How to change my apple id for setting up icloud

I just changed my Apple ID. Now I want to set up iCloud on my iPhone. But it is defaulting to my old Apple ID and I can't find a way to change it.

Thank you for your reply
I wonder why I can't use @me.com as my primary ID and address? That's a little foolish, if you ask me....

  • How to change the apple id for daughter's icloud

    We bought our daughter an iphone last year. When we set the phone up for her we used my apple id for her icloud. Now she has her own apple id and would like to have her own icloud. When we go into the icloud settings on her phone it will not allow us to change her apple id. It looks like we can delete the account. If we do this will it delete my icloud account and information? Will this delete all her photos on her phone? Is there another way we can change the icloud apple id on her phone without deleting the account?

    It won't affect your info on your devices. It will remove her photo stream photos but not her camera roll photos, yes you need to delete the account.

  • How to change an apple ID for iCloud only.

    Hi,
    I am trying to set up my kids iPods before Christmas morning.  I want their iPhones to have their own apple ID's for iCloud so we don't sync contacts, etc.  I want us to still share an ID for iTunes, which is set up.  Here is the question:
    Do I just.....Go into iCloud on the iPod and press "delete this account" and set up a new iCloud account? 
    Is it that simple, or will "deleting this account" delete the iCloud account associated with that apple ID on ALL devices including my IPad and IPhone?
    To be clear, I currently have the same apple ID for store and iCloud on all four devices.  All I want to do is for two iPods to have new, separate apple ID's for iCloud, without compromising the iCloud account on my iPhone and iPad.  I hope I can.....otherwise I have to take all of these devices back lol!
    Thanks.....

    Answer to my own question in case anyone else is wondering:
    If you have an iCloud account on a device and you would like to have your apple ID changed ....just go to settings>iCloud>delete this account....and then you can make a new iCloud account with a new apple ID for just that device!  This way you can have one apple ID shared for iTunes in order to share purchases, and then everyone can have their own iCloud account in order to keep messages, contacts, etc separate and personal.

  • How to change the Apple ID for iPhotos and iMovies(The first ID used in the mac book)?

    I found that every time when I want to update the iphotos and imovies and the native apps in the mac book it is needed to use the first apple id that used for the first time you turn on the mac book.
    Since that id is not used now and i want to change it, any body knows how to change it?
    And although my current admin id has changed, but still when updating iphotos the very first id is needed...

    Correct.  Apps are Tied to the Apple ID that Purchased them...
    From Here   http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • How to change my Apple ID for iCloud?

    Hey there,
    I have a simple enough question. When I originally signed up with Apple, I was using my Gmail account, so that became my Apple ID. However, I've been slowly migrating off of Gmail as I much prefer my new Apple email address (@me.com). For a whole host of reasons, including my disapproval of Google's latest turns in general, I'd rather move completely to @me.com than stay with Gmail.
    So, en bref, how do I go about changing my Apple ID? I'd rather be identified with my new and shiny (and sparkly) Apple email, @me.com, than Gmail.
    Is there any way to do that?
    I know I could just keep Gmail for the ID but I'd rather really just eventually wean myself off of it.
    Thanks for any info.
    Nat.

    Thank you for your reply

  • How to change my Apple ID for iTunes & Support Communities

    I currently have my personal domain email address as my Apple ID for iTunes, Apple Support Communities, and for iCloud (though I haven't setup a .me email address yet in iCloud).  I want to stop using my personal domain email address and create a .me address in iCloud that will be my only email address.  The problem is that I need to have a valid email address as my Apple ID in iTunes and I won't have it any longer once I switch email addresses to the new .me address I will create.
    Before I do something wrong here, does anyone know how I can create a new .me address in iCloud, and then use that email address as my iTunes, Support Communities, and iCloud Apple ID?

    Disregard my question...found out I don't need to do this.  Evidently I can't delete the post, even though there are no replies.

