Changing AppleID in iCloud on phone

My AppleID in the settings>iCloud tab of my iphone4 is incorrect. A box pops up to tell me that it is incorrect, and I can either edit or ignore. When I select 'edit' the account information pops up: AppleID, password, and description.
the problem is this: it will allow me to change the password and the description, but the appleID is in grey text and therefore unavailable for editing. UGH.
my appleID in the store is correct. my appleID settings are verified as correct on the myappleid part of the apple site.
What am I missing? Why won't it allow me to change it? I'd really like to get the cloud up & working!
thanks.

Settings>Store>tap on your AppleID. Log out and log in with your new account info

How can i change my AppleID in iCloud to match the one used on iPhone

My iPhone and iCloud are no longer syncing after the IOS 7 update, and I think its because my iCloud AppleID was automatically set up with icloud in the name, different from my previous ID which had mac in the name. But I cannot find a way to quickly change this.

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.
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.

I changed my appleID but iCloud is still using the old one and no place to change it. How do I get iCloud to update to the new ID?

You have to sign out completely and then sign back in.
On a Mac, System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'.
On an iOS device, Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server).
Your synced data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in (give it time).

Changed AppleID p-word and now can't login to icloud on mac mini. I use correct password and I get spinning grey wheel. I know it's the correct password cause any other p-word gets error message. Also, my time capsule is blinking amber.

Hey jamesarm97 & diegofoto,
On August 21st, some users may have been unable to access iCloud services for a short period of time. Apple worked quickly to resolve these issues, however you two may have experienced them. To check the current status of these systems please see:
Apple - Support - System Status
http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
If either of you are still experiencing issues, you may want to troubleshoot with the following articles:

HT204088 Changing primary email (thus AppleID) in Icloud but Itunes Not in Tune :)

I have changed my Appleid primary email as I have recently moved. so now I have a new AppleID but I believe that all of the information on Icloud is still correct as I just changed it. I did not delete it and did not recreated it. Just changed so th einfo should be linked to the new updated AppleID.
The problem is that when I use my iphone (updating apps for example),ITUNES does not recognize the new AppleID and defaults to the old one no longer in existence and as such I cannot login in into ITUNES or update my apps etc...
I believe that I have to delete the old AppleID on the IPHONE and recreate it on the IPHONE with the newly changed AppleID for a correct link. I am concened however that if I do so (the deletion) I will lose all of the apps I have downloaded and other info I have on the phone.
Can anyone confirm either. Thank you.

Thanks for the tip, that sorted for me.
I really wish these web developers would build web apps and websites to proper HTML5 standards and stop building to WebKit. This building for WebKit is the same crap that people used to do in the 90's when buiding for Internet Explorer and that made a huge mess of web standards. Websites should look and work exactly on any web standards compliant browser, WebKit is not the Web.

I changed my email address on my appleID but it won't let me change it in iCloud on my phone.

How in the world do I change the appleID under iCloud settings on my phone? The text field is grey and it will not let me change it at all. I got a new appleID and I want to change the **** thing but it's not letting me. How frustrating. Anyone know?

Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices).
Then enter the new ID and password.

HT5621 I changed my AppleID, but iCloud still has the old email address on my phone. How do I change that?

I changed my AppleID, but iCloud still has the old email address on my phone. How do I change that? It keeps asking me to input my password, but obviously that won't work because the ID is wrong not the password.

Then change your Apple ID back to the old ID, then delete the account. Once done, change your ID to your new one.

HT204053 How do change the AppleID on ICloud on an Imac?

How do I change the AppleID on ICloud on an Imac? If I choose System Preferences > ICloud > Account details I can only digit the Name and Descriuption but I do not know how to change the ID....

You mean you've changed the (non-Apple) email address which forms your ID and hence your login? You will need to sign out in System Preferences>iCloud and sign back in again, re-enabling the various data types you want to sync in the checklist there.

HT204053 I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized. Any suggestions?

I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized on the appleid website, so my password for my old apple id won't work.
Any suggestions?

If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name. (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library. If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account. To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

I changed my iTunes password on my device, but now I can't change it on iCloud

I had to change my apple id login and password on iTunes. I was able to change it on iCloud on my iPhone 4S, but can not change it on my iPad. My old login is on my iCloud on the iPad, but as I no longer remember my old password, the iPad won't even let me reset to factory setting. Any idea what I can do? It's frustrating have two devices that should work in together, not being able to communicate.

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go 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. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPad on your iPad, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPad 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.

Change apple id iCloud iPhone 4s

changed my apple ID using my iMac
can't change it for iCloud etc

To change the iCloud ID on your iPhone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your 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. Next, use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account 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 in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Changing AppleID across multiple devices

I currently have an email address associated with iTunes, iCloud & my iPhone that I no longer use anymore. I would like to change them all over to a new email address but don't want to lose purchases. How do i do it?
I thought I had done it but I kept getting prompted for my password related to my old email address.
Also....the one place I couldn't seem to change it was on my iphone when I went to Settings>ICloud>Account. there isn't an option to change AppleID. it appears to be locked.....

Did you create a new Apple ID or change the primary email for your Apple ID? Two different things and the latter is the correct way of going about the process
Go here > Apple - My Apple ID
Manage your Apple ID and change your email address. After you do that change the Apple ID used on your device(s) for all of Apple's sevices (iTunes, iCloud, Messages, FaceTime, etc.)

Apps are permanatly assigned to the Apple ID used to download them. You cannot change this and apps are not transferable.

Scroll down... Delete Account (big red button). Note: This only affects the device
