How to switch Apple IDs on a iPhone 5S

I can see in the iCloud section in Setting what the Apple ID is for the phone, but I want to change it. For some reason, it has it greyed out and I can't tap on it. Is there something I'm missing to change the ID?

You have to scroll to the bottom of the Settings>iCloud screen and press on Delete Account. You will be asked for the password for the Apple ID that is signed on. Type in the Apple ID password, then follow the prompts to delete the iCloud account.
Cheers,
GB

    If you mean your iCloud ID, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.

    To the OP, you can ignore Philo124's post.
    No, it Applies if you download content from one then switch to another and download content from the other. Automatically or not.

  • Multiple Apple IDs on one iPhone 5S

    I recently got an Iphone 5s.  I've had several iPODs. and had to disable one of my emails that my Apple ID was linked to. However, that Apple ID has not been used for several years. I didn't manage to find it. However, I'd like to have both my new and old Apple IDs on my iPhone 5S so I can get all my apps, books, music, and stuff on my phone, how is this possible.  Since the old email address that is linked to the old AppleID is disconnected?
    What steps do I take to link my old and new Apple IDs onto my iPhone without disconnecting the other.
    Thanks,
    Tanya

    Sorry you can't merge the apple id Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    You would need to redownload apps to your new apple id.

  • How can 2 apple id's 2 iPhones share a single computer

    how can 2 apple id's 2 iPhones share a single computer?
    My wife has a 4s and I just got a 5.  We have a single iMac with a single iPhoto account.
    I am curcious about how Photo Stream will interact with iPhoto, how iCloud will work, etc.
    What do I have to watch out for?
    Thanks.

    The best thing to do is for each of you to have your own iCloud account. You can still both share an AppleID, which will let you both share iTunes purchases. But with separate iCloud accounts you can keep your contacts, emails, and calendars separate. With ios6 you can create a photo stream to share with each other.
    Here is some good info on the subject

  • Old Apple IDs in New iPhone

    Received my 'new' iPhone 6 from Verizon in the mail yesterday. When I set it up, there were already 2 apple IDs (none of which were mine) in the device. How could there be AppleIDs in the device if this is a new phone?

  • Is there a work around to use two Apple IDs across and iPhone and a MB Pro?

    iPhone 5 and Macbook Pro Retina late 2013.  iOS 8.1 and Yosemite. 
    It's a company iPhone and a personal MBP.  Phone has an Apple ID associated with company credit card and MBP personal Apple ID with personal credit card.
    There is a cross platform issue as you cannot use two Apple IDs in Facetime and Messages.  Therefore my iPhone and MBP do not interoperate correctly, for example, a text message in messages on the iPhone will not appear in Messages on the MBP.  Similar situation for FaceTime.  When you try to enter the second email associated with the second Apple ID on either platform you get "cannot verify because email is already in use".
    Any work arounds?
    This is something Apple should have really anticipated as iPhones become more widespread in corporate use.

    Thank you for your continued interest and research on my behalf on this situation. I was on the phone with Apple support (at no charge) for over an hour yesterday. Becasue I have what they cal a "vintage computer"(7 1/2 years old), there are some additional issues.  We thought it was solved at teh end of the phone call but aparently it was not. I am going to call them now and see what else can be done. I will keep you posted.
    Thanks again.

  • HT5538 can i use one apple ids on different iPhones?

    I have two iphones, one for US use and one for international use. Can I use the same apple IDs on both? can I use the two fhone numbers on iMessage and FaceTime?

    There's no tip that I am aware of. There are two ways to use the same Apple ID on different phones. First, on each phone you can just select or deslect the way that phone receives messages in Settings/Messages. But the better way is to create a new Apple ID and use it just for iMessage. Leave the phones sharing an Apple ID for the stores and content, but in Settings/Messages log out of that ID on one of the phones, and log in with a new Apple ID just for iMessages on that phone.

  • 2 Apple IDs on my iPhone for the AppStore

    The Apple ID within my iPhone's Settings for App Store is different than that Apple ID that is brought up with trying to Update appls.  How do I make them consistent?  I have tried turning the power off.
    This is also happening on my iPad1.  I can't get an old Apple ID to be disassociated from my AppStore despite changing it in Settings.

    Did you change the account info in iTunes/Store menu on your computer as well?

  • How to combine apple Ids

    My family currently has 3 iphones, 2 iPads, and 1 ipod touch.  We have been using them years but would like to combine accounts to make it easier to share things and We all have our own accounts with our own apple ids- what is the best way to do this without losing anything we already have put on them..
    thank you!

    All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and is not transferable. You can't merge all your purchases.
