how to change my apple ID on iphone 5

All apps are tied to the Apple ID that obtained them. To update you need to use the same Apple ID.

You can change your e-mail address associated with the Apple ID here:

How to change the Apple ID on my iOS Device

Settings > iTunes & App stores.

Tap your AppleID, sign out then sign back in with new AppleID.

Settings > Messages.

Turn off iMessages the turn it back on with new AppleID.

Settings > iCloud.

Delete the account then turn it back on with new AppleID.

That won't update apps with the old Apple ID.

No, but she can log out of one ID, do what needs to be done, and then log back into the other ID.

Plus, her main question was how to change the Apple ID on the phone.

Let's see what OP is trying to do.

Heh, I kind of went with the topic title and the first line, but I can see where she might be trying to do something else. 😉

Hi, can someone advise how do i change my apple id on my iphone 5.

I cannot do any updates on the app store, as it keeps prompt my old id which i am not using.

By "old AppleID" do you mean you got a new one or you updated the old one?

Go to iCloud>delete account, go to previous page, back into iCloud, change apple id

So... basically what I already said? And the iCloud setting has nothing to do with the App Store/iTunes.

Which sounds like the original AppleID was updated.

That's my guess too, but we'll have to wait for the OP to return and give more specifics.

yes, this works, I had to sign out of my Apple ID on my IPhone and sign back in with my new ID for it to change, thanks for the info.

thank you. That worked for my phone.

This isn't working for me and I think it's because I installed IOS 7 and it has the new secure-r find-my-phone app. It won't let me delete my icloud account unless I enter the password for the apple ID I no longer have!
