Change icloud username

I have changed provider and need to update lots of log in info. I have updated my Apple id. but my iCloud log in shows old email address. I started to do the same process as with Aple ID, but when I got to Log Out, it said I would lose all saved data on my phone! Anyone with any help on this? Thanks in advance.

Log into iCloud.com. Click on your name at the top right and select log out. That will bring up the sign in screen. Sign in with your new Apple ID. You will be requested to verify this, so you will need a registered device to receive the verification code. Enter the code and you should be signed in.

You can share Mail, Calendars, and Contacts running Snow Leopard. Based on my experience, I don’t recommend syncing Contacts - created a lot of problems with duplicates. If you have 2 step verification enabled on your Apple ID, you will need to generate an application specific password for Mail, iCal, and Address Book. Apple ID - Manage
Snow Leopard iCloud - Address and iCal
Snow Leopard iCloud – iCal

Changed icloud username and password can't access other devices

I have three devices from which I use the same iTunes and ICloud account. I changed my username and password on the accounts yesterday. Now I am only able to get it to work on my IPhone 5S. My daughter's IPhone 4 and my IPad will not accept the new passwords. I can't access FaceTime or IMessage on those devices as it keeps prompting me that it is incorrect and to reset. If I reset, it won't work on my IPhone 5S. Help!

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
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 and some other circumstances.
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. It may take a short while to remove the account.
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.

Changing Icloud username and password

Find my iPad - will it still work after changing icloud username/pw?

My iPad was stolen last week.
In haste, I quickly changed all my passwords, and even changed my Apple ID. I wasn't thinking about the fact that the iPad won't be able to connect to iCloud if I changed the password. (And of course, I can't change it back.)
If the crooks are dumb enough to turn it on and connect it to the internet, will Find My iPad still work, even if it can't connect to iCloud?
Thanks.

No.

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.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another 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.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Hello there, Confused Apples.
The following Knowledge Base article offers some step-by-step instruction for changing the email for your Apple ID:
Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
Sign out of iCloud, the iTunes Store, App Store, FaceTime, Find My Friends, Find My iPhone, and iMessage on each device that uses your current Apple ID for these services.
Go to My Apple ID.
Select Manage your Apple ID and sign in. Forgot your password?
Select Edit next to Apple ID and Primary Email Address.
Enter the email address that you want to use as your Apple ID, then select Save Changes. Apple will send a verification email to that address.
Open the email from Apple, then click Verify Now. Didn't receive the email?
When the My Apple ID page opens, sign in with your new Apple ID email address and password. When you see a message that verification is complete, you can start using your updated Apple ID.
Remember to update the features and services that you use with Apple ID.
Learn how to use and manage your Apple ID.
Additionally, this article is helpful with what to do, after you've changed your Apple ID:

Username changed - icloud does not recognize it..

I have changed my username and now I cannot synchro my iCloud and I cannot find where to change it, both on my iPad and on my mac, can anybody help me ?

On your Mac you go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you want to use. On your iPad, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password when prompted (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with the new ID. Note: if you have any photo stream photos that you want to save on your iPad, save them to the camera roll before deleting the account.

Change of iCloud username

I changed my iCloud username. However, I now don't seem to be able to update my iCloud details on my devices & therefore can't sync them. Any suggestions?

Have you updated all services that are using your Apple ID after changing the Apple ID?
See: Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID

My iCloud on my iPad is in my ex partners name and I don't no his password . How can I change the username in 2 my name ?

iCloud from an account perspective is associated with the AppleID. Unless you have the password, there's nothing you can do to modify it.
As suggested, you just want to create your own and reassocited the iPad with your new one. You will lose data and purchased apps, however. Basically, you will be starting from scratch.

If you selected open a new Apple ID account, go back a step and enter use existing Apple ID.
You will have to set up a separate iCloud account or your iPads will mirror each other.
