HT204053 Anyone have issues changing their iCloud account on their ipad?

I read how to change the iCloud account on the iPad but when I go to do it' it only lets me select the password and iPad name. When we got this iPad it was put under my husband's iTunes and iCloud account. Now I have my own iPhone with an iCloud and he has his own iPad and I would like to associate my iPad with my phone's iCloud but keep his iTunes account since that is where we purchase everything. So can anyone help?
Thanks!

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")

I want to change my iCloud account. Buying iPad we gave a virtual (forwarding) email addr. We need to change to a real address. But when we try to change the iCloud account, we can only change the password. Note: we don't have Mac, only iPad and Windows.

How do I change an iCloud account on an iPad?

My iPhone and iPad use 2 distinct iCloud accounts, as a by product of the mobile me exit. Now I want to sync these 2 devices, so they need to use the same iCloud account. When I start to change the iPad account, I receive a dire warning that all data in iCloud and the iPad will be lost if I proceed.
Is the warning untrue, or am I misreading it, or am i going about this incorrectly? How should one change the iCloud account on an iPad to another existing iCloud account? Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

It does delete it from you iPad but not from the iCloud account. If you want to migrate the data to a different iCloud account first go to Settings>iCloud on your iPad and turn all synced data to Off, when prompted choose to keep the data on your iPad. When everything is turned off you can scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Then set up the other iCloud account on your iPad and turn syncing back on for contacts, calendars, etc. When prompted choose merge to upload the data and merge it with any data on this account.

How do I change my icloud account on my ipad?

I need to change my icloud account on my ipad without losing any data or photos. How do I do this? At present my ipad is backed up to my ex partners icloud account, can he access my ipad remotely?

Only speaking of backup and not information that you sync/stream to his icloud.
Depending on maliciousness of his intent and determination he/she can know nothing or everything. By everything I mean that he/she can restore his/her ipad from your backup.
In one hour of time he/she would have access to device that would be exact mirror of what you had in your hands at time of backup. With some luck he would know as much as you do looking at your ipad right now. If you using icloud keychain he/she would have access to your credit card numbers.
Not speaking about backup anymore.
If he/she wants your device can be wiped at any time, as long as he/she is still signed in. He can also enable lost mode on icloud website and then even if you have paperwork that ipad belongs to you, nobody can help you to use ipad. (that is if you use ios 7). Good luck.

You can only have one primary account, you can add secondary accounts via settings > mail, contacts and calendars.
Secondary accounts don't have all the features of primary accounts, such as Photostream.

HT204053 how can i change my icloud account

My phone synced with my husband's when we updated to IOS because we used the same Apple ID. Now, I don't want all of my pics going to his phone. I have changed my Apple ID, but I havent found a way to change the iCloud account.

If you only renamed your iCloud ID, all you have to do is go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated ID. (Note: this will only delete the account and any synced data from your phone, not from iCloud. As long as you are signing back into the same account your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.) Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them. To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you created a new ID, you'll need to delete the account, create a new account with the new ID and migrate your data to the new account. To do this, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.

I want to change the iCloud account on my iPad from mine to my wife's

BUT I get a message saying that if I delete my account it will remove all data from iCloud! Which is not what I want as I want to continue to use my iCloud on my iPhone and remotely.
There is no option in settings for changing the iCloud account, so it looks like you need to delete the one you have in there and set up a new one .

My problem is that when I try to delete (and change) my iCloud account on my iPhone, it wants to delete all the data from my iPhone, which is something I don't want.

Having problems changing my icloud account on my ipad

Due to changing my primary e:mail i've recently changed my AppleID.
Now on my ipad i'm trying to change my iCloud account to the new one but when i try to delete the old account i get into an endless loop when it asks for my password (to the old account) to allow "find my iPad" to be turned off.
Any suggestions on how to proceed?

HT204053 How do I change my iCloud account to my new apple ID?

I previously used my moms apple ID and had iCloud set up under her apple ID. I just got a new Mac and am setting up everything under my own apple ID. My iPhone and iPad are linked under the previous ID and I don't knwo how to change the account under iCloud. When it says DELETE ACCOUNT, does it just delete it from my device or does it deleteit for good?

If you want to change your iCloud ID to another existing ID you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. Deleting the account only deletes if from the device, not from iCloud. Any other devices still using the account will not be effected by this.
Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them. To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPhone [iPad}. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.

I have just changed my iCloud account and am now having serious problems with Calendar on my Macbook Pro. Any ideas?

I decided to start using iCloud etc but discovered that my Apple ID doesn't actually exist (I was literally told this over the phone my an Apple Support worker) which is weird, as my email address for this Apple ID still exists. This is the first time I'd had any problems of this sort as I'd never had to use my Apple ID before. So anyway, I signed out of iCloud (i.e. signed out of my non-existant account) and signed in with my other, working, iCloud account which I've had absolutely no problems with whatsoever. All well and good.
Before signing out of/deleting my old iCloud account I moved all my events in Calendar from "iCloud" to "On My Mac" so that I wouldn't lose the information when switching to my new account. No problems with this. However now that I am signed in on my new account, every time I open Calendar I receive the following two error messages:
"Couldn't move your calendars to iCloud because an error occurred.
Make sure you're connected to the Internet, and then try again."
"The server responded with an error.
Access to account "iCloud" is not permitted.
The server responded:
"403"
to operation
CalDAVMigrateToServerQueueableOperation."
Note that with regards to the first one I am definitely connected to the internet. I have tried restarting my Macbook, have tried enabling/disabling Calendar in iCloud, nothing has worked. I always get these error messages. I have two options, "Try Again Now" or "Try Again Later", for the first message and "Try Again" or "OK" for the second. Pressing anything just results in the error messages just coming up again in a cyclic manner, after briefly trying to "Move calendars to server account". Sometimes a pop up also appears where it says "Upgrading calendars" with a progress bar but this freezes/never goes anywhere, and regardless of the outcome, I cannot access my information in Calendar. Note that behind these error messages etc I can see my events in Calendar but I cannot access the detailed information contained within them nor can I add any new information or essentially do anything in Calender. Sometimes Calendar crashes and I get a crash report.
Sorry for this dense block of information but I have no idea what's going on so I'm just trying to give a clear account of the problems I'm facing. I really hope someone will be able to help me with this and I thank you in advance.
Sam

Don't worry I've sorted it! I just had to turn off Reminders as well in iCloud. Calendar then worked fine, even when I turned Calendar and Reminders back on.

How can I change the iCloud account that my iPad backs up to? I now have two iPads. I want the older to go to a new account and the new one to sync to the original account.

iPad sync to the iCloud account

You have to create a new Apple ID for the new iPad. But you really don't want to do that because them you will have to purchase all of your content again because paid content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it originally. You will not be able to download all of your previously purchased content for free.
You can backup multiple iDevices to one iCloud account, I backup my iPod and iPad to one iCloud account. You can always purchase more storage space if you need it. IMO - if you still have a computer - use iTunes. You are only limited by the capacity left on your hard drive when you backup. No need to keep paying for more iCloud storage - again, just my opinion.

HT204053 how can I change my icloud account on a my sons device

how can I set up an icloud account for my son and use that on his ipad, it is currently set up using my icloud account

You can migrate his iPad to a separate iCloud account. (You can do this and still continue to share the same ID for iTunes; the IDs don't need to be the same.)
To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iPad and provide the password to turn off Find My iPad. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your accounts.
