Apple IDs out of sync

i changed my appleID, but my iphone 5 keeps prompting me for the password of my old ID.  How do I get everything set to my new ID?  I'm also having trouble doing a backup because my IDs are out of sync.  I'm using a MacBook Pro also.  Any advice?

Go to settings/itunes & app store and log out of the old ID and log in with the new.  remember apps are forever linked to the ID that was used to download them in the first place and can only be updated with the old ID.  I fthat is a problem for you delete those apps and download them again using th enew ID

  • HT204053 I have two Apple ids and want to consolidate everything onto one.  How do I do it?

    I have two Apple ids and my syncing from iMac to MacBook and iPod Touch is messed up.  I want to consolidate all of my contacts and calanders (at least!) under one of my ids, and also use that one for the App Store.  What can I do?

    Purchases are forever tied to the ID used to buy the items, so you don't want to change the iTunes Store account to a different ID.
    You cannot "consolidate" or merge two IDs.
    For your use of icloud, just decide which ID (or account) you want to use.  The following tells you how to move data from one icloud account to another:
    When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. 
    When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. 
    After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
    Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc.  Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there.  These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
    NOTE:  Photos in the photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the new account.  It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch. 

  • I have two Apple IDs.  I want to change the one my iPad is associated to to the other Apple ID.  How do I do that?

    I created two Apple IDs out of confusion.  I'd like to delete one of them, but want to make sure my devices are associated with the one I want to keep.
    How do I make sure my devices are associated to the right now?  And...How do I delete the Apple ID I don't want?
    Thx

    You can't delete an Apple ID. Just don't use it. If you downloaded apps using the ID you want to delete, you won't be able to update those apps unless you use that ID.

  • How to fix out of sync devices which have used 2 apple Ids?

    I have been working with the iCloud help desk over the last couple days on this but let me explain the situation:
    I have 2 apple IDs.  one I use for iTunes access/purchases, etc. it happens to be my day to day email.  the other ID happens to be associated with my mac.com email which I use for separate email purposes. 
    I use an ipadair, iPhone 4, mac. all are updated with most current IOS release.
    The issue is the lack of synchronization between the devices.  I primarily enter my contacts, calendars, reminders via my desktop mac/apple apps, i.e. ical, contacts and reminders.  However when I am away from my desktop i enter via my ipadair typically. The help desk did help and we were able to sync all of them via the Mail/Contacts/Calendars setups for new entries, rather than iCloud settings and any activated syncing via iTunes.  I know that there is a way to get this sorted/combined without losing any data.
    What I have discovered during my discussions with the help desk, if we take the contact lists as an example, is that I have a set of contacts entered separately and perhaps synced on my iPad that are not showing up anywhere else, for example the name Mia on my iPad does not show up on my iPhone or Mac contact list.
    the record counts are different, Mac contacts have 1459, iCloud apple ID 1 has 1386 and iCloud apple ID2 has 1434(each essentially are named after an email address; 1 of which is connected to my iTunes account, and although I cannot tell how many records are on my ipadair in contacts, I know that some of those contacts are different and have not synced across to my iPhone or Mac apps.
    So the question is how to get them all synced(iCloud apple ID 1(primary), iCloud apple ID 2, iPad contacts, Mac contacts without losing any contacts....i'm less concerned about duplicates, because I can manually delete dupes if they occur.  Just trying to get to one method of syncing....noting that when I set these up originally i used iTunes syncing and it seemed to add duplicates never was in sync and all contact list were messed up...i am sure that is because of the 2 iCloud IDs, but I do not know how to fix it so I do not lose any contacts/can clean from one source and also of course utilize syncing for calendar, reminders, etc. retaining my separate apple ID for ITunes and the other for all this synchronization.
    thanks.

    You need to:
    1) Go to appleID.apple.com, log in with [email protected], and then change the AppleID/Primary Email back to [email protected] Sign out.
    2)  Delete the icloud account on the iphone. Enter the password when prompted.
    3) Go back to appleID.apple.com, log in with [email protected], then change the AppleID/primary email back to [email protected]

  • How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

    How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

  • How can i find out which apple ids are associated with my ipad

    When I sync my iPad I get the message that some songs cannot be updated because only 5 Apple IDs can be associated with an iPad. I am aware of three that we use in my family - mine and my two sons. How can I find out what other Apple IDs are associated with my iPad?

    Multiple Apple IDs (2) with Purchases & iTunes Match. Apple TV Purchases. Not happy to have to log in/out to view and enjoy my Purchase Contest. What's the solution?

