TS3988 How can I change my iCloud ID? I moved and the email I used to set it up no longer exists.

I want to correct my iCloud ID as the email address I used to set it up will no longer exist when I move.
If I delete the account it says will delete all my contact, calendar, etc. data from my device and I could not deal with that.
How can I change it and save my data on my devices?

I have already changed my Apple ID, but now I need to change my ICLOUD ID.
I can delete the iCloud ID, but then it tells me that it will delete all the data from my device - calendars, contacts etc. which would be totally unacceptable. One of the other threads says you can select save my data, but unless that option is buried it does not appear on the deletion screen.
So the question remains - how do I change my iCloud ID to a valid email address.  The one I used to set it up will go away in a week when I move and cancel my present Internet service.  Comcast doesn't provide service where we're moving so the email address will go away.

    If it's your non-iCloud mail address, start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account
    If it is your iCloud mail address you want to change, you can't.

  • TS3988 How can I change my iCloud account and password? If I delete the account, I do not want all info deleted.

    I want to change my iCloud account and password without losing info that has been backed up.

    Your iCloud account ID and password are the AppleID and password you used when you created the account.  As fromsouth says, change the password for the AppleID and you've changed it for your iCloud login.  You can also change the primary email address of that AppleID if you need to.

  • How can I change my iCloud apple id to a different email address?

    I followed the directions in apple id support, but when I go to myappleid on my iMac, it already has my mobileme email address and no "edit" button to change it.  I don't want it as my primary email.  My iPhone is set up with the email account I use most, so now I have two iCloud accounts by accident.  Can anyone help me straighten this out?

  • Why has my iCloud id become my old email address from years ago. My apple id is my current one. How can I change my icloud one so it is the same?

    My mum's iCloud username is coming up as her old email address frok years ago. She can't sign in as can't remember the password for it And has no access to the email address. I updated successfully her iTunes/Apple id years ago & is still up and running. How do I get rid of this iCloud id and make it her recent email. I'm confused why this has happened in the 1st place

    With iOS 7 you will have to provide the password for the old ID in order to delete the existing account from your iPad.  If you can't do this, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Produces & Services>Apple ID>iTunes Store, App Store or Mac App Store>Disabled Apple ID.
    As far as your missing contacts, when you get the password for the old ID reset, sign in with the ID and your new password at icloud.com and check to see if your contacts are there.  If they are, export them as a vCard as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606.  You can then import this vCard to your new account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605.

  • How can I access my iCloud with no password and my email "me" isn't working.

    I've lost my password and my e-mail is asking for that password. So I'm unable to request a new password. Is there a way to solve this problem?

    If you know the answers to your security questions, or if using two-step verification you have your recovery key, you can reset it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787.  If you don't, you'll have to contact iTune store support: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • HT201363 Can't remember security question answers and the email I use as Apple Id is no longer active, so I can't get a rescue email/ or verification, what do I do!!!??

    Can't remember answers to security questions and email for apple Id is no longer active, what do I do? Yes I have rang apple and they say I have to answer questions!!!

    What number did you ring ? You won't be able to update your rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions. You should be able to get them reset either by contacting iTunes Support or calling Apple.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • I don't remember my old Apple ID and I closed my email account that I was using for my old Apple ID. Now, how can I change my icloud id on my Ipad. The old icloud id is still on my Ipad.

    I don't remember my old Apple ID and I closed my email account that I was using for my old Apple ID. Now, how can I change my icloud id on my Ipad. The old icloud id is still on my Ipad.

    ChrisJ4203,
    Thank you for the help.  Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID.  I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone.  In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one.  My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID.  Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I  agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

  • HT4623 How can I change my Icloud account on my ipad to the one I use on my iphone?

    How can I change my Icloud account on my ipad to the one I use on my iphone?
    For example on my iphone I log in with a yahoo account.  My ipod was originally set up with another e-mail account (which I can't remember the password).  I want to use the yahoo e-mail and the password associated with it to log on to both devices.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    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.

  • How can I change my icloud email details and password on icloud

    how can I change my icloud email details and password on my iphone 5s tried all day without success, I have changed my apple ID and password thats okay.
    Joan

    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.

    That's definitely not supposed to happen.  You shouldn't have someone else's iCloud email linked to your ID.
    You'll have to get iCloud support to sort this one out.  The only way to contact them is to start here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/.  You'll have to provide your iPhone serial number.  Unless it's within the 90 day free support window, or you purchased AppleCare, there will be a charge.  I suppose you can plead your case when they answer that you shouldn't be charged as you didn't set up this address and it shouldn't have happened with your ID.
