I have two Apple IDs. When setting up iCloud on myiPad I made the mistake of using a different Apple ID from the one I used on my iPhone, and there doesn't seem to be any way of reversing this so that they both access iCloud with the same Apple ID. Any ideas?
iPad 2, iOS 5
On your iPad go to Settings > iCloud and change your Apple ID.
This has happened to me, as well, and I'm searching for a solution. I have registered iCloud on my MacBook with a mobile me apple ID and used my regular apple id to load iCloud on my iPhone. I'm stuck and would love to find a way to start over with iCloud without losing everything from mobile me. If you figure it out, would you post the solution? Thanks!
Steeleblue,
It is not so simple as going to Settings > iCloud and changing the Apple ID, because that just isn't an option.
You have to delete the account first, using the big red Delete Account button at the bottom of the iCloud settings page. This only "deletes" the account from the device. It does not affect what is stored in iCloud.
Geez...it seems so simple and seems to be working well now. I did this step two times before, and just did not realize that I could change the apple ID as it came up automatically with the one that did not match the macbook. So simple. Thanks so much!
Happy to help. Wish they were all this simple 🙂
Yes!
So by clicking the big red "DELETE ACCOUNT" below, it will only delete the ACCOUNT, and not the apps, contacts, etc. etc?
When I updated my iPhone to iOS 5, I used my aunt's account. Now that she has updated her iPhone to iOS 5, she also uses her account and her photos were also in my photostream. I want to use my own account.
Will my aunt still use her ACCOUNT after I delete it?
Enlighten me, please.
