Can't change the iCloud id on my iphone

I recently changed my Apple ID because the old email is going away. So everything went fine except the iCloud login on the iphone. it still has the old id in it and when I try to delete it, it says I have to run off Find My iPhone and asks for the password and it comes up with the id already populated and wants the password then tells me that the password is incorrect even when I put in the right one for that id. Anyone got a suggestion on a solution?

Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID and tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.
You can now use your current password to turn OFF Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID.
Then 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.

How can I change the iCloud ID on my iphone to the one I'm using on my ipad?

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")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

How can I change the iCloud associated with my iPhone when the email account no longer exists?

My mum had the iPhone that I'm now using for a couple of years, and the iCloud account attached to it uses an email address that was shut down by Virgin, so we can't access it any more to verify emails, etc.
Now that I'm using it, I want to assign it to my ID or even reset it, but the password my mum is certain she used won't be accepted. I looked around the community and tried to change her iCloud settings online to the old email address and then delete the iCloud on my iPhone using the new password for the new ID she now has, but it won't seem to accept any password.
Is there any way at all I can do this, or will I have to get a Genius appointment or something?
Thank you for any help you can give me!

Hi:
Log in and click on your user name, then look at the upper the right side of the page.
Click on the triangle to the left of the "More Resources" section.
This will drop down, and give you options.
Select User Settings.
This will now open a page, and in the light blue type on top, follow it along to Contact Information, click on that, and change your e-mail address to what you want, and hit the blue submit button on the bottom right side of the page.

How can i change the iCloud account on my iPhone 5s that i have ...but i have forgotten the answer to the security questions as well as the password to the old iCloud account

pls help me out as i have all my contacts and important info on my iPhone

-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.
-If you are not in the US, click http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 - Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
please help :-(

That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

How can I change the ICloud/ID Apple on my Ipad/IPhone?

I've changed my Apple ID and I've changed the ID of Itunes on my IPad/IPhone.
Now I want to change the IPad/IPhone ID on ICloud, but my IPad keep and store on my previous ID. How can I change the ICloud ID Apple on my Ipad/IPhone?

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
This article provides more information about Activation Lock.

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 can I change the iCloud ID associated with my iPad?

To change the ID for:
iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
iTunes, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Store.
iCloud, start by saving your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your My Photo Stream album, tap Select, tap all the photos you want to save, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you want to use. This will delete the account and iCloud data from your phone but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a new account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in. However, if you are setting up a new account with a new ID, when you delete the account be sure to choose Keep on My iPad, then choose Merge when you sign into the new account to upload your data.

How do I change the iCloud ID on my iPhone

Hi everyone,
Please let me explain my situation first.
I was using email1 for my iCloud backup on my iPhone4. Then I had a problem with that email and had to change that email to email2 via the web browser.
I then changed my iCloud ID on my iPhone to reflect that change. Then I had a problem with the iPhone so had to restore via iCloud. Upon restoring, my iPhone keeps asking to connect to iCloud but the ID it use is the email1 not the new email2 I am currently using. I try changing the iCloud email on iPhone but it would simply not let me. Can anyone help me change the iCloud ID on my iPhone?
Thank you very much in advance.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Shirley

I did but that caused my ID to reflect the change and caused the problem in the first place. Thank you but I just found a solution here https://discussions.apple.com/message/22605888#22605888.

CANT CHANGE THE ICLOUD NAME ON MY IPHONE

HOW DO I CHANGE THE ICLOUD NAME ON MY IPHONE 5C IF I DONT HAVE THE PASSWORD FOR THE OLD ONE

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 iPhone, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPhone 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 back in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Hi Apple Team, I would like to change the iCloud account on my iPhone, however it says I must 'delete the account' before doing so? Does this mean that I delete the entire existing account, or just delete it from my phone specifically?
