Can't change iCloud to a different Apple ID on iphone

My daughter's iPhone 4 have my Apple ID entered as the Apple ID for her iCloud account information.  We want to change this to her own Apple ID, but the ID is "grayed out" and cannot be changed.  I have turned off all iCloud services, rebooted the phone, and still can't change this.
As to how it got this way...  my daughter tried to enter her own Apple ID after installing iOS 5, but the phone then stated that iCloud set-up failed; try again later.  She then found that my ID had been entered for her.  I am assuming it picked up my ID from the "Find my iphone" app - the entire family used my ID for find my iphone, so we could see each other. We turned off Find my iPhone on her phone, and still can't change the ID.  She succesfully entered her own ID in the Store settings on her phone, and later upgraded to 10.7.2 and set up iCloud with her Apple ID on her computer.
I'm thinking we should do a backup and restore of her phone to see if that resets the iCloud Apple ID setting, but don't want to go through that unless someone knows it works.
Suggested new feature: the iCloud web site should have a way to monitor which devices are using an account, and provide a way to kick a device off an account.
Thanks
(apologies - I just found another thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/16365618 with very similar question but not sure how to delete this post entirely)

Duh-o, found the answer to my own question.  Just scroll to the bottom of the prefs pane for iCloud (Settings-iCloud) and select "Delete Account". You can then enter the correct information.
What can't be answered is why entering the correct account info at set-up failed on 3 phones so far in our family.  For all 3 of these I'm having to take the "delete account" route.

  • Can i use icloud drive across different apple id's?

    My wife and I have different Apple id's and we want to work on the same documents. If I save them to my iCloud she can't see them. How do I share the documents between us both? Thanks

    No, you will have to share those documents using other means, Dropbox, etc.

  • How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? Because of the update on apple ID, when I try to delete icloud account I have to put in the password, and it says username or password is invalid (because no longer apple ID).

    How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? When I try to delete icloud account (in settings-icloud-delete account) I have to put in the password for the apple ID of my old email address, which is no longer my apple ID, and it says username or password is invalid (I'm guessing because that is no longer my apple ID).

    You will wait for the rest of your life. You need to fix it; no one else will. To turn off "Find my iPhone" and its associated Activation Lock you need the Apple ID and password that were used to turn it on. If you know the Apple ID you can contact Apple Account Security and have them reset the password (after you prove you are the rightful owner of that Apple ID). see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
    If you don't know the Apple ID the phone is permanently unusable.

  • Can you change the email/username for Apple ID?

    Can you change the email/username for Apple ID? I got my apple ID when i was younger and now have a different email address and dont ever go on my old email. I do not like that everything is linked to that email or that my computer now sendds people emails from my previous email instead of my current email. I want all things to be linked to my new email and my older email to be out of the picture! please help!!

    Yes, you can update the primary email address on an account (as long as the address that you want to change to isn't currently a primary email address on another account) by logging into the account via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes, by logging into it via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, or by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Stores on an iOS device and logging into it

  • How often can i change icloud account association/other ?s

    How often can i change icloud account association on a ios device.  If the ios device has a shared photo folder photo on it, will that setting still apply to the updated icloud account.by default.  How long will the shared photos from the original icloud account stay available to the other devices?  When a shared photo folder is disabled from the ios device, does it immediately remove acces via icloud?  if photo stream is activated on one ios device, does it activate on the other devices using that icoud account.  Thanks for your help

    You change it the same way you change the information for any Apple ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5621.  (An iCloud ID is also an Apple ID.)
    After changing the ID, read this to know what to do next: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796.

    You'll need to save the documents first from the incorrect iCloud account, sign out then sign in to the correct iCloud account and upload the documents to that account.

    Hi nprguy,
    It sounds like an earlier version of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software installed on your PC may be conflicting with this installation. 
    I would advise uninstalling both versions of the BlackBerry Desktop Software then reinstalling the latest version.
    The following KB articles should provide more information on the issue.
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" when uninstalling BlackBerry Desktop Manager www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10220
    "Error 1316" InstallShield error is encountered when uninstalling or upgrading the BlackBerry Desktop Software

    Thanks.
