How do I update my Apple ID so I can use iCloud?

I cannot use my iPad because it needs to back up to iCloud, but I cannot log into iCloud on my PC because my Apple ID does not work.  Not sure how to fix this cycle.

  • I have two ipads with the same apple id but my 3 year old uses one of them, how do i update hers witht he apps she can use instead of everything that is on min as well?

    I have two ipads using the same apple id.  My 3 year old uses one to play learning games.  How do I set them up so my apps arent displayed on her ipad?

    When you connect that iPad to iTUnes, go to the summary page and scroll down, there should be a box saying 'automatically update' or something to that effect. De select that.
    With automatically update on, what you buy on one goes onto the other. but with that box off you can choose.
    On the iPad itself, it's under
    Settings
    iTUnes and App Stores
    and then you can choose what you want automatically updated between the two devices.

  • HT5621 I've changed my AppleID because I had to change my email address. But I keep getting asked about my old AppleID because I can back up on iCloud with my new AID or the old one. How do I delete this old ID so I can use iCloud with my new ID

    As explained above, my system keeps asking me to fix my iCloud preferences for my old and new AppleID since it's not backing up my files. I don't have access to my old email address and don't have my password for my old AID. How can I delete this and correct my iCloud ID issues? Thanks in advance. By the way, the Apple support articles don't cover this problem in a way that allows me to fix it. This problem exists on my Mac desktop, my iPad, and my

  • HT5624 How do I update my Apple ID on iPad and iPhone after changing it?

    How do I update my Apple ID email address on iPhone and iPad after changing the email but not password.  I have verified my new email on iPhone iPad and iMac but settings on all for iCloud still show my old email address. I can't use anything now that needs my Apple ID

    Hello there, Chivs86.
    From what it sounds like you are wanting to sign out of iCloud with the "old" ID and sign in with the new. The following Knowledge Base article should help you with that issue:
    iCloud: Features that work with one account at a time on iOS 5 and OS X Lion or later
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4020
    Specifically:
    To change a secondary account to a primary account
    iOS 5 or later:
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Delete the secondary account.
    Tap the Back button.
    Tap iCloud.
    Delete the primary account.
    Add the secondary account that you want to be your primary account.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro D.

  • How do i update my apple iPod to iOS 6.0

    how do i update my apple ipod to ios 6.0?

    If Software Update on your iPod is telling you that iOS is up to date, then you probably have a 3rd-generation iPod touch for which iOS 5.1.1 is the last version it can run. You can confirm your model of iPod here:

  • HT204053 How do I update my Apple ID on my iPad as it has the old apple ID?

    How do I update my Apple ID on my iPad as it has the old apple ID?

    If you want to change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPad, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your 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.  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 iPad, 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.

  • TS2518 how do I update my Aperture 3? I can't find where to download it.

    how do I update my Aperture 3? I can't find where to download it?

    What is your current Aperture version? And how did you buy Aperture originally?
    If you bought it from the App Store, you should see it in the "Updates" tab of the App Store window; if you bought it differently use "Software Update" from the "Apple" menu.
    Software update will only work, if Aperture is installed in the Applications folder, not a subfolder of this folder, and if it has not been renamed. It must simply be called "Aperture".

  • How can I buy it on my Apple ID so I can use Recovery to put my MBP to function once again? Help D=

    My MBP just failed, bought it from a friend and dont have an Apple ID with Lion, Lion is no longer on the App Store so, how can I buy it on my Apple ID so I can use Recovery to put my MBP to function once again? Help D=
    Or what else could I do? I don´t have any USB to reinstall the OS and my DVD Unit is death, but it seems I can reinstall over Wi-Fi if Im able to link an OS X Lion license to my Apple ID

    You would need to call Apple Sales (USA 1-800-MY-APPLE) and purchase a redemption code for Lion.

    In order to use your Apple ID to create an iCloud account, the primary email address associated with the ID must first be verified.  To do this, Apple will send a verification email to your account and you must respond to the email by clicking the Verify Now link.  Make sure you are check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.
