HT4859 My iCloud does not allow me to change my user email account. How can I change to a new email account and restore my iCloud?

I was recently hacked so I had to change to another email account and now iCloud won't let me back up because it is still only allowing the old email acct to be the main one. How can I switch to a new email account for my iCloud?

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")
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)

I have 2 icloud accounts how can I see them both on my macbook and iphone?

iCloud doesn't have anything to do with texts or phone calls. Those are both tied to your phone number and SIM, not to an iCloud account.

Because Adobe has taken the stance, within Lightroom, that it will not touch files on card. Your card serves as a fail-safe backup in the event of disaster.
Ejecting a card has no effect on your images and is allowed so that you can removed the card without intervention of the OS.
After you've ensured image fidelity and backup, accepted best practice is to reformat your card in-camera. Trust me, I don't want to be on this forum answering questions about why someone lost their files because they "moved" them. This has been debated many times on the forum.

Part of Photoshop isn't functioning. Under adjustments, when HDR toning is clicked on I get a code: Error 48: File or folder does not exist. Line:11 - $.evalFile(g_StackScriptFolderPath "StackSupport.jsx"); How can it be fixed?

The phone company was here working on something while I was gone. They sat down at my computer (iMac) and since then HDR toning doesn't work. Get the code: Error 48: File or folder does not exist. Line: 11 -> $.evalFile(g_StacScriptFolderPatch + "StackSupport.jsx"); How can this be fixed?

Go to //Applications/Adobe Photoshop [Version]/Presets/ Scripts/Stack Scripts Only/ and see if StackSupport.jsx is there. If it is not, uninstall and reinstall Photoshop to have it added back in. If it is there, first try recreating the Photoshop Preferences (hold down Command+Option+Shift while launching Photoshop).

I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
please help :-(

That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

Start by rebooting the computer. If that doesn't work, search for adobefnt*.lst and delete all instances where * becomes a 2-digit number.

if it still gives that message, you need to take it to apple store or apple service provider to have a new card installed. the apple site gives listings of providers and stores in your area:

After I converted to OS5, the iCloud user name on my iPad is set to my email address, not my iCloud User ID. How can I change it. It's correct on my iPhone and MacBook.

You'll need to save the documents first from the incorrect iCloud account, sign out then sign in to the correct iCloud account and upload the documents to that account.

There has never been a facetime app on the iphone.
As the manual says, you access from contacts. Pick a contact and scroll down to the facetime button

I have two ipods in my house that were set up under the same email. I have since assigned two different emails. How can I change the game center account so that is not shared by both ipods because it is for two different users and they are not happy?

By "game center account", do you mean Apple ID?
If so, you can change it.
1. Tap settings and navigate to iTunes and App Stores
2. Tap "Apple ID" and then tap "Sign Out"
3. Log in with a different ID.
