Can I change the apple id on new iphone to old apple id?

I just got a new iphone 5s after having a droid for a year. While at the Tmobile store I couldn't remember my apple ID/password so the guy told me just to set up a new one 'for now' and that I would be able to change it later so that I can sync my phone and get all my music from my old itunes account. I can't get my phone to sync with the itunes account on my laptop (but I am not very good at this stuff) Can I either change the apple ID on my phone so that it is my old itunes account or is there a way to get my itunes music from old account onto new phone? Thanks!

Yeah - I believe so. According to the article linked below, having that box checked means that you are, literally, dragging music, and other stuff from your library to your device as opposed to syncing. Not sure I understand the purpose of it. I have always sync'd my device, and I control what syncs by setting up the Profile pages accordingly.
In fact, I sync my devices and my husbands devices to our iTunes library on his Macbook Pro, but we have the Photos option unchecked on all of the device profiles on his Macbook Pro library. We then sync our photos from my Macbook Air, which is where our iPhoto library is housed. On the device profiles on my Mac, all of the boxes except the Photos tab are unchecked. We use the sync process on both, and the way the profiles are set up, it prevents anything from getting accidently un-synced or deleted....
Maybe the Manually Manage option allows you to drag music from multiple libraries without wiping out what you already have on your device....just not sure. But here is the link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
This article indicates that even with the Manually Manage option on, you can selectively set up your profile screens to allow automatic syncing at the same time (just not with the same content).
Hope that makes sense!
Cheers,
GB

Question: How can I change the iCloud ID on my iphone to the one I'm using on my ipad?

How can I change the iCloud ID on my iphone to the one I'm using on my ipad?

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

How can I change the date of birth on my child's Apple ID?

HI,
My son's school have started an initiative where they use iPads as part of their lessons, and subsequently my son has a brand new iPad through the scheme.
The setup guide that the school supplied directed us to enter the parent's date of birth and the student's name to set up an Apple ID. However, since setting his iPad up we have become aware of Family Sharing when we setup our old iPad for his younger brother, and the ability to create an Apple ID for a child. We would obviously like the same level of protection and security for both children, not to mention restricting any accidental purchases!
Is there any way to change his date of birth from mine to his? I have read other similar posts with the best solutions apparently to fudge the date of birth so that the child is older than 13 years old. I would like to do this properly rather than lie about his age...
Thanks in advance

You can not change the date of birth on the account. You are explicitly told this when the account is created.
The ID you created is yours, not your son's. If your son is under 13, then to claim it is your son's ID is to say that you committed a crime when you created it. Create a new account for your son.
Inform the school that if they are instructing parents to do this because the children are under 13, they are potentially criminally liable. They should know better.

I can't change the country for my new credit card. Help please.

I stopped family sharing, but I still receive a message that I belong to a family when I try to change the country for my new credit card. Help please.

Sometimes logging out of iTunes can free up the editing.

HT4759 How can I change the password on my stolen iPhone 5 which shares data with my ipad2

How can I change the password on my stolen iphon5 which shares data with my ipad2

If you had Find My iPhone activated on your iPhone, you can remotely wipe it, which you can do through iCloud on your computer. If you did not have Find My iPhone active on your phone you're out of luck.
You should immediately change all passwords for your Apple ID, email, any apps where you had a password, or any where you have credit cards tied to shopping.

How can I change the security questions on my account without calling Apple support?

Important to note that when I try to change it on the Password and Security page on My Apple ID, it keeps asking me to answer my security questions, which I can't remember the exact answer to.
I've also tried changing my Apple ID password, but then it still asks me to answer the questions before I change them.
Please help, I don't want to waste money by calling Apple Support on the other side of the world

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

How can I change the color of a new window?

Every time I open a new tab the whole screen is pink. How can I change this?

Subclass DefaultTableCellRenderer.
public class MyCellRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer
Override
public Componet getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column)
JLabel lab = new JLabel(String)value);
lab.setOpaque(true);
return lab;
if(isSelected)
lab.setBackground(Color.red);
else
lab.setBackground(Color.white);
Set the columns in your table:
table.getCoulumModel.getColumn(0).setCellRenderer(new myCellRenderer());
table.getCoulumModel.getColumn(1).setCellRenderer(new myCellRenderer());
etc. for each column in your table.
