How to change iCloud Apple ID in iPhone

Hi,
I have restored a previous iPhone (4) backup onto a newly purchased iPhone 5c to keep settings/content. The previous iPhone had iCloud enabled. I recently changed my Apple ID due to change of employer - I do not have access to that old email address any longer. How do I change the iCloud Apple ID on the iPhone so that I can enter my new Apple ID into the "iCloud" settings on the iPhone?
I've seen many threads that describe the same problem (e.g. https://discussions.apple.com/message/23106464#23106464?ac_cid=tw123456%23231064 64) but none of the proposed solutions have worked for me.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
guido

Resolved by a hint i found in yet another thread:

If you don't have access to your old email account, on a web browser, go to the Apple ID website, https://appleid.apple.com and sign in your current iCloud/Apple ID then edit it to your old email address then Save the changes (NO NEED to verify the email address becuase it's impossible). DO NOT sign out yet. Go back to your iOS device with that old email address then delete your iCloud account. Once deleted, go back to the Apple ID website and rename it back to your current email address. You just have to verify and you're good to go. No need to touch the other 2 iOS devices with the correct Apple ID.
Thanks!

How to change iCloud accounts on an iPhone without erasing the data from the cloud?

Long story short I am using my sister's iPhone while mine is being repaired. My data from my iPhone is synced with my own iCloud account. My sister and my dad are on the same iCloud account, except I need to put my data on her phone, except it will not let me change the account on the iPhone without deleting my dad's iCloud account. How can I make this work?

Deleting the iCloud account on your phone only deletes it from your phone, not from iCloud. The account an it's data will not be touched, and your father's phone will not be effected by this. Just go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in using your Account.

How to change the apple ID your iphone was set up with?

Yesterday, I wanted to put all my music (200) songs on my iphone. Yes, there is enough space and everything. but when i pulled it in, it said i had to restore my iphone. So i quickly downloaded all my photos to my laptop and restored it. Then my phone has the IOS 7 "Hello" page and i slid and picked my language and country and then it asked for my apple id and password...
I don't remember either. I gave me a clue. ([email protected]) but i am pretty sure if i had an account at yahoo, i deleted it. (my yahoo answers account is my gmail account) I have tried every combination that i thought it could be for my password and apple id and i have no idea. I have searched my gmail for some answers but no, nothing.
And now all my contacts are lost and i cant use my phone at all.
So, How do I get it so i can change the Apple iD that was set up with my iphone?
PLEASE HELP! I NEED TO SAVE MY PHONEEEEE.

Well, you've got a huge problem on your hand if you can't remember the Apple ID/Password that was originally used to activate this phone. This is called Activation Lock, & there is no way around it, & Apple will not help you. If you can't remember this info, you won't be able to reactivate the phone.

I bought a used iphone can someone tell me how to change the apple id on phone please. Thank You!

I bought a used iphone yesterday and it has a apple id on it and I need to know how to change that apple id over to my id. I do not have the password for the previous owner. Can someone please help me with this? Thank you!

Removing data is all or none, and "forgetting" to do so before selling your phone is no "small thing" - it's like selling your purse with your wallet and credit cards still inside.
So I am afraid you were not very helpful!
Every day there are posts from people with obviosly found or stolen iPhones who mysteriouly "forget" their passcode (or forget to obtian it from the prior owner) and who somehow don't have access to the computer the phone was synced with, looking for help to gain access to the phone. I'm not interested in helping others boost iPhones.

Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change that address (short of creating an entirely new account).
However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.

How to change my appled-id in iCloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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.
