I have two icloud ID's I want my iPad and iPhone to communicate but can't unless I change my acct on phone to match my iPad

I have had an iPad for a yeAr now and recently purchased an iPhone 5c for Christmas. The gentleman that activated my phone used an additional icloud ID because I couldn't remember the password for the icloud ID on my iPad. I would like my iPhone and my iPad to communicate with each other but I need to change the new iD on my phone and add the old iD to my phone but do not know how. Can anyone help me?

You can't merge Apple IDs.  What you could do is set up your phone to use the same iCloud accout you are using on your Mac.  To do this, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data (Contacts, Calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  When everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Now add the iCloud account you set up on your Mac (with the same Apple ID) and turn syncing back on for Calendars, Contacts, etc.  When prompted, you will probably want to choose merge, to merge the data on your phone with the existing data on this iCloud account.

    Your notes should be stored in your backup, so if you have backed up the iPad and that backup does contain those notes that you deleted, you can try restoring from your backup. If you haven't backed up the iPad since you created those notes, they are gone.
    If you backup with iCloud only, restoring from backup involves erasing the device and then going through the setup all over again and finally restoring from the iCloud backup. This article explains the process quite clearly.

    If you backup with iTunes, connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes and right click on the device name on the left and select - Restore from Backup. But before you do that .... turn off auto sync in iTunes - without connecting the iPad - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box at the bottom of that window in order to turn off auto sync.
    Email messages are not stored in your backups.

  • When I use messaging there are only two users who automatically go green (MMS?), and are undeliverable. I can't seem to change this. What am I doing wrong?

    I use message and all other messages are non-sms. When I try to message these two accounts, they automatically use sms, everything I do is the same. The non-sms messages go through just fine (including pictures). The sms messages (no pictures) are always rejected; they have never gone through. They have never been able to send messages to me either (although they can send to others). I have a Verizon cellular data plan.

  • ICloud is not updating my iMac desktop.  Laptop, iPad and iPhone are fine but the desktop remains static.

    iCloud is not updating my desktop with new iCal and Contacts updates.  How do I get the information to download from iCloud to this device?
    The desktop is OS X 10.7.5.  My MacBook Air is OS X10.8.  iPad and iPhone are iOS6.  My Apple ID on the OS devices is different from the 2 computers in that they use a .me address.  Thanks to anyone who can help.

    OK Vicky, good clues...
    See if this helps...
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.
    Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
    If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

  • I have an icloud email account that my spouse used and he is gone now, can I delete this one and use another or will this delete information?

    I have an icloud email account that was set up by my spouse and I am trying to get rid of everything with him on it due to the nature of the split and want to make sure he can never access the childrens and my photots, music, etc. 
    In this I wanted to change the email address in icloud so that I no longer get his emails from his contacts, friends, etc.  I made an alias but is there anyway to delete this icloud email address and use another or will this delete all of our data?
    New at this icloud and its real cool but afraid to lose all my information. 
    Help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Deleting the account from the phone will do only that! it won't affect any other information on any other device.

    You need to setup two separate user accounts on your PC and then log into iCloud in each one of them.

  • Have trial version of lightroom images display in library and 'before' in developer, but can't display full image to develop.  Shows as a blue box with a white X on it.

    I have downloaded and installed Lightroom for a 30 day trial. Library works fine, but when I try to edit images in Develop, I can't see the full size image just a blue box with a white X on it.  If I switch on to Before & After mode, the image displays fine in the before, but still just blue box in the 'after'.  Can't find any answer to this anywhere!  Please help as my trial days are running out.

  • Have just purchased a Macbook Air, already have iPad and iPhone. Apps not appearing in App Store that are already on phone and iPad. what am i doing wrong?

    App help

    Not sure I understand the question... if you're trying to download apps to your Mac that you've downloaded to your iOS device, note that the Mac and the iPhone/iPad use two completely separate operating systems, therefore you need to purchase/download separate app versions for each OS.

  • On iCloud, the calendar will sync from computer and iPhone to everything, but will not sync FROM iPad

    When I enter data on my computer or iPhone, the calendars all sync nicely; however, if I enter an event on my iPad, it will not sync, eventhough it syncs the information from the other devices.  Any advice?

    Once you set your Exchange Calendar as the default here:
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > scroll down to Default Calendar > Select your Exchange calendar
    All new events should be created in your Exchange calendar unless manually changed.

    Yes, you can have multiple iCloud accounts on the iPad but only one account will be the primary with all iCloud info.
    The other account will only use some of the iCloud info.
    Set > Mail, Contact, Calendars > Add account.
    Add the other iCloud account and you can see what will be there.

  • I have two iCloud accounts and I want to delete one, help!

    I have two icloud accounts and I want to delete one and have the one across all my devices, however, I have tried a number of times, I have deauthorised all my computers on the old icloud/apple account, yet every time I log back onto my main compputer, the old account comes up. I have tried everything, any help would be appreciated....
    Cheers

    You can't delete an iCloud account.  You can, however, sign out of that account and just stop using it.  Then sign in to your second account on all devices account.

  • HT4847 I have two iCloud accounts, one with 10GB and one with 20GB...how can I merge them into the 20GB plan?

    I have two iCloud plans.  One with 10GB that backs up my 1Phone and iPad.  I also have a 20GB plan for my iMAC and MAC BookPro.  How can I merge them so that I only have one plan and one iCloud to manage?    My first instinct is to delete the one on my iPhone/iPad and add the iMac plan, but I don't want to do it without an expert opinion.

    No, accounts cannot be merged.  Am I an expert?  I only know what I've read here numerous times regarding merging of plans - the answer is always emphatically NO.  Since this is a user-to-user forum (Apple doesn't participate here), you'll have to do some searching about on this topic and either accept or reject the "common" advice.
