  • How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? Because of the update on apple ID, when I try to delete icloud account I have to put in the password, and it says username or password is invalid (because no longer apple ID).

    How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? When I try to delete icloud account (in settings-icloud-delete account) I have to put in the password for the apple ID of my old email address, which is no longer my apple ID, and it says username or password is invalid (I'm guessing because that is no longer my apple ID).

    You will wait for the rest of your life. You need to fix it; no one else will. To turn off "Find my iPhone" and its associated Activation Lock you need the Apple ID and password that were used to turn it on. If you know the Apple ID you can contact Apple Account Security and have them reset the password (after you prove you are the rightful owner of that Apple ID). see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
    If you don't know the Apple ID the phone is permanently unusable.

  • How to change icloud email? It wasn't me who made it. So every time I used my Apple ID is linked to that email?

    How to change icloud email? It wasn't me who made it. So every time I used my Apple ID is linked to that email?

    Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change that address (short of creating an entirely new account).
    However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.

  • HT204053 I was using my husbands iCloud email. How do I change iCloud email to my iTunes email

    I was using my husbands email address and iCloud and want to change to my address. I've changed iTunes but can't change iCloud email. Any ideas on how to change it

    It only deletes it from your device, not from iCloud.  This won't effect his account of device(s).  W
    Also, when you delete the account you will be asked if you want to Keep or Delete the iCloud data.  If you need to migrate a copy of the data to your new account, choose Keep, then choose Merge after signing back in with your new ID to upload the data to your new account.
    Deleting the account will delete the photo stream photos from your device.  If you want to keep them, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (square with up arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • Forgot to sign out of old id and changed icloud email address and cant sign out of find my phone

    I have a iphone 4s and changed icloud email address and forgot to sign out of find my phone. How can I turn it off to change to the new email address that I changed in icloud?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going 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 iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished 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.

  • Change iCloud Email ID

    i have succesfully changed my Apple ID, as I left the company associated to this email ID (NEVER use work email for your Apple ID !).  How on earth do i now change the User Name ID previously set up with the old User Name/Email ID on my iCloud ID.....
    ...It tells me I cannot log in as User Name & Password are incorrect (obviously as I have changed the Apple ID), but only gives me the opportunity to enter my password and not the option to change the User ID/Email....
    ....HELP !?!

  • Changing icloud email adress in icloud profile

    Hi, I know there is much on this subject on this forum but i can't find an answer to this specifically.
    I want to keep my original iCloud profile
    Originally I created an iCloud email adress and associated it with my iCloud account as an Alternative Email Adress
    Then realised my full name was available as an email address in iCloud so I wanted that email instead
    I tried to create the availble email address as a secondary address in my primary iCloud account but could't find a way.
    Then I simpy created a new iCloud profile creating the preferred new email address e.g. [email protected]
    The new iCloud profile is empty of course, as my real profile is another account
    So I figure I can  merge the iCLoud profiles - is there a way?
    Or I could simply associate the new address as an Alternate Email Address with my primary iCloud account
    And here's the problem with suggestion in point 8!
    As you can see below the new email address, which I own, is seen as someone else's email address. 
    How can I associate this new email address [email protected] with my primary icloud account???

    I'm afraid you've boxed yourself into a corner by creating a new iCloud account with the address you wanted. That address is now permanently tied as the main address in the new account and there is nothing you can do to change it. You could have created an alias using that address in the older account, as suggested above, but now that option isn't available to you.
    What you can do is to move over to using the new iCloud account, manually transferring your data to it. If you are also using the original address as the login for iTunes you will have to stick with that as purchases can't be moved from one account to another, but there's no problem about having different logins for iCloud and iTunes.

  • Change iCloud email in iMessage/Facetime

    A few weeks ago I changed my iCloud email address and I haven't found any trouble changing it everywhere EXCEPT for iMessage/Facetime..
    When I go on my iPhone to Messages > Send & Receive > Use your Apple ID for iMessage
    I keep getting the pop up that wants me to enter the Apple ID password for my PREVIOUS email address.
    - If I give in the old password to my new icloud email address it DOESN'T WORK
    - If I give in the new password to my new icloud email address it DOESN'T WORK
    - If I keep giving in the wrong password (for 5-6 times) it just says I need to reset the password to THAT OLD ICLOUD EMAIL ADDRESS.
    I'm getting tired of this, why can't I just change the email address? I mean I see the box to change it but then EVERY SINGLE TIME the pop up goes over it and asks for that password...
    Help please? This is really frustrating!

    Hi RaniDHulster,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Since both the Messages and Facetime apps are tied to your Apple ID, the first step is to sign out of these two apps and update the Apple ID information.  Then you should be able to turn the apps on again in Settings and enter the corrected Apple ID.  The links below will explain:
    Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
    Before you change your Apple ID:
    Sign out of all Apple features and services that you use with your current Apple ID.
    Make sure that the email address you want to use for your Apple ID meets these conditions:
    The email address is one that you use regularly, because it will be the primary email address for your Apple ID.
    The email address is not associated with any other Apple ID.
    The email address is not an iCloud email address, which is already an Apple ID. iCloud email addresses end with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.
      Click on My Apple ID to access and edit your account.
    The link below will help you get in contact with our Apple ID account security team if you need more help:

  • Mavericks change iCloud email credntials?

    Hi,
    Recently updated to Mavericks and also had to switch to a new email address. So I changed my email from
    [email protected] to [email protected] and made apple aware of that in regards to it being my new
    appleid and icloud id, BUT Mavericks is still asking to login to iclould using the old charter.net account!
    I tried under User and Groups in the settings to updated that but its still asking for the old [email protected]
    icloud account. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks.
    PS: Real email address not disclosed for privacy.

    hi, so I was having the same problem. Then I figure it out. You have to choose the option sign out. Then you sign in again with the new email address. It worked for me! Hope it helps, cheers!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    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")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another 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.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.
