How to change account name for iCloud on ipad

Hi,
Recently needed to change my apple I.d.  It seems to have messed up my iCloud account.  When I go to update the iCloud info in my settings on my iPad, it shows the previous apple I.d. As the iCloud account name...  But, there doesn't appear to be a way to change it here.  Can anyone tell me what to do?
.thanks

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.

    how to change apple id for icloud?

    From the knowledgeable Roger Wilmut:
    You can't change the primary email address, the one you created when you opened an iCloud account (or if you migrated from MobileMe the address you log in with) other than by opening a completely new account.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
    However you can create three 'email aliases' - these are extra addresses, not accounts, which deliver into the same inbox as the main address.

    It's actually quite a good idea to give out an alias address rather than the main one, since these can be easily changed should you get spammed.

  • My account names for iCloud and iTunes is different, is this why my Iphone4 is not syncing with my iMac?

    My account names for iCloud and iTunes is different, is this why my Iphone4 is not syncing with my iMac?

    No, perfectly normal to have a separate iTunes account for music/app purchases to the one you use for iCloud syncing of contacts, notes, etc.

  • How to change "Full Name" in iCloud IMAP mail account information

    Brand new to this forum so please excuse any newbieisms. I am running OS X 10.7.5 I created an iCloud IMAP mail account so that I can sync with my iPhone.
    Windows Live is my original mail account. All is good except the "Full Name" in "Accounts" preferernces is somehow incorrect. When I send mail frm my Mac, this incorrect name shows in the "From" field. Mail sent from my iPhone shows my correct name as it appears in my phone cloud settings. The name doesn't sync in iCloud. All other syncing is good. When I try to change it manually in my Mac mail preferences, I get the message "the"Incoming Mail Server" field can not be empty" when I try to save the changes. The aforementioned field is not empty and is in fact greyed out as this was self populated upon creation of the account. I can't even change the case sensitivity of the name or I get the message. As a stop gap I have created an alias to send mail with, but would like a proper fix. Any ideas?

    If you created a new iCloud account it would have a new associated iCloud email account.  You wouldn't be able to move your current @icloud.com address to the new account.
    Just to double-check, after quitting (Command-Q) and re-opening Mail, did you start an new message and click the down-arrow next to From to see if the new sender name was available from the drop-down list (see image below)?  If so, you might try signing out of iCloud entirely.  To do this, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then sign back in and test Mail again.  (This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud.  Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

  • How do I change Account ID for iCloud

    In my iCloud Settings on my iPhone 5, the Account shown is an old email ID and does not reflect my current Apple ID; however, I'm unable to edit the Apple ID -- just the iCloud Account Information.
    Suggestions?
    Note: I downloaded a song on my Mac, but it's not appearing on my iPhone 5.

    To change the iCloud ID on your phone go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your phone but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
    However, if you are changing to a new account (rather than signing back into a renamed account), be sure to choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  After you sign into the new account and turn your data syncing on choose Merge to upload the data to the new account.
    Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll if not already there (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).  If you are changing to a new account you'll also have to email any synced notes to yourself so you can recreate them after changing accounts.

  • How to change file names for .icc profiles in CS4?

    I recently downloaded several photo paper profiles to my Mac (OS 10.5.8) and installed them in the Library > ColorSync > Profiles folder. I edited the rather cryptic file names slightly so I could better determine which paper each profile was for.
    But when I check the drop-down list of profiles available in the Print dialogue for CS4, the file names are still the original ones that were initially downloaded. I rebooted my OS and relaunched PS, but no change.
    Are these .icc files being kept somewhere else on my System HD by PS? Is this not a good thing to even try doing, or can I just change the .icc  file names in the location that PS is accessing them? Thanks.

    Thanks Chris and c. Under Description I'm presented with three Names for the profile: ASCII, UniCode and Mac Script. ASCII and Mac Script are the same name for the profile, with nothing being in the UniCode Name box. Which do I change -- both?
    Am I going to screw things up in Photoshop if I change these names to something I can comprehend? Looks like I may just have to make a sticky-note list of the cryptic profile names with my own descriptive name as a reference. Thanks.

  • Change apple ID for iCloud on iPad

    I need to change the Apple ID for iCloud on my iPhone 5 and my iPad 2. I can clear the password but it doesn't give me am option to clear the Apple ID under Settings>iCloud Account Information.

    Hi Friend,
    Delete the account (in Settings>iCloud), then set up a new account using her ID.  If you need to migrate any iCloud data to the new account, be sure to choose "Keep on My iDevice" when prompted about what to do with the iCloud data; then when setting up the new account, to merge the data with the new account be sure to choose Merge.
    Hope it helps
