TS4009 how to change apple id for icloud on an ipod touch

I recently had to change my email address on my apple ID can it will not let me change in on icoud on my ipod touch.. it's greyed out and I cannot click on it to change it.. Please help as I am in major need of a backup

If you want to restore to an iCloud backup you have to erase the device and go back throught the initial setup screens.  If you have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.
After restoring, turn on your iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. in Settings>iCloud and this data will be synced back to your phone.

    how to change apple id for icloud?

    From the knowledgeable Roger Wilmut:
    You can't change the primary email address, the one you created when you opened an iCloud account (or if you migrated from MobileMe the address you log in with) other than by opening a completely new account.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
    However you can create three 'email aliases' - these are extra addresses, not accounts, which deliver into the same inbox as the main address.

    It's actually quite a good idea to give out an alias address rather than the main one, since these can be easily changed should you get spammed.

  • HT204053 How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.

    How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.

    Settings-icloud-scroll to the bottom, select delete, if you want to keep the content select keep, otherwise it'll remove it. Then once it is done add the account information for the account you want on that phone.  Your apple ID in settings-store will remain the same and each device can still purchase/use content from that account.

  • How do I change Apple ID for iCloud account?

    I changed Apple ID online because my email address changed. How can I change Apple ID for iCloud?

    If you renamed your iCloud ID and need to change it on your device, 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.

  • How to change Apple id in iCloud @ device

    I have sucessfully changed my Apple ID thru the Apple ID website and iTunes etc. However, my iPhone's iCloud account information still shows the old Apple ID which I tried but unable to edit it although I had successfully changed to the new Apple ID at iCloud's website. Please advise how to change Apple ID in iCloud's settings in iPhone itself.

    It worked for me too!  Thanks!  I was very frustrated!

  • How to change apple id in iCloud on iPhone

    How to change apple id in iCloud

    If the old ID is your ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go 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 iPhone 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.  Then 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.

    You can activate your Apple ID by going to applied.apple.com. Just log in to the ID you have created and send the verification email. You can do this from a computer and your iPod Touch.

    By updating the iOS on the iPOd.  The 1G can go as high as 3.1.3.  That works with a lot of apps.  But some apps require a higher iOS and/or newer iPod.

  • Change Apple ID for iCloud

    Some time ago I Inherited my wife's previous iPad along with her Apple ID for ICloud. I have now purchased a new iPad air 2 and transferred the old iPad info however her iCloud email address (gmail) came along with the transfer. I have my own Apple ID set up for ITunes and would like to change the old ID to match so I'll have the same one for both my iCloud and ITunes accounts. Can I please get some guidance on how to do this? She still uses her Apple ID on her devices so I'd only like to make this change on my iPad (and Iphone). Thanks a lot.

    Hi Friend,
    Delete the account (in Settings>iCloud), then set up a new account using her ID.  If you need to migrate any iCloud data to the new account, be sure to choose "Keep on My iDevice" when prompted about what to do with the iCloud data; then when setting up the new account, to merge the data with the new account be sure to choose Merge.
    Hope it helps

  • Changing Apple ID for iCloud

    I changed my email for my Apple ID but icould will not recognize it so I am constantly getting a pop up to enter my password for my old apple id. How do I change my email for icloud so i stop receiving these pop ups?

    All depends on the form of your iCloud ID...if you used an @me.com or @mac.com email/ID then it cannot be changed...iCloud IDs in that form are unchangable.

  • HT201274 how to change apple id in icloud?

    hello everyone!
                       i have purchased a used iphone 5 which already contains an apple id for icloud. but i want to remove it and enter my apple id so how could i do that?

    Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  Then log in using a different ID.
    If, however, in doing this, you are asked to enter the password of the "other" ID, then you will have no choice but to contact the previous owner and have them enter the password to allow deleting the account.  This is part of the new security features in iOS 7 that prevents thieves from wiping a device and then selling it.
