    Hi luvtoshop724,

     

    Welcome to the Support Communities!

     

    The answer depends on whether or not you are using the same Apple ID for your iTunes Store purchases and iCloud.  See the article below for more information:

     

    Using your Apple ID for Apple services

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895

     

    If you are using one Apple ID, and you edit the information or password, you would need to update the iCloud and iTunes Store settings on your computer and iOS devices.

     

    Cheers,

    If you changed the Apple ID you are using for iCloud, you will need to change this on your iPad.  To do this, first save any photo stream photos you may have to your camera roll (unless they're already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your changed ID.  (This only deletes the account from your iPad, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account your iCloud data will reappear when you sign back in.)

     

    Changing the name of your iCloud ID does not change your iCloud email address.  You shouldn't need to change anything related to your email account in settings.
