How to change Apple Id in iMessage

Hey I had the same exact problem as you and I figured it out.

Go on your settings- icloud- sign out (bottom of page)- keep on my iPhone- turn off your find my iPhone

Now go back in to iCloud under settings and log in with the new apple id

I'm having the same problem. I just entered a password 20 times and it just keeps asking with no option to change the ID.

The Apple ID in iTunes and App store is the new one. The Apple ID for iCloud (in settings) is the old one. I can't sign out because it prompts for a password to turn off Find my Phone.

I can access iCloud from my computer with my new one, but the old one fails.

any suggestions?

Thanks

Try what i posted above your comment & it should fix the issue. That solved the issue on my iPad but not on my phone so i just called apple & they had me change my id back to the old one then log out of iMessage. Now you can change your apple id back to the new one and log in to your iMessage with the new one.

Yes, that worked. I changed my Apple ID to the old email address. Logged out of everything on my phone. Changed the Apple ID back to the desired account and logged back into everything on my phone with that one. All sorted. Thank you.

THANK YOU, that worked for me.

That fixed my problem, thank you!

Just go to Settings>Messges>Send & Recieve and sign out, entering the new Apple ID

I solved it by using step 3 in this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223

Go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, sign back in using the correct Apple ID.

You're welcome.

Is this email address already associated with another Apple ID?
