HT5622 How do I change the Apple ID for iCloud on my phone?

I have changed my Apple ID.  It works on all aspects of my phone except iCloud where I cannot change the Apple ID.  It keeps asking for the password for my old ID and will not allow me to change the ID for iCloud in my phone.  I have logged out using my Apple ID in settings and signed in again. This did not change it in iCloud.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Just tried this myself and it said it would delete all contacts documents stored in icloud. 
This is incorrect.
If you go to Settings > iCloud and delete the account, nothing in iCloud is deleted.

    When you go into iCloud there is an option to delete the account.  The help desk advised me that using this option only deletes it on the phone and not the actual Apple ID.  If you delete it you are given an option to keep content associated with this ID on the phone, which may be a good idea unless you want to completely refresh your phone.
    Once you delete the account, you can then enter a new Apple ID.
    I've just done it and it worked fine, leaving the original Apple ID intact and working on another phone.

  • How do I change the apple ID for icloud on my mac?

    I am trying to change the apple ID associated with icloud on my mac.   My husband had set it up and now I need to change everything to me but it keeps asking for his apple ID & password which I don't have.  I have lost contacts and need to get them from the cloud but am not having any success.

    To change the ID, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.

  • HT5622 How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud?

    I changed my Apple ID email and it changed for everything but iCloud and now I cannot buy more storage because it says wrong password when really it's the wrong email but it will not let me change it.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. 
    If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How do I change the apple Id for iCloud in my iPhone

    Trying to make two IDE match

    If you have not used your second appleID for iCloud before, you can just go to settings and then iCloud, and delete your account there. When prompted, do NOT delete your data from the phone. Then sign in with your second Apple ID, and it will push all your data to the second AppleID and make it an iCloud account.

  • I have a different Apple id on my PowerBook from that on my iMac and iPad. Photo Stream does not connect to my Powerbook. How do I change the Apple id in iCloud on my PowerBook? Will this link all 3 machines to PhotoStream?

    You can't simply change the details.
    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)

  • How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4?

    How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4. I am able to access my iTunes account using my new ID and password on my computer; however, my iphone has a different Apple ID and I do not have cannot access iTunes on this phone. 

    Also, if you have iCloud, you will probably also want to change the iCloud account on the phone to be yours:
    Settings>iCloud - if Account is not yours, go to the bottom and Delete Account. Then sign back on with your iCloud account info.

  • How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone only

    How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone6 only.  I don't want to change my ipad or my husband's iphone6.  Currently all 3 devices have the same gmail account associated with them.  I have created a new & separate apple id and I want that on my phone but I can't figure out how to delete his email from my phone.

    To change iCloud accounts you have to go to Settings>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your other ID to create your new account.  If you want to migrate a copy of the iCloud data to the new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want 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 Image.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, 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 Sign Out, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted.  Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data to your new account.  Once you are on a separate account you can go to iCloud.com and delete your husband's data from your account (and he can do the same with yours).
    Just be aware that the current @icloud.com email address cannot be moved to the new account, nor can the current my photo stream album (which is why you need to save any my photo stream photos you want to keep to your iPhone before signing out of the existing account).

  • How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7?

    How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7? When I updated to iOS7 it kept my old ID on some features and my new one on others. I was able to change my Apple ID on all apps except iCloud. I don't have the original email account I used when setting up my iPhone with the old Apple ID and I have no clue what the password was. It appears I first need to turn off "Find my iPhone" which requires the old Apple ID, then I can delete the iCloud account. I want to use my current Apple ID to be able to use the "Find my iPhone" feature in iOS7. I hope someone can help!!

    That doesn't help. It's an old email that doesn't work anymore. Please read the entire post. iOS7 won't let you delete iCloud unless you have the password for the old/inactive email/Apple ID.
    You never mentioned that you didn't have access to that email.  There are some specific steps you can perform to retrieve the old Apple ID password.

    How do I change the Apple id against a certain telephone number?  I have two iPhones and wish to use a different Apple id for each and confused as to how I do this?

    Create a new Apple ID for the second phone. If you are setting the phones up as new phone enter the ID you want to use on each phone.
    If both phones are already signed in to one Apple ID then use the settings app to change Apple IDs on one phone.
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > tap on the Apple ID > sign out > sign in with alternate Apple ID.
    Note that if you have downloaded apps with the original Apple ID on the phone with the new Apple ID, those apps will still be associated with the old Apple ID and will require the old ID and password in order to update them.
