Apple id email won't change

I have successfully changed the email address for my apple id and I can login using it - however my ipad still prompts me with my old id email address. How do I fix this?

Try logging out of the account on your iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6+) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it.

  • I changed my apple id email but cant change it on my phone

    I have changed my apple id email and cant change it on my phone now every time any app asks for my password is says its incorrect because the email is wrong.

    The problem is that you had "Find My iPhone" (activation lock) turned on, when you changed your Apple ID email address. In order to solve the problem. please follow this steps:
    Please change your Apple ID back to your old email address (that you used as Apple ID before) here:http://appleid.apple.com
    Then go to all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - ("Settings > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway)
    After that go back to http://appleid.apple.com sign in again, and now change your Apple ID again to your new email address.
    Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.
    Now, everything should working properly again.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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.

  • Apple TV settings won't change

    I work at a book store and we have a current generation Apple TV connected to a Sony flat screen.  We have a slide show on the Apple TV that we loop during store hours, but as of late the show is stopped after 2 minutes by a flower screen-saver.  It all started when one of my coworkers streamed her personal iTunes library through the Apple TV because she didn't want to listen to classical music.  We have tried several times to turn the screen saver off or change it to the slideshow itself, but no matter what we do the flowers re-appear after 2 minutes.  We have not yet tried to reset or restore the Apple TV.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

    Thanks for the advice.  Our manager tried to resetting and restoring it, and it worked for awhile but then locked up again.  Turns out, the co-worker who was streaming her personal music and movie collection through the store's TV was changing the store account password to prevent anyone from turing off her music.  She now no longer works with us.

  • I changed my apple ID email address and ever since my iphone 5 won't back up to icloud

    I got a new email address so i changed my Apple ID email to my new email. Ever since then my iphone won't back up to icloud. Its been about 2 months now and I'm getting nervous about losing my stuff. Is this fixable?

    Did you ever change the iCloud ID on you phone after making this change?   If not, to change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • Won't let me change Apple ID email address. Please help.

    When I try to edit my Apple ID email address, it won't let me change my Apple ID email address it says "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID." when I try to change my email adress. The thing is, I have no other apple id's that I know of...Any help?
    Jeremy

    i believe you may have to retrieve your password
    enter the email address attached to your username profile and retrieve your id through that route
    then sign in

  • Won't let me change my Apple ID email address please help

    Won't let me change my Apple ID email address please help I have signed out of iCloud and iTunes. I really need to change the email address as the 1 that is currently

    What happens when you try to change the email address ? You should be able to edit your primary email address (as long as it's not an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address) by logging into the account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or by logging into on http://appleid.apple.com

  • I want to change my Apple ID email but it won't let me.

    The original email I put as my Apple ID has been deavtivaed because I haven't used it in a while, so I want to change my Apple ID email to my current email. However, when I go online to change it, it tells me "this email address is already verified for another Apple ID". I don't recall making an Apple ID on this new email, but I'm guessing I created without realizing it. Is there any way I can delete the Apple ID on my new email and then change it? Or can I merge the two IDs?

    Ok I'm goin to call your old Apple ID #1 your new email you want to use #2 and another email #3.
    - go to http://appleid.apple.com
    - select manage your apple id
    - sign into #2
    - edit primary email and change it to #3
    - save changes and sign out
    Now
    - sign into #1
    - edit primary
    - change it to the email that was used for #2
    - save changes
    - check #2's email inbox for verification email
    - verify account
    If done correctly you should be fine, also in terms of #3 that would be an email you have that you dont mind being an apple id that you wont use. Sorry for the funny way of explaining just thought it would be shorter to type out lol.
    Note: Once changes have been made you must sign out of features such as iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, iTunes & App Store as they will still display the old Apple ID. Sign in with new email but same password as normal.

  • How do I change my old apple id email to my new one

    I lost/broke my iPhone and I needed to update my password on my apple ID, so after struggling I changed that.  I used that opportunity to also change my primary email to one I now use because I created that Apple ID years ago.  Because I didn't have my phone anymore, I had to change my ID on nearly every device I use (iPad, Mac). Now, I have a replacement iphone, however I can't get my icloud to work because it has the old Apple ID email.  It won't let me sign out of that account or even delete it.  I just want to sign into the icloud with my new email.  It won't let me sign out because I had find my iphone turned on.  How can I change the email on there, or delete that account, or anything regarding the icloud account?
    Please help, any feedback would make my life much less stressful.
    Thanks

    Do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going 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.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished goThen go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out 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 back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

    Thanks Lawrence. I've spent over 3 hours on the phone/chatting to online support and none of it seemed to help as it all revolved around resetting emails etc but can't do any of it without my access to my old email. Now my phone won't take cloud because they advised to set up new apple ID and use that, but can't sign out of old one completely. Also doesn't help because my phone and laptop are set up on the old one. Thanks for the help.
