Changed apple id to iphone. How to change or reset your Apple ID (iCloud) password

Many iPhone users very often wonder how to change their apple id.

To begin with, you should be aware of exactly what id is. This is the iTunes Store or App Store email address required to sign up. At any time, some problems may arise in which you will have to create a new account. There are times when a user has forgotten the old address or it did not belong to you, but to the person who registered you, and you no longer communicate and there is no way to find out. It is for such purposes that the id change service exists.

This procedure is not as complicated as it seems at first glance, but there are some nuances that you should think about well. In order to avoid problems, the steps for changing the id will be listed below.

And so, for starters, let's figure out which id can be changed and which cannot. It should be remembered that if you registered an Apple id using an email address that ends in @mac.com, @me.com, @iCloud.com, then such identifiers cannot be changed to an address belonging to another email address. Currently, for iPhone, you can only sign up through @icloud.com.

The fact that you can’t change your account is good on the one hand, and bad on the other. The downside is that you have to remember another email address, and sometimes logging out of the system will be fraught with the fact that the entrance will no longer be possible. And besides, now there is no way to register under a beautiful name, since they are all busy.
It will definitely be a plus that if suddenly someone somehow becomes aware of the ID and password, then he will not be able to take his account, since there is no way to replace the email. Thus, the cracker will have to register himself and create his own account.

If the id of your iPhone has a different ending, then you can change it to any other without any problems. So, in order to change the address in your Apple ID, you should open the My Apple ID website. Next, go to the Apple id management section in order to log in. When you select the field - name, id and email address, you should click the "Change" button, which is located next to the Apple id and main mail address section. Only it is best to enter the address that is regularly used. You should not choose an email address after which it will be impossible to change the account.

Next, a standard registration confirmation will occur in order to make sure that the address belongs to you personally. This security measure is very secure and a confirmation link will be sent to your address. For a complete check, you must log in and log out and write down the activation data.

What to do if an invalid email is entered? Do not forget that it is not possible to log in through the old id, so you can enter a new email to enter your account. At the entrance, a window will pop up that the address is not confirmed, and you just need to click on the "change" button and enter the correct data.

What to do if the user has forgotten the Apple ID of their iPhone?

Sometimes it happens that a letter is accidentally pressed and you will not be able to log into your account. In this case, the only way out is to contact the support service.
But using the old ID, it will be impossible to log in, because when you change it, it disappears from the database. It can be found out only by contacting the central service, with which a Russian specialist will keep in touch. The whole procedure will take about 20 minutes. You will have to answer the security questions asked, the answer to which you should know, as they were indicated by you when registering a new account. After answering all the security questions, you will be told a new ID, and you can recover your account on your iPhone. If you have it, you can change and find out the email address, create other security questions and much more.

In order for only you to have access to your account, you should use only those security questions that are known only to you, because this is an important point that will allow you to find out the ID in the support service and enter the system.

How to remove apple id?

It will not be possible to completely remove the ID on your own. You can simply change all the information stored on your account, change the control questions and just log out. But if the user has forgotten the questions, then later, if desired, it will not be possible to restore and it will only be possible to register again and create a new account.
Or is there another way, but the final one. When contacting the support service, you should create a ticket and indicate in the subject line that you want to exit and delete the ID.

Apple ID or personal user account is a very useful thing. This identifier allows the iOS user to access all branded services - iCloud, App and iTunes Store, iMessage, etc. In other words, the absence of an Apple ID account significantly limits the capabilities of an “apple” device, and most i-device owners, of course, understand this, and therefore create and use an Apple ID with pleasure.

However, if the user is going to sell his gadget, he must unbind the iOS device from the account without fail, otherwise the new owner will face a lot of problems.

In this article, using the iPad as an example, we will tell you how to delete your account for the old owner and enter your Apple ID details for the new owner.

Apple ID registers on the iPad in two places - the "iCloud" section and "iTunes Store, App Store". Both sections are located in the "Settings" menu of the device. In general, by and large, you can untie your Apple ID only in the "iCloud" section, because as soon as in this situation you will need to specify the account password. That is, delete the old user account from the "iTunes Store, App Store" section. and change it to his own, the new owner will be able to without knowing the password of the identifier.

However, we still recommend that you reset your account in both sections, because if you leave it in the “iTunes Store, App Store” section, a new user will be able to find out your Apple ID, and even without a password, he can do little with it, there is absolutely no need provide unfamiliar people with extra information about yourself.

How do I remove an account from iCloud?

But still, first of all, you need to reset your iCloud account. How to do it? We follow this simple instruction:

That's all! If the password is correct, deleting the old account will be successful and in the fields where your Apple ID details were previously indicated, the new owner will be able to add his account settings.

