Changing Apple ID account

Have just changed my apple ID email account using the "Store" options in iTunes. Unfortunately my iPhone hasn't sync'd the information and remains on the old email address, hence I cannot purchase anything using the Phone.
Any thoughts anyone...please!

Just to clarify, since I have spent hours trying to find the answer, and found only a couple cryptic references which I finally decypered:
On the iGadget, go to Settings->Store.
Tap where you see your Apple ID and choose "Sign Out".
When the Apple ID is replace by "Sign In", tap it.
Tap "Use Existing Apple ID" if you are just trying to get iTunes to use your new Apple ID.
Tape "Create New" only if you really do actually want to change to a totally new Apple ID.

  • Is it possible to change IMessage accounts without changing Apple ID accounts?, How do I change IMessage accounts without changing Apple ID accounts?

    My family and I have been sharing the same Apple account for awhile now to share apps, contacts Etc.  That's great and all, but because we share the same account on multiple devices, whenever we use iMessage, all replies show up on all devices.  I wanted to keep the Apple ID, so I changed the iCloud account to mine, but when I messaged a friend, but it still popped up on everyone's device.  Is there anyway I can fix this?

    Use a free email address (gmail.com?) on each device.

  • How to change Apple ID account on iPhone

    I changed my apple id on the apple website, and I try deleting the old account in my settings to set up the new one, but it requires a password. I enter my password but it doesn't work, and the screen says apple id or password is incorrect. the apple id is incorrect but I don't know how to change it on my phone..?

    You may have to go into settings of your phone and delete icloud account. Just make sure you respond to prompts by keeping information on the phone. Once it is done, just sign in with new id.

  • How to change Apple ID account

    I bought a used iPad from a friend. I want to change the Apple ID for using iCloud.  It doesn't 'light up' on settings. I've managed to use my Apple ID on most apps, etc. I don't have his password and he is now deceased. How can I do this? Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's something that you will need the next of kin to contact AppleCare, about. I'm not sure what the procedure will be but I'm sure they will tell them.

  • IPhoto'11 changing Apple Mail account settings

    When sending a photo from within iPhoto'11's share/mail option, iPhoto requests I enter my email account password (which I do). The photo is then eventually sent, however when then accessing the separate Apple Mail application 'Mail' cannot send or retrieve email because it repeatedly requests my POP & SMTP passwords. No matter how many times I input the correct info Mail will not send/receive.
    I think that iPhoto11 is rewriting/overwriting the Mail account settings within the Mail application itself.
    The only way I can get Mail to work correctly again is to use my Time Machine backup and replace Mail's Library & preference plists settings from the day earlier.
    Mail works correctly before using iPhoto11 but when I then use iPhoto11 the above error repeats itself and it's Groundhog Day again! Aaagh!!
    Anyone have a workaround/solution to this please?

    I, too, am having this problem...as I just found out. I have been trying to email a picture from my iPhoto '11 library for the better part of an hour now. It still hasn't worked. I have verified and reverified my settings. Still no luck. I have had nothing but trouble since upgrading to '11. I'm at a loss right now--All I would like to do is email this ONE picture!

  • Itouch changing apple itune account

    thanks, m

    maryan,
    What roaminggnome said except sign in on iTunes not the iPod. Or in case you don't have a computer with you. You can go into (Settings)/(General)/(Reset)/(Reset All Settings) on the iPod Touch. Also note you will have to reconfigure all your preferences (network passwords, Restrictions, and the such).
    Note if your not signed into any account on iTunes (iTunes Store) you will be prompted for both the account name and password on the touch.
    Hope that helps,
    Weston.

  • Hi Apple Team, I would like to change the iCloud account on my iPhone, however it says I must 'delete the account' before doing so? Does this mean that I delete the entire existing account, or just delete it from my phone specifically?

  • I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks it asks for the old account's password(which my ex changed by now)

    I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks (only happens with this app)it asks for the other account's password(which my ex changed by now). I don't understand why this happens when I'm logged into my account and it only happens with that app. Please help, I need to update. :/

    Content (apps, music, ibooks, films etc) is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so if the iBooks app was downloaded using the account that you used to share with your ex then only that account can download updates to it. As it's a free app you could delete it and re-download it under your own account - and then re-download your ibooks into it (or copy the books to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them back to the app).

    I can't get FaceTime or iMessage to connect, I enter valid password (tested and works for Apple account) and it won't connect. I have checked all settings, upgrades iOS to 8.3 rebooted, changed Apple acount PW still wont connect. My internet connection is fine Safari works and I can access all sites. I have an iPad 2. Any help on this will be greatly appreciate.  iPad 2, iOS 8.3

    This is an ongoing problem as you will see by searching the forum. 
    Out of curiosity, do you have 2 step verification enabled?  It was recently extended to include iMessage & FaceTime & I'm wondering if it might be causing some of the issues that some users are experiencing.

  • I have enrolled for the apple developer program but apparently have the same account name in iBooks. I need to change the iBooks account but don't know how. Do I change my apple id? Will this cause me problems with iTunes etc etc?

    I have enrolled for the apple developer program but apparently already have an account with iBooks, cant have this it seems.how do I change my iBooks account, is this the apple id for my iPad and if I change this will it cause problems accessing iTunes etc?

    I guess nobody knows if the crash that occured was legitimate or not?  Apple phone support could do nothing for me, so I guess I am left to drive 45 minutes to the nearest store.

  • How do I change the Apple ID account on an ipad?

    I was given a first generation iPad by my son.  I managed to change the iTunes account and generate an Apple ID.  However, when going to the applications store or updating the installed software it still asks for his passwork. 
    How do I get the account for apps updates to use the correct account?

    That goes back to what I said in my first response. Unless I am misunderstanding you, those are apps that your son bought with his Apple ID, and you cannot update them with your ID. You have to use his Apple ID and password to update those apps. They will not transfer to your ID. If you sign into your own ID, you should be able to download new apps with it. - Free or paid.
    The iOS updates have nothing to do with the ID. If there was an update to the iOS, you would be able to update the iPad no matter which ID you are signed into. The pre installed apps cannot be updated individually. They are updated when the iOS is updated since they are in essence tied to the iOS. They cannot be deleted or re-installed.

  • How do I change the iMac account registered with my Apple ID?

    I recently got a new iMac and signed in with my Apple ID. I want to change the iMac account that is linked with my Apple ID which was the first one I created the first time I started up my iMac. How do I do that?

    I'm using Lion, but the premise may be the same. I've already forgotten SL.
    In System Preferences click on Accounts. In Lion it's Users & Groups. You can look in there for something to do with Apple ID and password.
    Is that what you're looking for.
