Will changing iCloud ID automatically change in my phone?

I changed my iTurnes/iCloud ID, but when I look in my settings on my phone, it's still showing my old ID, and it's grayed out and won't allow me to change it there.  Will it change on it's own eventually?  If not, how do I reset this?
Thank you.

It won't automatically changed.  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.

  • Once Icloud has automatically backed up my phone, where do i go to retreive my backup information?

    Once ICloud has automatically backed up my phone, where do i go to retreive my backup information?  Also if the backup is successful, can i delete an item off of my phone and it remain in the photo stream?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    To retrieve the backup information, you have to restore the backup onto the iPhone. To do it, first you have to restore or erase your device (go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings). Then, you will have to set up the device again, and it will ask you to restore a backup, so follow the steps in order to restore the backup.
    If you delete s photo from your device, it will still remain in Photo Stream. However, note that Photo Stream deletes photos 30 days after adding them

  • Will the icloud keep a record that the phone has been tracked or a record of the locations tracked by the app "find my iPhone"

    Will the icloud keep a record that the phone has been tracked or a record of the locations tracked by the app "find my iPhone"

    Not unless you placed a lost device in Lost Mode and it is detected as being online.  If so, it will show its current and previous locations on a map as shown at the bottom of this article: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f0165.

  • Hello, i recently switched from 3gs to 4s. i gave the 3gs to a friend who uses it as primary phone. will my icloud stuff get pushed to his phone? (he uses as just a regular phone, but i signed onto his phone with my apple id once)???

    will my photos, music, etc get pushed to his phone if his photostream, icloud is on etc?
    how can i check which devices have access to my icloud???
    thx

    before i gave the phone, i did 'restore to factory setting' and put his new sim card into the phone.
    but then i logged into the phone with my apple ID (he is simply using the phone as a regular phone without 3g, so he only uses it on wi-fi) to download apps...
    so he is using it as a 'new phone' with all his contacts etc on it, is there any way he could have still accessed my stuff while my icloud was activated?
    i should say that it is not technically a 'friend' but i sold the phone to him, so i'm curious what information he had access to while i had my icloud activated...
    thx all

  • I changed my iCloud account ID but my new phone won't let me change it. It keeps asking me for for my old ID password and won't let me delete the account unless I turn off the find my phone feature. It won't let me do this because it will not accept my ol

    I changed my ICloud account  ID but my new phone won't let me change it unless I put in my old password and turn off the find my phone feature. But the phone will not recognize my old password. Can someone help me?

    New iPhones don't come setup with an Apple ID/Password. What you're experiencing is called Activation Lock, & unless you know the original Apple ID/Password that was originally used to first activate this phone, you won't be able to reactivate it.
    You can login to iCloud.com, from any computer, use Find My Phone to locate & erase the phone. But, you'll still need to know the original Apple ID/Password to reactivate it.

  • If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well?  I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.

    If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well?  I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.

    No, it only mirrors changes to synced data.  This includes mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, safari bookmarks, notes, iWork documents and data, and photo stream photos (assuming you choose to sync all this data).  Changes to iTunes data such as music, apps, podcasts, etc., are not synced using iCloud.  In your example, if you delete an app from one device it will remain on the other until deleted there too.

  • Having problems with email on iPhone, iCloud, and Automatic downloads after changing email.

    I recently changed my email and because of it, I can no longer use iCloud or Automatic Downloads. Automatic Downlloads says "This device is already associated with an Apple ID. Please wait 80 days to associate it with another one." iCoud says "The max amount of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone". Also, when I try to send and email from my iPhone and I type in "M", the first letter of my name, it comes up with my old email address, although it is not part of a contact my the iPhone. Would restoring the iPhone in iTunes help in solving these problems?
    Thanks a lot,
    Michael

    Restoring your phone won't fix these issues.  Once you turn on Automatic Downloads you associate your phone with a specific Apple ID, which can only be changed every 90 days, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627.  However, just because you changed you email address doesn't mean you can't keep using your former Apple ID.  As for you email question, the autocomplete email suggestions you get when addressing email cannot be removed without restoring your phone as new.

  • HT202667 If I change my Apple ID, will my iCloud email also change?

    Today I went to change the email of my apple ID and it caused chaos throughout all of my devices. If I were to change my Apple ID (the email address), will the iCloud email also change?

    That depends
    Is your Apple ID the same as your iCloud account? Not ending in @iCloud.com
    Then Yes
    Does your Apple ID end in @iCloud.com
    No, you can’t change that one.
    Is the iCloud account account linked to your Apple ID not ending in @iCloud.com
    Then yes.

  • I'm trying to change my apple ID and it says it has been verified, but it still will not change on my phone, so I cannot access my iCloud or iMessage, what am I supposed to do to fix this problem?

