How do you change the apple ID on iCloud?

I recently updated my apple ID and password. However, my iCloud on my MacBook Pro and my iPhone 4S don't recognize that either have changed, so I keep getting locked out of my iCloud. Even when presented with my original apple ID and typing in the password for that ID, I still get locked out. I keep getting suggested to "Manage Account", but it wants me to change my password. So, my question essentially is, how do I change my apple ID in iCloud on my MacBook Pro? I have the OS X 10.9.5 operating system. I've tried searching other troubleshooting methods with no success.

You have to sign out completely and then sign back in on all your devices.
On a Mac, System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign Out'
On an iOS device, Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete Account' (this will not delete the account from the server).

    How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4. I am able to access my iTunes account using my new ID and password on my computer; however, my iphone has a different Apple ID and I do not have cannot access iTunes on this phone. 

    Also, if you have iCloud, you will probably also want to change the iCloud account on the phone to be yours:
    Settings>iCloud - if Account is not yours, go to the bottom and Delete Account. Then sign back on with your iCloud account info.
    Cheers,

    How do you change the apple id on an IPAD if you want to gift it to someone else?

    to make it simple on you and the recipient follow this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661
    if you just want to change the apple id sign out in settings>icloud, settings>messages>send and recieve, settings>facetime, and settings>itunes and app store. Then sign into all of these locations with new apple id. ONLY PROBLEM WHEN DOING THIS WAY is when apps left on device from your apple id need updated they will require your apple id and password

    You can't simply change the details.
    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)

    When you go into iCloud there is an option to delete the account.  The help desk advised me that using this option only deletes it on the phone and not the actual Apple ID.  If you delete it you are given an option to keep content associated with this ID on the phone, which may be a good idea unless you want to completely refresh your phone.
    Once you delete the account, you can then enter a new Apple ID.
    I've just done it and it worked fine, leaving the original Apple ID intact and working on another phone.

  • How do you change the apple id on an ipad2

    when i initally set up our ipad's i used the same email address on the ipads. How do I change the apple id on one ipad?

    Go to Settings > Store and tap on the current ID. Sign out of that one and then sign in with the new one. If you downloaded any apps under the first ID, you will have to go back to settings - sign out of the current ID and then sign back in with the old ID or you will not be able to update those apps.

  • How do you change your Apple-ID in iCloud on iPhone-4S

    How can I change my Apple-ID in iCloud on iPhone-4S to my new Apple-ID? I do not know the password for the old Apple-ID that is iin iCloud

    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.

  • How do you change the Apple ID displayed on an iPhone to the correct one?

    I managed to change the Apple ID on all my devices except my wife's iPhone. When it tries to access the iCloud it still asks for out old Apple ID and I can't figure out how to change it. Any advice?

    Go to Settings, iTunes & App Stores, click on the Apple ID. Sign out. Click again and sign in with your Apple ID.
    Is it possible that this someone in your contact list had the phone and downloaded an app for you?

  • How do you change the apple id associated with an ipod?

    Have an apple ipod touch and just got an ipad.  want to link them; however, the apple id that is used on the ipod is also being used by another ipod.  I have a separate id for the ipad.  How can I change the one ipod to match the ipad?

    Yu do not need seperate Apple iD for different iDevices.  ITunes purchases are locked to the Apple iD?iTunes account that purchased them.  You can go to Settings>Store and log out of one account and log into another.
    As long as the two iPod have different names iTunes can tell them apart.. ALs see:

  • How do you change the Apple ID associated with an iOS device?

    So…I made the mistake of putting the wrong Apple ID (I have three – don't ask) on my iOS devices. If I try to change the Apple ID on my Mac, it wants to erase everything that I have on my Mac that is also stored on the iCloud. That is not a good solution. So, I want to change the Apple ID associated with my iOS devices (far less to lose there). The problem is that niether of my iOS devices will let me change the Apple ID associated with them – at least not that I can find.
    Does anyone know how to do that so I can get my Mac on the same page with my iPhone/iPad?
    Thanks.

    This is the kind of question where it helps to know what you are trying to achieve since the way you phrased the question has several interpretations.  CarolynSamit gave you one, here's another two:
    Apple ID Support - http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/  -> Apple ID FAQ http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37
    "How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
        You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Select your country and language, enter your desired changes, then click the Continue button. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See How to change the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information."
    How to change the name you use for your Apple ID - http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40
    Another answer is you cannot.  Items purchased with one AppleID cannot be transferred to a different account.

  • How do you change the apple id on an iphone

    I linked my father's iphone to my computer, and now when he goes to buy apps its all linked to my apple id.  Does anyone know how to change the apple id so its not linked to me anymore? 

    You can use this article to view instrcutions on how to change personal information on an Apple ID; but you'd probably be better off keeping your Apple ID and logging your father off your account from his iPhone and then creating a new one for him.
    How to change the name you use for your Apple ID.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40
    Or... I suppose you can change all the information and you can create a new Apple ID, either way though he won't be able to access the Apps he bought on your ID if he get's a new one. Or your father keeps your Apple ID and you create a new one, you won't be able to purchase any thing you had previously bought on that original Apple ID.

  • HOw do you change the Apple Password ro several Apple devices wit the same user name?

    I am trying to change the Apple password for four Apple devices, including an iPhone, iPad, iMac Air, and Desktop MAC.  The iPhone password is corrupted so it is interfering with the synching of the four devices on the iCloud.  I want to reset the password for all four devices and get them so they will synch with each other as well as the iCloud.

  • HT204088 how do you change the apple id on an iphone

    I am trying to update my personal info. connected with my Itunes account, apple Id, etc. but cannot seem to change the Apple ID on my Iphone.

    You can log out of the currently logged in account on the phone by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and you can then log in with a different account (though all of the iTunes downloads on the phone will remain tied to the account that downloaded it) - if you've updated your existing account then logging out and back in should 'refresh' the account on it.
