How do I change Icloud accounts on a device that is used?

So my wife has a used iphone that was given to her by her sister. I can't figure out how to change her icloud account from her sister's to mine. The username is locked in and we don't have access to the current account that is on there. How do I switch the 2?

You will need her password to delete her account, so that you can add yours. Please see also "Removing a device from a previous owner’s account": http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

How do i change icloud accounts on my phone

My phone is synced to my computer at work and I have my own icloud with my email and my husbands phone is synced to the computer at home and he has his own icloud with his email...
My husband did the new update for his phone last night and once he logged into icloud it chose my email address and we are now sharing contacts, calendar events, etc. I don't want them to do this as we both use our personal phones for work. How can I change his phone back to his icloud and we can go back to having our own contacts without all of this mixed up mess???
HELP!!! I'm ready to smash both of them!!!

1. Settings --> iCloud --> Delete account
2. Re-setup iCloud with his own account

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.

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)

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 how do I change ICloud account to a new account

The previous iPhone 4S never used iCloud but had an account created. With the new iPhone 5S I wasn't able to create a new account as I wasn't able to delete the old iCloud account.

On the iPOd yu can go to Settings>Store and sign out of one account and sign into another account.
Just what are you trying to accomplish since you can only synce with one iTunes library.

How to delete friends iCloud account from my devices?

My friend used my computer to log into her iCloud on messages, online and in every way you can. All of our devices have now synced. She has my bookmarks on safari and I have hers. How do I stop this?

If it is currently syncing that means the are using your iCloud account.
Change you iCloud password. The one you use for iMessage if that one is different.
If they just got the info from a sync, there's not much you can do it's already on their device.

I have two iCloud accounts, my original one that I used for iTunes years ago which has all my content, apps etc and a mobile me one which I got when I set mobile me up which has all my settings etc, this is causing problems, can I merge them?

As I said I have two iCloud accounts, both do different things, i.e. my original iTunes account has all my app's and music etc, and then also the account which was set up for me when I set up a 'mobile me' account has all my calendars, contacts, settings etc, how can I merge these or even easily set my settings etc to go to my older iTunes account, I have tried to set up family sharing and all I can share is my calendars not my apps because they are with another iTunes account.
I am also a little concerned that my fire vault has just set its self up using the mobile me account, if I was to get rid of an account I imagine this would be the easiest one to ditch then what would happen to all my encrypted data?
Many thanks for your help.
NIK

I am logged into the same things on both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro, except for mail. I use a gmail IMAP account and everything there already works on both machines. The iCloud account on my iPhone uses one Apple ID and the one on the Mac uses the second Apple ID.

What will happen if you delete an iCloud account on a device that has the same iCloud account on a different device?

I want to switch iCloud accounts on my iPod but I don't want it to delete my iCloud on my iPhone. Will it delte it? Both iPhone and iPods have the same iCloud account.

It will only delete it from the device you press Delete on.
