How do I change the default apple ID that's displayed when buying or updating apps? It's currently defaulting to a no-longer-existing ID, and I don't know how to change it.

Any apps you purchased with the no-longer-existing ID will always have to be updated with the password to that account, you cannot merge account purchases.
To change to your new account go to Settings > Store > Apple ID: and put in the one you want to use.

How do i change the old apple id that comes up when i want updates to my new apple id?

I want to update my apps on my iphone but i am not able to because i have an old apple id that keeps coming up. is there a way to remove the old id and replace it with the new apple id. i do not have the password for the previous id and i keep going to apple support but i never get an email to reset password. Help!

That's up to you. Apps are tied to the ID so you will only be able to use apps purchased to a specific ID when logged in as that ID.

When trying to update flashpoint at 50% of installation it says stop ent. exp. & I don't know how.

When I try to update to newest version os 11 Flashpoint at 50% of the installaton it tells to stop Internet Explorer and I don't know how to do it.

You need to close all iexplore.exe instances, even if they are running in the background. Use the Task Manager's Processes tab.

HT5312 I have an existing id and I don't know how to set up a rescue email

How do I set up a rescue email?

If you know the answers to your security questions then the steps half-way down the page that you posted from should work :
Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.
If you don't know the answers then you won't be able to add one until you can answer them, so you will need to get the questions reset first. In which case see if this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

I just bought an iPad air from staples and when I bought it someone's iCloud account was already logged on to it and I don't know how to fix it.

I Need my iPad to start over as a new iPad so I can sync it to my old one. But since somebody else's iCloud account is on here I can't turn off find my iPad to do that.

I concur. You were sold a used/demo model that is essentially useless since it is already associated with an AppleID. Take back for a full refund OR a new sealed-in-box replacement.

When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can use my ID, which is in Mail, Contacts etc. The ID I get, I can't find, so that I can delete it. What to do?

When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can replace it with my ID in Mail, contacts etc. The ID I get without wanting it, I can't find anywhere. I have to delete it. How do I solve this problem, anyone?

My content was obtained through another ID, which popped up earlier. Now this one doesn't pop up, and my current ID doesn't pop up either, but another one. How do you find an ID which is not in the store, and not in Mail, contacts etc. either?
Or is it possible to write the ID yourself when you want to buy something, not only to have it popped up being unable to be changed?

Hi. I tried switching my Apple ID email address to my new email address and I don't know how to switch it for iCloud and iTunes. Please help!! It seems like Apple thinks I have two separate accounts, when I just tried to simply change it!

HT2534 If I change my kids apple id will they still be able to update apps that have already been purchased

If I change my kids apple id will they still be able to update apps that have been previously purchased with a different apple id?

Yes as long as they are signed into that Apple ID. Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them. But it is never a good idea to change an Apple ID. If you get a new email address and change the name that you use for the Apple ID, that's something different, but creating a totally new ID is not advisable.
You will always have to be signing in and out of the two ID's on the iPad and when you sign into another ID and download content with that ID, you lock yourself out of the other ID for 90 days.

Out of a silly curiosity, in what way did Ralph's reply solve your problem? (not that Ralph doesn't deserve recognition, mind you.)

How do I change the default apple ID that's displayed when buying or updating apps? Mine is defaulting to a no-longer-existing ID, and I don't know how to change it.
