ICloud has wrong apple id. How do I change it?

I have multiple apple id's and iCloud on my Mac somehow assumed the wrong one. I see no option to change it to the correct one.

I discovered that I can sign out of iCloud on the Mac and sign in with my correct apple ID. However, I get a message that this alternate ID is not my primary iCloud account ID (whatever that means) and that I need to first remove it from mail, calendars, etc. How do I do that? Will this affect receiving my mail? I don't know.
The bottom line is I don't understand how all this fits together and I can't find any documentation from Apple that explains it.
Am I missing something? Is there documentation somewhere? Did Apple just throw this out for the world to stumble through?
Thanks.

Icloud shows wrong apple id , how do i change it

icloud shows wron apple id , how do i change it to the correct apple id

To change the iCloud ID on your phone go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the ID you want to use. (This only deletes the account from your phone, not from iCloud.) If you are signing back into the same account with just a renamed ID, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted. Your iCloud data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
If, however, you are changing to a new iCloud account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then choose Merge after signing into the new account and turning on your iCloud syncing to upload your data to the new account.
Before deleting the account, save your photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

Wrong Apple ID: How do I change the Apple ID prompt when Updating All Apps?

How can I change the (wrong) Apple ID from the password prompting dialogue when I am already signed in Apple Store with my own ID?
More details of my problem:
When I try the Apps' Update-All option in my iPod 4, the password dialogue prompts me with my girlfriend's Apple ID; YET, I AM signed in the Apple Store with MY own Apple ID.
I have already verified my ID under Settings/Store. I have also signed out, signing back in with my Apple ID, just in case. No problems there, for I DO sign in with my own ID ok. The problem is just the prompt dialogue for password, when I try to use the 'Update All' feature it prompts me for password with her ID, not mine.
If I go back to Apps and choose the Categories (or Top25) menu, at the bottom of the page, it shows me signed in (my Apple ID). If I try to update one Apps it will do ok. But if I try to Update All it will prompt me for password using her ID, waiting for me to type in HER password. I cannot change the Apple ID on that dialogue (static). If I use my password, it will return the "wrong password" dialogue.
How can I change the prompt for the Update All? What is going on here that I AM signed in but my iPod prompts me with her ID. My iPod is registered under my Apple ID. I have already tried the Hard reset by pressing Home and Power buttons simultaneously, to no avail. I am also using my own network to go Online. I am also with the latest OS in my iPod and my Mac's iTunes.
Thank you!
PS This problem is not occurring in my iPhone 4 (same account) nor my Macs.

Does not work for me. (My iPhone is not jailbroken.)
I downloaded a paid app "Imray Marine Rules and Signals v1.5" in the USA with my original account (Account1) then moved countries and needed to create a new Apple account (Account2). If I get 'Info' for the app, it is registered to Account1.
A new version 1.6 of the Imray app has now been released.
I have set up only Account1 on the iphone (settings - App Store) and both Account1 and Account2 in iTunes on my computer. My iphone always tells me there is 1 app to update. However, when I try to update this app on my iphone, I get asked for the password for Account2, then the download fails as it says I do not have a paid earlier version to update.
When I am logged into my computer iTunes as Account1 and try to update it on the computer iTunes, it says there are no apps to update (although my version of the app is definitely the old version).
When I search for the app in iTune Store, it tells me I have already downloaded version 1.6 of the app and the download button is grayed out.
If I temporarily delete the app from my iTunes then try to re-download, I am asked to purchase it again.
If I log into iTunes as Account2 then try to download it, I am asked to purchase it.
Any ideas? I feel I have tried every option and no success.

IMessage has wrong phone number how do I change it

My iPhone 4S uses the correct # and so did my ipad up until about a month ago. That's when my daughter got her new 5C and it was set up. She's only 10, so they set it up under my appleID, now her phone # is showing up on my Ipad as the number to send messages to. She is receiving all my text and I hers.
How do I change the number back to mine on the ipad?
Thank you

Try this on both you and your daughters iPhones:
1. go to settings>messages>send and receive
2. tap on the Apple ID and sign out
3. turn iMessage off and wait 10 seconds
4. turn iMessage on
5. this should activate iMessage with the iPhones own numbers
6. now only you sign into the Apple ID for iMessage
This should revert back to only your number and email showing as the contact info for iMessage and you both should not receive eachothers messages. Your daughter will still be able to iMessage but only with her number unless she creates another Apple ID just for iMessage.
Note: Only do steps 1-4 for the iPad

The App Store on my iPad2 is using the wrong apple ID-how do I change it?

I can't update any apps on my iPad2 because the store keeps asking for my password on an appleID that is no longer valid. It was my old comcast email, which I cancelled, and even though I've tried signing out of store, and signing back in with the correct appleID...it still asks for the old comcast one! My iPhone 4 app store works just fine though. Anyone have ideas of how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Jessica

Open Appstore app, go to "Highlights", scroll down and select "Log in" (or "Sign on", have only german iOS). Then log in with your current ID.

I Cloud has wrong Apple ID

The iCloud just has wrong Apple ID on my new iPad and I see no option to change it to the correct one. The area for Apple ID is grayed out and I can not change it. How can I fix the issue? It says a verified email to the email address I have logged in but its the wrong email therefore I can not verify or put in a correct password to delete the account.

From Apple. What happen was I reset my phone and the I cloud was deleted when I entered my apple id back in I accidentally entered the wrong ID and sent the email to verify it to add it. I cant change it now at all its greyed out because its waiting for me to go onto the email I entered which is wrong and verify the account

I set iCloud up but I have given the wrong email address how do I change it to the correct one?

I set up iCloud when I got my iPhone 4S but I have just realised I have given the wrong email address how can I change it I put .co.uk and it's .com

Go to appleid.apple.com, click Manage Your Apple ID, sign into your iCloud account (using the wrong email address), it should prompt you to verify it and allow you to edit your email there. If not, then it will bring you to a screen that will show you your name, your email, and any alternate emails you have. Click the edit button next to "Primary Email Address and Apple ID" and change it to your email.

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.

I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

How do I change the apple id for iCloud on my iPhone4?, How do I change the apple id for iCloud on my iPhone4?

How do I change the apple id for iCloud on my iPhone4?, How do I change the apple id for iCloud on my iPhone4?

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.

Settings-->Mail-->iCloud-->Account is the normal method however iCloud mail is not working for several of us. The password incorrect notification pops up usually when the servers are down (God forbid we actually get a "server down" notification.)

Apps and Music are not from iCloud. Are from iTunes and App Store.
You can change this from: Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Sign out and sign in with new ID, but you will have to pay again to download apps that you already have in your old account. Or leave it as it is to share purchases with your son.
