How do I change the account in my icloud settings

I have the 5c iphone. In the apps store my correct Apple Id is there however in the setting for my iCloud account it lists my old email address for my Apple ID and I can't figure out how to change it there. Can anyone help me?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, 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 iPhone on your device, 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.

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. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
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.
To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID.

If you are using your main account for iTunes, you should continue to do so, otherwise you will lose access to many of your purchased items made that account.
You can delete the AOL account for iCloud only on your iPhone and first iPad, by going to settings > iCloud, scrolling down and hitting delete account button. You will then enter your me account details into the iCloud settings.
When you delete your AOL account from the iCloud settings, the phone should give you the option of keeping your data on the phone, you need to make sure that you choose this option, and also choose the option to merge when you add your new account back.

Hi,
Are you talking about changing the Apple ID used for purchases in iTunes? If so go to 'Settings->iTunes & App Store-> then 'tap' on the Apple ID that appears and click Sign Out on menu that appears. You can now login with a different Apple ID.
Regards,
Steve

how can i change the account name to our firm's name?

The name that appears in Adobe Send is the name that you used when you created your Adobe ID. You can update this by clicking on your name in the upper-right corner and selecting My Information ...
Once the My Information dialog appears, you can change the First Name and Last Name on the account. Note that you're updating your Adobe ID, so in many places where you use that Adobe ID, it will display with those names. (Some Adobe sites, such as this forum, use other screennames; those would not be affected.)

How do u change the account holder in the app store

How do you change the account holder in the app store? Thanks

I'm not sure what you are actually asking, but if you mean how do you sign into another Apple ID - go to Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap the ID that you are signed into and sign out of that one, then sign in with the other ID. You can do this in the App Store as well, by going to the featured tab and swipe to the bottom of the screen. Tap on the ID there and sign out, then sign in with the other ID.
You can't change the account holder of an iTunes account. The account is yours and yours alone. Someone else can use it, but you can't transfer ownership of the account.

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)

When you go into iCloud there is an option to delete the account. The help desk advised me that using this option only deletes it on the phone and not the actual Apple ID. If you delete it you are given an option to keep content associated with this ID on the phone, which may be a good idea unless you want to completely refresh your phone.
Once you delete the account, you can then enter a new Apple ID.
I've just done it and it worked fine, leaving the original Apple ID intact and working on another phone.

Hello how do you change the account name

Hello I've bought a second hand Mac mini.
Under system preferences...users and groups...user admin...advanced options
How do you change the user ID, Group, Account name and home directory name?
When I go to do this there is a warning sigh that the user won't be able to log in. As I'm the new owner of the Mac mini I'd like to put my own name there but not share if I'm doing it right.
Thanks Edd

Hello Eddie,
Good thing you asked, not that easy, & can be dangerous...

Log out of your old account on iTunes and then re-sync your iPod Touch. Unplug your iPod Touch and then next time you go to the apps store, it'll ask you for your FULL account details i.e. e-mail address and password. Enter in the new account details and you shoudl be sorted.

Hello eric-evans,
If by Apple account you mean you changed your Apple ID, you should be advised that your Apple ID is used or tied into a number of different functions and services. If you have changed your Apple ID, you may find the information and steps in the following article helpful. In particular, with regard to Messages, you would want to double-check that the steps are done in the order listed.

HT204053 I have changed my apple ID, but the account info on iCloud is still showing my old ID. How do I change the account name/ID for iCloud?

I have changed my Apple ID but the account info on iCloud is still referencing the old ID. How do I change the iCloud account details?

If you simply renamed your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account. This will delete the account from your phone (but not from iCloud) as well as any synced data. But provided you are signing back into the same account (just with a new name) it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in. Then set up your iCloud account with the new ID name and turn syncing back on. If you have photos in your photo stream album that are older than 30 days that you don't have anywhere else, you will need to save these to your camera roll before deleting the account. To do this, open your photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If, however, you are changing to a new ID you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (Be sure to save any photo stream photos to your camera roll prior to deleting the account, as mentioned above.) Next, set up a new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
