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.

  • How do i switch itunes accounts on my iphone?

    Is it possible to change itunes accounts from my iphone 4S??? The account i have now is known by my computer, but my phone acts like it has no idea that i got rid of the old one!!!! Now i can't upgrade or get new apps because my iphone is still using the old account. What do I do??? Please help

    All apps purchased using an Apple ID are forever tied to that ID. You cannnot merge, transfer Apple ID.
    If you need to update those apps, you have to use the same Apple ID used to purchase them.

  • 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.

    Changing your Apple ID to your current, working email address will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address.

    You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

  • How can I access my iTunes account from my iPhone.

    1- I can't access my iTunes account from my iPhone.
    Do I have to sync them or can I download the songs I bought without connecting with my macbook?
    Last time i connected the two, all my music got deleted. Must have done something wrong, but have no idea how to prevent that from happening again.
    2- My "preferences" panel in iTunes, only shows apps and books, not music- Why?
    3- I can't save any music on iClod.

    hello. 
    i followed your link on how to delete content from all things Apple, and nothing removes books, movies, music... it just gives said device(s) the iCloud/download icon on top of the book, movie...  not sure what the 'hide' purchase actually does - after X'ing/hide, everything STILL appears across all devices using that account.  could you clarify this any further?
    if i am understanding iTunes correctly, then EVERYTHING we download (free or purchased) will be FOREVER accessible with zero way for us to control what is filling up this mysterious vault called the cloud?  (creepy- apple is keeping EVERYTHING, what happens when the cloud gets full?)
    since we have iCloud.com and it shows our "stuff" that we iCloud sync from our devices such as notes, contacts, calendar... then why doesn't apple provide an iCloud.com tab that shows ALL of our purchases so we as CONSUMERS control/delete what is in our account? 
    we download ALOT of apps to try and then delete them off our devices.  that works fine, but movies and books are always there.  maybe a glitch?

  • How do i upload music from my itunes account to my iphone ?

    how do i upload music from my itunes account to my iphone ?

    Hi viper1997,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    There are two ways to get music onto your iPhone.  If you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer, you can setup manual syncing so that you transfer the playlists, artists or albums that you want on your iPhone.
    You can also download music you've already purchased from the iTunes store to your iPhone at any time.
    The following links will provide additional information to get you started.   You don't mention what computer you are using, so I'll assume a Mac for now, as the basics are the same.
    The iPhone User Guide is a good place to start:

  • I have a new email address. Changed this on my itunes account. On iPhone deleted old icloud account and created new with new email. I have set find my phone to on. When I download music it no longer goes to icloud an does not show up on my iphone.

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • How to change iCloud accounts on an iPhone without erasing the data from the cloud?

    Long story short I am using my sister's iPhone while mine is being repaired. My data from my iPhone is synced with my own iCloud account. My sister and my dad are on the same iCloud account, except I need to put my data on her phone, except it will not let me change the account on the iPhone without deleting my dad's iCloud account. How can I make this work?

    Deleting the iCloud account on your phone only deletes it from your phone, not from iCloud.  The account an it's data will not be touched, and your father's phone will not be effected by this.  Just go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in using your Account.
