    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you can use one iCloud account between multiple devices.
    What do you mean 'change the iCloud user name'.

  • TS4002 how do I change the iCloud account name?

    How do I change the iCloud account name?

    Do you mean the username? The part before the @ in your iCloud email address?
    If so, you can't change it. You can setup a completely new iCloud account under a different AppleID, or you can setup an email alias to your current iCloud account.

  • HT4436 How do I change my iCloud primary account?

    I am trying to change my iCloud primary account and can't find where to do that I have read all the help menus but no luck.

    If you mean you are trying to change the primary email account associated with your iCloud ID, you do that as explained here: Change your Apple ID.  Before doing this, be sure to turn off Find My iDevice on all your iOS devices, and Find My Mac on your Mac.  Then you can change the ID as desired.  After changing it, you will have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, then sign back in with the changed ID, then turn Find My iDevice back on.  On a Mac, you would need to go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the changed ID and re-enable Find My Mac.

    You can't change it in one step. Sign out of the one now on the Mac, sign onto the right one.

  • How do I change my iCloud account name on my iPhone?

    I recently changed my Apple ID while my phone was out being repaired. I've just got it back and restored it from the backup on my computer. Now it won't let me change my Apple ID. It's being ******** and won't let me change the iCloud Account to my new email address and just keeps the old one. Whenever I enter the password for this account it tells me it's wrong. Seriously how many more issues do Apple have to throw at me?

    Thanks Chris, i'm trying to restore my new phone
    Will that still work?
    I backed up my phone this morning on icloud and updated my account name at the same time

  • HT4436 How can I change my Icloud account's name? Do I need to delete the old account and create a new one? And all this without loosing my data...

    I want to create a new email address/additional cloud account and move all my data to the new acccount. How can I do it?

    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
    This will not move your photo stream, however.  If you have photos in photo stream that you haven't backed up anywhere else you will need to save these before deleting the account.  If your computer is syncing with your iCloud account, your can photo stream photos directly to your computer.  If not, open your photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap the share arrow button, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once in the camera roll you can import them to your computer.

  • Had to change my Apple ID because the original email address is no longer valid.  How do I change the iCloud user name on iMac?  I found instructions about signing out of iCloud and signing back end.  It asks questions about contact, etc.

    Had to change Apple ID due to email address no longer valid.  Trying to change id for icloud...saw direction online about signing out of icloud and signing back in...when it ask questions about contacts, photos, etc. being deleted how do I answer those?  That just sort of freaks me out.

    For the ones that give you an option, select the option you want (keep on the Mac or Delete). For the ones that are simply warning you, click on Delete from Mac.
    They will all come back when you sign back on, since all you did was change your existing Apple ID to a new email address. It's the same iCloud account, just with a different name.
    It's the only way to get your updated ID signed onto iCloud.

  • How do I change the icloud account name?

    A member of a mobile me family got their own iCloud account.  The main account holder's name was retained.  This puts the wrong name on all emails.  I have been unable to find the setting to alter the name.

    I too am also having this problem. I have a mobile me master account and my husbands account shows my name when he sends emails. I'm not sure if there is anyway to change this but I would love to know.
    Thanks

    how do i change my icloud account name to my new apple id without losing my pics

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You will need to save your photo stream photos, before you change your iCloud account.
    Navigate to the photo stream album and into the photo sheet view (the one with all the thumbnails), click on the small rectangle with the arrow on it, in the top right corner of the screen and then tap each photo you wish to save. Once you have selected all the photos you want to save, tap the save button at the bottom of the screen and choose a new album to save them into.
    Once you have done all this, you can delete your current iCloud account and enter your new one.

  • HT4865 how do i change my icloud account user ID on my phone?

    How do I change my icloud user name on my iphone?

    Hey CTempleton,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines how to switch your iCloud account on an iOS device. The example is given in the circumstance that you changed your Apple ID, however the same applies for a separate account:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    - If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    - If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    1. Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    2. Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I don't remember my old Apple ID and I closed my email account that I was using for my old Apple ID. Now, how can I change my icloud id on my Ipad. The old icloud id is still on my Ipad.

    ChrisJ4203,
    Thank you for the help.  Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID.  I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone.  In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one.  My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID.  Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I  agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.
