Merge icloud and apple id account?

I want to merge my icloud account with my apple id account which is currently under a different email address.  Is this possible?

Sorry, but you can't merge Apple IDs. (Your iCloud account ID is also an Apple ID.)

  • HT204053 how to merge iCloud and Apple IDs?

    How can I merge my iCloud and Apple ID's?

    I just got off the phone with Apple's support (got transferred several times, but they finally transferred me to an "expert" in the security department.
    I'm moving to the east coast, and my current ISP is only local to the California Bay Area, so I need to use a new email address for my AppleID.  I thought the obvious choice would be my icloud.com email address.
    The Apple support "expert" was confused, but eventually said I'd need to create a non-apple email to use as my email address for my existing AppleID if I didn't want two separate ID's.
    My response was "So Apple is recommending that I do NOT use iCloud and I should create an non-Apple email account?"  He said "Unfortunately, yes."
    Come on Apple - you look riduculous.  You're abandoning loyal long time customers by saying either create and manage two AppleID's or don't use "iCloud" so you can have a single AppleID.
    It's time for Apple to step up and fix this ridculous mess.

  • After deleting iCloud and Apple ID accounts from the device, the new user sees the e-mail addresses, whom I wrote earlier letters

    After removal of the iCloud account on iPad and exit all my Apple ID accounts on the device iPad 4, which is used now by another person with other account when he write a new e-mail message the other person sees my contact address. What you need to do to other people could not see my contacts? At the same time they are not in the phonebook

    To fix, first remove your secondary e-mail address that was @mac.com via appleid.apple.com.  This should get rid of that email address (but not the ID).
    Then delete your iCloud account from your iPhone and reactivate it using @me.com as your Apple ID.
    The Apple ID will remain as @mac.com but when you access iCloud Account Information, the Advanced part says "Mail : @me.com".
    Hope this helps.

  • My icloud and Apple ID aren't the same email address. My phone wont let me change my icloud email. I don't know the password to my icloud account, and every time I try to email myself the password, it doesn't go through.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple ID and iCloud email address don't need to be the same, you can't change an iCloud email address.
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

  • I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

    I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

    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.

  • Can anyone help with icloud and apple accounts getting mixed up on 2 phones?

    Basically husband upgraded from 4s to 5c. Gave dad 4s. I tried to set his dad up with icloud and apple id but didn't realise husbands old sim card was in 4s. Now neither phone works and husband very annoyed his apple id and password don't work anymore. Please help!!!

    Hi Chris
    So husband got new phone. Was all set up and up and running when we left the shop
    Gave dad the old phone. It was locked to Vodafone so we had to ask them to unlock. He then got his three sim cut down to fit.
    Weeks after husband had his 5c we went to dads to set his 4s up. I upgraded it to latest software iOS something. Anyway didn't realise it was husbands old sim still in phone.
    After upgrade it asked me to set up apple account (I think) could have been icloud. Anyway I started setting it up with dads email and password choice. Husband then saw message on his 5c saying his dads email was being added to something on his phone.
    At this point I left alone but now when husband tries to use his apple id for apps etc it says invalid user id or password. It's as though the 2 have got mixed up. Bit it won't let him reset his password?
    Does this make sense?

    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.

  • ICloud and Apple ID info no longer available on iPod Touch

    I have been using iCloud to back up my iPod for the last couple of months. Suddenly in the last couple of days under Settings on my iPod Touch 4th gen. iCloud is no longer available (visible but greyed out), and under Settings/iTunes my Apple ID: ... is greyed out and I can't access the information. This happened after I set up a second computer at home to access iTunes and download music etc. Can anyone tell me why and how to fix this?

    You're wonderful! I changed it from Don't Allow to Allow and iCloud and Apple ID info are now available again. Had checked in here myself but didn't realise that this was the problem. Thanks!

    Contact your carrier and the police. If it was lost in a specific building, ask the people running it.

  • ICloud and Apple TV

    With iCloud and Apple TV, if I have purchased tv shows, music or movies that aren't on my computer can they be streamed from iCloud directly to the Apple TV or would they have to be on my computer?

    Being in UK I'm not 100% certain but Music yes, TV Shows I think so, and Movies currently no.
    If they are on the cpmputer or can be accessed in Purchased in iTunes to download to iTunes then they could stream from iTunes to the AppleTV2 over the LAN.

  • What is the best DNS server for iCloud and Apple services?

    Hello. Im wondering what is the best DNS server to use with iCloud, and apple services.
    Does apple have a dedicatrd DNS server?
    I read a couple of articles stating that the google DNS servers like 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 slow down apple and facebook services.
    Did a couple of tests like iTunes streaming and found out that its true in some cases.

    Not always!
