TS3988 How can I change my iCloud account and password? If I delete the account, I do not want all info deleted.

I want to change my iCloud account and password without losing info that has been backed up.

Your iCloud account ID and password are the AppleID and password you used when you created the account.  As fromsouth says, change the password for the AppleID and you've changed it for your iCloud login.  You can also change the primary email address of that AppleID if you need to.

  • HT4623 How can I change my Icloud account on my ipad to the one I use on my iphone?

    How can I change my Icloud account on my ipad to the one I use on my iphone?
    For example on my iphone I log in with a yahoo account.  My ipod was originally set up with another e-mail account (which I can't remember the password).  I want to use the yahoo e-mail and the password associated with it to log on to both devices.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    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.

    Hey Lakedrive442,
    It sounds like you have changed your Apple ID which you use with iTunes.  If so there are several places you may need to update it as outlined in this article.

    Of course some might not apply, but many might.
    Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

    If it's your non-iCloud mail address, start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account
    If it is your iCloud mail address you want to change, you can't.

  • How can i change old icloud account on my 4s ios 8.1.1?

    i recently "upgraded" my old iphone 4 and bought a secondhand 4s, i forgot to ask the owner to reset the phone but it was pretty blank and now I can't change his icloud account to mine.... Any ideas on how to do that? I have some files on my icloud that I Rather not lose. Please help me with a way to do this. By-the-way the owner's icloud was made with an old email address made just for this iphone and used it only on activation....(and he is kind of a jerk)

    Hi Mihai.rxn,
    Based on your description, it sounds like the phone in question may still be Activation Locked to the previous owner's Apple ID. If that is the case, you may find the following article helpful:

  • How can I change my icloud address and pass word ( not Apple ID)

    I am trying to sync music on my iphone and it doesn't back up while syncing and when done there is a problem with the new music and it has a small cloud next to all the tracks that aren't playing and I dont have the info for my old icloud I had created. Plzhelp

    Your personal iCloud account has nothing to do with this.  Your ability to sync music to your device is based on your computer being authorized for the ID used to purchase it.  When you sync, that authorization transfers to your device as well.  There is a limit on the number of different IDs your device can be authorized for.  I believe the number is 5.  That is, you can have media on your device that was purchase from no more than 5 different IDs.
    If that isn't the issue, try posting over in the iTunes forum.  They can probably help you figure out what the syncing issue is.
    Changing your iCloud ID and password won't help with this issue.  Also, just as an FYI, an iCloud ID is also an Apple ID, and you change it the same way you change any other Apple ID.

  • 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.
