HT204053 I recently changed my apple id to a new email. I cannot get my devices back online with my new apple id in the icloud

I recently changed my apple id to a new email at the same time getting a new Iphone 5. I cannot get all my devices back online with icloud since. It is still showing my old email even though I changed it and logged in under the new one. My icloud information is grayed out for the apple id.

You need to sign out completely in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud and then sign back in again with the new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in (may take a bit of time).

I recently changed my apple ID but the old on is still on my iCloud account. The old address is dimmed on iCloud on my iPad so I can't change it. How do I change to the new address? I don't want to delete the account as I don't want to lose the pictures

To change it, you have delete the existing account. However you can avoid losing any pictures in the process. 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. (Camera roll photos are not effected by deleting the account.)
Then 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.

HT204053 I recently changed ny Apple ID but it did not transfer over to my iCloud account. How do I change my iCloud ID? The login popup for iCloud will not go away so I cannot get into my iPad since it pops up as soon as I turn the device on.

I recently changed my Apple ID but it did not transfer over to my iCloud account. How do I change my iCloud ID? The password for the new Apple ID does not work since the iCloud default user name is imbedded in the login box. The login popup for iCloud will not go away so I cannot get into my iPad since it pops up as soon as I turn the device on and re-occurs every few seconds.

You have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, 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 iPad on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPad 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.

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.

HT5621 How can I change my Apple ID on the Icloud on my iphone? I changed it to a new address and the icloud wont let me update it on m phone and it is not registering my old address either because it no longer exists. please help!

It continues to ask me for my password for the old address nd when i enter it or have tried to change it, it does not recognise that address. Do I have to take y phone back to new to be able to log in to the icloud with the changed email address?

Sync with iTunes so you have a backup. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings. Restore the unit as New. Reconfigure for your new ID and password. Restore your apps, etc. from backup.

HT204053 I have an iTunes (Apple) id but the iCloud keeps asking me to sign in...

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 had to change my apple id but the icloud account still has the old one. How can i change it.

My apple id was cancelled by apple due to a problem and they suggested me to make a new apple id with a different email adress. Thats what i did, the proble is that the i cloud has the old apple id and i was trying to change it but i cant and the iphone keeps asking me to put de password on the old apple id wich is no longer in use
The second problem is that when i was trying to change that, something happened and all my contacts were erased!
I still have them on my ipad, but i dont know what to do, is all a mess with my devices!
Can somebody help me please?

With iOS 7 you will have to provide the password for the old ID in order to delete the existing account from your iPad. If you can't do this, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Produces & Services>Apple ID>iTunes Store, App Store or Mac App Store>Disabled Apple ID.
As far as your missing contacts, when you get the password for the old ID reset, sign in with the ID and your new password at icloud.com and check to see if your contacts are there. If they are, export them as a vCard as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606. You can then import this vCard to your new account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605.

I have an apple iPad(the new one(3)).I cannot get it to sync spreadsheets with my other ipad(2), on the numbers application.What am I doing wrong?

I have a third generation iipad and a 2nd generation iPad.Both wifi only.I cannot get these two machines to sync spreadsheets to each other using the numbers application and iCloud .What am I doing wrong?

no they are already in mp3 format I just tried that home sharing today because I couldnt find any other reason why they werent syncing. here is an example of a sync I just tried. I made an mp4 concert into an mp3 it came out perfect on my computer.. then I tried to sync it to my ipad with no luck, other than it going on my computer, it did not show up anywhere on my ipad in any area of the music sections etc playlists, songs, albums etc. Its just not there but remains on my computer. thats why I tried the home share today to see if that would help. Either I am really missing something or there is something wrong with this ipad. Did you ever have any trouble like this, does anyone? and what is something good to try? thank you again for answering! I appreciate it.

I recently udated my apple id at the apple store. It does reflect that change of id on my ipod.

I recently changed my apple id at the apple store. It worked on letting me log in but my ipod touch does not reflect the revised apple id. What step did i miss?

In iTunes? Yes I did. Logged back in with new ID and password. This works fine. Account on iPhone and in iCloud still shows the old ID. Apple ID field under setting/iCloud/account is non-selective. Is only option to delete account and recreate?

Apple ID in the icloud settings

How do you change your Apple ID in the icloud settings? It comes up gray and I am unable to click it to change it

The only way is to remove the account, then add it back in, using the AppleID you want to use. If this is a wholly different AppleID, then you will create a new iCloud account. If you just changed the email address at the appleid web management page, then it will be the same iCloud account.

I recently changed my Apple ID online, but I can't find a way to change it on my iPod touch. It will let me change the password, but not the ID. What do I do? Do I need to delete the account and start over?

I recently changed my Apple ID online, but I can't find a way to change it on my iPod touch. When I try to purchse an app, the iTouch keeps showing my old ID. However, when I purchase an app online with the new ID, it downloads to my iPod. What do I do to change the ID on the iPod itself?

Have you went to Settings>Store and sign out and sign back in?

HT5621 I recently changed my Apple ID but my cloud backup keeps asking for password to my old Apple ID. If I go in and delete my cloud account and create a new one will I lose everything or does the cloud follow my new ID when I set it up?

I recently changed my Apple ID but I keep getting messages from my Cloud account asking for my password to my old Apple ID. If I go in and delete the current Cloud account that appears to still be associated with my old ID and set up new one with my current ID will I lose all the stuff in the Cloud?

Did you just change the address or did you create a new Apple ID.

I recently changed my Apple ID. When I try to change my iCloud account on my Mac. I cannot access the account. I've changed the password once already. Any suggestions? My iPhone's account is fine.

I recently changed my Apple ID. When I try to make changes to my iCloud account on my Mac., I cannot access the account via System Preferences. I've changed the password once already. My iPhone's iCloud account is fine. At this point my iCloud account no longer is working with my Mac. Does anybody have any suggestions?

I finally figured out the answer to my own question. I created a new iCloud account on my Mac. Problem solved!
