Can't change the Apple ID on my iPad for my iCloud

On my iPad I have under the iCloud one Apple ID and for everything else on the iPad it has a different Apple ID. I can't figure out how to change the Apple ID for my iCloud. Thought?

To change the iCloud ID you have to delete the account, provide your password, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.
If you are changing accounts and need to migrate your data to the new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

How can we change the Apple ID on our iPad to another owner?

How can we change the Apple ID on our iPad to another owner?

Settings->iTunes and App Stores->Apple ID->Sign Out Sign in with another Apple ID.
However all Apps purchased with the previous ID will be forever tied to it and will always require it to update.
So if you plan on changing owners its better to wipe the iPad clean, and let the new owner set it up from scratch.
Settings->General->Reset->Erase All Content and Settings will put the iPad back to the way it was when it was first taken out of the box.

How can I change the Apple ID on a iPad mini running OSX 8

A family member would like to begin to use his Apple ID now on his own iPad WiFi mini running the new OSX 8. Under the Settings, iCloud we cannot find a way to switch from my Apple ID to his Apple ID which was opened with the purchase of his iPhone 5C a few months ago. When we select the "Edit" option only the name of the Apple ID can be changed, not the iCloud email address. Is there a way of signing out of the current ID and signing in with the one we want to replace the old ID with?

To change the iCloud ID, you have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Sign Out (at the bottom). When you do you will get an option to keep a copy of the iCloud data on your device. Choose to do so if you need to migrate the data to the new account. On a Mac, you go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, then sign back in with the new ID.
To change the ID for other services (iMessage, FaceTime, iTunes Store, etc.), you tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

It looks like the article below has the information you are looking for.

http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Turn off iCloud completely
Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
Note: If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help).
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud. For more information, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Calendar & reminder data removed from Calendar and Reminders or iCal when disabling iCloud Calendar.
On your Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then click Sign Out.
Note: If you turned on automatic download of music, app, or book purchases (in iTunes preferences or in Settings on your iOS device), your iTunes purchases are still downloaded to your devices.
Set up iCloud on your devices

Can I change the Apple ID on my iPad without reseting it?

I have a new iPad and would like to give my old one to my wife to use. Could she just take my old one over with her Apple ID without a reset?

She can, you can log out of your account on it by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores if it's on iOS 6) and she can then log in with her account. Any content on the iPad that was bought/downloaded from your account on it will remain tied to your account, so only your account will be able to download updates to those apps, but as long as your account is also authorised on the computer's iTunes that she will by syncing to she should be able to continue using them.
If she will be syncing the iPad to a different computer then this page may be helpful for moving the iPad over to it : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

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")

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.

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 can I change the Apple ID on iMessage?

I bought this iPhone 4 from my aunt, and it is currently sim-locked to Japan. My problem is that I can't change the Apple ID on iMessage, and my aunt's Apple ID keeps asking for the password. There are no other options in the iMessage than iMessage on/off and Character Count on/off. I need help. Thank you.

iOS 5 & iCloud Tips: Sharing an Apple ID With Your Family

My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones. she now has an ipad with a her own apple id. How can we change the apple id on her phoneand not loose any contacts or songs?

My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones (2 phones both are 5s) . She now has an ipad with a her own apple id. How can we change the apple id on her phone so that is the same as the ipad and not loose any contacts or songs?

Did you take a look at the new feature Apple - iOS 8 - Family Sharing ?
Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
Up to now, songs bought from iTunes could only be played by the Apple ID that has been used to buy them.
If you set up Family Sharing, your daughter can also play your songs and use the same contact info as before.
If you don't want to do that, sync the contact info to the address book on your computer, and sync the info back, using iTunes:
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
If the iPad already has her Apple ID and contact info on it, restore the phone from the latest iPad backup.

Hello pscorning1,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you have already changed the information associated with your current Apple ID (*not* created an entirely new Apple ID), you may find the following article about updating the various Apple ID services helpful:
