I updated my Apple ID, but need to update my icloud ID?

How doe I update my ICloud account ID? I had to change internet providers, and was able to change my main Apple ID, but not my ICloud ID.

To change the iClou ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from your phone, not from iCloud), then sign back in with your changed ID.

How can I view my pictures that were backed up to iTunes? I no longer have an apple product but need to view the pictures for very important reasons.

How can I view my pictures that were backed up to iTunes? I no longer have an apple product but need to view the pictures for very important reasons.

If you mean backed up as part of an iPhone backup in iTunes? If so, you would have to use 3rd party software to extract them from the backup, such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

Recently I changed my apple id but forgot to change my icloud account. I also have Find My IPhone activated. I tried to delete my ICloud account but first I need to switch off my Find My iPhone, to complicate this I can no longer access prev email account

Recently I changed my apple id but forgot to change my iCloud account.
I also have Find My Iphone activated. My old apple id was an old work email address no longer in use nor can be accessed.
I need to be able to turn off Find My Iphone in order to then delete my iCloud account, I need to include my apple id password to turn off Find my Iphone.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance.

Please go to website address: www.idapple.com Go to the blue tab that reads Manage apple id. From there you will have the option to change personal information of your apple id. The fact that the email address you used to create the apple id is no longer accessible as far as an email address goes will not disable you from changing information as part of the apple id account. However to disable the find my device you will need to be able to access this apple id login. Once you are able to access the old apple id account this then will allow you to access the icloud services by going to www.icloud.com from there you will login with your old apple id once logged into icloud.com and you have chosen the correct device you then can erase all contents of the device which then will disable the find my device.
This is one way of doing it. The other way of course would be for you to login to your icloud on your phone using the old Apple id and from there provided you are able to login with password you then can simply disable the find my device inside the icloud account.
Good luck Friend.

HT204053 I have changed my apple ID, but the account info on iCloud is still showing my old ID. How do I change the account name/ID for iCloud?

I have changed my Apple ID but the account info on iCloud is still referencing the old ID. How do I change the iCloud account details?

If you simply renamed your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account. This will delete the account from your phone (but not from iCloud) as well as any synced data. But provided you are signing back into the same account (just with a new name) it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in. Then set up your iCloud account with the new ID name and turn syncing back on. If you have photos in your photo stream album that are older than 30 days that you don't have anywhere else, you will need to save these to your camera roll before deleting the account. To do this, open your photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If, however, you are changing to a new ID you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (Be sure to save any photo stream photos to your camera roll prior to deleting the account, as mentioned above.) Next, set up a new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.

I'm trying to verify my apple id but when i log into icloud to get the email it says 'the apple id has not been verifed.' So how do i verify my account if it wont let me log into to icloud mail?

You have to respond to the verification email that Apple should have sent to you by clicking the Verify Now link. Make sure you check the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. This would not normally be an @icloud.com email address. Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

Try contacting Apple for assistance resetting the password by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

When I go and try to log in to my ICloud it says mine is a valid Apple ID but it isn't an ICloud one why?

Please help when I go and try to log in to my ICloud it says mine is a valid Apple ID but it isn't an ICloud one why?

Hi, Sorathekeyblademaster.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To use iCloud, you must first sign up via your Apple ID on an iOS device running iOS 5 or later. This can also be done on a Mac running OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later.

Once you have created an iCloud account via one of this listed ways above, you should be able to use it on your PC.

Need help with what to do if I want to change my apple id but my id is my icloud e-mail address

Hello,
I have spent days and hours trying to find a definite answer on what I can do with my situation. I have been able to figure out that I cannot change my apple id because my apple id is my icloud e-mail address. But does that leave me no option? Does that mean that I will have to create a new apple id and subsequently I will also get a new icloud e-mail address? If so, then how will I retain all of my purchases? Is it possible to delete my icloud account and then change my apple id?
I would really appreciate anyone that can give me a clear answer on this. Thanks!!

Sorry I missed this post earlier. For some reason I didn't get an email alert that you had posted.
If you want to want to change your Apple ID and your iCloud email address, you'll need to create a new Apple ID using the name you want, then create a new iCloud account with it and migrate your data to the new account. After creating your new Apple ID, save any photo stream photos on your iOS device that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then sign back in with a new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account. You will then have to recreate your notes in the new account from the emails you sent earlier. When you turn on Mail in Settings>iCloud you will choose your new @icloud.com email address.
Once this is done on the first device, if you have other devices, you can just save any photo strema photos, delete the existing account, then choose Delete from My iDevice (since the data is already in the new account) and sign back in with the new ID to download the data.
You'll then have to decide if you want to keep using the old ID for iTunes or not. Personally, I wouldn't recommend changing it to a new ID for several reasons. First, all of your current purchased media is tied to the current ID and cannot be moved to your new ID. This means that you will end up with different things purchased with different IDs over time, which can make things complicated. Secondly, if you have already enabled automatic downloads, or have downloaded previous purchased using your old ID, you cannot change it to your new ID for 90 days from the time you first did this. Once this waiting period expires you can then change to the new ID and access previous purchases with your new ID, but you would not be able to access previous purchased from the old ID again for another 90 days. (This is what I mean by it being complicated to have multiple Apple IDs for iTunes purchases.)

Ipad with muliple apple ids but need to do a backup

i have an ipad with items purchased with multiple apple ids that i need to backup so i can transfer to a new ipad mini
Can you help?

