my daughter has my apple id information, but now has her own apple id. How do I change the apple id info on her devices? I cannot seem to edit them!

If you want to reset the device and have a clean start, before changing the ID, do the steps in the article below.


Selling/Giving Away Device.      


Or if you want to keep the data, when changing to the new ID, there may be some data loss, but you can minimize it. If syncing photos with iCloud, ensure Optimization is turned off in Settings/Your Name/iCloud/Photos and/or in Photos/Preferences/iCloud. Then make sure full resolution photos are on the device/computer. When signing out of iCloud, if asked whether you want to retain data, choose yes. Messages conversations will be lost if they are addressed to the ID. See the article below for other places that the old ID should be removed. See Winston Churchill's response in the below discussion. If possible, also set up Family Sharing  between the IDs to keep access to your apps/purchases.
