  • HT204053 I recently changed ny Apple ID but it did not transfer over to my iCloud account. How do I change my iCloud ID? The login popup for iCloud will not go away so I cannot get into my iPad since it pops up as soon as I turn the device on.

    I recently changed my Apple ID but it did not transfer over to my iCloud account. How do I change my iCloud ID? The password for the new Apple ID does not work since the iCloud default user name is imbedded in the login box. The login popup for iCloud will not go away so I cannot get into my iPad since it pops up as soon as I turn the device on and re-occurs every few seconds.

    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, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, 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 iPad 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 iPad 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.

  • HT204053 I have changed my apple ID, but the account info on iCloud is still showing my old ID. How do I change the account name/ID for iCloud?

    I have changed my Apple ID but the account info on iCloud is still referencing the old ID. How do I change the iCloud account details?

    If you simply renamed your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account.  This will delete the account from your phone (but not from iCloud) as well as any synced data.  But provided you are signing back into the same account (just with a new name) it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.  Then set up your iCloud account with the new ID name and turn syncing back on.  If you have photos in your photo stream album that are older than 30 days that you don't have anywhere else, you will need to save these to your camera roll before deleting the account. To do this, open your photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    If, however, you are changing to a new ID you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account.  To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (Be sure to save any photo stream photos to your camera roll prior to deleting the account, as mentioned above.)  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.

    How do I change the iCloud password  I did update and change my Apple ID but it did not change the iCloud?

    To change the iCloud ID 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, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current 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.

  • I've changed my apple ID, but it did not update on my Icloud acct.

    I've changed my Apple ID and it did not update in my I cloud account. How can I merge this info between the two entities?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Do you mean you changed the email associated with your ID or you've created a new ID.

  • HT5621 I changed my Apple ID, but it will not let me change it on my phone. How do I change it on my phone. I alreadt tried to delete the account but to do that I need to put in my password, but it wont work because its the wrong email.

    I am trying to change my Apple ID under icloud on my phone, but it will not let me do it, I have already tried to delete the account, but I cannot do that becuase it wants me to put in a password that I do not have. What can I d0? I am also going next week to pick up my new phone so I need to fix it soon.

    Hello there, hcheslynn.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides a great resource for what to do next after changing your Apple ID:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    Particularly for your case:
    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
    If you still get prompted for your old Apple ID's password, the following article provides some additional troubleshooting steps:

  • I changed my apple id but it will not allow us to update our apps on 2nd iphone and ipad. What can we do to fix/

    I changed my apple id due to our email address changing. The new apple id works fine on my iphone but my wife cannot update apps on either her iphone 5 or ipad. It keeps asking for the password to the apple id we no longer use. What are solutions?

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of the account on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6+) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it - and similarly with the iPhone.

  • When I try and change my Apple ID email address to my Me account email, it won't let me. I want to change it so it goes through my Me email. How do I do this?

    Hey guys,
    So basically as the question above says...
    I have had an Apple ID for a few years now under a Hotmail email. Recently I got a Me account and I want to change my primary email address on my Apple ID to this new Me email address as I no longer use the Hotmail email.
    However, when I try and change it, it simply states "This domain name is reserved for MobileMe accounts."
    Could really use the help, and I thank people in advance for any advice!

  • TS3988 I need to change my Apple ID on my iCloud. I changed my Apple ID but it would not let me change my iCloud one.  How do I change it?

    I have a new email address and want to change my Apple ID which I did manage to do but it won't let me change my iCloud email address.  How do I do this because every time I open up my phone or ipad I get a message asking me to log in to iCloud.  Had to change my email address for Apple ID back to old one to stop this happening.  Need to get them changed as no longer using old email.
    Thank you for any advice.

    You need to log out of iCloud on all your devices, and before doing this you must turn off 'Find My iPhone/iMac/iPad' if it's enabled anywhere. Then change your ID, and then sign back in with the new ID on the devices.

  • HT204291 I can connect to the apple TV but I am not getting display only sound with my IMAC mid 2011 and MAC Air 2012 both with Mountain Lion OS

    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion after purchasing Apple TV yesterday from Best Buy.
    I have signed in on the same wi-fi network (comcast 30mbps)
    I was able to see photos from my wifes Iphone but not my IMac or Mac Air
    Both computers connect but I am only getting audio.
    I updated software on Apple TV
    I shut everything down and reset my router. My Mac Air 13" 2012 was able to see the desk top but not anything that I was doing and then it disconnected.
    I also tested the internet speed on the Apple TV but it just told me it was finished. (no results)

    WEP as a security measure is laughable nowadays. Even a kindergarten kid with a netbook can crack the password in a few minutes. Try using WPA2 if available on the device. And the Macs will be quite happy connecting with that protocol.

  • Apple keeps saying they will be sending a verification email (so i can verify my apple id), but i'm not receiving any. what do i do? pls help.

    Hi irismla,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you are not receiving a verification email. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
