Apple ID greyed out in Settings-how to change?

My grandaughter got a new iPod Touch.  She is using her mother's apple id but wants to change to one of her own.  The iPod is already set up with mother's id, and the id is greyed out in Settings.  How can she change the id to her own?

Appears that the Restriction that prevents changing accounts is set. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions. Restrictions is passcode protected

  • The apple id connected with the app store for updates and purchases is outdated and will not change with the new apple id entered on my settings. how to change?

    I have changed the apple id on my settings to reflect the current account for all our apple products.
    But this is not changing when I go to the App store to make a purchase or install updates.
    How do I get the app store connection on my IPAD to go to the apple id i am currently using.
    Obviously just changing it on the settings was not enough.

    Again, this only affects you if someone *redownloaded* content with a different ID. In my case, I emailed iTunes Store support, explained the situation, and they reset the counter.  I recommend you try the same
    If you read discussion boards, this is a significant change from a year ago, when Apple told people in the same situation to go f&$# themselves.  Clearly it's dawning on them that this is a stupid policy, and my guess is if people keep complaining they'll change it to something more reasonable.  Remember, it wasn't that long ago you couldn't re-download content at all.
    Apple can't really afford to play hardball on this. Sure, the hardcore fanboys will always say "Thank you sir, may I have another" whatever Apple throws at them,  but the rest of us will just switch to Amazon, which has none of these restrictions.

  • Icloud is greyed out in settings can't access iCloud or Twitter

    iCloud an Twitter are greyed out in Settings on my iPad.  iTunes says that it was backed up this morning. I can not access iCloud on my pad.  Anyonelse?

    A little more info is needed.  How are you trying to access iCloud (via contacts, calendar, mail app)?  Also check Settings>Restrictions.  Not sure if turning it on would cause this, but check to be sure its not turned on.

  • Apple ID greyed out in app store & can't edit

    The apple ID on my iMac is greyed out, and I can't change it because my only option is to cancel or sign in.  How do I edit the Apple ID so the correct one populates in the app store?  Itunes works fine, if that matters.

  • I have recently purchased the highest storage but was unable to backup my phone via icloud, the button on my mphone to backup on icloud is grey out, anyone knows how to resolve the problem?  What's the point of purchasing the biggest storage?

    i have recently purchased the highest storage but was unable to backup my phone via icloud, the button on my iphone to backup on icloud is grey out, anyone knows how to resolve the problem?  What's the point of purchasing the biggest storage?

    First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
    If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • Can't seem to change the Document Properties Advanced Reading Options in a Form that was created in Adobe LiveCycle. This option has been "greyed" out - anyone know how to update this to English so I can pass Accessibility Testing?

    Can't seem to change the Document Properties > Advanced > Reading Options in a Form that was created in Adobe LiveCycle. This option has been "greyed" out - anyone know how to update this to English so I can pass Accessibility Testing?

    LiveCycle forms use a very different approach to create a PDF form than Acrobat and that approach makes many features for processing PDFs non-functional.
    You might want to ask this question in one of the LiveCycle product forums.

  • Add account in Apple Mail greyed out

    After migration to Yosemite I imported added my accounts and imported my mailboxes in Apple Mail. This seemed to work fine.
    Now I want to add another mail account in Apple Mail (preferences -> accounts) and I cannot click the + (plus) as it is greyed out.
    I then added the account through system settings and it appeared in Mail.
    After a while (about an hour of inactivity) this account disappears from both Mail and system preferences.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Found this and trying it myself . . . https://discussions.apple.com/message/23992956#23992956. Sounds plausible but it is a work around. Apple should look into it . . .

  • Apple id greyed out in itunes

    my apple id is greyed out in itunes on my ipad I noticed this when an app I was trying to download kept saying "waiting" ....I cannot update my apps either as they say waiting.  I can get in my account on itunes on my computer.  This is all since the new os .....I would also like to stop these apps now but can't find a place to do it.

    I have the EXACT same problem since the OS update.   The TV apps I use a LOT tried to update, but are now permanently  stuck on 'waiting.   I cannot use them.  I cannot even delete them, or try to re install.   I have two new apps (which have never fully installed, and now I want to delete)  stuck on 'installing' too.  I cannot delete them, because when you press the icon to make it wiggle, no cross appears. They will not delete in iTunes. And I cannot sign out and re sign in, as my Apple ID is greyed out. 
    Please, someone help!!

  • Some of my pdf files (since upgrade to Acrobat DC reader) have greyed-out blanks. How can I get rid of this so I can read what is obliterated?

    I installed Acrobat Reader DC version 2015.007.20033 on May 3 as an upgrade to the previous version (which worked perfectly). Now some of my pdf files have greyed-out blocks obscuring the text (which I imagine is being hidden by the blocks). In some cases the whole document is illegible. What has happened? How do I get rid of the problem?

    Don't know what the problem was, but it disappeared after uninstalling the programme and re-installing it. (It may have had something to do with the few preference changes I made in trying to customise the appearance to look like the previous Adobe version, but if so, I'm not clear which (one?) of them caused the grey-outs).
