My iCloud Account did not change to my new Apple ID. What do I do now?

My iCloud account did not change from my old Apple ID to the new Apple ID, that I recently set up. What do I do now?

Roger provided you with the steps to get your new ID signed onto iCloud on your Mac. If you have any devices that still have that old iCloud ID still signed on, you will have to do the following for those:
1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your current ID and password, then change your Apple ID back to the old ID (the one that is still showing on iCloud). This is temporary so, do NOT verify the ID, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Go to Settings>iCloud and sroll down to the bottom of the page and click on Delete Account. Use your current Apple ID passoword when asked. Follow the prompts to complete the deletion of the iCloud account
3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and change your ID back to your new ID (you may have to verify it again)
4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your new Apple ID. Everything will be pushed back to your device from your iCloud account - it make take a few minutes
Cheers,

What do I do when my iCloud account is not the same as my Apple ID? And I do not have access to the e-mail address that the iCloud account is set-up under.

How do I get access to the iCloud account to remove/change it on my phone to match my Apple ID?
iPhone 4, trying to access iCloud
cannot remember password
do not have access to the e-mail that the iCloud account is created under
have an Apple ID, it is a different e-mail than the iCloud account.
Went to store and the person there tried a number of things. I tried all manners of possible passwords as well.
End game: Just want to have an iCloud account I can use on my iPhone.

Do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the 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. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

HT204053 I set up my iTune and iCloud account with my work email sometime ago. Last week I changed my iTune email account to a personal email and noticed that the iCloud account has not changed. I pay for additional storage and would like this changed?

My first iTune and iCloud account was set up with a work email address. Last week, I changed my AppleID to a personal email account, but have found that on my iPhone under settings, iCloud, my account still has my work email. How can I change this to reflect my new personal email. I also pay to have extra storage, how is all of this working/tying together? Please help!

Sorry, you cannot use more than one iTunes account at a time.

My icloud-account is not the same as my apple-account

I want to use AirDrop, so I have to log-in with my icloud-account.
On the iphone, the login of my icloud-account is an old emailadress which I don't use anymore. And I can't remember the pasword of this icloudaccount. So it's not possible to delete this account on my iphone and make a new one withe my current apple-account. Could someone help me?

Do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.

The apple id connected with the app store for updates and purchases is outdated and will not change with the new apple id entered on my settings. how to change?

I have changed the apple id on my settings to reflect the current account for all our apple products.
But this is not changing when I go to the App store to make a purchase or install updates.
How do I get the app store connection on my IPAD to go to the apple id i am currently using.
Obviously just changing it on the settings was not enough.

Again, this only affects you if someone *redownloaded* content with a different ID. In my case, I emailed iTunes Store support, explained the situation, and they reset the counter. I recommend you try the same
If you read discussion boards, this is a significant change from a year ago, when Apple told people in the same situation to go f&$# themselves. Clearly it's dawning on them that this is a stupid policy, and my guess is if people keep complaining they'll change it to something more reasonable. Remember, it wasn't that long ago you couldn't re-download content at all.
Apple can't really afford to play hardball on this. Sure, the hardcore fanboys will always say "Thank you sir, may I have another" whatever Apple throws at them, but the rest of us will just switch to Amazon, which has none of these restrictions.

TS3988 I changed my account information but my iCloud email did not change and it will not let me change it on my ipad or phone

I changed my email and password on my apple account. But iCloud won't change the information and will not allow me to make the change

To change the iCloud ID on your iOS devices, 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 data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save these to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

I opened my iPhone but did not change anything is my apple care voided

Is my apple care void if I open but do not alter my iPhone

Yes, fortunately you can still get a warranty from iSmart Protection Plan or Squaretrade. You have other options, but yes - your warranty is void.

