My icloud ID on my iphone is incorrect how do I change this?

Several weeks ago I updated my Apple ID with a new e-mail address - this effectively cancelled the previous profile e-mail address. The settlings for iCloud on my Iphone 4 displays the old ID but I am not able to log in using the previous password nor can I change the id on the phone. I have read previous advice from the forum which appears to predate IOS7 but I can not delete the profile as it requires the password which is no longer valid.

Lots of views but no replies so I managed to figure it out for myself.
I created an apple ID using my old email address and selected a new password. Once I verified the email address I was then able to sucessfully log in to iCloud on my device with the newly selected password, I then deleted that profile from my handset and replaced it with my regular apple id.
Problem solved.

Hi Francessco,
If the password saved for iCloud on you iPhone is incorrect, but you know the correct password (for example, you can log in to your account at iCloud.com), you may need to update the saved password on the device. You may find the following article helpful:

Hi foxie-d,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this.
iCloud: If email shows the wrong time
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2644
When you send or receive email, the time it was sent or received appears in the email header (the information at the top of the email). If the time shown in your email header is incorrect, you need to change the time zone setting for your iCloud account.
Change the time zone on iCloud.com
Click your account name, then choose Account Settings.
Click Time Zone, then click a time zone on the map.
You can also click the time zone name below the map, then choose a time zone from the pop-up menu.
Click Done.
You need to log out of iCloud, then log back in to see the changed time zone in iCloud Mail.
Happy New Year!

HT4113 My Iphone is locked and the passcode I'm using is being reported by the Iphone as incorrect, how can I change the password?

my nephew was playing a practical joke on me and changed my passcode for my Iphone. Unfortunately, the joke backfired cause he misspelled the passcode when typing it in and now we can't open my iphone. Is there anyway to fix this? I have an icloud account if that is an option.

You may be able to restore your iPhone by connecting it to iTunes. If iTunes prompts you for the passcode, then you'll have to wipe your iPhone and restore it to factory settings. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212.

IPhoto stopped importing iPhone photos automatically, how to i change this?

so whenever i connected my iphone to my imac the photos i had would back up onto iphoto immediately but now they dont do it at all. How to i fix this? Could it have something to do with icloud?

Your situation really is confusing. Try moving the Originals folder you moved out of the Rescue folder back into the rescue folder. Then move the Rescue folder back into the pictures folder. The Rescue folder should now be as it was earlier. Launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, locate and select the Rescue folder. If it open OK and you have your library as it was before we started you can move the other library to the desktop. Then take the Originals folder out of that library folder and import into your Rescue library. That was you'll have all of the pictures in the library. But before you do, make a temp copy of the Rescue folder (select and type Command-D) just in case.

My iCloud account password expires every three months, how can I change this?

Hi!
For a long while ago, that every three months my iCloud password expires. This indeed could be a nice security feature, but I don't find any settings to change it back. I guess there is no way, for me, to change this setting, could support do that for me?

I don't think there is an expiration, since I still use my password I set up some time ago; however Apple's servers that are responsible for security, reacts to any suspicious activity on your account and requests reset, e.g. if you purchase a new app while on vacationing in another country or your kids playing on your Mac and trying to enter an incorrect password, which I'm thinking both instances would trigger a security flag on your account. You may want to call Apple and speak with them concerning this to see if that might help.

My recovery email address is incorrect how can I change this

Hi
I have forgotten the answers to my security questions and the recovery email address is incorrect, how can I amend the recovery email address?
Thanks

You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.
It isn't possible to add or change the rescue email address without supplying two of the answers.

When I open my mail on iCloud it opens in Archive... how do I change this?

I want to be taken to my Inbox, not the Archive, when I open my mail in icloud.com. This seems very strange for it to default to archive. It didn't always do this. I've checked "Preferences" and cannot find anything where I can change what folder is the default when you open up iCloud Mail. Please help!

Change the zoom level in the document's properties, under Open Options.

I gave my old iPhone to my partner. We reset it and set up new e-mail accounts for her. But in Settings the iCloud account is still in my name . How do we change this?

I gave my partner my old 3GS. Everything worked well for a couple of years. Then a week ago she was not able to use her gmail and yahoo e-mail accounts. With the yahoo account she is being asked to give my ID and password. We have deleted and restored the accounts.
WHen I look at settings, it appears in ICloud that the phone is still registered in my name? How do we change this? In doing so will she lose all her information from the past two years?
We backed up the phone to a pc two days ago.
MY worry is that the backup has the incorrect information so we may get into a cycle of restoring it and not fixing the problem.
Regards

You are only as young as you feel......
This is an example of how you can select the exact content that you want to sync to your device. You do not have to sync the entire iTunes library. You can pick and choose the music, apps, books and so on that you want to sync. This is using music as an example.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on only the albums or playlists that you want to sync.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
You can do this with apps, books, movies .... Whatever .... You have the freedom to sync whatever you want.

TS5223 i have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud

have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in 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 iDevice, 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 iDevice 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.