Do you want them to continue to share the same Apple ID for iTunes content? If so, the can, but still use different ID's for iCloud.
The Apple ID needs to be a verified email address. Once you have an email address, that can be verified, go here & create the ID:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId
Then on the phone or iPad, turn off Contacts, Calendars, Find My Phone, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone/iPad, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
This will have no affect on the ID they both share for iTunes content, & they can continue to do so.
If you also want them to have separate iTunes accounts, post back.

Thinking of buying Apple TV but need some answers...

Please only those who have actual experience answer:
1) Ipod Classic connected with component cables to a plasma TV plays .m4v video that's more than acceptable viewing, will these same .m4v video files play more than acceptable viewing using Apple TV?
2) Are the video files(not DRM) that is the .m4v available to my other networked Macs wired or wirelesss as downloadable; ie the Apple TV functioning as a "server".
3) does Apple TV in fact function as an Airtunes device? So I can rid myself of two Expresses?
4) what would be the approximate time of streaming a 2 hrs movie to the Apple TV wirelessly. Using Apple Extreme N router to Apple TV?
all answers are dependent if I purchase one, thanks in advance for you effort.

1) a video that can be played with an iPod Classic will be displayed by the ATV in the same quality. I saw no difference on a brand new Pioneer 42in 720p Plasma.
2) ATV does not function as a server, you can only sync it with one Mac and you cannot just access the ATV hard drive. You can use a Mac to share media libraries.
3) yes (but why would it allow you to get rid of TWO AirTunes Express)
4) I dont understand the question. On an N network, it will take you less than 5 minutes to transfer a movie from ATV to a Mac or vice versa. The time to download a movie from the iTunes Store to ATV to watch it will depend more on your internet connection that your network. Even a G network is much faster than any available internet connection.

Have iPhone 5 set to back up to iCloud but need both iTunes and iCloud done...

after going from 4s to iphone 5 and dragging and dropping like 15 playlists and about 4300 plus songs there must be a better way.
I backup complete itunes folder, exporting all playlists as xml files i am learning as i went from 3 to 3GS to 4 to 4s and now to a 32gb white 5. while i learned on the 4s to 5 that icloud only does store bought music of which i have a lot but most is my own music ripped from my cd's at AAC 320 VBR.
anyhow problem is i always did itunes manually never auto sync for at least 6-7 years as i did auto sync once on original ipod and learned never again after a wipeout.
so i keep icloud on (under icloud on iphone) and itunes also is checked back up to icloud on"summary page" of iphone when it's plugged into itunes 10.7. i did try changing the settings back and forth but
and hit back up every other day or so using icloud manually in phone. i did the turn one off and other on once or twice but based on time etc. it seemed like it had to start a complete backup tpicloud agoin but checking icloud via broweser (IE 9). but do use itunes daily and manually hit the sync button and rite click my iphone in left column and choose backup daily. I see the backup in preferences so assume it's doing its thing. I use 4 pop3 accounts including terrible icloud mail which is so spotty. it started as @me in july and in august my kids signed up and got @icloud addresses. i see i have them also in email settings under icloud allowing me to send or recieve from either.
none of that matters I just want to know if my dual backup scenario is actually working. apple says its one or the other from their own KB articles. BUT I THINK DIFFERENTLY JUST BY THE RESPONSE MANUALLY.
I see the space taken up by the current iCloud backup I do. I also see the current back up I do manually through iTunes so does any other user here know if this works? I see my "notes" and any changes made today so at least iCloud is picking it up...now how to find if iTunes is doing the same.

no one has doubled up on their backups so they don't lose earlier bought music or expensive audiobooks prior to iTunes 10.3?
or at the least none of the knowledgable people here are familair with doing this?
thank you I have huge library and don't want to manually redo it again for my own music. the store bought apps and music for the most part works from icloud but I defenitely want both options available to me.
thank you

Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID

I changed my apple id but the apple id for icloud did not change on my mac. How do I get icloud account information to change and match my new apple id?

I changed my apple id but the applie id for icloud did not change on my mac in system preferences.
I have changed my apple id on system preferences under users and groups but the icloud preferences don't pick up the change.
I restarted my computer, and still no change.
I have been using icloud under my old apple id for mail calendars and notes.
How do I get icloud account information to change on my mac's system preferences and match my new apple id?
I am missing something.
Please help. Thanks.

Thank you Roger, your solution gave me the courage to sign out of Systems Preferences. The pop up told me it was going to delete my contact and other information from my mac, so I was hesitant to do that. Well I did as you directed and I was able to sign in with my new apple id and I did not lose the information the pop up threatened I was going to. So again thank you. It is the little things that make a big difference sometimes.

TS3988 'Valid Apple ID but not an Icloud account

I have downloaded iCloud onto my PC and when I try to sign in the following message appears 'This is a valid Apple ID but not an iCloud account.' What can I do? Thanks.

....some software developers are so smart that they become stupid in the process....I have a valid apple ID but iCloud complains, "your ID is a valid Apple ID but it's not an iCloud account." So, when I go to download the iCloud file to set up iCloud on my computer, the file is about 45MB. I finally get the file downloaded and installed exactly the way Apple said to do it and then the software STILL complains that my Apple ID is not an iCloud account--with no further instructions about how to GET an iCloud account....you're correct, Apple has a long way to go before it's integrity reaches up to the level of 'amateur' regarding their software instructions being user friendly...
In simple terms then, you can not create a new iCloud account on a PC and an Apple ID is NOT an iCloud account.
Use a Mac or an iPhone etc to open the account, then (and only then) can you sign into it on a PC.

I updated my Apple ID, but need to update my icloud ID?
