where do i update my iCloud username on my iPhone settings?

For the email account with the Mail app?
If so, the user name is done automatically after entering the email address and can't be changed with the account settings. You need to delete and recreate the account.

  • Changing my iCloud username on my iPhone

    I have the wrong username set up on my iCloud and want to change it but it won't let me do anything to the username! Please help it makes my IC

    Welcome to the Apple community.

  • HT6413 I have to update my icloud login(email) on iphone but can't. How can this be done?

    Just bought the iphone 6 but when loading and registering icloud, I used wrong email address.  I can't get family sharing going.  I have set up a new Apple ID and primary email but can't seem to logout of the old icloud account and login using the new organizer account.

    If you are using iPad Mail app, in the left hand column tap the arrow in the top left corner until you return to where your main email address appears. This is the main account screen.
    Then tap the email address/account once.
    In the left column in the upper right, tap the Edit button.
    At the bottom of the left column/panel there is a New Mailbox button.
    Tap the button. At the top of the left column, a keyboard entry field appears.
    Thiis is where you tap and enter the name of your new Mailbox folder.
    Once done naming, click the done button at the top right of the left column and you are done.
    This is how you add additonal mailbox folders to your email account.
    Once the mailbox folders you need are created, you can return to any email entry, Tap the Edit button in the upper right of the left column, again. A button appears next to all the emails in the left column.
    Tap the buttons for the ones you wish to move to a particular mailbox folder, at the bottom of the left column, choose the Move button, then pick the mailbox folder to move the emails to and they will automatically move to that mailbox folder.

  • Where can i find my icloud documents on the iphone?

    I have icloud, and have documents that I've drafted on a Mac that I've stored on the cloud. How can I access these documents on my iPhone?

    I did the same thing as you did and mine show up under Audiobooks on my iPhone. I would maybe try doing a search on the iPhone for the audiobook (swipe down on screen) and type in the audiobook to see if you can find the lcoation of the audiobook.

  • Updated Apple ID email, can't switch iCloud username

    I went through the process to change the email address associated with my Apple ID.  Almost everything is working great.  However, I have one problem.  My iPhone keeps screaming at me to type in my iCloud password.  The password doesn't work because my email is changed and the iPhone will not let me change the email address it's using to sign me into iCloud.  The field to change the username is disabled.  What do I do?

    I fixed the problem, and this is how I did it:
    Go to the My Apple ID site.
    Log in with your Apple ID.
    Under the "Name, ID and Email Address" section, there is an area where you can specify an alternate email address.  Add your old Apple ID email address to this list (you will need to verify the email address after submitting).
    Now you can log into iCloud on your iPhone using your old email address.
    If you wish, delete your iCloud account from your iPhone using your old email address and log back in using your new email address.  Now you can remove your old email address from the alternate email addresses list.

  • Mistyped icloud username and activation of "find iPhone" with last IOS update

    I managed to mistype icloud username and activate "find iPhone" with last IOS update.
    This means that:
    I can not verify the iCloud username because it is a non-excisting email with no alternative e-mail adress
    I can not delete the iCloud account because I do not have a password
    I can not use forgot password because the iCloud-ID is a non excisting e-mail adress
    I can not turn off "find iPhone" because the iCloud username is not verified
    My  Appel-ID is different from the icloud-ID with only one letter after the @ prefix, and that is the reason for this whole mess. I was supposed to type my Appel-ID as my iCloud-ID, but mistyped and approved the "new" and wrong iCloud-ID. During the last IOS update I activated the "find iPhone" functionality as a part of the installation procedure. The result is listed in the list above.
    Any suggestions on how to solve this?

  • Since I updated to iCloud, Mail on my MacBookPro 10.6.8 has been unable to connect to MobileMe more than once or twice per day. Mail on my iPhone 4 has no problems. What's wrong?

    Since I updated to iCloud, (which may or may not be related) Mail on my MacBookPro 10.6.8 has been unable to connect to MobileMe more than once or twice per day. Mail on my iPhone 4 and my old iMac has no problems. When there is no service a yellow warning triangle appears adjacent to the Inbox and Connection Doctor reports,"Trying to log into this MobileMe IMAP account failed. Verify that username and password are correct."  Since it does fetch Mail from time to time they cannot be wrong.... can they? Should I update to 10.7 and if so what does that entail?

    You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
    Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

    The situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard is described in detail here:

  • How to know if a file has been updated in iCloud after modification?

    How to know if a file has been updated in iCloud after modification?
    I work on various app including Keynote on my Mac Pro. And after modification, i close file and I wait.
    When I see no more Internet traffic. I assume that keynote has uploaded all the works I have done into iCloud.
    But when I open the same file on my iPad on the way to work. I do not see the file updated.
    I assume that I did not wait long enough.
    I wished I had a way to enforce the updated file to upload and way to get confirmation that it has been completed.
    In windows I simply push the sync button.
    But for iCloud I do not yet see anything like that.
    Please help.

    you would be better served asking this in the iCloud discussion, where users are more knowledgeable about iCloud. Replies on iOS and iCloud issues are usually unanswered here because of our lack of knowledge.

  • My apple ID is the latest ID, but my icloud is still referring to the old account. How do i update the icloud account

  • Change of username and latest iPhone Update

    I recently successfully changed my Apple Username, following my move to a new ISP. However after having successfully downloaded the latest iOS software onto my iPhone, my phone asked me to complete a few more steps to complete the update. One of which was to enter my Password for the displayed Username. The displayed Username (which could not be altered) was my old Username (the password to which I have now forgotten and unable to receive emails at its' address, ie: from Apple with forgotten password hints etc).
    After three failed attempts, I pressed the 'Skip This Step' option and receved the Apple message that my iCloud and Facetime wouldn't be set up correctly as I hadn't entered the required information!
    Can someone please help me with what I've done wrong or how I can change the pre-displayed Username information on my iPhone?
    Thank you

    Sorry, I've just answered my own question (thanks to Winston Churchill!). I deleted my iCloud account on my iPhone, then reinstalled it with my new username and all works well now. So Thanks Sir Winston!
