How do I update the apple ID on iCloud?

I changed the email address associated with my apple ID. However, my old email address is still showing in iCloud. It keeps asking for my password, but won't let me in because the ID is wrong. How can I update the apple ID to the show the correct email address in iCloud? I did update the email address in the users & groups under "system" on my mac, but that didn't solve the problem.
Thanks

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.

How do you change the apple ID on iCloud?

I recently updated my apple ID and password. However, my iCloud on my MacBook Pro and my iPhone 4S don't recognize that either have changed, so I keep getting locked out of my iCloud. Even when presented with my original apple ID and typing in the password for that ID, I still get locked out. I keep getting suggested to "Manage Account", but it wants me to change my password. So, my question essentially is, how do I change my apple ID in iCloud on my MacBook Pro? I have the OS X 10.9.5 operating system. I've tried searching other troubleshooting methods with no success.

You have to sign out completely and then sign back in on all your devices.
On a Mac, System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign Out'
On an iOS device, Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete Account' (this will not delete the account from the server).

HT204053 My e-mail address has changed. How do I update the Apple ID that is showing for my iCloud?

My e-mail address that was used for my Apple ID has changed. I have changed my Apple ID to my new e-mail address, but how do I go about changing my iCloud to my new Apple ID?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
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)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

How do i change the apple id in icloud without deleting the old one?

i was given a second hand iphone 4 still logged into the previous owners apple id account. I changed the apple id connected to the itunes and app store to mine but i cant seem to be able to change the one connected to the icloud without deleting the previous owners account which i do not want to do becasue that apple id is still in use. how do i change the id without actually deleting the one currently logged in?

Welcome to the Apple community wensecles.
Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

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.

HT5622 How do I change the Apple ID for iCloud on my phone?

I have changed my Apple ID. It works on all aspects of my phone except iCloud where I cannot change the Apple ID. It keeps asking for the password for my old ID and will not allow me to change the ID for iCloud in my phone. I have logged out using my Apple ID in settings and signed in again. This did not change it in iCloud.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

This is incorrect.
If you go to Settings > iCloud and delete the account, nothing in iCloud is deleted.

How do I update my apple ID in icloud on my ipod touch ?

I recently changed my apple ID and the correct ID shows up in iTunes & App Stores but not in iCloud. I cannot sign out of the old account in iCloud>Account to sign into the new one.

Thanks...that worked but I think "Delete Account" should read "Sign Out" or "Change Accounts". "Delete Account" seems to be a little missleading..(it was to me anyway)

HT5622 How can I switch the Apple ID that iCloud uses, if my previous Apple ID no longer works?

One of my family members got a new iPhone and set it up with the same apple ID that the rest of my family uses. Now we can no longer use this apple ID. We have tried changing the password but the security questions will not accept the correct answers and the authorization email will not send. I can't delete the iCloud account on my phone because you need the old account's password to deactivate find my iphone.

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.
