Change apple id in ios 5

I just updated my Iphone 3GS with IOS 5 and need to change my apple ID from the one I initially loaded. I can not find a setting anywhere to change the apple id on the phone. I was going to restore the phone to original settings but was hoping for an easy fix

Settings>Store...tap the Apple ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use. Do the same for iCloud: Settings>iCloud>Account.

HT1311 Changing Apple ID on IOS Device and Family Sharing

So how does the new Family Sharing feature for IOS 8 fit into changing an associated Apple ID? We set up our daughter's iPod with my Apple ID so that we can share apps and content. If we create her own Apple ID listing it as 'family' and then change the ID on her iPod, what happens to the apps that are already there under the primary ID? Will she lose the status for all of her games?

In short, yes, you can create her own ID, invite that ID to your Family Share, and she will continue to be able to use the apps from your ID without any immediate impacts.
From my experience, logging out of an apple id on a device does not de-authorize or remove apps that are already loaded. In fact, I regularly log out of one ID and in to another in the iTunes and App Stores. The issue you will face in the future with your current approach is your daughter does not own any of the apps you have been giving her via your ID. Way off in the future, when perhaps she is no longer in your Family Share, all the apps she got will stop updating unless she re-purchases them. That may not really be a big risk or concern, but its a reality. The only caveat to keep in mind when logging out and in with different accounts is you want to avoid changing the account used for automatic downloads. Apple (due to licensing restrictions from content owners) does not let you change automatic downloads frequently (you're locked in for 90 days). You can still manually download content from other accounts, just not automatically.
Prior to Family Share I thought of content purchases in 3 buckets: what I want to own with my ID, what they own with their ID, and what we want to share. Therefore, before Apple introduced Family Share I create a "dummy" Apple ID for my family as well as IDs for each of us. I keep the password for this dummy account to myself, and I log all my kids devices in to the App Store using this dummy id (it's got a good name we all recognize that has internal family meaning). We often load up this dummy account with gift cards, and when child wants to buy an app, they ask me to put in the password (so I maintain control of what they buy), and through this ID the app becomes available to all of us. Their own Apple ID is used for all other services and is their main iCloud account logged in on their devices. In time I expect they will start to buy their own content using their own IDs. But they will never lose access to the content on our family dummy account as long as I'm willing to eventually share the password with them.
With the new Family Share we will continue to be able to share their personal content until they grow older and "leave" the Family Share. However, when that eventually happens we will still have the dummy family account and be able to share apps with each other using that if we want. We won't lose the apps we bought on the dummy account we share when we stop using Family Share as long as the password is available to each of us.
There are a few limitations to my approach which the Family Share service improves on so I expect to use Family Share as well (I'm still experimenting with it).
Way more info than you asked for, but hope it's helpful for your planning.

I can't get FaceTime or iMessage to connect, I enter valid password (tested and works for Apple account) and it won't connect. I have checked all settings, upgrades iOS to 8.3 rebooted, changed Apple acount PW still wont connect. My internet connection is fine Safari works and I can access all sites. I have an iPad 2. Any help on this will be greatly appreciate. iPad 2, iOS 8.3

This is an ongoing problem as you will see by searching the forum.
Out of curiosity, do you have 2 step verification enabled? It was recently extended to include iMessage & FaceTime & I'm wondering if it might be causing some of the issues that some users are experiencing.

Hello, kitkatshaw.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like you are attempting to create an iCloud account with your Apple ID through iCloud.com. In order to create an iCloud account, you must sign up via one of the options below.
You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later.

How to connect apple tv with ios 8

i am using iPhone 5S, recently update my IOS 7 to IOS 8. In IOS 7, was AirPlay option which is not visible in IOS 8. Please let me know how i can connect my Iphone 5S with Apple TV using IOS 8.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The following article(s) may help you.
Troubleshooting WiFi Networks
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

TS3988 iCloud will not accept any passwords after upgrading OS. 2 days of trying every password I have ever used, AND changing Apple ID and iTunes ID, still nothing. Can't backup on iCloud anymore.

How can I use iCloud again after upgrading OS to Mountain Lion? 2 days of trying every password I have ever used, AND changing Apple ID and iTunes ID, still nothing. Can't backup on iCloud anymore.