How do I change my account in the "iTunes Store, App Store" section?

In this situation, it's even easier. What are we doing:

That's all, now here the new owner will be able to provide their Apple ID details.

What happens if you don't unlink iPad from Apple ID?

As you can see, changing and deleting an account on an iPad is very easy, and we strongly recommend that you remember to follow these simple steps before selling, because if you do not delete your account, things can get very sad.

We repeat, you have every right not to be deleted from the “iTunes Store, App Store” section. A new user with the same success as the previous one can log out of the old account and enter their data (a password is not required). But! When trying to update applications that were downloaded to the old account, the stores will request the data of the FORMER account. However, this is not such a problem, you can delete all applications downloaded using the old ID and download again using the new Apple ID.

Much more sad consequences threaten if the previous owner has not left the "iCloud" section. Even worse, if the new user did not immediately pay attention to this fact. It just left the "iTunes Store, App Store" section and decided that he would not use iCloud - just think, because backups can be created via a PC using iTunes.

But this very user needs to update iOS, or he wants to restore the device through iTunes, because the tablet, for example, began to fail. Each user of the "apple" knows how the update / restore procedures of the device end - the device boots in the initial setup mode and requires its activation. At the same time, if the “Find iPad” option is enabled on the device, and it is turned on automatically when you specify an Apple ID in the “iCloud” section, the user needs the login and password of the account, and the one specified in the cloud storage settings. In the situation we are considering, this section will contain the data of the previous owner, which the new user, of course, does not know.

There are three ways to bypass this screen - firstly, contact the previous owner and ask him to provide data and / or ask for a personal meeting at which he will unlink his Apple ID. If the person is honest, and a little time has passed after the purchase and the seller has not yet forgotten his data, he will help you.

If it is not possible to reach the previous owner, we offer you the second way - contacting Apple support. They will definitely help you if you can prove that the device belongs to you - a receipt and a box from the tablet will come in handy here.

And finally, the third way. You did not find the previous owner and the support service failed to prove anything. In this situation, you just have to contact all sorts of unofficial organizations that offer services to remove the activation lock. In this case, success is not guaranteed, but there is still no other way out.

Let's summarize

So, now you know how to delete an account on the iPad (however, the instructions are universal and suitable for other Apple technology too), and most importantly, you understand the sad consequences that threaten a new user if the old one does not untie his Apple ID. So we strongly recommend that sellers do not forget about this procedure, and buyers should always check whether the old account is logged out, or even better, ask the seller for a receipt from the purchase of the iPad and the box from under it.

Let's start with the fact that Apple ID is the email address specified when registering in the App Store or iTunes Store. How to create it can be found in the article. And you, for various reasons, may need to change it.

For example. A friend registered your Apple ID to your email, and you quarreled with him. Or the mail service that had the Apple ID mail no longer works. For such cases, there is a procedure for changing the Apple ID. Pretty simple at first glance. But in the process of writing an article and testing all the possible options for myself, I ran into a number of problems. And they decided only after an hour of communication with specialists from Apple support. So, let's try to put everything on the shelves.

Which ID can be changed and which cannot?

One thing I want to say right off the bat is that if your primary Apple ID email address ends in @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com, then those IDs cannot be changed to another email address.

These IDs are created when you sign up for iCloud. More details about. Currently, you can only register in the @icloud.com domain. The me.com and mac.com addresses are left over from the previous services and are no longer issued.

An account that cannot be changed is both good and bad:

• The bad thing is that this is another mailbox and you need to remember it. And beautiful names in iCloud.com domains are long gone.
• The good thing is that even if someone finds out your ID and password from it, he will not be able to steal your account by replacing the e-mail with his own. Any one works on this. We'll talk about security settings later.

Well, if your ID does not end with @icloud.com, @me.com, @mac.com, then you have the right to change it.

Change Apple ID via the Apple website

3. Selecting the "Name, ID and email addresses" field. mail", click the "Edit" button next to the "Apple ID and primary email" section.

4. Enter a new email address.

5. Make sure the email address you entered is:

• used by you regularly, since this address will be the main address for your account;
• is a valid email address;
• not yet associated with your other Apple ID;
• does not end with @mac.com, @me.com, or @icloud.com.

You will be asked to verify the email address to verify that you have access to it and that it belongs to you.

A confirmation email will be sent to the new address. After receiving the message, click the "Check Now" link and sign in to appleid.apple.com with your new Apple ID and password to complete the verification.

Immediately after changing your Apple ID, signing in with the old ID is not possible.

If you incorrectly entered a new e-mail for Apple ID

And what will happen if you incorrectly entered the e-mail address of the new ID. That email confirmation will come to a non-existent address and you will not be able to confirm it.
At the same time, you will no longer be able to log in using the old ID.

If you know a new, unverified Apple ID, sign in by entering it at appleid.apple.com.

You will see such a window. Your mailing address has not been verified. Click on "Edit" and enter the correct e-mail details.

After that, the procedure will be repeated with sending a confirmation letter to the specified postal address.

If you forgot your Apple ID

And what will happen if you did not correctly specify the e-mail address of the new ID, and did not remember it. Well, just somewhere they made a mistake with a letter, but you don’t know where. This is exactly what happened to me when I wrote this article. Here lies the ambush. Because the confirmation mail will be sent to a non-existent address and you will not be able to receive it.

You will no longer be able to log in with your old ID. And you don't know the new one.

There is only one way to solve this problem:

Call Apple Support +7 495 5809557 extension 4. From Monday to Friday from 9 to 19:45.

I'll warn you right away.

They no longer have your old Apple ID in their database.

It disappears at the moment of change. But it can be found through the central support service, which a specialist from Russia should contact. It takes about 20 minutes, so use a landline phone or Skype. You will then be asked to answer security questions that are listed in your account. And if everything went well, they will say your new Apple ID. Knowing it, you can make a replacement of the postal address, as described in the paragraph above.

Therefore, I recommend using secret questions in your account that do not cause you any doubts. Also, link your device to your Apple ID by turning on Find My iPhone in iCloud. In this case, technical support specialists will be able to determine the ownership of the account by the number of your iPhone.

And further. Some issues are resolved only by calling the Call Center. With personal communication with the support service, you can even if you know what to say to the operator :)

Through the App Store app

You can change your Apple ID through the App Store. For this:

Through the Settings app

There are actually plenty of users who have been using an iPad 2 or other tablet for months, but do not know what an ID is. They are unaware that they deprive themselves of many functions. And for this they paid a lot of money by buying a tablet. If you are one of these users, be sure to study this material to the end. Today we’ll talk about how to replace the ID on the iPad and reveal many of the secrets of this process.

Let's try to understand the reason for this misunderstanding. In fact, in most cases, banal laziness is to blame. The user simply does not want to understand how it is done. So it turns out that when buying a device, the user grants the right to some person from the store to drive in their characters when registering an account. This information is usually not reported to the rightful owner of the gadget. The result is the presence of a device on which it is impossible to install new software or erase the old one.

How to fix the situation and create an account? Read the detailed instructions below.

Register ID - number

To customize the tablet to your needs, you will have to register. To do this, follow 3 simple steps:

1 Register an ID number (new). Once again, this step is of strategic importance for the settings of the new iPad. This is done easily. It is enough to go to the resource of the "apple" company on the network and fill out the required form. If you already have an account, proceed immediately to the second step. 2 Type in the characters of the ID-number for "cloud" services. There are at least 2 fields in the tablet settings where you need to enter this data. The first is the "clouds" section. If you went there, but did not see your account, then it's time to make a call to the former owner of your device. That's the only way you'll find out the password. Without these characters, you will not be able to log out of the account. Once you know the password - scroll the display to the very bottom and click on the exit item. After that, follow the steps to enter the "cloud". 3 Enter ID characters - numbers for stores from Apple and iTunes. This is also done through the settings. The whole procedure is identical to the first step - no passwords are required. Click on the account and select the exit from the pop-up window. After you drive in the data on your account in the appropriate sections and confirm the entry.

What will you get as a result? Full access to the "cloud", where you can store files up to 5 GB in total, and other services. iCloud provides the ability to create a backup on Apple servers and exchange contacts, notes and other types of information with all your "apple" gadgets. Agree, it is very convenient.

In addition, the option to search for a tablet will also become available. Be sure to activate it. If suddenly you lose the device or it is stolen from you, you can put the block on the gadget remotely. It will also be possible to erase all data from the device’s memory or find out where it is now.

What did you get as a result? In the settings of the tablet, account data and ID numbers were specified, which must be used when purchasing software. Now all purchased programs will be tied to this number. And this applies to both free and paid software.

Let's say you bought a paid program, then deleted it, and now you want to re-download it. You can do this in no time, and you do not need to pay anything again.

Delete work ID - number

Very rarely users resort to such a step. Nevertheless, sometimes such a measure is necessary. For example, when selling your device. Therefore, we will analyze step by step how to perform this procedure. And it is done in four different ways.

Removal via support

This method is the only one that allows you to delete an element permanently, with no hope of recovery. Other methods only slow down the action, but do not delete the account. Although the result for the user is almost the same in all cases. So it's up to you to decide.

