HT204053 how can i change i cloud accounts
My wife has been using my icloud account on her phone and Ipad, but have just purchased her a new macbook air and want to set up her own Icloud account.
How do I do this without losing all the information on her phone and Ipad?
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")
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.

Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support. -
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. -
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. -
HT204053 How can I change having multiple accounts?
I opened my first I tunes account with my maiden name and email. Since then I thought I had changed my account to my married name and different email. Now to access iCloud it is asking for my old name and password. So I changed the password but is not connecting right. What should I do?
Try to delete your account from your device (Settings > iCloud) and then to add it back again. This should fix the problem.

How can I change my Icloud account on my ipad to the one I use on my iphone?
For example on my iphone I log in with a yahoo account. My ipod was originally set up with another e-mail account (which I can't remember the password). I want to use the yahoo e-mail and the password associated with it to log on to both devices.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. -

You have to change it using iTunes on your computer, as explained here: Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support. (This article: iCloud: View or change your iCloud payment information no longer works with iOS 8 or Yosemite.)
