Apple ID email

I changed my email and now am struggling to log out of my iCloud to use my new email. Went back into manage my account and changed it back to old addres and tried then to go to delete from my ipad but it won't accept the password and or email. Any help would be really really great as I'm out of date with updates etc

Hello louisefrombognor regis,




You may need to temporarily change your Apple ID back, sign out of iCloud, then change your Apple ID once more before signing back in, as detailed below.

Change your Apple ID temporarily

If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:

  1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
  2. Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    • Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    • Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    • Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
  3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
  4. Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.

iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
