Change Apple ID. I changed my Apple ID email to a new one but iCloud continues to prompt me for a password with my old email address. How do I change that? It won't let me even delete or access iCloud without a password for the old Apple ID.

When I got the iPhone about 4 weeks ago, I used an email for the apple ID and set it all up. Then I changed my Apple ID but now iCloud constantly prompts me with my old apple ID. How do I change this? I cannot make any changes to all the things I downloaded with the old Apple ID. I just updated my software to iOS7. I'm not sure if that changes anything (I am very new to the iPhone)

iPhone 5, iOS 7

Ah, I had this the other week when I changed my Apple password.

Go to Settings ... iCloud ...scroll to bottom , Delete Account (this doesnt actually delete anything, it just removes the old details from your phone)

Then enter the new email and password.

That doesn't work in iOS 7 if you don't have the password.I'm in the same boat.

I had this problem for a while but i finally found a way that worked for me.

My old icloud account asked me for the password that i didnt have. And my old email was not registered as a valid appleid.

So i created a new apple id with my old email and a new password. Signed in no problems and then i could finally delete the old icloud account and sign in with my real one.

Hope this works for you
