Hi trichardson,

Welcome to the Support Communities!

The information below will answer your questions about how to change your iCloud account, which is also your Apple ID.

Using your Apple ID for Apple services

An Apple ID is the email address you use as a login for just about everything you do with Apple, including using iCloud to store your content, buying songs from the iTunes Store, and downloading apps from the App Store.

When you set up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can use the same Apple ID for iCloud services and purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store. You can also use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You will get all the benefits of iCloud whether you use the same Apple ID for iCloud and store purchases, or different IDs for each.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device?

First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:

• Mac: iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers
• PC: iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers

Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID

Before you change your Apple ID:

• Sign out of all Apple features and services that you use with your current Apple ID.
• Make sure that the email address you want to use for your Apple ID meets these conditions:
  • The email address is one that you use regularly, because it will be the primary email address for your Apple ID.
  • The email address is not associated with any other Apple ID.
  • The email address is not an iCloud email address, which is already an Apple ID. iCloud email addresses end with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.

Cheers,
