Changing old Apple ID to new ID on IOS

I had the same issue as below, but when I follow these steps to delete old Apple ID on my iPhone, I am prompted to enter my old Apple ID password to turn off Find My iPhone. My old password does not work. Please advise. Thanks!
How do I update my Apple ID email address on iPhone and iPad after changing the email but not password.  I have verified my new email on iPhone iPad and iMac but settings on all for iCloud still show my old email address. I can't use anything now that needs my Apple ID

Hello there, Chivs86.
From what it sounds like you are wanting to sign out of iCloud with the "old" ID and sign in with the new. The following Knowledge Base article should help you with that issue:
iCloud: Features that work with one account at a time on iOS 5 and OS X Lion or later
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4020
Specifically:
To change a secondary account to a primary account
iOS 5 or later:
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Delete the secondary account.
Tap the Back button.
Tap iCloud.
Delete the primary account.
Add the secondary account that you want to be your primary account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

If the old Apple ID password does not work, you will need to contact the Apple ID Security site from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 or try going to http://iforgot.apple.com and see if you can get it changed through that portal.

    It won't affect your info on your devices. It will remove her photo stream photos but not her camera roll photos, yes you need to delete the account.

    No, your accounts will remain separate, any content that you download via either account will be tied to that account - so each account will only be able to authorise its own downloads on your computer's iTunes, redownload them, download updates to its apps, and make in-app purchases in its apps.
    Is there are particular reason why you've created a new account ? If it's due to, for example, no longer having access to your old email account then you can update the email address on an account by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and selecting 'view apple id' on the popup and logging into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes (click the Edit button to the right of your id at the top of your account's screen), or via http://appleid.apple.com . If you want to re-use the email address on the account that you've just created then you will need to change that first

    You can't do that yourself; if desired, you can click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they will, but they probably won't.

    I am having trouble with my Apple ID and AppStore
    Here are the steps I have taken and the results:
    Changed my Apple ID with new email address.
    Changed my iCloud with above new email address.
    NOW - Apple ID appears correct in AppStore Settings, iCloud and AppStore*
    If I scroll to bottom of screen in *App Store/Featured, I can see that the Apple ID is my new email.
    Upon “updating” Apple ID reflects OLD email.
    Deleted accounts, re-added accounts.
    Signed out and signed in with new UN/Email
    Issue remains the same.

    To migrate your data to a new iCloud account go to Settings>iCloud and turn off all synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.), when prompted choose to keep the data on your phone.  After everything is set to off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, create the new iCloud account on your phone and turn on syncing for contacts, calendars, etc again.  If prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload your data to the new iCloud account.

  • Can I change the apple id on new iphone to old apple id?

    I just got a new iphone 5s after having a droid for a year. While at the Tmobile store I couldn't remember my apple ID/password so the guy told me just to set up a new one 'for now' and that I would be able to change it later so that I can sync my phone and get all my music from my old itunes account. I can't get my phone to sync with the itunes account on my laptop (but I am not very good at this stuff)  Can I either change the apple ID on my phone so that it is my old itunes account or is there a way to get my itunes music from old account onto new phone?  Thanks!

    Yeah - I believe so. According to the article linked below, having that box checked means that you are, literally, dragging music, and other stuff from your library to your device as opposed to syncing. Not sure I understand the purpose of it. I have always sync'd my device, and I control what syncs by setting up the Profile pages accordingly.
    In fact, I sync my devices and my husbands devices to our iTunes library on his Macbook Pro, but we have the Photos option unchecked on all of the device profiles on his Macbook Pro library. We then sync our photos from my Macbook Air, which is where our iPhoto library is housed. On the device profiles on my Mac, all of the boxes except the Photos tab are unchecked. We use the sync process on both, and the way the profiles are set up, it prevents anything from getting accidently un-synced or deleted....
    Maybe the Manually Manage option allows you to drag music from multiple libraries without wiping out what you already have on your device....just not sure. But here is the link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    This article indicates that even with the Manually Manage option on, you can selectively set up your profile screens to allow automatic syncing at the same time (just not with the same content).
    Hope that makes sense!

  • App Store - Changing old Apple ID to a new one defintively

    Hello,
    I want to install new apps on my mac but an old Apple Id is proposed. I want to change it, because the old one is inactive.
    But the "Popup" does not allow to do it.
    I tried to Disconect and reconnect  with the new Apple Id but the old one comes again and again ...
    Some Ideas,
    Thank you.

    Use the sign out function in the Mac App Store's Store menu to sign out of the old Apple ID and into the new Apple ID.
    However; content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

  • Changed my apple id to new email address and now iTunes doesn't recognize either.

    I changed ISP and had to change my apple id (it was my old email address, back when you had to use an email address as apple id.)  Now, iTunes will not recognize my new apple id or my old one.  How can I fix this?  It won't let me do anything with the apps on my iPhone.

    How did you change your apple ID?
    I dont belie you can change your Apple ID,  but you can add and delete email addresses that it recognized...
    Goto https://appleid.apple.com/ and sign into your account... then you can edit the information...

  • HT201365 I had to change my email address because I was locked out of my previous address and change my Apple ID password due to the iOS 7 upgrade. Now iCloud will not recognize my new address nor my new password. Everything else on my apple devices accep

    I was forced to change my email address, (was locked out of it). I also was forced to change my Apple password due to the iOS 7 upgrade. Everything on my iPhone and iPad, including iTunes, accepted my new email address change, except iCloud. And because I was forced to change my password, it doesn't recognize my old password or new password either. There is no way I can find to change my email address on iCloud, and so I'm stuck. I cannot delete iCloud account without proper email and password and it still shows my old email and doesn't allow it to be changed.

    If Settings>iCloud is showing your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
