How do I change my Apple ID that is associated with iCloud on my iPhone 5?

When I go into iCloud settings on my phone it is connected with my old and now non-existent Apple ID.  The option to change it does not appear to be there and now I am getting constant pop ups asking for the password of this non-existent account. Help!!

Problem resolved!  Deleted the current account and signed in with the new one.

  • How do I change the apple id that has my husband email on my iphone? trying to update a free app

    The free, "Find my IPhone" app I installed says it needs updated (and the other 4 free games I have) but when I try to update, the Apple ID comes up with my husbands email, not mine. He has an Ipod and an ITunes account, no IPhone. I haven't purchased anything yet, but did created an ITunes account. Maybe it's something with that, but I can't figure it out. I tried logging out of ITunes and logging back in, same with the Iphone-settings, store, logged out and back in (and it shows my correct account). I also synced my phone.  Itunes shows my name at the top, too.
    Can you help me-I'm a newbee... Love the IPhone, just don't know what to do about this.. Thank you so much!!

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them originally.  As a result, when you update an app it will always ask for the password for the Apple ID used to purchase it.  If you are being asked for your husband's Apple ID password when you update an app, this means that it was purchased using your husband's Apple ID.  You wlll have to enter his password to update it.  The only way to stop this is to delete the app(s) from your phone.

    How do I change the apple ID that is currently set on my iPhone

    Log out of the current account and log in with the new credentials. You will always get the old Apple ID whenever you update apps that were downloaded/bought with that ID, as apps and media are forever tied to one apple ID.
    If you do not want that to happen when you update thos apps in the future, you will have to delete them, and if you want them back, you will need to repurchase/ redownload them with the new Apple ID.

  • Apple id associated with icloud on my iphone is old and different how do I change id to current

    My iphone 5 has iCloud. I didn't register for iCloud or sign up an ID for it, but it apparently is using an old Apple ID associated with a closed account.  Today I tried to download Apple iOS 7 and the iCloud is telling me I need to log on to the iCloud otherwise right now I can't log on to my wifi network, I don't have my apps and need to reload them, and I have lost all information and data including personal photos saved since June on my iPhone. How can I change the Apple ID associated with iCloud on my iPhone 5 to match my current Apple ID in iTunes so I can hopefully log on my wifi network, get my apps backs, and find my data.  Why is iCloud, an app I have never used before, preventing me from logging on my wifi network and losing my data and telling me I need to reload my apps?

    Try resetting the password for the Apple ID as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787.
    If you can't, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • HT1918 I am unable to locate where to change the phone number that is associated with my itunes account.

    I am unable to locate where to change the phone number that is associated with my itunes account.  I have a new number and the old number is no longer accessible by me.  I've logged into my iTunes acct and it seems I can only change my appleID itself, my billing address info, and password and things like that.  I cannot find where to remove a number and add a new one.  I've gone to my mobile devices (iphone, ipad) as well as my mac and I'm getting a bit frustrated with it.  I'm sure there's a simple solution and I'm just missing it.  Going to settings>messages>send&receive....there is the old number and no option to make a correction.  I've unchecked it but why can't I add the new number?  On my iphone the ONLY option that shows up is my current number but when I set up my new ipad I have the issue described here.  I want this number completely removed from my account there has to be a way to get it out of the system.  
    Also when going to settings>facetime>you can be reached at:  shows email addresses as well as the OLD phone number with no option to make the correction, remove the incorrect number, or add a new number.  I figured this was tied in to my appleID since thats when it showed up (right when I signed in on my ipad).  So I went to itunes on my mac and went to my account and there I find AppleID Summary, itunes in the cloud, purchase history, and settings.  I've gone through each of those and am still unable to figure out where to change it.  Somebody PLEASE tell me where to find this data so I can change it.  I've seen multiple inquiries about this all over the internet but everyone's solution is to do exactly what I've already done.  No resolution to the real issue. 

    Apple will have it, but if there is ever a question/problem, the store that you made the exchange at will have it on record. 
    But if you're worried about it call 800-APL-CARE and see if they have it.

    Hello Rsd841979,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    It's not very clear to me what you're trying to accomplish with iCloud, but if you want to start backing up to iCloud, then you can follow the directions in the article below.  If this is not what you are trying to do, then please let me know what you're wanting to use iCloud with.

    Take care,

  • I buy all of our movies on our apple TV that is associated with my apple ID. I want to put a movie on my wife's new iPad but it gives me a 90 day warning that she won't be able to download anything. Do we really have to buy two copies of the same movie?

    I buy all of our movies on our apple TV that is associated with my apple ID. I want to put a movie on my wife's new iPad but it gives me a 90 day warning that she won't be able to download anything. Do we really have to buy two copies of the same movie? There has to be a way for one family to share movies on all of our devices.

    Ahh, thank you! What a pain in the neck. I figure I must have been signed into his account at some other point in time, maybe after... watching a movie..? [Though, that'd be the iTunes store, right? Not the App Store.] Anyway, some situation must've occured where I absentmindedly updated and iPhoto is now tied up with his account.
    I'll go ahead and contact support to see if they can get me sorted. I suppose I can just ask him for his password, but.. oh, you know, it's a temporary solution and I guess I was just hoping to easily get iPhoto properly associated with myself again. Thank you!

  • How can I change the Apple ID that appears on my iPod Touch? It's not the correct ID.

    Somehow the email address that appears as my Apple ID when opening my iPod Touch (5th gen) is not my correct email address/Apple ID.  How can I change my Apple ID withing my Touch so I can access apps?

    You might have to transfer purchases to your account. If its signed in on a different account. Or,
    1. Go to iTunes on your iPod.
    2. Click music and scroll down to the bottom on your iPod.
    3. It should show the apple ID that's signed in, and press it and choose sign out.
    4. Then click sign in and it should work.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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 can I change my Apple ID that is stored in my iCloud Account Information?

    I need to update my iCloud account on my Touch with a new Apple ID.  How can I do this?  Thanks!

    To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.
    When you delete the account you will be prompted about whether to delete or keep the iCloud data.  If you are signing back into the same account that has only been renamed, choose Delete.   Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.  If you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep, then sign back in with your new ID and choose Merge with iCloud to upload your data to the new account.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
