Changing iTunes account on iPad 2

To unblock my new iPad 2, the IT guy from work entered his iTunes account details.  This was because I couldn't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 7 Home Premium (I still can't - it keeps giving error 9808).
I now want open an iTunes account in my name on my iPad 2, but it keeps asking me for other other guy's password.  I have an iPad 2 general user's account with correct details and password,  but it doesn't show on iTunes.
How can I cancel the old account and enter the correct details?

Thankyouthankyouthankyou!  I'm not quite "into" the touch screen yet. This has been driving me crazy!  I still have a problem with iTunes on Windows7, but at least I can now download apps on the iPad.

  • Changing iTunes account on iPad Mini

    I originally set up my daughter's iPad Mini with my iTunes account because she didn't have one of her own.  Now I need to change her iTunes account from my account to her account.  How do I do that?

    Sure you can share purchases and you can share one iTunes library on one computer. I did that with my family for a couple of years. We all still share the one Apple ID for purchased content, but we all have our own MacBook Pro laptops now so we have maintain our own iTunes library.
    Let me clarify a couple of things. Sharing one computer isn't the same thing as the whole family using one Apple ID for purchases. And, you can all have different Apple IDs for iCloud and still share one Apple ID for purchases.
    Why don't you explain exactly what you want to do and explain why you want her to have her own ID.

  • I have purchased a used iPad. I would like to change iTunes account to my own?

    I have purchased a used iPad. I would like to change iTunes account to my own - how do I do this and will I lose the apps that are already on there? Seems a shame - there is some nice stuff on it!

    Restore the iPad with iTunes as a new iPad.
    All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps. In order to install an app update for an app that was downloaded with the previous owner's iTunes account, you need to know the password for the previous owner's iTunes account. This is to prevent stealing purchased apps. If any of the apps are free, you can download the apps with your iTunes account. For any paid apps, you need to purchase the apps with your iTunes account.

    iTunes will need to be set up on your computer however you can set up a new Apple ID to use for your iPhone. Really all you need to do is Assign a new Apple ID to your iCloud account.
    Follow the link to create a new Apple ID: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    After you do that, on the device you want to assign a new iCloud account go: Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and then sign in with the new Apple ID.
    NOTE: This does not effect iTunes, all of your devices can continue to use one shared iTunes account under your original Apple ID for downloading apps and backups. This simply gives iCloud a place to sync the individual devices information and will stop iCloud form merging all the information, such as contacts, with all of your devices.

  • HT201272 Help - have an iTunes account on iPad for well over a year. Just bought iPhone 5 and I cannot purchase apps using my account. I am asked to verify my credit card and details but then it rejects them. They are still fine on the iPad. Any ideas?

    I tried to contact support but they do not recognise my Thai phone number.
    the Thai support site is all in Thai (and I neither read or write it).
    All I want is a single email address that works - it must be quite a simple process.
    I don't want to create another account with another credit card - life will just get seriously complicated then.
    BTW my apple I'd is accepted for downloading free apps!!!

    First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
    Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
    Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
    What computer do you have?

  • HT1918 will i lose my music and apps when i change itunes account

    can i change itunes account info and keep all my downloaded music?

    Why would you make a new itunes account?
    All of your purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchasd.  You will need to authorize your computers for that account.

  • HT1918 Change iTunes account from Master Card to the Free account

    Change iTunes account from Master Card to the Free account

    You won't be able to redownload any of your UK purchases whilst you are in the US, you have to be in a country to use its store - and you can't merge purchases from two accounts or countries. No content should be removed from your device or computer's iTunes library if you change the country on your account, or create a new account and log into it.

  • IPad 2 unable to Change iTunes account

    I recently changed my iTunes account on my iPad 2, however every time I try to update any apps, it brings up the old one which is no longer mine. Nor do I have access to use it. Does anyone know what I have to do to fix this? I cannot update anything and I am unable to use most of the apps because I haven't been able to update them.

    Apps and all purchased content are forever tied to the ID used to purchase the content. If you created a new Apple ID rather than changing the old ID, you cannot update the content with the new ID. You need the old ID and password in order to update those apps.
    If you no longer have access to that ID, your only option is to delete the apps and purchase them again with the new ID.
    If you really did change the ID. And not create a new one, you need to sign into the changed ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap the old ID and sign out, then sign in with the new one.

  • Changing iTunes account

    I have just had a replacement iPad 1 as my last one packed up. I set it up on my husbands mac and it has added all his email/iTunes to it. I want to use my iTunes account and email but cant work out how to change it now. Any help greatly appreciated.

    Go to "settings" and scroll down to "store". Here you can log in with your itunes account.

  • Changing iTunes account on my iPhone......How?

    I have read virtually all of the previous questions on this and, either I don't understand them or the answer isn't here. I have had an iTunes account since day one with my Mobile Me account name, but the account on my iPhone and maybe even my iPad is another email address (which is mine, but not the Apple id). I need to tell my iPhone and iPad that the Mobile Me address is the correct one. I think it is because of this that I have had trouble updating new iTunes releases, like 4.3.3. Could you tell me how to change the iTunes address on the iPad and iPhone to the Apple address on my iMac. Thanks

    You can't, and it is illegal for you to keep those apps or for the previous iPhone owner to transfer them to you. First time you try and sync, they will be erased from your phone, as they should be.

  • Changing iTunes account to another country

    I recently bought my teenage son an iPod when he was on holiday with me in the UK. We created an iTunes account for him and I gave him some credit to spend on apps. Now that he is back at home in Denmark, he cannot access the Danish App Store because whenever he logs in, it takes him to the UK store. This is a problem because his English is not at all good. He tried to create a new account in Denmark, but it would not let him because his email address is being used by the other account. He ended up creating a new account using his mother's email address. So all of his new apps are in his mother's name, but his other ones are owned by his English account. He would also like to change the registration of his iPad to his Danish account when he finally figures out how to do this. His current account is in his name, but at my address in the UK. Can anyone help?

  • Changing ITunes Account for Apps

    How do I change my Itunes account for apps? When I go to update my apps, it still has my old account (my password does not work) and I have since created a new account (divorce issues). I have made a new password request for my old account and I do not get an email from Apple to do so. Everything else on my iphone is under my new account (Itunes, store, etc).
    VERY FRUSTRATING!

    How do I change my Itunes account for apps?
    You can't. Apps are DRM protected & tied to the account used to originally purchase them. Contact iTunes support & request they add the apps in question to your download queue for your new account. Explain the situation & most likely, they will do so:

  • How to change itunes account from one account holder to another

    I have 2 profiles on my Mac. iTunes is on both, but my music library is only on one of them. How do i move this library to the other profile, as i want to delete the profile it is on.
    on the old account, move the iTunes folder to HD/users/shared. on the other account, moved it from shared to the music folder, overwriting the iTunes folder in place there.
    fire up iTunes while pressing option and click on +choose library+. navigate to the iTunes library file (in the iTunes folder you just moved).
