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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Different Apple ID's stuck in iPhone and MBP. Also, want to change iTunes account email.

    Hi,
    I just got my first Macbook Pro (YAY!!), and after fiddling around with it for a couple of days I would like to take advantages of the features of syncing with iCloud in my new hardware and my iPhone 4 (basicly clean up account stuff and enable stuff like Photostream).
    I have two Apple ID's.
    My [email protected] is used on my new Macbook Pro for iCloud: contacts, calendars, bookmarks, photostream, doc's and data and Find My Mac. It is also used on my iPhone 4 for contacts, calendars, reminders and Find My iPhone.
    My [email protected] is used on my Macbook Pro for Mail & Notes, Calendars and Chat. It is also used on my iPhone 4 for iCloud: contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks, photostream, doc's and data and Find My iPhone.
    To me it seems like my two Apple ID's are contributing with the same things from multiple sides etc. My hotmail used to be my primary email, but I've changed and started using google's services more (especially mail, notes, contacts and calendar). I would like to remove hotmail as primary mail from my devices and use my gmail account as primary instead, and at the same time of course redirect my visa from my hotmail iTunes account to my gmail Apple ID. I will still add my hotmail to get the mail in my iOS and OSX mail native mail programs, but only as a "secondary" account attachment.
    I've been reading about these topics of merging multiple ID's as well as the answer to this question https://discussions.apple.com/message/16400957#16400957 , but I can't figure out where to start and what to do. Can anyone please help me, let me know what to do, in which order or point me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Esben
    Ps. I've attached a screenshot of my iPhone 4's settings under @Mail, Contacts, Calendar@, hoping it makes it clearer what is on my iPhone, than I were in the text.

  • 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.

  • Change iTunes account Email Address on iPhone

    Hi,
    I have read a lot of posts in here about this but none seem to fix my problem.
    I have changed my email address in iTunes account. I have synced iTunes with my iPhone.
    But when I try and buy something my old email address appears on the iPhone iTunes store and it won't let me buy anything.
    How can I change the email address the iPhone uses for purchasing things?

    I accually called them and was on the phone for like two hours trying to fix it. Do you have an apple id? if so you can use that to buy a free song and then synce the phone and then after that try to buy something and your apple id name should come up. I was using my aol email address and then for some reason it stoped working and I couldnt bye anything. I did that and now I can buy stuff again..hope this helps

  • How do I change the itunes account my iphone is linked to?

    My wife and I both have Itunes accounts but somehow my iphone is linked to her account. I simply want to link my iphone to my account and can't discover how to do this. Should be very simple I guess but if i try and edit her ID on Itunes by putting mine in, it says that I can't as my ID is already in use!! Aagh!

    My recommendation would be to set this up as a brand new iPhone, just as if it came out of the box.
    Do that in Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings
    You will then be directed to the welcome to iPhone screen, just as you would with a brand new device.

  • 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:

  • Changing Itunes account settings over internet

    Hi
    Odd situation. We have emigrated and our mac is happily travelling by boat to Australia. We have also just bought an iphone.
    Problem is that I have cancelled the credit card that is associated with the itunes account so need to change it to a new card, but don't have my mac. Is there a website in Apple where I can change this, or can I do it on any other mac? Don't want o make life complicated for me when I reset the old mac up.
    Thanks
    Sam

    Three years ago, I joined .mac and have an Apple ID there, as well.
    I'm switching internet providers, and will thus soon lose the email account that my iTunes account is liked with.
    Change the AppleID to the your new email account. Go here -> https://appleid.apple.com
    The iTunesID can stay what it is, even if you do not have the same email. It is simply the name of the iTunes account.
    Change the email used in the iTunesID. In iTunes, select Store then click on the Account name at top right.
    Select View account and update your email address.
    My question is, can I change my iTunes account over to my other Apple ID, the one associated with my .mac account?
    No. For whatever reasons, Apple has not made this available to do. I think they should.

  • Changing iTunes Account Activation?

    I searched but didnt see anything specific.
    Is It possible to change the iTunes account after the iPhone has been activated through iTunes with AT&T? For example, I have an iPhone now, but say I wanted to use a different iTunes account can I change that without reactivating, or will I have to reactive the phone all over again just to change the account?
    Thanks

    The AT&T activation of the iPhone and your iTunes account are two different things. The only issue with creating a new iTunes account is that if you have any music/videos synced to the iPhone, you will get a warning if you try to sync the iPhone to this new library. If that is the library you want, then you can choose to delete the music from the first library. You will not have to reactive the phone.
