How do I change my iCloud account on my iPhone

not exactly your problem, but i had a similar issue after i updated my iphone contact info, my phone was synced using the old info and i was unable to acccess my info using icloud from my phone. I just had to sign out of the old icloud account and then sign in again using my new username and password.

Just got my iphone 5s today. I changed my apple id email earlier. The new email shows up on my app store and everywhere else but the icloud. I can not delete the icloud account and add another because it says to turn off find my iphone and needs the password, but it has the wrong email connected for thee password and I can not change that. I have already tried all the things in this thread but it has not worked. Please help

How to Fix iCloud ????????????😟😟😢😢 help me 😮😮😍😍

I would like to ask if deleting the icloud account on my i phone would delete the datas of other iphone that uses the same account? Thank you

Hey!

So I had an issue with this and after spending hours trying all the different ways of getting around it (trying to change to old Apple ID, resetting Facetime and iMessage, etc.) the thing that worked for me was a software update. Basically I updated to the newer version of iOS 7.0.4 and chose to skip the prompts to sign into the old (unusable) iCloud account. I then once again attempted to delete the old account in iCloud settings and it signed out (without needing a password) and allowed me to set up my regular Apple ID account. I don't know if it'll do that for you but if nothing else works, a software update might help.

Hi Ada,

No, deleting the iCloud account from your phone only deletes the connection on your phone to your iCloud account. It has no effect on the iCloud account itself.

What do you need "fixed" exactly? If you want help, you are going to have to be more specific than that.

I can not upgrade to ios 7.0.4 because I do not have enough storage.

Now I just added the 10GB to my icloud account.

Where do I go from here? I do not know anything about the icloud.

Thank you

Hi Sula,

I know this is an old post but I can't seems to find an answer anywhere. I couldn't remember the password/questionaire to my old ID and created an new ID, now I keep getting a repeating request on my IPhone for the password to the old ID. What do I do? Please help.

it is not letting me delete my sisters account and add mine in without deleting her entire iCloud, which she uses with her new phone. I just want my info into this phone so she stops getting alerts and things.

Created new Apple ID because I can't remember the password at all. How do I remove the old Apple ID? iCloud keeps asking for a password to the old ID every few seconds and it's getting very annoying. Thanks in advance for your help everyone.

this same thing happened to me. Icloud keeps asking for a password to the old ID every few seconds and it's getting absolutley annoying. Did you get any help with this. I need to get this solved quick. It just doesn't allow me to delete the old account.

Help. I also tried the update and it didn't work for me.

Hi oasisblossom,

You need to delete the iCloud account, but in order to do so, you will have to follow these instructions:

1. Log onto Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the ID that is showing on your iCloud account (this is temporary, so do not verify it - just click Done when you have changed it)

2. Go to Settings>iCloud on your device and scroll to the bottom to delete the iCloud account. Type in your current password when asked, then answer the prompts until the deletion is complete (the account is only being deleted from your phone, so when you sign iCloud back on, all of your info will re-sync to the device)

3. Go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to your current Apple ID

4. Go back into Settings>iCloud and sign into iCloud with your current Apple ID

You should be all set.

So I have a similar problem where my dad got a new iPhone and he gave his old one to me to use as an iPod ect. It still has all if his photos ect. But I managed to change his email to mine but that's about it I just fixed it up and I really want to take pictures, notes, and get new music with out it going on his iPhone. I changed apple ID on lots of things but the 'delete account' button on the iCloud section scares me. If I hit that and it deletes everything on his or just screws his iPhone up I do not want to be at fault. If I hit that button will it allow me to change his iCloud account instead of actually deleting it?? Thanks!

You can delete it. It only deletes the iCloud data on that account from the device you are doing the Delete on. The iCloud account is still alive and well, and it will still share data with any other device signed onto it.

This is what will be removed from your device when you delete the iCloud account:

Notes on that iCloud account

Photo Stream Photos

Contacts on that iCloud account (which you can choose to keep on the phone during the delete process)

Calendar items from that iCloud account

All of these items will display as informational messages as the delete is taking place, with the exception of the Contacts, which you have the option to retain on the device.

Delete your Dad's iCloud account from your device by using his Apple ID and password to do the Delete. Then sign onto iCloud with your own Apple ID and turn on all of the functions you want to have sync'd with iCloud.

Post back if you have any questions!
