HT5621 Id/Username for Icloud on Ipad

I changed my email in icloud online but can't change it on my ipad. Tried going under settings on the ipad and deleting the old icloud account, but it asks me to sign in to turn off find my phone (which still shows my old icloud id).
Was able to change it for Itunes - but ipad won't allow you to simply change the username that automatically pops up to sign in.
Advice is greatly appreciated!

Go to appleID.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the old one. Then delete the account in settings on your device. Then go back to appleID.apple.com and change back to current email.

Can't verify email for iCloud on iPad or Mac

can't verify email for iCloud on iPad or Mac / not getting email (I've apple ID)

I have seen this issue brought up many times here in the community and decided to share my experience. I too could get verification. I had an AppleId before iCloud, it was used for Apple Store purchases. I made sure that the email I was using for the ID was not the same as what I was using for the ICloud ID. Next I signed in to my ICloud ID at
Appleid.apple.com
I changed my email to a secondary e-mail I had. It was a gmail account.
I then verified that email address by logging into gmail and responding to email sent by apple.
I logged back into iCloud account and added an additional email to my account. I added the email that previously wasn't receiving the verification.
I then verified that email address by checking and responding to verifying email sent by apple.
I then logged back into iCloud account. Both emails I entered were verified. (primary and secondary)
I EDIT ' ed the primary using the secondary email address.
This removed my secondary address and made it my primary.
It was verified previously so I was done.
I went into settings>iCloud and a verifying email was sent.
It worked.
It may seem like a lot to do, but it works.

Paid for icloud, but ipad keep saying can't verify account. Does anyone know where to get help on how to verify?

I have an iphone 5 and ipad. I paid for icloud. I "think" iphone is okay but ipad keep saying can't verify account. I can't change that. I have been sent to the page on apple about setting up icloud but that doesn't help. There is no place for me to fix my account or change anything. Anyone know what to do? The apple support page doesn't answer my question. If just has instructions to set up, but I can't get anywhere on the ipad since it keeps telling me account not verified.

Welcome to the Apple community.
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.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Change apple ID for iCloud on iPad

I need to change the Apple ID for iCloud on my iPhone 5 and my iPad 2. I can clear the password but it doesn't give me am option to clear the Apple ID under Settings>iCloud Account Information.

Hi Friend,
Delete the account (in Settings>iCloud), then set up a new account using her ID. If you need to migrate any iCloud data to the new account, be sure to choose "Keep on My iDevice" when prompted about what to do with the iCloud data; then when setting up the new account, to merge the data with the new account be sure to choose Merge.
Hope it helps

Changing my username for icloud

How do I change my username for I cloud I already changed my username for my apple Id but it did not change for the iCloud account

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.

HT204053 How to set up E-Mail for ICloud on IPad

Hoe do I change Password for Email set up
for ICloud ?

It depends on what PDF viewer you're using. For example, if you include a digital signature field, it will behave like a e-signature field in Readdle's PDF Expert. Adobe Reader for iOS has a feature that lets you create a signature by drawing with you finger and applying it wherever you want. PDF Expert has this feature too, so there's not really anything special you need to do apart from informing your users which PDF viewer works best with the form. Note that some don't support form features at all, while others have limited support, particularly for JavaScript.

How do I put the correct e-mail as my username for icloud on my iPhone?

If it's an IMAP or Exchange account, the messages are stored on the server, and you don't have to move them. If it's a POP account and you removed the messages from the server, ask for instructions.

HT204053 Question changing apple Id for iCloud on iPad

I set up my sisters iPad the other day. I was testing out the iCloud function. And I entered my own iCloud Apple ID. Unfortunately, I can now not change that. So, she is having to use my iCloud account. I need to be able to change the setting on the iPad to her iCloud account. How do I do that?

HT203808 Wrong email for iCloud on ipad after upgrade to iOS7

The iCloud account on my iPad has an old Apple ID. (my iPhone - newer - has the correct one) The email no longer exists - and what I think the password was doesn't work. I followed the steps on the help menu - of signing out of accounts, then resigning in and then tried to delete the account. It continues to ask me for a password linked to the old ID. As the apple ID doesn't exist anymore - nor that email - resetting that password is not an option. That account doesn't show up anywhere to be deleted. Any suggestions on how to get that email/ID deleted?

If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then 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 and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was. You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so. You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).
