HT4864 How can I change my iCloud email to my AppleID email they are not the same

How can I change my iCloud email to my AppleID email? They are not the same and somehow were switched by my teenage daughter. I can access the account and change anything except my iCloud eMail account.

Hi itsjeffb,
If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like your daughter may have set up an alias account under iCloud. Your AppleID email address may or may not be the same as you iCloud email address, depending on how it was set up. The following articles provide more information about iCloud email addresses and how aliases work under iCloud:

How can I change my icloud username to my new email address?

Hi
How can I change my iCloud username to my new email address?
I've registered my new email address on My Apple ID but it has not changed on my new Macbook Pro
Any ideas how to change this for good across all devices?
Thanks
Amy

have a look at this document, to see which services need updating across your devices, after you changed the AppleID:

Can I copy my bookmarks from Safari to Firefox if they are on the same computer?

I would like to use Firefox and I want to '''copy''' the bookmarks I have in Safari. I have a Mac with OS10.6 and both Safari and Firefox are on the same computer. I want to know if Firefox is more friendly since I do a lot of writing.

You should update to Firefox 6.0.1 through Help > About > Check for updates
before testing rather than be disappointed with a Firefox update after testing.
All browsers can use the Netscape bookmarks formatted HTML file to copy bookmarks. But according to documentation you can import directly from Safari. Hopefully that applies to your Mac, because it is not shown as an option for me on Windows 7.
'''Import bookmarks''' - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks#From_Safari
"'''Firefox imports Safari settings automatically'''. Just go to File > Import... and select Safari. In the next window, check the boxes of what you want to import. For example, your Safari Bookmarks will appear in Firefox's Bookmarks menu as "From Safari." Whatever other bookmarks you had on your Safari Bookmarks Bar will automatically appear on your Firefox Bookmarks Bar, too. "
If that does not work:
:'''Exporting Bookmarks from Safari:''' (from Safari Help)
# Choose File > Export Bookmarks.
# Specify a location for the exported file. The file's name will be "Safari bookmarks.html." Most browsers are able to import this type of file.
'''Importing Bookmarks into Firefox:'''
#"Command+Shift+B" to bring up Bookmarks Library List, can be done from Bookmarks menu > "Show all bookmarks"
# "Import and Backup" menu > Import HTML > From an HTML file
#: (unless you see From Safari)
Firefox uses the same keyboard shortcut to display menus as used on Safari (on a PC it is the "Alt" key).
Firefox is highly customizable, so you can change the appearance, and a lot of what would be done in other browsers must be done using extensions in Firefox, but the extensions for the "same" feature probably give you a lot more functionality and control. In the following making Firefox look more like 3.6 would be of interest if you are used to other older browsers -- Safari grew up independently so other browsers are more alike.
You can make '''Firefox 6.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional. (later on)
'''Keyboard Shortcuts:'''
* Firefox Support Home Page | Firefox Help<br>Adapts to your system, but a very limited number of shortcuts are shown<br>https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts
* Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)<br>Long list of shortcuts but Windows oriented, most other systems use similar <br>http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm

HT5621 How do I change my icloud apple id? I want to make it the same as my other apple id I use on iTunes.

I want to make my icloud account have the same apple id as my itunes account. My son created it under his email and I don't see an option to change it to mine. Whe I go into setting icloud, I am not able to select his email to change it.

Settings > iCloud > Delete Account. You are then given the option to keep contacts etc. Sign in with the Apple ID you want to use. Sign out of iCloud on your computer if you have it.

How can I have my iCloud account and my wife's synchronizing photos in the same PC?

I have only one PC at home, but I have my iPhone and my wife has yours.
We want to have our iCloud shared photos in the same PC, but iCloud control center just allow to configure one account.

iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Thus, there are no previous backups from 1 or 2 days ago unless you restored your phone & backed up before you restored. Restore point backups are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.

How can I copy and paste a caption for several pictures that are all the same?

I'm trying to understand the process of importing, labeling and organizing pictures I'm importing from my iPhone into iPhoto 11.
So far I am importing only pictures that relate to one another; ie taken at the same event. I have 18 pictures from one hike. I'd like to label each of those pictures the same; ie "hike at Bear Creak 2/15." Can I copy and paste the same label to all 18 pictures? How would I copy and paste?
There are lots of You Tube videos on the subject of iPhoto and that's how I learn best. If you know of a really basic one to watch I'd appreciate it.
I think I have to take a class at the Apple Store on this basic organizing because it's really escaped me in the 9 months I've had this Mac (switched from PC.)
Thanks,
Ginny

Ginny,
select all 18 photos at once in iPhoto on your Mac and then use the menu entry "Photos > Batch Change"
That will change the titles or descriptions of all photos at once.

How do i change the amount of time for slides in a keynote presentation so they are not the same

how do i vary the times for the slides in a keynote presentation, i have 3 videos i need to run longer and the slides I want to run the same

Is this for an unattended presentation?
1. If not, the option would seem to be:
Manually advance the slides containing the videos or
set the transition delay time to the next slide to occur after the video completes using the
Slide > Transition Inspector > Delay (max delay is 600 seconds so if video is longer than 10 minutes, an automatic delay wouldn't work)
2. If you plan this to be unattended your best bet is to compile it in iMovie and have a looping video with all parts timed in the video to your liking.

My ipad with retina display can't find my epson artisan 730 wireless printer. They are on the same network and printer's wireless connection is excellent. What are the steps to fix this?

My imac won't pick up the printer either. Even after I updated it's software. My ipad is new. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

No change. The printer still doesn't show up on my devices even though they are all on the same network. On the printer's connection print out the connection reads Pass and that the network is working correctly. However, then it states "*A router/access point channel conflict has been detected. If you have problems printing or scanning, Improve your wireless network environment." "*If the problems persist, see your documentation for help and networking tips."
I've gone through all the documentation and still can't figure out what the problem is. I've had the router checked out by my building and they claim everything is in order. I have a excellent signal.

I have 2 iPads and want to change the user I'd on one of them so they are not the same

How do you get a new Apple ID for one of two ipads

You realize that you will not be able to share the apps that you have already purchased with the one ID on the iPad that you want to use with a new ID, don't you? Apps, music, books, movies .... All purchases are tied to the ID that was used to make the purchase.
my advice is don't do it. If there is some real compelling reason why you need to do this like you are giving the iPad to someone else, that's another story.

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.

How can I change my icloud email details and password on icloud

how can I change my icloud email details and password on my iphone 5s tried all day without success, I have changed my apple ID and password thats okay.
Joan

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.

hello guys ...i need any help or suggestions, how can i change my icloud email address?? i typed a w rong name by mistake?? can i change it and retype the correct one? thanks ...your suggestio is higly appreciated.

That's definitely not supposed to happen. You shouldn't have someone else's iCloud email linked to your ID.
You'll have to get iCloud support to sort this one out. The only way to contact them is to start here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/. You'll have to provide your iPhone serial number. Unless it's within the 90 day free support window, or you purchased AppleCare, there will be a charge. I suppose you can plead your case when they answer that you shouldn't be charged as you didn't set up this address and it shouldn't have happened with your ID.

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)
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 > iTunes & App 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.

How can I change my iCloud ID email?

Please follow these steps in order to change your iCloud ID.
(Please note that @mac.com, @me.com and @icloud.com email addresses as primary iCloud ID could not be changed.)
Start with signing out of iCloud on all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - (iOS: "Settings > iCloud", Mac: "System Preferences > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway).
After that go to http://appleid.apple.com sign in with your current iCloud ID and now change your Apple ID (iCloud ID) to your new email address.
Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.
