Hello laurascfc
If you changed the Apple ID and did not create a new one, then you will need to change it back to the old Apple ID. Once you change it, then you can sign out of Find My iPhone. After that is done, then change it back.
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5223
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
If you created a new iCloud account and the old account still exists, check out the article below for steps on how to reset that password.

You'll have to access icloud.com on a non-ios device and remove the phone from your account. If only iOS devices are available you would have to download the Find my iPhone App to do this.

I changed my Apple ID and now I can't access iCloud
iCloud is already set on my old Apple ID in my Iphone and I can't delete it. Whenever I add my password it says it's wrong, and when I tried to retrieve my password (of the former Apple ID) it didn't send me an email. I also tried changing my account's Apple ID back to the old one but it says "This email address is not available for use as an Apple ID. You may already have an Apple ID associated with this address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID"
I have only one Apple ID. Can anybody help me?I would go to managing your Apple ID at this website and see if your information is all correct, first ...
https://appleid.apple.com/
You'll see if you can sign in on managing your Apple ID, and then if you can, you can see if your information is all correct, and then ... you should be able to go back and do it, since you've verified your information. -
I have changed my Apple ID and password but I cannot access iTunes which continues to use a previous id for which I do not have a password
Is this on your iPad or computer's iTunes ? If your iPad then tap on your id in Settigns > iTunes & App Store and log out of it and then log back in with the updated version of your account. If your computer's iTunes then you can sign out via the Store > Sign Out menu option and that will then change to Store > Sign In option

i have changed my apple id and password but it hasnt changed on my icloud account and i cant seem to chage it on my iphone. how do i change it from my old email id address to my new one?
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. -

Hello Vaidas Vaidas,
It sounds like you are noticing someone else is accessing your Clash of Clans data by playing the game and you have tried to reset your Apple ID password. If you are following the steps outlined in this article:

I backed up my iphone 4 and did an upgrade and changed my Apple ID and password but my phone has not recognised the new ID to upgrade my apps via the iphone. How do I get rid of the old Apple ID when it comes to upgrading apps.
I have been into setting>store and signed out and signed back in and it still asks for old ID and password.Everything you've had up to now has been tied to your old Apple ID. You cannot switch it over to a new Apple ID. You should contact iTunes support to help you with this:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

I changed my Apple ID and password, but when I attempt to update Apps I am prompted to enter my Password for my OLD Apple ID, and I am unable to override the Old Apple ID. How to proceed ?
Delete everything bought with the old Apple ID and buy it again.
Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID. -

Sir i want to change my apple log in password but forget my security question
Sir i want to change my apple log in password but forget my security question
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I downloaded garage band on my iPad ages ago but now it just says waiting and when I click on it it just says "retry" and does nothing. I've spent literally ages making songs (I've got like 20 ). How can I get it back with all my songs still there?
Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks -
