Apple ID for iCloud login

Recently I had to change my Apple ID because my e-mail address changed.  When I now try to log on to iCloud, the logon screen defaults to my old disabled Apple ID and won't let me change the Apple ID and only prompts for my password.  How can I reset the Apple ID for iCloud?

Is there a 'Cancel' button? If so click it, then go to Settings>iCloud and click 'Sign Out'. If you can do this you will be able to enter the new ID.
If you can't do this you will need to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.

  • I created a new Apple ID for iCloud on my iPhone, but I can't seem to find a way to "sign out" or "log out" of that Apple ID (for iCloud) to sign in with another Apple ID. The only account login I could change was the Store. How do I "log out"

    I created a new Apple ID for iCloud on my iPhone, but I can't seem to find a way to "sign out" or "log out" of that Apple ID (for iCloud) to sign in with another Apple ID. The only account login I could change was the Store.
    How do I "log out" or "sign out" of iCloud on my iPhone? There is an option to delete the account, but I just want to log off. I want to keep the account name for future use.

    It looks like the article below has the information you are looking for.
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Turn off iCloud completely
    Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    Note:   If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help). 
    On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
    If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud. For more information, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Calendar & reminder data removed from Calendar and Reminders or iCal when disabling iCloud Calendar.
    On your Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then click Sign Out.
    Note:   If you turned on automatic download of music, app, or book purchases (in iTunes preferences or in Settings on your iOS device), your iTunes purchases are still downloaded to your devices.

  • HT204053 What are the pros and cons of 1) choosing to use the SAME Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or 2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides

    All is in the title, so I repeat it below with a better identation.
    What are the pros and cons of
    1) choosing to use the SAME
                                                  Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and
                                                  purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or
    2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides"?
    P.S.
    I have loads and loads of free podcasts in iTunes in my iMac, that are certainly more thant the 5 gigas the iCloud provides for free, so I don't want those to go to the cloud. But this is perhaps a different question...
    Also need to mention that I have itunes on a mac, a pc and an iphone.
    Sorry to look so silly with this question, but I don't get the "big picture".

    You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

  • How do you change your Apple ID for icloud?

    I have had one email address as my Apple ID for App store, itunes and icloud for all my devices (MacBook pro, iMac, iPhone4 and iPad2).  Recently I changed nettwork/internett operators and now I have big problems with my icloud.  My old email address and password has been shut down, and I had to create a new adress and password.  I successfully change my Apple ID and password for itunes and App store, but I can't change my Apple ID for icloud.  I am told that if I want to close down my icloud account on my MacBook Pro data will be lost.  (I have stored my documents on icloud too)  I keep getting a popup on my screen saying there is a problem with my Apple ID (the old email address) and that I should fill in my password.  If I fill in the password for this icloud ID (also my old Apple ID for  App store and itunes, I keep getting the message that it is invalid.   How do I get into icloud to manage and edit the Apple ID for icloud so that it works on my mac and all the other devices I have?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't change your ID if it's a me/mac address, otherwise;
    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 > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

  • Hello, I can not log into my Game Center, I somehow did not use my apple ID for the login, I know my username, its mojo100211, Is there anyway I can find my email?

    Hello, I can not log into my Game Center, I somehow did not use my apple ID for the login, I know my username, its mojo100211, Is there anyway I can find my email?

    Where are you trying to log in? You should be able to change your ID at http://appleid.apple.com - can you log in there?
    Before you change your ID you should log out of the iTunes Store and on any devices which are logged into iCloud. Then once you've changed it you can log back in with the new ID. (Your iCloud synced data will disappear from the device when you do this but will reappear when you sign back in - give it time).
    If you are unable to sign into http://appleid.apple.com you will need to contact Support. Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com .

    I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air  I can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. It keeps going back to my old apple id and doesn't afford me to alter it.

    You need to use the sign out option on the left side.

  • How do I change my Apple ID for iCloud without losing my data?

