Changed my Apple ID, but iCloud ID no longer works. How do I get iCloud ID and password to work now?
I had to terminate my old email address due to excessive SPAM and notes from friends being returned as undeliverable.
I set up a new email account at Outlook.com and then changed my Apple Store log-in ID and password (and that works fine). BUT, iClould asked me to sign in this morning, and I could not do so BECAUSE iCloud still had my old Apple ID (which is now defunct). I attempted to just delete my old iCloud account, BUT it insisted that I enter the correct password for the old ID -- which is no longer valid at Apple and does not work.
So, how do I get rid of my old iCloud account and ID so that it stops pestering me on my iPhone and iPad?
Nope. Can't delete the iCloud account on my iOS devices BECAUSE the password for the account to be deleted must be entered. As I said, I already changed my Apple Store account and password. When I did that, the old user ID and old password were rendered invalid. So, one more time. How do I change or delete my iCloud account. I don't use iCloud, BUT it keeps pestering me to sign in. This is an Apple fiasco!

I need to change my apple email as it's my work one and that is finishing. But the only other email I have which I want to use is apparently my back up one and it won't let me use that. Any help greatly appreciated. Jez
Hi Jez224,
This article will tell you how to change the email address associated with your Apple ID -
Change your Apple ID
The following section is particularly important -
You can change your Apple ID to any address, except an address used by another Apple ID. You can change the address of any Apple ID, except an Apple ID that ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I changed my Icloud Email and Password on Itunes, Now i cannot change the AppleID on my Iphone 5
I changed my AppleID on 3 of my Iphones, but my Iphone 5 will not allow me access to change my AppleID in the Icloud Settings. How do I change it?
You have to change the ID on the iPad and the iPod as well. On both devices, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID? Tap the old ID and sign out. Then sign in with the new ID.

So I'm new to Garage band and I know I can use my computer keyboard as a midi interface for some instruments, i.e. drums. However I notice that when I click on some instruments like horns or guitar a pop up opens that says I need to download them at about 1.2 GB of free storage. I click on ok to start the download and the app store pops up but after loading it tells me there are no updates available. Could it be possibly bc I am using the GB that came on the computer and not the paid app or is it just me not doing somehting right? Not sure what else to do and I want these instruments to fool around with and create awesome music...any help would be appreciated.
Mahalo!You should be able to download and use the additional loops without a problem, but it works not always smoothly. And there have been different fixes that worked for different people. See this long thread if something will work in your case:
GarageBand '11 won't download additional loops: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15137750#15137750
Sometimes you simply need to reload the "Updates" tab of the AppStore using ⌘R after signing in with your AppleID and starting the download. -

I changed my apple id but the applie id for icloud did not change on my mac in system preferences.
I have changed my apple id on system preferences under users and groups but the icloud preferences don't pick up the change.
I restarted my computer, and still no change.
I have been using icloud under my old apple id for mail calendars and notes.
How do I get icloud account information to change on my mac's system preferences and match my new apple id?
I am missing something.
Please help. Thanks.Thank you Roger, your solution gave me the courage to sign out of Systems Preferences. The pop up told me it was going to delete my contact and other information from my mac, so I was hesitant to do that. Well I did as you directed and I was able to sign in with my new apple id and I did not lose the information the pop up threatened I was going to. So again thank you. It is the little things that make a big difference sometimes.

I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized on the appleid website, so my password for my old apple id won't work.
Any suggestions?If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name. (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library. If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account. To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. -
I recently changed my apple ID but the old on is still on my iCloud account. The old address is dimmed on iCloud on my iPad so I can't change it. How do I change to the new address? I don't want to delete the account as I don't want to lose the pictures
To change it, you have delete the existing account. However you can avoid losing any pictures in the process. 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. (Camera roll photos are not effected by deleting the account.)
Then 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. -

I recently changed my Apple ID but it did not transfer over to my iCloud account. How do I change my iCloud ID? The password for the new Apple ID does not work since the iCloud default user name is imbedded in the login box. The login popup for iCloud will not go away so I cannot get into my iPad since it pops up as soon as I turn the device on and re-occurs every few seconds.
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 iPad 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 iPad 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.

I recently changed my apple ID but my previous apple ID is associated with my icloud account. I'm setting up my new iphone 6 and cannot complete the set up until I can sync my icloud account. Does anyone know how to change the icloud id?
Do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the 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. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPhone and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your phone). -

I have changed my apple-id but I cannot change it on my iCloud
I have changed my apple-id but I cannot change it on my iCloud so it still comes up with the old apple-id and asks for the old password. Problem is that the old apple-id is an e-mail account that is closed so I cannot get the information sent on the old account. I can access the iCloud account on my mac but not through iTunes so I cannot retrieve old information or activate Find my iPhone.
When I try to delete my iCloud account on my iPhone it comes up with my old apple-id and will not accept my old password so I cannot delete the iCloud account.
It is driving me crazy. Any ideas?ashibobytariq wrote:
Same thing happened to me, m still searching the solution, plz let me kno too if u find any wayout.
If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), 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 iDevice, 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.
