Somehow I have 2 iCloud accounts...How do I change the account one of my devices is logged into?

If you are using your main account for iTunes, you should continue to do so, otherwise you will lose access to many of your purchased items made that account.
You can delete the AOL account for iCloud only on your iPhone and first iPad, by going to settings > iCloud, scrolling down and hitting delete account button. You will then enter your me account details into the iCloud settings.
When you delete your AOL account from the iCloud settings, the phone should give you the option of keeping your data on the phone, you need to make sure that you choose this option, and also choose the option to merge when you add your new account back.

I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!

That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

I keep having this problem too, no one seems to know how to fix it. Can't delete the account without turning off the 'find my iphone' app. Cant' turn it off without the ID....it's a vicious cycle.

How can I change the account name in iCloud. My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

To change your iCloud ID, 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.
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.
To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID.

My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer. For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it. I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud. How do I change the Apple ID (not the password)?

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.

Hi,
Are you talking about changing the Apple ID used for purchases in iTunes? If so go to 'Settings->iTunes & App Store-> then 'tap' on the Apple ID that appears and click Sign Out on menu that appears. You can now login with a different Apple ID.
Regards,
Steve

How can i change the account name to our firm's name?

how can i change the account name to our firm's name?

The name that appears in Adobe Send is the name that you used when you created your Adobe ID. You can update this by clicking on your name in the upper-right corner and selecting My Information ...
Once the My Information dialog appears, you can change the First Name and Last Name on the account. Note that you're updating your Adobe ID, so in many places where you use that Adobe ID, it will display with those names. (Some Adobe sites, such as this forum, use other screennames; those would not be affected.)

How do u change the account holder in the app store

How do you change the account holder in the app store? Thanks

I'm not sure what you are actually asking, but if you mean how do you sign into another Apple ID - go to Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap the ID that you are signed into and sign out of that one, then sign in with the other ID. You can do this in the App Store as well, by going to the featured tab and swipe to the bottom of the screen. Tap on the ID there and sign out, then sign in with the other ID.
You can't change the account holder of an iTunes account. The account is yours and yours alone. Someone else can use it, but you can't transfer ownership of the account.

How do I change the order, in an IOS device, of iPhote Events?

How do I change the order, in an IOS device, of iPhote Events.
It seems sometimes they are in order by "Event Title" and sometimes they are in order by "Event Date".
I can change the order, as I please, in iPhoto on my Mac.
But what controls the order in IOS devices is a mystery to me.
Thoughts?

That's not quite true.
There is a connection between the last sort order of the event in iPhoto.
IPhoto allows events to be sorted in a number of ways. The sort order in the IOS device is driven by this but I'm not sure how it works exactly.
Yesterday, the events in the IOS device were in Date order as you suggested but today they are in Title order.
Does anyone know the exact rules?

HT204053 I have changed my apple ID, but the account info on iCloud is still showing my old ID. How do I change the account name/ID for iCloud?

I have changed my Apple ID but the account info on iCloud is still referencing the old ID. How do I change the iCloud account details?

If you simply renamed your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account. This will delete the account from your phone (but not from iCloud) as well as any synced data. But provided you are signing back into the same account (just with a new name) it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in. Then set up your iCloud account with the new ID name and turn syncing back on. If you have photos in your photo stream album that are older than 30 days that you don't have anywhere else, you will need to save these to your camera roll before deleting the account. To do this, open your photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If, however, you are changing to a new ID you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (Be sure to save any photo stream photos to your camera roll prior to deleting the account, as mentioned above.) Next, set up a new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.

For my iCloud account, how do I change the "full name" that appears as the sender?

On my iCloud IMAP email account, the account lists my "full name" as the sender. How do I change this to a nickname? Curently, that "full name" rectangle is grayed out so I don't know how to change what's there. Thanks for your help!

You need to change this on the iCloud website, http://icloud.com - go to the Mail page, click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Preferences', then click 'Accounts' in the toolbar of the pane which opens.
Select the main account and you can change the Full Name. If you have aliases you will have to change it separately for each of them.
