I changed my apple ID and can't use my iCloud

I recently changed my apple ID and I logged in on my iPhone and Macbook Pro on iMessage and Facetime and everything works smoothly except iCloud on my phone. It still registers my old apple id and asks for a password, but it doesn't accept my old password nor my new one. And it's greyed out on the selection on General > iCloud so I can't change it and there's no "Delete Account" button that everyone suggests.
How do I go through this?

Return to the old apple id login. Login using this same apple id as that which is logged into your icloud account.
Once you have logged in with this apple id, your icloud account should then be available. Once your icloud account is available you then can delete the icloud account. Once deleted you then will log out of the old apple id login in and login with the new apple id. Once logged in you then can add a new icloud account.
(remember to save data from deleted icloud account)
Good luck .

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. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go 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.

HT204053 I just changed my apple ID, how can I make my icloud link up with my new ID?

I just changed my apple ID, how can I make my icloud link up with my new ID?

Did you simply change the primary email address of your existing AppleID at
https://appleid.apple.com/
Or, did you create a new AppleID. If you created a new AppleID, then you cannot. All you can do is use the iCloud with the old AppleID, or create a new iCloud account with the new AppleID.
If you changed the primary email address of the exisitng AppleID, you may need to uninstall the iCloud account on the iPhone and reinstall it to get it to use the new email address and password (you won't loose anything, its just there a means of resetting the cached credentials associated with the iCloud account).

Changed Apple ID and can't use icloud

okay, so basically today I changed my Apple ID and password. hours after changing it, my iMessage was not working. turns out my icloud is no longer working since I change my Apple ID. in icloud settings, it says my old Apple ID and it is greyed out and I can't change it. I have read that changing my Apple ID BACK to my original ID and password, and then deleting my icloud account, then switching my ID again would work. the problem is, that email for my old ID is "inactive" meaning I can't get emails, or the verification one. when I had tried that, because I couldn't get the verification emailI called apple and he said give it 24 hours to update, but from what I'm reading, that won't work. I also do not remember my security questions since they were made years ago, and my rescue email or whatever it is called is also inactive. I keep getting a pop up to log into icloud with my apple ID, and it asks for the password for my OLD ID, which obviously will not work since I changed it. I think I might be stuck here.

You need to do the following:
1.     Log into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID using the EDIT button back to your old email address. This is temporary. Do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on Delete Account. Type in your current Apple ID password when asked, and follow the prompts to delete the iCloud account
3.     Sign out of Messages: go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, click on your Apple ID, and then on Sign Out
4.     Sign out of FaceTime: go to Settings>FaceTime, click on your Apple ID and then on Sign Out
5.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and sign in with the old Apple ID and your current password. Change the Apple ID back to the new email address. You may need to verify it again
6.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your new ID
7.      Do the same with Messages and FaceTime
Cheers,

Changed my apple id and can't change icloud to new id

i recently changed my apple id and when i try to update icloud on one of my devices, it says that apple id is incorrect, but of course, there's no opportunity to change it. any way to be able to choose the apple id i want to use for icloud on my iphone?

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.

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.

Changed my apple id now can't access my icloud acct. not the same password and I don't know it

Can't access my icloud acct to back up data to another phone. I am the primary and until I can access my icloud account the other phone won't back up. How do I access my icloud password. I have changed my apple id password 4 times and still no success. Now my apple id is now incorrect. Yikes! I have had a call with Technical security and they are puzzled as well. Couldn't help me... is there anyone that has had this issue?

If you changed the password for your AppleID, the only way to change that on an iOS device is to delete the iCloud account, then add it back with the new/updated login credentials. It sounds awkward (well, it is I guess), but you just need to do that - delete the iCloud account then add it back.

I mirror my iphone 4s to my Apple TV and can't use my headphones straight to the iphone 4s. Is there a way to avoid running a really long cable to the tv jack?

I think apple may have overlooked that alot of people watch tv with headphones on, it would have been really good to mirror the iphone 4s and use the headphone jack on the iphone 4s to run the headphones.
I'm the kind of person who walks about when watching tv, not everyone in my family wants it on so it would have been great to just listen to it through the iphone.
At the moment I am faced with having to use a really long cable to the tv which just isn't going to work.
Have I missed something here, I have gone through the settings on the iphone to see if I can find a way around this?
With thanks,
Nicko Nick

I've changed my Apple ID and need to update my iCloud profile. How do I do this?

I've had to change my Apple ID to an alternate email address but cn't see how I change the profile and details for iCloud. Resonably new to the Mac so an idiots guide would be helpful. Thanks guys.

Contact the number you used to set up the collection from Apple

I changed my Apple account and still can't update my applications

I changed my apple id and can't update my applications as my old apple ID is still appear once I'm trying to update it

Your apps are actually tagged with whatever ID you used when you first downloaded them. That ID will be the only one that can update the app because it is the one that "purchased" the app. You can always reset the password for the old ID using iforgot.apple.com if needed.
Free apps can also be deleted and then downloaded using the new ID if you won't lose too much data. Downloading the app again using the new ID will add the app to the purchase history of your new ID so you can update it using that password from now on.

I had to change my Apple ID and password, but now when I try to download anything new it says my Apple ID is disabled. What can I do to fix this?

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/
Good Luck.

I had to change my apple ID and password. When I want to update my aps. on my I phone 4S I get a box that says I need to sign in to I tunes. It has my old apple ID and I can't find any way on my phone to change the address it has in the box. Help!!

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.
Thanks

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.

icloud just keeps bringing up my old email address & asking for my old password which doesn't exist anymore and when I try to sign out of icloud it wants my old password, when I tried to change my primary email back to the old one it wants me to verify it through an email address that doesn't exist. Please can you help me sort out this nightmare.

Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

I can't use my password to open icloud. I changed my apple password and it still won't work with icloud

Thanks

Sorry to ask but... are you absolutely certain you have entered your Apple ID and account password correctly?
If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud and the iTunes store, see if you are able to log into the iTunes store from either your computer or your iPod.

I have changed my apple id, and its ok when i sync my Iphone with Itunes, but ON my Iphone still my old apple-ID is there. I can NOT buy things from Itunes or Upgrade anything now, how to fix this?

I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices.
