After I converted to OS5, the iCloud user name on my iPad is set to my email address, not my iCloud User ID.  How can I change it.  It's correct on my iPhone and MacBook.

You'll need to save the documents first from the incorrect iCloud account, sign out then sign in to the correct iCloud account and upload the documents to that account.

  • I have changed my apple email address and icloud is asking me to sign in under my old email then saying my password is incorrect how can i change it pls

    I have changed my apple id but when i try to log into icloud etc it lists my old id therefore my password is wrong as there is no such account now, how do i change this to show my new id and get into my account

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. 
    If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • My Apple ID changed back to an old ID when I installed last update on my iPhone 5s.  How can I change it back to match what is on my MacBook Pro and iPad?

    Hi GlendaGirl,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're unexpectedly seeing the incorrect Apple ID on your iPhone 5s. You can use these steps to sign out of iCloud on your iPhone 5s and sign in with the right Apple ID:
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account [Sign Out in iOS 8.] Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
    From:

    You cannot combine two different Apple ID's into one ID.

  • I changed my email address and now cannot play items purchased with previous email. This only became a problem after I got a new computer. The original email address no longer even exists. How can I access these hundreds of items?

    I changed my email address a few years ago. I did not have any problems after this change until I got a new computer. Now I cannot play items that were purchased under the previous email. I entered the password that I used and it doesn't recognize it. I tried "forgot your password" in every combination possible. I never received any emails at the old email address. Now the old email address no longer even exists. How can I access these hundreds of items?

    The old email address may well still be valid as your iTunes AppleID, however if you have no other email associated with that ID you clearly won't get any automated emails to it.
    I still use an old defunct email for my iTunes AppleID.
    Contact support here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/
    You may want to try to manage the old ID here:
    https://appleid.apple.com/
    Use the original email address and password.

  • I have used the resume tablet and put my resume into format but when emailing it, it will not open on windows. How can I change the format to where they will be able to open and view it?

    I have used the resume tablet and put my resume into format but when emailing it, it will not open on windows. How can I change the format to where they will be able to open and view it?

    I guess you mean one of the resume templates.
    What "format" have you saved your finished resume in?
    The only formats a Windows user will be able to open are .doc (Word), .pdf and rtf. The 1st 2 are usually the best.
    There is no Windows version of Pages.

  • HT4623 How can i download ios 7.1 without using my iphone and itunes

    How can i download ios 7.1 without using my iphone and itunes

    If you don't use your phone and you don't use iTunes, what are you expecting to use? Your options to update your device are Over The Air through Settings>General>Software Update or by connecting the device to iTunes and updating.
    Best of luck.

  • I have problem with the security question which i forgot the answer how can i change it as i already have apple id and password

    I have problem with the security question which i forgot the answer how can i change it as i already have apple id and password

    You may reset the password on your account by opening https://iforgot.apple.com/ in Safari and entering your Apple ID (your email address, which the moderators should have removed earlier).
    You won't be able to set the password to your email address, or a recently-used password (if I remember correctly).
    Once you change your password, you should update your password on your iOS device in Settings > iTunes & App Store, then tapping the "Apple ID: <username>" cell at the top to re-enter your password.  (Your iOS device may prompt you for the new password before getting to Settings as well.)
    Hope that helps.  If you have a different issue, please post a follow-up message.

    Just downloaded iBooks on my iPad and its not accepting my security answers how can I change that?

    Delete the data for the guest network on the iPhone, iPad, etc.
    Log on to the "Guest" network
    On the home screen, tap Settings, tap Wireless, tap on the name of  your wireless network, tap Forget This Network.
    Now log onto the network that you want to use, and the iPhone / iPad will connect to that network automatically in the future.

  • I bought pages ages ago using an iTunes account that no longer works as the email address has been closed down. How can I now update my Pages app, if it asks me to sign in using this now defunct email address?

    I bought Pages ages ago using an iTunes account that no longer works as the email address has been closed down. How can I now update my Pages app, if it asks me to sign in using this now defunct email address?

    All apps are always tied to the account from whaich they were purchased and will always have to be updated using that account.
    Just because the e-mail account is shut down, has nothing to do with the itunes account. Why did you create a new account?  Why not just change the e-mail associated with the old account?

  • Hi i forgot my sercurity questions and apple sent me the answers on a email that doesnt work any more so how can i change that and send it to another email

    i dont know my sercurity questions and apple sent me the ansers to a email that no longer works so how can i change it to the right wmail and get my answers.

    How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
    Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
    Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
    Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.  This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't work, or  there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
    Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    (If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.
    Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
    Click the blue 'Continue' button.
    Select the contact option that suits your needs best.
    Make sure to tell Apple Support to include an alternate email address for the iForgot email, other than your inactive one.  Then, log into appleid.apple.com, and change your primary and rescue email addresses to ones that you can actually access.
