Problem of identifying change iCloud on my iPad

Belgium (french).
Hello,
I changed of identifying Apple ( my email). On my iPad, the identifier Apple is my former(old) email and identifier.  How to update the iClod identifier on my iPad. This identifier is not accessible(approachable) any more with my password.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
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.
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.
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.

  • Can't change iCloud id on Ipad or iphone

    I recently moved and my old email address was stopped and I created a new one.  I changed the apple id on the apple web site and was able to log out on itunes on my Iphone and Ipad and change it there, but icloud won't let me change it.  I am unable to change it back to my old email address on the apple web site as it no longer exists, so I can't verify it.  How do I get it changed?

    Delete the iCloud account from your device and then sign in again. When you delete the account, you do not delete the content in iCloud, but you delete the account from the device itself. When you sign back in again, use your changed email address and that should work.
    Settings>iCloud>Delete account. You might want to restart your iPad and then sign into iCloud again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Need to change iCloud ID on ipad

    I forgot to delete my acct on my ipad for iCloud when I changed my iCloud address on my iPhone. Now I can not sign on with the new apple iCloud ID on my ipad. I do not have the old password, the acct was deleted and changed. How do I change the iCloud address on my ipad?  It will not allow me to reset the old password.  Frustrated!  Thanks

    Hi sstuls1,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you would like to change the iCloud account on your iPad, you can delete it from the iCloud settings page. This will remove all iCloud data from your iPad, and will allow you to sign in with another Apple ID (iCloud account). Use these steps to make this change:
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

  • If I use iCloud on my iPad, will it change my MobileMe functions like iWeb on my iMac? My iMac uses Snow Leopard.

    If I use iCloud on my iPad, will it change my MobileMe functions on my iMac which uses Snow Leopard. In other words will it disable functions like iWeb on my iMac?

    As a follow-up . . . I downloaded and installed Virtual Box, purchased a legal issue of Windows XP (not easy since Microsoft doesn't sell it anymore), installed it, installed Quicken 2009 in "the Box" and then the problems began. Trying to migrate my Quicken data files from my laptop PC to the Virtual Box Quicken program turned out to be the most frustrating thing I've been through for quite awhile. Error after error without any explanation of what I was doing wrong (or not doing) kept me scratching my head and re-reading the VB manual for nearly two days. Today I finally had success and all three of my Quicken accounts are comfortably residing in my iMac and working perfectly (so far . . . knock, knock).
    It was well worth the effort because now all I need to do is open VB (about 3 seconds), click open Windows (about 5 seconds) and open Quicken ( <5 more seconds) and I'm ready to go to work.
    Thanks for the advice typod360 . . . it's much apprecoiated.

  • How do I change ICloud email account on iPad 4?

    I Have recently changed my email address.  I changed my account on ICloud but when I try to access ICloud on my Ipad it comes up with my old email address grayed out and I cannot access my old account or change it to the new email address.  I am currently signed in under the account linked to my new email address and when I tried signing in under my old account that didn't work either.  Can anyone offer me any advice please.

    You should be able log out of the account via Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and you can then log back in with the updated version of your account

    To change it, you have delete the existing account.  However you can avoid losing any pictures in the process.  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.  (Camera roll photos are not effected by deleting the account.)
    Then 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.

    I'm having a similar problem, but I do have the key and is not working anyway.
    My old pc was running on windows 7 and my new one is an apple running on Lion.
    My phone is an Iphone IV and I can see all the bookmarks there.
    In order to sync, what I did was click on the "I don't have the device with me", I entered the key that was provided and the process finish ok. It says congratulations, etc, etc.
    But the bookmarks are not there, I tried merging data and replacing data on this computer options but is the same.
    Any suggestions?

  • I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords but it does not work for the macbook.

    I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords several times but it does not work for the macbook.

    You will have to provide the correct password to delete the existing account, if you have tried but are not getting the password reset email, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

  • HT4436 How can I change my Apple ID for icloud on my ipad to be same as on my iPhone?

    How can I change my Apple ID for icloud on my ipad to be the same as my Apple ID for icloud on my iPhone?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Delete the account from the iPad, log in again using the ID you use on the phone.

  • I recently changed my password to my apple id and was able to log into everything fine except the icloud on my ipad.  It reverted back to an old apple id and I don't know the password.  I have tried all the suggestions and no luck.

    You didn't say what you've tried, but f the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, 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.  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.

    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")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.
