I want to sync iCloud contacts to google contacts, Is there a way?
I want to sync iCloud contacts to google contacts on a regular basis, Is there a way?
For a few reasons, I decided to use both services after thoroughly researching this same question about a year ago for myself.
I use iCloud for my "Top 20" or so contacts. Advantage is that I can sync more phone #'s per contact and get a full screen photo when they call.
I use Google for everyone else. And only the contacts in My Contacts group will get synched, so I can manage easily how many contacts are on my phone at any time. Another advantage is that if iCloud ever goes down, or I lose my device, I can easily look up my contacts on a web browser (assuming Google is available 100% of the time) If I move to another device down the road, all of my contacts can stay on Google.
My google contacts is setup as an exchange account, so updates are pushed to the device as well. Another advantage to this is that I can "lookup" any contact on my google account that is not part of My Contacts right on the device at will.
The "Top 20" icloud contacts are also on Google, under its own group that doesn't sync with the device, just as a backup. -
How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.
Settings-icloud-scroll to the bottom, select delete, if you want to keep the content select keep, otherwise it'll remove it. Then once it is done add the account information for the account you want on that phone. Your apple ID in settings-store will remain the same and each device can still purchase/use content from that account.

I changed my apple ID, but it won't let me change the ID for icloud on my iPhone. How do I change it?
You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials. This deletes the account and your synced data from your phone, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.

Can I have two Iphones connected to one icloud account and if so, how do I change the icloud user name on the phone
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can use one iCloud account between multiple devices.
What do you mean 'change the iCloud user name'. -
How do I change the apple id for iCloud on my iPhone4?, How do I change the apple id for iCloud on my iPhone4?
When you go into iCloud there is an option to delete the account. The help desk advised me that using this option only deletes it on the phone and not the actual Apple ID. If you delete it you are given an option to keep content associated with this ID on the phone, which may be a good idea unless you want to completely refresh your phone.
Once you delete the account, you can then enter a new Apple ID.
I've just done it and it worked fine, leaving the original Apple ID intact and working on another phone. -
I have a different username on my icloud account on my iphone, how can I change it to my apple ID and log in? It was from when I initially set up the phone but needs updating but doesn't seem possible.

I now have my daughters iPad can you please tell me why I can't set up iCloud.in settings the iCloud is greyed out also how do I change her mail account to mine?
To change your iCloud ID or password you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your other ID. If you need to migrate any of your daughter's iCloud data to your account, choose Keep on My iPad when prompted, then choose Merge to upload it to the new account. If not, choose Delete from My iPad.

How do I change Apple ID for iCloud account?
I changed Apple ID online because my email address changed. How can I change Apple ID for iCloud?
If you renamed your iCloud ID and need to change it on your device, 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. -
having had to reset my apple ID password I am now told my icloud password is incorrect. HOw do I change it to match the new apple one
Settings-->Mail-->iCloud-->Account is the normal method however iCloud mail is not working for several of us. The password incorrect notification pops up usually when the servers are down (God forbid we actually get a "server down" notification.)

My iPhone is synced with my iPad so this means that all of my iMessages being sent to my phone are also being sent to my iPad. I do not want my iMessages to be synced so how would I change it back so that ONLY my iPhone will receive my iMessages.
What if I deleted the email address on my phone so the only option for the "Send and Receive" is my phone number. The problem is that I sold my iPad and cannot get it back so I am trying to find a solution where I do not have to use the iPad.

iClound Control Panel says my Apple ID is valid but it is not an iCloud account. How do I link the 2 accounts on a Windows 8 PC with iTunes 11. I go to Apple services and it gives some instructions; but they leave me hanging. They tell me to put in the same user name and then just stop. Doesn't say what to do next. I did what it said and the 2 accounts are still not linked. Anyone know how to assist? Thank you.
Apple isn't trying to be anti-PC with this; they support PCs going all the way back to Vista SP2, a 3-generation old version of Windows. To sync iCloud with a Mac you have to be running one of the last 2 versions of the OS X operating system (i.e., a newer version than you do on Windows). I assume it's set up this way because it's a service provided customers purchasing Apple devices that utilize iCloud syncing services, and if you happen to also you own a PC, it will sync with that as well. It wouldn't make sense for them to provide this service, including a free 5GB iCloud account, hosting for backups, syncing services, free photo stream, etc. for non-Apple customers (who, for example, may only own a PC).
If you have a friend with one of these devices who is willing to let you create the account on their device, you could then use it on your PC. They would have to delete the existing account from their device in Settings>iCloud, then let you sign in with your ID to create a new account, then delete this account from their device and sign back into their own account. You could then use this ID to sign into the newly created account on your PC. Note: each device can only create 3 iCloud accounts, so you would be using one of their 3 alotted accounts, but they may be willing to do this for you.
iCloud is really designed to keep your data in sync across multiple devices that you may own, and with your computer. It will also automatically back up your device, stream photos taken on one device to all your other devices, and allow you to locate a misplaced device using Find My iPhone. It doesn't, however, sync music if that's what you're looking for.
If you want to be able to access your music from iCloud you don't need an iCloud account for this. As mentioned earlier, music purchased from the iTunes store is already available in iCloud. Music from other sources, such as in your case, can only be accessed from iCloud if you subscribe to iTunes Match (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/). If you do, you can then upload your iTunes library (up to 25,000 songs) to iCloud an access them from an iOS device via iCloud, even without an iCloud account. Music purchased from other sources that is copy protected (contains DRM) is not eligible and will not be uploaded to iCloud so be sure your music purchased from Amazon doesn't contain DRM before subscribing. -
hello guys ...i need any help or suggestions, how can i change my icloud email address?? i typed a w rong name by mistake?? can i change it and retype the correct one? thanks ...your suggestio is higly appreciated.
That's definitely not supposed to happen. You shouldn't have someone else's iCloud email linked to your ID.
You'll have to get iCloud support to sort this one out. The only way to contact them is to start here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/. You'll have to provide your iPhone serial number. Unless it's within the 90 day free support window, or you purchased AppleCare, there will be a charge. I suppose you can plead your case when they answer that you shouldn't be charged as you didn't set up this address and it shouldn't have happened with your ID. -
HT204053 i don't have icloud icon on my settings, how can I find it?
i don't have icloud icon on my settings, how can I find it?
Make sure you are using iOS 5 or higher (required for iCloud). Also, if this is a phone from your employer or you have added your employer's exchange email account to your phone, they may have pushed a security profile to your phone removing iCloud. (Check Settings>General to see if there is a setting called Profile near the bottom.) You would need to contact your emplyer's IT department to confirm this.
