How to change apple id in iCloud on iPhone

Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're running iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.

I figured out how to do that but i cannot figure out my old password to get it to delete so therefor i am stuck. I tried to reset the password but the id is not even on the account for them to send an email to reset it to. what do i do?

If the old ID is your ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I'm having the same issue.

When I go to change my email address to the old email address in iCloud on my computer it wont allow me to save it as its "Already verified by another Apple ID".

Any additional suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

That indicates that the old email address is linked to a different ID. This solution only works if the old address was previously linked to your current ID, not to a different ID. If that's the case, you'll have to reset the password for the old ID if you don't remember it. If you can't, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

I no longer have the old email address and deleted it from icloud. I cant change the user id iphone IOS 7.
