How can i change the icloud id on an ipad in ios 8

My family of 4 were all sharing my apple ID so that we could all share our purchases.  I have updated all of our iPads to iOS 8 and was really looking forward to the new family sharing features.  However, on my husband's and sons' iPads, I cannot change the iCloud ID to the new ones I have set up for them.  I am able to change their Apple IDs, but I need to be able to change the iCloud IDs to properly set up the family sharing.  Any thoughts or ideas??
Thanks.

Ok, thanks.  In iOS 8 when I go to iCloud, it does not allow me to highlight/select my iCloud ID to remove it.  I only get a place to enter my password.  Even if I try to Sign Out of my iCloud ID, then try to sign back in, it only gives me a place to edit the password, not the iCloud ID. I can go through the iTunes & App Store setting and change the Apple ID and password easily.  How can I do this with the iCloud ID?
fromsouth, Does this help explain it better?

  • How can I change the iCloud account that my iPad backs up to? I now have two iPads. I want the older to go to a new account and the new one to sync to the original account.

    iPad sync to the iCloud account

    You have to create a new Apple ID for the new iPad. But you really don't want to do that because them you will have to purchase all of your content again because paid content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it originally. You will not be able to download all of your previously purchased content for free.
    You can backup multiple iDevices to one iCloud account, I backup my iPod and iPad to one iCloud account. You can always purchase more storage space if you need it. IMO - if you still have a computer - use iTunes. You are only limited by the capacity left on your hard drive when you backup. No need to keep paying for more iCloud storage - again, just my opinion.

  • I don't remember my old Apple ID and I closed my email account that I was using for my old Apple ID. Now, how can I change my icloud id on my Ipad. The old icloud id is still on my Ipad.

    I don't remember my old Apple ID and I closed my email account that I was using for my old Apple ID. Now, how can I change my icloud id on my Ipad. The old icloud id is still on my Ipad.

    ChrisJ4203,
    Thank you for the help.  Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID.  I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone.  In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one.  My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID.  Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I  agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

  • HT4623 How can I change my Icloud account on my ipad to the one I use on my iphone?

    How can I change my Icloud account on my ipad to the one I use on my iphone?
    For example on my iphone I log in with a yahoo account.  My ipod was originally set up with another e-mail account (which I can't remember the password).  I want to use the yahoo e-mail and the password associated with it to log on to both devices.

    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 > 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.

    I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
    please help :-(

    That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
    If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
    If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

  • How can I change the ICloud/ID Apple on my Ipad/IPhone?

    I've changed my Apple ID and I've changed the ID of Itunes on my IPad/IPhone.
    Now I want to change the IPad/IPhone ID on ICloud, but my IPad keep and store on my previous ID. How can I change the ICloud ID Apple on my Ipad/IPhone?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    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, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
    This article provides more information about Activation Lock.

  • HT204053 How can I change the iCloud id associated with my iPad?

    How can I change the iCloud ID associated with my iPad?

    To change the ID for:
    iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
    FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
    iTunes, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Store.
    iCloud, start by saving your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your My Photo Stream album, tap Select, tap all the photos you want to save, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.  This will delete the account and iCloud data from your phone but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a new account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.  However, if you are setting up a new account with a new ID, when you delete the account be sure to choose Keep on My iPad, then choose Merge when you sign into the new account to upload your data.

  • How can we change the Apple ID on our iPad to another owner?

    How can we change the Apple ID on our iPad to another owner?

    Settings->iTunes and App Stores->Apple ID->Sign Out     Sign in with another Apple ID.
    However all Apps purchased with the previous ID will be forever tied to it and will always require it to update.
    So if you plan on changing owners its better to wipe the iPad clean, and let the new owner set it up from scratch.
    Settings->General->Reset->Erase All Content and Settings will put the iPad back to the way it was when it was first taken out of the box.

  • After I've set-up my iOS device with an Apple ID for iCloud, how can I change the iCloud Apple ID?

       After updating my iPad 2 & iPhone 4 to iOS 5, I set-up each one for iCloud, but inadvertently used 2 different Apple ID's (one me.com and one that I typically use for Apple purchases).  I realize this will prevent the two devices from syncing.  When I try to change the iCloud Apple ID, it is grayed out, and I can't find any way to re-set it on my iPad.  Does anyone know how to re-set this ID so both devices are operating on the same ID?
      I have a second question (though not as pressing as the first).  I'd like to use my me.com ID to sync calendars, contacts, etc., but another ID to sync my Apple purchases (apps, etc.).  This way my wife and I could share apps, but each sync our iPhones and iPads to our own content.  Does anyone know if this type of dual-ID set-up is possible on one device?
       I know there's a lot of confusion out there, but I'm trying to keep in mind that this is a huge upgrade and transition for Apple, so it will all work out, and should be fantastic when it does.  It'll just take a little time to sort out.  Thanks for any suggestions!  -Bob-

    Hi Jeremy,
        That is my understanding.  Clicking "Delete Account" is similar to logging out of iCloud with that account. 
       But your situation is different from mine, as I had been using my @me.com account for "Find My iPhone" only.  I ended up using my @me.com account for iCloud and another account for my Apple iTunes Store purchases.
       That's correct--it will not delete your purchases.  You can still back-up to your Mac with iTunes using the same account you used to purchase your Apple stuff.  -Bob-

  • I bought a Macbook Air, how can I change the icloud credentials for ownership..?

    Thanks in advance...!!!!!!

    If you have admin privileges create a new User account so you start fresh or you can go to System Preferences > iCloud and sign out using his ID and sign in with your ID. I suggest moving to a new User.
    CREATE A NEW USER
    Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups. Give it Admin rights
    Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar.
    Delete the previous account after you have moved your personal files over to the new User via the Shared folder.

  • How can I change the iCloud appleID?

    I have changed my appleID for iTunes and it isn't updating on my iCloud. Is there a way to upset it?

    To change the iCloud ID 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.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current 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 iDevice on your device, 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 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.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
