How to update apple ID in iCloud settings

Apple ID is greyed out, how to update apple ID in settings for iCloud on iPad mini?

If you want to move to a new, separate iCloud account you have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account.  Deleting the account will only delete it from your phone, not from iCloud.  This will not effect other devices still using the account.  Also, you can continue to share your ID for the iTunes and App stores even though you will have a different ID for iCloud.  They do not need to be the same.
To begin, 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 My iPhone.  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.
Finally, if you have any data in either iCloud account that you no longer want (such as someone else's contacts) you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete it.

    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.

  • HT5621 Updated Apple ID- the iCloud is still autopopulating my other ID email address and I can't change it from my iCloud, iPhone or anything.

    Updated Apple ID- the iCloud is still autopopulating my other ID email address and I can't change it from my iCloud, iPhone or anything. I've updated my Apple ID through my PC, and iTunes Store, but it will not populate and I am losing my mind. This is ridiculously frustrating

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  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. 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.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • HT1420 How to make Apple ID and iCloud the same Id?

    How to make Apple ID and iCloud ID the same after they have been created?
    iTunes keeps asking for ID and passwords that were created differently.

    You can't im afraid. I wanted to do the same and got the following from Apple:
    I am sorry, you cannot update your email address to MobileMe address as each Apple ID is unique.
    Ross, I would like to let you know that, you cannot change your Apple ID if it was at any time a .Mac or MobileMe email address, even if your subscription has ended or been canceled.
    The email address that ends in .me is already an Apple ID as well, as when you set up a MobileMe email its automatically set up as an Apple ID. So you cannot use this email address on another account. It is permanently associated with your MobileMe Apple ID.
    This article provides helpful information when choosing which Apple ID to use with iCloud:

    This page also covers topics such as moving MobileMe accounts to iCloud, managing your Apple ID, and how to get content purchased with multiple Apple IDs onto your iOS device.
    I hope this information was helpful. If you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reply to this email and I will be more than happy to assist you further.

  • HT1600 Apple TV update unsuccessful, how to update Apple TV software

    Apple TV update unsuccessful, how to update Apple TV software

    Hi (Bonjour)!
    Same problem here, the Apple TV 3rd gen. has suggested an update, but despite the complete download, the process failed on the second step(progress bar) and I've got an "connect to iTune with micro USB cable" splash screen, no white LED on ATV.
    I've connected the ATV unit to my "up to date for all soft" 2013 iMac, and I've got the restore Apple TV dialog. The download completes, but the update process failed with an "1611 error" warning. It seems that his error is related to virus protection software. But... I do not use any virus protection software... so I can't apply any suggested workaround to solve the problem.
    I've now a dead box Apple TV.
    Bad, bad move when selecting "apply update" on a pretty usable ATV.

  • How to change apple id for icloud?

    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.
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    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 can I change the Apple ID on icloud?

    If you're asking how to change the iCloud ID on your device, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (If you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.

  • HT201274 how to change apple id in icloud?

    hello everyone!
                       i have purchased a used iphone 5 which already contains an apple id for icloud. but i want to remove it and enter my apple id so how could i do that?

    Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  Then log in using a different ID.
    If, however, in doing this, you are asked to enter the password of the "other" ID, then you will have no choice but to contact the previous owner and have them enter the password to allow deleting the account.  This is part of the new security features in iOS 7 that prevents thieves from wiping a device and then selling it.

  • Changing Apple ID under iCloud settings

    On my iPad, I need to change the Account (Apple ID) under iCloud but it does not allow me. This iPad now belongs to my wife who has her own Apple ID.
    Currently when I sign in in iCloud.com with her account and go to "Find my iPad" it shows the name of the iPad OK but as Offline.
    Tks, a lot

    To change the iCloud account you have to delete the account, then create a new account (or sign in to an alternate existing account) on the iPad.  However, if you need to migrate existing data on the iPad to this alternate account, start by going to Settings>iCloud, then turn off all synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.).  When prompted, choose to keep the data on the iPad.  When everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up the new iCloud account and turn iCloud syncing back On (which will upload the data to the new account).  If prompted, choose Merge.
