HT204053 How can I change the apple ID that is set up on my mac to match the one on my phone so they can sync

I have inadvertently set up two apple ID accounts - now, I am trying to use iCloud to sync everything but my mac has one ID and my phone has another.  How can I change the one on my mac?  the one on my phone is the one that has the extra storage.

Navigate to system preferences > iCloud and sign out of your account, then sign back in using the correct details.

  • How can I change my Apple ID that is set up with an old email that does not exist anymore

    I set up an Apple ID years ago with a hotmail email account. I also deleted that hotmail email account years ago. I now have a gmail email. I cannot back up anything to icloud because of my apple id that is connected to the hotmail email account that does not exist anymore. To change my ID, apple sends a verification email to my old hotmail account which i cannot access, and it also says my gmail account is my rescue account, so I wouldn't be able to change it to my gmail account anyway.  Any ideas? I'd like my ID to be associated with my one and only current gmail email account. I have a lot of songs that I've spent a lot of money on over the years that I don't want to lose.

  • HT204053 How do I change my apple ID in my icloud account information under settings on my iphone?  When I did the latest update it reverted to my old apple ID and I do not know the password anymore.

    How can I change my icloud account information on my iphone 4S?  When I did the latest update my icloud account reverted to the original ID I had when setting up my account.  How can I change my apple ID when I am in setting > iCloud > account > Apple ID?  Again my ID went to original ID and I do not know how to update it to my new one. 
    Thanks! 

    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.

  • HT204053 how do I change my apple ID username in the app store?

    On my iphone, how do I change the apple ID that naturally pops up when I try to update my apps?

  • How do I change the apple ID that is set on my 3gs

    How do I change the apple ID that is currently set on my iPhone

    Log out of the current account and log in with the new credentials. You will always get the old Apple ID whenever you update apps that were downloaded/bought with that ID, as apps and media are forever tied to one apple ID.
    If you do not want that to happen when you update thos apps in the future, you will have to delete them, and if you want them back, you will need to repurchase/ redownload them with the new Apple ID.

  • How can i change my apple id and password, i have 2 ipads, when i upgrade the 2nd ipad for the new iOS 5, i apparently synch, including the apple ID of the first one, now I need to change ID on the 2nd?

    2 ipads were upgraded on itunes on the same laptop, apparently synch and picked up the apple ID and password on the 2nd ipad, how can I change the ID and password..thanks
    I created a new one but let say i go to apps store and install app, it will show dialog box with the 1st apple ID.

    If these are both yours on the same account then give them different names so iTunes can tell them apart.
    If the sync was an accident then do a "wipe" of the other iPad and set it up as new under a different ID and make sure iTunes knows it's a different accout, that is set it up as one, before you begin the sync.

  • How can I change the Apple ID that is set up with my Mail account?

    I need to change that hotmail address

    You shouldn't post your email address in public forums.
    To manage your Apple ID, go to this site:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    You can change an outside email address associated with an Apple ID as a main login, but you will still have an Apple email address associated with it also which you can't change.
    You will need to sign in with your apple id. If you forgot your password, click forgot  and follow the directions.

  • How can I change my Apple ID that is stored in my iCloud Account Information?

    I need to update my iCloud account on my Touch with a new Apple ID.  How can I do this?  Thanks!

    To change your iCloud ID, 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.
    When you delete the account you will be prompted about whether to delete or keep the iCloud data.  If you are signing back into the same account that has only been renamed, choose Delete.   Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.  If you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep, then sign back in with your new ID and choose Merge with iCloud to upload your data to the new account.
    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 How do I change my apple id for iCloud on an iPad 2? Mine won't let me

    How do I change my iCloud id email address on the iPad 2? I don't have the option too, and I keep getting notifications that iCloud cannot back up my files. I change my apple id, so I don't understand as to why it didn't change it on iCloud. Help! (:

    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)
    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 > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • HT1420 How can I change my Apple ID email for an account with 100s of purchases to the email address I have that (at some point) I logged into gamecenter and "claimed" it as another person?

    ^---topic
    I have used a @yahoo email address for 10 years as my apple ID when purchasing things.  The biggest problem being, that at some point, yahoo decided to delete the email account and I can't use it.  I would like to use my email addresses that I actually use (@me, @gmail), but I guess I used them at some point to log into gamecenter or some other useless apple thing. I know you can change the email associated with your account, but apple is showing that my emails are already in use, so I can't use them for this purpose.

    Change the email you used in "gamecenter or some other useless apple thing" then change your AppleID.

    I have downloaded the software for Lightroom 5.5 on my mac, but when it comes to installing it a window comes up with my name and requests a password.  I have no idea what the password is - all attempts have failed.  Where can I access to correct password

    That has nothing to do with Adobe. It wants your system password.

    How can I change my Apple ID on I cloud on my Ipone 4S, to be the same as I resently have changed my Apple ID into?

    But will my photos, calendar, etc. be associated with new ID? 
    I have this question too, as I finally changed my Apple ID from ancient unchecked email to current one.  When I go to delete iCloud account with old Apple ID, it gives me a message that says all my photos are going to be deleted and that freaks me out, so I have not deleted it. 
    Is all my data going to be associated with the new ID?
