Correcting Apple ID in ICloud follwing change of ID

I recently changed my Apple ID and everything is correct except one. When I open ICloud it still shows the old Apple ID. How do I change that?

Thank you for your interest. The screen shows under the ICloud symbol my first and last name. Below that it shows my old apple ID which is an email address now closed. The ID shown is "old name" @sbcglobal.net and the new ID which is everywhere in Apple except on this screen is "new name"@gmail.com.
Little history. I am a old microsoft user but got into IPod a few years ago and set up and account ID (old name @sbcglobal.net). Then in August of 2013 I got into IPhone, started an email address at ICloud.com and closed the old sbcglobal email address. But since Apple does not allow the use of a ICloud address as an ID I opened another new account with gmail.
I found instructions for changing this on the web and changed my ID by signing out at ICloud and installed the new gmail.com ID and it worked for all account info. Then on November 4th I was looking at ICloud in search of some information and noticed that the old ID, "sbcglobal.net" was still showing there, thus this chain of communication.

I changed to a new iphone 5, but it keeps coming up with my old Apple ID FOR iCloud sign in. My Apple ID is correct for iTunes and App Store and on my ipad. The user names stays greed out on the iCloud sign in and I can't change it.

I recently changed from my old Iphone 5 to a new one. The Apple ID that comes up when signing into iCloud is my old Apple ID, yet the correct one is shown on iTunes and apps. I can't change the Apple ID to the correct one, and am unable to restore my latest back up from icloud. I have tried everything, but I can' t change the Apple ID on the phone. It stays greed out. My Apple ID is correct on my ipad and when I log into my iCloud account via the internet. How do can I fix this?

Skip the iCloud sign in for now.
Once you reach the home page, go to settings and sign out of FaceTime and Messages. This should also sign you out of iCloud.
Go to iCloud in settings and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
If that does not work
Skip the iCloud sign in
Go to Apple ID.apple.com and sign in
Change your Apple ID to the old one
Delete iCloud account on your device with the old Apple ID and the same password.
Go back to the website, change your Apple ID back to the current one. You will receive an email to verify the account. Verify first.
Sign into iCloud on your device with the correct Apple ID and password

After the latest update, all my apple products reverted to an old icloud account. As it no longer exists, I cannot get into it to delete it and add the correct id. How can I change this, especially on my Macbook pro?

After the latest update, all my apple products reverted to an old icloud account. As it no longer exists, I cannot get into it to delete it and add the correct id. How can I change this, especially on my Macbook pro? There is no p/w related to it and even though I tried to reset "password" it won't allow as the id does not exist, neither does the email associated with the old id. How do I switch it to a newer id?

It's all rather odd because the old account cannot 'no longer exist' - if you don't have the correct password you won't be able to get into it, but you can't actually delete an iCloud account from the server.
I'm afraid you will need the services of iCloud Support. If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

My iPhone has the correct Apple ID for everything BUT iCloud. How do I change that. Going through Settings shows the incorrect ID but it does not allow change.

Hi Baem_leeds
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you change your Apple ID you will need to sign in with the new information or password the next time you use an Apple service or feature that uses Apple ID. If you have multiple devices that use features and services that require an Apple ID, you will need to sign in again on each device.
The links below will provide additional information:

How do I change my Apple ID for iCloud without losing my data?

I really seem to have made a mess of my transition to iCloud :-( I have had an Apple ID for many years - it's my @gmail.com email address. I also have an @mac.com email address and, because I was a subscriber to MobileMe I have an @me.com email address, too.
I only recently upgraded my MacBook to OS X 10.7.4 after buying an iPad and deciding that I would like to be able to sync information between my MacBook, iPhone (3GS) and iPad.
I believe my problems started when I bought the iPad about a month ago on a trip to New York. I didn't have my MacBook with me to check which Apple ID I should use. I set up my iPad with my @gmail.com address as my Apple ID. When I returned home I discovered that my iCloud ID on my MacBook is my @mac.com email address.
I thought I could simply change the Apple ID on my iPad but I've not found any way that I can do that.
The problems I'm experiencing relate mainly to Calendars - I now have multiple entries for events on all my devices. I also have multiple entries for people in my Address Book and Contacts.
What I would like to do is -
1) retain my @gmail.com address as my Apple ID for the iTunes Store and purchases - this is the one I've always used and I have lots of purchases associated with it.
2) change my Apple ID for iCloud from my @gmail.com address to my @mac.com address so that I can also sync my Mail and, hopefully, eliminate the occurrence of multiple calender entries
If I were to delete my current @gmail.com address Apple ID on my iPad will I lose the data associated with this ID?
Cheers

Thank you for responding to my question so promptly! My Apple ID for my iCloud account on my MacBook is the correct (i.e. my @mac.com) email address. Do I need to sign out and then sign back in after I have changed/updated my details on my iPad?
When I look at the 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars' details on my iPad under the heading 'Accounts' it first shows my @me.com account and the items under that account are 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Find My iPad' - when I expand the account details it shows that my iCloud Account is actually my @mac.com email adddress.
The second entry is iCloud which is currently my @gmail.com account. Under this account are 'Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Reminders, PhotoStream, Documents & Data, Backup.
The third account is headed Gmail and is, indeed, my @gmail.com account, too. Under this account it shows 'Mail, Calendars, Notes'.
Am I correct in suspecting that the reason for my having multiple occurrences of both events in Calendars and people in Contacts is because more than one account is syncing Contacts and Calendars?
Thank you for your help
Cheers

How I can change my Apple ID in iCloud? But there is no such apple ID exists.

