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.

I just moved and my iPad location is still showing my old location how do I change that?
I just moved and my iPad location is still showing my old location how do I change that?
That's the problem. A WiFi-only iPad uses a database of router locations to determine location. Unfortunately, the mechanics behind this database are a tightly-held secret. Your location may change to the correct one within a week or two or it may take as long as a year! (I'm not kidding.) Incidentally, it will help if you're within range of other routers. Doesn't matter if you pass data through them and also doesn't matter if they're locked. The only requirement is "within range."
By the way, you will find that, if you take your iPad away from your house, it will report your location more accurately. -

I used to have a apple id but when i got my macbook i changed it. Then i downloaded OS X and updates in my app store will not let me change my apple id back to my new one it just still uses my old one. What do i do?
Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple Id to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new ID. -
icloud still shows my old email address when I try to enter, asking me for a password I no longer have. I need to change my email address and password in ICLOUD but I can't find a way to do it. Any ideas? Thanks.
Logout (System Preferences>iCloud) then login with the new address and password.

Hi I could not remember the answers to my security questions so called apple support they advised there was a problem with yahoo email and advised I set a new emai which I have and it was verified but when I now try to purchase from I tunes it still comes up with my old email how can I change this so it links to my new email please thanks in advance for any help
The best option is to sign out of all accounts http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796. you will have to remove all of the purchases or the old yahoo account will keep coming up.

Changed my Apple ID under settings still showing my old ID no way to change
I changed my Apple ID but the I tunes store still shows my old ID and no way to change even in the settings
Also messages will not open says could not sign in check net work connection
All since changing to new IDNormally I would say that's because you restricted changes to accounts. Settings>General>Restrictions>Allow Changes>Accounts. If you disable changing accounts the Apple ID will be greyed out, but you said that you were able to change the ID for FaceTime and that shouldn't work either.
for the message about checking the network connection check Settings>General>Date and Time>Set automatically>On. Make sure the time zone is correct as well. Then try restarting the iPad and if you still get the message, reset the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
I have an iTunes (Apple) id that works fine but the iCloud keeps asking me to sign in and then says that the password is incorrect when I know it isn't. Have tried a password reset that works for everything else (App Store, iTunes etc) but iCloud still won't accept it. Any ideas?
You would have to access http://appleid.apple.com to find the email address but as you've reset the password you can't get into that. You will have to contact Support: the iTunes Store is probably the best place to start. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column and then 'iTunes Store' in the second column.

I have a new APPLE ID , for ITunes for downloading music etc , buy mu IPhone has my OLD apple ID so I cannot sync the 2 even though I have changed the ID in the phone settings
Not dumb! Tap and hold down your finger on one of the icons until they all start to wiggle. You will then see a little "x" in the upper left-hand corner of the icon. Tap on that to delete the app!
Cheers.

Press the menu button on the remote several times to make sure you are on the main screen.
Navigate to the menu on the far right hand side of the top row (not including the row of artwork)
Select the first option in that menu.
Scroll down the next menu that appears and choose the 6th option from the bottom.
Select your language from the list available. -
