HT204053 My partner and I split and I can't change the Alternate Apple ID on my account which is in his name

My partner and I split and I have changed all my passwords but I am unable to remove/change/edit the Alernate Apple ID which is his me.com email address. Don't think he can access anuthing but sick of looking at his name.

To change the iCloud ID on your phone 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. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 iPhone 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 iDevice 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.

I merged my Apple ID accounts on my iPhone and iPod...how can I change the iPhone Apple ID account so that the iPod and iPhone has there own?

I think I understand what you mean. You were asked if you wanted to merge the contacts with your iCloud account. Contacts take up very little room and are probably not the reason that your iCloud is full. If you're now backing up two devices to iCloud rather than one, that will indeed take up more room.
You cannot undo the contact merge. You can go to Settings>iCloud on either device and see what categories of stuff you're backing up and make selections. You can also purchase more iCloud space there.

HT3965 How can I change the default Apple ID on and IPad?

My daughter just gave me her IPod - how can I change the default Apple ID? Every application update comes up with her email address.

Delete all the applications, sign into the iTunes Store with your Apple ID, and download the ones you want.

My mum set up an iCloud account and forgot the password, and this caused me to create a new account. The new account works for the App Store and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account without the password. Help?

My mum set up an iCloud account for my iPhone 4 but forgot the password. This caused me to create a new account, and it can be used for the App Store and iTunes and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account (the one my mum made). My device keeps prompting me for the password every few minutes after updating to iOS 8, and I've tried every option possible to retrieve the password, but I don't even know the answers to the security questions and I can't find the password reset email anywhere and I don't know the back up emails my mum used. I literally cannot find any legitimate way to sign out of the initial iCloud account without entering a password (which neither I nor my parents know). Is there a way for me to retreive the password or change to my new account without the password?

HT204053 How can I change my alternate Apple ID address

Hi, I want to change the alternate Icould address that is on my Ex wife name not sure now why, its the @icould.com and the @me.com and I cant find any place where to do this.
I want to keep my Apple ID but my Icloud shows with her Icloud Email, should I just do another Icloud account and will it let me use the same Apple ID Email or what should I do?
Many Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's not really important whether it's the Apple ID or the alternate address, iCloud email addresses cannot be changed. You may wish to consider creating an alias to use instead. You can create aliases at the iCloud.com website.

How can I change the old Apple ID, and i want to use my new Apple ID, i dont know the password because my phone is a gift for me of my sister what should i do, i cant update my iphone4 pls help me

HT204053 How can I change my "Alternate Apple ID"?

I was reviewing my Apple ID and Security Questions when I noticed that in addition to my "primary Apple ID" that I use, there is an "Alternate Apple ID" listed. It says on the Apple Security page that the Alternate ID can access all of the data that my Primary Apple ID can. There is no option to delete or change it. Does any know how to get the Alternate ID of my account?
Thanks, James

Hi James,
OK, wow - I was not aware of this Alternate Apple ID, but did some reasearch on your question, and saw some masked screen prints with an Alternate ID on it....apparently this is relatively new....I've never seen it before, so thanks for teaching me something new!
So, from the reasearch I did it indicates that the alternate ID should be an @me.com (or maybe @icloud.com?) ID? If so, you cannot delete it. Here's an exerpt from an earlier post from jerome.Serpenti:
"When you create an AppleID with an existing mail address (let's say [email protected]) you have the option to, next to this, create an iCloud mail address (or, in the past a me.com mail address/mac.com mail address). You do this by going to iCloud on one of your devices and activating the mail tab. This will allow you to create such a mail address and this mail address is then linked to your account as both an active, working mail address and an AppleID alias that you can use to login to all of Apple's services.
This mail address, however, has to be new - it can't be existing"
So your Alternate ID was created when you set up your new Apple ID. Does that correspond with what you are seeing?
This makes sense to me because I have both an @me.com and an @icloud.com address. The @icloud.com address was automatically created for me, and exisits as a separate AppleID. I can sign into the Manage My Apple ID screen with it. It duplicates all of the information on my primary AppleID exactly. (it doesn't show up on my Primary screen as an Alternate ID because when I set up iCloud, I was using an existing AppleID - my @me.com one).
Does this info help with your question? Sorry - just learning this now myself, so only sharing what I was able to dig up.... All very interesting, though!
Cheers,
GB

Apple does not repair devices beyond replacing the screen on some models or a battery replacement. They replace the ENTIRE device.
For the Out of Warranty replacement cost, you could have gotten a fully functional replacement device. Instead you chose to spend less to get only the screen replaced and continue to live with additional issues.
Apple will not touch the device now. They will know that it was opened elsewhere and that the replacement screen is not original.

How can I change the number in iMessage send and receive on my iPhone 5c that is gray?

I recently bought a iphone 5c and when I activate it, the imessage automatically set the number in send and receive, but the funny thing is the number that is registered is my number in another network and is grayed out, How can I change the number to the sim that I'm using in the phone?

HI,
As far as I can tell you cannot delete the ID when Only one is listed.
This would suggest that you have to add the second (Correct) one and then delete the first (wrong) one.
I can't say I have tried this yet.

HT204053 I want to change the apple ID for iCloud in my iPhone so that it's the same ID used with my iPad and Mac. When I go to settings and iCloud in the iPhone, it won't let me change the current apple ID - how can I do this?

I'm hoping to sync iCal via my four apple devices through the iCloud.
Unfortunately, I used two different Apple IDs when setting up the iCloud accounts on the devices.
How can I change the Aplle ID associated with my iPhone so that it's the same one used for my iPad and desktop?
When I go to settings and iCloud in the iPhone, the apple ID that appears is greyed-out and will not let me click on it to change it.
Any suggestions?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the other ID. When you delete the account it will prompt you about what to do with the iCloud data. If you need to migrate it and merge it with the data in the new account choose Keep on My iDevice; then choose Merge to upload the data and merge it with the new account. If your data is already in the other account and you don't need to migrate it to the other account, choose Delete from My iDevice.
