Your Apple ID is required to log in to iCloud, yes? I think you are rquired to re-sign in when performing an iCloud feature?

I created a new Apple ID for iCloud on my iPhone, but I can't seem to find a way to "sign out" or "log out" of that Apple ID (for iCloud) to sign in with another Apple ID. The only account login I could change was the Store. How do I "log out"

How do I "log out" or "sign out" of iCloud on my iPhone? There is an option to delete the account, but I just want to log off. I want to keep the account name for future use.

It looks like the article below has the information you are looking for.

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.

HT204053 I set up one apple id for icloud on my iphone and another apple id for ipad. I cannot use icloud to automatically sync the two.

How can I delete the incorrect apple id?

HT204053 What is best way to use a corp apple ID for icloud and let users use their Apple ID in itunes store?

What is the best setup for us to maintain ownership of our corp issued iPhones and iPads yet allow users their personal apps from their iTunes accounts? I have gone out and created a corp apple ID that we are using in the iCloud setup on all our corp owned devices. This keeps the end user from using their apple ID in iCloud and hence when employee's are unexpectedly discharged we still maintain ownership and don't have to ask them for their Apple ID & password when resetting the devices. It also does not allow them to do backups to the cloud or locally either way. We are very careful to turn EVERY thing off inside the iCloud set up area. Even turning off iMessage and share my location. We do keep the find my iphone or ipad on however. So how can I lock these settings to keep users from changing them? Or is there a better way to manage corp devices without having to buy into anything to manage them, we are a non profit.

iPhone in Business and Education
That would be the proper thread to post, cause obviously just cause you setup the way above it will not stop users from turning off or on iCloud features like contact and then problems with entering incorrect passwords. You can also try restrictions to account changes, but that is not guaranteed to work either.
Guys on that thread may be able to point to different professional solutions, but those are unlikely to be free.

I changed my apple id but the apple id for icloud did not change on my mac. How do I get icloud account information to change and match my new apple id?

I changed my apple id but the applie id for icloud did not change on my mac in system preferences.
I have changed my apple id on system preferences under users and groups but the icloud preferences don't pick up the change.
I restarted my computer, and still no change.
I have been using icloud under my old apple id for mail calendars and notes.
How do I get icloud account information to change on my mac's system preferences and match my new apple id?
I am missing something.
Please help. Thanks.

Thank you Roger, your solution gave me the courage to sign out of Systems Preferences. The pop up told me it was going to delete my contact and other information from my mac, so I was hesitant to do that. Well I did as you directed and I was able to sign in with my new apple id and I did not lose the information the pop up threatened I was going to. So again thank you. It is the little things that make a big difference sometimes.

I use the company's iPad at work that has a different apple id for iCloud than my own personal iPad at home. How can I change the company's iCloud id to synchronize with my own one?

I use an iPad 2 at work that has a different apple id for iCloud than my own personal new iPad. How can I change the company's id for iCloud to synchronize with my own personal iPad?

Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID listed and sign out and sign in with other ID
You also may want to go to other places like:
- Settings>iCloud
- Settinge>FaceTime
- Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and change the ID
It may be best to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings and start over again and set up the iPod again with his account/ID

Transfer old Apple ID purchase info to New Apple ID for iCloud purposes

Transfer old Apple ID purchase info to New Apple ID for iCloud purposes
I currently have an apple ID that i have used for many years of ABC. This will hold all the apps and songs etc that i have purchased over the years. So i can currently download apps from app store using the new "purchased option" from the "Cloud".
I have just set up and wish to make a new account my main account for iCloud and all purchases. This is XYZ . How do i get all the purchase history and account actions from ABC apple id, to map across to the new XYZ apple id.
My objective is to log into my iphone on itunes, app store and icloud using the new XYZ apple id, but still be able to view and download any and all previous purchases held against the ABC apple id.
Can I/Apple port this account over so all history of purchases on ABC apple id, is now held against the new XYZ apple id.
Thanks

RE all those that say it cannot be done or why do i want to or need to...
When my phone (on iOS 5) had the old/main apple ID logged in and used, the iCloud page where you can enable iCloud for apps, mail, notes etc - it would not allow me to turn on mail or notes for iCloud. Said i needed to create an iCloud/Mobileme address to use these features.
When i created new mobile/iCloud account today it worked fine for all iCloud options on my iPhone. Also, the emailed address for mobileme/icloud was more to my needs/liking.
The new mobileme/icloud ID created today cannot have my main email address added to it as it says my current/main apple id is that email address.
Any suggestions?

