HT204053 how do i change apple id in iCloud account info on iphone

I've been trying to just USE my iCloud (on my iPhone), but its not allowing me because my Apple ID is not updated. I have already updated my e-mail on the iCloud website as well as on my Mac, but it's not allowing me to change it DIRECTLY on my iPhone. It wont even give me the option to change/ update e-mail info; just my password. I don't want this Feature to be entirely useless. Is there anyone that has this problem? Figured out WAYS to fix it? Thanx guys.

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 > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

HT204053 How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.

How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.

Settings-icloud-scroll to the bottom, select delete, if you want to keep the content select keep, otherwise it'll remove it. Then once it is done add the account information for the account you want on that phone. Your apple ID in settings-store will remain the same and each device can still purchase/use content from that account.

How do I change Apple ID for iCloud account?

I changed Apple ID online because my email address changed. How can I change Apple ID for iCloud?

If you renamed your iCloud ID and need to change it on your device, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

TS3992 I have changed my Apple ID. How do I change it on my icloud account. It just keeps defaulting to the old Apple ID #.

I have changed my Apple Id, how do I change it on my icloud account? It just defaults to the old id.

Did you change the email address of your existing Apple ID, or did you create a totally new Apple ID? Assuming that you did it correctly and just changed the email address on your Apple ID, go to Settings/iCloud and turn off Find my iPhone. You will need the passcode for the OLD email address to do this. Then log out of iCloud on the phone. Log in with the changed address. Do the same for Settings/messages, Settings/Facetime and Settings/iTunes&App Store.

How can I change game centre and iCloud account information from previous owner of my iPad?

How can I change game centre and iCloud account information from previous owner to me?

You can't do it on your own. The previous owner has to erase the device for you. You would need his Apple ID and password in order to delete his iCloud account. This is due to the Activation Lock in iOS 7 - assuming that your iPad is running iOS 7.
Contact the owner and ask home to erase it remotely using iCloud, or return the device and ask for your money back. If you can't contact the pervious owner, you will have a useless iPad on your hands.
Read this for more information. This is what you need the previous owner to do.

How do I change the Email under iCloud Account Information on my iPhone 5?

I set up my Apple ID and iCloud using [email protected]
But a few days ago, in order to sync my Notes or Messages (I don't remember which), my Macbook said I had to create an iCloud.com e-mail address. So I made one. But the problem is that I my [email protected]'s iCloud account now uses the iCloud e-mail address.
When I go to Settings > iCloud > Account ([email protected]) > Mail > Email ([email protected]), to try to change the Email ack to [email protected] the Email option is grayed out... How come I can't use my own Gmail account w/ my Gmail-set-up Apple ID account... I don't even use the iCloud e-mail address so it's completely useless to have it linked to my iCloud account.
I know I could just set up another account through Settings > Mail in order to view my Gmail in the Mail application... but I like to be consistent and have my Gmail email w/ my Gmail Apple ID. ANYWAY TO FIX THIS?????????

I'm trying to delete the iCloud account on new iPhone 5 so I can change the email address to the new email address I use, but iPhone won't let me delete without turning off Find my iPhone for which it asks me for Apple ID password using that old email!!! Argh!

How can I access documents from multiple iCloud accounts on my iPhone?

I have a business and a personal life that are both heavily influenced by my Apple products and all stay in sync via iCloud. My only issue is that in order to access both personal and business iwork documents on the go, I have to carry two iphones with me - which really is inconvenient. Of course I could just use the business iphone but then I would not be able to access my family photo stream which is very important to me.
Any help would be appreciated. I would think that there would be a simple solution to my issue but I need your help finding it.
Thank you!

There has to be a better solution than deleting and switching icloud accounts on my iphone each time I need to look at my work documents...

HT204053 I created a different Apple ID for Icloud on my new IPhone and having problems with getting Itunes,etc. How do I change my Icloud Apple ID to be the same ID and password?

I created a different Apple ID for my Icloud on my new IPhone (said a free email was available or something similar) rather than the other choice offered of using my same existing Apple ID. Now I keep having issues accessing my account and my password isn't working to access Icloud to download Itunes. Can I undo this new account I created and just use my one existing Apple ID? This is my first IPhone and confused with this part of the setup! Thanks.

If you know the answers to your security questions, you should be able to change your password without using email authentication (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HE36). If you don't, you may be out of luck.
