Cant change icloud account id

i changed my email address and changed my apple id without a problem but my icloud account will not
allow me to change the id from the old email to the new one

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 the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need 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.

    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")
    Yes you can continue to use the former ID for the iTunes Store.
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need to delete the account and add it back using the other account info. If you delete the account, the information in iCloud will be removed from your device but not from iCloud.

  • How often can i change icloud account association/other ?s

    How often can i change icloud account association on a ios device.  If the ios device has a shared photo folder photo on it, will that setting still apply to the updated icloud account.by default.  How long will the shared photos from the original icloud account stay available to the other devices?  When a shared photo folder is disabled from the ios device, does it immediately remove acces via icloud?  if photo stream is activated on one ios device, does it activate on the other devices using that icoud account.  Thanks for your help

    You change it the same way you change the information for any Apple ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5621.  (An iCloud ID is also an Apple ID.)
    After changing the ID, read this to know what to do next: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796.

    Log into icloud.com and then click on the Contacts icon.  If the list is empty, then it's gone.

    Hi brattlee,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has steps to take after you change your Apple ID:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

  • Change iCloud account/email address

    Hello,
    I recently got rid of my old email account that was synced to my iPhone (deleted it from my iphone email accounts) and got a new email, and added it to my email accounts on my iPhone, which is now my primary email account.  However, my iCloud account and my apple ID user name are still the old email account.  In other words, when I go to Settings/iCloud on my phone, under iCloud Account is has my old email address.  I want to change this.  I like continuity and I want my account to reflect the fact that I have a different email account.  I also want my iCloud syncs to apply to my new email account, but I don't want to destroy my iTunes or anything.  My iCalendar DOES sync to my new email calander (outlook).  What should I do?  Thanks!

    You cant on your iPhone, but on other machines you can.

  • How do I change icloud  account on pc

    I installed Icloud on a work PC using my personal icloud apple ID. Now I want to change the account to a new apple ID that I created specifically for my work phone and PC. Having trouble as every time I un-install from the pc and attempt to reinstall it brings up my personal apple ID. Help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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)
