Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then setup iCloud with your new ID.
You can't change the Apple ID for your iCloud account, you have to delete it.

  • How can I change the "Full Name" for my iCloud account?

    Hello,
    At some point in the past, iCloud started identifying me as someone else when I send emails. This incorrect name appears to be the "Full Name" setting of the email account, but when modifying the properties for the email account in Mail the field for modifying the "Full Name" setting is disabled, not allowing me to make any changes.
    Where is the correct place to change the "Full Name" setting for my iCloud account?
    Thanks,
    - Josh

    I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.
    Also, if you are trying to change the sender name for your iCloud email account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail (Command-Q) on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

  • I registered the wrong information for my iCloud account--I misspelled and now want to change it.  Help is needed to delete the account and start anew.

    I registered the the wrong information for my iCloud account--I misspelled the account name.  I accidentally spelled blackberry instead of blackbird.  How can I change this?

    If you don't want to use an alias you'll have to create a new account as you cannot change the @icloud.com address once created.  You'll have to create a new ID, verify the ID, then use the ID to create the new account, and migrate your iCloud data to the new account.
    If you are currently syncing data with iCloud, begin by saving any photo stream photos to your camera roll as mentioned above.  If you are syncing Notes with iCloud, you'll also need to open each of them and email them to yourself so they can be recreated in the new account.  Finally, if you are syncing any iWork documents with iCloud, turn off iCloud syncing in your iWork app settings.
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then in Settings>iCloud tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom, set up your new ID, verify the email address you use to create it by responding to Apple's verification email, then sign in with the new ID to create your new account.  Turn on your iCloud sync settings and choose Merge when prompted to upload your data to the new account.  When you turn Mail to On you will be prompted to create your new @icloud.com email address.  Be carefull to type it correctly as it cannot later be changed.

  • HT4436 is there a way to change the apple ID on an Icloud account? I used to share everything with my daughter but she's old enough we need to separate the accounts.. I would like to "give" the ICloud account to her, because all of her games are on it.

    Is there a way to change the apple ID on an Icloud account? I would like to "give" an ICloud account to my daughter. We used to share one, but she's getting older I would like to split our accounts. She has her own Apple ID but since all her games are on this ICloud account, I would like to give it to her and start my own.

    You can migrate your device and a copy of the iCloud data to a new account.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your daughter's device won't be effected by this), choose Keep on My iPad and provide the password when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data.
    Once you are on separate accounts you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
    The existing iCloud email account cannot be moved to your new account so you will need to give your contacts your new email address if you are giving the account to your daughter.

  • How can I revert to a backup for my icloud account?

    I bought my wife a new IMac which works great.  The problem is that icloud pushed all my phone contacts to her imac after I signed on to my iphone/istore account using her imac.  I deleted all the contacts from her imac (bad move) which in turn deleted all my years of contacts from my iphone 4.  I did a sync with my phone to itunes on my PC and did a revert for my iphone.  This worked great but when I went within cell range it erased all my contacts again.  I did another sync with my phone and turned off icloud on my phone.  My contacts are now on my phone only.  How can I get these many contacts back on icloud without physically retyping?  Can I make my old iphone backup the current icloud database?  Help!

    This will help this from happening again but my question remains;  Can I make my old iphone backup the current database for my icloud account?  I want to activate icloud on my phone again and have my contacts backed up without erasing them.  I am going to set up a new icloud account for my wife's imac to prevent future problems. 

  • I have changed my apple id email address but i cant change the id address for my icloud account on my iphone? how do i do that?

    i have changed my apple id and password but it hasnt changed on my icloud account and i cant seem to chage it on my iphone. how do i change it from my old email id address to my new one?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

  • How do I get an iCloud email address for an iCloud account that is already set up?

    When I set up my wife's iCloud account, I used her regular email address.  Now, when I try to iMessage her from my iPhone (4s), I am successful when I am on a wifi but not via my cellular connection.  I can iMessage other users.  I believe this is due to her not having an iCloud email address on her iCloud account.  I suspect that when my message is sent via cellular, it tries to go to her actual email address which fails.  She is able to iMessage me regardless of my connection from her iPad (4th).
    Does anyone know how to add an iCloud address to an existing iCloud account?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Thanks Jim.  I'm pretty sure it is set up correctly.  The only issue the ipad has is it dies not receive messages from my iphone when the iphone is not on wifi.  She can send/receive imessages to/from others and from my iphone when it is on wifi.  

