Change itunes id on my phone

I need to change the original itunes ID on my phone. The email that comes up when I try to download apps on my phone does not exist, but when I try to download new apps it always asks for the password for that ID and won't let me download new apps. Do I have to plug my phone into my computer to change the id that comes up automatically?

Go to Settings> Store> then tap your appleID at the bottom of this screen. Choose to sign out and then sign back in with the correct appleID.

  • When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my account keeps popping up on his phone. How can we change the ID on his phone?

    When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my apple ID email address keeps popping up on his phone when he tries to download an app. We do not want to have all of the same apps on our phones. How can we change the ID on his phone? I already tried going to Settings>iTunes &App Store> and changing the Apple ID to his account email and that did not solve the problem. To make things worse, I recently changed my Apple ID email address (without getting a new ID) and I do not remember my old password (and this is the address that is popping up on his phone). He does not have any music on his phone and all of the Apps that he has are free.  Any help you could offer would be great (-:

    All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that bought them. To stop your id from popping up, you need to delete the apps on his phone, and then repurchase them under his account.

  • My iphone 4 is not being detected by any of my computers and not charging when connected to any computer.  It will, however, charge to the car or wall.  The only change that I can think of is that I downloaded a podcast from itunes directly from my phone.

    My iphone 4 is not being detected by any of my computers and not charging when connected to any computer.  It will, however, charge to the car or wall.  The only change that I can think of is that I downloaded a podcast from itunes directly from my phone.  I've since deleted this podcast with no luck.  I've restarted both the phone and the computer, still no luck.  One computer is running Vista and the other Windows 7, both have the latest Itunes Update.  Anyone have a fix for this?

    Why not upgrade to Snow Leopard, if you can?
    NO. There is no way to downgrade your iPhone OS back to iOS6. Apple makes downgrades of their mobile OS not possible.
    If you can, the only thing you can do is upgrade your Mac's OS X operating system.
    Sorry,

    Hello bigboza,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    Have a nice day,

  • Changed Email and now itunes not working on phone

    Help!  Just changed email on itunes account and now iphone won't recognize itunes and allow any downloads. It is not letting me changed the email on the phone - any ideas how to fix this?

    Did you get this resolved?  My guess would be that there is nothing wrong on the ColdFusion side but rather an "issue" with how IE is behaving.  I have noticed in some situations that I need to include the domain when authenticating to active directory in IE but not in other browsers.  So "domain\username" instead of just "username".  If this is your issue I can shed a little light on why it happens or possible steps to resolve.
    I should add that I am referring to a setup where IIS is asking for the authentication.

  • Why is the video on my phone not changing when i flip my phone?

    I have the iphone 5 and ever since i updated it with the new os , the videos on my phone dont change when i change the position of my phone. i have tried to restore it as well but still the same. earlier i used to be able to change the position of my screen. please help.

    Hey there Sparkly3gs,
    It sounds like your camera is not rotating as expected in the camera app. I want to recommend starting by quitting the running apps on the phone.
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the phone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    I would suggest before restoring from your backup setup the device as new and make sure the camera functions as expected. Then restore from your backup and verify it still works.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • How do I change ownership of an I Phone

    I recently moved in with my daughter and she gave me her I phone 4 G, because she got a new phone.  I cannot update the I phone 4  in I tunes because it wants the Serial # of the phone and it keep s coming up and saying " Veronica's I phone"  How do I change this.
    Dottie

    Open iTunes and connect the iPhone.  When it appears in the sidebar select the name field and press RETURN to activate.  Change the name to whatever you prefer.
    This does not change any settings on the phone.  It will change iTunes record of the device name used.  You will need to provide your iTunes with all the information it needs to maintain your data.  Be aware that if you sync the phone on your computer then everything currently on the phone that you don't have on your computer will be removed.  You will have to configure what you want synced to the phone.
    I suggest you get the manual: IPhone user guide.

  • Contacts and Message not showing names but numbers. Tried changing language and resetting my phone but failed. I am using Starhub in Singapore currently.

    Tried changing language and resetting my phone but failed. I am using Starhub in Singapore currently.

    The reset link will show on your account if you have a rescue email address on it, if you only have alternate email addresses then it won't show.
    If the country where you and your iTunes account are isn't on this page (you need to be in a country to use its store) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    then you can try contacting support via this page and explain that you've forgotten your answers, don't have a rescue email address, and your country isn't on the HT5699 page and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • Changed itunes apple password. iCloud asked later to put in iCloud password. Used changed apple password iCloud doesn't accept it. Tied old iCloud password does not accept that either. Don't know what to do

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    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 using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
