Change E-mail for iCloud account on devices?

I have changed my E-mail account in iCloud via my iMac computer. The reason is that my old E-mail that I used will dissapear soon. I cannot figure out how to change it on my iPhone 5, Macbook Air and iPad?. It is filled in as a default under iCloud and I cannot changed it? Please help.

To change the ID on your iOS devices, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the changed ID. This will delete the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your data will reappear when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to the camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).
To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your changed ID.

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.

Syncronization: How can i store mail for different accounts remotely, and copy most important mails manually to local folders on two devices?

Hello. I have two devices and two accounts, so what i want is this:
I only want to store mail from both accounts in a remote place and copy most important mails to local folders.
(I will be grateful for any ideas as to where/how this "cloud" can be - specially free places)
* Can I have a copy of these local folders in both devices and the remote storage?
* Could i synchronize devices so that: when i move a mail to a local folder in any device, its copied to the same folders in
the other device and the remote storage place?
* The remote storage place will have many other folders. When I open Thunderbird, I also want to see these and the mail
inside, and also be able to move mail from the inbox to these folders.
* One of the accounts is gmail. In Account Setting tool, there is an option for synchronization. If there is no easier way, I can have mail for other account copied to gmail, and just syncronize gmail mail. For this, how will I copy my present folder structure to gmail. And how can I syncronize the local folders on the two devices?
Thanks in advance.

The first awkwardness I see is that there's no obvious format in which to store messages remotely such that you can work with them in an email client. It may be possible to set the "Local Directory" option in the account in Thunderbird to point at some remote folder (DropBox comes to mind) but I have never tried this and I'd be nervous about what happens if connection can't be made, or if you happened to access it from two different places simultaneously. The other concern is that mail stores get big, quickly, and you'd be forever uploading and downloading large (multi gigabyte) files. Thunderbird stores what looks like a folder containing many separate messages as one big file, so there's no simple opportunity for incremental changes to be up/down loaded.
The whole idea of Local Folders in Thunderbird is to detach messages from servers, so they don't track what happens on servers. I say this to point out the distinction between files stored locally and permanently ("Local Folders"), versus cached copies of online files ("synchronized"). It's not safe to regard your synchronized folders as permanent.
So, synchronized folders on an IMAP server are "mirrored" in Thunderbird so you do have a local (albeit temporary and transient) copy of messages; this is done mainly to avoid repeatedly downloading messages if you re-read them, and it makes searching faster an more efficient. But these "synchronized" message track what's being done on the server, and so if they are deleted anywhere, all synchronized devices will at some point also see the deleted messages vanishing. (Unless you made a local copy in the Local Folders account.)
I use a gmail account pretty much as you have described; I copy or move messages to that account so they are visible in my phone, my tablet, my own laptop and my works computer. It's free, and it's "in the cloud"; the only reservation I have is its privacy. There are other providers (e.g. 1&1/gmx) who don't seem to have the data collection fetish that google thrives on.
It's fairly simple to create filters in Thunderbird to automatically copy messages to your "cloud account"; even better is to set up forwarding rules on the other accounts' servers, so your messages are automatically sent on and waiting for you when you next login, already in the cloud account.

HT204053 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.

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.

TS3276 I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails to people in my address book. Hotmail advised me to change my password for that account, which I did. Why won't mail recognise the new password?

I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails from my address book. Hotmail advised me to delete all contacts and change the password for that account, which I did on my laptop running windows XP. The change was successful and I was able to send and receive emails with no problem. I then had to change the account password on my iPhone 4s, which I did and it too was successful but when I came to change the password on my iMac, running the latest version of Lion it would not recognise the new password. I have tried to remove the account details and re-install but every time I go to add new account my old details are in the box. This is very frustrating as I use my iMac for all my profects and I need to access my email. Please help.

hi guys,
I had already deleted all reference to the hotmail account in question from the keychain access app, I have also tried to delete and re-instal the account details from within mail. The icon in the side bar dissapears but when I go to Add Account, the old account details are in the new account box. I then input my new password but am told that the server does not recognise it. If I access hotmail via google on the iMac I can get into my account with no problems. I am thinking there must be some other form of security system within the mac software that is blocking the new password. This is driving me nuts. I have been trying to resolve this for the last two days. Thank you for your advise anyway.

There is a new security feature in iOS 7 called Activation Lock. You need the
AppleID and passcode used to activate the iPad or it will be useless to you.
There is no workaround.
Suggest you try very hard to remember that AppleID and passcode. Did you try the
AppleId you used to log into this forum?

MacBook Airs won't run Classic, nor will Classic connect to iCloud accounts. You will need your Mac OS X version to answer the question involved. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac, and post in the appropriate forum in the link below:

How can I change game centre and iCloud account information from previous owner of my iPad?

How can I change game centre and iCloud account information from previous owner to me?

You can't do it on your own. The previous owner has to erase the device for you. You would need his Apple ID and password in order to delete his iCloud account. This is due to the Activation Lock in iOS 7 - assuming that your iPad is running iOS 7.
Contact the owner and ask home to erase it remotely using iCloud, or return the device and ask for your money back. If you can't contact the pervious owner, you will have a useless iPad on your hands.
Read this for more information. This is what you need the previous owner to do.

How i can change the ID for icloud?

I lost my pass for iCLOUD account, did a new ID with a different mail but i can't change because need it the last password ID.

Hi aordonez85,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on your exact situation. If you are saying that after losing the password for your Apple ID/iCloud account, you created an entirely new account (instead of resetting the password on the previous account), and are now having issues changing the iCloud settings on your iPhone, you may find one of the following articles helpful (depending on if you intend to use a single Apple ID, or different Apple IDs for iCloud and Store purchases):

How to change apple id for icloud?

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.
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
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.

Hi Joycars,
Can you not simply sign out of the iCloud account with the incorrect email? Not sure I'm following?

TS3992 I have changed my Apple ID. How do I change it on my icloud account. It just keeps defaulting to the old Apple ID #.

I have changed my Apple Id, how do I change it on my icloud account? It just defaults to the old id.

Did you change the email address of your existing Apple ID, or did you create a totally new Apple ID? Assuming that you did it correctly and just changed the email address on your Apple ID, go to Settings/iCloud and turn off Find my iPhone. You will need the passcode for the OLD email address to do this. Then log out of iCloud on the phone. Log in with the changed address. Do the same for Settings/messages, Settings/Facetime and Settings/iTunes&App Store.

HT4759 (Macbook pro) in Mail my icloud account the smtp's server is offline & incoming gray? the out going Mail Server (smtp) says icloud (offline) . how can it go online?

In Mail, my icloud account the smtp's server is offline & the incoming server is gray? How can I reverse this ?
did try going on server SMTP in the edit section, both on " accout info" and "advance". no change. thanks

Okay, fixed it on mine. In Mail.app:
1) Mail menu | Preferences.
2) Select problematic account in list on left.
3) Select "Edit SMTP Server List..." from Outgoing Mail Server drop-down.
4) Fix username by appending domain name
(append "@gmail.com" if standard account, or your own domain if apps user).
5) Re-enter password.
Save your preferences.
