Accounts merge on my new iPhone 5

Hi, I connected my new phone to my computer and my wife's iTunes account merged with mine. Now when I go to my app store it always ask me for her password. I have on my phone my apple id, and in the computer I'm login to my account. how can I fix this? now i have some apps on my phone that she download with her apple id, we have different apple ids, and we sync both iphones and ipads on the same computer. we have different credit cards on the apple ids. Why they merge? What Can I do?
Thanks

This is how I fixed it on my new iPhone 5S. Using the standard yahoo setting on my phone.
You will have to access "managing your app passwords" on your account profile for yahoo. Generate password for your app. For example: "My iPhone 5S'
Go to your Iphone and set up your yahoo mail account on your phone the normal way and you have to use the generated password. instead of the yahoo account password.

I hope this helps,

How do I edit the iCloud account information on my new iPhone 4?

How do I edit the iCloud account information on my new iPhone 4? I changed in on the iCloud web site, but it still has the old email address on the phone. The address is not able to change...am I missing something?
Also, the first time I started the phone, I put my email address instead of my son's address, now when I try to set up iMessage, it asks for my password associated with my address and not my son's address.

Yes...I tried that and It did work...Thank you.
Now the other item...iMessage still have my email address and I want my son's address. I have the iCloud registered with his address, I have not found where I can edit that.

HT2688 how to transfer music from my itunes account to my husbands new iphone

I have an existing itunes account which my husband had purchased music on and now he has a new iphone and, of course, his own itunes account. I have synced but have only managed to download all his apps to my computer...but he still has no music. I have turned on the home share but still hasn't worked. when I've looked online for assistance it says to "turn on the settings for iphone>settings>ipod... well has has no ipod (other than nike + ipod), so I went to settings>music>and signed in to home sharing with his own account ID and PW.... any body have a solution?

I'm confused.
You don't transfer music from an iTunes account. You transfer it from an iTunes library. Plug in the phone and sync it.

Okay.
I have synced but have only managed to download all his apps to my computer...but he still has no music.
You have sync'd your iPhone or his iPhone?
I have turned on the home share but still hasn't worked
Are you trying to Home Share between different computers?
Or between iTunes libraries on the same computer?
Are you using the same computer? Different computers?
Are you using the same computer login or do you each have your own?
If he purchased music previously on your account, is this music in your iTunes library? His iTunes library? Is there only one iTunes library?

How to move-copy mail messages(pop3 account) already downloaded to new iphone

I have a new iphone and i need to transfer my emails

Moving email messages to another file location is not supported. But I don't see a need for it. Creating folders as part of Messaging function is still the same routine, go to My Folders.

HT1937 cant access my apple account to restore my new iphone 5

i cant seem to access my apple account on my computor as its saying the following message...
saying that my password is incorrect but iv tried it a million times, its allowing to me access it when i use another iphone, i have jst had this phone so please help asap

Well, too bad you tried a million times. You will be locked out after 3 failed attempts to get the correct password, so 999,997 of those attempts were guaranteed to fail. You will have to go to https://appleid.apple.com and follow the instructions to reset your password.

HT201342 How do you change passwords in email accounts??? Just got new iPhone and no record of previous passwords.....

How do you change passwords in email accounts?? Have new iPhone and no record of previous passwords. Dumb I know but I'm in a real bind.....

See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787. (Your iCloud ID is also an Apple ID.) If you don't have access to your old email account and can't use security question authentication to reset your password, you'll have to do one of the following to turn off Find My iPhone so you can chang the iCloud account on your phone:
If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was. You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so. You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

Can I put the SIM of an old iPhone into a new iPhone, no problems?

OK so my old iPhone was stolen, but the thief threw away the SIM (found it near the trash).
Instead of buying a new one at the non-contract price of $700, I opened a second line on my account and bought a new iPhone.
Can I take my old SIM and put it in my new one so I can keep my same number??????

This is the second time you've asked the same question. The answer is still the same, no matter how many times you ask. Yes, you can put the old sim in your phone & your phone will work ONLY IF THE ACCOUNT ASSOCIATED WITH THAT SIM IS ACTIVE. If you canceled the account, it won't work. If you're trying to use the old sim and only maintain the second account, that won't work.
I.E. You need to maintain BOTH accounts to do what you want.

I got a new Iphone and I made a mistake and created a second Itunes account. How can I merge the data included in my old account to my new one

I got a new Iphone and I made a mistake by creating a new Itunes user, and I can't access all of my music on my old account can I move it to my new account ?

This doesn't really seem like an iTunes Match question, but ... at this time Apple IDs can not be merged.
However, it is possible to sync the iPod with iTunes to add the music to the library.

