have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud

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 iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and 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 iDevice 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 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 want to switch stores from Japan to USA. I used to have an iTunes card, and there's 15 YEN left in my account, how can I get rid of that so I can start purchasing in the US store using my new credit card?

    I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.

  • I just moved and my iPad location is still showing my old location how do I change that?

    I just moved and my iPad location is still showing my old location how do I change that?

    That's the problem.  A WiFi-only iPad uses a database of router locations to determine location.  Unfortunately, the mechanics behind this database are a tightly-held secret.  Your location may change to the correct one within a week or two or it may take as long as a year!  (I'm not kidding.)  Incidentally, it will help if you're within range of other routers.  Doesn't matter if you pass data through them and also doesn't matter if they're locked.  The only requirement is "within range."
    By the way, you will find that, if you take your iPad away from your house, it will report your location more accurately.

  • I have money on my old account how do I get it on my new one?

    I have money on my old account how do I get it on my new one?

    You can't.
    Why are you setting up a new account anyway? Everything you have ever purchased will forever be tied to the old account, and you'll need to continue to use that account to update apps purchased under it.

  • Hi have changed my email but when trying to purchase from I tunes it is still linked to old email how can I change this please

    The best option is to sign out of all accounts http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796. you will have to remove all of the purchases or the old yahoo account will keep coming up.

  • I have upgraded iPads and my husband uses my old one, how do I change the info so updates etc work in his name

    I have  upgraded to a new ipad 2, my husband has taken over my old ipad I have set up a Apple ID for him etc, how is link the old ipad to his id so my updates no longer show up on his ipad and it is his identity not mine.

    Maybe I am misunderstanding what you mean by "save his programs". If they are apps that you bought with your ID, they really aren't his apps. If they are apps that he bought with his own ID, he can download them again for free as long as he uses the same Apple ID.
    You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another ID. Any apps that you bought on the iPad with your ID will have to be updated by using your Apple ID and password. If he bought apps with his own ID, he needs to use his ID and password in order to update those apps.
    What I am saying is that you should have erased the iPad before he started using it with his own ID. If he wants to use apps that you purchased because he doesn't want to have to pay for them again, then he will just have to juggle the two ID's.
    Know that if he switches to your ID in order to download a past purchase, he will lock himself out of his own ID for 90 days. You should take a look at this.

    Perhaps you should clarify who bought the apps and describe exactly what you are trying to do.

  • HT4436 somehow an additonal icloud account was set up on my iphone and it has become the adminastative account how can i change this

    somehow an additonal icloud account has been set up on my iphone  the problem is it ahs become the adminatrative account so i cant just delaet it  how do i change the main account?

    Are you confirming your POP account is selected as the sending email account before the message is sent?
    And regardless if the email is a new email or is replying to or forwarding an email received by the POP account and cofirming the POP acconut is selected as the sending email account, the message is sent by the Gmail account?
    All message sent by the POP account are sent by the Gmail account?
    If so, delete the Gmail account from your iPad and test if a message sent with your POP account which will be the only email account available with the iPad's Mail app is recieved from your POP account/address.
    If not, something else is wrong or on play that has nothing to do with the iPad.

  • I created a new apple ID for my iPhone, but when i go to activate iCloud (for the first time) it says i need to sign up with my old ID. How do I use my new one?

    So I used to share an apple ID with my mom who also has an iphone, but i decided to make my own so that i could set up icloud with my mac. I created my own ID and activated it and all of that, but when i go to activate my iCloud, it tells me to check the email adress of the old ID. How do i activate it with my new ID?

    Providing your Apple ID is not a .me or a .Mac address, you can change it with Apple and continue to use your account.
    Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    Once who have done this you can then correct it on your mobile device.
    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.
    If however, your Apple ID was a .me or a .Mac address, then you will need to create a new account, follow the instructions above for deleting your account on your mobile device and then tap the "create Apple ID" button to create a new account.
