How do I change my iPhones apple ID?
I inherited an iPhone from my grandma after she upgraded but she didn't know her apple ID so i couldn't reset the phone when i got it. Now iCloud is set up under that email and I can't delete it without knowing the password. Is there any other way to delete iCloud and put in my OWN apple ID?

No.
First you state: "she didn't know her apple ID", then you state: "iCloud is set up under that email", which of couse is her Apple ID. So, does she know her Apple ID or not?
If you know the Apple ID, but not the password, read here:

I merged my Apple ID accounts on my iPhone and iPod...how can I change the iPhone Apple ID account so that the iPod and iPhone has there own?
I think I understand what you mean. You were asked if you wanted to merge the contacts with your iCloud account. Contacts take up very little room and are probably not the reason that your iCloud is full. If you're now backing up two devices to iCloud rather than one, that will indeed take up more room.
You cannot undo the contact merge. You can go to Settings>iCloud on either device and see what categories of stuff you're backing up and make selections. You can also purchase more iCloud space there. -
My original apple id email was hacked. how can i change my apple id for my iphone 4. im able to change it for the pc and my ipad but cannot chonge it for the phone
I had the same problem last month.
The only fix was to call Apple Support. Basically, the history of the account could be followed and the hacker had changed the email address and no doubt the password of my apple id. The account also showed purchases in £ so I suspect the associated country been changed as well? Apple support blocked his associated credit card, restored the account back to a date where I had last used it and we then changed the Apple ID to a new email address. I could have used the old Apple ID, effectively regaining control of it, but I wasn't attached to it and it enhanced security by changing it.
Scared myself last night as my daughetrs iphone had been associated with the old ID and she couldn't access the icloud acocunt. I'd manged to restore her iphone, although it was asking for the passowrd of the hacked Apple ID, I used the password for the 'new' ID (just the old one with a changed email) and it worked. Even after restoring the iphone, I still had to change my 'new' apple id back to the 'old' email so she could sign out of the 'old' icloud account on her phone after the restore and disable 'find my iphone'. Only then could she add her own personal icloud account and I changed my apple id back to the new email. Confused?
Point is, you will need apple support to regain control of your apple id. If you're not attched to it and want a new or modified apple id, make sure you sign out of all assoicted devices first! -
When trying to update my apps on my iphone my husband's Apple ID pops up. How can I change to my Apple ID?
If you have apps purchased from more than one account that need updating you have top update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account. As the other replier said, you have to log into the account that purchased than app to update it.

How do I change the default apple id (email address) that is prompted on my iPhone? It prompts me with an id that I do not have and cannot access.
When do you get prompted for this ID? If you are asked for an AppleID
you do not know during Activation, contact the seller for assistance. Only
the person who set the Activation Lock can remove it. If the seller refuses
or does not know the requested AppleID and passcode, return the iPhone
for a full refund as it is useless. There is no work around for Activation Lock,
The person who set the lock needs to follow the actions in this link:
Prepare your device to sell or give away
You can check if Activation Lock is the problem here:
https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/
That link will only tell you if the iPhone is Activation Locked - it will not provide
any information about the source of the lock, nor can you get any information
from any source other than the original owner of the iPhone/person who set
the lock.

The calendar week view on my iphone 4s starts on a Sunday. I am synching with outlook on my computer (pc) which starts the week view on a Monday which I prefer. How do I change my iphone calendar view to start the week on a Monday? I am in Australia.
I have just noticed the other discussion points - mine is set to Australia.
Dear Apple - as the day that the week starts on can depend on country and religion - how about making it an option that the user can change????I believe the week view on the iPhone is handled by the Region settings in the phone. I am not aware of any other manner to change it, as you can with Outlook.

how can I change my iphone username to update apps and download anything with the new email I have today?
Before you make an apple ID with the new email, go to appleid.apple.com. login with your old email and password. change your old email to your new one. Now you can use your new email as your apple id, but beware if you go through the process of creating a new appleid with your new email address you will not be able to attach your old account to your new email.

My husband registered an iphone in his name and have given it to me. I have an Ipad registered in my name. How can I change the Iphone from his apple id to my name and sync both devices.
You can create up to 3 alias addresses but you have to do this on icloud.com from your computer browser. This article explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622. Also, incoming email to an alias address will go to your current iCloud inbox so it really isn't a separate account; just a different email address for the same account.
Each iCloud account only has a single iCloud email account. If you really want to set up another, you would need to add a secondary iCloud account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, then entering a different Apple ID to create the account. You can then turn on Mail to create the new account. Mail in secondary accounts, however, is fetch email, not push (which is only supported in the primary account). -

How much costs change the iphone 5 retina screen?
how much costs change the iphone 5 retina screen? i'd need know it, my retina screen is broken
Apple reportedly now will replace the screen in an iPhone 5 for US $149. Availabllity of repair services may vary by country, and I'm not sure if other models of iPhone also can be repaired, so call Apple Support or visit an Apple Store and ask for information. For other problems Apple at this time does not at this time repair iPhones, but will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ coverage, the cost will low; in the US it's $49. If you do not have AppleCare+ on your iPhone, see the Service Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
There are independent iPhone repair services that may be able to do the repair for less than Apple's out-of-warranty charge. Do a web search for "iPhone repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPhone serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further warranty and support from Apple will be voided.

When i got my iPhone 5 the lock bottom didn't work I live in Panama City, Panama how can i change it
According to Apple's web site, service for the iPhone in Panama is provided by the cell carrier that sold the iPhone; Movistar, Claro, or Cable & Wireless, or by Brightstar:
http://www.brightstarcorp.com/about/locations#latin-america
You will need to contact your cell carrier or Brightstar to arrange for service. Note that this applies only to iPhones officially sold in Panama. If you purchased your iPhone in another country, you will need to take or send your iPhone to that country for service.
