Changing iCloud account I.D.

I can't seem to change my iCloud account sign-in I.D. name on my iPad. On my iPhone 4, iTunes Store, and my MacBook Air the account sign-in I.D. is one account name, but on the iPad it's another older one that I don't want to use.
I recall changing the account on my iPad not that long ago, but now I can't see anywhere where to change it. The iTunes Store on my iPad reflects the proper account I.D., but iCloud on my iPad, although turned ON, is reflecting the older account name.
How can I change this to match the rest of my devices?
Thanks.

Actually, I just deleted my older account from iCloud on my iPad2 and it went straight to my preferred account.
Solved!

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.

Went to use my contacts and they are all gone! Changed iCloud accounts on Saturday, performed a backup and then synced my music only on iTunes via a PC. How do I find out if my contacts were really stored on iCloud? If so, how do I get them back?

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 account on pc

I installed Icloud on a work PC using my personal icloud apple ID. Now I want to change the account to a new apple ID that I created specifically for my work phone and PC. Having trouble as every time I un-install from the pc and attempt to reinstall it brings up my personal apple ID. Help

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
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 > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

HT204053 I have accidently set up 2 iCloud accounts. I need to delete one so everything is one one. How do I do that? Or at the very least, how do I change ICloud accounts on my iPhone?

Hello,
I just set up my ICloud account and noticed that my iPhone and Mac were not syncing or sharing information. I realized that I have each of them set up under a different AppleID. How do I delete one account so that I can get all my Apple devices on one id?
thank you!

You can't delete accounts, you can only stop using them.

Changing icloud account without losing data, apps etc.

My wife and I currently share an Itunes and I cloud common account on our ipads and iphone 5's. I would like to change my icloud account but continue to share the itunes store account. How can I change the icloud account on my phone and ipad without losing everything that is now stored in our common icloud account?

When you delete the account and choose Keep on My iPhone (iPad), contacts, calendars and other synced data will remain on your device. When you sign in with your new ID to create your new account and choose Merge, these will be uploaded to your new account. Synced notes and photo stream photos are exceptions to this, which is why you have to take steps to save them prior to deleting the account.
If you don't have notes turned on in Settings>iCloud, your notes aren't being synced with iCloud and will not be effected by deleting the account as they are stored locally on your device rather than in iCloud. You can confirm this by going to icloud.com and checking Notes there. If you don't see your notes, they aren't in iCloud so you don't need to email them to yourself prior to deleting the account.
Also, if you have multiple devices, you only need to migrate the data to your new account on the first device. On the second device you can just delete the existing account and choose Delete from My iPhone (iPad) rather than Keep (since your iCloud data is already in the new account). When you sign into the new account on the second device your iCloud data will download to it.

HT4436 Change iCloud account name

I have multiple iCloud devices. I want to change the iCloud account on an iPad so my mother can use it. How do you do this?

Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want. But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, the go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud. Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
To create a new icloud account, go to