Apple ID's can be used for anything, a single ID can be used for all your accounts (ie iCloud, iTunes, MAS, Apple community etc), ideally this would be the way forward. So far as iTunes goes you need to continue to use the same ID as you have always used or you will lose access to your previous purchases and your iTunes match subscription.
If you are using a second ID for iCloud, you can continue to do so or use the ID you use for iTunes, but if you choose the later you will need to move all your calendar, contact etc data to the account using the ID you use for iTunes.
When (if) you change which account you use you would delete the account on an iOS device and log back in with the correct details, on a mac you would sign out in the iCloud system preference pane.

Is it possible to change IMessage accounts without changing Apple ID accounts?, How do I change IMessage accounts without changing Apple ID accounts?

My family and I have been sharing the same Apple account for awhile now to share apps, contacts Etc. That's great and all, but because we share the same account on multiple devices, whenever we use iMessage, all replies show up on all devices. I wanted to keep the Apple ID, so I changed the iCloud account to mine, but when I messaged a friend, but it still popped up on everyone's device. Is there anyway I can fix this?

Use a free email address (gmail.com?) on each device.

What will it take to get Apple to make iOS 6 available again?

As customers, what can we do to persuade Apple to make iOS 6 available again? I am well aware of the fact that no one put a gun to our head and made us download this new operating system. I even watched the Apple dog and pony show in June, so I should have known better! But as a senior user, I had no idea that the thin line fonts would be so hard to read. The phone keypad is a good example. Is anyone out there having similar problems?
Thanks in advance for answers to my questions.

Sadly, Apple codes the new updates in a way so you can't downgrade to the previous update, such as iOS 6.
But you can change the font! Go to:
SETTINGS>>GENERAL>>ACCESSIBILITY and there is a whole new section to customize the iOS 7 font.
[Source] Includes visual presentation if you need help changing the font.

Please Apple, explain why iOS 8 was born, it caused a lot of issues.

Hi There,
Last Monday i went to the Apple Store, and received a new iPhone 5s, with a swap repair. I was very exited and happy with it, until.... IOS 8.0.2. showed up.
i did an OTA update and everything went fine, until the moment i would like to place a call or do something, that need to make a connection with my mobile provider.
For exemple, browse the internet using 3G, Change settings which have something to do with my provider, like turn on or off caller id, or anything like that. The worst of all is that i can't receive any sms, or incoming call. And when i would like to place a call, I've got the message Call Filed, please try again, and if im lucky it would work after pressing try again for something like 10 times.
So what I've tried to fix this issue is,
Restore all network settings, (it dit work for a few minutes) after those minutes the same issue...
Restore complete back to default fabric settings of iOS 8.0.2. without placing back an backup. (it doesn't work)
And since apple still provides iOS 8.0, I've even tried to restore from 8.0.2 to 8.0 it so technically I've downgraded. (but still no luck)
And even though the device is just a few days old, I've tried to remove, clean and replace the sim card. (but it still doesn't work, again a five minute fix...)
Temporary fixes that worked for max 5 minutes or less.
Turnning on and of airplane mode.
Like i said before, I've tried to remove, clean and replace the sim card.
and last but not least Rebooting the device...
So i've got one question left, please Apple re provide iOS 7.1.2 again, until all of the iOS 8, 8.0.2 bugs are fixed. Cause if the main reason of purchase every iPhone that introduced the world was stability and a overall amazing good quality, but right now im stuck with a to expensive iPod touch in the skin of an iPhone 5s.. and really unstable, it is the exact opposite from what everyone expect from an quality brand like Apple. i hope that there is a way to deal with this issues for good... Thanks a lot!

Apple is not on here, we are all fellow uSers, not Apple employees. Apple merely provides the site for us to discuss and help with technical problems each other is having.
Apple does not support downgrading an iOS, and removes the older version's files from the server when the new version becomes available. There is no legitimate way back.

Can you change Apple ID?

We now have an ipad, iphone and iTouch in our house but are using the same Apple ID. i am tired of getting the kids songs and apps and they are tired of mine! How change Apple IDs on these devices and do taht mean everyone needs their own itunes acct? Does this mean that those who change ID will lose their purchases?
The boys do tend to share some songs and itunes gift cards - I don't know if that is possible?
Thanks
Christine

HT1311 i can't change apple id in app store

I can' change apple id in app store

What exactly are you trying to do, and on what on ?
If an iOS device then you can log out of an account by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store - if that is greyed out then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Accounts is not set to 'Don't Allow Changes
If a computer's iTunes then you can log out of an account via the Store > Sign Out menu option, and that will then change to Store > Sign In
All apps, and any other content that you download from the store, are tied to the account that downloaded it.

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
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 using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
