HT204053 Having trouble changing my icloud account info to new apple id

I changed our apple id a while ago. Our phones have not been backing up because I have been unsuccessful in changing my apple id under the icloud account information. Under icloud in settings on my iphone, it still has listed my old apple id.(I tried to get into it but the old apple id and password arent matching up) I touched on the account to try to change my apple id but it is not letting me highlight that section to be able to change it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Will_M123,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you want to get all of your Apple devices on the same iCloud account. Are you receiving some kind of alert when you try to sign out of the iCloud account on the MacBook Pro? Please use the following information as a reference for signing out of iCloud.

HT204053 How do I change my iCloud account to my new apple ID?

I previously used my moms apple ID and had iCloud set up under her apple ID. I just got a new Mac and am setting up everything under my own apple ID. My iPhone and iPad are linked under the previous ID and I don't knwo how to change the account under iCloud. When it says DELETE ACCOUNT, does it just delete it from my device or does it deleteit for good?

If you want to change your iCloud ID to another existing ID you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. Deleting the account only deletes if from the device, not from iCloud. Any other devices still using the account will not be effected by this.
Before deleting the account, 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 iPhone [iPad}. 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.

Having problems changing my icloud account on my ipad

Due to changing my primary e:mail i've recently changed my AppleID.
Now on my ipad i'm trying to change my iCloud account to the new one but when i try to delete the old account i get into an endless loop when it asks for my password (to the old account) to allow "find my iPad" to be turned off.
Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Hi ..
You need to upgrade to Lion v10.7.2 Lion in order to use iCloud. It's not possible to enable iCloud on a Mac running v10.6.x Snow Leopard.

I create new apps pretty rarely. This might be second nature to those people who create thousands of apps. But I don't recall it being very difficult. Also, I am only setup for the Mac App Store right now.
You just go into the Developer Certificate Utility via the link in the right hand sidebar.
There, go into "App IDs" and just "Create App ID" to create the app with the name and bundle ID that you want. I don't see anything for editing or deleting an App ID. Just create a new one with the name and ID you want. If you really want to re-use the name for the dead ID, you would probably have to contact Apple. I think your question might fall into the "Program Benefits" category.
Once you have an app name and bundle ID you are happy with, make your Xcode project match them. Then, in Xcode, use Product > Archive to validate and submit to the App Store.

I am having trouble changing my payment info for my I tunes account online

What problem are you having ? If you are getting an error message then what does it say ?

How do I change my iCloud account info so my husband and I can link calendars?

How do I get my iTouch to link calendars with my husband's iPhone? My iCloud account info automatically lists my Apple ID, but his phone lists his Apple ID from work. Do they need to be the same, and if so, how do we do that when the field is greyed out and unchangeable?

Thee if the gray indicates that there a Restriction set that prevent changing accounts. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions.

HT204053 can i have multiple iCloud accounts with the same Apple id

Can i have multiple iCloud accounts with the same Apple id

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, your ID is essentially your account. You can have email aliases and you can have multiple accounts, but I don't think that's what you are asking.

How do I update my icloud account with my new apple id without losing all my backed up data?

I recently changed my apple id and password and I would like to know how to update my icloud account to reflect the new id. I realize I can delete the old one and set up a new one, but the message that comes up tells me that all my backed up data will be deleted, would this delete the data and photos that are currently on my iPad? Also, would I have to change my icloud email address?

First, there are apple IDs and their associated passwords. You get the ID when creating a new icloud account. You can also create an ID when setting up an iTunes store account. You can have an icloud account and an iTunes account each using the same ID or different IDs.
So the question is, the ID that you changed... what process did you use to change it and to which account was that ID associated with?
But.. to address your problem (you have one "old" ID for icloud that you have been using and now want to use a new ID - hence a new account), you must move your data from one account to another...
When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.
When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.
After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to this new account.
Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc. Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there. These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
NOTE: Photos in the photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the new account. It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch.

TS3988 how to i change my icloud id to my new apple id without losing everything

how do i change my icloud account name to my new apple id without losing my pics

Welcome to the Apple community.
You will need to save your photo stream photos, before you change your iCloud account.
Navigate to the photo stream album and into the photo sheet view (the one with all the thumbnails), click on the small rectangle with the arrow on it, in the top right corner of the screen and then tap each photo you wish to save. Once you have selected all the photos you want to save, tap the save button at the bottom of the screen and choose a new album to save them into.
Once you have done all this, you can delete your current iCloud account and enter your new one.

HT204053 can i change my icloud account to different apple id?

I have a different apple ID than I have on other things. I'm not sure why, but I wasn't very savvy about apple when I set it up. Is this a problem? I have constant problems with my contacts not syncing properly between imac, ipad and iphone. Contacts are constantly disappearing. Is this the reason?

Try checking Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) to be sure it's set to iCloud. This will ensure that new contacts are added to iCloud and not Hotmail. Then go to icloud.com to confirm that your contacts are in your iCloud account. Assuming they are, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then after a minute or so turn Contacts back to On. This will cause your iCloud contacts to reappear on your phone. This process of disconnecting your contacts from iCloud, then reconnecting again may cure your iCloud syncing issues.
Add a new test contact to your phone to confirm that it syncs properly with your contacts on icloud.com and your other devices. Assuming it does, you can delete it again. Hopefully things will stay fixed.

Having trouble creating an iCloud account on my iPhone 4

I recently purchased an iPhone 4 off of craigslist. I love the phone and have had no problems with it, except I cannot figure out how to creat an iCloud account. When I try to create one on my phone, a notification pops up that says "this phone has exceeded its number of free accounts". Ive read that you are allowed 3 free accounts, but there has to be some way around this. Please help!!!
Thanks~!

The only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created, or to create a new account to use on another iOS device or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or later), if you have one.

My user id has changed but did not update in my ipad icloud account. How do I change my icloud account to my new ID?

I changed my user id recently. But in my Ipad, Icloud setting, the ID has not changed. How do I change the ID in Icloud settings?

You cannot change an Apple ID. You presumably created a new one.
So go to Settings > iCloud, delete the old iCloud account from your iPad (down at the bottom), and then sign in with your new Apple ID.
If you have purchased material (e.g., iTunes music), you may well run into issues doing this change, in that your iTunes music is not authorized to play on your new Apple ID.

How do I change my iCloud account to my new appleID account? The original email account no longer exists.

Helpme. My email address for icloud no longer exists. I need to wtich it to the new apple ID account on icloud but its faded in Gray on my phone.

Hello Sfloyd003,
The following article details the process of changing the signed in iCloud account on your device.
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.

TS3988 How can I set up a new icloud account with a new apple id when I have an old account for which I have lost the password and security questions etc

I have changed isp and no longer have access to rescue email addresses and have lost my details. I have set up a new apple id and want to set up icloud with this but cant get past the icloud preferences pane with the old address. How do I get around this?

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.
