    How do I delete my existing iCloud account (across ALL my apple devices), and start over from scratch??
    (cant seem to get calendars to ever sync right, on my devices, and across to my wifes'....so want to start with a "clean installation")

    Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices).
    If you then want to sign back in using a different ID, do so on the same screen.
    I also strongly suggest that you and your wife use different icloud accounts, otherwise all your devices will have the same data on them, same emails, reminders, etc.  Most likely not what you want.

    Need to change my Apple ID to a gmail address in preparation for a move outside the US.  When I did this, it did not change in iCloud and I have not been able to determine how to change this ID in iCloud for either my Mac or iPad?  I had to revert to my old ID which will not be any good in a few weeks.  Does anyone know how to make the iCloud settings changes?

  • 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 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 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.

    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.

  • HT204053 How to change apple Id on iCloud

    I had my phone stolen so I ad to change my iTunes I'd. How do I do that with iCloud?

    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 > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

    How do you change the old Apple ID username and password to the updated username and password in order to get updated apps from the app store?

    Do you mean you kept the same account but you only updated your AppleID?
    Just log out and log back in with new ID.
    Note that the AppleID is embedded into the item at purchase and cannot be changed.
    However, when you change your AppleID, it will link the old account name to the new account name so you will not have any problems updating apps using the new AppleID.

    Have tried to change mobile me to icloud a few times. On my mac os x 10.6.8. is still mobile me on it. How can I exchange it?

    You will have to upgrade to (at least) Lion, 10.7.5, better would be to upgrade to Mavericks if your Mac can support it.
    To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
    MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac also needs:
    OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
    2 GB or more of memory
    8 GB or more of available space

    How do I change the AppleID on ICloud on an Imac? If I choose System Preferences > ICloud > Account details  I can only digit the Name and Descriuption  but I do not know how to change the ID....

    You mean you've changed the (non-Apple) email address which forms your ID and hence your login? You will need to sign out in System Preferences>iCloud and sign back in again, re-enabling the various data types you want to sync in the checklist there.
