How do you change the iCloud Apple ID on an iPhone 3GS?

How do you change the iCloud Apple ID on an iPhone 3GS? I changed my Apple ID on iTunes and App Store but can not change the Apple ID in iCloud....How do you do it?

There is a way, but I am not directly familiar with how; see links:
•iCloud - Apple Support:

•iCloud: Account Troubleshooting

But I did find this ASC discussion that may have a suitable path...
•How do I change the iCloud ID to log into a different one?

HT3965 how do i change the iCloud account information on my iPhone?

How do i change the iCloud Account information for an iphone. I set up my wifes iPhone and my phone with the same iCloud Account name name. Later, i added another phone on my ATT account for my mother, but made an Apple iCloud Account in her name. Now, to use the find my iphone feature, i need to change her iCloud account user name to be the same as mine. How do I change that?

You dont need to change the iCloud account to use that feature, when you use find my iPhone all you would need to do is sign into her iCloud account to locate her iPhone.
If you want to change the account used on the iPhone for iCloud then go to settings>icloud and select the option at th bottom that says "delete account" then select "keep on my iphone". After that you then sign in with your iCloud account.

After I've set-up my iOS device with an Apple ID for iCloud, how can I change the iCloud Apple ID?

   After updating my iPad 2 & iPhone 4 to iOS 5, I set-up each one for iCloud, but inadvertently used 2 different Apple ID's (one me.com and one that I typically use for Apple purchases). I realize this will prevent the two devices from syncing. When I try to change the iCloud Apple ID, it is grayed out, and I can't find any way to re-set it on my iPad. Does anyone know how to re-set this ID so both devices are operating on the same ID?
I have a second question (though not as pressing as the first). I'd like to use my me.com ID to sync calendars, contacts, etc., but another ID to sync my Apple purchases (apps, etc.). This way my wife and I could share apps, but each sync our iPhones and iPads to our own content. Does anyone know if this type of dual-ID set-up is possible on one device?
   I know there's a lot of confusion out there, but I'm trying to keep in mind that this is a huge upgrade and transition for Apple, so it will all work out, and should be fantastic when it does. It'll just take a little time to sort out. Thanks for any suggestions! -Bob-

Hi Jeremy,
    That is my understanding. Clicking "Delete Account" is similar to logging out of iCloud with that account.
   But your situation is different from mine, as I had been using my @me.com account for "Find My iPhone" only. I ended up using my @me.com account for iCloud and another account for my Apple iTunes Store purchases.
   That's correct--it will not delete your purchases. You can still back-up to your Mac with iTunes using the same account you used to purchase your Apple stuff. -Bob-

How do I change the icloud email address on my iphone 4s

How can I change the icloud account/ email address on my iphone 4s

Hi shelby,
You need to do the following:
1.     Sign into Manage your Apple ID with your current ID and password, and EDIT the ID back to the old email address. This is temporary. Do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on Delete Account.Type in your current password when asked, then follow the prompts to delete the iCloud account from your device
3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and sign in with the old ID and the current password. EDIT the Apple ID back to the new email address. You may have to verify it again.
4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with the new ID
Cheers,

How can I change the iCloud apple id that is currently in my iPhone?

My sisters and I currently share one iTunes account so that we can share all of the apps and songs that we purchase between our respective ipods/iphones. However, as a result of iCloud, several problems have arisen from this setup: namesly that my younger sister's iPod recieves all of the photos from my photo stream and all of the iMessages from my iPhone. I have been told that it is possible to set up a seperate iTunes account to use only with iCloud, while maintaining another shared iTunes account for the iTunes store. However, when i attempt to change the account currently entered as my iCloud account, my phone will not let me. Does anyone know how I could accomplish that? Or have any other suggestions about how to correct the overall problem? Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple community.
iCloud is a separate account to iTunes, you can change your iCloud account and still keep the iTunes account you are using now. To change your iCloud account, you need to delete it from settings> iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete account button at the bottom.
You can now create a new account in the iCloud settings.

HT204053 How do you change the iCloud email address?

Made a typo when adding to icloud and address is incorrect. How do I change it?
Thanks!

You can't change an iCloud email address. To create a new address you would have to create a new iCloud account.
You can, however, create an email alias to use in your current iCloud account which will receive email in your current iCloud inbox. See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a.

How do i change the icloud account associated with my iphone and ipad when i forgot the password and no longer have access to the email account?

I have an iPhone 5c and an ipad 3. using the latest version of iOS. I can't delete the old iCloud account on the devices without putting in a password but I don't have it, nor a way to change it via email since the email acct is an old one.

If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the 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. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your devices, 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 back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How can I change the iCloud account associated with my iphone

I changed my e-mail address a few months ago including changing my Apple ID to reflect my new e-mail. For some reason, my iphone and my ipad are both stuck with the iCloud username of my old e-mail address. When I try to delete these accounts like other forums have indicated to do, it won't let me because every password possible comes up as invalid and the "forgot password" e-mail never comes. I was wondering if there was a way to delete the icloud account associated with my old e-mail without having a password and replacing it with the updated iCloud information.

if for some reason your old iCloud account does not accpte or you do not remember your password, you can try this:

TS4036 Can you change the iCloud backup date to a previous backup date?

Can you change the iCloud backup date? My iPhones processor went out and erased all of my information and saved that as my last iCloud backup, is there a way to restore my phone for the day before this happened to get all of my information back?

Long story short, I had to make a clean install of OS X (mountain lion) when I was outside my country, and if I can't show the guy at the customs back home that I purchased the macpro before making the trip, I'll have to pay taxes for it.
I could have filled the papers for that but I almost miss the plane and there was a long queue.

How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4?

How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4. I am able to access my iTunes account using my new ID and password on my computer; however, my iphone has a different Apple ID and I do not have cannot access iTunes on this phone.

Also, if you have iCloud, you will probably also want to change the iCloud account on the phone to be yours:
Settings>iCloud - if Account is not yours, go to the bottom and Delete Account. Then sign back on with your iCloud account info.