HT5621 When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

You cannot merge Apple IDs but you can go to Settings > iCloud and 'Delete Account'. When prompted to turn off documents and data, choose the only option which is Delete from my iPhone, but on the other prompt for Contacts, Calendars, etc you can choose 'Keep on my iPhone' Then once the Account is Deleted form the iPhone, log back in with the correct Apple ID and choose Merge when prompted. This will merge your data from this iPhone with that iCloud account effectively putting your devices on the same account.

HT1430 Can anyone help me set up sending email from my o2 email account to my new iPhone 5? I think I maybe shouldn't have clicked the 'merge' option for iCloud when I set up the first email account (though am not sure whether that's relevant). Thanks,

Can anyone help me set up sending email from my o2 email account, for my new iphone?
Thanks

Additonally, at this point I really want to talk to someone who cares about how a customer like I might feel in such a situation and when I call corporate would like to talk to someone who is interested in hearing my input as it really sucks to think I really don't feel like going to the store anymore and would rather just buy stuff on amazon or newegg these days instead;/ When I know how much i used to enjoy going into the store and getting friendly with kind staff who worked with me to get the best deal on the items I got--perhaps this was because it was at a more desperate time when Best Buys fate as a company was more precarious prior to price matching taking origin. Also, on an aside, would like to add that obviously there is always the one or two people who go out of their way to make sure you have an excellent expeirenece so I am not trying to make any sweeping generalizations here. In fact, I find the forum contributors to be among the most kind and helpful, but that might be because they don't have to deal with the now seemingly dreaded "pricematch" epidemic;D

Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

Ive changed my apple id. in my iPad and iPhone under iTunes it's showing the new id but under iCloud still shows old I'd. I have been told to delete account and add in new one but worried in case lose all my stuff that's already saved in iCloud. any idea?

If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID. Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

Can you merge Iphone data from a new iphone with an old back up?

I am looking for some advice.
I recently had my my iPhone and my MacBook Pro stolen at the same time. Fortunately I managed to get a new iPhone on my insurance which I received before I bought myself a new MacBook. I resorted my MacBook from a back up I kept separately. I wan't to sync my new iPhone with my previous iPhone data held on my iTunes. I would like to do this without loosing the SMS messages, apps and data held on my current iPhone. The other issue is that my new iPhone has a newer version of iOS then my previous iPhone.
Is it simply a case of just plugging my phone into iTunes and it will automatically sync the data and merge them or will I have to so something else to merge the two accounts?
Thank you in advance,
Best Wishes,
Jamie

Sorry, you can't do what you want. The restore from backup process is all or nothing. Yes, you can restore from your previous phone's backup, but you will lose all new data...not in that backup...currently on your phone. There is no supported way to merge this data.

I recently gave my old iPhone to my nephew, he switched it to his phone account, but somehow I now have his contacts on my new iPhone 5. When I look at my iCloud account, it lists his contacts. Is there any way for me to get my contacts back?

I recently gave my old iPhone to my nephew, I did not clear out my old phone before I gave it to him, when he transferred to his account, he had my iCloud info on the phone, and it updated the contacts on my new iPhone 5 to his contacts. Is there any way for me to get my contacts back?

This is caused by using the same iCloud account on both phones. When you do this any data you sync with the shared iCloud account such as contacts is merged and will appear on all devices connected to the account. To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (i.e., deleting your nephew's data from your account, and vice versa).
As for recovering your lost contacts, if they aren't on icloud.com when you check from your computer, you will have to recover them from a backup source. You could try restoring to your last backup but this doesn't always work for contacts. (Chances are you nephew deleted your contacts from his phone, not realizing it would also delete them from yours.)

How do I replace someone else's Mac ID with my own? Bought iPhone second hand. Previous owner re-set the phone but his ICloud account stayed on now my phone. He uses his macID on his new iPhone now?? Any ideas, as this issue is blocking my access to iTune

How do I replace someone else's Mac ID with my own?
Bought iPhone second hand on TradeMe.
Previous owner re-set the phone but his ICloud account stayed on now my phone. He uses his AppleID on his new iPhone now and, understandably, does not want to give me his password. Any ideas?? Please.
This issue is blocking my access to iTunes and any other file from my home computer. It keeps on telling me that I have to autorise my computer to pass on files, yet, it seems, for all this to happen, I need to get logged in through the phone's Apple ID. This of course is different to my one on my computer - and I have no password for it.
This phone is not stolen!! I payed still a fair bit for it. Am still in contact with the previous owner. He doesn't know how to fix the problem either.
Would appreciate any suggestion ????
Thanks
SamSings

Settings>general>resets>erase all content and settings.
That will put it back to its out of the box state. Set it up with your own apple Id.