Same Apple ID for Itunes but different for Icloud?

Hi! Currently a Mac user with Android Phones and Google/Gmail accounts, contacts, cal, etc.
If the new Iphone and ICloud Drive fulfill expectations, my partner and I will be switching to the iphone and I will probably add an ipad to the mix as well.
I was originally planning to have us both share apple ID and backup to itunes v. cloud. But now I am rethinking that. My question is: Can we share the same apple ID for itunes and have separate cloud ID's? How does that work? And how do you set it up?
I know our current icloud ID is the same as our Apple ID which doesn't make sense if you can keep them separate?
Thanks for helping a newbie!

If you are asking can you have an Apple ID and an iCloud account then the answer is, yes. With iCloud it will sync all your devices and computers. I'm not going to get into discussing rumours as that's frowned upon. Here's what Apple has published about iCloud Drive: https://www.apple.com/ca/ios/ios8/icloud-drive/

HT204161 Wrong Apple ID for iCloud on my iPhone. How do I change it?

When I set up my replacement iphone, I entered the wrong Apple ID for iCloud. How do I change it?

You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials. This deletes the account and your synced data from your phone, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.

HT4436 I m unable to create an apple id for iCloud as its showing that the limit for creating a free id has been exceeded

I m unable to create an apple id for iCloud as its showing that the limit for creating a free id is no longer available on your device

Yes. On the other iPhone go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. This will delete the account from the phone but not from iCloud. Any data being synced with iCloud on this phone will be deleted from it when you delete the account, but will sync back with you sign back in later.
After deleting the account, set up a new one with a different Apple ID. Then delete this account from the phone and sign back into the original account to sync the iCloud data back to this phone. You can then go to the other phone (the one that doesn't have any remaining accounts on it) and sign into the new account you just created on your other phone using the ID you used to create it.

HT5624 I want to have single Apple ID for icloud. I use only apple phone,ipad

I want to have single Apple ID and icloud account for iPhone and ipadmini and iPad air.

Welcome to the Apple community Uday96.
You don't actually say an awful lot about your current setup, but I'm assuming that you have different Apple ID for iCloud on each of your devices. In which case decide which Apple ID you wish to use on all of them and then delete the others from the other devices.
(Settings > iCloud, scroll down and tap Delete Account)
You can then use the details from the Apple ID that you wish to use and enter them into the iCloud account of the devices you have deleted the other accounts from.

How do I stop the message "user name or password for iCloud is incorrect" from popping up 2 times in a row when i try to get mail from other accounts? thank you in advance

How do I stop the message "Cannot get mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect" from popping up 2-4 times consecutively every time I choose MAIL on my iPhone 4, 7.1.1 I have to select "OK" 2-4 times each time before I can read other email accounts. I used to have an "@me.com" account which I think was automatically changed to an "@icloud.com account." I opened a new iCloud.com account yesterday because I could not figure out how to get in the old ones. I want to delete the original @me & original iCloud account. When I try to delete the account, they tell me my DOB is wrong. I just want those pop ups to stop. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Suzanne,
It sounds like you’re running into a password issue with an older Apple ID that’s setup on your iPhone, which is preventing you from removing an iCloud account from your device. Take a look at the article linked below, it outlines all of the possible ways to change an Apple ID password.
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
After you enter your Apple ID, there are three ways you can change your password:
Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
So long,
-Jason
