Re: change of primary account holder

I have a very similar problem. I cannot set up my email on a new device because I haven't got the password and one of the security questions expects an answer which doesn't correspond to whaqt it should be. My husband is now incapacitated and he is the primary account holder. I am told I have to close the account and start a new one and I don't feel up to doing that.
How can you help?
Thnak you.

Change of primary account holder information

The primary account owner of the family plan I am in died and I'm just wondering if it's possible to take over the account but not change anything to my current plan. I just want the account to be under my name but remain the same as it is

yeah i have that i just wanted to make sure nothing on my account would change
It really depends on what plan you had before and how many lines you'll have after the AOL.

Primary account holder problems, what can i do?

My ex and I shared an account 5 years ago that was under her name. Since then I took over the phone bill after we split. I went thru the whole process with the AOL and she got a seperate account. Everything is switched over to my name and I am the primary account holder. Im the only one that can access the account and the only one that knows the passcode. Its completely under my responsibility! Up to today, I find out that SSN on the account is still under her name. So, all of the good credit and on time payments over the last 5 years is going under her name. How can I go about changing the SSN to my own and still keep the good credit i have verizon? Is it my fault for not going over everything with verizon?

I was at the store but they couldnt do much. I called CS, They needed my ex's verbal approve to make me primary account holder. Luckily, I still have my ex's number (dont know why). She said that account belongs to me and she parted completely with that account and created a new one. We both told CS that we gone thru this process 5 years ago. Now theyre gonna call me back and see if I have to pay a deposit to switch the account. *** is that?

Verizon Cloud login for iPad and PC for second line (not primary account holder line)

I am the primary account holder but the primary line is associated with my wife's phone so I added Verizon Cloud to the second line which is my phone.
I downloaded the Verizon Cloud app to my iPhone and backed up my data. The Verizon Cloud app did not ask for a password and must have recognized that my device was authorized.
However, I can not access my Verizon Cloud "account" for my line from my iPad or PC. When I use the account name and password for My Verizon (which is associated with the primary line) I get an error.
During the setup process of the Verizon Cloud app on my phone I supplied my email address but was never asked to setup a password for my line/device.
How can I access my line's Verizon Cloud storage from my iPad or PC?
Does Verizon Cloud only work for the primary account holder?
Thanks!
David

I guess I should have read the Verizon Cloud FAQ #2. For anyone interested in the same answer I'll post it here:
Can other individuals on my Verizon Wireless account access my Verizon Cloud storage account?No, your Verizon Cloud account is tied to your own individual mobile number. No one else on your account (including the Account Owner) can sign in to your Verizon Cloud account without access to your password for My Verizon.
If you’re the Account Owner or want to manage the content of a different mobile number, you’ll need tosign in to My Verizon with that mobile number and password, or create a new My Verizon account for that number if it doesn’t already exist.

How to change iCloud primary account without deleting ical entries on existing primary account?

Hi, I've got a bit confused and befuddled with my icloud account(s), as I had a MobileMe account before icloud and an itunes / Apple account. On my iphone and ipad, I've set up icloud on my itunes / Apple account details, which means I have a photo stream that works between these two devices. I also have something silly like 7 ical calendars on my iphone / ipad; two on an icloud account under the same log-in as my itunes, one on my gmail email account (which is the email account that is also my itunes / Apple account name) and four on a @me.com account I acquired from the old MobileMe days. Although not perfect, it's worked ok for a while, until I wanted to move photos from iphoto on my mac to my photo stream, and realised I had two photo stream accounts, and the one linked to my mac wouldn't enable photos to be seen on my iphone or ipad.
So I read a lot of stuff on here and decided I needed to change my primary icloud on my mac, ensuring it was my itunes account rather than my icloud account. I did this last night and all the diary entries in my mac ical disappeared. I then went back and deleted the itunes account details as my primary account and reinstalled the icloud details. On doing this, I realised I only have four calendars in my mac ical - and these are all on my @me.com account, none of the gmail calendars appear.
What I'd like to do, if possible, is migrate all my @me.com calendars and photo stream into one icloud account, using my itunes log-in details. This will, hopefully, mean I can cut down on the number of calendars on my iphone and ipads, ensure everything synchs across the mobile devices and my mac, and ensure I can use photo stream across all three. Can anyone suggest how I can do this please?

When you delete an iCloud account from a device, that has no effect on the iCloud accounts on other devices or the content in that iCloud account. You are just deleting that account from that particular device.
Her content will still be in iCloud.

TS4020 I don't want to delete the secondary iCloud account? How do I change the primary account without deleting the old primary account!?

We want to change the Primary iCloud account on one of the businesses computers and all it tells us is to delete it. We don't want to because we're afraid this will also delete all the meetings and other things saved on this account. Can anyone tell us how to simply change and not delete. Or can you let us know if you do lose anything if you delete an iCloud account??
Thanks

Never mind, I figured it out!

Changing iCloud primary account on iPad 2

I'm trying to change my primary iCloud account on my iPad, I have read previous directions that say to just hit the delete button in settings etc, however my primary account doesn't have a delete option :( ???
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You'll find your primary account at settings > iCloud, the delete button can be seen at the bottom of the page by scrolling down.