    I really seem to have made a mess of my transition to iCloud :-(  I have had an Apple ID for many years - it's my @gmail.com email address.  I also have an @mac.com email address and, because I was a subscriber to MobileMe I have an @me.com email address, too.
    I only recently upgraded my MacBook to OS X 10.7.4 after buying an iPad and deciding that I would like to be able to sync information between my MacBook, iPhone (3GS) and iPad.
    I believe my problems started when I bought the iPad about a month ago on a trip to New York.  I didn't have my MacBook with me to check which Apple ID I should use.  I set up my iPad with my @gmail.com address as my Apple ID.  When I returned home I discovered that my iCloud ID on my MacBook is my @mac.com email address.
    I thought I could simply change the Apple ID on my iPad but I've not found any way that I can do that.
    The problems I'm experiencing relate mainly to Calendars - I now have multiple entries for events on all my devices.  I also have multiple entries for people in my Address Book and Contacts.
    What I would like to do is -
    1) retain my @gmail.com address as my Apple ID for the iTunes Store and purchases - this is the one I've always used and I have lots of purchases associated with it.
    2) change my Apple ID for iCloud from my @gmail.com address to my @mac.com address so that I can also sync my Mail and, hopefully, eliminate the occurrence of multiple calender entries
    If I were to delete my current @gmail.com address Apple ID on my iPad will I lose the data associated with this ID?
    Cheers

    Thank you for responding to my question so promptly!  My Apple ID for my iCloud account on my MacBook is the correct (i.e. my @mac.com) email address.  Do I need to sign out and then sign back in after I have changed/updated my details on my iPad?
    When I look at the 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars' details on my iPad under the heading 'Accounts' it first shows my @me.com account and the items under that account are 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Find My iPad' - when I expand the account details it shows that my iCloud Account is actually my @mac.com email adddress.
    The second entry is iCloud which is currently my @gmail.com account.  Under this account are 'Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Reminders, PhotoStream, Documents & Data, Backup.
    The third account is headed Gmail and is, indeed, my @gmail.com account, too.  Under this account it shows 'Mail, Calendars, Notes'.
    Am I correct in suspecting that the reason for my having multiple occurrences of both events in Calendars and people in Contacts is because more than one account is syncing Contacts and Calendars?
    Thank you for your help
    Cheers

  • I use the company's iPad at work that has a different apple id for iCloud than my own personal iPad  at home. How can I change the company's iCloud id to synchronize with my own one?

    I use an iPad 2 at work that has a different apple id for iCloud than my own personal new iPad. How can I change the company's id for iCloud to synchronize with my own personal iPad?

    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID listed and sign out and sign in with other ID
    You also may want to go to other places like:
    - Settings>iCloud
    - Settinge>FaceTime
    - Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and change the ID
    It may be best to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings and start over again and set up the iPod again with his account/ID

  • Can I have 1 Apple ID for apps and 1 Apple ID for iCloud

    I would like to have 1 Apple ID for purchasing apps and 1 Apple ID for iCloud. Is that possible? If I need to use the iCloud ID for apps, will it get rid of my old apps?

    Yes you can.  Changing your ID won't get rid of any of your previous purchases.  You just won't be able to redownload them from iCloud.  (They are permanently tied to the ID you used to purchase them and you can't switch IDs and redownload under the new ID for 90 days - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627).  So be sure to transfer them to your iTunes library by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  That way you can sync them back at any time without worrying about having to redownload them.

  • Transfer old Apple ID purchase info to New Apple ID for iCloud purposes

    Transfer old Apple ID purchase info to New Apple ID for iCloud purposes
    I currently have an apple ID that i have used for many years of ABC.  This will hold all the apps and songs etc that i have purchased over the years.  So i can currently download apps from app store using the new "purchased option" from the "Cloud".
    I have just set up and wish to make a new account my main account for iCloud and all purchases.  This is XYZ . How do i get all the purchase history and account actions from ABC apple id, to map across to the new XYZ apple id.
    My objective is to log into my iphone on itunes, app store and icloud using the new XYZ apple id, but still be able to view and download any and all previous purchases held against the ABC apple id.
    Can I/Apple port this account over so all history of purchases on ABC apple id, is now held against the new XYZ apple id.
    Thanks

    RE all those that say it cannot be done or why do i want to or need to...
    When my phone (on iOS 5) had the old/main apple ID logged in and used, the iCloud page where you can enable iCloud for apps, mail, notes etc - it would not allow me to turn on mail or notes for iCloud.  Said i needed to create an iCloud/Mobileme address to use these features.
    When i created new mobile/iCloud account today it worked fine for all iCloud options on my iPhone.  Also, the emailed address for mobileme/icloud was more to my needs/liking.
    The new mobileme/icloud ID created today cannot have my main email address added to it as it says my current/main apple id is that email address.
    Any suggestions?

    Sir, your Apple ID can be used as an iCloud account as well. They are both the same thing.
