How do i change apple id for icloud

My wife and I both have iphone 4s. All info is coming up on both phones(calendar, reminders, notes, etc.) We changed one phone with a different apple ID, but for icloud it keeps showing other ID (main acct ID). Hope you can help.

If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new 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 iDevice, 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.

Settings-icloud-scroll to the bottom, select delete, if you want to keep the content select keep, otherwise it'll remove it. Then once it is done add the account information for the account you want on that phone. Your apple ID in settings-store will remain the same and each device can still purchase/use content from that account.

How do I change Apple ID for iCloud account?

I changed Apple ID online because my email address changed. How can I change Apple ID for iCloud?

If you renamed your iCloud ID and need to change it on your device, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

how to change apple id for icloud?

From the knowledgeable Roger Wilmut:
You can't change the primary email address, the one you created when you opened an iCloud account (or if you migrated from MobileMe the address you log in with) other than by opening a completely new account.

However you can create three 'email aliases' - these are extra addresses, not accounts, which deliver into the same inbox as the main address.

It's actually quite a good idea to give out an alias address rather than the main one, since these can be easily changed should you get spammed.

Changing Apple ID for iCloud

I changed my email for my Apple ID but icould will not recognize it so I am constantly getting a pop up to enter my password for my old apple id. How do I change my email for icloud so i stop receiving these pop ups?

All depends on the form of your iCloud ID...if you used an @me.com or @mac.com email/ID then it cannot be changed...iCloud IDs in that form are unchangable.

Change Apple ID for iCloud

Some time ago I Inherited my wife's previous iPad along with her Apple ID for ICloud. I have now purchased a new iPad air 2 and transferred the old iPad info however her iCloud email address (gmail) came along with the transfer. I have my own Apple ID set up for ITunes and would like to change the old ID to match so I'll have the same one for both my iCloud and ITunes accounts. Can I please get some guidance on how to do this? She still uses her Apple ID on her devices so I'd only like to make this change on my iPad (and Iphone). Thanks a lot.

Hi Friend,
Delete the account (in Settings>iCloud), then set up a new account using her ID. If you need to migrate any iCloud data to the new account, be sure to choose "Keep on My iDevice" when prompted about what to do with the iCloud data; then when setting up the new account, to merge the data with the new account be sure to choose Merge.
Hope it helps

How i can change the ID for icloud?

I lost my pass for iCLOUD account, did a new ID with a different mail but i can't change because need it the last password ID.

Hi aordonez85,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on your exact situation. If you are saying that after losing the password for your Apple ID/iCloud account, you created an entirely new account (instead of resetting the password on the previous account), and are now having issues changing the iCloud settings on your iPhone, you may find one of the following articles helpful (depending on if you intend to use a single Apple ID, or different Apple IDs for iCloud and Store purchases):
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

HT5622 Changing Apple ID for iCloud

I changed my Apple ID on iTunes and have successfully changed it under the iTunes App Store on my iPad and iPhone, but have not figured out how to change it for iCloud. Do I have to delete the iCloud account (old ID) and set up a new one for the current Apple ID?

Thanks for your response. I've now tried deleting the account, but it prompts for the password to the old Apple ID. I tried both old and new passwords, but as expected, neither worked. I get a message that either the Apple ID or password is incorrect....not surprising since the old Apple ID is the problem to begin with! Any other suggestions?

HT4759 how do I change the browser for icloud

I just pinned the iCloud calendar to my taskbar. When I click to open it, it says it works better on Safari or Firefox browsers, but I don't see where to change the option. I have IE but I also have Firefox. How to I tell iCloud to use Firefox when opening from the task bar?

Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old account when prompted to turn of Find My iPhone, the sign back in with your current ID. If you don't know the password, or it is not accepted, do one of the following:
If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then 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 and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was. You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so. You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

Impossible to change Apple id for iCloud

Hello,
I have an Apple Id for iTunes on my MB and unfortunatlely I gave another email adress (this means another apple id was created) for iCloud.
So I have 2 Apple Id, and of course I forgot the pwd of the second one (for iCloud) and it's just impossible to change it because for some unknowable reasons :
1- the email confirmation to verify this mail address never arrives on my mbox !!!
2- the asnwer to the private question is wrong !!! Awesome, i think i know my birthday but it seems like iCloud stored a wrong information !!
So I just can't change neither the pwd of this second Apple Id neither the Id itself to come back to a simplier configuration : only one apple id ...
Consequences are awesome :
1- By default, appstore on the iPhone use the iCloud Apple ID --> I can't download anymore apps because i don't have the pwd
2- It's impossible to change iCloud id on the iPhone to put the first one used for iTunes on my MB
The most strangest thing is that on the website https://www.icloud.com/ , I can log on with the iTunes apple Id ....
I called the hotline, they can't answer me and of course, there's no contact mail on iCloud website ....
Please help ...
Thank you

How can I change Apple ID for App Store?

I changed my Apple ID, Itunes on my Itouch recognizes it, but the app store does not. How can I change AppleID for App Store? When I try to update my apps it asks for the password for my old Apple ID which does not exist anymore.

Thank you for the reply. I've done that twice and have no problem getting into the ITunes store. Problem is that I have 12 apps that want to be updated. I go to App Store and slect to "update all" and first thing it does is bring up my old AppleID (no place to change it) and asks for the password for that Apple ID.
I tried doing a sync to my computer in case that would work, but no help. I wonder if I will have to do a complete reset just to fix this???

Hi!
I just changed my email address (and thus my Apple ID). I was able to change the Apple ID for my email on my iPhone, but for some reason I cannot change the Apple ID on my device for iCloud. Please help!
Thanks!

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. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, 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.

- Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account
