How do I change the Apple ID and Password on my iPhone? I put in the wrong email when I first changed the phone from my husbands email & Password to mine. All my other apple devices have a different, but common, email address and password. I want this device to be in communion with my other devices but I am afraid I will do something wrong and create a big problem.

There may be some data loss, but you can minimize it. If syncing photos with iCloud, ensure Optimization is turned off in Settings/Your Name/iCloud/Photos and/or in Photos/Preferences/iCloud. Then make sure full resolution photos are on the device/computer. When signing out of iCloud, if asked whether you want to retain data, choose yes. Messages conversations will be lost if they are addressed to the ID. See the article below for other places that the old ID should be removed.

How to transfer all files from one iCloud account to another
Eric Root,
You are a star! You have helped me with so many things but this topped them all. I have been struggling with this issue for 7 months. The detailed instructions helped me get through all the knitty gritty details that I was never able to discover myself and one of those detailed instructions about changing the iCloud ID brought me to a screen that nailed the root of the problem. My late husband, who was having dialysis, had been taught by his brother to set up and use FaceTime so they could talk to each other face to face. I remembered that one-time event when I saw the pop-up about a conflict using a different account for FaceTime than I was using for iCloud ID, but I hadn't remembered it and wouldn't have thought it important anyway until I saw that pop-up. Don't know if this makes sense. But I am so relieve to finally overcome this problem. Thankyou !
