how do i change my account name(apple id) in iCloud on my iphone?

Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the changed ID.  This will delete the account and any data you sync with iCloud from your phone, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
Save any photo stream photos to your camera roll before deleting the account (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

  • How do I change to my new apple ID in icloud on my iphone?

    When I first got my iPhone my now ex-husband did all the set up. He used HIS email address though for the Apple ID and iCloud and had everything synced. I have not backed up my phone in months mainly because I have no storage left in iCloud and I don't want him accessing all my personal stuff since he has all the account passwords.
    I've since made myself a NEW apple ID and my new ID is in the iStore. I would now like to change or create a new iCloud associated with MY email address and new apple ID. When I go to settings it's greyed out, and won't let me change the email associated with the account and tells me the user name and password is incorrect (I'm assuming he removed my phone from the iCloud account and only has his iPod on it now).
    I'm afraid to delete the account and try logging in with my new info because everywhere I read says my info is backed up in iCloud but I no longer have access to the original iCloud account....
    Please help! I have texts that must be backed up for legal purposes!
    Thanks

    Turn off iCloud completely
    Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    Note:   If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help). 
    On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
    If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud. For more information, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Calendar & reminder data removed from Calendar and Reminders or iCal when disabling iCloud Calendar.
    On your Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then click Sign Out.
    Note:   If you turned on automatic download of music, app, or book purchases (in iTunes preferences or in Settings on your iOS device), your iTunes purchases are still downloaded to your devices.

    How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    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.  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.
    To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID.

  • How can i change the account name to our firm's name?

    how can i change the account name to our firm's name?

    The name that appears in Adobe Send is the name that you used when you created your Adobe ID.  You can update this by clicking on your name in the upper-right corner and selecting My Information ...
    Once the My Information dialog appears, you can change the First Name and Last Name on the account.  Note that you're updating your Adobe ID, so in many places where you use that Adobe ID, it will display with those names. (Some Adobe sites, such as this forum, use other screennames; those would not be affected.)

  • 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 account name in Mail on the iPad?

    I Am setting up my new iPad mini running iOS 8.1.
    other her mail accounts I have set up show the account name as the email address but when I set up my iCloud account the account name simply says "icloud".
    It is a bit confusing because there are other iCloud's mail accounts set up that just list it by email address.
    Does anyone know know how to change the displayed account name in Mail?

    Hi Gabe Hamrick,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  
    You can change the Description field of your iCloud email account so that it displays what you want.  Follow the steps in the article below to get into you Mail settings.  However, in step 3 instead of adding an account, you should already see your iCloud account showing in the Accounts section of the screen.  
    Add an email account on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201320
    1.  Tap Settings.
    2.  Scroll down and tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    3.  Tap on your iCloud account.  On the next screen, tap on your (name)@icloud.com email address to the right of the word Account.  Change the Description field to whatever you want to display.  Tap Done in the upper-right corner.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • Hello how do you change the account name

    Hello I've bought a second hand Mac mini.
    Under system  preferences...users and groups...user admin...advanced options
    How do you change the user ID, Group, Account name and home directory name?
    When I go to do this there is a warning sigh that the user won't be able to log in. As I'm the new owner of the Mac mini I'd like to put my own name there but not share if I'm doing it right.
    Thanks Edd

    Hello Eddie,
    Good thing you asked, not that easy, & can be dangerous...

    If it were me, I'd just make a new admin account, leave the old one for emergency use.

  • When I try and sign into iCloud, it shows an old account name.  How do I change the account name I am trying to sign into, it is greyed out.

    How do I change the iCloud account name when signing in?  It defaults to an old account that is no longer active.

    Hello ryanduby,
    The simplest possible solution would be to use the password for your current iCloud account. Should that fail to get your old account removed, the following article can help get you clear of your old account.

  • My old iPad icloud account has an old account name that I no longer subscribe to and will not let me access it. I need to in order to transfer my info to my new iPad. It won't let me change the account name to access the icloud.

    I am updating my iPad from first generation to fifth. I can access my app store info with no problem, but I cannot access iCloud. It has an account name that is greyed out and it's an account name of a service we no longer subscribe to. I keep getting a window that says user name or password is wrong, but it only gives me an option to enter a password that doesn't match up with that old account name. I need to transfer to the new ipad, but how do I get cloud access?

    You need to reset the password for the "old" account, and then use that to turn off iCloud.  Then you will be able to sign in with your new ID.
    You can reset your password at iForgot.apple.com.
    If you don't know the answers to the security questions, you will need to start there.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    -If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com.  Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE:  This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
    -If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address.  Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security.  You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

  • TS3988 How can I change an account name on iCloud?

    On my imac when I go to System Preferences/icloud/account details a name comes up which is not linked to any account information originally entered onto the account.  How can I delete this name and re-enter an appropriate name? I have gone through System Preferences/ICloud/Manage Acoounts etc with no luck.
    If it's a case of deleting the account and reinstalling a new account will that delete streamed photos from the existing icloud account?
    Thanks for any help.

  • How to configure a mail account "name@apple.fr"

    Hi everyone
    My girlfriend just created an Apple ID "[email protected]" with password for her iPhone. The iPhone is activated but...
    ... When she tries to configure "*Mail, Contacts, Calendars*" and creates a new mail account, she doesn't know what to fill in the POP/SMTP fields and neither do I.
    Thank You
    iBolinex

    Thx for the answer
    The Apple ID she created is "[email protected]" with a password (sorry, again
    After touching Connect in Settings/Store she wrote Apple ID ("[email protected]") and the password. Then it said she had to "verify the ID" by pressing the link given in the mail they sent.
