iOS 7 Apple ID PROBLEM

Exactly the same happened to me. What to do??

Hi,

probably this could solve the problem (it worked for me):

go to "iCloud" in the settinings, then deactivate the "Search/Find"-button. Now push the "Erase Account"-Button(sorry, I don't know wether this is the right term in English).

You should be asked what you want to do with your data. I pushed "save to iphone". After saving the data I was able to type in my actual Apple-ID plus password. Apple-ID was changed without problem, my saved data was synced to my account's data, that's it.

How can I deactivate searth/find from the icloud settings (when I cant do anything there due to the original problem)? Pelase advice 🙂

For me it did work, all of a sudden, my phone accepted my old password again. 😉

Hmm, first i tried my old ID's password. After some unsuccesful tries, i pressed the "Erase Account"-button. It said i had to deactivate the "Search/Find"-button, which i did. There was no password required. I chose "Save data to iphone", was able to delete the old ID, put in the right one - bingo.

I'm not a freak, I just played around, to be honest. And I got no idea if this is reproducable. I will find out updating my ipad later 😀.

For me its not about the password - its about iCloud having my old email address, thats not accepting my current passord. I cant change the email address, so i guess I'll have too spend a couple of hours getting to my nearest Apple Store for some support. Bummer!

I did try your steps, however, it's telling me that the password to my old iCloud account is required. Super frustrating. Anyone have further suggestions?

I forgot: I switched off and turned it on again before I did what I discribed. Maybe that's the key ?!

I waited until IOS7.0.4(11B554a) to avoid such problems... but its not fixed yet. I hit the exact same problem as first post. The posted fix worked, but i will clarify steps i took below:

0. I tried to "reset pswd" before consulting this forum. that did not work. the email was never sent.

1. bypass the apple ID screen... it warns you something wont work, but ignore it.

2. go to settings, icloud, scroll to bottom - hit delete or erase. confirm yes to the warning.

(apparently the search part of the problem has been fixed as i had to do nothing with search).

3. set up new iCloud account with your new Apple ID and password. Merge your data from your phone into iCloud.

4. power off, and restart. enter screen lock pswd, it will then ask for your password with your correct AppleID - and your password will work.

Killed my Sat morning, but at least I now up again...
