    Hey capt. karo,

     

    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you changed your Apple ID and now are not able to use it on old devices. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

    Thanks Mario49.

    This has been helpful but my icloud on both my ipad and iphone have the old Apple ID set in default and I cannot change it. I have tried changing my apple id back to the previous apple id to resolve this, however because I changed my password too the system will not allow me to use the previous password. So I am getting icloud pop-up with the old apple id on my old devices asking me to to enter my password to log in but I cannot because i changed it. Dont know what to do next.

    I am stuck in a loop on my ipad - I have followed the instructions in your article above - I keep trying to delete icloud but cannot because it still wants me to login with my old id/email which is then rejected because it no longer exists.  STUCK.  What am I to do?  Now none of my Apple devices will sync and this is extremely irritating - to say the least.

     

    I assume that I wont be able to access the backup on my computer either because of this - otherwise I would delete my ipad completely and start again - and I really cannot see why, in this age of hackers etc you wonderful APPLE people have not sorted this problem out.

    I had to change my email addresses because someone with too much time on their hands hacked me.  Now I appear to be stuck.

     

    Please help.
