Changing my Apple ID on my iCloud on iMac too ....

Hi, I've changed my Apple ID on Apples pages, because I needed a new e-mail adress. Unfortunately, my iCloud preferences on my iMac with OSX.8.3 still clings to my old e-mail adress, as does Apple Store, and there seems to be no way to change the Apple ID/e-mail adress. There has to be, right?

Logout of the old account in everything, then log in with the new address.

  • I changed my Apple ID for an iphone 4s and need to change the iCloud Apple ID/password.  I am unable to change the Apple ID under the iCloud account information without the password which no longer exists.  How can I update my phone?

    I had to change the Apple ID used for my iphone 4s.  How do I change the Apple ID for the iCloud information? - the old Apple ID/password no longer exists and this information is requested to make a change.  I am unable to change the Apple ID for the iCloud account.

    Apple IDs never go away, so it still exists.
    But lets be clear. You actually stopped using an Apple ID and created a NEW Apple ID. You didn't just change the email address of your Apple ID? That means that all of the music and apps purchased with the old Apple ID will have to be purchased again.
    If you really did create a new Apple ID you will need the password associated with the old one to disable Activation Lock. There is no way around this. As I said, the old one still exists. You can use the standard tools to recover the password at https://appleid.apple.com.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • HT204053 I changed my Apple ID and my icloud storage in my IPad was not transferred to my new ID, how can you help me?

    I changed my Apple ID and my icloud storage was not transferred to the new one, how can I retrieve it?

    To change the iCloud ID 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.  However, with iOS 7, you must provide the password for the old ID to turn of Find My iPhone before you can delete the account.
    If the old ID is an earlier version of your current 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 iPhone on your device, 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.

  • How can I change my apple iD in my iCloud account info on my iPhone 4

    How can I change my Apple ID in my iCloud account for my iPhone 4?  I have updated to my new Apple ID on iCloud and iTunes, but my phone still shows my old apple id, thus it's not letting me restore previously backed up info.

    Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  Then log in using a different ID.

    I also leave apps open that I use regularly as this saves battery and processing power by not having to keep opening and closing them.
    Many people find that hard to understand, but from what I've read it's quite true. Yep, it's true. Leaving apps open does use less battery than constantly closing and re-opening them (certainly true on iOS). This is because, as MI5 explained, the phone doesn't have to use battery and processing power to continually re-open them. iOS 'pauses' each app when you come out of it, so that it's not using any power. The only time that an app will use power in the background is if you have background usage enabled. The app would then use power whether it has been closed or not. Examples of this would be apps such as Facebook or Twitter where the phone is continually checking for notifications. Battery usage is absolutely minimal though

  • Changed my Apple ID email, but ICloud does not recognize my new login, only my old one (which is now non-existent) HELP!

    Changed my Apple ID email, but ICloud does not recognize my new login, only my old one (which is now non-existent) and requires the password to do anything. Everytime I go onto the ICloud  page it shows my old email and requires the password, but I can't exactly type in a password because that won't work. I can't find a way to change my email or delete ICloud.

    If the old ID is an earlier version of your current 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 iDevice 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 (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).

    I changed my Apple ID and now icloud wants the password from the old ID, which no longer works. I've tried the new password too. icloud gets caught in a loop and won't let me exit the screen...

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Change your ID back (My Apple ID), delete the iCloud account from your device, change the ID back again to what it is now, log in on your phone using your new ID.

  • I changed my Apple ID but my iCloud didn't change to the new ID. If I delete the old iCloud will I lose all data on my iPod ?

    I changed my Apple ID but my iCloud didn't change to the new ID. If I delete the old iCloud will I lose all data on my iPod ?

    - Go to Settings>iCloud. Scroll to to bottom of the screen and tap the delete button. The effect all the services listed in Settings>iCloud like Notes, Contact and Calendar.
    - You may be offered the option to retain that data on the iPod. Otherwise it gets deleted.
    It does not effect synced media like apps and music purchased with the account..
    Note that purchases made with an Apple ID are locked to the ID that purchased them. To update apps you have to sing into the account that purchased them

  • HT4436 is there a way to change the apple ID on an Icloud account? I used to share everything with my daughter but she's old enough we need to separate the accounts.. I would like to "give" the ICloud account to her, because all of her games are on it.

    Is there a way to change the apple ID on an Icloud account? I would like to "give" an ICloud account to my daughter. We used to share one, but she's getting older I would like to split our accounts. She has her own Apple ID but since all her games are on this ICloud account, I would like to give it to her and start my own.

    You can migrate your device and a copy of the iCloud data to a new account.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your daughter's device won't be effected by this), choose Keep on My iPad and provide the password when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data.
    Once you are on separate accounts you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
    The existing iCloud email account cannot be moved to your new account so you will need to give your contacts your new email address if you are giving the account to your daughter.

  • TS4050 I typed the wrong apple ID and now I have no access to my ICloud. How can I change my apple ID on my Icloud?

    I typed the wrong apple ID and now I have no access to my ICloud. How can I change my apple ID on my Icloud?

    I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Posting your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
    If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile.
    You should be able to change that address at My Apple ID

  • How can I change my apple ID on my iCloud account?

    How can I change my apple ID on my iCloud account?

    Yes, you delete the account, then sign back in with a new ID to create their new account.  With iOS 7 you will be prompted to provide your password in order to delete the account.  Also, when you delete the account you will be asked if you want to keep or delete the iCloud data from the device.  If you plan to migrate a copy of the data to the new account, choose Keep, then choose Merge after signing into the new account to upload the data.

  • Changing your apple id for your icloud on your iphone

    I bought my iphone about 6 months ago and I used my family's apple id for icloud but now I am going to college and think it is a good time to have my own apple id especially because i just bought a new computer and need to use an apple id for that too. I set up a new apple id on my computer and just need to change the apple id on my icloud on my phone. I was wondering if I change my apple id on my icloud on my phone will all my contacts and stuff be erased?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are your contacts currently just on your phone or part of someone else's iCloud account. Have you enabled iCloud contact syncing under your iCloud account on your computer yet.
