Bought new iPad Air, but it keeps asking for my old Apple ID to complete the synch process

I've just purchased an iPad Air. I had changed my Apple ID some time ago. I've updated my old iPad 2 with the new Apple ID and deleted the old Apple ID from the iCloud function. Now that I'm trying to synch the two, the iPad Air first asks me for my iCloud Sign In and that seems to work with the new Apple ID, but then in the next screen, after the ToCs, it asks me to choose a back up. I choose today's backup. The problem comes in the next screen when it says Enter the Apple ID password for [old Apple ID] to use for store purchases. What do I do? Is there somewhere that I've missed signing off the old Apple ID? Please help. Thank you!

Well, as it turns out, there's no need to delete your old Apps. Unfortunately, i did that, but accidentally left one or two with the old ID. What happens is that you just Skip the step. It then tells you that some things couldn't be restored. I've now restored it to yesterday's backup and there's not much that's not there - there are some PDF docs missing that I had sent to kindle app and that's annoying. And yes agree that one shouldn't even bother changing Apple ID ever!! What a hassle!
Wish I had know that before.
Thanks all!

If it is asking for an APlle ID password for an ID you do not recognize then you have stumbled upon the Activation Lock feature of IOS7.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

You are required to provide credit card details to download apps be it free or paid.
Nothing will be deducted from your credit card if the app is free.
There will be a authorizing hold of US$1.00 to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.

OH MAN! I had the same problem for so long! I was trying to get as much information and try as many different ways as possible. None worked for me and I am guessing none worked for you either. I will try and help you out! I hope this works for you!!!
Click on your Apple ID > Type in your password > Scroll down to Purchase History > Click on it > If your account has red numbers higlighting a balance. You need to pay that first. Then you are hopefully free of that stupid security code crap! I hope this helped you!

Why does my iPhone keep asking for my OLD Apple ID?

I need my old Apple ID to turn off the "Find MY Phone" option. I have already changed my apple ID, BUT my iPhone 5 keeps asking for the password of my OLD account. When I introduce my old password it says "Your Apple ID or password is incorrect." but the problem is that the password nor the email is not incorrect. This also happens when I try to update Apps; I can't get the latest updates because it wont take my old apple ID but it also doesnt change to the new one. PLEASE HELP, I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING.

have you tried to go into settings->itunes & app stores
and click on the old appleID and click logout ?

New Ipad Air first setup is asking for my itune email and password.

When I press restore from icloud, it shows me my old email adress that is not working. I have to press ''skip''. I went to itune and icloud account and they all show my new email address. How can I fix this?

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I concur. You were sold a used/demo model that is essentially useless since it is already associated with an AppleID. Take back for a full refund OR a new sealed-in-box replacement.

Hello vfrio,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you edited your existing Apple ID to a new email address and changed the password as well. To change this on your computer, you will need to sign out of the old account and into the new Apple ID in iCloud for Windows. Please use the attached article as a further reference.
What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support
Windows PC
Open iCloud for Windows and click Sign Out.
If you're signed out, sign in with your updated Apple ID or password. The data in iCloud will automatically appear on your device after you sign in.
If you're signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Click Sign Out. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked if you want to make copies or delete iCloud data (Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, Bookmarks, Photo Stream) from your PC. Click Delete. Your data will remain in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Sign in with your updated Apple ID or password.
Have a great day,
Joe

I bought a new ipad air but when i install the apps , all of them are gone , but i app store still are and says you can open it. But it can not open.

I bought a new ipad air but when i install the apps , all of them are gone , but i app store still are and says you can open it. But it can not open.

The apps available to you are dependent on your location. If you are not in the USA, then you cannot get the USA app store. Whilst you may think that is unfair, it has been a part of the stardard terms and conditions you agreed to when you setup the iOS device in question originally, as well as every time you click agree to the terms and conditions.
This is done because of two things, firstly there are many legal and semi-legal reasons that an iOS app store download is available in one territory and not another, in addition to this, it also allows apple to provide language specific content, as well as team up with companies and organisations within individual organisations in order to provide you with exclusive offers, content, and information, which it would not otherwise be able to do.
Rules for the iOS app store are also applied in varing forms for the music store, the books store, and the iTunes U content library.
I can very much understand your fustraition, as someone who spent a considerable portion of his life, especially during the years he grew up, living in California, USA, but now living in London, UK, I too find it very fustraiting that you cannot always get the same content from one country to another, especially when most marketing for iOS apps originates in the USA these days.
I hope this helps your query and helps to ease your fustraition. If you would like apple to be aware of your fustraition, rather than putting it onto a pubilc form which is on monitored in a very limited capacity, then you can fill in the form at http://www.apple.com/feedback where you can give your complaint straight to apple.

HT4623 I bought a brand new ipad air, but I am not allowed to download ie. pages and keynotes for free, as promised?

I bought a brand new ipad air, but I am not allowed to download ie. pages and keynotes for free, as promised?

The free only counts for devices activated after September. So first you need to activate the iPad (go through all the set up stuff), then, using the same Apple ID you used to activate the iPad, go to the App store and search for Pages, etc. When you download them you should see them for free.
Being free is tied to the Apple ID used to activate a device. For example, I bought my iPod in June, so I'd need to pay for the apps, which is why they're not universally free in the app store.
After you activate the iPad it may take a little time for the app store to realize 'yeah, just got a new device, this purchase is free'. I've seen people say they go right in, see it for cost, then go back in a little bit and the apps are now free.

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

Download the iOS update manually and install;

After you have downloaded the update, attach your iPad to your computer, open iTunes and select your iPad in the devices list. Press & hold the Option/Alt key and click the Check for Update button. Browse to where you downloaded the update and Choose it. iTunes will handle the rest.
