    changed apple id will not change on itunes

    It is one or the other - an entirely new Apple ID or a change to the existing.
    If an entirely new Apple ID, all apps include DRM protection that is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps. You will need to use the former Apple ID and password to update apps that were downloaded with that Apple ID if an entirely new Apple ID was created.

  • HT202667 If I change my Apple ID, will my iCloud email also change?

    Today I went to change the email of my apple ID and it caused chaos throughout all of my devices. If I were to change my Apple ID (the email address), will the iCloud email also change?

    That depends
    Is your Apple ID the same as your iCloud account? Not ending in @iCloud.com
    Then Yes
    Does your Apple ID end in @iCloud.com
    No, you can’t change that one.
    Is the iCloud account account linked to your Apple ID not ending in @iCloud.com
    Then yes.

  • Change apple id and removing girlfriends apps

    Just bought new i iphone4, brought home started setting up and synced it on my girlfriends computer.
    I now have all her apps, and i want to delete them, because i cant update them or buy others because her apple id appears every time i try to update or install new ones. I have gone to settings and changed apple id over to mine, but this doesn't help on her apps in trying to update them.
    I really just want to start fresh even if i lose all her apps so i can buy new ones with my apple id account.
    Please help

    On your phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. That should take but a minute or two & when finished, the phone will look just like it did when first taken out of the box. Plug it into your computer/iTunes account, name it what you want & sync your content to the phone. It's not permitted under the EUSLA for you to have your girlfriends content on your phone anyway. If you're gonna use the same computer, create a separate computer login for yourself. This will insure there is no chance your content/data is intermingled.

  • HT201320 Changed apple ID and my icloud account. Ever since this change, I am unable to access my email?

    I changed my apple ID and my icould account. Ever since this change, i am unable to access my email. everytime i open my Yahoo Inbox, I get this msg saying "Cannot Get Mail" "The connection to the server failed". but 'm on wifi and can access all sorts of pages and games. My Cellular data for my email is "on"
    The email opens but it does not upload new emails.

    If you use iCloud as well, you can try adding it back to your accounts as well.  I have 7 email accounts (including iCloud and a Yahoo account) in mail on my iPhone and iPad and have no problems with them.  I suspect it was not removing iCloud that fixed your problem, it was the re-entering the Yahoo account login credentials (maybe they just got corrupted - could be as simple as that).
    If you do add iCloud back, and it causes problems right away with your Yahoo, then you should send a ticket in to the iCloud support folks as that would seem to be something not working correctly?

    Also if you actually deleted the iCloud account, remember you can keep the account, and just disable it for mail in the iCloud settings (so you can keep using iCloud for other features even if you do not want to use iCloud mail).

  • HT204053 Changing Apple ID email to iCloud address

    Hello everyone,
    I am in the process of trying to make the switch to iCloud for all my email, calendar, contacts and other needs from Google. I was using a Google account linked to my own domain but since Google has now disabled Exchange email for new devices I decided to make the switch to iCloud for all my services.
    I have several issues now with this process and am unable to find solutions in Apple's support pages.
    1. I created an @icloud.com email address to allow use of some iCloud services with my previous Google email Apple ID ([email protected]), I had no intention of using this for email so it's an address I don't want. I've created a new email alias in my iCloud account with an email address I would like to use but I want to remove all trace of the original unwanted email address. Is this possible? This original email is also listed as my 'Alternate Apple ID' which I don't want. Basically, I have an iCloud email address with '[email protected]' and want it to be the only email address associated with the account.
    2. I want to change my Apple ID email address to my new '[email protected]' email alias but I am told it can't be an email address associated with an Apple-owned domain. Is there any way around this? It seems strange that in order to use Apple services I must have an email account with someone else.
    Thanks for any help or ideas,
    John

    Slight update:
    1. Basically I would like my new '[email protected]' alias email to be the primary email address for my 'Alternative Apple ID' and the only email address associated with this alternative ID. It's not so critical to change my Main Apple ID as long as I can edit the address of the alternative one associated with iCloud.

  • I cannot sign onto my iclould account.  ID is not correct.  Changed apple ID and password, icloud is still showing old ID when attempting to enter on iphone.

    I cannot purchase items in the APP store as well.  Indicated password is incorrect.  Changed in itunes and and can access information there with ID and passwork, cannot purchase or get app's to recognize current password on any device. 
    Icloud will not recognize password as well, cannot get to icloud on phone to do anything. 

    This Apple Help page provides contact information for various countries for security problems with an Apple ID:

  • I have changed Apple ID -will my apps still update ?

    I have an iPhone 5 and I've got apps from an historic Apple ID loaded on the device. I have decided today to change my Apple ID to the same one as my iCloud so I am only using one Apple ID. My question is will I be notified of updates for the apps downloaded under the old id ?

