HT204053 Cannot Change Apple ID in iCloud Account

In the iCloud Account Info on my iPad Mini the Apple ID is fixed as [email protected] and I cannot change it. What can I do?

I'm not sure how I missed this but there's a red bar at the bottom of the page: "Delete Account". Doh!

  • How do I change Apple ID for iCloud account?

    I changed Apple ID online because my email address changed. How can I change Apple ID for iCloud?

    If you renamed your iCloud ID and need to change it on your device, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • HT204053 change Apple ID in iCloud 'Account' settings on PC

    In iCloud on my PC, my 'Account' window shows my daughter's iCloud email address as the Apple ID when it should be MY Apple ID - all of my contacts/info is there, and it says my name at the top right of the screen, so while I'm not sure that it matters that the wrong Apple ID appears, I'd like to change it to mine as it should be.  Thanks!

    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.

  • HT204053 how do i change apple id in iCloud account info on iphone

    I've been trying to just USE my iCloud (on my iPhone), but its not allowing me because my Apple ID is not updated.  I have already updated my e-mail on the iCloud website as well as on my Mac, but it's not allowing me to change it DIRECTLY on my iPhone.  It wont even give me the option to change/ update e-mail info; just my password.  I don't want this Feature to be entirely useless.  Is there anyone that has this problem?  Figured out WAYS to fix it?  Thanx guys.

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

  • HT204074 Cannot change apple ID for icloud on my iphone

    Was able to change it every where else. The email with the old apple ID is gone and I can't reset the password, so how do I remove the old apple ID?

    To change the account ID:
    https://appleid.apple.com
    To change to a different, existing, account on a device:
    Settings>iCloud, scroll to bottom of page and tap Delete Account.  This disconnects the account from the device, it does not delete data.  Then log in with the other ID.

  • HT204053 How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.

    How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.

    Settings-icloud-scroll to the bottom, select delete, if you want to keep the content select keep, otherwise it'll remove it. Then once it is done add the account information for the account you want on that phone.  Your apple ID in settings-store will remain the same and each device can still purchase/use content from that account.

  • I have changed my apple-id but I cannot change it on my iCloud

    I have changed my apple-id but I cannot change it on my iCloud so it still comes up with the old apple-id and asks for the old password. Problem is that the old apple-id is an e-mail account that is closed so I cannot get the information sent on the old account. I can access the iCloud account on my mac but not through iTunes so I cannot retrieve old information or activate Find my iPhone.
    When I try to delete my iCloud account on my iPhone it comes up with my old apple-id and will not accept my old password so I cannot delete the iCloud account.
    It is driving me crazy. Any ideas?

    Same thing happened to me, m still searching the solution, plz let me kno too if u find any wayout.
    If the old ID is yours, and if your current 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 iDevice, 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.  When finished 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.

    You can't delete an iCloud account.
    Once it is attached to an AppleID it is attached forever.
    You can edit the name on your iCloud account or setup an email alias if you made a mistake with the email address.
