How can I change the details on my iCloud storage account.

I recently changed my email address and as a result, my Apple ID. My storage account for iCloud still has the old address associated with it. How can I change this?

If the bottom line is that you now have a new icloud account and want to use it instead of the old account, you need to get the Apple data from the old account and put it into the new account.  (Note that this won't copy things like photos, instead sync them to a computer first.)
When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. 
When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. 
After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc.  Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there.  These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.

    How can I change the email associated with my forum account?  I didn't provide my work email to you, but you put it in my account.  My forum postings have nothing to do with my personal PC at home.  There isn't an option to update it.

    Hi:
    Log in and click on your user name, then look at the upper the right side of the page.
    Click on the triangle to the left of the "More Resources" section.
    This will drop down, and give you options.
    Select User Settings.
    This will now open a page, and in the light blue type on top, follow it along to Contact Information, click on that, and change your e-mail address to what you want, and hit the blue submit button on the bottom right side of the page.

  • How can i change the email address for Icloud on my Iphone 4

  • How can i change the screen name in my icould account?

    my Apple ID used to have my Dad's name because of the billing issues.. now is changed again to have my name, but i keep seeing that my account on icloud.com still says my dad's name, so if i try to send an email through there it says my dad's name and my email address instead of my name...
    how can i change the name that appears linked to my icloud account? (note that as i already sayd my Apple ID has my name now, i jsut want to know why is not my name in my icloud account?)
    thank you,

    I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.
    Also, if you are trying to change the sender name for your iCloud email account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail (Command-Q) on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.
    (The image was removed in your post above because it showed your iCloud email address.)

    thank you

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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 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")
    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.

  • How can i change the security question on my itunes account??

    How can i change my security question but i dont remember my old questions????

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    No, you cannot change the original email address you created on setup.  However, you can create an alias using the nickname - see http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2622

  • How can I change the country in my personal Adobe Account details

    In the Adobe Account, when updating my details, it states that when changing country, in my case from Germany to United Kingdom, I have to ask via this method using the customer service - it reads "Wenn Sie ein anderes Land auswählen möchten, wenden Sie sich bitte an den Kundendienst." So here I am. I have never used this before and have no idea how to see the answer if any are posted.
    Why make it so difficult, it must be very common in Europe that people move around nowadays. Why can't I update my details?
    I can't read German that well but my account is all in German, at least have an option to change languages.
    Thanks

    Hi 7oaksGaz,
    1) Due to tax reasons, it's not possible to change the country associated with an existing Adobe ID.
    Follow the steps mentioned in the below link as a workaround to create an Adobe ID with the email address you currently use for the existing Adobe ID.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/change-country-associated-with-adobe-id. html
    2) You can change the language of the application from AAM preferences
    Please find the link below for the article with the steps

  • How can I examine the contents of my icloud storage

    I received a warning today that my icloud storage was low. I checked and of 55 gig, I had used over 54 gig. I was not permitted to purchase more.
    I would like to examine the contents so that I can prune the excess. I have "drop box"', so presume I could move some contents to this back up facility.
    Advice please

    You can't, the Nano does not have WiFi.

  • HT204053 how do I change the details in my icloud account information.?:

    for some reason it is showing my daughters email address in the account information and where it says allow sending from again it is her details and I cant change it.  Does anyone know how.  It shows this on all our ipods, ipads and iphones..

    It sounds like you are signed in to your daughters iCloud account on all your devices.
    Delete the account from Settings > iCloud on the devices you don't want it on, and then sign back in again with your own iCloud account. You will then have access to your own iCloud account info and email.
