HT4528 My Apple ID changed on my iPhone
My apple ID changed on my iPhone today. Even though it says my original ID in my settings, it pops up as .me.com when I go to update Apps. Please help!
That is the same Apple ID. When you sign up for an Apple ID on an iOS or Mac OS device it gives you an alternative email address which is either @me.com or @icoud.com. But never the less it is all in the same account.

My apple ID changed on my iPhone and is now incorrect. How do I retrieve my ID, NOT password?
Hi Barcelona,
Where is this occurring? Have you signed your new Apple ID into the iTunes & App Store, iCloud, Messages, etc.? Is it coming up when you are trying to update apps? Can you provide a little more info?
Cheers,

Changing my Apple ID account on my iPhone?
So I changed my Apple ID account on my iPhone and I can't update my old apps and I can't download apps I had before withy old Apple ID because it doesn't give me the option to download... How can I get my apps back?! Please help!
Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID > Sign Out > Sign In with the current Apple ID
Settings > iCloud > (Scroll Down) Delete Account > Sign In with the current Apple ID -
It seems that every time I login on my iPhone to buy iTunes, it doesn't recognize my password and I have to change it. Then when I go to iTunes to synch, it says my password which I created on the SAME APPLE ID is invalid and I have to change it. I tried to change it to the same password each time, but still it was not recognized by the other device. Is it because I'm not on Lion or Mountain Lion? (although I seem to remember this problem happening before there was iCloud)
Thanks for any help.
Therese X.Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,

If I changed my Apple ID password on my iphone then log into itunes on my phone with that new password, would it automatically sync to my laptop or would i need to put the new password into my laptop also? My laptop got stolen so I changed my password and wanted to be sure it's safe to enter in the new one on my phone. I don't want it to snyc to my laptop.
Hi loro,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I'm sorry to hear that your laptop was stolen. Changing your password was a good step.
Entering your new password on your iPhone will not affect the laptop, as mentioned in this article:
Apple ID: Changing your password
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5624
The next time you use an Apple feature or service that uses Apple ID, you'll be asked to sign in with your new Apple ID password.
Best Regards,

How do you change your Apple-ID in iCloud on iPhone-4S
How can I change my Apple-ID in iCloud on iPhone-4S to my new Apple-ID? I do not know the password for the old Apple-ID that is iin iCloud
If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished 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 to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

HT5624 How do I update my Apple ID on iPad and iPhone after changing it?
How do I update my Apple ID email address on iPhone and iPad after changing the email but not password. I have verified my new email on iPhone iPad and iMac but settings on all for iCloud still show my old email address. I can't use anything now that needs my Apple ID
Hello there, Chivs86.
From what it sounds like you are wanting to sign out of iCloud with the "old" ID and sign in with the new. The following Knowledge Base article should help you with that issue:
iCloud: Features that work with one account at a time on iOS 5 and OS X Lion or later
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4020
Specifically:
To change a secondary account to a primary account
iOS 5 or later:
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Delete the secondary account.
Tap the Back button.
Tap iCloud.
Delete the primary account.
Add the secondary account that you want to be your primary account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7?
How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7? When I updated to iOS7 it kept my old ID on some features and my new one on others. I was able to change my Apple ID on all apps except iCloud. I don't have the original email account I used when setting up my iPhone with the old Apple ID and I have no clue what the password was. It appears I first need to turn off "Find my iPhone" which requires the old Apple ID, then I can delete the iCloud account. I want to use my current Apple ID to be able to use the "Find my iPhone" feature in iOS7. I hope someone can help!!

That doesn't help. It's an old email that doesn't work anymore. Please read the entire post. iOS7 won't let you delete iCloud unless you have the password for the old/inactive email/Apple ID.
You never mentioned that you didn't have access to that email. There are some specific steps you can perform to retrieve the old Apple ID password. -

My photos will not sync to my Apple TV (1st generation), ipad, iphone, or itouch. They used to be there but upon recent syncs with all devices they have all gone. I am totally baffled as I have not changed settings?
I had the same thing happen to me. It's a bug in iPhoto 9.4.2.
The first time you run iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, it "updates the iPhoto library". This sometimes tickles a bug where iTunes can see all your iPhoto albums, but iTunes thinks they are empty. Since iTunes thinks all your albums are empty, it dutifully deletes any photos from your synced iOS devices.
It's easy to tell if this is the problem you are seeing. Open iTunes and go to the photos sync panel for one of your iOS devices. If you have multiple albums checked, but iTunes shows a total of 0 photos, then you have the problem.
I spent an hour with an Apple Genius. he couldn't find any mention of this problem in their internal support system. His recomendation was to reinstall the operating the system. I suspect that this won't solve it.
The only solution I have found is to restore iPhoto 9.4.1 and the corresponding iPhoto library from your backups.
I would refrain from upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2 until Apple has a fix for this issue. -
I recently changed my apple id and both my iphone 3Gs and Ipad 2 when synced went straight back to my old id name for my app store how do I change it to the new one and keep it that way?
Try going into your account details on iTunes, change your info there, then sync your devices.

Apple ID changed only on itunes, not iphone. :-(
I changed my e mail address since my old one is no longer used. After changing my e mail address on itunes, I can't seem to get it changed on my iphone when I try to download something from the app store, it shows my old e mail address for the apple ID.
You can change it in your iphone going to settings scroll down to app store and sign out and sign in with the apple id you want,also can be done in every itunes,app store or ibooks app,just scroll down.
But be sure about how you set up the sync in your computer because if you tick to sync email accounts and/or apple id may it change every time you sync.
Wish i help.
