email address is correct there?

I tried that, but it just kept reloading the same page that suggested that I change settings in my account.

Try calling 1-800-MY-APPLE for assistance.

Hi, did you manage to sort this out? I'm having a problem. I locked my MacBook air through find my iphone. I've since found it. I login to iCloud account, close the device. Click the unlock pin OLD Apple ID comes up and can't change it. Please help.

Thx
