Signed into I cloud with wrong ID, and cannot change it

I accidently put in the wrong apple ID on my new iphone 6 in Icloud settings.. Now I am  having problems everytime I try to download an app. How do I change it to the correct apple ID in I cloud? When I try to sign out it, and change it, it says I will lose all contents, and contacts on my phone?

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.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your 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 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.

  • Signing into creative cloud with a different account?

    I was previously signed into creative cloud under another ID, I do not have access to that account/email anymore. I'm attempting to log in with another ID and it doesn't give me an option to sign in with a different account. I've even uninstalled and re-installed several times. Help.

    Lindsay.havens1 where are you choosing to log out?  I would recommend going to your Creative Cloud Desktop application and signing out in the preferences.  They can be located in the top right hand corner under the gear icon.

    ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them.  Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password.  Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.

  • I have two different iCloud accounts. I can't sign into photo stream with my personal account and have tried deleting from my iPhone first, then the MacBook Pro. Still won't let me sign in with the personal account. Please help.

    I have two different iCloud accounts - business and personal. I can't sign into Photo Stream with my personal account because it says my business account is my primary account. They are separate but equal accounts. I have tried deleting the iCloud account from my iPhone, then my MacBook Pro and signing in again on both devices. The iPhone says that my primary account ismy personal account (which is good) but my MacBook Pro still will not sign into that account so I can use Photo Stream.
    Any suggestions? This iCloud stuff is getting annoying.

    Why am I constantly having to sign into Creative Cloud and agree to the ELUA every time I launch an app?? I have to do this 2-4 times a day and it is reducing work efficiency.

    What did you phone carrier say when you contacted them about your cellular data issues?

  • My iPad 4 wifi 3G keeps charging slowly takes half a hour to get to 15% when plug into the wall with the plug and the lead what come with the iPad just wondering as I think some thing is wrong with the iPad

    My iPad 4 wifi 3G keeps charging slowly takes half a hour to get to 15% when plug into the wall with the plug and the lead what come with the iPad just wondering as I think some thing is wrong with the iPad

    Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
    Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight.  Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone charger.  Do NOT use a computer's USB port.  Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).  An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
    I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem.  I am stating, however, that we don't yet know.  If the above test does, in fact, indicate a problem, read this.
    Also, according to Apple:
    Use Your iPad Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

    I have a new MacBook Air 11'inch  and I presume that it should come with the iLife programs. However, when I signed into the appstore with my account I have used with all of my Mac products, it now said I had to purchase each program, like iPhoto, iMovie, ect. seperate. I have already logged in and out of my account and called the "free" part of tech support. How can I reslove this issue?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you really have a new MacBook, iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand come with the Mac for free.
    As you see their price at the Mac App Store, it's clear that there's a problem with your MacBook. Simply return it if you purchased it less than 14 days ago and you will receive a new MacBook

  • My i phone was stolen and now I need to upload my contact to my i cloud from my I tunes...any ideas how to import contacts into i cloud, with either i tunes or with old iphone

    My i phone was stolen and now I need to upload my contacts to my i cloud from my I tunes...any ideas how to import contacts into i cloud, with either i tunes or with old iphone?

    If you have the contacts on the phone you can sync the phone to the computer. The contacts should then show in address book. At this point you can sync the address book data to iCloud. You have to make sure the iCloud account is setup on the computer and this will not work unless the computer is running 10.7.2 of course. There are other ways to add the contacts to iCloud like through the phone but the phone must be running iOS5. If it is you can simply add the cloud account to the phone and toggle the contacts slider. You will get a prompt to keep or delete the contact data. Of course you keep. Then you will get a prompt to merge at which point you do. This should merge the contacts on the phone with iCloud. Hope this helps.

  • Every time i try to sign into creative cloud it says you have been signed out?

    I just want to buy adobe photoshop.... in the last 2 hours my computer has been plagued with viruses and nearly destroyed as i couldnt access the internet and didnt know what to do. Now every time i try to download it it tells me to sign into creative cloud. Every time i type in my email and my password and click sign in it says you have now been signed out.... this is the most un userfriendly website i have ever seen and im not recomending it to anybody.... Somebody tell me why im being trolled by this damn thing... this has been seen by 25 people.. the website continues to do this. I never buying another adobe product again and im gonna make sure my friends dont either... good bye

    CM_Martketing and MikeBanks are correct, but I think what is confusing some people is that they are mistaking their Mac HD for the user name. I kind of had to mash up 2 posts to get it right:
    1: Open Activity monitor from spotlight and end all Adobe related processes. You may find processes like AAMupdater, AAMupdater notifier, Adobe Crash demon process.
    2: Open Finder and navigate Macintosh HD/Users/[your user name]/Library (the library folder might be grayed out, just right click and select open)
    3: Now navigate to Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/.. folder.
    4: Delete opm file under OOBE.
    5: Rename OOBE to OOBEold.
    6: Check if you have AAMupdater in the adobe folder.
    7: Please rename it to AAMupdaterold.
    8: Click on gear icon on Creative Cloud desktop app and choose Quit Creative Cloud.
    9: Then launch it, sign-in and click on Apps tab.
    It worked perfectly! Thanks everyone, I've been trying to figure this out for a month!

    Howdy Danny,
    You should be able to find that lost iPhone with the Find My iPhone. It will let you locate the iPhone on a map or play a tone in case it’s under a couch cushion.
    To learn more about how it works and the features, take a look at this article:
