Is it possible to change the name of your Apple ID? I need to change it as it is a previous married name and do not want to see it as you can imagine. Can this be changed easily or do I need to create a new ID? If I create a new one how do I transfer data?
You can change your Apple ID email address on your current Apple ID so you retain access to your data and prior purchases. Note the restrictions in the article.
Make sure you turn off Find My Phone before signing out of the old ID. Once signed out and Find My Phone is off, then sign in with the new ID, then turn Find My Phone back on.
What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support * I suggest doing this before you change your Apple ID or password.