    It is one or the other - an entirely new Apple ID or a change to the existing.
    If an entirely new Apple ID, all apps include DRM protection that is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps. You will need to use the former Apple ID and password to update apps that were downloaded with that Apple ID if an entirely new Apple ID was created.

  • If I change Apple ID will I lose all my contacts

    My husband and I share an Apple ID and are separating accts, but don't want to lose my contacts

    Having just changed my Apple ID to separate myself from my son who was sharing my ID I can tell you how to handle this in IOS7.  I went to the Apple web site and established my new ID.
    I followed the advice on this support page to change my Apple ID  Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
    I then followed the advice on this page to update the ID on my device Sign in with a different Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    IMPORTANT!!!! When you delete your iCloud for your old Apple ID off your phone you will lose all your documents that are in the cloud but not your contacts that are out in the cloud.  Also, before following the directions on the"Sign in with a Different Account" page to delete the iCloud Apple ID first turn off iCloud sync on each item individually.  When you turn off the sync it will ask you if you want to keep the data on your phone.  Yes you do want this.  After turning off sync individually Delete the iCloud account for the old Apple ID.  Then when you then sign into iCloud with your new Apple ID select the Merge option and it will upload all your contacts and data to the iCloud account for your new Apple ID.
    If you simply Delete your iCloud account it will delete all your contacts off your phone.  If you delete iCloud without first turning sync off Contacts and your contacts are then deleted off your phone, don't worry.  Simply log back into iCloud with your old account and your contacts will be restored.  Then you can turn off the sync on all items, Delete the old account from iCloud, sign in with the new apple Id, select Merge iPhone data.  So it puts your contacts and data from your phone into your new iCloud account.

  • Changing apple id for the icloud

    My family of four currently shares one Appleid which is becoming a problem as we dont want to share contacts etc across our iphones. How do I switch the common apple id (that each of our phones is now using) so that each phone now has its own unique id? As I am a bit thick I may need step-by-step instructions. Thanks!!!

    Everyone needs their own Apple ID(verifiable email address) for iCloud. Everyone can still use the same ID for iTunes content, but for the rest, they need separate iD's. You can create an Apple ID here:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US
    So, create separate Apple ID's for everyone other that who ever owns the existing Apple ID. Then delete the iCloud accounts on each phone & setup with the new ID's.

  • Change Apple ID login to iCloud e-mail

    I recently abandoned Gmail because my username/password were among the leaked list.
    Unfortunately I created my Apple ID with my Gmail address, but I want to change it to my iCloud e-mail address. The website tells me I can't use a domain that is owned by Apple, but I don't want to stay with Gmail, nor do I wish to use any other e-mail service providers.
    Is there no way that I can use my iCloud e-mail address for my Apple ID? I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks.

    No.  You'll have to choose a different non-Apple email provider if you don't want to use Gmail.

  • TS2972 Apple TV will play some content but not other content

    My AppleTV will recognize the available content on my computer and will play some of it, but when I try to watch other content it says that I must authorize the computer.  However, the computer is already authorized, which Apple TV sees because it will play my music and a TV show I've downloaded.  The content that it will not play was downloaded directly onto my iPad, and I can watch it on my iPad.  When I try to watch it on Apple TV, it says I need to authorize the computer. 
    This is very frustrating.  Any ideas on how I can fix this?

    Just needed to Re-authorize the computer and every thing worked fine. I imagine this will solve most of the issues that I see posted on here concerning this problem.

  • Change apple id on my icloud

    Hi
    After my last update i have not  been able to update using my icloud account.
    On my phone settings (iphone 4) it is configured with an email that i no longer use ( another internet provider)
    So, when i try to reset i cannot reach the mailaccount in which apple sends the email.
    How can i change this emailaccount with an email which i actually use?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    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.

  • Change Apple ID--will data be lost?

    Here's the situation:
    My wife has long used my AppleID. She has a new phone now (iPhone 6) and wants to get her own ID. I'm worried about losing her contacts info and other data as we set up the new phone.
    She does have her own Apple ID. I see on the old phone, in iCloud, that I can delete the original AppleID off that device. But will that delete her contacts and other items? None of the iCloud options are checked--her contacts and all else is on her phone, not in the cloud.
    What is the right way to migrate to a new ID?
    --Darin

    O.K., here's what I did. I backed up her old phone, just in case, and deleted the iCloud account. Her contacts were unaffected. Signed in under the new AppleID and turned on all the iCloud settings. Now waiting for eveything to back up, then we'll turn on the new phone.
    I wish the warning Apple gives wasn't so scary and cryptic...this was easy...
    --Darin

  • If I use a different icloud and apple ID, will my icloud information be availible to people wi th my apple id?

    I have my son is using my itunes ID and account.  If I have a different Icloud account ID will he be able to access my Icloud information(docs. files, addresses, etc)?

    No, they're not linked. Only the iPhoto application is, and you'll only be asked for her password if updating it.
