Change of apple ID details for updating
When I initially setup my PC I registered it with an apple account which it prompts for when wanting to update software and also apps, I would now like to change this to use a different account.
How do I go about it?
You are referring to your AppleID, btw a Windows PC's are normally referred to as PC. Macs are referred to by their models, for example iMac, Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air etc...
To reset theAppleID please carefully read:

to create a new Apple ID please carefully read:

How do I change the apple Id used for updating apps and downloading them
I bought an iPad from someone and I changed the apple ID but for some reason when I try to update the apps the old apple ID comes up from the previous owner ...........I just need to know how I possibly can change it
You cannot. Purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID and its account used when making the purchase. You cannot transfer purchases.
The reality is you do not own the apps on that iPad - the previous owner does. If you want them for yourself and want to be able to update them as needed, or re-download them as needed, you will have to delete the copies on the iPad, then purchase them with your own AppleID. -
My iPod touch was stolen and recovered. I can use my Apple id for this site but the theif changed the Apple id needed to update apps etc and I do not know how to delete his acct. Any help with this will be greatly appreciate
If the thief enabled activation lock on the device, then there is nothing that can be done. Only the password for the Apple ID that it is locked with can disable activation lock.

How do I change my Apple ID/email for cloud?
Most of the people on these public forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here. I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses from your post.
If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the phone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it. -

Wrong Apple ID: How do I change the Apple ID prompt when Updating All Apps?
How can I change the (wrong) Apple ID from the password prompting dialogue when I am already signed in Apple Store with my own ID?
More details of my problem:
When I try the Apps' Update-All option in my iPod 4, the password dialogue prompts me with my girlfriend's Apple ID; YET, I AM signed in the Apple Store with MY own Apple ID.
I have already verified my ID under Settings/Store. I have also signed out, signing back in with my Apple ID, just in case. No problems there, for I DO sign in with my own ID ok. The problem is just the prompt dialogue for password, when I try to use the 'Update All' feature it prompts me for password with her ID, not mine.
If I go back to Apps and choose the Categories (or Top25) menu, at the bottom of the page, it shows me signed in (my Apple ID). If I try to update one Apps it will do ok. But if I try to Update All it will prompt me for password using her ID, waiting for me to type in HER password. I cannot change the Apple ID on that dialogue (static). If I use my password, it will return the "wrong password" dialogue.
How can I change the prompt for the Update All? What is going on here that I AM signed in but my iPod prompts me with her ID. My iPod is registered under my Apple ID. I have already tried the Hard reset by pressing Home and Power buttons simultaneously, to no avail. I am also using my own network to go Online. I am also with the latest OS in my iPod and my Mac's iTunes.
Thank you!
PS This problem is not occurring in my iPhone 4 (same account) nor my Macs.Does not work for me. (My iPhone is not jailbroken.)
I downloaded a paid app "Imray Marine Rules and Signals v1.5" in the USA with my original account (Account1) then moved countries and needed to create a new Apple account (Account2). If I get 'Info' for the app, it is registered to Account1.
A new version 1.6 of the Imray app has now been released.
I have set up only Account1 on the iphone (settings - App Store) and both Account1 and Account2 in iTunes on my computer. My iphone always tells me there is 1 app to update. However, when I try to update this app on my iphone, I get asked for the password for Account2, then the download fails as it says I do not have a paid earlier version to update.
When I am logged into my computer iTunes as Account1 and try to update it on the computer iTunes, it says there are no apps to update (although my version of the app is definitely the old version).
When I search for the app in iTune Store, it tells me I have already downloaded version 1.6 of the app and the download button is grayed out.
If I temporarily delete the app from my iTunes then try to re-download, I am asked to purchase it again.
If I log into iTunes as Account2 then try to download it, I am asked to purchase it.
Any ideas? I feel I have tried every option and no success. -
How do I change an Apple ID just for one device, an iPod Touch?
Hello, all...I recently purchased my nephew (I'm his guardian and am raising him) a brand new iPod Touch for his 13th birthday. I activated the device using my Apple ID (which I also use for my iMac, iPhone and Macbook Air). I'm thinking now about changing his iPod over to a different Apple ID to keep my iCloud "pure" (for lack of a better word), with just my stuff on it, and because his iPod is mysteriously picking up text messages to me that are supposed to go to (and which still do go to) my iPhone. Is it possible to change the Apple ID for just that one device, the iPod and, if so, how does one do that? I have several e-mail accounts/addresses that I could use instead of the one I use for my current Apple ID. I'm technology-challenged in the worst way, so your help/advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
CHANGE ID
The ID is used in the following locations and you have to change them.
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
Settings>iCloud
and Settings>iTunes and App store
You have to sign out of ID (for iCloud you delete the iCloud account from the iPod) and sign in with other ID.
Note the following are resolved if you use Family Sharing (iOS 8 and later):
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
If the iPod has iOS 7 or later then you have the enter the password for Apple ID presently sign in Settings>iCloud.
Also, a Restriction can be set (Settings>General>Restrictions) the prevents changing accounts -
How do you change wrong apple Id only on update apps.
I recently changed my email address and in turn changed my apple I'd. My apple I'd changed successfully on iTunes store, iBooks and app store, but when I try to add the periodic app updates my old apple I'd pops up leaving me unable to update. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or has anyone have this problem? Help...
Apps are DRM protected & tied to the account used to originally obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another iTunes account & must be updated using the same account used to originally obtain them. You will either have to use that old account to update these apps, or you can contact iTunes support & request they be added to the download queue of your new account:

