Icloud account change

My icloud will not let me sign out of my old email address, change to my new email address, and my account did not automatically change account information.

If the old ID ("email address") is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new 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, 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.

  • I had the icloud account changed on the iPad (have added new ID and deleted old one). However when updating/downloading , it still asks for password to the previous account...?

    I’m giving my ipad to my sister and I had the icloud account changed. I have added new ID and deleted the old one. However when updating and downloading apps, it still asks for password to the previous account. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks very much!

    Maybe you should set it up as new device again:

    Apps are tied to the Apple ID they were bought with and can not be shared with other devices that have a different Apple ID.

  • Recovering documents in Pages for iPad after iCloud account change

    I changed iCloud accounts on my iPad, and when I did all documents in Pages were deleted.  Is there anyway to recover those documents?  The old iCloud account had the user name changed, so several documents were created on the iPad without being sync'd to any iCloud account.

    Try and retrieve them with a computer; log on to www.icloud.com

  • Apple-ID/iCloud account change

    Hey! I recently changed the e-mail on my apple-ID/iCloud account. But when i go into settings-> iCloud its still my old E-mail there and i cant log off/change it! Any clues?

    Congratulations.  You can create a new Apple ID with your new name, then delete your old iCloud account, create a new iCloud account and migrate your data to the new account.
    Before deleting your existing iCloud account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else, save these to your camera roll or you will lose them.  To do this, open the photo stream album on your phone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your new Apple ID (if you need to create one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    If you need to change the ID for other services, do the following:
    For purchasing from the iTunes and app stores, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign back in with the alternate ID.  (Note: previous purchases are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them so when you update your old apps, for example, you will still be prompted for the password for your old ID even if you aren't using it anymore.)
    For iMessage, do the same thing in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive.
    For FaceTime, do this in Settings>FaceTime.

  • ICloud account changes asking me to upgrade?

    Email wants me that my iCloud account will revert to 5GB this month and that I have more than 5 GB saved so I need to change my plan or cancel the order to revert to 5GB. But when I go into settings it says that 10GB is my plan and it won't let me change.

  • Icloud account changes

    I just reset my icloud account online with a new email and password but on my phone it still has my old email address and its saying my password doesnt match . how do i get all of my new info transfered over?

    I'm afraid you are gonna have to change the email to your account back to the old. Then you will be able to delete the old account out of your device. Once you get it deleted then you can change it to the email that you want and re-add the account back to your device after you verify the new email to the account.

  • Shared photo streams don't appear anymore after icloud account change

    Hi guys,
    I've two icloud accounts: account A and account B.
    Some days ago I switched my main icloud account (on my iPhone) from Account A to Account B.
    Today I come back to Account A, and I expected to have again in my iphone all the Shared photo streams I had (both created by me and subscribed).
    Instead in my iphone I cannot find any of my streamed stuff.
    Can you help me to find again my streams?
    Thanks!

    I attach four screenshots Yann - one is the project hierarchy - where you'll see PhotoStream appearing in Recent items, but not under the Web section (where you do see Facebook) and the other the preferences pane for PhotoStream in Aperture showing all three boxes checked.
    Attachments one and two are from my wife's computer - where she's not seeing shared PhotoStreams.
    Attachments three and four are from my computer - we I do see them.
    What I notice when I compare these side by side is that there is a difference in the setting panel for photo stream between the two.  Mine has a fourth option for shared photo streams - my wife's doesn't.
    Yet both s/w versions for Aperture are 3.4.5.  There is a difference in what is listed in the Aperture version after the version number, but both computers are fully up to date with no further updates available.  (Final two images first my wife's then my s/w version)
    Is your view/settings any different?

  • Icloud Account change problem

    Hello Support
    I got a Iphone 4 ios 5.0.1 from my father hes used it 1 month. He loged in with his icloud account. I go to settings and deleted the account. I tried to make a new account but i cannot. It says that the "maximum number of accounts reached" what can i do ??????

    It doesn't mean 3 active accounts, it means once you have created 3 accounts you can't create anymore.
    You can create an iCloud account on a PC too.

  • HT1918 ITunes & iCloud account change issue.

    My iTune and iCloud accounts are on 4 devices—2 mine and 2 my son's. He's now over 18 and would like a new account in his name. How should he do it without either of us losing previous purchases and data?

    An app purhased under an Apple ID, is tied to that one for life.

