How do I sign out of iCloud on an iPad?

My son has an iPad, but it's configured with my wife's iCloud account. Since he's a minor, we've used a 'family' account for music and apps purchases. I'm starting now to set up up with his own iCloud account, but I see that his iPad is already configured to use my wife's iCloud account.
How can I sign out this iCloud account, to begin the process of creating a new one for him?
I see under Settings - iCloud, there is a "delete account" at the bottom, which I'm very reluctant to use, since this is a valid account that my wife uses. SO - is using this button the equivalent of logging off, but not really deleting? Or will it really delete the account?

Go ahead, tap the delete account button. Deleting the account from your iOS device will do just that, it will not delete the data in iCloud.
By the way are you aware that iCloud and iTunes are different accounts. You can maintain separate iCloud accounts and hence separate contacts, calendars etc, etc, though share an iTunes accounts and hence all your music and apps.

Tap on the Apple ID (yellow line in the above image) menu then choose Sign Out.
You have done.

I set up an apple id for my wife and I can not figure out how to sign out of Icloud on her new phone, which is currently using my apple id

If she needs to migrate a copy of the data to her new account, choose Keep; then choose Merge with iCloud after signing into the new account.

I changed my email Adress for my Apple ID. How can I sign out of iCloud and put my new email address in for my Apple ID in iCloud?

I changed the email address for my Apple ID and so how can I chAnge it to my new email Adress on my iCloud?

You should have done it the other way arround. You should have started with signing out, before you changed your email. I would suggest to follow these steps...
1. change your email address back to the old one
2. delete your iCloud account from all your devices (especially turn off "Find My iPhone")
3. change your email to your new email address aigain
4. add your iCloud account again

How do you log out of iclouds if your ipad id is diabled

I have been given a ipad from Evocca Collage to use with my studys unfortunatly the password they have set my IPad up with has been diabled and I have had to do a factory rest to my Ipad how do I restart my IPad if the password has been disabled. I cant sign in or out of iCloud on Ipad as I need to be able to activate the ipad to restart it. Thanks for your help

If you are getting a message that the account is disabled (is that what you mean by 'password has been disabled' ?) then your college should be able to re-enable the account by answering its security questions or by requesting a reset email via http://iforgot.apple.com . If they can't do it via the questions or email then they can contact Support in your country, they should be able to reset the password : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security.

How can I log out of iCloud on my iPad Air?

I recently updated my Apple ID. I was able to get that new ID to work with iTunes, on my iPhone 5, and with iCloud on my computer and on the web.
But my iPad Air is stuck on the old Apple ID and it will not let me change it.
I have synced the iPad Air with iTunes using the USB cable (even though the cable isn't necessary) and it syncs fine - but iTunes on my computer has the new Apple ID and the iPad Air still has the old one! (So technically, it shouldn't sync or it should copy the new ID info over onto the iPad Air, right?)
When I go to iCloud on the iPad under Settings and click on Account, it pops up with the old Apple ID, but it is greyed out. It will not accept the password. It will not allow me to log out. It will not allow me to change the Apple ID. Is it pulling this from some other area? iTunes on the iPad shows the correct Apple ID.
Can someone please tell me how I can fix this?
Thanks!!

It won't let me. And I have now discovered that this is also an issue on my iPhone. I thought the phone was okay last night, but it's not. I now cannot get to anything on the phone.
I haven't had time yet to try your second suggestion, but I will try it. I don't use FaceTime, never have, so I don't know if that will work. I do know that nothing is working with iCloud.
Okay, I was able to at least get back to my main screen on my phone. I will try the second suggestion when I get to the office.

If you're talking about the iCloud backup you can't veiw the actual data contained in the backup, you can only restore it to your device. You can see the categories of data contained in the backup on your device by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of the device backup in the Backups list and look at the Backup Options. You won't see anything about the backup(s) on icloud.com.

How to sign out of icloud on a mac, save calendars?

Hi there. I just bought a new iPhone 5 in Australia (I'm from NZ). I created a new Australian iTunes account and want to use iCloud with my mac and iPhone. How do I sign out of iCloud on my mac without deleting my calendar and notes? It seems I have to delete my calendars on my mac to sign out. Thanks in advance!

Calendars.
Export them to your desktop before you delete them, you can then re-import them once you have changed accounts.
Notes.
Move them to the 'On my Mac' account before deleting the account and move them again to the new account once you log in.

Can I set up two iCloud accounts on my IPAD3 at the same time? If not how do you sign out of one to sign in to another?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can add more than one account to your iPad, but you can only have one primary account. Secondary accounts which you can add at settings> mail, contacts, calendars do not have all the features of a primary account such as photo stream.

You cannot.

Had to change my Apple ID because the original email address is no longer valid. How do I change the iCloud user name on iMac? I found instructions about signing out of iCloud and signing back end. It asks questions about contact, etc.

Had to change Apple ID due to email address no longer valid. Trying to change id for icloud...saw direction online about signing out of icloud and signing back in...when it ask questions about contacts, photos, etc. being deleted how do I answer those? That just sort of freaks me out.

For the ones that give you an option, select the option you want (keep on the Mac or Delete). For the ones that are simply warning you, click on Delete from Mac.
They will all come back when you sign back on, since all you did was change your existing Apple ID to a new email address. It's the same iCloud account, just with a different name.
It's the only way to get your updated ID signed onto iCloud.
Cheers,
