Can't change Apple ID on iPad

My sister who is not very tech savvy let me borrow her iPad.  Her co-workers', who apparently helped her when she first got it, Apple Id comes up when I go to the iTunes & App Store.  How do I change that the Apple ID?  It is not giving me the option to sign out. 
Plz help,
Narie

First of all note that if you switch Apple ID's on her iPad so that you can download something for free on her iPad using your ID, you will lock her out of her own Apple ID for 90 days. You can only associate a device with another ID once every 90 days. So if that is your desire, don't do it.
If you need to sign out of her ID for some other reason such as troubleshooting purposes and the ID is greyed out and you can't sign out. Check Settings>General>Restrictions>Allow Changes>Accounts. They may have turned off changes to accounts and that would prevent you from being able to sign out of her ID.

  • Can the change Apple ID on iPad

    First off I am a Newbie to the iPad...
    i have 2 questions...
    1)  Over a year ago my company purchased an iPad (don't know if it is just an iPad or iPad2)
    It was going to be used by Restaurant Servers to place orders.
    It was only used a couple of times and then put away.
    Now we want to start using it again.
    I powered on the iPad and there were some updates so I let the iPad install them.
    Once the updates were completed, the next screen came up with the following
    "to finish setting up iCloud, enter the Apple ID password for (email address)"
    I have tried every password I can think of but to no avail, they did not work.
    The person who set the iPad up, is no longer here. (I can not call this person and ask if they know what the password is)
    I know the Apple ID but do not know what the password is.
    I tried the Forgot password however I do not know the person first and last name that was used.  I have tried several different names and they did not work either.
    Now I have created a new Apple ID and password (and will put that information in a safe place)
    I can skip the "to finish setting up iCloud, enter the Apple ID Password for (email address) however the next message comes up with
    "Are you sure?  If you skip this step, some iCloud service may not be set up completely"
    If I skip, can I finish setting up the iCloud services after I change the Appile ID login?
    which is my next question:
    2) How do I change the Apple ID on the iPad?  I am not a user of Apple products (however I will be after I get this iPad setup correctly) so I need instructions.
    Ok I do have another question.... In order for me to change the ID and password will i need the ID and password of the one that is currently on the iPAD?
    Thanks in advance.

    You have run into Activation Lock. You will not be able to get around it without knowing the password of the person it is currently locked to. Get the original receipt for the iPad and make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and see if they can assist you.

  • I have an ipad2 can i change it with new ipad without charge?, I have an ipad2 can i change it with new ipad without charge?

    Hi,i have an ipad 2 can i change it with new ipad without pey charge ?

    No. Apple does not do trade-ins. Sell the iPad 2 and use the money
    toward an iPad 4. If you are still within the return window of the retailer
    where you purchased the iPad 2, return it and buy an iPad 4.

  • Change Apple ID on iPad app?

    Can I change Apple ID associated with a newsstand magazine app? I am moving to a new iPad and am using a different Apple ID on the new one.

    You may authorize an iPad to use content from more than one Apple ID. However, the most simple way to do this is to authorize a Mac or a PC to use the content from multiple Apple IDs and commingle the content in the same iTunes content libraries. Then sync all the content to the iPad.

  • Can i change apple id to update a game? if its possible how i can change it? if its not possible why in this generation why its not possible?

    can i change apple id to update a game? if its possible how i can change it? if its not possible why in this generation why its not possible?

    You can't. All apps, and any other content from the store, are tied to the account that downloaded them, and they will remain tied to that account - so only the account that bought/downloaded an app can download updates to an app. Are you having problems downloading an app update via the app's own account ?

  • HT5622 how can we change apple id username...??

    How can we change apple if username

    You can change the non-Apple email address which forms your Apple ID and hence your login to the various facilities such as iTunes, iCloud and these forums - is that what you mean?
    To do this go to http://appleid.apple.com and click on 'Manage your Apple ID'.
    If you mean the user name which appears in these forums - melvinthms - you can't change that other than by obtaining a new Apple ID and signing into a new account in the forums.

    if I delete my account on my iphone/ipad to log on with the new details, won't it delete the 'data on this device associated with this account' or will it all be still there when I log on with new id?
    If you log out, it will ask if you want to delete the data on your advice.
    All data will remain in iCloud.
    Login back in with new AppleID will restore it.

  • How can i change Apple id on the administrator account?

