How to change my ICloud account in ipad

I deleted an ICloud account from IPad, and entered new account ID. Got email to verify account(ID) and completed process. An email then confirmed that verification was completed. But the ICloud work page in Settings continues to ask for verification, and when trying to turn ICloud on it has continued for two days to indicate is "processing". All the applications under ICloud cannot be turned on either. Pls welcome suggestions

If you haven't created another Apple ID, don't do it yet.
Why do you want to create a new ID? Do you know that apps and anything that you purchase with an Apple ID will always be tied to that ID and you cannot transfer purchases to a new ID. You will always need to use that ID in order to update apps or to download previous purchases made with that ID.
You can change an Apple ID if you get a new email address. That will simply change the username of the Apple ID to the new email address, but that is different than creating an entirely new ID.

  • 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 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 can I change my iCloud account on ipad

    Hi,
    I have account xxx setup on my ipad, which I now want to change to account YYY (different iCloud account).
    How can I do this without loosing any purchases?
    Cheers.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    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.

  • Anybody can tell me how to access my iCloud account from iPad ?

    When trying to access iCloud account with safari, I do not have the window where I input name and password as in explorer . Anybody knows how to solve this problem? Is not possible at all? If so, it is not true hat you can use iPad without any computer at all

    Well, the complete icloud.com website should be accessible from both Computer and iOS devices
    There are many things you can do only in the web interface as:
    - set up holiday message
    - reset photostream
    - share calendars
    - setup auto-forward
    - manage aliases
    - manage rules
    - manage email folders
    iOS devices claim they will replace home computers but it is still far from reality
    My guess is that Apple is trying to progressively integrate its online services in "packaged" applications and eliminate usage of web browsers that are difficult to trace and to control

  • HT204053 Anyone have issues changing their iCloud account on their ipad?

    I read how to change the iCloud account on the iPad but when I go to do it' it only lets me select the password and iPad name. When we got this iPad it was put under my husband's iTunes and iCloud account. Now I have my own iPhone with an iCloud and he has his own iPad and I would like to associate my iPad with my phone's iCloud but keep his iTunes account since that is where we purchase everything.  So can anyone help?
    Thanks!

  • How do i change the icloud account on my iphone to a different existing account

    I have a business iPhone 5S on which the iTunes account is associated with the Apple ID I signed up for using my business e-mail. I signed in to iCloud with a personal Apple ID account to get some of my personal music onto the device. I have been trying to find out how to change the iCloud account to my business Apple ID. I'd like to be able to switch back and forth if I want. I have read several posts that advise deleting the iCloud account, but I still have personal devices I would like to continue to use with this Apple ID and iCloud account. The extent of the deletion is not addressed.
    If I use the delete account under iCloud, does that delete it from the device, or does it delete it permanently? Tried adding my business email to the iCloud account, but it won't let me because it is associated with another Apple ID (duh). Am I stuck here?
    iPhone 5S, iOS 8.1 - just updated.
    The only option under iCloud is "Sign Out"

    Deleting an iCloud account only deletes it from the Device, not from iCloud.  In iOS 8, the name of this setting changed to "Sign Out" as that is a better reflection of what actually happens.  Your iCloud data remains on the server, available to devices still signed into the account, but the device you sign out of the account on is disconnected from the account, and as a result, the iCloud data from that account is removed from the device.  It will redownload to the device should you sign back into the account.
    The only issue you'll run into when you switch between accounts is with my photo stream photos older than 30 days.  When you delete (or sign out of) and account, your photo stream photos are deleted along with the other data from the account in question.  However, unlike other data which remains on the server and can redownload to your device when you sign back in, my photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.  When you sign back in, you will only get back my photo stream photos added in the last 30 days (as older photos are no longer in iCloud to redownload).  Like other account data, any my photo stream photos on your other devices signed into the account are unaffected by this.  If you want to keep older my photo stream photos on your device as you change iCloud accounts, save them to your camera roll before deleting (signing out of) the account.

  • How do I change an iCloud account on an iPad?

    My iPhone and iPad use 2 distinct iCloud accounts, as a by product of the mobile me exit. Now I want to sync these 2 devices, so they need to use the same iCloud account. When I start to change the iPad account, I receive a dire warning that all data in iCloud and the iPad will be lost if I proceed.
    Is the warning untrue, or am I misreading it, or am i going about this incorrectly? How should one change the iCloud account on an iPad to another existing iCloud account? Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    It does delete it from you iPad but not from the iCloud account.  If you want to migrate the data to a different iCloud account first go to Settings>iCloud on your iPad and turn all synced data to Off, when prompted choose to keep the data on your iPad.  When everything is turned off you can scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up the other iCloud account on your iPad and turn syncing back on for contacts, calendars, etc. When prompted choose merge to upload the data and merge it with any data on this account.

  • How do I change my icloud account on my ipad?

    I need to change my icloud account on my ipad without losing any data or  photos. How do I do this? At present my ipad is backed up to my ex partners icloud account, can he access my ipad remotely?

    Only speaking of backup and not information that you sync/stream to his icloud.
    Depending on maliciousness of his intent and determination he/she can know nothing or everything. By everything I mean that he/she can restore his/her ipad from your backup.
    In one hour of time he/she would have access to device that would be exact mirror of what you had in your hands at time of backup. With some luck he would know as much as you do looking at your ipad right now. If you using icloud keychain he/she would have access to your credit card numbers.
    Not speaking about backup anymore.
    If he/she wants your device can be wiped at any time, as long as he/she is still signed in. He can also enable lost mode on icloud website and then even if you have paperwork that ipad belongs to you, nobody can help you to use ipad. (that is if you use ios 7). Good luck.

  • My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

    My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

    You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
    Hope I can help!

  • HT2623 how do i delete icloud account on my ipad when my apple ID is non active email and i don't know the password and can't reset password without active email

    how do i delete icloud account on my ipad when my apple ID is non active email and i don't know the password and can't reset password without active email

    If the iCloud account you are trying to delete is old ID that was later updated to change it to your current ID, you can 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 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, if desired, you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
