    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

  • HT204053 what if i change to new iphone can the apps & contacts been copied to my new devise use the same icloud/apple id?

    what if i change to new iphone can the apps & contacts been copied to my new devise use the same icloud/apple id?

    Yes, they can ... best way ist to backup your current device with iTunes and setting up the new iPhone from this backup ... iTunes will ask you this when you connect your new one for the first time ...

  • Trying to change my iCloud apple ID to match my iTunes. Unlike previous question, my iCloud account does not even exist anymore, so I'm not able to sign OUT of it on my phone. I'm stuck because I can't sign in or out of it.

    A while back I changed the login that I use for my account. For some reason when I got my new iPhone, iCloud decided to log me in using the older email account. Since it doesn't technically exist anymore, I can't use it to sign into my phone. But I keep getting popups on my phone every minute asking me to log in with my (now non-existant) iCloud account. I'd like to be able to sign out of that iCloud account and sign in with the same email address that I use for my iTunes account. However, I can't even log out of my iCloud account on my phone because signing out requires a password also! What to do?

    Hello florabb,
    You may be able to change or reset the password on this old iCloud/Apple ID account, even if you no longer have access to the email address associated with it. Once the password is changed/updated, you should be able to log your iPhone out of the old iCloud/Apple ID account and log in to the correct new account. You may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Sign in with a different Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Sincerely,
    - Brenden

  • After I've set-up my iOS device with an Apple ID for iCloud, how can I change the iCloud Apple ID?

       After updating my iPad 2 & iPhone 4 to iOS 5, I set-up each one for iCloud, but inadvertently used 2 different Apple ID's (one me.com and one that I typically use for Apple purchases).  I realize this will prevent the two devices from syncing.  When I try to change the iCloud Apple ID, it is grayed out, and I can't find any way to re-set it on my iPad.  Does anyone know how to re-set this ID so both devices are operating on the same ID?
      I have a second question (though not as pressing as the first).  I'd like to use my me.com ID to sync calendars, contacts, etc., but another ID to sync my Apple purchases (apps, etc.).  This way my wife and I could share apps, but each sync our iPhones and iPads to our own content.  Does anyone know if this type of dual-ID set-up is possible on one device?
       I know there's a lot of confusion out there, but I'm trying to keep in mind that this is a huge upgrade and transition for Apple, so it will all work out, and should be fantastic when it does.  It'll just take a little time to sort out.  Thanks for any suggestions!  -Bob-

    Hi Jeremy,
        That is my understanding.  Clicking "Delete Account" is similar to logging out of iCloud with that account. 
       But your situation is different from mine, as I had been using my @me.com account for "Find My iPhone" only.  I ended up using my @me.com account for iCloud and another account for my Apple iTunes Store purchases.
       That's correct--it will not delete your purchases.  You can still back-up to your Mac with iTunes using the same account you used to purchase your Apple stuff.  -Bob-

  • My company set up a Icloud account under their help desk email but i dont have the password to fix it so i need to be able to change the Icloud apple id to my email address but it wont let me because found my Ipad is turned on and cant change?

    My company set up an Icloud apple id under their help desk email by mistake and there isnt a password so how do i change the email address/apple id
    to my email address that i do have the password for?  I can use the Ipad for everything except the Icloud account.

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • I have a new email address and updated it with my apple id/icloud and updated on my iPhone, but i'm getting a pop up to enter my password with my old email address listed for iCloud/Apple id.

    I have a new email address and updated my apple id/icloud  with the new address. I updated on my iPhone, but i'm keep getting a pop up to enter my password with my old email address listed for iCloud/Apple id.  How do I get it to go away?

    Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
    Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

  • I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring.

    I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring. One phone is for work and one is for private and I don't need both phones to ring from one call. It's bizarre.......is this supposed to be like this? If so where can I turn it off?? And while we are at it iOS8 has installed iBooks on both of my phones and iTunes won't let me uninstall it. I don't need or want iBooks on my phones.

    Hi,
    There are two easy fixes to this.
    One, you can set up Family Sharing, in which you can have two different iCloud Accounts, yet still share the same apps, music, media etc.
    Two, go to Settings and turn-off "Handoff". This can be found under the General page.
    Hope this helps!

  • I want to switch my main iCloud Apple ID account with another one, but to do that do I have to delete the account? and if I do delete the main account that the iCloud is on now, will it delete the whole account or will it just remove it from iCloud?

  • Can one have multiple iCloud Apple IDs?

    Hello.
    Would I automatically lose my current iCloud Apple ID if I signed up for a new one? And if the answer is ‘No’, what is the maximum number of iCloud email addresses that one can have?

    You can create a new Apple ID and then iCloud account without affecting the original one. You can sign into additional iCloud accounts in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars so that the data appears alongside the primary account.
    No limit to the number of accounts created this way has been stated, however any one Mac or device can create only three iCloud accounts (though once the limit is reached they can sign into another account created on another Mac or device). The three-account limit is tied to the hardware, not the user account, and cannot be bypassed.
    Of course if all you want is additional addresses you can create three 'email aliases' on any one account - these are not accounts but extra addresses, messages to which are delivered to the same inbox as the primary address. More on aliases here - http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    Note that once you have created an alias it cannot be moved to another account nor turned into an ID, even after deletion.

  • My iphone was stolen, I used find my iphone app, and found that it was offline, however when tried locking mode option, I pressed remove device by mistake. Is there any way I can restore the iphone to my icloud/ apple Id again? No manual backup on laptop

    The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

  • Will iBooks sync between iPhone and iPad with non-iCloud Apple ID?

    I have two Apple IDs. One is an email address that I've used for all my iTunes purchases. The other is a .Mac account that I've had for I think ten years. The .Mac account has, of course, been converted to an iCloud account. I got an iPad recently and have bought some books from the iBooks store using my non-iCloud Apple ID. I have books on both my iPad and iPhone and have Sync Bookmarks and Sync Collections enabled on both devices. Both devices are connected to my iCloud account. But the two devices don't sync. Is this because my purchases were made with my non-iCloud account? Is there any way to get them to sync?

    I don't think you are missing anything...
    On the iOS devices tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Photo Stream off then back on then reset the devices.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    See if your photos sync now between the PC, iPad, and iPhone.