    I have an IPad mini and I changed the Apple ID and the password almost one year ago and, for a while, a message asking me to sign in to ICloud pops- up constantly. My ICloud account is registered with an old email address and password. I do not remember the password to my ICloud account, and ID address that my ICloud account is registered under is an old email adress which is deleted right now (the old mail account is deleted). I don’t have a rescue email adress and I don’t know the answers to the security questions, so I have no way of changing the ICloud password. A message asking me to sign in to ICloud pops up constantly, but I always just hit cancel. However, now I am unable to access Find My IPad. How do I get my ICloud account changed and registered to be under my current Apple ID (email) and password? It is possible to set the device as New Ipad?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • How Do I 'unhook' two accounts from ONE iCloud Account?

    So this past weekend I bought a new iphone for my wife via the Apple Store online.
    So I had to log on to my itunes/icloud/Apple account via my ID.
    When I was going through the buying process I inputted her email address for confirmation of her receipt as well as to be notified by the Apple store when her order was ready for pick-up.
    Ever since, my icloud account changed to her email account and name.  I then re-verified my account and changed the necessary account info such as my name, phone number, & email address.
    Then her icloud account info changed to mine.
    We don't know what to do at this point because it appears that it is only one icloud account for both phones/ios'es etc. 
    Any ideas and how to 'uinhook' them from each other?
    Thank you for any help you can give us. 

    Thank you for your response.
    My apologies If I wasn't concise enough.  The iCloud accounts seemed to be connected or mixed up.
    We both have entered our information separately via our MBs and iOS devices but when one is changed it changes the other one, to that persons info so they don't separate as they should be. 
    So if she changes her info, it changes the info on my iCloud account to her information (insert device here (iphone, ipad, MB)) and if I change my icloud info it does the same to hers. 

  • How to delete iCloud account on iPad

  • We use our Iphones with the icloud to set up scheduling of jobs. Multiple phones share the same icloud for this purpose. We recently had a change in leadership. How do I completely delete the icloud account? Or do I just create a new one/forget old 1

    Multiple phones share one Icloud account. We use it to schedule jobs and crew leaders read the cloud to get the information of the job that needs to be done. However, we recently had a change of leadership and we think this person might have logged into or put our cloud on his phone to sabotage our business. I changed the password but that didn't fix the situation. I could put a job on the cloud with an old phone that was logged in with the old password and everyone with the new password would still see the job. I have since created a whole new cloud account which seems to have eliminated the "future" issue of sabotage however I would like to completely eliminate that old account...any advise?

    Everyone needs to go to Settings (or System Preferences)>iCloud and click 'Delete account' or 'Sign out' as applicable (it's the same thing). Then they can sign into the new account you have created and proceed from there. You can't actually delete the old account from the server but you can just ignore it.

  • How do I change the icloud account on my iphone? I want to use the same account for all my apple devices (macbook air and imac and iphone). I can't see where I can amend the iphone account because it is in grey?

    I want to use the same account for all my apple devices (macbook air, imac and iphone). I can't see how I can amend the iphone account because it is in grey? I also can't remember the password for this account so i can't even delete it and start again?
    Help!
    Thanks

    Deleting an iCloud account only deletes it from the Device, not from iCloud.  In iOS 8, the name of this setting changed to "Sign Out" as that is a better reflection of what actually happens.  Your iCloud data remains on the server, available to devices still signed into the account, but the device you sign out of the account on is disconnected from the account, and as a result, the iCloud data from that account is removed from the device.  It will redownload to the device should you sign back into the account.
    The only issue you'll run into when you switch between accounts is with my photo stream photos older than 30 days.  When you delete (or sign out of) and account, your photo stream photos are deleted along with the other data from the account in question.  However, unlike other data which remains on the server and can redownload to your device when you sign back in, my photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.  When you sign back in, you will only get back my photo stream photos added in the last 30 days (as older photos are no longer in iCloud to redownload).  Like other account data, any my photo stream photos on your other devices signed into the account are unaffected by this.  If you want to keep older my photo stream photos on your device as you change iCloud accounts, save them to your camera roll before deleting (signing out of) the account.

  • I have been using icloud for itunes and aps purchases, but now I would like to create a new icloud account so that my calendars sync without having to plug in ... how do I do this, as my phone won't let me change the icloud account

    My husband and I have been using our iCloud account for music and ap purchases only.  I have decided that i would like to now create a new icloud account so that i can sync my calendar and contacts.  I read about doing this online and it looks simple and easy ... and yet, when i go to switch it on my iphone, there is only 1 place for an icloud account (our shared account) and it is greyed out so that I cannot change it.  How do I do this?

    Whenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings.  Be sure to turn it off.
    You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account.  You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
    To create a new icloud account, go to
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account.  (have restrictions turned off)  That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices.  Then sign in using the new ID.
