If I change the password for my icloud account will it also change my apple ID password?

the two passwords are the same now - If I change my icloud password does that automatically change my apple ID password or do I have to change it seperately?

If you change the password for your iCloud ID, you have to change it on any services you use the ID for on your device.  If you use the same ID for purchasing, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in using your new password.  If you use it for iMessage, do the same thing in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive.  If you use it for FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
To change it for iCloud, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in using your new password.  When you delete the account it only deletes the account and your synced data from yor iPad, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your iPad when you sign back in.

    Hi karen615,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you cannot reset your Apple ID password via security questions, you can reset via email authentication. If you are not receiving the email, it may be necessary to contact Apple Support using the link in the Get help section toward the bottom of the article.

  • How do I change the email for my icould account on my iphone 4s?

    I have an iPhone 4S. I have an old email for my icloud that shows on my iPhone 4S. My actual Appleid is a new one that I've had for awhile now. The iPhone when hooked up via USB to my computer is signed in under my new email, however keeps the old email for the iCloud even after the update and sync. Can someone please help me? There is no "Delete Account," when you go to Settings either. Someone else suggested that and it's just not there. I am really hoping that I do not have to completely reset the iPhone.

    Hey JT_BARRETT,
    Thanks for the question. You are definitely on the right track. You’ll want to follow these instructions for updating your iPhone with your new iCloud account. Please note that “Delete Account” had changed in iOS 8 to “Sign Out”:
    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,
    Matt M.

  • If i delete/change the ID on my I pad, will it also delete on my other Ipad, both have same ID  by PWS43      in Using iPad

    If i delete/change the ID on my I pad, will it also delete on my other Ipad, both have same ID.  What else will it change?

    Before you do anything, please note that all your purchases made with your Apple ID and iTunes account, are forever tied to that ID and account.   You will not be able to update apps unless you use the Apple ID used to download them.  You will not be able to access music if you delete it from your device, it will not show as purchased.
    (Really sick and tired of trying to fix this AFTER it becomes a huge problem for users)

  • Can i change the order of my icloud accounts in the calendar app

    I have several icloud calendar accounts and they are not in the order I would prefer. Can that order be changed?

    I think you can just drag them up and down in the list, the same way you re-order calendars.  I only have one iCloud account, but I also have a Google account with one calendar on it and I can reorder this so it appears either above or below my iCloud acount.

  • I have an iPad 2 and I cannot remember the password for my icloud account.  The problem is that the id and password I used I no longer have and since I cannot remember the password I am stuck trying to use many functions on my IPad HELP PLEASE!!!

  • For my iCloud account, how do I change the "full name" that appears as the sender?

    On my iCloud IMAP email account, the account lists my "full name" as the sender.  How do I change this to a nickname?  Curently, that "full name" rectangle is grayed out so I don't know how to change what's there.  Thanks for your help!

    You need to change this on the iCloud website, http://icloud.com - go to the Mail page, click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Preferences', then click 'Accounts' in the toolbar of the pane which opens.
    Select the main account and you can change the Full Name. If you have aliases you will have to change it separately for each of them.

  • How do I change the country for my iCloud id

    Hi,
    I have moved from the UK to France. I would like to buy some extra storage on iCloud, but would like to pay in €, not in £. Could not find a way to do this. Found links like I cannot change my country in iCloud but looks like things changed on OSX Yosemite, so I cannot reproduce...
    Thanks for any help.

  • My old ID was disabled so I created a new one for the new phone, but when I go to the apple store on my phone it says to enter a password for my old account, how do i change the id to my new one?

    I went to the settings and entered my new account info with the new apple ID but everytime I try to download something it is asking me to enter the password for the old ID(which is disabled)

    Maybe the App Store is still open with the old info?
    Try this:
    Restart your iPhone
    Press Settings and then Store
    Press your Apple ID and choose sign out
    Press Home button
    Go back to Settings > Store and then sign in with new ID/password.

  • How do i change the email on my icloud account?

    A few months ago i changed the email used for my apple ID to a gmail and I used this for ITunes and App Store. However a few weeks ago my iPhone was water damaged and i had to send it off for repair, when i got it back I signed in to my apple ID using the gmail email so I could restore my phone using iCloud. This worked until it asked me to sign in again to download all my old apps using my old apple ID and every time i go to settings - iCloud it asks me to sign in using my old email and i cannot click on it to change it to my new gmail one so i cannot download all my apps. Any suggestions?

    Apps and music purchased  from iTunes etc are locked to the Apple id used to make the purchase forever
    No way to change that

  • HT204053 how do I change the details in my icloud account information.?:

    for some reason it is showing my daughters email address in the account information and where it says allow sending from again it is her details and I cant change it.  Does anyone know how.  It shows this on all our ipods, ipads and iphones..

    It sounds like you are signed in to your daughters iCloud account on all your devices.
    Delete the account from Settings > iCloud on the devices you don't want it on, and then sign back in again with your own iCloud account. You will then have access to your own iCloud account info and email.

  • Is there a way to change the icon associated with icloud account?

    Is there a way to change the icon associated with my iCloud account? It's currently a rose and i do not like it.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Are you referring to your iCloud account picture or your user picture?
    It looks like you are referring to your user picture. To change it, open System Preferences > Users & Groups, press the picture box and choose the user picture you want from the ones that came by default. If you want to select a different picture stored on your Mac, drag that photo onto the picture box.
    If you want to change your iCloud account picture, open http://www.icloud.com and log in with your Apple ID. Then, press your name at the top right of the site and press the user picture. If you put the cursor on the picture box, you will see a button at the top of the box to change your picture
