Sep 19, 2013 2:25 AM in response to Lynn Hoffmann Neumannby aramzey,So this topic becomes urgent with iOS 7. After I upgraded to the latest software, it wanted my iCloud ID and password, and it forces my old ID. When I try to delete the old iCloud account, it requires an apple ID password with the old apple ID username. After typing the password, it says wrong username or password. How to switch to the new iCloud ID on iOS 7?

Sep 19, 2013 10:53 AM in response to aramzeyby jimmydot,are you sure that it was not asking the iTunes user/pass with the iCloud user/pass, since they can be different but most have the same.

Sep 20, 2013 5:24 AM in response to aramzeyby aramzey,I fixed the problem, but it won't work for everyone. Anyway, these are 2 steps that can help.
1. My old apple ID username wasn't completely dead, it was just a deactivated inbox. So I changed my apple ID username back to that email address (which iCloud forced to use after the upgrade). Although it said that an activation email is sent to your email, but I succeeded to enter to iCloud without activation. After that I deleted the iCloud account, then again switched to the new apple ID, and then again entered iCloud with my ID and password.
2. Just try to enter to the app Find Friends with your working apple ID and password. It can help.

Sep 25, 2013 9:10 PM in response to Highlordkramby XxubuxX,THANK YOU!!! The person who posted the following instructions finally FIXED my issue where I had an old itunes id (which was an old email I didn't have access to anymore) and that somehow became the email used for my iCloud backup. It was easy to change my apple id to a new address I wanted for purchasing new apps and such BUT the iCloud backup email address was grayed out so I didn't know how to change it. I could reset it's password for some because it said my birthday I was entering was wrong even though it was correct. SO I finally just pulled the trigger and did the following
sign out of your apple id by going to settings, store, then sign out. Then, You go into settings and just delete your icloud account. You do this by going on settings, icloud, and scroll to bottom for delete account. It will tell that it's going to delete documents from your phone that are in icloud (to be honest I don't know the impact of this since I didn't have any "documents") Then you press the button that will let you keep your data inside your phone. Go to settings, store again and sign into it using your NEWER apple id (whichever you use) When you get back into icloud through settings, it should already have the apple id (the one you use/want to use) already done. if not, you can actually type it in now so its all good. then it will ask if it should merge whats on the phone with the icloud account, i clicked yes, MERGE. Now all is golden and I have 1 email account for apple store id as well as icloud backup
