How do I change my Apple ID on my iMac. It is showing an old ID in System Preferences/Internet Accounts and System Preferences/iCloud

My iPhone, iPad and iMac Safari access to the Apple Store and iCloud are fine and accept my new Apple ID. Mail constantly prompts me for a password with a box that shows my old Apple ID. I'm guessing that somewhere on the iMac I can change or delete the old Apple ID? It's not in the Keychain.
iMac OS X 10.10
Mail 8

Thanks Eric. If I try, I get a box with the statement:
Your iCloud account couldn't be removed at this time.
Mail was unable to delete [email protected] (It just shows this as normal black type without the email envelope) Relaunch Mail then sign our of iCloud again.
It shows an OK box.
The Apple ID shown is of course, the old one, that I am trying to change on the iMac. On my iPhone, iPad, the Apple Store and iCloud via safari, only my new Apple ID is shown.
I tried to insert an image of this scenario but I couldn't insert the chosen 138KB tiff image.

Thanks Lawrence. I've spent over 3 hours on the phone/chatting to online support and none of it seemed to help as it all revolved around resetting emails etc but can't do any of it without my access to my old email. Now my phone won't take cloud because they advised to set up new apple ID and use that, but can't sign out of old one completely. Also doesn't help because my phone and laptop are set up on the old one. Thanks for the help.

I recently changed my Apple ID to a new email address. My old one still is in my phone, and cannot be permanently deleted as it says that Find my iPhone is still on. I can't turn it off because I do not have the password to my old "deleted" Apple ID.

How do i change the apple ID on my Imac

I have two apple ID accounts. I want all of my apple devices signed into the same apple ID. How can I change the apple ID that I am signed into on my iMac?

General: System Preferences>Users & Groups, click on your User ID, click on Change next to the User ID
iTunes: Click on the name or "Sign-In" in top menu bar on the right-hand side, and sign out the ID that is signed on, or if no one is signed on, sign on your Apple ID of choice
iCloud: System Preferences>iCloud, sign out the Apple ID that is signed on, sign on the preferred Apple ID
Messages - open Messages, click Preferences>Accounts, sign out and then sign in preferred Apple ID
FaceTime - open FaceTime, click on Preferences, then click on the Apple ID, then on Sign out. Then sign in the preferred Apple ID
I can't think of anything else, though there probably are other places where you might be signed in.
Cheers,
GB

You won't be able to change your country whilst you still have a balance. If you can't spend it then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see them if they can remove the balance so that you can change countries : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Hi Marg42,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
First, your husband can create his own Apple ID via the web, computer, or iPad, if he hasn't already:
My Apple ID
https://appleid.apple.com
iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731
Next, he can sign out of the Apple services that are currently using your Apple ID on your old iPad, and sign in with his own.
This article has instructions for doing so for specific Apple services:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
Alternately, he can erase the device and set it up as new using the steps in this article:

How do I change my Apple ID on only one device?

How do I change my Apple ID on only one device? I inherited my husband's iPhone 5. He cleared it but I set it up with same Apple ID so we could share same iTunes account. However, I realised that there are inconveniences such as not being able to Facetime each other. In addition, his iTunes account is UK-based and we'd like to also have a New Zealand iTunes account for various reasons.

Go to settings/icloud and sign out. Then sign in by creating a new Apple ID. Do the same in Settings for Messages, FaceTime and iTunes & App Store. Next, link your Apple IDs using Family Sharing so you can still share music and apps. Family Sharing - Apple Support
