Can I change my apple ID after I've set up my iphone?

Myself and husband both got iPhones recently and not having a clue about it asked my son about setting them up, he said we could use the one ID but we're getting each others contacts, apps and texts.  Is it possible to change one of them now?

You can't change your ID.
If you have simply created an account with the wrong address as ID, log out and create a new account. Note you will not be able to create the same address for your free iCloud email address as it will already be used by the previous account.
If you already had an ID and created a different one when setting up your mac, simply log out and log back in using the correct details.

    How can I change the Apple Id in the icloud settings on my iphone 4?

    The only way is to remove the account, then add it back in, using the AppleID you want to use.  If this is a wholly different AppleID, then you will create a new iCloud account.  If you just changed the email address at the appleid web management page, then it will be the same iCloud account.

    How can I change my Apple ID in my iCloud account for my iPhone 4?  I have updated to my new Apple ID on iCloud and iTunes, but my phone still shows my old apple id, thus it's not letting me restore previously backed up info.

    Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  Then log in using a different ID.

    Hello pscorning1,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you have already changed the information associated with your current Apple ID (*not* created an entirely new Apple ID), you may find the following article about updating the various Apple ID services helpful:

    hey, i want to ask
    what is the bundled application? is that the thing like garage band/ i movie??
    and if I'm erasing my hard drive is that will also erase all application that came with my computer? please i need answers as soon as possible. thanks
    Correct, the second disc contains the iLife suite. You can customize which components of iLife are installed (iMovie, iPhoto, iDVD, Garageband, iWeb) outside of when you install the OS.
    If you erase the HD it's all or nothing, it'd be a full wipe of all data, applications, and system files.
    Given the steps provided for renaming the folder in that kBase article that's much easier than reinstalling the OS. Heck, I didn't realize it was so easy for 10.5/10.6!

    I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Posting your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
    If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile.
    You should be able to change that address at My Apple ID

    How can I change my apple ID on my iCloud account?

    Yes, you delete the account, then sign back in with a new ID to create their new account.  With iOS 7 you will be prompted to provide your password in order to delete the account.  Also, when you delete the account you will be asked if you want to keep or delete the iCloud data from the device.  If you plan to migrate a copy of the data to the new account, choose Keep, then choose Merge after signing into the new account to upload the data.

  • 2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

    2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

    You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
    You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

  • I have some apps on my iPad that were installed using an old apple ID. They can't be updated because the old ID is no longer valid. How can I change the apple ID associated with these apps?

    I installed some apps using an apple I'd that is no longer active. I can't update them because it asks for the password of the old I'd instead of the I'd I currently use. How can I change the apple I'd associated with these apps? I still want to use them. One app I paid for using the old I'd. The other app is free. I have already tried deleting them and reinstalling them.

    If you simply just changed the email associated with that appleid you can just delete and Re-download the apps.
    You can verify  the above step by going to the App Store on device > Updates>Purchased - if you see the app there just delete it from the home screen and redownload from the purchased section
    Now if you got rid of that account entirely, you will have to delete and re-purchase on your new account

  • How can I change the Apple ID on iMessage?

    I bought this iPhone 4 from my aunt, and it is currently sim-locked to Japan. My problem is that I can't change the Apple ID on iMessage, and my aunt's Apple ID keeps asking for the password. There are no other options in the iMessage than iMessage on/off and Character Count on/off. I need help. Thank you.
