How to change Apple ID account on iPhone

I changed my apple id on the apple website, and I try deleting the old account in my settings to set up the new one, but it requires a password. I enter my password but it doesn't work, and the screen says apple id or password is incorrect. the apple id is incorrect but I don't know how to change it on my phone..?

You may have to go into settings of your phone and delete icloud account. Just make sure you respond to prompts by keeping information on the phone. Once it is done, just sign in with new id.

  • How to change apple user name on iPhone?

    I've changed my Apple user name online but can't figure out how to change it on my iphone to sync.

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.  You will always be asked for the password associated with this ID when updating apps, regardless of whether or not you are using this ID for current purchases.  The only way to stop this is to delete the old apps from your phone and iTunes and repurchase them with your current ID.
    Edit: to change the ID used for future purchases on your phone, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the new ID.  As explained above, you will still be prompted with the old ID when updating apps purchase with the older ID.

  • How to change Apple ID account

    I bought a used iPad from a friend. I want to change the Apple ID for using iCloud.  It doesn't 'light up' on settings. I've managed to use my Apple ID on most apps, etc. I don't have his password and he is now deceased. How can I do this? Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's something that you will need the next of kin to contact AppleCare, about. I'm not sure what the procedure will be but I'm sure they will tell them.

  • Question on iCloud accts:  I have my iPhone and iPad on one account, but my Mac is set up on my old mobile me acct.  Can't figure out how to change an iCloud account number on my Mac so I can sync all three.

    Question on iCloud accounts:  I have my iPhone and iPad on one iCloud account, but my Mac is on my old Mobile me account.  Can't figure out how to change my iCloud account on my MacBook Pro so all 3 are synced.

    First, open System Preferences > MobileMe and log out. Then, open  > About this Mac and see Version. If you see 10.5.x or 10.6.x, see > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If your Mac is compatible, upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and purchase OS X Mountain Lion.
    When you have upgraded, go to System Preferences > iCloud and follow its steps

    How to change apple id in iCloud

    If the old ID is your ID, 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 iPhone on your device, 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.  Then 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 to change apple id on iPhone. Wife and I have same apple ID.  Get each others iMessages. want to put her on another cloud with different id.

    How to change apple id on iPhone? Wife and I have same apple ID which causes me to get her iMessages instead of her. I also get all her pics on my phone and I don't want them.  We need to change her apple ID without causing my ID and cloud to be closed.

    Have her create a new ID.   Here:  https://appleid.apple.com/
    Have her log out of iMessage/Facetime/iCloud on her device.   Now have her use the new ID she has created.
    That should keep the 2 of you separated, except for iTunes purchases.   You can share that ID in a family up to 5 devices.

  • How to change my iCloud account with only access to the Apple ID

    Hello everyone
    Im using my previous company ipad and i dont have access to the registered iCould account.
    How to change my icloud account to a new email account that i own.
    I have access to the Apple ID Account but i dont have access to the iCloud account in it.
    The Security Question was made by the tech admin of the company not by me, so not even that way its possible.
    Thank You in advance,
    Frederico

    I wish Apple improves this Security measures so that it lets remove features with both logins, Apple or iCloud credentials.
    Also the iCloud needs improvements, it should use the Apple ID not some other different login. The email part of icloud should be in iCloud but most people don't use iCloud mail so the rest of the features should be in the same email credentials as Apple ID.
    This way im not sure if i take the risk on Restoring the iPad, i could end up beeing locked out of my own device.
    All this hierarchic credentials are confusing. I would only need the Apple ID that is being used on the iPad to clean it up or turn off options like iCloud account currently on the device.

    How to change credit card account for purchasing

    On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment details link.  If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account  - that should also give you a payment details link on your account's page.

  • How to change Apple id in iCloud @ device

    I have sucessfully changed my Apple ID thru the Apple ID website and iTunes etc. However, my iPhone's iCloud account information still shows the old Apple ID which I tried but unable to edit it although I had successfully changed to the new Apple ID at iCloud's website. Please advise how to change Apple ID in iCloud's settings in iPhone itself.

    It worked for me too!  Thanks!  I was very frustrated!

  • How to change apple id on iphone4

    i want to change apple id on the iphone 4. how to make this update?

    Yes, you can change it without "resetting" your phone.  To change the ID:
    For iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
    For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
    For Purchasing, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Stores (Settings>Store in iOS 5).
    For iCloud, you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account.  Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them.  To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On [iDevice].  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
