HT4436 Changing email address for my Apple ID for iCloud

Hi,
I am wondering how to change the email address under my iCloud account. My sister logged into my itunes account under my Id and setup an iCloud account. Now everytime I try to log into iCloud I get all of her backup data. How can I remove her email address and setup under mine.
Thanks

Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices).  then log back in using your account.  Of course if your sister has taken over your account, then you need to log her off your account and back in using her account.

  • Impossible to change email address in my Apple ID account

    Helle everyone,
    I need to change my email adress on my apple ID account because I don't use this email anymore (let's call this email address: "#1"), but when I enter my new email adress (let's call this address: "#2") it says "this email adress (#2) is already used by an another apple ID account".
    So I try to connect myself with this email address (#2) and indeed I find that I did create an account under this email adress a long time ago, so I modify everything in the account, including the email adress to an old one I don't use anymore, and clear everything (because you can't delete the account apparently).
    Then I log back to my other account logging in with my #1 address, and try to change my email address in the account by changing it to the new email address (#2), but it STILL says "this email address  (#2) is used by another account) !!!
    So I try to log on to my apple ID using this email address (#2) but it says "the email address or the password is incorrect". Of course it's incorrect because I juste deleted it to use it elsewhere !!!
    Any suggestions to be able to use my real email address (#2) ??? Sorry if this is confusing but I tried to clarify a bit using #1 and #2
    Thanks !

    Everything that you bought with the old Apple ID requires that ID to be redownloaded, updated and to authorize your Mac s, PCs and iOS devices for use of the content. If you change the Apple ID on your iPad, you cannot change it back for 90 days.
    Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap your old Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign back in with the new Apple ID.

  • Will my purchases remains if I change email address on my Apple ID

    I have an Apple ID. If I change the primary address on that ID will all my purchase remains? If I simplify my question: when I change the emaill adress on my Apple ID will it be a new Apple ID or is it the old one and only the email address changes?
    What shall I think about when I do the change? Does the calender sharing remains etc?
    Kind regards Fredrik

    If you login at https://appleid.apple.com/ under the MANAGE option wiith your current AppleID email and password, and change it there, then yes, your entire purchase history will follow your changes. You can change any of the information there and your account (the internal Apple account linked to that AppleID) remains unchanged and tracks with your ID changes. Note that you cannot use another email already in use as a primary AppleID email, nor can you use any Apple issued email address since those are Appleids by default.

  • I have changed my Apple ID so that it would reflect my new email address. My Apple devices and icloud info do not display my new ID, even though I use the new one to log into iTunes, etc.  How can I get this problem resolved so that I might feel confident

    After changing my Apple ID I do not seem to be able to recognize it as my proper ID. It does work properly for an iTunes login and password, but, it is not displayed that way on my device when I look at my iCloud settings and other "system level" settings.
    How do I correct this to be confident that I can use a feature, such as "Find My iPhone" and know that the functions and contact info is correct?

    To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.

  • Found strange email address using my apple account for iMessage

    Upon upgrading my iOS devices, I found a strange email account was using my apple id account for iMessage

    Thanks Demo!
    I know that last sentence makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER. I was dozing off when I made this post. What I was trying to say was: "The frustration of not being able to uniquely identify which device is being used is driving me to drink!" Ha Ha
    Thanks again for your input!

  • Changing Email Address

    Hello,
    I just changed my email address and apparently Apple ID for iTunes to a new email account that I created, but am now finding that my new email account isn't working. When I tried to change it back to my old email it said that that Apple ID was already in use. I would like to recieve my recepits and updates from Apple with my OLD email address, how do I get it back as my Apple ID?

    Sorry - my knowledge of the Apple ID/email process is very limited.
    You'll have to wait for someone who has more info. We're all just users here, answering questions that are within our own individual knowledge sphere (one hopes).