    Hi
    i ran into the same problem. surprisingly though, i am not using multiple apple id and just one mac.
    i did change both the account (apple id) and the computer (from pc to a mac server), but home sharing is on and the apple tv (1) is synced with the new computer.
    i can connect to the itunes store and browse through it (signed in at all times). i cannot purchase any content and cannot play transferred rentals from the computer (apple tv is not authorised...)
    somehow, it seems the apple tv was stuck with a previous id.
    i have just now re-authorised my computer on the account and will give the apple tv another try. i did notice a message during the re-authorisation process. the apple tv is being authorised. this gives me hope.
    in any case, your setup seems to be a dream come through. i decided to phase out my high end multiroom linn kivor system (over 20k back 6y ago) to an itunes based system. apparently you managed to build something.
    i tried an itunes based nas but gave up due to complex operation (and overheating on top) and went for a mac server. i will be using windows clients though.
    most of my content is cd based. can you sync purchased content between pc's? or with a server?

  • We've had our MBP for a year, set up with my Apple ID. Got an iPad recently and set up with another Apple ID. Would now like to sync the two and set up iCloud/PhotoStream. How to do since have two different Apple IDs?

    We've had our MBP for a year, set up with my Apple ID. Got an iPad recently and set up with husband's Apple ID. Would now like to sync the two and set up iCloud/PhotoStream between the two. How to do since have two different Apple IDs? Thanks!

    Just out of curiosity, why did you elect to use a different id?.  That seems to always make things difficult.  If you have not had the pad for long, or have not bought a lot of stuff Nader the new id, you might want to think about erasing all content, turn off find my phone, wiping the pad and starting over.
    You can sync 2 different ids ( at least move pictures, books and music back and forth) if you are syncing through I tunes on your computer, but I don't think you can cross feed I cloud streams.

  • How do i sync my ipad to multiple computers and apple ids?

    Hey,
    I had an iPad 1, which was synced to my apple id. I then got the iPad 2, which is synced to my apple id as well. My mom is now using the iPad 1, and would like to continue using some of the apps i'd downloaded, but would also like to sync her own apple id to the iPad 1. can someone help me figure out how to sync multiple apple ids, on multiple computers to a single ipad?
    (I know this can be done, as my dad's iPad 1, as well as my brother's sync to two different computers and to two different apple ids, i'm just not sure how)

    Using iPad or iPod with multiple computers  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
    Apps cannot legally be shared between Apple IDs - that is considered piracy.
    However, you can legally install apps on multiple devices that use the same iTunes ID and are owned/controlled by the same person.

  • I have two Apple IDs, and this is causing problems with syncing via iCloud. How do I move everything to one ID? All advice is for setting up, not for after it's already set up.

    My problem is that I have been a Mobile Me user for the past couple of years, and because of that a second Apple ID was generated in addition to the one I've been using for years. When iCloud was introduced last fall I did everything I was supposed to in setting it up, but it is evident that the syncing is not working as it should. In checking, I am certain this is because I now have two active Apple IDs. I would assume this is a common issue with all who were/are Mobile Me users.
    The online help says you can't merge two IDs. Okay. What I want to do is to get rid of the Moble Me ID and only use my regular Apple ID. But the help on that issue seems to only give instructions for setting up the iCloud account. It seems that when I go into my iCloud accounts, both on my iPhone and my Mac, I can view the ID but there is no way to change them to another ID or to eliminate the account.
    Please help. I am a long-time Apple user and this really should be a fairly simple matter to take care of, but this is one issue where the normally user-friendly Apple way of life is giving me fits. Thanks.

    I am logged into the same things on both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro, except for mail. I use a gmail IMAP account and everything there already works on both machines. The iCloud account on my iPhone uses one Apple ID and the one on the Mac uses the second Apple ID.

  • I subscribed to iTunes Match and would like to sync my music on multiples devices that have different Apple IDs within the same iCloud family.

    I subscribed to iTunes Match and would like to sync my music on multiples devices that have different Apple IDs within the same iCloud family.
    Can someone indicate the way to proceed?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can't use family sharing or multiple Apple IDs with iTunes match.
    ITunes match is only attached to Apple id that you used to subscribe.

  • I have different apple ids for my ipad and iphone - how do i sync so that the apps appear on both devices, e.g errands

    I have different apple ids for my ipad and iphone - how do i sync so that the apps appear on both devices, e.g errands

    If both accounts are authorised on the computer's iTunes that you sync them to, and the relevant apps are on that computer, then you should be able to sync them to both devices. The apps will be tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded them, so only that account will be able to download updates to them.
    If you log into the other account on a device and re-download its apps onto them then you risk tying the device to that account for 90 days (and similarly redownloading on a computer's iTunes) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

  • HT5622 Can you use more than one apple ID on the same computer? I can't sign in and out and sync my iPod because my library isn't on there.

    My sister has an iTunes account on our main computer, and I have one on our laptop.  I want to be able to sync my iPod with the main computer, but I can't because my library is on the laptop.  Is there any way to sync my iPod with my library on the computer?

    Yes
    http://www.imore.com/how-use-multiple-apple-ids-one-computer-and-itunes
    However you can only sync all media from one iTunes library/computer. However, one can sync music and videos with different computers/libraries if you have iTunes setup to manually sync. See that method included here:
