How do I change my apple ID & Icloud ID?
My kids and I have been sharing the same apple ID and icloud ID so updates mess up all our phones cause eveyones info gets put together then downloaded onto each phone. So I want to make a seperate account for each of us so our stuff stays on the right phone. So how do I change my apple ID & Icloud ID and any other ID's without losing anything?
you can make separate ids, however purchases only follow original ids. sounds like you need to turn off auto downloads in settings - itunes and app store. now you can create separate icloud accounts, but in itunes you will have to repurchase the things you want on those devices.
Peace, Clyde

How do I change the Apple ID that iCloud uses to sync the iPad?
How do I change an iPad's iCloud Apple ID without deleting that entire iCloud account? When I go to Settings>iCloud on this iPad, the Apple ID email address is not an active field, so I cannot enter the new Apple ID. The iPad is currently syncing successfully using iCloud--but to my husband's account/data. I want to enter the Apple ID that my Mac uses to sync with my Mac. I see "Delete Account" below in the iPad Settings>iCloud, but I don't know what "delete" means here.
Cancel my question, please. I found the answer: delete the account, enter the new Apple ID and save data to device and merge data, and create a new account.

How do you change the apple ID on iCloud?
I recently updated my apple ID and password. However, my iCloud on my MacBook Pro and my iPhone 4S don't recognize that either have changed, so I keep getting locked out of my iCloud. Even when presented with my original apple ID and typing in the password for that ID, I still get locked out. I keep getting suggested to "Manage Account", but it wants me to change my password. So, my question essentially is, how do I change my apple ID in iCloud on my MacBook Pro? I have the OS X 10.9.5 operating system. I've tried searching other troubleshooting methods with no success.
You have to sign out completely and then sign back in on all your devices.
On a Mac, System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign Out'
On an iOS device, Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete Account' (this will not delete the account from the server). -
I have a different Apple id on my PowerBook from that on my iMac and iPad. Photo Stream does not connect to my Powerbook. How do I change the Apple id in iCloud on my PowerBook? Will this link all 3 machines to PhotoStream?
You can't simply change the details.
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 my Apple ID in iCloud. I changed my Apple ID but when I go to settings iCloud the old id is grayed out and won't let me change it now because my password is for the new id but I can out the new id in the Apple ID spot

How do you change your Apple-ID in iCloud on iPhone-4S
How can I change my Apple-ID in iCloud on iPhone-4S to my new Apple-ID? I do not know the password for the old Apple-ID that is iin iCloud
If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new 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, 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.

My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer. For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it. I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud. How do I change the Apple ID (not the password)?
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. -
how can I change the Apple ID associated with my iCloud account? I changed it in my itunes but the old id is still hijacking my icloud!
Hello pscorning1,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you have already changed the information associated with your current Apple ID (*not* created an entirely new Apple ID), you may find the following article about updating the various Apple ID services helpful:

How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7?
How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7? When I updated to iOS7 it kept my old ID on some features and my new one on others. I was able to change my Apple ID on all apps except iCloud. I don't have the original email account I used when setting up my iPhone with the old Apple ID and I have no clue what the password was. It appears I first need to turn off "Find my iPhone" which requires the old Apple ID, then I can delete the iCloud account. I want to use my current Apple ID to be able to use the "Find my iPhone" feature in iOS7. I hope someone can help!!

That doesn't help. It's an old email that doesn't work anymore. Please read the entire post. iOS7 won't let you delete iCloud unless you have the password for the old/inactive email/Apple ID.
You never mentioned that you didn't have access to that email. There are some specific steps you can perform to retrieve the old Apple ID password. -

How can I change my icloud account information on my iphone 4S? When I did the latest update my icloud account reverted to the original ID I had when setting up my account. How can I change my apple ID when I am in setting > iCloud > account > Apple ID? Again my ID went to original ID and I do not know how to update it to my new one.
Thanks!If you want to move to a new, separate iCloud account you have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. Deleting the account will only delete it from your phone, not from iCloud. This will not effect other devices still using the account. Also, you can continue to share your ID for the iTunes and App stores even though you will have a different ID for iCloud. They do not need to be the same.
To begin, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them. To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, if you have any data in either iCloud account that you no longer want (such as someone else's contacts) you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete it. -
How can I change my apple iD in my iCloud account info on my iPhone 4
How can I change my Apple ID in my iCloud account for my iPhone 4? I have updated to my new Apple ID on iCloud and iTunes, but my phone still shows my old apple id, thus it's not letting me restore previously backed up info.
Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. Then log in using a different ID.

How do I change my apple id on iPhone4 in settings/iCloud and settings/mail,contacts,calendar? iCloud does not sync with my iPhone4. iCloud syncs fine with my iPad and my iPad has the new apple id in settings/iCloud. I had to change my original apple id when I upgraded to Mountain Lion in order to have iCloud sync. iCloud does not sync with my iPhone4. My iPhone4 settings/iCloud shows my original apple id and will not allow me to change it.
To change your iCloud ID you have to delete the account, then sign in with the alternate ID. Before doing this, if you want to keep your data and move it to the new account, go to Settings>iCloud and turn each of your synced data to Off, and when prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. When everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account, the sign back in with your other account ID and turn syncing back on; when prompted, choose merge.
If all your data is already in your other account then you don't need to do this. Just delete the account from your phone, selected not to keep the data, then sign into the new account, turn on data syncing and if prompted, choose merge.
