Change iCloud account on device

I have changed my Apple ID and password some time ago.
On my iPhone and iPad the old Aplle ID is still showing in the settings for iCloud, but I cannot change or delete it, since the old ID is not working anymore.
How do I get this old ID removed or changed to my new Apple ID.

Hi TallDutch,
You need to follow the instructions below to get your iCloud account updated on your devices:
1.     Go into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the old ID that is showing on your iCloud accounts (this is temporary):
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
2.     Do not verify this ID, just press Done when you have changed it
3.     Go into Settings>iCloud on each of your devices and delete the iCloud account by scrolling to the bottom and clicking on Delete. Put in your current Apple ID password when asked. Answer the prompts as you wish, and delete the iCloud account
4.     Go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the new ID
5.     Go back into Settings>iCloud on your devices and sign iCloud back on using your new ID and password
You should be all set!
Cheers,
GB

    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")
    Yes you can continue to use the former ID for the iTunes Store.
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need to delete the account and add it back using the other account info. If you delete the account, the information in iCloud will be removed from your device but not from iCloud.

  • 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.

    Log into icloud.com and then click on the Contacts icon.  If the list is empty, then it's gone.

  • How do I change Icloud accounts on a device that is used?

    So my wife has a used iphone that was given to her by her sister. I can't figure out how to change her icloud account from her sister's to mine. The username is locked in and we don't have access to the current account that is on there. How do I switch the 2?

    You will need her password to delete her account, so that you can add yours. Please see also "Removing a device from a previous owner’s account": http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • Unable to delete icloud account from device after Apple ID change

    I recently changed my apple ID from my corporate account to a personal address but forgot to log out of icloud on my ipad.  The icloud account on the device is still linked to the old apple id and so cannot delete it as unable to authenticate.
    I am unable to use the work around of changing my apple id back to the original address as it not longer exists (left the company)
    I am also unable to reset my ipad entirely (as I did to resolve the issue on one of my iphones) as it also still tries to authenticate against the original Apple ID.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I know to Id.  To clarify
    My old Apple ID was myname@workemail
    I changed the account to have the Apple ID myname@personal email.
    To change the Apple ID back to myname@workemail the email address needs to be valid?
    The email account address myname@workemail is no longer valid so if I need to verify it I can't.  If I don't need to use a valid email address as my Apple ID it resolves the problem. (On iOS 7.0.4)
    Thanks!