  • I need to change my apple ID for my iPhone iCloud account

    I changed my apple ID  and password on my mac but the old ID is still on my iphone 4.  When it ask for me to  verify my ID for icloud, it shows the old ID and it will not accept the old password or the new one.  How can I fix this problem ?  My icloud account has the new ID and the new password and it works fine, it just will not work on my iphone.  HELP!!!

    If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new 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, 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.

  • How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7?

    How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7? When I updated to iOS7 it kept my old ID on some features and my new one on others. I was able to change my Apple ID on all apps except iCloud. I don't have the original email account I used when setting up my iPhone with the old Apple ID and I have no clue what the password was. It appears I first need to turn off "Find my iPhone" which requires the old Apple ID, then I can delete the iCloud account. I want to use my current Apple ID to be able to use the "Find my iPhone" feature in iOS7. I hope someone can help!!

    GmaL2 wrote:
    That doesn't help. It's an old email that doesn't work anymore. Please read the entire post. iOS7 won't let you delete iCloud unless you have the password for the old/inactive email/Apple ID.
    You never mentioned that you didn't have access to that email.  There are some specific steps you can perform to retrieve the old Apple ID password.

  • My iPhone will not allow me to edit my Apple ID in iCloud and so I cannot sync my phone. How do I change my Apple ID for iCloud for my phone?

    I recently changed my email address and updated my Apple account profile to reflect the new address. This changed my Apple ID for signing into Apple store and making purchases as expected. I am however undable to get iCloud account to recognize the new Apple ID. I have gone in through settings on my iPhone and in iCloud Account Information attempted to change the Apple ID but the field is muted and will not permit editing. I have looked all through Support in iTunes Store and cannot find any information on how to get iCloud to accept my new Apple ID.
    Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

  • How do I change my Apple ID for iCloud without losing my data?

    I really seem to have made a mess of my transition to iCloud :-(  I have had an Apple ID for many years - it's my @gmail.com email address.  I also have an @mac.com email address and, because I was a subscriber to MobileMe I have an @me.com email address, too.
    I only recently upgraded my MacBook to OS X 10.7.4 after buying an iPad and deciding that I would like to be able to sync information between my MacBook, iPhone (3GS) and iPad.
    I believe my problems started when I bought the iPad about a month ago on a trip to New York.  I didn't have my MacBook with me to check which Apple ID I should use.  I set up my iPad with my @gmail.com address as my Apple ID.  When I returned home I discovered that my iCloud ID on my MacBook is my @mac.com email address.
    I thought I could simply change the Apple ID on my iPad but I've not found any way that I can do that.
    The problems I'm experiencing relate mainly to Calendars - I now have multiple entries for events on all my devices.  I also have multiple entries for people in my Address Book and Contacts.
    What I would like to do is -
    1) retain my @gmail.com address as my Apple ID for the iTunes Store and purchases - this is the one I've always used and I have lots of purchases associated with it.
    2) change my Apple ID for iCloud from my @gmail.com address to my @mac.com address so that I can also sync my Mail and, hopefully, eliminate the occurrence of multiple calender entries
    If I were to delete my current @gmail.com address Apple ID on my iPad will I lose the data associated with this ID?
    Cheers

    Thank you for responding to my question so promptly!  My Apple ID for my iCloud account on my MacBook is the correct (i.e. my @mac.com) email address.  Do I need to sign out and then sign back in after I have changed/updated my details on my iPad?
    When I look at the 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars' details on my iPad under the heading 'Accounts' it first shows my @me.com account and the items under that account are 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Find My iPad' - when I expand the account details it shows that my iCloud Account is actually my @mac.com email adddress.
    The second entry is iCloud which is currently my @gmail.com account.  Under this account are 'Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Reminders, PhotoStream, Documents & Data, Backup.
    The third account is headed Gmail and is, indeed, my @gmail.com account, too.  Under this account it shows 'Mail, Calendars, Notes'.
    Am I correct in suspecting that the reason for my having multiple occurrences of both events in Calendars and people in Contacts is because more than one account is syncing Contacts and Calendars?
    Thank you for your help
    Cheers
