IPad startup asks for apple id that is an email

iPad startup asks for apple id that is an email but my existing apple id is not an email address.  When I try to change my existing apple id to my email, the system won't change it so I'm stuck.  I can't complete the iPad startup without entering my apple id but I can't change it to an email address like the iPad expects.  Any suggestions?

To be honest i'm not sure but i think the apple id is always an email address and you can't use anything else try putting @me.com after the apple id you have

  • Keeps asking for apple Id that is not mine

    I reset my iPad and now it keeps asking for apple ida that are not mine.  How can i get it to stop?

    Does that id show on the right-hand side of Settings > Store or does yours show ? If the wrong one shows then logout of it by tapping on it and then log in with your .
    Do you recognise the id that is being shown - is it one that you've previously used (in which case any apps that you bought/downloaded with it can only be re-downloaded or updated via it) or is it a friend's id ( have you ever connected to somebody else's computer/iTunes)

  • IPad continuously asking for Apple iD

    iPad continuously asks for apple iD password even when entered correctly

    Try typing password really slow make sure there are a capital letter and a number somewhere in your password
    If that doesn't work try changing your password to something easier.

  • IPad continuously asking for apple id password

    My iPad is asking me for my apple id password.  I enter my newly changed password and it still says that my password is wrong.  I can't use any part of my iPad unless I have this password correct.

    Once your update etc. is completed you can sign out of iCloud on your iPad using the Settings app.
    Settings > iCloud > sign out
    Then sign back in with you new password.

  • OSX updates, but one of the updates (iPhoto 9.4.3) asks for Apple ID that no longer exist?

    Like topic.
    OSX announced that there was available software updates, I started App Store and selected "Update all". OSX carried out the OSX update aswell as a few other updates, but left the iPhoto update.
    When I manually try to update iPhoto, App Store give me the message "There is updates available for other accounts. Log in with [email protected] if you wish to update the program" (translated from swedish, so it might not be a 100% accurate to the english text).
    The Apple ID that's on display is a Apple ID that used to belong to one of my former employees. The Apple ID is no more, it's deleted and the mailadress (not a me.com adress) that is the actual Apple ID is also deleted and not existing.
    Furthermore, the update has greyed out the Apple ID, it's not possible for me to choose another for this particular update which seems very weird, any ideas?
    Oh, if it's to any assistance I'm on a 2012 MB Pro, 2,6 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, OSX 10.8.3
    Best Regards / E

    Apple IDs can't be deleted. If an application's associated with an inaccessible Apple ID, it needs to be deleted and redownloaded from a different one.

  • I'm being asked for apple id password to an email address I have not created or linked to my account...

    When I try to download apps or update apps on my iphone I'm being asked for a password to an apple id (email address) that I have not created or linked to my account. I've tried re-setting my apple id - but same message keeps appearing - so can not access itunes app store or update apps I've already downloaded.
    Has any one else experienced this? Or any ideas how to remove this email address?

    You cannot merge accounts.
    You need to sign into the old account on your computer.

  • Every time I open my iPad it asks for my Apple ID?

    Every time I open my iPad it asks for my Apple ID and password. The Apple ID is already loaded in the box is wrong; it isn't my own Apple ID.

    So, to whom does the Apple ID belong?
    If this is a used iPad, the previous owner needs to remove it from their cloud account so you can put it in your name.
    Apps purchased by an Apple ID are forever linked to that ID, not the iPad.

  • IPad 2 constantly asks for Apple ID

    My iPad constantly asks for my Apple ID.  It started doing this after I updated to 5.0.1. Also, it seems random.

    that is for extra security
    in case if you lose your device, whoever is using it cannot misuse your apple id
    as it will keep prompting for password

  • IPad 2 asks for wrong apple ID when updating apps.

    My Dad let a friend borrow my iPad for a couple days. A few days later I tried to update my apps, but it was asking for my dad's friend's email password. I don't know what he did but every single app that needs to update is now under his apple ID. (even the ones downloaded under my account) When I check what account the apps were downloaded from they say my email, but when I try to update it, I'm asked for his password. It's really fusturating, and I've seen a few discussions with this problem but It doesn't help.
    I've already tried to sign out of iTunes and back in but it didn't work
    Restarting the iPad did nothing either.
    I'm using an iPad 2 with iOS 5.1.1
    If someone could help me I would greatly appreciate it.

    You're right... I don't understand and it is Weird... Because...
    Any App or Download Obtained with a Particular Apple ID is Tied to that Apple ID.
    Try this...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of the Account... > Settings  >  Store  >  Apple ID  =  Sign Out.
    Perform a Reset and try again.
    Reset... No Data or Settings will be lost...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Ipad asking for apple id when app is launched

    All of the sudden our ipads are asking for the Apple ID when a student tries to launch an app.

    Having this exact same issue that literally popped up over night.  I have 24 iPads in a classroom that I use Apple Configurator with.  I've not had any problem up until the last couple days.  Various apps, when opened will prompt for an apple id and password.  If the student hits cancel, the app shuts down.
