How change the iCloud account that I sign in with?

I have successfully changed my iCloud account name/ email address that is attached to it and iCloud on my phone recognizes that and tells me what my username and password are incorrect.  I can change the password that I type in one my phone but not what the username says. Is there anything that I can do short of resetting my phone?
Thanks!

If you really did precisely what you just said you did.
You have to delete icloud account from your phone and when it asks you should also delete all info.
Then you will sign into your account with your new user name/apple id and it will download everything back in minute or two.
If you did something else and not what you described as "changed my iCloud account name" and follow my
instructions - you risk losing all your information.

  • How can I change the iCloud account that my iPad backs up to? I now have two iPads. I want the older to go to a new account and the new one to sync to the original account.

    iPad sync to the iCloud account

    You have to create a new Apple ID for the new iPad. But you really don't want to do that because them you will have to purchase all of your content again because paid content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it originally. You will not be able to download all of your previously purchased content for free.
    You can backup multiple iDevices to one iCloud account, I backup my iPod and iPad to one iCloud account. You can always purchase more storage space if you need it. IMO - if you still have a computer - use iTunes. You are only limited by the capacity left on your hard drive when you backup. No need to keep paying for more iCloud storage - again, just my opinion.

  • How do i change the icloud account on my iphone to a different existing account

    I have a business iPhone 5S on which the iTunes account is associated with the Apple ID I signed up for using my business e-mail. I signed in to iCloud with a personal Apple ID account to get some of my personal music onto the device. I have been trying to find out how to change the iCloud account to my business Apple ID. I'd like to be able to switch back and forth if I want. I have read several posts that advise deleting the iCloud account, but I still have personal devices I would like to continue to use with this Apple ID and iCloud account. The extent of the deletion is not addressed.
    If I use the delete account under iCloud, does that delete it from the device, or does it delete it permanently? Tried adding my business email to the iCloud account, but it won't let me because it is associated with another Apple ID (duh). Am I stuck here?
    iPhone 5S, iOS 8.1 - just updated.
    The only option under iCloud is "Sign Out"

    Deleting an iCloud account only deletes it from the Device, not from iCloud.  In iOS 8, the name of this setting changed to "Sign Out" as that is a better reflection of what actually happens.  Your iCloud data remains on the server, available to devices still signed into the account, but the device you sign out of the account on is disconnected from the account, and as a result, the iCloud data from that account is removed from the device.  It will redownload to the device should you sign back into the account.
    The only issue you'll run into when you switch between accounts is with my photo stream photos older than 30 days.  When you delete (or sign out of) and account, your photo stream photos are deleted along with the other data from the account in question.  However, unlike other data which remains on the server and can redownload to your device when you sign back in, my photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.  When you sign back in, you will only get back my photo stream photos added in the last 30 days (as older photos are no longer in iCloud to redownload).  Like other account data, any my photo stream photos on your other devices signed into the account are unaffected by this.  If you want to keep older my photo stream photos on your device as you change iCloud accounts, save them to your camera roll before deleting (signing out of) the account.

  • HT3965 how do i change the iCloud account information on my iPhone?

    How do i change the iCloud Account information for an iphone.  I set up my wifes iPhone and my phone with the same iCloud Account name name.  Later, i added another phone on my ATT account for my mother, but made an Apple iCloud Account in her name.  Now, to use the find my iphone feature, i need to change her iCloud account user name to be the same as mine.  How do I change that?

    You dont need to change the iCloud account to use that feature, when you use find my iPhone all you would need to do is sign into her iCloud account to locate her iPhone.
    If you want to change the account used on the iPhone for iCloud then go to settings>icloud and select the option at th bottom that says "delete account" then select "keep on my iphone". After that you then sign in with your iCloud account.

  • How do I change the iCloud account on my iPhone?

    I had to change my account name on my computer and the previous email does not even exist anymore. It wont let me delete the account off of my phone unless I turn off Find My iPhone, which I cannot do because the iCloud account that it asks the password for is nonexistent. How can I get this account off of my phone??

    You would have to find out what the password was. Have you already tried to reset the password (https://appleid.apple.com)?

  • 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?

  • How do I unlock my iPhone with my IMEI code on iTunes. And how do I change the iCloud account connecting to the phone?

    My sister got the 5S, so she has given me her old 4S. She got the IMEI code from her network to allow me to unlock it. When I plug the phone into my computer, how do I use the IMEI code to unlock it on iTunes. The text my sis got from O2 says, "Apple have confirmed the iPhone IMEI 01.....etc. is set to unlock. To complete, connect the device to iTunes with a SIM never used in the iPhone". But I'm not sure what to do, I already connecting the iPhone with my SIM to iTunes... What next? Also how do I change the iCloud account connected to the phone (hers) to my own?
    Thanks.

  • TS4002 how do I change the iCloud account name?

    How do I change the iCloud account name?

    Do you mean the username? The part before the @ in your iCloud email address?
    If so, you can't change it. You can setup a completely new iCloud account under a different AppleID, or you can setup an email alias to your current iCloud account.

  • On my iPad, if I deleted the iCloud account that I am signed in with, does it delete the entire account (even on other devices)? And would that also delete the apps on the iPad downloaded with that iClouds account?

    On my iPad, if I deleted the iCloud account that I am signed in with, does it delete the entire account (even on other devices)? And would that also delete the apps on the iPad downloaded with that iClouds account?

    They were initially setup with the smae Apple ID but when you delete the iCloud account from the phone you disassociate iCloud items on your phone.
    If you want to rid the device of the Apple ID completely you will need to sign out in seceral places:
    Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
    Settings > Messages > Turn off iMessage
    Setings > FaceTime > Turn off FaceTime
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Sign out
    Settings > Game Center > Apple ID > Sign out
    Note: You can keep the iTunes & App Stores sign in to share purchases without any effect on anything else
    You should consider getting your own Apple ID.

  • I want to change my iCloud account. Buying iPad we gave a virtual (forwarding) email addr. We need to change to a real address. But when we try to change the iCloud account, we can only change the password. Note: we don't have Mac, only iPad and Windows.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    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.

  • I want to change the iCloud account on my iPad from mine to my wife's

    BUT I get a message saying that if I delete my account it will remove all data from iCloud! Which is not what I want as I want to continue to use my iCloud on my iPhone and remotely.
    There is no option in settings for changing the iCloud account, so it looks like you need to delete the one you have in there and set up a new one .

    My problem is that when I try to delete (and change) my iCloud account on my iPhone, it wants to delete all the data from my iPhone, which is something I don't want.

    We changed the iCloud account on the Mac Book and now we can not use some part of iCloud like Documents, etc on the Mac book to sync to iPad.
    It says it is not the principal account.

    The iPad and the Mac need to be signed into the same account, 2 different accounts won't work