Apple mail asking for "update" of my credit card information. Could this be a fraud?
I received a mail from Apple, asking me to follow a link in order to update my information with Apple iTunes.
The mail looks very original and trustworthy, however, I don't understand what "account" I'm supposed to give my information to, nor do I recognise the email address being an apple customer service address, as it said: [email protected]
The link in this mail had the following address: apple.itunnes.tfain.com
In the left side of the form that also asked for details of name, address and credit card number, expery date, and security code, the following was stated below a red sign:
Attention Needed
Due to recent updates we are asking many of our customers to confirm their information this is nothing to worry about.
.... and it ends:
Failure to comply with this may result in your account being suspended
Is this really coming from apple?It's a hoax. Forward the email to: [email protected]
Then delete the email.
Apple will never send you email asking you to update your credit card information.
Failure to comply with this may result in your account being suspended
That's just a scare tactic. -
Different apple id shows for updates on mac for iPhoto and iMovie
Hi, on my Mac there are two updates available for iPhoto and iMovie however the update requires me to use my old apple ID which I no longer use. I have checked iTunes, iCloud and the App store and my current apple ID is used for all of them. I don't understand why my old apple ID keeps showing up, I can't sign out of it because it doesn't give me that option.
I'm really confused, please help me out!!!Those applications have the old Apple ID stored inside them. It can't be changed without deleting them and then redownloading them from the desired Apple ID; in the case of preloaded applications, you may also need to contact Apple. This can be done by going to the Mac App Store main page and clicking on Support under Quick Links.

How I change my apple id in the update menu in the app store?(ipad mini)
If i want to Update my Apps in the AppStore the AppStore will ask for my Password ... now the store ask for the Password of the Apple id from my Friend (Loged in for a while ) i cant change it. Please help me :)
What account id shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPad ? If it's your friend's then tap on it and log out of it and then log in with your account - but any apps (and any other content) that were downloaded from friend's account will remain tied to their account, so only their account will be able to download updates to those apps.

How to change Mac App Store Login for Updating Apps
I purchased a used Macbook from a local computer retailer; when they installed Mavericks and setup the account they used their Mac ID. Now it's showing updates for Keynote, Numbers, Pages, and iMovie but if I choose Update it prompts their username and wont let me change it. I assume those apps are connected to that account so it wont let me update. Is there a way to change the associated login to mine or is it safe for me to remove them and reinstall using my ID? I wasn't sure if they were core apps that would cause any damage if removed and I really dont want to format and start over. Thanks for the help!
The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It is not safe to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1a. If you don't own another Mac
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Some models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you may not be able to reinstall 10.6 even from the original discs, and Internet Recovery may not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
1b. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
2. Partition and install OS X
If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In thePartition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
3. Other issues
If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. -

I have used a @yahoo email address for 10 years as my apple ID when purchasing things. The biggest problem being, that at some point, yahoo decided to delete the email account and I can't use it. I would like to use my email addresses that I actually use (@me, @gmail), but I guess I used them at some point to log into gamecenter or some other useless apple thing. I know you can change the email associated with your account, but apple is showing that my emails are already in use, so I can't use them for this purpose.Change the email you used in "gamecenter or some other useless apple thing" then change your AppleID.