Hello everybody,
What a wierd thing happened with my device.
I'm using my apple ID for about 4-5 years.
But few weeks ago it started asking me about different (my old Apple ID) password for iCloud.
I cannot get rid of my old Apple ID in iCloud. It's grey and there is not way to change it.
There are few official apple manuals how to fix the issue: delete the incorrect apple ID and replace it with correct one.
Sure, I tried to delete APPLE ID, but it asking me about a password. I went to https://iforgot.apple.com/ and entered the old apple id there, it said:
Email has been sent. When you receive your sign in information, follow the directions in the email to reset your password.
I'm checking the email, but there is nothing. Actualy the Apple ID is that email.
So, I'm stuck. Cannot change it to correct one in iCloud.
May be somebody resolved the issue before?
Thanks!

You can get account support here : http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/ . Apps are tied to the account that bought/downloaded them, so you would only be able to update your old apps via that account

Recently I changed my apple id but forgot to change my icloud account. I also have Find My IPhone activated. I tried to delete my ICloud account but first I need to switch off my Find My iPhone, to complicate this I can no longer access prev email account

Recently I changed my apple id but forgot to change my iCloud account.
I also have Find My Iphone activated. My old apple id was an old work email address no longer in use nor can be accessed.
I need to be able to turn off Find My Iphone in order to then delete my iCloud account, I need to include my apple id password to turn off Find my Iphone.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance.

Please go to website address: www.idapple.com Go to the blue tab that reads Manage apple id. From there you will have the option to change personal information of your apple id. The fact that the email address you used to create the apple id is no longer accessible as far as an email address goes will not disable you from changing information as part of the apple id account. However to disable the find my device you will need to be able to access this apple id login. Once you are able to access the old apple id account this then will allow you to access the icloud services by going to www.icloud.com from there you will login with your old apple id once logged into icloud.com and you have chosen the correct device you then can erase all contents of the device which then will disable the find my device.
This is one way of doing it. The other way of course would be for you to login to your icloud on your phone using the old Apple id and from there provided you are able to login with password you then can simply disable the find my device inside the icloud account.
Good luck Friend.

Icloud shows wrong apple id , how do i change it

icloud shows wron apple id , how do i change it to the correct apple id

To change the iCloud ID on your phone go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the ID you want to use. (This only deletes the account from your phone, not from iCloud.) If you are signing back into the same account with just a renamed ID, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted. Your iCloud data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
If, however, you are changing to a new iCloud account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then choose Merge after signing into the new account and turning on your iCloud syncing to upload your data to the new account.
Before deleting the account, save your photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

Changing email/apple id for icloud

Now I can not access Icloud because it is using my old email address. I can see no way of updating it to the new email address.
How do I update the emial/apple id in icloud so I can stop getting messages to sign in.

thats because the icloud settings still believe it is signed into the old email as the apple id. icloud is the only setting that has this issue. u will need to change ur primary back to the old email to sign out of the icloud settings, change ur primary back to the email u want to use, verify the new email, and sign into icloud settings using the correct username and pass.
tip: u dont need to verify ur email when u change it to the old one to sign out of the icloud settings. u only need to verify ur email address with ur apple id before u sign back in.

HT5621 Updated Apple ID- the iCloud is still autopopulating my other ID email address and I can't change it from my iCloud, iPhone or anything.

Updated Apple ID- the iCloud is still autopopulating my other ID email address and I can't change it from my iCloud, iPhone or anything. I've updated my Apple ID through my PC, and iTunes Store, but it will not populate and I am losing my mind. This is ridiculously frustrating

If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. 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 iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice 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. You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

Is your phone still covered by warranty? If so, go to your nearest Apple store and depending on what happened, this may or may not be covered by warranty. If it is, then you can get a replacement exactly as the phone you already have.
If out of warranty, then there is nothing you can do and you'll have to pay.

How do i change the apple id in icloud without deleting the old one?

i was given a second hand iphone 4 still logged into the previous owners apple id account. I changed the apple id connected to the itunes and app store to mine but i cant seem to be able to change the one connected to the icloud without deleting the previous owners account which i do not want to do becasue that apple id is still in use. how do i change the id without actually deleting the one currently logged in?

Welcome to the Apple community wensecles.
Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.
