Change registered AppleID for mac when using iCloud

I have two Apple-IDs. The first is old and outdated, so I want to use the second. According to support.apple.com my MacBook Pro is registered on my second AppleID, which is good. However, when I open iCloud at "System Preferences" on my Mac - the first AppleID appears! How is this possible when supprt.apple.com says the mac is registered on the second? Do I have to change something on the mac itself?
Appreciate the help, thank you : )

I'm guessing you're referring to supportprofile.apple.com? This has nothing to do with iCloud.
"How is this possible..."
Easy. That's the apple id you signed into the icloud preferences with.
If you want to use your other apple id for icloud, sign out of the iCloud preferences and sign in with the one you want. Keep in mind, certain information will remain with the currently used apple id... You'd have to backup and restore the data to the new apple id.
Ideally, you want to use one apple id for everything, but you can use a different one for icloud and another for apple purchases. Just don't spread purchases among multiple apple ids. If you continue to use two different apple ids, you'll want to have an active email attached to the other one outdated one.

TS3999 When using iCloud Calendar, I am unable to change the color of my work calendar. I have successfully followed the instructions to reset the colors of other calendars as desired. However, this one calendar always defaults to purple. Help!

File>New Calendar to create a new calendar (Groups are for grouping calendars and I should ignore them). When you've created the calendar, control-click on it in the sidebar and choose 'Get Info' There you can select a colour. You can have as many calendars as you like. When you create a new event you can select the calendar it belongs to, and hence the colour it has.

TS4006 when using iCloud between mac and pad, what does this mean - "your iPad will no longer back up to your computer automatically when you sync with iTunes"

DONT WORRY EVERYONE, FOUND THE ANSWER I NEEDED FROM ANOTHER POSTING - THANK YOU

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You don't need to do anything, you have chosen to back up to iCloud instead of iTunes.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

I travel for work and use iCloud - I can not use back to my mac because i use a Verizon MiFi wireless that does not have NAT-PMP or UPnP. Does anyone know of a way to get around this problem

All ISP-provided equipment is junk. You could get a decent router and connect it to the Verizon router in bridge mode. It should cost about $ 30.

How can I force mount a dvd that isn't even seen by Disk Utility? I can see it on the Mac when using my Windows 7 partition via Boot Camp, but not in Lion, which is how I would rather be running.

Well if there is a EFI block, then running a program in OS X isn't going to do a lick of good.
After all EFI was designed for Trusted Computing and Digital Rights Management, to act between the OS and hardware, can read drives, contact the Internet and everything.
Windows doesn't use EFI, will have UEFI in Windows 8 though.

My Company was mistakenly sent CS6 for Windows. May I download CS6 for Mac and use serial # for win

my Company was mistakenly sent CS6 for Windows. May I download CS6 for Mac and use serial # for windows?

Unless things have changed, there are separate S/N's for the PC and the Mac versions.
I would immediately contact Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support), and explain the error. I feel that they will be able to help you with replacing the PC version.
Good luck,

If you purchased the Perpetual Licensed version of Lightroom and received a 24 numeric serial number you will have to download the correct version from the link below.
Before doing the new installation you will have to uninstall the existing version from your computer (it is the Creative Cloud version) since it is requesting you to "renew your membership" . This process will not interfere with your Catalog file, Preferences or your personal files, it will just remove the existing application. Both versions are the same application just a different download and activation process.
Reboot your system then run the install of the Perpetual License download and input the serial number to activate. Things should be fine.

QT Pro- have valid reg# for Mac, cant use it with my new PC

QT Pro- have valid reg# for Mac, cant use it with my new PC
gets "Invalid registration" error upon entering the reg code...
Im typing it in the QT control panel on my Windows XP workstation exactly as it appears on my MBP. Am I required to purchase a second license just to use it on a PC ?

thanks for your input. I did some hunting around and eventually discovered that one can buy a QTP for Windows license on the Apple Store $29.99 at the time of this writing. Its clear now that the license code for QTP/Mac will not work for QTP/Win or vice versa. Who woulda thunk it ?
But now we know...

Why do I get a stall every few minutes with a "Pages unresponsive" error frame when using iCloud e-Mail?

Friends: Has anyone heard or seen a suggestion from any source on how to eliminate the several minute stall every several minutes when using iCloud E-Mail through any browser (Safari, IE-11, Chrome) on any Microsoft OS (WIN-8.1, WIN-7-SP1, WIN-XP)? I've seen several other folks express frustration but have seen no actionable replies.
Thanks, George

Absolutely no one posted a reply or suggestion in over a month. Not even one. So, I'm abandoning this query.
If someone in posterity sees this post, please don't reply because it will not be monitored.
Thanks anyway - GeorgeIP

HT204053 Can I see Excel and Word for Mac documents on icloud?

Can I see Excel and Word for Mac documents on icloud?

No, I already have Microsoft Office for Mac on my macbook and on my imac. I want to share the documents from one (imac) to the other through Icloud. But it doesn't show them as an option. How do you share documents on one computer to the other within the same house?

I would like to take excel classes / tutorials (intermediate to advanced) and practice on this computer. Could someone clarify, what software and operating system is needed? Can I just use numbers? Do I need to download Excel for Macs and use Camp Boot?

Numbers is a joke compared to Excel. If I were you I would find a class/tutorial first, find out what they use (and it won't be Numbers) and see if you need the Mac or Windows version of Excel. Note that Excel is not sold as a seperate product from the Microsoft Office suites.
