Changing my icloud account on macbook pro
When I set up my new macbook pro last month I entered in the wrong email information. My itunes is under a charter.net account and I put in my regular email which is a gmail.com. How can I change this so my iphone and ipad are matched up with my new macbook?
To change the account on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the iCloud ID you are using on your phone and iPad.
When you sign out, you will be disconnecting from the current iCloud account so any iCloud data you are syncing will disappear from your Mac. When you sign into the other account, the data from that account will sync back to your Mac. If there is any synced data on your Mac now that does not exist in the other account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into the other account and enter the data there before deleting the existing account from your Mac.

After the latest update, all my apple products reverted to an old icloud account. As it no longer exists, I cannot get into it to delete it and add the correct id. How can I change this, especially on my Macbook pro? There is no p/w related to it and even though I tried to reset "password" it won't allow as the id does not exist, neither does the email associated with the old id. How do I switch it to a newer id?
It's all rather odd because the old account cannot 'no longer exist' - if you don't have the correct password you won't be able to get into it, but you can't actually delete an iCloud account from the server.
I'm afraid you will need the services of iCloud Support. If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee. -
My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?
You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
Hope I can help! -
I currently use iCloud on a MacBook Pro. I opened my iBook G4 that hasn't been used in years. I have many email messages that i would like to transfer to the MacBook Pro, but every password I use to access MobileMe is not accepted. Any suggestions on retrieving or transferring the emails?
MobileMe was discontinued around 2 years ago. Anything on the MMe servers are long gone. The MMe passwords are uselsess because MMe is no more.
Unless you created an iCloud account back before MMe was taken off line you won't be able to recover any emails.

Question on iCloud accounts: I have my iPhone and iPad on one iCloud account, but my Mac is on my old Mobile me account. Can't figure out how to change my iCloud account on my MacBook Pro so all 3 are synced.
First, open System Preferences > MobileMe and log out. Then, open > About this Mac and see Version. If you see 10.5.x or 10.6.x, see > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If your Mac is compatible, upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and purchase OS X Mountain Lion.
When you have upgraded, go to System Preferences > iCloud and follow its steps -
How do i change my iCloud account on my iMac with another account
some please help, my daughter has replaced my icloud account details with hers, now i cant log into my icloud on my macbook pro.
When i click on icould from my prefences... her details pop up. ihave tried to log her out without any luck.
Please can someoen tell me what to do?
i can't seem to log her icloud account out.Hi funlola,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Use these steps to sign out of iCloud with your daughter's Apple ID:
OS X Mountain Lion and later: Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then click iCloud.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Click Sign Out. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked if you want to make copies or delete iCloud data (Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, Bookmarks, Photo Stream) from your Mac. Click “Delete from Mac”. The data will be deleted from your Mac, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your Mac.

I recently change my nettwork company/internet supplier, and my old email account was stopped. My old email address was also my icould account identification. I managed to change my Apple ID to my new mail address along with a new password, but I can't for the live of me change and do the same with my icloud. What do I do? How do I change my icloud account/identity (has to be a complete email address)??????? This goes for my Macbook pro, ipad 2 and iphone 4
I really hope someone can help me....Evidently you have two Apple IDs, one in use for iCloud and one not. You have changed the latter to be your new emails address. Having done this you cannot change the iCloud Apple ID to be the same as the other ID since this would in effect merge them, which is not possible. You will have to find another email address to change it to, such as a free Yahoo or GMail one.

How do I change the name of my macbook pro?
How do I change the name of my macbook pro. My full name is listed on it and I want to change that. In the upper right hand corner it is correct but all that lists is my login name.
Mr. Pat, there are some people who still try to do that, but you are risking losing all your music, photos, email, etc. It is not for the faint of heart. This page, albeit published in 2003 by Dr. Smoke, is still pretty valid, IMHO:
http://thexlab.com/faqs/renamehomerecovery.html
Here's the opening copy:
Recover from renaming your Home folder
It is a grave mistake to rename your Home folder -- changing its file name from johnsmith toJohn, for example -- in an attempt to change the short name for your account when using Mac® OS X.
Here's a newer, last scary article from the Apple Knowledge Base:

Trying to set up iCloud on my MacBook Pro, and I get to the point where it tells me to view my email for further instructions on verification of my account, but there is no such email in my inbox, even after submitting multiple requests to resend the email. Any idea what I can do? Mark
Well, running on a 2006 model. I did not have a startup disc. Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006. Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set. And, since then I think I popped it up to lion.
All I have on a disc is snow leopard. And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive. I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now. We'll see what they tell me . I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff. So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc. we'll see if they can recover. If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system. Just not sure at this point. -

ICloud sync with MacBook Pro does not work
I've installed iOS 5, updated Lion to 10.7.2, marked Calendar and Contacts sync in System settings for iCloud on my Mac. However iCal and Address Book sync between iCloud and Mac (MacBook Pro) does not work though there is no problem in syncing between iCloud and iPhone. Whether I create new event or contact, change existing one or delete existing one in iCloud this change is not reflected on my Mac and vise versa. I could not find a solution in this site or in forums.
Yep, worked for me, too and now contacts and calendar seem to be syncing perfectly. We'll see if it lasts.
Thanks for your answer. -
Someone changed the password to my macbook pro

HT204053 Trying to set up iCloud on my MacBook Pro.
Trying to set up iCloud on my MacBook Pro. I am running OS X. I don't see the iCloud icon in my systems preference folder period why is this? I am unable to set up my iCloud account.
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is now non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table -
Hi Apple Team, I would like to change the iCloud account on my iPhone, however it says I must 'delete the account' before doing so? Does this mean that I delete the entire existing account, or just delete it from my phone specifically?
From the iPhone only.