    I have been trying to change my Apple ID for my iPhone account because the e-mail on there is an old e-mail that I cannot use anymore. I have went on the website and went through all of the steps of changing it, and I've changed everything to my updated e-mail and verified it as well. On my phone, it still has my old e-mail address, and keeps popping up any time I try to access iCloud, iMessage, etc. that my password or e-mail is invalid. I'm not sure why it's not changing on my phone or what other steps I'm supposed to take in changing it.

    If they are no longer in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, the tap Save to Camera Roll).

  • I have taken off/turned off iCloud on my mac mini but when I write an email   and use contacts it will convert a non iCloud email to and iCloud email automatically.  I really don't want this. Any way to stop this automatic conversion?

    I have taken off/turned off iCloud on my mac mini (OS 10.8) but when I send an email and use contacts , it will convert the non - iCloud email to an iCloud email automatically.  Anyway to stop this automatic conversation?    

    Robert...
    the iCloud webserver wont accept my password for a .mac login, nor will it allow me to change it
    See if you can change your password >  Apple - My Apple ID
    If that doesn't help, launch iTunes on your computer.
    From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Click: Reset warnings and Reset cache
    Click OK.
    Restart your computer.
    If that that doesn't help...
    Moreover, when I try to go into my .mac account on the web,
    Delete all apple cookies and empty your browser cache.
    See if  you can access your account at iCloud.com

  • My iPhone 5 will change its time randomly throughout the day. How do I get this to stop and stay on local time?!

    Randomly my iPhone 5 will change the date and time on my phone. A message will then come up saying I need to set my date and time in order to send or receive messages. It's on the automatic setting for date and time but this is happening 3 and 4 times a day now. It's really bad when it changes my date and time in the middle of the night and my alarm goes off at "600 am" but its really 230. Anyone know how to fix this? I haven't had my phone more than 2 weeks but really don't want to have to go back to the apple store to have them look at my phone.

    Are you on Verizon?  Verizon has acknowledged a problem that they say is related to some towers not being compatible with the new OS.  I believe they said it will be resolved in a few weeks.  Meanwhile, the suggestion is to go to Settings/General/Date and Time and change Set Automatically to OFF.

  • Is it possible to make a reflection of an image that will change with the image? [was: Reflection]

    Is it possible to make a reflection of an image that will change with the image?

    I believe that a Smart Object will solve your problem.
    place your original image in a new file as a smart object and do the same for the reflection (made by Transforming, reducing the opacity and introducing a mild horizontal motion blur) on its own layer, then:
    by double clicking on the smart object in the layers panel and returning to the original image, any change you make in the original and save, will automatically update the upright image and its reflection.
    Nice one Norm.  Five Kudos points to you.

  • Synch will change more then 25% of your bookmarks on this computer

    I'm trying to backup my  ipad and when I do I get a message saying synch will change more then 25% of your bookmarks on this computer
    I am trying to keep my bookmarks on icloud so my macbook my iphone and my ipad can all have the same book marks.
    The only thing I've done lately is delete a folder in my bookmarks in safari on my macbook, its saying that 14230 will be deleted and 587 will be added.
    Is this the result from deleteing that folder, i can't see there have been that many book marks in that one folder.
    Also everytime i synch my ipad it seems that it keeps downloading the same apps all over again.
    Whats the deal with this?
    Frustrated  TravelGuy

    The only ways to avoid that issue are either to disable syncing of the iPhone's calendar, or reset the iPhone's sync data by overwriting it with the computer's data. If you do this, any new calendar items added to the iPhone since your last sync will be lost.
    To reset the sync data plug in the iPhone. Open iTunes. Click the Edit menu, then Preferences, then the Devices tab, then click "reset sync history."

  • I changed my User ID it changed on my phone but not on iCloud and it wont let me change my apple ID to my new ID how do I fix this?

    I changed my User ID it changed on my phone but not on iCloud and it wont let me change my apple ID to my new ID how do I fix this?

    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 delete the existing account you will get an option to keep the iCloud data on your device.
    Before deleting the account, save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll.

  • On Maverick my i cloud will not change the verification phone number even though I have change the phone number in apple and on contacts and restarted the computer. Help? I can't get the code necessary to fix the keychain.

    On Maverick my i cloud will not change the verification phone number even though I have change the phone number in apple and on contacts and restarted the computer. Help? I can't get the code necessary to fix the keychain without it.

    You can change the phone number the verification code is sent to from a device or Mac that has your iCloud keychain enabled as follows:
    In iOS 8, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    In OS X Mavericks v10.9, choose Apple () > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    If you don't have access to a device or Mac with your iCloud keychain enabled, you'll have to contact Apple support to verify your identity and get assistance making the change: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.
