HT5621 Change I cloud to match apple user and password
I would like to change I cloud user and pass word, how do I do this
If you mean on your phone, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.

My iPhone is using my work email to sign in to the cloud, but my apple id and password are with my "personal" email address. I can't get rid of my "work" email address on my iPhone 4S
Hi Sister Kate,
If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -

The app store on my laptop is asking for my husband's apple id and password to update my apps, but he is not a user on my computer. How do I change that? The apple id email is grayed out, so I cannot select it.
Delete and redownload those applications.

I use Earthlink for email but want to change. What else do Apple-users like? I use MBA mid 2012 and iPod 5 touch. Concerns are email security and ease of changing pswds.
Apple has made several well-publicised statements regarding their commitment to privacy and the security of their various iCloud services. If they were to fall short of a goal they stated so prominently for so long, it would have a material effect on the company's value, not to mention being extremely embarrassing. I think they're pretty serious about it.
Like anything else though, iCloud is as secure as the passwords you use. To change your iCloud password read iCloud: Change your iCloud account password. -
I cloud will not accept my apple id and password on my laptop. I have changed the password twice trying to make it work. What to do now?
IF your imessage is saying waiting for activation then do this:
backup your phone to itunes or icloud.
then on your phone go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipe your phone clean.
once the process is done, you can restore from the backup you made, then you should be able to activate your imessage. -
I changed my email address and therefore changed my Apple ID and password on my Mac. Now when i want to use iCloud on my iPad and my iPhone my old email comes up as my Apple ID and I cant log in or update any apps on my iPhone or iPad. Can you help me?

HT5621 Want to change apple ID and password on 2nd Ipad to the one on my 1st Ipad.
I have read the directions for how to set up an IPad but there is a problem. I have 2 Ipads, one for work, and I set them up differently with different Apple IDs and passwords. Now I find out you can't buy extras for Apps you've already bought if you're using different IDs. YOu have to buy the App again for the 2nd Ipad.
How do I change the ID and password on my 2nd IPad to the one I use on my first IPad? I know how to change one or the other, but don't know how to change both at the same time.Log out of iTunes on your second iPad and log in with the Apple id you use on the first iPad. The only minor issue will be that any purchases you made with the second Apple id will be locked to that id, and you will have to use that password to update apps.
Have a nice day. -
My apple ID been disable for the past 3 days. i followed the direction of changing my apple ID and password on i=tune account also i changed the icloud account and my apple id is still disable. hoping you could help me out to activate my account. thank you and have a good evening...
All apps are DRM protected & tied to the account used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using another iTunes account/Apple ID, nor can they be transferred to another iTunes account/Apple ID. You'll have to contact iTunes support, explain the situation & request they add your apps to the download queue of your new Apple ID:

How can I get my original i-tunes to show up on my macbook pro? I changed my Apple ID and password and now it's nowhere to be found. Can someone help me?
ThanksWhen you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer? Your iTunes library does not have an email address. An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases. Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID. In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password). That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost.
NOTE: If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID.
For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details. -
Just setting up iCloud on my iMac 10.9.2, my problem is when trying to sign out/off from iCloud it comes up with a verification code that is being sent to my land line, I'd changed the numbers in my Apple ID and they show as changed but the land line number still shows as number that the verification code is being sent, I prompt "Don't have access to this phone" and that's no help at all. The only way I can sign out /off from iCloud is to uncheck everything that I wanted to keep in the cloud????
Thanks in advance for any help.Skip the iCloud sign in for now.
Once you reach the home page, go to settings and sign out of FaceTime and Messages. This should also sign you out of iCloud.
Go to iCloud in settings and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
If that does not work
Skip the iCloud sign in
Go to Apple ID.apple.com and sign in
Change your Apple ID to the old one
Delete iCloud account on your device with the old Apple ID and the same password.
Go back to the website, change your Apple ID back to the current one. You will receive an email to verify the account. Verify first.

Hi,
I have sold an iPhone 4S, I thought it was fully erased but it wasn't, it had find my iPhone on and the user is being prompted to enter apple ID and password. I went onto Apple account and removed device from find my iPhone and erased. Still says the same thing to the buyer. I have changed my password for Apple ID and then called them and they have entered the password but it doesn't work. Tried the old one that doesn't work either. \
Any ideas.
Very grateful to hear from anyone.There is never a reason to give someone your Apple ID password. Period.
If you've removed the device from the Find My iPhone section of www.icloud.com, then it's not activation locked. They need to restore the device as new and set it up with their own information.
Immediately change your Apple ID password and also update your security questions. You may also want to change the primary email address of your Apple ID.

I had to change my Apple ID and password. Now when I try to download or buy an app it says your Apple ID is disabled. How can I fix this?
If it says "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons", then you will just need to change you password by following these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2446
If it does not says "...for security reasons" you will have to contact the iTunes Store to have your account 'un-disabled' http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

Because of a nasty virus on my computer I had to change my apple ID and password. When I went to update my apps. on my I phone 4s the box said I need to sign in to I tunes. The ID it had in the box was my old apple ID and I can't remember the password. I can't find any where in my phone settings that will let me change my I tunes ID although I have a new apple ID and password that I used to get on this site but I can't change it on my phone. Please help.
ThanksChrisJ4203,
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.
