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")
If you have used your old ID to purchase content from iTunes or the App store, you may want to continue to use this ID for iTunes only to avoid losing your content.

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 a new account by tapping the "create Apple ID" button. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

HT204074 I have a different username on my icloud account on my iphone, how can I change it to my apple ID and log in?

I have a different username on my icloud account on my iphone, how can I change it to my apple ID and log in? It was from when I initially set up the phone but needs updating but doesn't seem possible.

Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then set it up using your Apple ID.

How do I change to my new apple ID in icloud on my iphone?

When I first got my iPhone my now ex-husband did all the set up. He used HIS email address though for the Apple ID and iCloud and had everything synced. I have not backed up my phone in months mainly because I have no storage left in iCloud and I don't want him accessing all my personal stuff since he has all the account passwords.
I've since made myself a NEW apple ID and my new ID is in the iStore. I would now like to change or create a new iCloud associated with MY email address and new apple ID. When I go to settings it's greyed out, and won't let me change the email associated with the account and tells me the user name and password is incorrect (I'm assuming he removed my phone from the iCloud account and only has his iPod on it now).
I'm afraid to delete the account and try logging in with my new info because everywhere I read says my info is backed up in iCloud but I no longer have access to the original iCloud account....
Please help! I have texts that must be backed up for legal purposes!
Thanks

It looks like the article below has the information you are looking for.
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Turn off iCloud completely
Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
Note: If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help).
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud. For more information, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Calendar & reminder data removed from Calendar and Reminders or iCal when disabling iCloud Calendar.
On your Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then click Sign Out.
Note: If you turned on automatic download of music, app, or book purchases (in iTunes preferences or in Settings on your iOS device), your iTunes purchases are still downloaded to your devices.

You cannot without the correct credentials.

How do I change to my new Apple ID on my iPhone 5s?

Here is my issue. I have changed email accounts for a number of reasons. My Apple ID was an old gmail account that I no longer monitor, and it had an unprofessional username and got a lot of spam, so I didn't want to simply use forwarding. I changed it to another gmail I just made. Now, I did this on safari on my phone. In Settings > iCloud it still has the original gmail with the iCloud email (that I think I was forced to make when iCloud was new, otherwise not sure why I have it) that I have. So now there are 3 emails, but the one that's supposed to be gone is still on the phone. Is there a way to change that besides deleting the account and signing back in? It's the same account, just a different username. Also, I don't want my info that is stored in iCloud (contacts, calendars, notes, etc.) to be lost or moved around. I know that deleting the account could make me save the stuff on my iPhone but I don't know where. Please explain what I can do to fix this if you've had experience with this type of problem. Thanks!

Hi AMriser,
If it is the same account with simply a new ID, then deleting the iCloud account will have no effect on the contents of said account.
However, if iCloud is still signed on with the old ID, you are not going to simply be able to Delete the iCloud account. You can try it, but you are likely to run into the Invalid Password error....
If you do, then you need to follow the steps below to get that iCloud account deleted so you can sign back in with your updated ID:
1.     Go into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the old ID (this is temporary - do NOT verify it): Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Go to Settings>iCloud on your device and scroll down to the bottom of the page to Delete the iCloud account. Put in your current Apple ID password. Do not worry about the warning messages. Everything in your iCloud account will still be there when you get done
3.     Go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the new ID (you may need to verify it again)
4.     Go back into Settings>iCloud and sign onto iCloud with your new ID
Give it a few minutes to download your info over Wifi. Once it is done, you should see everything back in place.
Cheers,
GB

I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

Thanks - I guess it is like there were two of me!
I bought the iPhone first and it seemed natural to link it to the (work) e-mail address which was in constant use. The iMac for home use came next and it seemed natural to use my home e-mail address, particularly as I knew by then that I would lose the work address after my imminent retirement. The same logic went for the recent puchase of the MacAir. I am not sure what happened with the iPad (also a recent purchase) - iTunes seemed to puch me towards the same ID as the iPhone.
It is not a huge problem - just makes my persona look schizoid! Otherwise very happy with everything Apple.

Just use the same one on all devices.

Are you trying to change the Apple ID associated with your iCloud account? If so, 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.

I had to change to a new Apple MacBook Pro. I deauthorized my old computer, authorized the new one and less than a quarter of my media shows up in the new computer. Everything that was downloaded from a cd is missing. Any help?

I had to change to a new Apple MacBook Pro. I deauthorized my old computer, authorized the new one and the only media that shows up are items with a cloud. Everything that was downloaded from a cd, including personal movie files, are missing. It's as if my former library is gone. How can I find it again? Or is this just Apples way of screwing with me?

No. Firewire and Ethernet are not the same. Ethernet would be used to connect the computers to your network. A Firewire cable is used to connect the computers directly. They are different ports.
The above shows what an Ethernet port and a Firewire 400 port look like.
These are the plugs used for FW800 on the left and FW400 on the right.

HT204053 how do i change my account name (apple id) in iCloud on my iphone?

how do i change my account name(apple id) in iCloud on my iphone?

Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the changed ID. This will delete the account and any data you sync with iCloud from your phone, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
Save any photo stream photos to your camera roll before deleting the account (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).
