TS3988 How do I change my iCloud account id on my iPhone? I changed my Apple ID and iCloud Id on my PC but I can not change it on my iPhone and now it won't back up.

How do I change my iCloud account information on my iPhone? I had to change my Apple ID and my iCloud ID on my PC but, I wasn't able to change it on my iPhone and now it won't back up.

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 > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

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 email address on the iphone

How do I change the icloud email address on the iphone 4?

If that is your situation, then you need to do the following:
1. Go back to Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the old email address (this is temporary)
2. You do not need to verify that old address since it is only temporary
3. On your iPhone, go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom and click on Delete Account to delete the old iCloud account. It will ask for your password - type in your current Apple ID password
4. Go back to Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the new email address
5. Go back to the Phone to Settings>iCloud and sign on to iCloud with your new Apple ID

After I've set-up my iOS device with an Apple ID for iCloud, how can I change the iCloud Apple ID?

   After updating my iPad 2 & iPhone 4 to iOS 5, I set-up each one for iCloud, but inadvertently used 2 different Apple ID's (one me.com and one that I typically use for Apple purchases). I realize this will prevent the two devices from syncing. When I try to change the iCloud Apple ID, it is grayed out, and I can't find any way to re-set it on my iPad. Does anyone know how to re-set this ID so both devices are operating on the same ID?
I have a second question (though not as pressing as the first). I'd like to use my me.com ID to sync calendars, contacts, etc., but another ID to sync my Apple purchases (apps, etc.). This way my wife and I could share apps, but each sync our iPhones and iPads to our own content. Does anyone know if this type of dual-ID set-up is possible on one device?
   I know there's a lot of confusion out there, but I'm trying to keep in mind that this is a huge upgrade and transition for Apple, so it will all work out, and should be fantastic when it does. It'll just take a little time to sort out. Thanks for any suggestions! -Bob-

Hi Jeremy,
    That is my understanding. Clicking "Delete Account" is similar to logging out of iCloud with that account.
   But your situation is different from mine, as I had been using my @me.com account for "Find My iPhone" only. I ended up using my @me.com account for iCloud and another account for my Apple iTunes Store purchases.
   That's correct--it will not delete your purchases. You can still back-up to your Mac with iTunes using the same account you used to purchase your Apple stuff. -Bob-

How can I change the icloud account/ email address on my iphone 4s

Hi shelby,
You need to do the following:
1.     Sign into Manage your Apple ID with your current ID and password, and EDIT the ID back to the old email address. This is temporary. Do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on Delete Account.Type in your current password when asked, then follow the prompts to delete the iCloud account from your device
3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and sign in with the old ID and the current password. EDIT the Apple ID back to the new email address. You may have to verify it again.
4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with the new ID

TS4009 How can I change my iCloud Apple ID to be the same on all my devices?

I am using one Apple ID for basically everything now on iTunes. But some of my devices, iPad and iPhone use a different Apple ID.

How can I change the iCloud apple id that is currently in my iPhone?

My sisters and I currently share one iTunes account so that we can share all of the apps and songs that we purchase between our respective ipods/iphones. However, as a result of iCloud, several problems have arisen from this setup: namesly that my younger sister's iPod recieves all of the photos from my photo stream and all of the iMessages from my iPhone. I have been told that it is possible to set up a seperate iTunes account to use only with iCloud, while maintaining another shared iTunes account for the iTunes store. However, when i attempt to change the account currently entered as my iCloud account, my phone will not let me. Does anyone know how I could accomplish that? Or have any other suggestions about how to correct the overall problem? Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple community.
iCloud is a separate account to iTunes, you can change your iCloud account and still keep the iTunes account you are using now. To change your iCloud account, you need to delete it from settings> iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete account button at the bottom.
You can now create a new account in the iCloud settings.

How do I change my iCloud account name on my iPhone?

I recently changed my Apple ID while my phone was out being repaired. I've just got it back and restored it from the backup on my computer. Now it won't let me change my Apple ID. It's being ******** and won't let me change the iCloud Account to my new email address and just keeps the old one. Whenever I enter the password for this account it tells me it's wrong. Seriously how many more issues do Apple have to throw at me?

Thanks Chris, i'm trying to restore my new phone
Will that still work?
I backed up my phone this morning on icloud and updated my account name at the same time

How can i change delete old Apple ID on my iphone, i dont know the password

i change the Apple ID using my PC. My new Apple ID was verified both email and password. My Ipad air sync to the new Apple ID but my iphone wont sync. And everytime i try to change my Apple ID on my iphone it ask for password of the old Apple ID, but it keep saying incorrect ID and password. I cant delete or change because i dont know the password.

You need to reset the password for the old Apple ID.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5787
FYI - all apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps. Not possible to merge or transfer apps downloaded with one Apple ID to another.
This means in order to install an app update with an app that was downloaded with your old Apple ID, you will need to use that Apple ID and password.

HT204053 I created a different Apple ID for Icloud on my new IPhone and having problems with getting Itunes,etc. How do I change my Icloud Apple ID to be the same ID and password?

I created a different Apple ID for my Icloud on my new IPhone (said a free email was available or something similar) rather than the other choice offered of using my same existing Apple ID. Now I keep having issues accessing my account and my password isn't working to access Icloud to download Itunes. Can I undo this new account I created and just use my one existing Apple ID? This is my first IPhone and confused with this part of the setup! Thanks.

If you know the answers to your security questions, you should be able to change your password without using email authentication (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HE36). If you don't, you may be out of luck.

How can I change my iCloud apple id to a different email address?

I followed the directions in apple id support, but when I go to myappleid on my iMac, it already has my mobileme email address and no "edit" button to change it. I don't want it as my primary email. My iPhone is set up with the email account I use most, so now I have two iCloud accounts by accident. Can anyone help me straighten this out?

HT5621 How do I change my icloud apple id? I want to make it the same as my other apple id I use on iTunes.

I want to make my icloud account have the same apple id as my itunes account. My son created it under his email and I don't see an option to change it to mine. Whe I go into setting icloud, I am not able to select his email to change it.

Settings > iCloud > Delete Account. You are then given the option to keep contacts etc. Sign in with the Apple ID you want to use. Sign out of iCloud on your computer if you have it.