    I recently got an imac with the mac mini. I am switching over to mac from being a lifelong pc user, so this is new to me. When i first set up the computer i put in the apple id with my email address, but it was the same one that i use for my ipad.  I am now trying to change this because when someone else is on the imac and i try to face time with them from the imac to my ipad it wont let me because i am basically calling myself. Or when i send messages through the messaging app from the imac to my another persons ipod it comes out with the email address that i have on my ipad. I tried to change it by going to System Preferences> Users and Groups> Change apple id. Yet when i change it and save it, it still has the old apple id. I am not sure if i am making any sense but if someone could please help me figure this out i would greatly appreciate it!
    Thanks
    Mariela

    I agree with drdocument about having one Apple ID, but I have two because Apple switched to using email addresses, so my original ID was no longer "valid" in some cases.
    Two switch the user ID, go to System Preferences/Users & Groups. After unlocking the lock, on the password tab you should see an Apple ID box. I was able to add both IDs and can switch between them.
    I hope this helps.

  • Change Apple ID on ipad, keep Game Center games and progress

    sorry if this has been answered, but atm i cant seem to find a clear answer to it.
    ill keep it as simple as possible
    about a year ago (not 100%sure when, its the newest version), my wife and I got an ipad. i didnt have an apple id, i didnt own any apple products. so we used her Apple ID on it.
    now, i got an iphone, a macbook and an ipad.. and wanna have my Apple ID on the IPad, but i really dont want to lose all my progress in the games i play in Game Center.
    is there a way to change apple id, keep game progress in GC? i dont care what happens to any other apps EXCEPT for those in GC
    thanks for all responces and answers in advance
    best regards
    Aleksander

    iin GC you can change accounts to a new one without loosing the progrecces am i right ?
    No, as I said, all the progress and everything else in your game center account is tied to the AppleID you log in with.  If you change the AppleID, that new AppleID will have none of your old accounts information.  I don't know how much plainer I can say that.

  • Can't change Apple ID on all devices

    I changed my Apple ID on my iMac from an att.net ID to a gmail ID-that worked fine.  All is well in iCloud, etc for the iMac. Now, I want to change my iPhone6 and iPad, but they are still asking me for the password for the att.net account. I did manage to get my iPad changed, when I ran across a screen that would allow me to enter both the ID and Password, but I can't find a screen that will allow me to log in with the new account on my iPhone6; every screen I see has the old account name cast in stone, and a blank space to put in the password for that account, which doesn't exist anymore. Do I have to do a factory reset just to get access to the new iCloud account? Thanks in advance for your efforts!

    This will occur if you do not sign out of all iCloud services prior to changing your Apple ID.
    Not a problem, just follow all the steps here: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    This Support document can help serve as a checklist to remind you of all the services that use an Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support

  • HT204053 need to change apple id on ipad for cloud like all my other emails has changed

    need to change apple id on my ipad for cloud to match all my email sign in names that i have changed for apple store account and etc.

    *Did you update your AppleID or did you create a new AppleID with a new emaill address?*
    Thanks, Chris for helping me. I have posted this in 6 places online and no one will touch it!
    Shitums. I can't recall, Chris. I was on the phone with Apple and they walked me through all of it. They changed my email/ID, to my new one, then I went into itunes and changed it. Then I went to settings on iPad and changed it and all was good! So we hung up.
    Then I went to update all my apps and up pops the OLD ID. BUT if you go into settings the new one is present as is on iTunes.:( I have also synced twice and backed up, thinking that would tell the iPad update thingy the new ID.
    *Go to the app store, click on Featured at the bottom, scroll all the way down, click on Account then sign out and sign in.*
    I will do this now!
    Don't forget me!
    Okay. I'm on it. This doesn't sound like something I have tried in the last 24 hours.

  • How can I change Apple ID for App Store?

    I changed my Apple ID, Itunes on my Itouch recognizes it, but the app store does not. How can I change AppleID for App Store? When I try to update my apps it asks for the password for my old Apple ID which does not exist anymore.

    Thank you for the reply. I've done that twice and have no problem getting into the ITunes store. Problem is that I have 12 apps that want to be updated. I go to App Store and slect to "update all" and first thing it does is bring up my old AppleID (no place to change it) and asks for the password for that Apple ID.
    I tried doing a sync to my computer in case that would work, but no help. I wonder if I will have to do a complete reset just to fix this???
