HT204053 .  Is there a way to change/update icloud account and apple id

I recently changed email addresses, so I changed this in my apple account.  This changed my apple id.  When I did that, I can no longer get icloud to work.  On my devices I am unable to change the account id for icloud, and I can no longer log in with my old password.  how can I update the user name on my icloud account to match the updates in my apple account?

Welcome to the Apple community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

  • Update iCloud account and apple id on iOS devices

    Hello,
    How to update apple id and iCloud account on my IOS devices after having changed them on my Mac ?
    Thank you in advance

    If you have 'Find My (device)' set up you have to log out of that with the old password - this may or may not work. If you don't have it set up you should be able to log out (on an iOS device: Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete Account' - this will not delete the account from the server).
    If you are unable to do this you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' (this is probably the nearest subject available).

  • Is there a way to change the iCloud account on my iPhone from one email to another without deleting the first account or deleting the information currently on my phone?

    Right now my iCloud is synced through our family Apple ID. It wasn't a problem until my mom got an iPad and synced it to the same Apple ID, so now she receives all of my iMessages and FaceTime messages. I have created my own Apple account, but how do I change the Apple ID to the new one without deleting the information currently on my phone?

    First, turn everything off for iCloud...contacts, calendars, FaceTime, iMessage, notes, Find My Phone, etc. You'll be prompted to keep the data on your phone or delete it...select keep. Then: Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, set everything back up using your new ID.

  • Is there a way to change a Mail account from POP to IMAP?

    Greetings,
    Is there a way to change a Mail account from POP to IMAP so as not to have to create a new account?
    Thanks

    GMail offers both without you have to pick one or the other? If so, and changing the server doesn't work then you will need to re-establish the account in Mail. Don't delete the old account (or you will lose any downloaded messages) - there's no reason why you shouldn't have both available. You can move the messages from the POP account to another folder and then delete it.

  • Is there a way to change my iCloud ID to be my iTunes ID without deleting my iCloud account?

    I don't know my iCloud account password and Its different then my iTunes account. I can't sign into my old email either. Is there a way to change my iCloud ID to be my iTunes ID without deleting my iCloud account?

    No. Sorry. Since you have a different iCloud ID than your iTunes ID, you essentially have two Apple IDs - one for iCloud and one for iTunes. They cannot be merged.
    What is it that you are needing to do?
    GB

    i forgot my icloud account and password , and find my iphone is activated. is there a way to recover my icloud account?

    Do you have access to old emails or could you ask a friend to provide you information about your iCloud ID? If not, do you rember your ID for "Find My iPhone", because it could be the same ID as for iCloud. After you have obtained the information about your ID you can reset your password here: https://iforgot.apple.com

  • Is there another way of getting my icloud emails. Apple says there is an issue and I am desperate to get my mail, is there another way of getting my icloud emails. Apple says there is an issue and I am desperate to get my mail

    Hi,
    Is there another way of getting my icloud emails. Apple states on the service status page there is an issue and I am desperate to get my mail.
    thank you
    Dave

    Seriously? Not really sure what else to say. Doesn't Apple have any user experience experts? Or are they all 22 year old programmers who never, ever, put down their company-supplied iPhones?

  • Is there anyway I can change the icloud account from someone else's account to my iCloud account on my iPod5?

    Is there anyway I can change the iCloud account On my iPod5 from someone else's iCloud account to my iCloud account?

    As I stated earlier:
    You will need the Apple ID and password of the previous owner or the device will be locked and cannot be used.

  • TS3988 How can I change my iCloud account and password? If I delete the account, I do not want all info deleted.

    I want to change my iCloud account and password without losing info that has been backed up.

    Your iCloud account ID and password are the AppleID and password you used when you created the account.  As fromsouth says, change the password for the AppleID and you've changed it for your iCloud login.  You can also change the primary email address of that AppleID if you need to.

  • Is there a way to change the font size and color of text in the calendar app?

    Does anyone know a way of changing the font size and color of text in the calendar app that comes with the iPad 2?  It is very hard to see the small gray numbers on the calendar.  Thanks

    Looks like you didn't get a reply on your post, but it is still a problem.  Font size is supposedly changeable via "Accessibility" in Settings, but it doesn't work.  You can turn on "Zoom".

  • Is there a way to change the icloud email address associated with your Apple ID?

    I had an Apple ID long before iCloud came around.  Naturally, my username was my email address, let's say [email protected]  I signed up for an @me email address when they started just to try it out, but never used it.  Either by default or by my own decision, my @me account became the same as my old email address: [email protected]  Later, Apple issued the @icloud email addresses, so I now have: [email protected] as well.  I want to set up a different icloud address, one that I would actually use, let's say [email protected]  Then, I would like to associate that address with my Apple ID and delete the oldaddress@icloud address altogether.  Can I do this and if so how?
    Thanks for the advice.

    Since your Apple ID is already associated with the current iCloud account (and the account cannot be delete, it can only be abandoned), you can't use it to create another.  You would need to create a new Apple ID with a new non-Apple email address to create a new iCloud account.  You can still use your current ID for everything else; the iCloud ID does not need to be the same as the ID you use for other services (iTunes, etc.).
    You would then have to migrate your iCloud data to the new account and turn on your iCloud data syncing.  When you turn Mail to On, you can create your new @icloud email address (but type carefully since once created it cannot be changed).  You @me iCloud email address would remain associated with the iCloud account you are leaving but it sounds like you don't want to use it anyway.  You can set up email forwarding to forwared email sent to your @me address to your new @icloud address while your contacts transition to your new address.
    If that sounds like something you want to do, I can give you the steps to migrate your data to the new account.

    You can't change the email address that iCloud uses, you can only create aliases.

  • When composing a new message in mail on OS X 10.9.2, is there a way to change the "sending" account on a per-message basis?

    I just got a new MacBook Pro and when composing a new message, I can no longer choose which e-mail account I want to use for the new message.  It also does not show which account I'm using in the e-mail composition panel.  Is there a way to fix this?

    Click on the pull down window next to From: and you should be able to select the individual account you want to send from.  The account that you want to send from must be an Enabled account in the Account Preferences of Mail.

  • Is there a way to merge two iCloud accounts ?

    I have a Mobile Me account, and an Apple account which I use with iTunes (with a GMail address).
    With iCloud, each of them have been linked to iCloud.
    It's not quite easy to have two accounts, and as Mobile Me is going to end, I'd like to merge everything (calendars, contacts,...) into the GMail account.
    Is there a way to do that ?

    Apple has absolutely no word on whether they will allow this in the future, but for now, no, it's not possible to merge IDs.  You can set up two accounts on your device for iCloud (one for syncing, one for purchases).  Apple was at least kind enough to give us that much:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895
