I changed my apple id and now I can't change my iCloud id, and can't access iCloud because my apple id is changed. How do I chang my id in iCloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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)

How do you change your Apple ID for icloud?

I have had one email address as my Apple ID for App store, itunes and icloud for all my devices (MacBook pro, iMac, iPhone4 and iPad2). Recently I changed nettwork/internett operators and now I have big problems with my icloud. My old email address and password has been shut down, and I had to create a new adress and password. I successfully change my Apple ID and password for itunes and App store, but I can't change my Apple ID for icloud. I am told that if I want to close down my icloud account on my MacBook Pro data will be lost. (I have stored my documents on icloud too) I keep getting a popup on my screen saying there is a problem with my Apple ID (the old email address) and that I should fill in my password. If I fill in the password for this icloud ID (also my old Apple ID for App store and itunes, I keep getting the message that it is invalid. How do I get into icloud to manage and edit the Apple ID for icloud so that it works on my mac and all the other devices I have?

How do you change your Apple-ID in iCloud on iPhone-4S

How can I change my Apple-ID in iCloud on iPhone-4S to my new Apple-ID? I do not know the password for the old Apple-ID that is iin iCloud

If the old ID is yours, 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 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.

How do you change your Apple ID in iCloud and Facetime, etc. after changing your Apple ID?

I changed my Apple ID and now all of the related applications like Facetime, iCloud, and others are prompting for the old Apple ID and I can not find any way to change the id for these apps. Can anyone tell me what has to be done? Should I change the Apple ID beck to the original?

Basically, you have to "sign out" of all those services using your previous Apple ID.
Here is a list:

It would be nice if Apple placed more emphasis on this excerpt from Changing your Apple ID
Before you change your Apple ID:
Sign out of all Apple features and services that you use with your current Apple ID.
... but if you did not, it's easily remedied.

How do you change your apple id on icloud on your phone

I changed my email address and i had to change my apple ID and password to the new email and it worked, but now im trying to change my apple ID in my settings on my iphone and its not working. It still says its my old email and password and i cant back up my phone. I've downloaded icloud on to my computer and i still cant back up my phone. I was wondering if there's another way to change my apple ID on my phone in settings so i cant back up my phone.

Hello Megan,
If you are being asked for the previous Apple ID to sign out, then you will need to change it back to your previous one so you can sign out. Take a look at the article below for more information so you can get to using your new Apple ID on your iPhone.

HT204053 Changing your Apple Id

Hey,
I'm in the process of changing all my email subscriptions and so on to my @icloud.com account and I was planning on getting rid of my gmail account permanently but when I came to changing my apple id it won't let me use my icloud address is say it can't be a apple generated email account now I find that kinda strange that a "APPLE ID EMAIL ADDRESS CANNOT BE APPLE ID GENERATED ACCOUNT". Is there anyway around this? or I'm I missing something here?
Thanks

If your account becomes locked for any reason and Apple need to contact you, they cannot do so on an email account that is locked, hence the requirement for an alternate address.

HT204053 I just changed my Apple Password and icloud does not recognize the password.

I just changed my Apple Password and icloud does not recognize the password.

To change it on your iPhone you have go to Settings>iCloud and delete the account, then set it up again with your new credentials. When you delete the account from your phone it will delete any data you are syncing with iCloud (such as contacts and calendars) from your phone but it will remain in iCloud. Provided your are signing back into your existing account and not changing to a new account, it will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.

How do I change my Apple ID for iCloud without losing my data?

I really seem to have made a mess of my transition to iCloud :-( I have had an Apple ID for many years - it's my @gmail.com email address. I also have an @mac.com email address and, because I was a subscriber to MobileMe I have an @me.com email address, too.
I only recently upgraded my MacBook to OS X 10.7.4 after buying an iPad and deciding that I would like to be able to sync information between my MacBook, iPhone (3GS) and iPad.
I believe my problems started when I bought the iPad about a month ago on a trip to New York. I didn't have my MacBook with me to check which Apple ID I should use. I set up my iPad with my @gmail.com address as my Apple ID. When I returned home I discovered that my iCloud ID on my MacBook is my @mac.com email address.
I thought I could simply change the Apple ID on my iPad but I've not found any way that I can do that.
The problems I'm experiencing relate mainly to Calendars - I now have multiple entries for events on all my devices. I also have multiple entries for people in my Address Book and Contacts.
What I would like to do is -
1) retain my @gmail.com address as my Apple ID for the iTunes Store and purchases - this is the one I've always used and I have lots of purchases associated with it.
2) change my Apple ID for iCloud from my @gmail.com address to my @mac.com address so that I can also sync my Mail and, hopefully, eliminate the occurrence of multiple calender entries
If I were to delete my current @gmail.com address Apple ID on my iPad will I lose the data associated with this ID?
Cheers
Tricia

Thank you for responding to my question so promptly! My Apple ID for my iCloud account on my MacBook is the correct (i.e. my @mac.com) email address. Do I need to sign out and then sign back in after I have changed/updated my details on my iPad?
When I look at the 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars' details on my iPad under the heading 'Accounts' it first shows my @me.com account and the items under that account are 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Find My iPad' - when I expand the account details it shows that my iCloud Account is actually my @mac.com email adddress.
The second entry is iCloud which is currently my @gmail.com account. Under this account are 'Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Reminders, PhotoStream, Documents & Data, Backup.
The third account is headed Gmail and is, indeed, my @gmail.com account, too. Under this account it shows 'Mail, Calendars, Notes'.
Am I correct in suspecting that the reason for my having multiple occurrences of both events in Calendars and people in Contacts is because more than one account is syncing Contacts and Calendars?
Thank you for your help
Cheers
Tricia
