How can I replace a previous icloud account and add a new one on iphone 4S?

I am using my wife's old iphone 4s and I want to set up my own icloud account and remove hers from the phone without cancelling her access to her icloud account.

Hello topbleep,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you’re wife’s iCloud account is signed in on the phone you are using and you would like it to have your account. You can sign out of her iCloud account on the iPhone and sign in to your account. This will not cancel her iCloud account. To sign out of an iCloud account on an iPhone, please follow the instructions located in the attached article. 
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
On your iOS device: Go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Sign Out (Delete Account in iOS 7 and earlier).
Have a great day,
Joe

    You can't cancel it. Stop using the old one.

  • HT4759 How can i delete an old iCloud account and start using my own using my Apple ID? If I don't have the old password??

    How can i delete an old iCloud account and start using my own using my Apple ID? If I don't have the old password??

    If your device is signed into an old iCloud ID that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
    If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the 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.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (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 (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

    You have to sign out of the old one and then sign back in with the new one. On an iOS device it's Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server, just disengage the device from it). On a Mac it's System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'.

    You can go to icloud.com, open Mail, click on the gear shaped icon on the upper right and choose preferences, go to the Vacation tab and set up an auto response saying that the account is no longer in use.  Then go to Settings>iCloud and turn Mail to Off on your device and stop using the account.
    Incoming email to the account will receive your vacation auto response, and eventually the mailbox will fill up and no longer receive mail at all.

  • Ive changed my apple id. in my iPad and iPhone under iTunes it's showing the new id but under iCloud still shows old I'd. I have been told to delete account and add in new one but worried in case lose all my stuff that's already saved in iCloud. any idea?

    If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID.  Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
    If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
    Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

  • Can i delete my itunes store account and create a new one?

    i have an itunes account open already but its old and full of old downloads and songs which are not relevant to me anymore. id like to delete my account and open a new one, is this possible? if not, how could i make a new account with the same email as my old account?
    any help is much appreciated, thank you.

    Then just delete the music from your iTunes library that you no longer want.
    There is no reason to create a new iTunes account to purchase new music. This will not delete the old music in your iTunes library.

  • If I delete my iCloud account and make a new one on my phone will it mess up anything? Will it erase my phone or something like that?

    Help would be majorly appreciated!

    If you want to create a new iCloud account and move your date to the new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.  You cannot move an existing iCloud email account to the new iCloud account.  When you turn Mail on in Settings>iCloud, you will be asked to create your new @icloud.com email address.

  • How can i sign out of apple id and create a new one without it affecting my other devices

    How can i sign out of apple id and create  new one without it effecting my other devices using my existing apple id

    Content is tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it - so if you created a new account as opposed to updating the old one, then you will need to continue to use the old account to download updates to its apps or to re-download its past purchases. If you didn't create a new account but instead updated your old one then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in

    How do I delete an existing account and set up a new account

    I suggest changing the existing ID rather than creating a new one, all purchases are forever linked to the ID that bought and can never be transferred, you can change all detauils about your ID here:

  • How can I remove the previous iCloud account of the previous owner even though I bought it from him? And then he locked my phone and said that it was lost. I tried to contact him but I cannot reach him anymore. Please help me guys. :(

    Sir/mam. Please Help me.

    Sorry, but without knowing the Apple ID and password that has been used to set up the phone, you can't set it up with a different Apple ID. The Activation Lock has to be deactivated first. And nobody but the previous owner can do that.

  • HT201441 How can I remove the previous iCloud account of the previous owner even though I bought it from him? And then he locked my phone and said that it was lost. I tried to contact him but I cannot reach him anymore. Please help me guys. :(

    Guys can you help me?

    No. You have reached Activation Lock, a security feature that can only be signed out from by the original owner. Not even Apple can help you out with this.
    Sorry but the device is useless. Seeing you cannot contact the previous owner then a refund also seems impossible which would have been your only other option.
