Changed my Apple User Name (email address) and home sharing no longer works?, Changed my Apple User Name (email address) and home sharing no longer works?

I've had the 2nd generation Apple TV since this past October when it was released and it has worked fine until I recently changed my Apple User Name (email address). After changing my user name my Apple TV and iPhone 4 no longer find my shared network. Home sharing is enabled on all devices, including my Sony Vaio Laptop, iPhone4, and Apple TV 2nd generation. Everything else has remained constant, including service provider, router, modem, and internet security (Trend Micro). Also, my library is on a networked hard drive, which didnt seem to make a difference before, but I figured I'd mention it. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Winston,
Thank you for the information. He confirmed that the ID and password are the same on every device. This only started happending when he changed his User Name with Apple.
--Itunes is running on a Windows Vista Machine (Sony Vaio)
--He has an Apple TV (2nd Gen)
--He has an iPhone 4
Can you tell me more about the technologies that apple uses to make "homesharing" work? Do you think he may need to remove then re-install Bonjour?

Apple changed my Apple ID to the email address associated with my iTunes account. I now can no longer access my account because the old user name is no longer valid and has no password. I have been on the phone with tech support for hours trying to fix.

Is this itunes on the iPad or on my computer? Thank you for the reply.

HT204053 I changed my internet service provider and no longer have the email that is the user name for my apple id. Is this just anecdotal, or is it going to cause me problems in the future? I no longer receive any of the mail sent to that address.

At first I thought I had to change the user name on my apple id, but I guess that is not possible. If I want my apple id to be linked to my current email address which is a gmail, I guess I am basically creating a new apple id, with all the complications that brings, right?
I have the same issue with my iCloud.
Should I do anything about this?

Roger, thank you. I wish I had sent out this question a month ago, when I committed the folly of creating another apple id with my alternate email address. Since then, I had realized that I didn't seem to need it, hence today's post.
So now what do I do? Is there anyway to delete that unecessary apple id?
And it is even worse than that...the secondary address listed currently in our apple id is a mobile me one that my husband created, but never uses, never checks, and probably doesn't even remember the password for.

Had to change my Apple ID because the original email address is no longer valid. How do I change the iCloud user name on iMac? I found instructions about signing out of iCloud and signing back end. It asks questions about contact, etc.

Had to change Apple ID due to email address no longer valid. Trying to change id for icloud...saw direction online about signing out of icloud and signing back in...when it ask questions about contacts, photos, etc. being deleted how do I answer those? That just sort of freaks me out.

For the ones that give you an option, select the option you want (keep on the Mac or Delete). For the ones that are simply warning you, click on Delete from Mac.
They will all come back when you sign back on, since all you did was change your existing Apple ID to a new email address. It's the same iCloud account, just with a different name.
It's the only way to get your updated ID signed onto iCloud.

My iCloud password is not recognized when I sign in. This password works for every other iTunes/Apple app as it should. My user name comes up when I open iCloud and I change it to my email address as my username then enter the password and it won't accept

All i want to do is sync my phone to iCloud.

Hello jwpg,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing after restoring an iCloud backup. I recommend the following articles for an issue like this:

I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

You have to clear saved password for this page:
# Open you login page (where you have to enter username and password).
# Right click on page and select '''Page Info''' form context menu.
# On last tab ('''Security''') there is '''View saved passwords''' button, click it and delete all saved passwords for this page.
# Also clear all related cookies (just in case) there is button for this next to first one.

Ok, I have changed the names of my iPads to each be different- but no matter what I do, the Apple ID comes up the old email address on the old iPad and will not let me update Apps, purchase , etc,

I have used your info to give my two iPads different names. My problem is that my old iPad still has the old email in the Apple ID pop up so it will not let me sign in. I checked my info in the manage my account page and there is my email as primary, which allows me to sign in for apps, etc on the newiPad air, but when I try to update or buy an App on the old iPad, the old email is in the pop up and will not let me sign in.
How do I change the email in the old iPad to match the new iPad????
The Old email is on my manage my account page as a verified ALTERNATE email.

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
Have you created a new account or updated your existing account ? All content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, so if you have created a new account then all of your existing downloads will remain tied to your old account.
If you've updated your existing account then try tapping on the id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and log out of it and then log back in with the updated id so as to 'refresh' the account on it.

I plugged in my husbands iphone 4 into my laptop and synced it to my laptop and phone with my apple ID. Now his phone has my email address and my name and my contacts on it! big booboo How can I change it all back to him!?

I plugged in my husbands iphone to my laptop and synced it to mine. I used my own apple ID. Big mistake. Now he has my name, email address,contacts etc on his phone and lost his... how do I correct this?

You'll have to set up his mail account again. To change the name, follow this article: iTunes: How to rename your device
After that right click on it in the device list and choose backup. A manual backup will be made, no sync process is included. When the backup is finished you should find it listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices

After I converted to OS5, the iCloud user name on my iPad is set to my email address, not my iCloud User ID. How can I change it. It's correct on my iPhone and MacBook.

You'll need to save the documents first from the incorrect iCloud account, sign out then sign in to the correct iCloud account and upload the documents to that account.

My iPad has the wrong User name, picked up an old email address/Apple ID. How do I change it?

My iPad picked up a second (old) Apple ID and I need to change it. I have disconnected the network that the email address was tied to, but I don't know how to change the iPad User ID to the current Apple ID. It is an ongoing problem with Apple, but once you have more than one Apple ID, it follows you forever, apparently. Right now, I just want to edit my iPad, and give it my current Apple ID. I am nervous about just hitting the reset options unless I know what I am getting into. I would appreciate any guidance.

Settings > iTunes & App Store > Sign Out.
Sign in with the correct ID.

Call Apple and ask for Account Security.

When I try to sign in to the support community using one of my e-mail addresses and I put in nothing or what I thought was my apple support community user name I can get one of several messages
Ie.1. Please specify a user name
2.An account using this e-mail address already exists; only one account per e-mail address is allowed on Apple Support Communities
How do I find out what my Apple Support Communities user name is

Good luck with this!!!

How can I change my iCloud email account? My apple ID was correctly changed but my @me account and @icloud account addresses need updated to reflect my married name.

My apple ID was correctly changed but my @me account and @icloud account addresses need updated to reflect my married name.

I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.
