Change apple id for user in Yosemite / adapt according to family sharing

Hi,
I just upgraded to Yosemite (and IOS 8 on the families iPads and iPhones).
Before I had one apple ID used by every user / device. Now I changed to family sharing and have separate apple IDs for every family member. Now I would like to use the same IDs for the corresponding users on the Mac. But I cannot find the place to specify this! On Mountain Lion this should have been set in the settings of the users - but there is no such option now on Yosemite.
Any idea is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Thomas

When you add users, it asks you his iCloud id. I suggest you delete then recreate each user

HT5787 Change apple id for all purchased apps...

I want to change apple id in my iphone as my old apple ID's password is not working. Please help me. I want to change apple ID for all new and old purchases.

Have you tried logging out an back into that account on your phone (tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store), and/or tried getting the password reset for it : http://iforgot.apple.com (if you do get the password reset then you might need to logout and back into it) ?
If you create a new account then that will work for new purchases, but all of your existing downloads will remain tied to your old account, so only your old account will be able to redownload those purchases and/or download updates to its apps.

How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.

Settings-icloud-scroll to the bottom, select delete, if you want to keep the content select keep, otherwise it'll remove it. Then once it is done add the account information for the account you want on that phone. Your apple ID in settings-store will remain the same and each device can still purchase/use content from that account.

How do I change Apple ID for iCloud account?

I changed Apple ID online because my email address changed. How can I change Apple ID for iCloud?

If you renamed your iCloud ID and need to change it on your device, 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.

how to change apple id for icloud?

From the knowledgeable Roger Wilmut:
You can't change the primary email address, the one you created when you opened an iCloud account (or if you migrated from MobileMe the address you log in with) other than by opening a completely new account.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
However you can create three 'email aliases' - these are extra addresses, not accounts, which deliver into the same inbox as the main address.

It's actually quite a good idea to give out an alias address rather than the main one, since these can be easily changed should you get spammed.

How to change apple id for app updates

The user id that displays on my ipod is correct on the settings menu but when I try to update my apps, the apple id that displays (and wants a password) is one that I no longer use. How can I change the apple id for this one function to my current correct one? I've tried poking around all the settings and can't find where to change it. Once it is changed, I can then use my regular password. Thanks!

Hi jabsykes,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you may have downloaded or purchased applications from two different Apple IDs. To update those applications, you will need to sign in to the Apple ID that downloaded the applications initially. Please use the attached article for instructions on how to sign out and sing in to different Apple IDs on your iOS device.
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

Impossible to change Apple id for iCloud

Hello,
I have an Apple Id for iTunes on my MB and unfortunatlely I gave another email adress (this means another apple id was created) for iCloud.
So I have 2 Apple Id, and of course I forgot the pwd of the second one (for iCloud) and it's just impossible to change it because for some unknowable reasons :
1- the email confirmation to verify this mail address never arrives on my mbox !!!
2- the asnwer to the private question is wrong !!! Awesome, i think i know my birthday but it seems like iCloud stored a wrong information !!
So I just can't change neither the pwd of this second Apple Id neither the Id itself to come back to a simplier configuration : only one apple id ...
Consequences are awesome :
1- By default, appstore on the iPhone use the iCloud Apple ID --> I can't download anymore apps because i don't have the pwd
2- It's impossible to change iCloud id on the iPhone to put the first one used for iTunes on my MB
The most strangest thing is that on the website https://www.icloud.com/ , I can log on with the iTunes apple Id ....
I called the hotline, they can't answer me and of course, there's no contact mail on iCloud website ....
Please help ...
Thank you

Change Apple ID for iCloud

Some time ago I Inherited my wife's previous iPad along with her Apple ID for ICloud. I have now purchased a new iPad air 2 and transferred the old iPad info however her iCloud email address (gmail) came along with the transfer. I have my own Apple ID set up for ITunes and would like to change the old ID to match so I'll have the same one for both my iCloud and ITunes accounts. Can I please get some guidance on how to do this? She still uses her Apple ID on her devices so I'd only like to make this change on my iPad (and Iphone). Thanks a lot.

Hi Friend,
Delete the account (in Settings>iCloud), then set up a new account using her ID. If you need to migrate any iCloud data to the new account, be sure to choose "Keep on My iDevice" when prompted about what to do with the iCloud data; then when setting up the new account, to merge the data with the new account be sure to choose Merge.
Hope it helps

HT204074 changing apple id for icloud backup

Hi!
I just changed my email address (and thus my Apple ID). I was able to change the Apple ID for my email on my iPhone, but for some reason I cannot change the Apple ID on my device for iCloud. Please help!
Thanks!

You have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go 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 iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.

Changing Apple ID for iCloud

I changed my email for my Apple ID but icould will not recognize it so I am constantly getting a pop up to enter my password for my old apple id. How do I change my email for icloud so i stop receiving these pop ups?

All depends on the form of your iCloud ID...if you used an @me.com or @mac.com email/ID then it cannot be changed...iCloud IDs in that form are unchangable.
