You have to change your Apple ID back to the old one (https://appleid.apple.com), sign out of iCloud on the phone, change it back from your computer, then log in to iCloud with the new one. See: Change your Apple ID

  • How to change iCloud Apple ID in iPhone

    Hi,
    I have restored a previous iPhone (4) backup onto a newly purchased iPhone 5c to keep settings/content. The previous iPhone had iCloud enabled. I recently changed my Apple ID due to change of employer - I do not have access to that old email address any longer. How do I change the iCloud Apple ID on the iPhone so that I can enter my new Apple ID into the "iCloud" settings on the iPhone?
    I've seen many threads that describe the same problem (e.g. https://discussions.apple.com/message/23106464#23106464?ac_cid=tw123456%23231064 64) but none of the proposed solutions have worked for me.
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,

    Resolved by a hint i found in yet another thread:

    If you don't have access to your old email account, on a web browser, go to the Apple ID website, https://appleid.apple.com and sign in your current iCloud/Apple ID then edit it to your old email address then Save the changes (NO NEED to verify the email address becuase it's impossible).  DO NOT sign out yet.  Go back to your iOS device with that old email address then delete your iCloud account.  Once deleted, go back to the Apple ID website and rename it back to your current email address.  You just have to verify and you're good to go.  No need to touch the other 2 iOS devices with the correct Apple ID.
    Thanks!

  • Can't change my apple id on iPhone because i don't have the password to my old apple id - any suggestions

    I can't change my Apple ID on my iPhone because I don't have the password for my old Apple ID which the system requires.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Perhaps if you visited the "Manage My Apple ID" site you could recover the password to the old Apple ID.

  • Can't change iCloud payment info on iPhone 4S

    My credit card number changed, and I can't update it on my iPhone.  (This is to pay for additional iClound storage space) 
    I can get to the screen where you update your payment info, and I am able to update it on that screen, but when I click the "done" button - nothing happens.  

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7?

    How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7? When I updated to iOS7 it kept my old ID on some features and my new one on others. I was able to change my Apple ID on all apps except iCloud. I don't have the original email account I used when setting up my iPhone with the old Apple ID and I have no clue what the password was. It appears I first need to turn off "Find my iPhone" which requires the old Apple ID, then I can delete the iCloud account. I want to use my current Apple ID to be able to use the "Find my iPhone" feature in iOS7. I hope someone can help!!

    That doesn't help. It's an old email that doesn't work anymore. Please read the entire post. iOS7 won't let you delete iCloud unless you have the password for the old/inactive email/Apple ID.
    You never mentioned that you didn't have access to that email.  There are some specific steps you can perform to retrieve the old Apple ID password.

  • How can I change my apple iD in my iCloud account info on my iPhone 4

    How can I change my Apple ID in my iCloud account for my iPhone 4?  I have updated to my new Apple ID on iCloud and iTunes, but my phone still shows my old apple id, thus it's not letting me restore previously backed up info.

    Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  Then log in using a different ID.

  • How can I change the Apple Id in the icloud settings on my iphone 4?

    How can I change the Apple Id in the icloud settings on my iphone 4?

    The only way is to remove the account, then add it back in, using the AppleID you want to use.  If this is a wholly different AppleID, then you will create a new iCloud account.  If you just changed the email address at the appleid web management page, then it will be the same iCloud account.

  • My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones.  she now has an ipad with a her own apple id.  How can we change the apple id on her phoneand not loose any contacts or songs?

    My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones (2 phones both are 5s) .  She now has an ipad with a her own apple id.  How can we change the apple id on her phone so that is the same as the ipad and not loose any contacts or songs?

    Did you take a look at the new feature Apple - iOS 8 - Family Sharing ?
    Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
    Up to now, songs bought from iTunes could only be played by the Apple ID that has been used to buy them.
    If you set up Family Sharing, your daughter can also play your songs and use the same contact info as before.
    If you don't want to do that, sync the contact info to the address book on your computer, and sync the info back, using iTunes:
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
    If the iPad already has her Apple ID and contact info on it, restore the phone from the latest iPad backup.

  • How can I change the apple ID on my iPhone so it is not connected to my iPad?

    How can I change the apple ID on my iPhone so it is not connected to my iPad anymore? My ex has my iPad and he is still getting my imessages even after I have deleted my iCloud account and taken my apple ID off of my messages on the iPhone? Someone please help!

  • HT5621 How can I change my apple id on icloud?

    How can I change my apple id on icloud, I have done it online, but when I try to get into it on my iphone it still comes up with my old apple id, and I cannot change it as it keeps asking for my password which the old id will not accept?

    You have to delete the account: Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Try changing your ID, online, back to your old ID, then delete the iCloud account on your phone. Once done, change your ID back to the new one you want to use.

  • How can I change my apple ID on icloud?

    How can I change my apple ID on icloud?

    So the question is, what device are you changing it on?  Before doing anything, backup all devices, save all photos somewhere on a hard drive and export your contacts and calendar just in case.  I am a real beginner here, but I have been dealing with this issue for two weeks so I think I am getting a handle on it.  Hopefully someone can give even better advice.
    iCloud.com is a slave to whatever account you have setup on your IOS device, so it doesn't care what you sign in as.  There is nothing to "change" there, just sign in as whatever Apple ID you have setup on your devices.
    I would start on the Macbook.  Go under preferences, iCloud, and then sign out of your iCloud account.  Sign back in, but enter the new Apple ID that you want to use.  This will delete the old account, but give you the option of keeping everything you have in iCloud on your computer.  Turn everything on that you want to sync, and you will be back up with iCloud connected to a new AppleID.  iCloud.com will now mirror your MacBook.
    On the iPhone, go under Settings, and then iCloud, and delete the existing account.  You will loose whatever is in the Cloud from your phone, but they should already be back in the cloud from your MacBook fromthe above step, so no worried.  Setup a new iCloud account with the Apple ID you used above, and enable the things you want to sync. Everything should be back now and you have the new AppleID associated with your iCloud. 
    The iPad is the same as the iPhone, delete the old and establish a new iCloud account with the AppleID you used above.  You will loose anything that is in the cloud from the iPad but it should repopulate once the new Apple ID is established.  

  • 2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

    2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

    You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
    You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.
