How do remove wrong username in my iCloud account

It's a bit confusing as there are quite a few levels to the issue.  My son (a minor) and I were both using my itunes account (so he could purchase apps and music on my credit card).  Now that he is older (but still a minor) i created his own itunes account.  My account is Renee and his is Joe.  Somehow, when I created his ITunes account, it is connected to mine in that when I log into my itunes account his name and e-mail is listed as the primary and I can't change it.  As a result an alias was create  with a joe @ me type e-mail. 
I set up the second iTunes account exactly as they told me too (almost 2 years ago)  and had minimal problems until I set up my iCloud account and especially since we swapped computers.   Now we have the following issues all of the time:
1. Our accounts seem to be merged together.
a.  My iPhone keeps trying to add his itunes account to mine to send messages, etc.
b. His contacts keep loading on my phone and worse yet, mine to his (we delete them and they come back)
2.  His e-mail is listed in my Mail e-mail address but is grayed out so I cannot change it. (I can log out and back in and it won't matter because his @me e-mail is somehow associated with my iCloud account.
3.  When we make purchases on either his or my itunes account, he gets the receipts sent to his e-mail.
4.  He cannot download songs on his Macbook Pro nor to his iPhone because it says you cannot use two different itunes accounts on the same computer within 90 days (even though I no longer have that computer authorized)
PLEASE HELP!
Renee

Hello,
The majority of the space that is being used on your iCloud account is being used by the backup of your device. When your device, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage. Turn off any applications that you do not need to have backed up, or turn off backup in general in Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup.

  • How to remove credit card from Apple iCloud account

    I cannot seem to remove my credit card info and it's not one of in good use anymore. But every time I try to install an app it redirects me to login page for payment info page with a "billing" problem due to old credit card on there.

    Hey Slant121,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with the payment information on your account. You should have the option of “None”, however if you do not have this option, please see the following article:
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

  • HT204053 how do i remove photo's from my icloud account

    how do i remove photo's from my icloud account

    If you mean from photo stream, open your My Photo Stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to delete, tap Delete.  This deletes them from photo stream and from any devices syncing with your photo stream.
    If you want to delete them all, you can go to icloud.com, sign into your iCloud account, click on your name at the top, click on Advanced, then tap Reset Photo Stream.

    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")
    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.

  • How to remove wrong apple id

    how to remove wrong apple id

    Remove it or sign out of it? Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap the ID and sign out, then sign in with the correct ID,
    If you are asking this question because you are being asked to provide what you believe is the wrong ID when you are trying to update apps, all purchases are tied to the ID that was used to make the purchase. Therefore, you have to use the same ID and password to update apps that was used to purchase them.

  • How can I transfer "notes" from one icloud account to another, and other account questions

    Hey,
    I currently have 2 icloud accounts. (In total I have 4 seperate apple ids somehow, 1 @me.com, 1 @icloud.com, 1 @gmail.com, and 1 apple id. But that's a problem I'll talk about later).
    Right now, all of my notes got deleted from my iphone, but they are on the icloud account A: (@me.com account's icloud.) When I reconnect this account to my iphone, the notes are there. However, when I turn off note syncing in my iphone's icloud settings, I'm not prompted to "keep data on iphone" (like I am prompted with contacts). Instead, they are just deleted from the iphone. So there's no way to connect the icloud account A, download the data, and reconnect icloud account B.
    How can I get these notes from icloud account A to icloud account B (or just getting it from icloud account A to my iphone.)
    And while I'm at it, how can I get the @icloud account that was linked with the @me.com account to get linked to the @gmail.com account.
    Sorry if this is confusing.

    Let me rephrase my comment...  I used Windows to sync my data without icloud, we decided to switch to mac and purchased a $2000 osx driven machine only to find out apple has "secretly" disabled mobile sync services and replaced it with icloud syncing.  There was NO documentation stating this fact before my purchase, it was only realized when users started running into syncing issues that apple disclosed mavericks no longers uses mobile syncing services and "requires you to use icloud to sync device information" on this forum.
    They removed a integral part of my privacy without telling me, or warning me, before i spent money on non-refundable merchandice.
    These are not mindless, I was forced into mavericks when i purchased a new mac... All other versions of OSX provide modile syncing services.
    And I was not threatening lawsuit, i was stating a thought that this leavs apple open to a lawsuit for people who want their data kept private, they are FORCING the use of icloud now.

