Just downloaded ios 7 and dont have any apps or music...its not syncing with icloud because i had to change my apple id and password. Icloud is still under old id, itunes is not but i cant sync from my back up. I tried deactivating my icloud account and it tells me to enter my password for my old account to turn off "find iphone"??? Password is not working and says invalid. Not sure how to change my icloud account info or how to get my apps and music back.

Hey ValM12,



Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issue relating to the iCloud account after updating to iOS 7. The following articles may help to resolve your issue:

If you recently changed your Apple ID and did not update your Apple ID on your device:


1. Tap Skip This Step to continue.

2. After completing iOS 7 setup, go to Settings > iCloud.

3. Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then enter your previous Apple ID and password.

4. If your Apple ID or password are not accepted, follow the steps in iOS 7: If you're asked for your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud.

3. Change your Apple ID temporarily

If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:


1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.

2. Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.

3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.

4. Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.


Thanks,


Matt M.
