Login on iMac changed(incl. this group logon), how do I change it for  icloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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")

  • HT204053 I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't  edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized. Any suggestions?

    I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't  edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized on the appleid website, so my password for my old apple id won't work.
    Any suggestions?

    If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name.  (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
    If you created a new ID, you'll have to 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.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other 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.
    You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library.  If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account.  To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • I have changed my e-mail address on the apple ID website and have been able to change it for ICloud.  My e-mail address (ID) has not changed for I-tunes and therefore, I can't install updates. ??

    If this is on your computer's iTunes then log out via the Store > Sign Out menu option and then log back in with the updated version of your account. If on an iOS device then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out and then log back in.

  • HT204053 if i changed my Apple ID in iTunes, how do I chnage it for iCloud?

    I just loaded mountain lion on my computer. At the time I had an apple id which I have subsequently changed in iTunes. How do I make the cnage in iCloud so they both use the same ID?

    Many people are having probalems with this right now.  The only solution I've seen that seems to consistently work is the one posted by Brackers28 here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23020591#23020591.  This only works if you still have access to your old email account.  If you don't, you'll have to have Apple help you reset the password for your old account so you can turn off Find My iPhone and sign into your account with your correct ID.

  • HT204053 Change email for iCloud

    My email changed quickly and I'm not sure how to change in iCloud.  I was able to change iTunes, but not iCloud?

    If you mean you need to change your iCloud ID on your device (which looks like an email address), go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • Leopard iMac now,iPad2 now,new iMac with Lion coming in May,how do I handle moving to iCloud?

    especially email, which is now in MacMail.
    As titile says I have an aging pre Intel iMac running 10.5.8, an iPad 2 with the latest iOS and I am going to replace the old G5 iMac with a new iMac running Lion in May.
    So I will transition my MobileMe to the Cloud before the world as we know it ends...
    My question is whether I can get ahead of the game by using my iPad to move to the iCloud now, and catch up with the desktop transition later--will this result in chaos later?
    I did not do a search for this because I could not fathom how to phrase the search .
    I would be grateful if some iCloud gurus could unravel this for me.
    TIA
    Caroline

    You can do either, if you migrate to iCloud now you will need to use iCloud.com from your browser to access your calendars and contacts though as iCal and address book will cease to sync.

  • TO CHANGE ID FOR ICLOUD -

    I just did the update for iOS7, I would like to change ID that email will be discontinued in one month but I cannot do it, I went in setting, iCloud, delete account.
    Do I have to change my iPad ID first to change
    Brigitte

    Hi jessie,
    To fix this problem, follow the steps below:
    1.     Go back to Manage Your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the old Apple ID - don't verify the email address, it is not necessary for this procedure
    2.     Go to your device to Settings>iCloud, and click on Delete at the bottom of the screen
    3.     It will ask you for your password for that old ID to turn off Find My iPhone - type in the current password that you have set up for your current (not the old) Apple ID
    4.     That should then turn off Find My iPhone and allow you to delete the iCloud account - when it asks if you want to save your Contacts on your phone, say "Yes" if you are going to want to merge them with your new iCloud account
    5.     Go back to Manage Your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to your current Apple ID
    6.     Go back to your device and under Settings>iCloud, sign on with your new Apple ID. Merge your contacts if you have elected to do so
    You should be all set.
    Cheers,
    GB

  • How to change email for iCloud on Iphone?

    I have changed my email adress in my ID but my Iphone is still showing my old, I can change it in the ITunes store but not in iCloud

    Hello _Findus_,
    The steps below can help get your iCloud account updated correctly.
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.

  • Changing name for icloud account

    I created an icloud account on my ipod but the apple ID I use had my dads name. So my icloud account got linked to my dad's apple account. I got a solution that I can unlink that email from the apple id buteven when i log in into icloud it shows my dads name. I tried to change it but every time I log in using my icloud account in apple it takes me to my dads account and my icloud email is not even in the email list there. it is not really unlinking my icloud account from my dads apple ID. Need help as I really like that email and I can't make any more icloud accounts from my ipod because it says I am not allowed to.

    Go here: Apple - My Apple ID
    Manage Account
    Sign in
    Name, ID, Email

  • How do i reset password for icloud email account which is not the same as my apple id password? I cannot see this anywhere in the online support pages.

    How do I reset an icloud email password on my iphone? It is not my apple id password. I cannot see anything in the online support at Apple.

    Go to http://appleid.apple.com to manage your iCloud ID and check to see if your @me.com address is associated with your ID.  If it isn't you'll have to contact iCloud support to see if it is still active, and if so, how to associate it with your account.

  • Change apple id iCloud iPhone 4s

    changed my apple ID using my iMac
    can't change it for iCloud etc

    To change the iCloud ID on your iPhone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going 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.  Next, use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old 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 iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Once i have changed my apple id on the website how do i change it on my phone (for icloud) it is greyed out?

    i have changed my id on the website but on my phone i cant change it for icloud.  my old id address is greyed out so i cant change it?

    Deleting the account only deletes it from your device, not from iCloud.  Your data will reappear when you sign back in, assuming you are signing back into the same account with just a changed name.  The only thing you might want to do before deleting the account is to your camera roll before deleting the account (by tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll).
    If you don't know the password for the old ID, and if your new 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.
