In system preferences my iCloud still shows my old internet mail address. How can I change it to my new internet address as I am now with a different server?
I have recently changed internet companies but in system preferences iCloud still shows my old email address. How can I change this or is it necessary?
If no one on this forum is able to help please post on the iCloud on my Mac forum.

I changed my Apple ID on all my devices and services but iCloud still shows my old Apple ID. How can I get it to update?
I asked the Apple Tech support people and their advice worked for me, it's a setting on the iPad itself. see below.
Follow the below instructions to sign in with your new account name.
1) From the home screen, tap Settings
2) Tap Store
3) Tap Sign Out
4) Tap Sign In
5) Enter your current account name "xxxx" and your password and tap OK.
If you are still unable to change the sign in name on your iPad, please sign into your account on your computer and then sync the iPad so the changes will be updated.
good luck -
I recently changed my internet service provider and my e mail address. I updated my iTunes account with the new e mail. Now I cannot get updates on my devices, because the login box on each device still contains my old e mail, and I do not know how to change this How can I change this please?
Try tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores on your devices (Settings > Store if they aren't on iOS 6+) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on them.

Hi there. I am having difficulty buying apps from the App Store. I recently changed my e-mail associated with my apple account. when i try to purchase an app, the cue to sign in does not show my new e-mail, but still shows my old e-mail. when I put in my password, it does not work because my password is no longer associated with the old e-mail address. i don't understand why my old e-mail still shows up. Can someone help me?

How do I change the iCloud account name when signing in? It defaults to an old account that is no longer active.
Hello ryanduby,
The simplest possible solution would be to use the password for your current iCloud account. Should that fail to get your old account removed, the following article can help get you clear of your old account.

I've updated my Apple ID, but iCloud under System Preferences on my iMac still shows my old Apple ID. How do I update it to show the new Apple ID?
Do you mean you changed your existing apple id to a new email address, still associated to your existing apple id?
If that's the case, just click the sign out button in the icloud preferences, and sign in with the new email address.
If you're actually created an entirely new apple id with your new email address, you'll have to do some exporting/importing. -
icloud still shows my old email address when I try to enter, asking me for a password I no longer have. I need to change my email address and password in ICLOUD but I can't find a way to do it. Any ideas? Thanks.
Logout (System Preferences>iCloud) then login with the new address and password.

I own a new iPad and a MacBook Pro. An Apple store assistant changed my Apple ID on my iPad, and the new ID showed up in the iCloud setting on the iPad. However on my Mac laptop the iCloud still shows my old ID, so there is no synching of documents going on between the iPad and the laptop. What do I do?
On the mac's system preferences: click the iCloud icon, then "sign out" button. After, you can enter the new ID.

Hi, I just synched my iphone4s to new iphone6. Majority of photos in iCloud still show on old phone (4s). i6 phone is not loading most of them from iCloud. Any idea why?
You cannot do anything to effect the Photo Stream except delete photos. Photo Stream automatically loads photos that you take as you take them into the Photo Stream. It then removes anything over 30 days old automatically.

I just bought the 5s. It's showing the correct applie ID but the iCloud ID is showing an old email account and I can't change it
To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, 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 iPhone on your device, 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 have changed my apple id on the manage my apple id page. For some reason, the id didn't change on my macbook air. My iCloud still registered my old email id and I can't get it to recognize my correct id. Any ideas? Thanks!
Hi Baem_leeds
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you change your Apple ID you will need to sign in with the new information or password the next time you use an Apple service or feature that uses Apple ID. If you have multiple devices that use features and services that require an Apple ID, you will need to sign in again on each device.
The links below will provide additional information:

my i pad was purchased by my husband using his credit card but now when i send mails using icloud account to shows like is coming from him. how can i change his name to mine
MacBook Airs won't run Classic, nor will Classic connect to iCloud accounts. You will need your Mac OS X version to answer the question involved. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac, and post in the appropriate forum in the link below:

My iPhone 4S (iOS8) is locked to ex's iCloud account (but to my credit card!). I don't have the password. How can I change it to my new iCloud account?
My phone shows my name plus iCloud old iCloud account. My kids' new iPads show my name plus my new iCloud account. But both accounts show my children as "family" associated with them.
Basically, I need to change the iCloud account on my phone to my new one. But I'm not given that option.
Help and thanks.Hi and thanks. The password on the old iCloud account doesn't work and my ex-husband says he doesn't know what it is -- and that he's not getting emails to reset the password. I tried using the rescue questions and even the birthdate isn't working. I think he's changed it to keep me out, but it's charging my credit card account.
