HOw can I change me iCloud email without losing pictures and data

If you sign out it will be removed from the phone (but not from the icloud account)
What are you trying to achieve here, why change your email address?
I just realised that I answered the wrong person.
Jill, you should start your own thread.

  • Father's macbook now mine. How can I change name, admin, etc without losing apps and programs?

    Hello.
    My father bought a Macbook Pro 15'  retina 8Gb ram 256Gb SSD about 2 months ago.
    He set it up, bought many apps and programs but eventually got bored of it and gave it to me.
    He is not a Mac enthusiast and thought he should give it a try but he didn't stick to it.
    I'm not a Mac enthusiast either, but a good notebook is an ok present so I took it.
    I installed some programs and stuff, tried to learn how it works (I have no idea, I was always using windows), and I think I like it.
    However, the MacBook has my father's name, my father is the admin, and all the apps programs etc the he and I bought and installed are in his account.
    I have his password though. That's how I've been using it the whole time.
    How can I change the MacBook to make it "my own"?
    I have an apple ID cause I have an iPhone etc but I'm sure just changing that under the admin page won't be enough.
    Will I lose the apps my father bought?
    Will I have to reinstall all the programs that I installed while I was using the MacBook? For example will photoshop and capture nx be deleted as if I was formatting a pc and I will have to install them again?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    PS. MacBook is now running Mavericks OS X 10.9.4 and I want to upgrade.
    But first I want to make myself the "owner" to start getting things in the right order.

  • How can I change my iCloud account without losing everything on my iPhone?

    When I got my iPhone 4S, I created my own Apple ID with my own information. When my mom got her iPhone a few months later, she used my Apple ID to get it going. I didn't think any harm would come of it, so I let her. But ever since then, she gets all of my iMessages and I get hers. It's really annoying and there's no privacy. I tried asking her to change her ID and get her own, but she doesn't want to. So I figured I would be the one to change even though the information (email address, etc.) on this ID that we share is all mine.
    But I'm not quite sure how to do that, and I'm skeptical because I've heard that I might lose all my photos and other saved content. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iTunes, iCloud, Messages and FaceTime are all seperate services. You could change your ID for Messages without affecting anything else. If you wish to change your ID for iCloud, you would need to save your data, please let us know if you wish to use another ID for more than messages.

  • How can I change my icloud email details and password on icloud

    how can I change my icloud email details and password on my iphone 5s tried all day without success, I have changed my apple ID and password thats okay.
    Joan

    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 iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your 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.  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 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.

  • My old email address was hacked and I am no longer able to access it. How can i reset my icloud ID without losing all of my pictures and more inportantly contacts? I have created a new ID but i cannot seem to use it until I delete the old account

    my old email address was hacked and I am no longer able to access it. How can i reset my icloud ID without losing all of my pictures and more importantly contacts? I have created a new ID but i cannot seem to use it until I delete the old account

    You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
    Have you seen this.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

  • How can i change my icloud email address? i mis typed my name and wanted to change my icloud email address??, how can i change my icloud email address? i mis typed my name and wanted to change my icloud email address??

    hello guys ...i need any help or suggestions, how can i change my icloud email address?? i typed a w rong name by mistake?? can i change it and retype the correct one? thanks ...your suggestio is higly appreciated.

    That's definitely not supposed to happen.  You shouldn't have someone else's iCloud email linked to your ID.
    You'll have to get iCloud support to sort this one out.  The only way to contact them is to start here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/.  You'll have to provide your iPhone serial number.  Unless it's within the 90 day free support window, or you purchased AppleCare, there will be a charge.  I suppose you can plead your case when they answer that you shouldn't be charged as you didn't set up this address and it shouldn't have happened with your ID.

  • I have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page?? please help :-(

    i have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page??
    I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
    please help :-(

    That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
    If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
    If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

    I have changed my email address and changed my Apple ID. However iCloud on my ipad and an ipad mini still shows my old email address. How can I change my iCloud email address?

    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 How can I change my iCloud email address

    How can I change my iCloud email address

    Unfortunately it is not possible to change your primary mac.com or me.com email address for iCloud (See also Apple's FAQ: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs cannot be renamed), but you could stop using this account and create a new one.
    Another option would be to create up to three email alises for your current primary email address.
    Try this to create a new alias for your me.com address:
    Open the web interface of iCloud "www.icloud.com" with Safari
    Log in
    Open "Mail"
    Open "Preferences" (by clicking on the little button in the upper right corner)
    Go to "Accounts"
    Click on "Add an alias" (it would be another me.com address, you can not create new mac.com addresses since MobileMe was launched)
    Finished
    By the way: If you want to set up iCloud on your Mac you need Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • How can I change my iCloud email and password?

    How can I change my iCloud email and password ? My iCloud password can't open my iCloud account any more

    You can change your email address and password at
          https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    Use the links:
    Manage your Apple ID
    or

    But that requires, that you know your current password, or have set up an rescue email, or know the answers to the security questions.  (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312)
    If you cannot provide these, you will need to contact AppleSupport for help:
    only they will be able to help you. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone umbers given or an email form:
         Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    Explain, that you need help with an account security problem.

  • HT4864 How can I change my iCloud email to my AppleID email they are not the same

    How can I change my iCloud email to my AppleID email?  They are not the same and somehow were switched by my teenage daughter.  I can access the account and change anything except my iCloud eMail account.

    Hi itsjeffb,
    If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like your daughter may have set up an alias account under iCloud. Your AppleID email address may or may not be the same as you iCloud email address, depending on how it was set up. The following articles provide more information about iCloud email addresses and how aliases work under iCloud:

  • How do i change my icloud email without loosing any of my current emails

    how do i change my icloud email without loosing any of my current emails

    You couldn't change your primary email address (only aliases are possible, which wouldn't affect your stored emails). If you would like to have a new primary @icloud.com address, then you would have to create a new account.
