  • I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

    You would have to delete the existing iCloud account and create a wholly new one - you cannot change the @icloud.com email address of the one you already have.  To make a new one, you will also need an new AppleID as any AppleID can only have one iCloud account associated with it.
    Deleting the account will not delete anything off your device (if prompted for things like contacts, choose to keep them).  You will have to sync everything anew with the new account as you cannot move your sync'd content, your old backups or anything else from one iCloud account to another.  You will have to set up sync again and let it sync to the new account, and then make new backups to the new account as well.

  • I want to change my iCloud account. Buying iPad we gave a virtual (forwarding) email addr. We need to change to a real address. But when we try to change the iCloud account, we can only change the password. Note: we don't have Mac, only iPad and Windows.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    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.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • I want to change the email address on my account how can I do so?

    I want to change the email on my account since I lost the password to that email account. Please help

    If you have a new email address then create a new mail account for that email address.
    In Thunderbird:
    File > New > select 'Existing mail account'
    or
    Menu Icon > New Messages > select 'Existing mail account'
    when creating the mail account, make sure you select the type of mail account you require...Pop or IMAP
    more info here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-account-configuration?esab=a&s=new+mail+account&r=0&as=s
    If you have the same email address but want to change the server it uses.
    If you currently have an IMAP mail account and you are wanting to close it, you would need to get a copy of any emails into Local Folders first.
    Synchronise the folder for offline use, then in offline mode get a copy of emails into Local Folders.
    If you have a pop mail account, the emails are already on your computer.
    To change the server, but not email address:
    you will need to know your server settings first.
    Thenright click on mail account name in Folder Pane and select 'Settings'
    select the Server sEttings for the account
    or Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the account
    Change as necessary
    server name:
    Port:
    Connection Security:
    In the left Pane, at the bottom Select 'Outgoing Server (SMTP)
    click on 'Add'
    create the new outgoing server entering the server details
    username: = full email address
    then click on OK
    then select the account in the left Pane
    at the bottom on the right side:
    Outgoing Server (SMTP)
    click on the drop down selectionand locate the new outgoing server.
    then click on OK to save changes.

  • How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone only

    How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone6 only.  I don't want to change my ipad or my husband's iphone6.  Currently all 3 devices have the same gmail account associated with them.  I have created a new & separate apple id and I want that on my phone but I can't figure out how to delete his email from my phone.

    To change iCloud accounts you have to go to Settings>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your other ID to create your new account.  If you want to migrate a copy of the iCloud data to the new account, start by saving any photo stream photos 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 Image.  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 Sign Out, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted.  Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data to your new account.  Once you are on a separate account you can go to iCloud.com and delete your husband's data from your account (and he can do the same with yours).
    Just be aware that the current @icloud.com email address cannot be moved to the new account, nor can the current my photo stream album (which is why you need to save any my photo stream photos you want to keep to your iPhone before signing out of the existing account).

  • Changed  iTunes email account - iPad doesn't recogize it

    Hi,
    I changed my email account for iTunes on the apple.com website. The apple site recognizes it, but when I use my iPad and want to download a new podcast, it shows my old email. How do I get my iPad to recongize the new email? Do I have to sync it to my computer first?
    Thanks,

    How can I change it when I cannot view it on my account. I am not even sure how this got setup.

    If you mean your rescue email address, it's in the Passwords and Security section, after you answer the two security questions.

  • I want to change the email address for iTunes Store

    I want to change my email address for the iTunes Store

    You can update the primary email address on your account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and tapping 'view apple id' on the popup and logging into it, or by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com
    If you do change it you may then need to log out on your other devices (tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store) and computers (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then log back in with the updated version

  • I want to change the email address for both the app store

    I want to change the email address of both the app store & iTunes I created an iTunes account then bought a family pack @me.com so everything is not straight forward I have a gmail log in for both iTunes & the AppStore & then more than one Apple ID I have just increased my cloud storage but I am tired of having to use a gmail address for the App Store & iTunes especially since gmail would appear to be less secure that @icloud.com so how do I change this ?

    Not a good idea. Apple content is forever associated with the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. The only Apple ID that can (re)download, update and authorize content for use on Macs, PCs and iOS devices is the Apple ID that bought it.
    You can however change the email address associated with an Apple ID;
