  • How do I add my new E-Mail address to my iCloud account on my iPhone?

    Hey,
    A few weeks ago, I changed my Apple ID on iCloud via my computer but I can't update my Apple ID on my iPhone 5s. ITunes won't let me back up my phone to iCloud or install software/App updates.
    I need this problem fixing ASAP as I use my iPhone as my main device (E-Mail's, Calendars, Social Media, E.t.c.) for work so what should I do?
    Cheers,
    Dave.

    If your device is signed into an old ID that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
    If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the 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.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • HT2486 HOw do I transfer contact numbers and email address from my Mac to my new iphone?

    How do I transfer contact numbers and email address from my Mac to my new iphone?

    Connect your iPhone 4S to your Mac using the iPhone’s USB cable, and then use iTunes to transfer your contacts from to the iPhone. (An alternate way is to use iCloud.)
    I’m not sure what you mean by “transferring email address” from the Mac to the iPhone. But if you mean you want to access your email from the Mac and the iPhone, the best way is to configure your email account over IMAP in Mail on both devices.

  • How do I delete an email address from my icloud account as I am no longer friends with this man

    Hi,
    How do I remove an email address from my icloud account as I am no longer friends with this man and every time i type an s his email address comes up - I want this to stop

    If you haven't already removed the email address from your contacts in cloud, you may want to start there.  If that doesn't work, then you may be out of luck.  Unfortunately, smartphones remember things we don't want them to :-(

  • Changing e-mail address from one BT account to ano...

    Hello,
    I have my own BT account now, and want to take my old e-mail address of 18 years from my Parents BT account to my own. How can I do this pleas?
    Many thanks

    It can be done, but it would need your parent`s permission, as its on their account.
    BT would need to contact your parents to confirm this.

  • How do I remove old e-mail addresses from the Mail Memory?

    I have friends who have changed the e-mail addresses, and quite some time ago also. But everytime I write their name in the address field, it still brings up the old address as an option. And if I'm not paying attention it sends to the old address.
    If there a way to clear the Mail memory so that it won't use old addresses?
    Thanks.

  • What do I do when my iCloud account is not the same as my Apple ID? And I do not have access to the e-mail address that the iCloud account is set-up under.

    How do I get access to the iCloud account to remove/change it on my phone to match my Apple ID?
    iPhone 4, trying to access iCloud
    cannot remember password
    do not have access to the e-mail that the iCloud account is created under
    have an Apple ID, it is a different e-mail than the iCloud account.
    Went to store and the person there tried a number of things. I tried all manners of possible passwords as well.

    Do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.

  • I have changed my apple id email address but i cant change the id address for my icloud account on my iphone? how do i do that?

    i have changed my apple id and password but it hasnt changed on my icloud account and i cant seem to chage it on my iphone. how do i change it from my old email id address to my new one?

    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")
    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.

  • HT4759 How do I transfer my contacts back from my Icloud account to my Iphone

    All my contacts were deleted on my Iphone.  I have them stored on my Icloud account.  When I sign onto my Icloud account they are there but I do NOT know how to 'sync' them from my PC to my IPhone.  How do I do this?

    If your contacts are on icloud.com when you check from your computer, you can sync them to your phone by going to Settings>iCloud, sign into your account and turn Contacts on.

  • How can I clear out old apple mail sent items?

    If I delete them, they just move over to mail trash. If I try to empty the trash it toggles the same mail back to the sent folder?

    Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Mailbox Behaviors - check to see if store sent messages on server is checked. You can also set a delete time there.

  • How can I access documents from multiple iCloud accounts on my iPhone?

    I have a business and a personal life that are both heavily influenced by my Apple products and all stay in sync via iCloud. My only issue is that in order to access both personal and business iwork documents on the go, I have to carry two iphones with me - which really is inconvenient. Of course I could just use the business iphone but then I would not be able to access my family photo stream which is very important to me.
    Any help would be appreciated. I would think that there would be a simple solution to my issue but I need your help finding it.
    Thank you!

    There has to be a better solution than deleting and switching icloud accounts on my iphone each time I need to look at my work documents...
