I have an apple id for icloud that i want to change on my iMac, how do i do this

i have an apple id for my icloud on imac .....[email protected] and an apple id [email protected] for everything else. How can I edit my imac apple id so it is the same as my other id?

You can't merge accounts, if you start using the gmail account for iCloud by logging out of the me ID in system preferences and back in using the gmail ID, you'll need to copy all your data in calendars etc to the gmail account. you also won't be able to use the me address for mail unless you add the me account as a secondary account at system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars.

  • HT5624 I want to have single Apple ID for icloud. I use only apple phone,ipad

    I want to have single Apple ID and icloud account for iPhone and ipadmini and iPad air.

    Welcome to the Apple community Uday96.
    You don't actually say an awful lot about your current setup, but I'm assuming that you have different Apple ID for iCloud on each of your devices. In which case decide which Apple ID you wish to use on all of them and then delete the others from the other devices.
    (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and tap Delete Account)
    You can then use the details from the Apple ID that you wish to use and enter them into the iCloud account of the devices you have deleted the other accounts from.

  • I have an Apple pro wired keyboard that I want to use with a Windows PC.  It seems to recognize it through plug

    I have an Apple pro wired keyboard that I want to use with a Windows PC.  It seems to recognize it through plug & play, but stops working after a few minutes.  Does anyone know of a fix to this situation?

    Hi,
    Could you explain that again using different words ?
    I am not clear on what it is that you want to do.
    What are you trying to sync ?
    Contacts ?
    Emails ?
    Other info ?
    If it is Mail who do you normally get it and what applications are you using ?
    People also might want to know if it is a POP or IMAP account before they can help.

  • I need to switch my Apple ID for my app store so  I can update things. How can I do this?

    I need to switch my Apple ID for my app store so  I can update things. How can I do this?

    Are you using the Mac App Store or the iTunes Store? They are not the same. However, the process is similar. Log out of the Apple ID you are now using and log in with the Apple ID you wish to use. You cannot upgrade/update apps purchased under one Apple ID when using another. All purchases are tied permanently to the Apple ID used to purchase them.

    System Preferences quits suddenly. I have lost the dock, including the trash and ability to change desktop image. How can I replace this part of System Preferences? Where can I find Trash? All other aspects of System Preferences work.

    just that that is one method, and lacks provision for working boot image and for an emergency - Lion gives a small minimal emergency boot environment but may lack all the utilities you need to use and run, even some drivers that your mac requires for add on PCIe.
    Just grab and look through Help in Carbon Copy and SuperDuper, both excellent and each has their use - together - for cloning.
    And do you have two TM backup sets? ought to consider that also, rotate daily or make a weekly set. Otherwise you are putting all your eggs in the proverbial one basket.

  • Using Touch ID for App store when you have seperate Apple IDs for iCloud and iTunes

    My wife and I each have a new iPhone 5S.  We share the same Apple ID for iTunes and the App Store.
    In addition, we each have our own unique Apple IDs for iCloud.  This enables us to use iMessage to text to each other.
    Can the iPhone 5S be setup to use the Touch ID for iTunes and App store purchases when there are separate iCloud and iTunes ID on the same phone?
    Currently, I can unlock my phone using the Touch ID, but the App store requests me to type the password to my wife's and my shared Apple ID whenever I wish to buy an app.  I am not given the option to use the Touch ID.
    I do have both the iPhone Unlock and iTunes & App Store set to "on" here: Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Touch ID
    How can I use my current setup so I can approve App Store purchases with the Touch ID?

    This is the screen that pops up when I attempt to purchase an app.  It does not allow me to use my Touch ID.

  • I use the company's iPad at work that has a different apple id for iCloud than my own personal iPad  at home. How can I change the company's iCloud id to synchronize with my own one?

    I use an iPad 2 at work that has a different apple id for iCloud than my own personal new iPad. How can I change the company's id for iCloud to synchronize with my own personal iPad?

    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID listed and sign out and sign in with other ID
    You also may want to go to other places like:
    - Settings>iCloud
    - Settinge>FaceTime
    - Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and change the ID
    It may be best to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings and start over again and set up the iPod again with his account/ID

  • I have an apple id for my itunes and want my wife to be able to access it on her ipad but not sure how when her id is different?

    I have an apple id for my itunes on my computer not a mac......and want my wife to be able to access the music I purchase on her ipad....but not sure how she can do it when her ipad has her own apple id and it says she would have to use my apple id.....any suggestions?

    You can use one account with iTunes on your Mac, and different account(s) with the Mac App Store (for buying/downloads apps or OS updates for your Mac), iCloud (System Preferences > iCloud) and Messages (Messages > Preferences, or command-comma)

  • I have 2 iCloud accounts I want to amalgamate them both.  How can I do this? On one account I've bought extra storage.

    I have two iCloud accounts I want to amalgamate them both. On one account I've bought storage.  MyiPad cant be used because the message not enough storage appears. I'm pulling my hair out.

    I'm afraid you can'te amalgamate two iCloud accounts; the nearest you can get is to export the datea from one and import it into the other.
    Your iPad is probably telling you that it doesn't have enough storage. Buying iCloud storage won't have any effect on your iPad. You can't increase an iPad's storage, you would have to delete something.

  • My husband and I share an iCloud account and want to see eachothers calendars. How can we do this?

    I want to sync calendars with another iPhone that shares the same account how do I do this?

    If you share the same iCloud account any data you sync with the account (contacts, calendars, etc.) will be merged and appear on both phones, not just the calendar.  If you still want to do this, all you have to do is go to Settings>iCloud and sign into the same iCloud account as the other phone.  Then turn the data you want so share  (such as Calendars) to On.
    You can also maintain separate iCloud accounts, and keep your contacts and other synced data separate and still share an iCloud calendar.  This would also give you both 5GB of iCloud storage for your data and backups rather than sharing the same 5GB of storage, and is the preferred method for most people.  If you would rather do this, set up a new iCloud account in Settings>iCloud, the share your iCloud calendar as described here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a8694.

  • Old computer died, did not have an apple id for it that I know of. I have new computer now, have downloaded itunes again. I had all my music backed up on my pc, so was able to put it  into itunes. Though now if I add anything else to itunes, it wont sync

    the new itunes will not sync new music to my ipod? help!!!

    You can change the email address of one's appleID...
    I'd recommend changing moms email to yours to get a good backup on the Mac
    Then switch mom's back to hers
    Then change your account to the same email you used.
    I've done something similar when I needed to update my Apple account (one ID changing email addresses and phone)

  • How can I delete unknown Apple ID for iCloud?

    My new iPad bought through interenet already has unknown Apple ID for iCloud.
    I want to use my Apple ID. How Can I delete unknown ID and reset my ID?

    If you can't logout via Settings > iCloud > Sign Out (or Delete Account depending upon its iOS version) then you will have to contact the previous owner and ask him/her to remove the iPad from their account via http://www.icloud.com
