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")

  • HT201559 How can I change an i cloud account on a phone?

    We just upgraded three phones to iPhones 5c's. My husband did not have an iPhone previously so I logged in to his new phone with my iCloud account and now I wand to set him up with his own so how do I change it?

    If you bother to read the document I have linked above you will find specific instructions ,which is why I provided the link!
    and yes it will wipe the iPhone clean .Back it up first despite having the same Apple id it should be named something different to the other iPhones
    as in Bob'5c verses yours which hopefully is something different

  • HT1349 I have an i-pad and have just got an i-phone but want 2 use a different I cloud? I've set up new email account and apple ID, but I can't change the I-cloud settings, can u help PLS??

    I have an i-pad and have just got an i-phone but want 2 use a different I cloud? I've set up new email account and apple ID, but I can't change the I-cloud settings, can u help PLS??

    The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

  • I set up a cloud account on a I phone 4, and then gave it to my wife, I would like to change it to her own account. Is there a way to change the user I d and passwork on a I phone 4

    I set up a cloud account on a I phone 4, and then gave it to my wife.  I need to change the I cloud User Id, and passwork to make it her account.
    I can not find a way to do that on the I phone 4.  I go to settings, I cloud, and it shows my account ID.   there appears to be no way to change it
    to another account I d for that phone.  I have now got a I phone 5.
    Could use some advice if possible.

  • Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account?

    Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account? My family shares one I tunes account but it would be nice to be able to have a different I cloud for family member. Is there a way to do this. Because the I cloud part on the setting on the phone and I pad are greyed out on the phones so you can't change the user.

    If they are greyed out then usually this means that the account is not validated on that device.  The Delete Account button at the bottom should still work and allow you to remove the current account form the iCloud Section of Settings.
    To answer your question, yes.  There are four places you can use an Apple ID on an iOS device:
    Settings > iCloud
    Settings > Messages
    Settings > FaceTime
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores
    The iTunes & App Stores is the only one you want to use a shared (family) Apple ID account.  The other three you will want a unique Apple ID for that person to prevent info merging or messages getting shared, etc.

  • Mail -- How can I change the default email account from which my messages go, without having to change it each time I draft a message?  It currently assumes an email account that I rarely use. Thanks.

  • My mum set up an iCloud account and forgot the password, and this caused me to create a new account. The new account works for the App Store and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account without the password. Help?

    My mum set up an iCloud account for my iPhone 4 but forgot the password. This caused me to create a new account, and it can be used for the App Store and iTunes and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account (the one my mum made). My device keeps prompting me for the password every few minutes after updating to iOS 8, and I've tried every option possible to retrieve the password, but I don't even know the answers to the security questions and I can't find the password reset email anywhere and I don't know the back up emails my mum used. I literally cannot find any legitimate way to sign out of the initial iCloud account without entering a password (which neither I nor my parents know). Is there a way for me to retreive the password or change to my new account without the password?

  • How can I change from a free account to a paid account?

    How can I change from a free account to a paid account?

    Tom gave you the answer to your question. 
    if you want a Paid book account, follow the process outlined in the link supplied.
    Apple iBooks store set out these requirements and they do not deviate from them for Individuals.
    You need a new email address for a new account. You need an EIN USA tax file number if you are not a US citizen or US resident. You need to submit bank and credit card details...these can be the same as your iTunes account.
    However much you find the requirements difficult, Apple do not make exceptions.