Ipod Will Not Change to my New Apple ID

On my iTunes, I changed my email address on my Apple ID. No matter how many times I try to get the new email as the email on iTunes, App Store, and Settings on the iPod itself, it always refers to my old account, with a password I can't remember and an email account that is inactive. I really want to be able to use my iPod and not just my iTunes to utilize my WiFi! Please help!

When you changed the email address it sends a verification email to your account. Did you read this and click the link? It has to be done on laptop or desktop computer, not the ios devices. Make sure you choose "Use Existing Appleid" when signing in. It would be nice knowing which appleid sign in you are having issues with. There are a few. Even just tell us what you tap on to get to the message.

HT5625 I changed my Apple Id but it will not change on my Iphone or Ipad what do I do now?

Folder Redirection did not update to the new server

hello guys, I had migrated quite some time ago to a new server.
I thought everything works fine, basically the server functionality DNS, Replication and other stuff works fine.
But I notice that some of the workstation did not actually update its folder redirection to the new server.
Their desktop and my documents still points to the old server.
So their offline files, is becoming larger and larger.
I have some workaround but it's a lot of work. Question is, why those Win 7 workstation folder redirection did not update to the new server.
What should be the best practice? During the migration process from the old server to the new server, all workstation should be turned on?
Or any tools to update those workstation to the new server without losing their files?
Basically, just editing the registry to point to the new server will help. But it means losing their current files and whatever old stuff that is on the server will be the one that will be shown on their desktop and documents.
any inputs is greatly appreciated.

Hi biswajeetpattnaik, before migration it was Windows 2003.
Then I introduce Windows 2008.
Then I introduce a new Windows 2012.
Now Windows 2012 is the main DC.
Actually, everything is under control right now. As what I said on my first post, I manage to do some work around.
The only question I have on mind, is how on earth this thing happen.
I was assuming, that the workstation will be able to point to the new server, without any glitch since everything is working fine.
And the GPO was applying on the workstation. If I type gpresult /v on the workstation is it being applied. Even if I run GP Modelling it is also shows on the result that the folder redirection is being applied.
But to my surprise the folder redirection still points to old server, if I have not discovered it then it would be difficult if some files will get lost.
Thanks for your reply.

I changed my apple id but the apple id for icloud did not change on my mac. How do I get icloud account information to change and match my new apple id?

I changed my apple id but the applie id for icloud did not change on my mac in system preferences.
I have changed my apple id on system preferences under users and groups but the icloud preferences don't pick up the change.
I restarted my computer, and still no change.
I have been using icloud under my old apple id for mail calendars and notes.
How do I get icloud account information to change on my mac's system preferences and match my new apple id?
I am missing something.
Please help. Thanks.

Thank you Roger, your solution gave me the courage to sign out of Systems Preferences. The pop up told me it was going to delete my contact and other information from my mac, so I was hesitant to do that. Well I did as you directed and I was able to sign in with my new apple id and I did not lose the information the pop up threatened I was going to. So again thank you. It is the little things that make a big difference sometimes.

When I changed my Apple ID the ID did not change on my iCloud account. there appears to be no way to change the ID because I cannot get into account settings for iCloud

When I changed my Apple ID the ID did not change on my iCloud account. there appears to be no way to change the ID because I cannot get into account settings for iCloud

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

HT204053 I changed my AppleID when I bought my iPad. It did not change on my iCloud account on my phone. How do I get my new ID on my phone iCloud?

I need assistance. I changed my AppleID when I bought my iPad but it did not change in iCloud on my iPhone4 so I keep getting error messages. How do I get iCloud to change to my new apple ID.

Save any photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your other ID. This deletes the account and any synced data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in. If you are changing accounts, choose Keep on My iPhone when you delete Account, then choose Merge when you sign into the other account to upload the data to the new account.

I changed my Apple ID but it did not change on the I cloud how do I reset the iCloud

How do I change the iCloud password I did update and change my Apple ID but it did not change the iCloud?

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, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current 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 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.

Hi adamsfly,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you changed your email address and iCloud is looking to sign in with the old Apple ID email. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
