Hi All,
Iâll do my best to make this as sequential as I can. Yesterday, Apple Support advised me to change my Apple ID. I went to appleid.apple.com to do that, but that method wasnât working correctly, so I had to go to the Apple Store today for help. The Apple Rep had me Sign Out of iCloud, then (as best as I can remember) the Rep went to Settings->[my name] and tapped on âSign In,â and as I recall, I entered my new Apple ID and password. Done! Good!
I changed the Apple ID on my *new* iPad, I have an *old* iPad too, on which the *old* Apple ID was *not* changed.
When I got back to my place, I turned on my *new* iPad, and most of my iCloud content was gone!
Example: Photos- *New* iPad- 150 photos. *Old* iPad- 1,811 photos!
Example: Notes- *New* iPad- No notes at all. *Old* iPad- In âAll iCloud,â thereâs 467 notes!
I *did* configure, in Settings, for all Photos and Notes to be stored in iCloud.
I didnât know that changing my Apple ID would have this effect on iCloud. Is it possible to have my iCloud content from the *old* iPad transferred to the *new* one? Thatâs my main point in posting this.
Having been hacked a while back (and still working on resolving that), when something unexpected happens to my iPad, I wonder if the reason for that is because thereâs something I donât know, or was the hacker up to some monkey business again.
Does anyone have any input on this rather odd situation?
Thanks for Reading!
