Changing iCloud user name

I lost information on my iphone so did an older back up only to have an old email address come up on my iCloud. I obtain the info I wanted and now I can't reset it back to the current info as I do not know the password to the old email to turn off find my iPhone. I have tried turning off the device and disconnecting it from my current Apple account but because its under an old email address it still seems to be connected. Can anyone tell me how I change the email address or reset the email address. It won't let me delete the account either as it requires a password. I've tried resetting too and it doesn't work.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you can use one iCloud account between multiple devices.
    What do you mean 'change the iCloud user name'.

  • After I converted to OS5, the iCloud user name on my iPad is set to my email address, not my iCloud User ID.  How can I change it.  It's correct on my iPhone and MacBook.

    You'll need to save the documents first from the incorrect iCloud account, sign out then sign in to the correct iCloud account and upload the documents to that account.

    Can anyone assist me to update my iCloud user name on my ipad

    You have to delete the old 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, you will have to do one of the following:
    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. 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 and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was.  You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so.  You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • HT5624 iCloud user name

    I recently updated my username and password through apple which was very easy. But it hasnt updated in Icloud and it wont allow me to change my user name unless I use the old password which I cant remember!!!
    It allowed me to change it in itunes & apps but not icloud
    It wont even let me restore the phone without the password I cant remember
    Please help!!

    Hi Clairegrace,
    You need to do the following:
    1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and sign on with your current Apple ID and password. Then, go in and Edit your New Password, and change it back to the old one (this is temporary - do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
    2.     Go to Settings>ICloud, scroll to the bottom and click on Delete Account. Type in your current password when asked. Follow the prompts to complete the deletion
    3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and change the Apple ID back to your New ID (you may need to verify it)
    4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your new ID
    You should be all set!
    Cheers,

  • Old iCloud user name on phone

    I changed my email address over a year ago and changed my iCloud login email address.  I think.  The problem is this - the iCloud user name on my iphone 5 is different than my computer and ipad.  I don't know the login info for the old account.  At the very bottom of the screen, I have the Sign Out option. However, I have to have the password to turn off 'Find my Phone'.  I have tried all the passwords I can think of that I have used in past.  I don't know what the password is and I don't have the email address any more to reset it.  I have an iphone 5 (iOS 8.1.1) Help!!!

    If your device is signed into an old ID that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
    If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services 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 iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 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 device).

  • We have an itunes account on our desktop and my kids have it on their ipod and iphone. I went in and changed our user name from my old e-mail address which is no longer accessible to my new one and now either of my kids can access the itunes store..

    We have an itunes account on our desktop and both my kids have it on iphone and ipod. I went in and changed out user name from an old e-mail address which is no longer accessible to my one I use now... When the kids try to sign onto the itunes store it tells them they have the wrong user name..
    Can this be fixed??

    Did you change the email address or create a new Apple ID?
    If the email address associated with the account was merely changed, sign out of the Apple ID on the devices and sign in using the new credentials.

    I changed the user name this morning, later the screensaver popped up. The screen shows the old user name and does not accept the password, so i cannot even open the main page.

  • Change of user name

    Hi all,
    I just bought a Macbook pro. I was wondering if anyone knew how to change the user name of the computer. The one associated to the little house icon.
    I have been trying unsuccessfully to do it!
    A part that I'm really enjoying my new computer!
    thanks a lot!
    t

    If it is new and you haven't added anything to it, just create a new account with the name you want. Make it able to administer the computer and then log in to it. Delete the other one, or keep it for testing and troubleshooting.

  • How to change my user name?

    I want to change the user name in "Users and Groups"
    I changed it so that in the upper right hand corner of the desktop it reflects the new name, but when I open the Users folder, it still has the old name.  I want to change the name of the main users folder.  However, I would rather not change my Apple ID (which is my old user name).
