Why can I not change the appleid associated with iphoto and imovies

Is it not your Apple ID? Is this a used Mac? If so, the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps are all registered to the original owner of the Mac.
When someone sells a Mac they should erase the Mac and reinstall the most recent version of OS X that came with the Mac. And they should call Apple Care and have the Mac, the OS and the iLife apps disassociated from their Apple ID. Can you call the original owner and request that?

    Hello pscorning1,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you have already changed the information associated with your current Apple ID (*not* created an entirely new Apple ID), you may find the following article about updating the various Apple ID services helpful:

  • Can I change the Apple ID associated with a serial number?

    I just purchased an iPad 1 used. The previous owner had its serial number registered under his Apple ID. Does anyone know how to change the apple ID associated with a serial number? On my iPad I am the apple user associated with the device. I am not the associated Apple ID on the Apple website.

    Here is the Apple product registration web site.
    https://register.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/GlobaliReg.woa
    If you have the receipt for the device, it really doesn't matter to whom the device is registered. The warranty is tied to the device, not the owner of the device so the warranty effectively transfers when you buy the iPad from the previous owner.
    Here is the site where you can check to see how long the warranty is still good for.

    Actually, I think all you need is the serial number if you need warranty service and it doesn't matter who owns the iPad at the time that service or warranty issues arise.

  • Can we change the Apple ID associated with a particular app?

    How do I change the Apple ID associated with a particular app?

    Why do you want/need to do that?

  • How do you change the Apple ID associated with an iOS device?

    So…I made the mistake of putting the wrong Apple ID (I have three – don't ask) on my iOS devices. If I try to change the Apple ID on my Mac, it wants to erase everything that I have on my Mac that is also stored on the iCloud. That is not a good solution. So, I want to change the Apple ID associated with my iOS devices (far less to lose there). The problem is that niether of my iOS devices will let me change the Apple ID associated with them – at least not that I can find.
    Does anyone know how to do that so I can get my Mac on the same page with my iPhone/iPad?
    Thanks.

    This is the kind of question where it helps to know what you are trying to achieve since the way you phrased the question has several interpretations.  CarolynSamit gave you one, here's another two:
    Apple ID Support - http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/  -> Apple ID FAQ http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37
    "How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
        You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Select your country and language, enter your desired changes, then click the Continue button. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See How to change the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information."
    How to change the name you use for your Apple ID - http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40
    Another answer is you cannot.  Items purchased with one AppleID cannot be transferred to a different account.

  • I want to change the apple ID associated with my iPhone

    For many years my Apple ID was associated with my work email address. I recently retired and want to change the Apple ID associated with my phone to my personal ID (which I use with my iPad, home PC, etc.).  However, I have forgotten the old password associated with my old ID, and since I no longer have access to my previous email account, I can not request a change of password email as it will be sent to my old email account which no longer exists.  How can I delete the old ID and install the personal ID ?

    Try Items # 3 and # 4 here  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622?viewlocale=en_US
    If necessary...  Contact iTunes Customer Service and request assistance

    It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

  • How do I change the Apple ID associated with my iTunes account?

    How do I change the Apple ID associated with my iTunes account?
    I have an apple ID that i have associated with my account but I want to change it to another ID that I just created.  I needed to create this new ID so that both my wife and I can use the ID for our shared iTunes account and then we each have our own apple IDs with our own calendars, contacts, etc.

    Change it on what way ? You can update the primary email address on an account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on an iOS device and signing into the account, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com
    If you want to log out of the account so that you can log in with a different account then tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store if using an iOS device and sign out, or on a computer's iTunes use the Store > Sign Out menu option. Any content downloaded by the currently logged in account will remain tied to that account, so only that account will be able to redownload it and/or download updates to its apps

  • HT204053 Our macs were set up with an incorrect Apple ID. Is there any way to change the Apple ID associated with these macs?

    Our macs were set up with an incorrect Apple ID. Is there any way to change the Apple ID associated with these macs? This causes increased frustration during the updating process. After maverick we cannot edit the id being used anymore.

    If you can prove ownership to the Macs, call Apple Care and request the Account Security Team.

  • I have some apps on my iPad that were installed using an old apple ID. They can't be updated because the old ID is no longer valid. How can I change the apple ID associated with these apps?

    I installed some apps using an apple I'd that is no longer active. I can't update them because it asks for the password of the old I'd instead of the I'd I currently use. How can I change the apple I'd associated with these apps? I still want to use them. One app I paid for using the old I'd. The other app is free. I have already tried deleting them and reinstalling them.

    If you simply just changed the email associated with that appleid you can just delete and Re-download the apps.
    You can verify  the above step by going to the App Store on device > Updates>Purchased - if you see the app there just delete it from the home screen and redownload from the purchased section
    Now if you got rid of that account entirely, you will have to delete and re-purchase on your new account

  • How to change the Apple ID associated with an iPhone4s

  • Why can I not change the alert of 9am on Calendar.  My day starts far earlier so I am unable to attend to the alert.  I am sure there are many who begin their day by 7am at the latest

    Why can the 9am default alert in Calendar not be changed.  I start my day far earlier so any alert appears too late to act upon.  I am sure there are many many others whose day starts long before 9am.  Alerts a day, a week or whatever earlier are not practical if action is to be taken on a specific day

    kaeandcolesmon,
    If you open the recovery drive (partition) it should only have a single folder (Recovery).
    To make sure that your not saving restore points to that drive.
    See:
    Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection tab. Make sure the D drive partition is set to OFF so that it does not save there.

  • Why can I not change the location browser I have moved from Indianapolis IN. to Columbus OH. and when I search it takes me to Indianapolis can I change this?

    when doing a internet search it takes me to Indianapolis news, weather, local businesses, ECT. can I change this to reference Columbus Oh. and not Indianapolis ?

    This seems to have been asked a lot around the net, however, there doesn't seem to be an adequate answer to it.
    I am running:
    Operating system is Windows 7Motherboard is Q67H2-AM v1.1
    Bios is ACER ver. 2.10.1207
    GPU is GTX 770
    PSU is 700w
    The Graphics card is plugged in to the 16x slot, the fans spin, but no display and no device is recognized in device manager.
    I have tried a few solutions including uninstalling my onboard graphics driver from the device manager and going to upgrade my 600w power supply to a 700w one.
    I think the issue is that I need to change the BIOS to PEG or PCI Express. However, in the Bios the settings for both "Primary Video" and "Onboard Graphics" are grayed out, meaning that I can't change them.

  • Why can I not change the setting for my iPhone 4s to stop making a woosh sound when I send txts?

    They should have an option under settings to turn this off, but they do not. It is not right to have to turn my iPhone on silent just to get away from it.
