Apple ID email not changing on IOS

I changed my email address for apple ID.  The only place not recognizing the changes is my iCloud. I'm trying to buy more storage, and my iPhone keeps bringing up old email address, preventing me from upgrading. Please help!

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 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 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.

  • So, my ipod touch is running 5.1.1 and is slow and sometimes unresponsive. According to Apple it will not update to iOS 6. It is a 32GB, 3rd Generation. I want the new features but it's making me mad. I do not want to jailbreak. HELP?!

    So, my IPod touch is running 5.1.1 and is slow and sometimes unresponsive. According to Apple it will not update to iOS 6. It is a 32GB, 3rd Generation. I want the new features but it's making me mad. I do not want to jailbreak. As this would void my device from Apple. I love the features iOS 6 has to offer but I don't want to put out anymore money. IPods are expensive enough, Should I use blobs? Or would that make my device worse. Plus I do not want to pay $20.00 for a chat and have to wait all day to someone who I can't understand on the telephone. someone help me please.

    For the slowness:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • HT5622 i have changed apple id will not change on itunes

    changed apple id will not change on itunes

    It is one or the other - an entirely new Apple ID or a change to the existing.
    If an entirely new Apple ID, all apps include DRM protection that is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps. You will need to use the former Apple ID and password to update apps that were downloaded with that Apple ID if an entirely new Apple ID was created.

  • Changing Apple ID does not change in all Apps

    I recently (within the last year) changed my ISP and switched my email account.  The old email was registered to my Apple ID and when I switched, I also changed the email to be my new Apple ID using "manage my apple id" online.  This means that the Apple ID should be the same account, just a different name.  There seemed to be no problems with this change on my iPhone and iTunes, but on my Macbook several applications are still looking for my old email for the Apple ID.  These include iCloud and Messages.
    I changed the Apple ID on my user in Users & Groups in System Preferences using the Change... option.  I only have one user on the system and it is the Admin account.  I can't find a way to change this in iCloud however.  Messages isn't much of a problem, but more of an inconvenience.  Every time I log in to my user account, the Messages dialog pops up asking me to sign in with the password to my Apple ID and displays the old one.  I just cancel out of this.  In the Messages application however, I have removed the old account and added the new one and I am able to send and receive messages using it.
    Why are these apps still asking me for my old Apple ID when my Admin Apple ID is my new one?

    Hi,
    iCloud and the iMessages servers are effectively independent of the others.
    You can in fact use different IDs for iTunes, iCloud and iMessages.
    Start with System Preferences > iCloud.
    There is no setting in here for enabling Messages (i.e. it has no links with any form account there).
    Use the Sign Out button to disable the current Apple ID and then add the new one.
    Do the same in Messages > Preferences > Accounts for the iMessages account.
    As you have Mountain Lion use the Details Button then the Sign Out one in the next pane.
    I have two of my several Apple IDs listed in th Users and Groups pane but it also is deactivated as regard to changing password resets.
    You can alos use an Apple issued email ID as A Valid AIM screen name in Messages (Add under AIM/AOL depending on version)
    This means @mac.com and iCloud issued @me.com and @icloud.com can be used as AIM Screen Names.
    This may mean you can have it as the iMessages ID and as a Screen name.

    Is this an iTunes to server conn problem or would this be a problem with the software to iTunes programming?

  • Apple id does not change

    dear community,
    I am unable to change my AppleId. If I type in in the prompt and would save it it does not change it. The new ID is not in use everytime.
    Thanks for your support

    I mean the input row to refer the new mail adress (see picture).
    If I would confirm this mail nothing happens.
    My current Apple Id is the @icloud.com mail.
    Thanks for your help

  • New apple ID email not updating on laptop

    Hi,
    I changed my apple ID email on apple.com but my computer isn't recognizing the new email. When I go into the settings and hit "update apple ID email" it asks for my old email's password which doesn't work because it doesn't exist anymore. How can I fix this? I am unable to update anything on my computer because of this problem.
    Thanks!

  • Email not updating after IOS 8.1.2

    Email not updating after installation of IOS 8.1.2.  On ipad, ipad2, and iphone. How to roll it back to the prior version?

    HHaving the same issue here,im don't think you can roll back.
    did it start after crashing while trying to send an email with multiple attachments?

  • ICloud .me email not pushing to iOS 5 devices

    First off, if this is a repeat post please direct me to the existing conversation.  As I could not find one I wanted to know if anyone is having an issue with iCloud email being pushed to iOS 5 devices?  It seems like the push feature only works when the email app is running in the background and even then it runs very slow.  Does anyone know if this is a glitch within iOS5, a server issue, settings issue, etc? 
    I have already tried deleting the account and re-adding it and various other "fixes" but to no avail.  I remember the horrendous rollout of MobileMe and I have a feeling that this is simply more of the same. 

    This is happening to me too. With my iPad with iOS 4, as soon as I received an email, even if the email app was not open I would get a badge on the app icon showing that I had a new email. With iCloud and iOS 5, push does not seem to be working properly. For example, at night I will receive several emails to my iCloud account. When I look at my iPad in the morning, the Mail icon will not show any new messages. I will actually have to open the mail app, at which point mail will check for mail and then finally show my messages in the inbox (and on the icon badge). This is even though I have push turned on. Definitely seems like bugginess in either iOS 5 or the iCloud servers...

  • Bitten by the Apple once again--Push email not working on iOS

    I can't believe they screwed up again just like MobileMess. This is what I get for trusting there was NO way they'd make the same mistake and, again, being an early adopter.
    Anyone RELIABLY getting push email from iClod (not misspelled by accident) on iPhone 4 running iOS 5?  If so, has it always worked and, if not, what was your fix?

    Doesn't work for me, and it's really getting on my nerves!
    I use Hotmail, and my husband used Yahoo.de.  Neither of us can receive via PUSH emails and have to open the mail app to check if anything important is there.  Doesn't sound like PUSH to me, obviously it does to Apple.
    WHY OH WHY was none of this picked up during BETA testing????!!!!!!!
    If we turn off iCloud, then I believe it may work, but then you are unable to use FINDMYIPHONE, so we have to decide what's more important?  I find it outrageous!
    I've tried deleteing all my email accounts, but that did NOTHING.  I've toggled push on and off; left the phone off for over half and hour and rebooted.  No improvement. 
    VERY POOR service from Apple.