  • TS3988 Can someone please help me?   I have an Iphone 5 and Love it except for one thing. I changed  email address from yahoo to Gmail and updated it on my Apple ID at Apple.  Apple recognizes and accepts this change but Icloud won't update the new email

    I have an Iphone 5 and Love it.  Except for one thing;  I recently changed from ymail email account to a gmail account. I updated it on the
    Apple/ Itunes site and it does accept the change.  I can still access the APP store and Itunes. 
    However, sometimes I get a pop up box from Apple showing the old email address and asking me to sign in..... I hit cancel and move on.   But, now Icloud keeps popping up promting me to sign in and it shows the old email which I don't have anymore.... I tried signing in with the old info to clear it off screen of my phone but, it doesn't allow and I hit cancel and it goes away. only to appear later again....  This is so frustrating and annoying.    Is there any way to get the Icloud to update the email address with my Apple ID log in info--without having to delete stuff or lose things on my phone? 
    Please help?  
    Dia

    Thank you for replying.    Yes I deleted the old email address..

    OK...now I appear to 'progressed' I changed my email address back to original on Apple id and then was able to delete icloud account.

  • I have verified my new email address as my Apple ID but my IOS devices keep asking me to sign in to my previous email/Apple ID but have no access to it.  How can I stop or change this?

    I have verified my new email address as my Apple ID but my IOS devices keep asking me to sign in to my previous email/Apple ID but have no access to it.  How can I stop or change this?

    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.  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 back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Why am I getting Emails from Apple in turkish to an Email-address that isn't used for my Apple ID anymore ?

    Hi everybody, I already apologize if this isn't the right community for my problem.This whole thing is very confusing  so I really hope someone can help me
    I used Gmail as my official email account and it was also the Email address for my Apple-ID (for many, many years..)
    Strangely, a few months ago, I got an Email from Apple saying that my Apple-ID was being used for Imessage and Facetime on other devices (in Turkey?). I googled it and found out that it might be a fishing mail so I quickly changed my password and also the Email-adress for my Apple.ID – which means that the Gmail-account was not longer in use for Apple anymore.
    But here's the problem :  I still get Emails from Apple (in Turkish) from time to time to my Gmail- account. They don't seem to be fishing Emails, though.  Another odd thing about that is, that the mails I receive at Gmail don't seem to be addressed to my CORRECT email-address.
    While my adress looks like „[email protected]“ the Itunes mails I receive are addressed to '[email protected]“ .  I hope you know what I mean. There is no point between the names in my real address.
    What could this be and how can I solve this problem ? It's really freaking me out. 
    Thanks,
    D.

  • How do I change just my iCloud email address not my apple ID?

    How do I change just my iCloud email address not my apple ID?

    You CANNOT change your iCloud email address once it is created and associated to you Apple Id (usually it is another email address).  First time you activate iCloud on your device and turn on email setting, you are prompted to create an iCloud email account and after choosing one that is available you are CLEARLY warned that ONCE CREATED YOU iCLOUD EMAIL IT CANNOT BE CHANGED!!!
    Fig.1 Warning if desired iCloud email      Fig. 2. Warning about creating new iCloud
    address is not available                         email which will be associated to you Apple Id
    You have two choices: a) create an alias for that account after you sign in icloud.com using either your apple id or your new created icloud email account (that's what I did) or b) create a new Apple Id (with all the pain it involves)
    I typed an incorrect iCloud email address and was linked to my Apple Id and now I have to live with this forever!?
    The workaround was to create an alias, but I have the feeling that something is wrong with my Apple Id
    All of us might make a petition to apple to allow us to change the 'main' icloud email address.  What if I misspelled it!? How difficult can it be? 
    I hope this be helpful and answer your question.
    P.S. In the same way... once you create your Apple Support Communities USERNAME it cannot be changed too!

  • How can I change the email address of my Apple identifyer?

    I changed email provider*, it affects my apple identifier .  When I buy something it used to send me emails to that old address.  How can I change the email of my identifyer?
    Today i bought something and it said it was the first time I used my machine to buy something and asked for my security questions, but I always bought with my ipad, this is not a new machine.
    * I cancelled my account with Videotron so there is no way I can use the videotron email address anymore ( it was used for my identifyer email address)

    The only email address I see is the name of my apple identifyer.  If I change it to the new address, won't I have 2 identifyer now?  How about everything I have bought on the old email identifyer?
    I think I am misunderstandiing something here...

  • I changed email address, i updated in the manage apple id page, saved info but I cannot get into my iphone because the old email address keep showing up.  How can I get the old address off my iphone??

    Welcome to the Apple community JB.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    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.
    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.
    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.
