Need to change icloud account - wrong acct on iPhone 4S

On my new iPhone 4S, my APPLE account id & password were used to setup my iCloud account (thank you Sprint Store!). All of my information was in my MobileMe account which is now the ID & Password that must be on the iPhone to access that information. I see no way to change the iCloud ID & Password on the iPhone. HELP!
Thank you.

Check your contacts on icloud.com. If your contacts are gone from icloud.com all you can do is restore them from a backup, if you have one.
If you backed up either of the other devices to iCloud while the contacts were still on them, you may be able to recover them by restoring that device to its last backup. Follow the steps in this user tip to do this: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

HT3965 how do i change the iCloud account information on my iPhone?

How do i change the iCloud Account information for an iphone. I set up my wifes iPhone and my phone with the same iCloud Account name name. Later, i added another phone on my ATT account for my mother, but made an Apple iCloud Account in her name. Now, to use the find my iphone feature, i need to change her iCloud account user name to be the same as mine. How do I change that?

You dont need to change the iCloud account to use that feature, when you use find my iPhone all you would need to do is sign into her iCloud account to locate her iPhone.
If you want to change the account used on the iPhone for iCloud then go to settings>icloud and select the option at th bottom that says "delete account" then select "keep on my iphone". After that you then sign in with your iCloud account.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
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")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another 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.
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)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

Yes you can continue to use the former ID for the iTunes Store.
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You need to delete the account and add it back using the other account info. If you delete the account, the information in iCloud will be removed from your device but not from iCloud.

To change to iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID then sign in with the new ID. If you don't know the password for the old ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, 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 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.

HT204053 I need 2 separate iCloud accounts for my kids on my device

I need to create iCloud accounts for my kids. 2 of them to be exact so that we can transfer all their games on our iPad to iCloud accounts and free up space. So far all I figured out was that I needed them to have their own apple Ida's, which they now do. I can't figure out how to get access to creat the iCloud accounts for them.

An iOS device is designed to be used by one user only - unlike a computer where multiple accounts can be set up. The device can only have one icloud account defined at a time. Are you trying to use one device with multiple users? Otherwise I'm not understanding your question.

You need to download the free Find my iPhone application from the App Store.

I got iphone 5s but i cant use it because he need the old icloud account what should i do?

i got iphone 5s already reset i open it then he need the old icloud account what should i do?
can anyone help me to my problem?

If the previous owner's Apple ID and password are on the phone and Settings > iCloud > Find My Phone is turned on, you must get the previous owner's Apple ID and password, get the previous owner to remove the iPhone from his iCloud > Find My Phone devices list, or get your money back. You never be able to use that iPhone as that is the Activation Lock, an anti-theft protection system.

After changing my e-mail address, two iCloud accounts were created, my iphone is unusable due to password requests every few seconds and my account has been blocked. What can I do?

So, you are saying that you set up a brand new Apple ID and then signed into iCloud with it, correct?
Are you also saying both accounts are disabled for Security reasons? If not, why can't you sign on with the one that is not disabled?
