Can't use New iCloud account -

I moved and changed my email address so I changed my apple ID online, but it won't change on my iPhone, it still has my old email address,and I don't know the password to the old email…I have a new iCloud account but i can't use it.
I can't change it on my computer and cant change on my phone...sorry I don't know how to explain this any better...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. 
When you do this you may find that your password is not accepted.  If this happens, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you have to temporarily recreate your 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.  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.

  • Can i use multiple icloud accounts in my find my iphone app?

    Can i use multiple icloud accounts in my find my iphone app? I have multiple accounts that i want to tie to that app.

    You can't buy another one.  You have to reuse one of the accounts previously set up on your phone, or create a new one to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or higher), if you have one.

  • How can I use multiple icloud Accounts with Fotos?

    Hello.
    Yesterday, my wife and I started using the new App "Fotos" on OSX and iOS.
    What I can't figure out, and where I would like to get some insight and help, is how we should use our icloud Accounts.
    How it is right now:
    - Wife (MacBook and iPhone)
    Has her own icloud-Account ([email protected]) for Backup (iOS) and Fotosync, Keychainsync, Bookmarks. 20GB iCloud-Account (18GB free).
    - Husband (MacBook, Mac Mini and iPhone and iPad)
    Has his own icloud-Account ([email protected]) for Backup (iOS) and Fotosync, Keychainsync, Bookmarks. 20GB iCloud Account (10 GB free).
    - Husband has about 400 GB of Photos from over 10 Years on Mac Mini
    How I want it to be:
    - Husband
    upgrades to at least the 500GB Account, to use for all 400GB of Photos and Backup, Keychainsync, Bookmarks.
    - Wife
    Has her own Account ([email protected]) for Keychain and Bookmark, but uses [email protected] on MacBook and iPhone for Backup an Fotosync, so that all Photos are stored in a single one family "container". All Photos in one Place without being able to forget to put them there.
    I don't see, how I can accomplish that, since only one "real" icloud account seems to be possible in iOS, so that if i put my account in her iPhone I would get the Photo and Backup I want, but she would not be able to sync her own bookmarks an keychain any more.
    Any thought on how to resolve this?
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks for your ideas,
    thomas

    Yes, you could have multiple iCloud accounts for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Safari, Notes, and Find My iPhone, but only one primary iCloud account for Photo Stream, Documents & Data, and Storage & Backup.

  • HT204053 Can create a new icloud account on my iphone and keep all my apps and data?

    would like to create a new icloud account but keep all apps and data on my iphone from other account  has anybody done that?

    You can not transfer apps (or any other item except data) from one account to another, you will need to use the old account in order to update anything bought or downloaded from it.
    For the data just save it all back to your Mac and then migrate it to the new account.

  • Can't add new icloud account to iPhone says that I have too many accounts please help! Forgot old username and email

    I Made a new icloud account bc forgot my username and email and now I can't access bc says I have too many accounts on phone please help!

    If the messages says the maximum number of accounts have already been created, you will not be able to create a new one on that phone.  All you can do in that case is either reuse one of the accounts previously created or create your new account on a different iOS device or Mac, if you have one.

  • HT4436 Can I use one iCloud account for multiple apple ID's - ie, all of those that are part of our family sharing?

    There are five members of my family and we each have multiple devices, it seems.  I want to know if we can set up one iCloud account where we can store all of our iTunes downloads (movies, TVshows, & music) from more than one account.

    Purchases may not be transferred from one account to another.

  • Can we use two icloud accounts in the address book app in Lion?

    The answer is yes because we are doing it for months in our business. This way we can share our business address book between our 3 Mac and iphone and ipad and still have our private address books on all those devices without sharing them. It seems however that the app Address book cannot understand the situation. When I select my business card in my address book and say that it is "my business card" it appears the same on my colleagues' computer. they have then me instead of them as their business card and when they open their session on their computer I'm there! It seems that iCloud hasn't been thought for the purpose of sharing address books. Can we have a business icloud that doesn't stick to one persone? Or can we have several "me" in an icloud address book? Is there any other way to share parts of an address book without sharing it entirely? We'd like that it works like in ICal.

    Currently, we don't have a Volume license. Basically what we need to achieve is a number of macs to have the same information particularly calendars, reminders, numbers file, and contact informations from one cloud. Without my manager's own icloud conflicting with his files or the public icloud.
