I was wondering if anyone could help me.

I had an account about 10 years ago that is different to the one now. I cannot remember the log in or the password. Does anyone know if
A) these could be recovered
B) the things uploaded to the cloud would still be there.

I’m certain there are baby photos on there of there of my dd that I would love to recover.

Thank you for your help

I think you can only recover your details if you at least know the login or associated email via a laptop or PC? That may allow you to recover the password and re-set it.

I have no access to old details. I had sold my phone back then to buy a pushchair for my dd. When I finally bought a new phone, I had a new login and and everything

I would have thought anything uploaded to icloud would remain indefinitely.

Regarding your log-in, tbh I don't know if there's a way round it. Apple are extremely secure re log-ins, as I found to my detriment when I managed to lock myself out of my machine.

I ended up having to start afresh using a full system restore from my external hard drive when I messed up my log-in.

you would need to remember the email address you used to set up your itunes account when you had the phone and still have access to it to get a new password

Also, what happened to Fuji apples? I haven't seen them for years.

If you can remember the email address put that in and there's a bit that says what to do if you have foregut your password - follow that.and see if you can get on that way.

There's a help and advice community on the apple website.

Sometimes if I'm stuck I'll just type my question into Google and something will come up

Sorry for typo - on my iPhone and predictive text!!

If you have the email address you set it up with then you can recover the password. Apple are usually @me.com, but you can use any. Try all your old email addresses and then experiment with what could have been the @me one.

Damn. Thank you all anyway. I honestly cannot remember my old log in