  • Is there a way to set a default From address for my iCloud account?

    Is there a way to have mail use my .mac address as my preferred iCloud address?  I have mail configured to set the From header based on the account I'm accessing, so my work email will come from my work account, and my personal email will come from my personal account.  I'd like to keep that configuration.
    Unfortunately, I use my .mac address for my personal email, and Apple keeps attaching new, unwanted email addresses to my iCloud account (.mac.com, .me.com and now .icloud.com).  Mail somehow sees three addresses on my iCloud account, and defaults the From header to .me.com.   For a variety of reasons, including personal preference, I don't ever want to use the .me.com or .icloud.com addresses.
    Alternately, is there a way to delete the unwanted .me.com and .icloud.com addresses?
    Thanks

    I appreciate the reply, but it only gets me partway there.  I already have that option set to 'Account of selected mailbox' so that replies to email on my work account (a non-iCloud account) come from my work email address.
    My problem is my personal mail is on an iCloud account that, thanks to Apple, now has three email addresses associated with it.  So when I reply to a personal email,  the 'Account of selected mailbox' option frequently, but not always, chooses the wrong iCloud address for the From field.
    Ideally, I'd like to be able to tell Mail that it should use my .mac address for email from my iCloud account, and my work address for mails from my work account.  I'd like it to never use the .me or .icloud addresses.  I don't think there's an automatic way to do that.
    I'll likely end up filing a bug report with Apple.

  • How do i change the email address for this iCloud account

    I have just set up my new iMac.  When asked for an email address, I set up a new one instead of using the email address used for my icloud used in my ipad.  How do I apply the old email address to icloud on the imac so that my calendars and email synchronise on all machines?

    Sign out in System Preferences>iCloud then sign in with the ID used on your iPad.

  • I don't know why, but the email address for my iCloud account belongs to some random person! Is there any possible way to change it?

    When I logged into iCloud to check it out, my iCloud mail thing seemed to belong to some stranger. I don't really know what happened.

    What do you mean nothing.
    If it shows $0.00 then that's nothing, that's zero. If it shows truely nothing then you are not logging in with an account that had store credit. Or not logging in at all.
    Click on your name so the triangle appears, then click on Account for more details.

  • How do I change the Apple ID on my iCloud account??

    I've tried some of the posts on here and I'm still having trouble. I recently got the iPhone 4S and I need to restore my settings but I don't remember the password to the apple ID on my new phone and I haven't found a way to change it. Please help!!

    If you forgot your password, reset it here: https://iforgot.apple.com.  Then to change it on your phone do the following:
    For purchasing go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores (Settings>Store in iOS 5), tap the ID, sign out, sign back in using your new password.
    For iMessage, do the same thing in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5).
    For FaceTime, do this in Settings>FaceTime.
    For iCloud, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This only deletes the account from the phone, not from iCloud.  It also deletes any data you are syncing with your iCloud account from your phone, but not from iCloud.)  Then sign back into your iCloud account using your new password and turn syncing back on to sync your data back to your phone.  (If prompted, choose Merge.)

  • Reset Apple ID on my iphone 5s thru itunes. However, I can not change my apple ID for my icloud account on 5S. pl help

    Please help with changing Apple ID for icloud account on iPHone 5S. I have reset my Apple ID on iphone using itunes and app tab on settings.

    Hello there, KunnufromAndover.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides great information on steps to take after you've made changes to your Apple ID:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. 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.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • When I put in the right password for my ICloud  account on my Ipad, it keeps reverting to another password.

    I have an Apple Id and a password but the password is different on my Ipad and Iphone. When I reset the password on the Ipad and Iphone, it doesn't save but keeps reverting to an old password which is not the same as my current Apple password - so the computer and the Ipad/Ophone are not syncing. Any suggestions about how to get the right password to stay on the Ipad and Iphone?????

    Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out...
    Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.

    Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID
