HT204053 I have set up a new Icloud ID  using a new email address on my I mac however my Iphone Icloud ID is still using an old email address that is no longer in use.  How do I change my ICloud ID on my Iphone to that on my  IMac computer. I only want 1

How do I change  my  Icloud ID on my Iphone to match my ICloud ID on my IMac computer? My phone has an old email address that is no longer in use.  I have a new email address that I have used as my ICloud ID ( Apple ID )  on my IMac.  I want to be able to send photos from my Imac  to my Icloud account  and see view them with my Iphone.  Can you help me ?? Thanks

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 iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. 
When you do this, you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this happens, and if 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 iPhone 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 iPhone 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.

    But why if you're running 10.6 do you need to do this? AW works fine in 10.6 with Rosetta.

  • My itunes account is set up with an email that is no longer active.  How do I change the email on the account?

    I initially set up my itunes account with my work email address.  Now that I no longer work there, I want to have my apple ID associated with my personal email address.  Do I need to create an entire new account or is there a way to just change the email address?

    You can change it.  At the top of iTunes, click Store > View My Account, log in with your password, View Account.  To the right of your Apple ID click the word Edit, and it will take you to a page where you can edit your email address.
    You are right to avoid creating a new account if at all possible, since having multiple accounts usually causes complications down the line.

  • I changed my email on my iphone but my phone still says my old email, how do i change it?

    The guy i bought my iPhone 4s from messed up my email on my phone so now i cant get apps ive changed my email on here and my password , but my phone still has the old one and when i try and get an app it & i type in my password it says my password is incorrect when it is. so my question is how do i fix it?

  • Had to change my Apple ID because the original email address is no longer valid.  How do I change the iCloud user name on iMac?  I found instructions about signing out of iCloud and signing back end.  It asks questions about contact, etc.

    Had to change Apple ID due to email address no longer valid.  Trying to change id for icloud...saw direction online about signing out of icloud and signing back in...when it ask questions about contacts, photos, etc. being deleted how do I answer those?  That just sort of freaks me out.

    For the ones that give you an option, select the option you want (keep on the Mac or Delete). For the ones that are simply warning you, click on Delete from Mac.
    They will all come back when you sign back on, since all you did was change your existing Apple ID to a new email address. It's the same iCloud account, just with a different name.
    It's the only way to get your updated ID signed onto iCloud.

  • How do I change my iCloud email account

    Can you share an icloud account with another iphone user?  Both my husband and myself share the same itunes acocunt and so when I set up icloud I just shared this too and intially it worked ok.  However, we changed email address and I cannot get it to change on my husbands phone!  we have just upgraded to an iphone 5S and its still showing the old email account.  I have managed to changed the apple ID, so can't understand why I can't change his icloud settings.  Which is why I am wondering if he needs to have his own Apple ID and icloud account?  Thanks.

    Unless you have a specific reason to share an account for iCloud, you are generally better using seperate ID's. This doesn't stop you using a shared ID for iTunes so that you can continue to use your shared content.
    However, there is also no reason you shouldn't be able to update your ID details on your husbands phone if you do decide to share an ID for iCloud.
    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")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another 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.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

    You can't delete an existing account, you can only choose to stop using it.  It will still be there should you decide to use it again in the future.

  • HT204053 I have two apple ids (one on itunes and one on icloud) I want them to be the same.  How do I change my icloud id?

    I have somehow got an apple ID for my itunes but a different one for my icloud.  How can I change my icloud ID?

    If you want to move your iCloud account to another existing ID you'll have to delete the existing account, set up a new account with the other ID, then upload your data to the new account.  To do this, begin by going to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your phone.  After everything is turned off you can scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up the new account with your other ID and turn syncing for calendars, contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload your data to the new account.  Note: this will not migrate your photo stream photos.  You will need to save these prior to deleting the existing account.

  • HT204053 how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

    how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

    Hi sparkie,
    You cannot change your iCloud email address. It is an @me.com address, and is associated specifically with that iCloud account. If you want a different @me address assigned, you have to delete the current iCloud account and set up a new one.
    Here is a link with all the support information for iCloud:

    Hope this helps!

    You mean for Office apps? That, I don't know for sure as I don't use MS Office on my Mac. I would check to see if there is some sort of MS Office uninstaller that needs to be run before dragging the icons to Trash. Either from one of the Office apps Help or About or search the Internet for a solution.
    EDIT: A quick Google search found this link which may help you.

  • TS3988 How can I change my iCloud ID? I moved and the email I used to set it up no longer exists.

    I want to correct my iCloud ID as the email address I used to set it up will no longer exist when I move.
    If I delete the account it says will delete all my contact, calendar, etc. data from my device and I could not deal with that.
    How can I change it and save my data on my devices?

    I have already changed my Apple ID, but now I need to change my ICLOUD ID.
    I can delete the iCloud ID, but then it tells me that it will delete all the data from my device - calendars, contacts etc. which would be totally unacceptable. One of the other threads says you can select save my data, but unless that option is buried it does not appear on the deletion screen.
    So the question remains - how do I change my iCloud ID to a valid email address.  The one I used to set it up will go away in a week when I move and cancel my present Internet service.  Comcast doesn't provide service where we're moving so the email address will go away.

    How can I change my iCloud id to match my new apple id on my iphone?

    To change the ID you have to delete the account, provide the password, then sign back in with the new ID.  If it isn't accepting the password, do the following...
    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.

    I apologize. I didn't see that you hadn't updated to iOS 7. That's an iOS 7 option. With iOS 6, you'd need to restore the device as new. Note that that will result in your phone being updated to iOS 7.
    Best of luck.