  • I registered the wrong information for my iCloud account--I misspelled and now want to change it.  Help is needed to delete the account and start anew.

    I registered the the wrong information for my iCloud account--I misspelled the account name.  I accidentally spelled blackberry instead of blackbird.  How can I change this?

    If you don't want to use an alias you'll have to create a new account as you cannot change the @icloud.com address once created.  You'll have to create a new ID, verify the ID, then use the ID to create the new account, and migrate your iCloud data to the new account.
    If you are currently syncing data with iCloud, begin by saving any photo stream photos to your camera roll as mentioned above.  If you are syncing Notes with iCloud, you'll also need to open each of them and email them to yourself so they can be recreated in the new account.  Finally, if you are syncing any iWork documents with iCloud, turn off iCloud syncing in your iWork app settings.
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then in Settings>iCloud tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom, set up your new ID, verify the email address you use to create it by responding to Apple's verification email, then sign in with the new ID to create your new account.  Turn on your iCloud sync settings and choose Merge when prompted to upload your data to the new account.  When you turn Mail to On you will be prompted to create your new @icloud.com email address.  Be carefull to type it correctly as it cannot later be changed.

  • HT204053 The entire family has used one itunes account for years. How do we all set up separate iCloud accounts now?

    The entire family has used one itunes account for years. How do we all set up separate iCloud accounts now? Or should we? 5 macbooks, 2 ipads, 4 iphones, 2 itouch, 2 imacs.   How does one decide what to sync, share and what not to? Green Jeans.

    You need to start by understanding the distinction between iTunes and iCloud - Apple confuse the issue by referring to 'iTunes Match' as part of iCloud. It isn't.
    You don't have to have the same login (Apple ID) for iTunes and iCloud; many people don't and there's no problem about it.
    Your iCloud ID gets you email, calendars, contacts, iWork documents and PhotoStream syncing between devices.
    Your iTunes ID gets you the iTunes Store, the App Store for iOS, the Mac App Store for OSX,, 'iTunes in the Cloud' (downloading of purchased items to any logged-in device) and 'iTunes Match' (uploading of songs not purchased in the iTunes Store).
    Your family members can easily each get their own iCloud account to keep email etc. separate - in each case they will need a different non-Apple email address (a free one from Yahoo etc. would do) to set up the ID. If they are sharing a Mac they need to be using a separate user account.
    They can have their own iCloud accounts and still all sign into the same iTunes account: or they can open their own iTunes accounts using their new iCloud Apple IDs.
    BUT they cannot transfer items purchased under the present iTunes ID to different iTunes IDs.

  • Due to circumstances I have three iCloud accounts, How can I amalgamate them into one iCloud account?

    Due to circumstances I have three iCloud accounts, How can I amalgamate them into one iCloud account?

    No, unfortunately you cannot merge accounts or transfer any purchased content from one account to another. As I said Apple won't let you do that.

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

  • How do I delete a student's iCloud account from a school iPad?

    My school has iPads that we check out to students. They are all set up with the school's Apple ID. I've had a student set up her iCloud account on one of the iPads using her OLD Apple ID and now can't remember the password to remove it. The only thing set up using the student's appleID is the iCloud account. Is there a way to remove the student's iCloud account from the iPad?
    The only things I'm allowed to select in the iCloud section of settings is the terms and conditions and the delete account. Everything else is unselectable. When i click "terms and conditions" I get the message: unable to connect to server. When I select "delete account" it wants the password that can't be remembered.
    Thanks for your help.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
    If the student can't remember her Apple ID, she'll need to try to recover it, either by this web page:
    https://iforgot.apple.com
    or by calling Apple Support and asking to speak with Account Security. There's no way you can get past the Activation Lock without that student's Apple ID and password. If she can't recover the account and remove the iPad from her iCloud account, you may be able to contact Apple Support and with proof that the school owns the iPad there may be something Apple can do, though I've not confirmed that.
    Regards.