Change iCloud primary account, change iCloud primary account

I had to set up a new Apple ID, added an additional email account and used that for my apple id. Now iCloud keeps bringing up the old original id name as the primary and I want to change it to the new one. I know if I put in the old password to go with that original email, apple is going to say I need a new password (because I have reset it). How can I cancel the original email address and make iCloud recognize the new email address and password. It seems to be an endless cycle I can't get out of. I keep having to change my password because of these 2 email accounts not recognizing each other.

If you mean you are trying to change the primary email account associated with your iCloud ID, you do that as explained here: Change your Apple ID. Before doing this, be sure to turn off Find My iDevice on all your iOS devices, and Find My Mac on your Mac. Then you can change the ID as desired. After changing it, you will have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, then sign back in with the changed ID, then turn Find My iDevice back on. On a Mac, you would need to go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the changed ID and re-enable Find My Mac.

HT204053 how do i change my primary account?

I have two icloud accounts. It seems the one I do not want to use as my Primary account is my Primary and I haven't figured out how to change it. HELP?

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")

Is there a way to see previous data usage if not the primary account holder?

I am not the primary account and therefore cannot look at bills to see previous usage. Is there anywhere on the website I could find this? I know in the past, I've been able to get the last 3 months (either from website or phone app, I don't remember which), but now Verizon has gone backwards and made it harder to get that information. Perhaps they don't want us to easily find how much is being used so they can bill us for extra overage charges, especially now that data is where their big bucks come from???

Only the primary I believe can. It has always been that way from what I remember.

Can Primary Account Holder See My Messages?

I'm on a plan where I am on a sub account. Everything is in my friend's name as SS#. Can she see, online, the picture/video or text messages I send and receive?

As long as you are not uploading the pictures to be viewed on the Verizon website! Any pictures uploaded to Verizon to be shared that way, can be viewed by the account holder. If you are just sending and receiving them from one phone to another, then the sender and recipient are the only ones who will see them.

Changing the Main Account Holder

Would I be able to transfer ownership of the plan to my wife? We recently found that my wife could get a significantly better employee discount on our plan if she was the account holder. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies to this message.

Tpulu, thanks for the inquiry. I understand why you would want to switch the account from your name to your wife's name to get a bigger discount. This is called an Assumption of Liability. Since the account is currently in your name, you would first need to call customer service at *611 or 800-922-0204 to authorize the request. Your wife will need to accept our terms and conditions for a 1 year contract. These can be found on vzw.com under Customer Agreement at the bottom of the page. She will then need to call our Assumption of Liability team at 888-832-4540 to get this completed.
You and your wife can also visit a Verizon Wireless corporate store to get this completed also. Make sure you both take ID and she takes her work badge or a paycheck stub with personal info blacked out.

Primary account holder is buying iPhone 4, then giving it to me?

My mom is the primary line on our Verizon account. She is elegible to upgrade to the iPhone 4, but I am not. We want to pre-order the phone for me on the 3rd, then swap our upgrade dates when the phone comes in and activate the phone in my name. I've read things about manually having to change the MEID number to the MDN number if that's what we do but I have no idea what that means. Lots of thanks to whoever can answer this for me.

OP, Suzy is correct but there is one thing to note here which is very important. What kind of phone does your mother have now? The iPhone requires a data plan. If your mother does not currently have a smart phone, then when she buys the iPhone she will have to add a data plan. When she goes to downgrade back to a non data plan, it may cause issues. This may be less likely if you are on a family plan, because you are dealing with one account. The only reason why I mention it is because last time I was in a VZW store there was someone next to me trying to argue with them to downgrade a line to a non-data plan, and even though they had a non-smart phone ready to activate the CS rep said they could not remove the data package because that's what they had signed up on the account with. This did not make any sense to me because the data package is an "option" and not a minute plan, so it should be able to be removed and not breech a contract as long as you activate a phone that does not require a data plan instead. I stayed out of it as it was not my business, but it may come up especially if you and your mother are on two separate plans.
[lol's for the random side note here...]
One more verification to my previous post regarding the iPhone. Good luck kid. : )

How can I change my primary account on iTunes from one computer to another computer?

I opened an iTunes account years ago when I had a Dell, and after the Dell crashed, I got a new Macbook and authorized the mac to play all my iTunes music and whatnot that I had bought on the Dell. I don't want this computer to just be "authorized", however. I would like to know how to set this mac as the primary computer so that I can then authorize 5 additional computers to play my music. Does anyone know how to do this or have a phone number for Apple to get in touch with someone who can do it for me? Thanks very much!

Open iTunes on your Mac, click "iTunes Store" on the upper right, then click "Account" on the middle right. Sign in there. That will make the signed in account the "primary".

Changing the primary account

I'm certain this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find the info I think I need.
I've just bought a used MacBook Pro (first used Mac I've ever bought). It's a mid-2012 13" model running OSX 10.8.5
Somewhat annoyingly it's still showing the original owner as the main account/user and I'd like to change it to show my details (as my other and prior MacBooks do).
Is this possible and, if so, how is it done?
And while I'm on, I've reverted to using Mail rather than Entourage and, unlike Entourage, it's giving me grief over the fonts used in composing a message. Despite me selecting Arial 12pt as the default font, any message I send arrives in something that looks like Courier - even though on screen and before hitting send, it looks to be in Arial. Anyone got any bright ideas?
