How do I change my apple id

I have been able to change my primary email address to my new @me account but I can not seem to get rid of my old email address which is the apple id. I do not want the old email address as the apple id. I want the new @ me account to be the apple id but I get an error message saying that you can not use a me account for the apple id. I know this is not true because both my daughter and my sons phone are set up under me accounts. does anyone know how to fix this? I sat on the phone for an hour and a half trying to get help from apple and they just said you can not use a me account which I know to be incorrect.

Settings>Store. Tap on your Apple ID, sign out and then resign in with the correct Apple ID.
FYI, this is covered in the user guide. You should read this. A link can be found in the safari app on your phone.

Hi Marg42,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
First, your husband can create his own Apple ID via the web, computer, or iPad, if he hasn't already:
My Apple ID
https://appleid.apple.com
iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731
Next, he can sign out of the Apple services that are currently using your Apple ID on your old iPad, and sign in with his own.
This article has instructions for doing so for specific Apple services:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
Alternately, he can erase the device and set it up as new using the steps in this article:

How do I change my Apple ID on only one device?

How do I change my Apple ID on only one device? I inherited my husband's iPhone 5. He cleared it but I set it up with same Apple ID so we could share same iTunes account. However, I realised that there are inconveniences such as not being able to Facetime each other. In addition, his iTunes account is UK-based and we'd like to also have a New Zealand iTunes account for various reasons.

Go to settings/icloud and sign out. Then sign in by creating a new Apple ID. Do the same in Settings for Messages, FaceTime and iTunes & App Store. Next, link your Apple IDs using Family Sharing so you can still share music and apps. Family Sharing - Apple Support

HT204053 We have 2 apple ID's (one for each of us). How do I change the apple ID on my ipad?

My wife and I each have an apple ID for our ipad. How do we change the apple ID on our ipad for Iclouds? Can't seem to do it.

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

My iPhone 5S prompts me for my password to an Apple ID email that no longer exists as an account. How do I change my Apple ID address without having to change the primary address to a non-existent email account?

I cannot sign into icloud on my phone because the Apple ID is an email account that has been deactivated and deleted. How can I change my Apple ID without having to change the primary email address to this non-existent account? If I did so, I wouldn't be able to access the account to receive the verification email. Please help!

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should not need to verify the old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

How do I change my apple ID & Icloud ID?

My kids and I have been sharing the same apple ID and icloud ID so updates mess up all our phones cause eveyones info gets put together then downloaded onto each phone. So I want to make a seperate account for each of us so our stuff stays on the right phone. So how do I change my apple ID & Icloud ID and any other ID's without losing anything?

you can make separate ids, however purchases only follow original ids. sounds like you need to turn off auto downloads in settings - itunes and app store. now you can create separate icloud accounts, but in itunes you will have to repurchase the things you want on those devices.
Peace, Clyde

I have some apps on my iPad that were installed using an old apple ID. They can't be updated because the old ID is no longer valid. How can I change the apple ID associated with these apps?

I installed some apps using an apple I'd that is no longer active. I can't update them because it asks for the password of the old I'd instead of the I'd I currently use. How can I change the apple I'd associated with these apps? I still want to use them. One app I paid for using the old I'd. The other app is free. I have already tried deleting them and reinstalling them.

If you simply just changed the email associated with that appleid you can just delete and Re-download the apps.
You can verify the above step by going to the App Store on device > Updates>Purchased - if you see the app there just delete it from the home screen and redownload from the purchased section
Now if you got rid of that account entirely, you will have to delete and re-purchase on your new account

How do you change the apple ID on iCloud?

I recently updated my apple ID and password. However, my iCloud on my MacBook Pro and my iPhone 4S don't recognize that either have changed, so I keep getting locked out of my iCloud. Even when presented with my original apple ID and typing in the password for that ID, I still get locked out. I keep getting suggested to "Manage Account", but it wants me to change my password. So, my question essentially is, how do I change my apple ID in iCloud on my MacBook Pro? I have the OS X 10.9.5 operating system. I've tried searching other troubleshooting methods with no success.

You have to sign out completely and then sign back in on all your devices.
On a Mac, System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign Out'
On an iOS device, Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete Account' (this will not delete the account from the server).

I received what appears to be a reconditioned iPod Touch 4th for Christmas. How do I change the Apple ID on the device to my ID so I can use my iTunes account? Thanks for any help/

It would probably be best to attach the iPod to a computer and restore it. This way you'll know it's wiped clean. Then, when you start up the iPod it will ask you for your Apple ID.
