Changing Apple Account on iPhone

My mother-in-law's iPhone was set up using her daughter's Apple account.  Now, they want to remove the daughter's Apple account from the iPhone and have mother-in-law get her own Apple account on the phone.
1.  Is this possible?
2.  How do you do this?
I thought about that mother-in-law needs to write down all of the apps she currently has on her phone, so she knows what she'll need to download/buy to put back on her phone.

Yes, it will be necessary to download all apps again after changing the Apple ID.
You change it in Settings/Store.
BTW, the apps purchased with a different Apple ID will continue to work, but it will be necessary to enter the old accoun's password when updating them.

    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Yes you can continue to use the former ID for the iTunes Store.
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • How to change apple id on iPhone. Wife and I have same apple ID.  Get each others iMessages. want to put her on another cloud with different id.

    How to change apple id on iPhone? Wife and I have same apple ID which causes me to get her iMessages instead of her. I also get all her pics on my phone and I don't want them.  We need to change her apple ID without causing my ID and cloud to be closed.

    Have her create a new ID.   Here:  https://appleid.apple.com/
    Have her log out of iMessage/Facetime/iCloud on her device.   Now have her use the new ID she has created.
    That should keep the 2 of you separated, except for iTunes purchases.   You can share that ID in a family up to 5 devices.

  • Changing iTunes account on iphone

    I purchased a used iphone and did a restore to factory settings but when I still connect to the app store it brings up the previous owner's email address. I put the correct account in iTunes on the computer and synced. New apps were added on the sync but you can't from the app store on the phone.

    Here is the official Apple article about changing the account: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
    If that doesn't help, you could try Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings and then restore and sync the phone again.

  • TS3988 Change iCloud account on iPhone

    My iPhone iCloud account is set up under an old email. Have changed email and updated through Apple online but can't get the change to happen on iPhone. There doesn't seem to be any way to overwrite the email address that's already on iPhone in iCloud Setting. Sort of a problem if I want to use Find my iPhone!

    To change the iCloud ID ("email address") 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.
    When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this happens, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go tohttps://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 iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back tohttps://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.

  • How to change Apple ID on Iphone 5S without email and password

    Hi, my Iphone's Apple ID is using an old email I can't access and I don't have the password. Plus not sure why, it doesn't have my correct birthday for verification. I have literally spent 12 hours overall trying to remedy this. Does anyone have a solution?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    OK, then if it is the same Apple account with just a new ID then you need to do this to get rid of the iCloud account under the old ID:
    1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and change the Apple ID back to the old ID (this is temporary - do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password): Apple - My Apple ID
    2.     Go to Settings>iCloud and delete the iCloud account that has the old ID. Use your current Apple ID password when asked, then follow the prompts to delete the account
    3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the new ID (you may have to verify it again)
    4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign onto iCloud with the new ID
    Cheers,

  • How do i set up apple account on iphone to use icloud between my iphone and ipad

    how can i set up apple account on my iphone 4 so i can use icloud between my iphone and ipad

  • Two separate Apple accounts for iPhone but one iPad - can we get apps from both accounts to iPad?

    My wife and I have our own apple accounts (for our iphones) but share (or fight really!) over the only iPad.
    Is it possible to download Apps from both our accounts onto the Ipad, or would this violate the T&C and so not possible?
    Any thoughts most welcome.
    cheers.

    It doesn't violate any terms and conditions, but if you associate the iPad with another Apple ID by downloading any past purchases using that other ID, you lock yourself out of the first ID for 90 days. You can read this for more information and decide if you want to associate the iPad with another ID.

  • How to change apple account in the ipad many times?(can't sign out)

    How to change accounts!
    I have multiple accounts not me but the whole family has apple accounts since we all are apples. Anyway everyone has a no credit card account except my dad. His account is synced in my sisters iPad. My dad changed the password so that we don't buy stuff the problem is we can't sign out of our dads account! I mean when we go to ipad:setting->store we already see that its already signed in my sisters account! But the problem is whenever my sister wants to update or download a free app it gives my dads email & wants us to fill the password! We already signed out!
    We tried logging in via itunes store then syncing the ipad but nothing happened!
    The apple retail store said after you submit the email of your ipad the only solution is to format it. But here is the big problem lets say we formatted it & after few days/months etc we wanted to buy an app we couldn't change the account to our dads account! Since we already are having trouble logging out of our dads account.
    So please tell me how to change the account many times! Because I couldn't change it in the iPad nor in iTunes in my iMAC.

    The apple retail store said after you submit the email of your ipad the only solution is to format it
    Your iPad does not have an email address.
    You will need to add a CC card to verify your account. The CC info can then be removed and the account used normally.
    It would likely be easier to simply update the apps on the computer then sync the iPad.
    iTunes can be authorized for all accounts then all apps can be updated at once.

  • American Apple Account / French iPhone

    I'm an American who lives in France. My finances, Paypal account, etc are in America, so I've been using my american Apple ID in France for many years now.
    The only problem is that I have a new iPhone and there's no way to enter my French iPhone number into iTunes because it won't recognize the number with my French phone number.
    This week I had to open up an French Apple account because I'm buying a new iMac from Apple in France. If I switch to my French Apple ID, can I still access my iTunes, etc. in English?
    It gets tricky having 1 foot in 2 countries!

    Actually, there is a difference. It's perhaps the way I stated it. I'm sure an iPhone would work in any country, but a phone number, and Apple ID get tricky.
    I couldn't buy my French computer without a french Apple ID. I have a French phone number which I can't register with my American Apple ID. Maybe I need to register my iPhone with my French Apple ID and then switch to the American for synching, etc.

  • Deleting an apple account on Iphone 4

    I set up an Apple account on my iphone4 two years ago with an email account that is now closed. I can not remember my password and can't reset it via email.  I can't answer the security questions because I must have entered an incorrect DOB. I have set up a new Apple account using my current email but can't delete the old account on my phone because I need the password.  Find my phone is activated.  What do I do now? Can anyone help me?

    If there's an activation lock set, the previous owner needs to remove it. You don't need to know the password involved.
    Apple will only remove the lock if the registered owner asks and provides the original purchase receipt.