So, for the final removal, follow this algorithm:

• Go to Apple's online resource, support.
• Enter the required information into the form that pops up. Write a request in English. If you don't know it, use an automatic translator. Usually this passes, the main thing is that the meaning is clear.
• Send a message by clicking on the appropriate button.

After some time (up to a month), a message from the technical support service will be sent to your e-mail. It will contain a link to delete the account. You need to go through it and delete your account. It will no longer be possible to create a new account using this e-mail in the future.

Change e-mail on the ID management page - number

To get almost the same result as with the previous method, try to "freeze" the ID - number by changing the e-mail. This is done through sequential execution of the following steps:

• Go to an Apple resource online.
• Driving in the Apple ID in the search line.
• Clicking on the control point.
• Opening an account (here you will find all the information about the name, main and alternative addresses in case of losing an account).
• Change of current e-mail. For example, you can add multiple numbers between letters. The three circles that pop up during the changes should be green.
• Saving changes.

From this moment on, the ID - number becomes tied to a new address, which, in principle, does not exist. The old e-mail can be successfully used to create a new account. As you can see. Everything is simple and fits in 5 minutes - no more.

How to remove an ID using iTunes

This method is also similar to the previous one, but there are still some differences. The steps this time will be:

• Opening the iTunes Store program and going to your account.
• Select information about her. All the necessary information will pop up. In accordance with the goals, various changes can be made.
• If the user plans to use the current e-mail without deleting the account or creating a new one, but with the same data, you should simply change the current address to another one. But it must exist in reality, otherwise nothing will come of it.

In addition, in the settings you can delete devices linked to the account. Either all at the same time, or each separately. To do this, in the details section, you need to click on the deauthorization element of all content. Or click on the delete item next to the name of the gadget for which we want to unlink.

How to remove ID - number directly from the gadget

The method allows you to quickly erase the ID - number from any tablet and not only. You can safely use it for iPhones and other "apple" products. After completing all the steps, the device will be in a new state.

So, follow these steps:

• Go to settings on the home screen.
• Select "iTunes Store, App Store".
• Click on the button with the ID number.
• Among other inscriptions, select the exit.

Now you know how to change Apple ID on the iPad, and in more than one way. On any iPad model, you can change these characters or remove them if needed. Moreover, removing an ID, as you can see, is even easier than changing it. Deletion is required when the tablet actually has two users. That is, when the user purchased a new device, on which the previous owner did not erase the ID. Then you need to delete the characters and create your account. The simultaneous existence of two accounts on one "apple" device is impossible.

I greet every regular user and just a passing guest! I did not think long about the topic of my article, as I heard it from a good friend. Or rather, he helped him solve the problem of how to change iCloud on iPhone. And now I invite everyone who is interested in this problem to discuss.

iCloud has become a frequent guest on the devices of our citizens, only a few have managed to study it well (read about using the service). How to change an account in iCloud the first time, only a few will be able to figure it out. But there are many more questions like this:

• "How to change iCloud on iPhone 5?";
• "How to change iCloud on iPhone 4?";
• "How to change iclCud on iPad?".

Key features of iCloud

Since the conversation is about iCloud users who have not yet taken place, I want to deviate a little from the topic and remember what this storage is for.

The creators tried to create a place where each of the users can put all the data from different devices with a single access. Let me give you an example: a photo taken on the iPhone will immediately appear on both the iPad and Mac (if you have them). Just connect to the network and it's done.

Apple iCloud is able to sync the following information:

• music;
• all applications;
• books and TV shows;
• all photos and videos from the iPhone or iPad camera;
• settings available on iPad or iPhone;
• contacts (you can read about restoring contacts);
• documentation;
• iOS desktop settings;
• all kinds of messages;
• games.

This storage is very valuable for those who like to play games. Imagine: you just played on the iPhone, paused, moved to another room, remembered and continued your game already on the iPad.

Important point

There are times when you really need to change the data about yourself (that is, about the user) that is hidden in the operating system. In such a situation, you should first know how to change iCloud.

Is it possible to change iCloud? Of course yes, just note that it is not possible to make adjustments to the account name with the following ending:

• @icloud.com;
• @me.com;
• @mac.com.

Important! If you decide that you will delete your account from your phone, create a new one and the issue is resolved, you are mistaken. All your data will simply disappear from the phone, but will still remain in the iCloud system (on the cloud storage server).

What can be changed in Apple ID?

An account is an ID. In addition to the identifier itself, by going to the Apple ID management page, you can change the following data:

• password (read about password recovery);
• e-mail addresses (optional);
• Security Question;
• date of birth;
• e-mail (backup).

Let's start solving the problem "How do I change my iCloud account?". Let's get started:

The iCloud account change was successful. Use on health.
