Do I have to change apple ID?
Since my studio will close in december, I shall sell my macs to myself for use at home. The question is: do I have to change Apple ID? What about the osx licences and the various apps which I download on my studio's apple ID?
Thank you

It depends, If the Apple ID is the same as what you have now, then no. But if you have a seperate Apple ID for use in the studio, then yes sign out and create a new one for your personal use if it makes any ssense what so ever.
What about the osx licences and the various apps which I download on my studio's apple ID?
The Apps if you have downloaded them on the App Store are always there in the Purchased section of the App Store. What do you mean about the OS X License?

I have lost my ipod touch is there any way of finding out if anyone is using it any way of checking if they have changed the apple id on that product,it is registered under my e-mail address/apple id,thanks.
Hey there is one way but ur itouch has to be ios5 and must have i cloud.
if u have it go to www.icloud.com and enter your icloud email and password then go to find my iphone.
if the user is connected to the internet it will track or it will say offline then you can even lock your ipod touch. -

How to change apple id on iPhone? Wife and I have same apple ID which causes me to get her iMessages instead of her. I also get all her pics on my phone and I don't want them. We need to change her apple ID without causing my ID and cloud to be closed.
Have her create a new ID. Here: https://appleid.apple.com/
Have her log out of iMessage/Facetime/iCloud on her device. Now have her use the new ID she has created.
That should keep the 2 of you separated, except for iTunes purchases. You can share that ID in a family up to 5 devices. -
I can't get FaceTime or iMessage to connect, I enter valid password (tested and works for Apple account) and it won't connect. I have checked all settings, upgrades iOS to 8.3 rebooted, changed Apple acount PW still wont connect. My internet connection is fine Safari works and I can access all sites. I have an iPad 2. Any help on this will be greatly appreciate. iPad 2, iOS 8.3
This is an ongoing problem as you will see by searching the forum.
Out of curiosity, do you have 2 step verification enabled? It was recently extended to include iMessage & FaceTime & I'm wondering if it might be causing some of the issues that some users are experiencing. -
How can I use iCloud again after upgrading OS to Mountain Lion? 2 days of trying every password I have ever used, AND changing Apple ID and iTunes ID, still nothing. Can't backup on iCloud anymore.
Apple ID's can be used for anything, a single ID can be used for all your accounts (ie iCloud, iTunes, MAS, Apple community etc), ideally this would be the way forward. So far as iTunes goes you need to continue to use the same ID as you have always used or you will lose access to your previous purchases and your iTunes match subscription.
If you are using a second ID for iCloud, you can continue to do so or use the ID you use for iTunes, but if you choose the later you will need to move all your calendar, contact etc data to the account using the ID you use for iTunes.
When (if) you change which account you use you would delete the account on an iOS device and log back in with the correct details, on a mac you would sign out in the iCloud system preference pane. -
I created an new apple id and want to change my billing information from the old id to the new id. How do i do that, as i have been trying it like always and it keeps saying that i have to contact apple support? I have an iphone 5S.
Good day BenithaK,
Once you have changed your Apple ID, you need to set it up for use in the various systems such as iTunes, the App Store, etc so it can be used as intended. This article shows how to do that -

To change your iTunes billing information for either Apple ID account, follow the directions in this article -

Have changed apple id and now cant turn on ICLOUD
I recently broke my screen on my 4s. my daughter had recently updated here 4s to a 5s so I decided to backup my phone and restore onto the now spare 4s.
some time ago I changed my email account and as I no longer had access to it I changed the name of my apple ID to my new email account. what I now realise is that I hadn't logged out of the old ICLOD id on my iPhone and logged back in with the new one. I hadn't thought of this as all was working ok (I don't use any cloud services, just find my iphone).
when I restored my image to the new 4s it came up with a message asking me to log into icloud but with the old ID. As that ID no longer exists I cannot login to that ID. As my new iPhone is on 7.x I cannot delete the Icloud account that came onto it via the backup as find my iPhone is turned on.
so I am now stuck as I cannot log onto an account that does not exist.....
help please.having looked into this a bit more and found I have a bigger problem than just the one i originally posted as this impacts more than one of my devices.
I think I can pose the question in a easier way.....
I changed the name of my apple ID as it was using the name of an old email account I no longer have access to.
when I go onto any of my IOS devices that are running 7.x to change the Icloud account details , I cannot delete the old account id because when I try to it asks me for the password of my old account ID as I have find my iphone turned on. when I type in the password that was on the old account it says "incorrect apple id or password". I assume because that apple ID no longer exists.
ICLOUD obviously recognises the two accounts are the save as when I run up findmyiphone on an iphobe that is logged in with my new account ID it can see other IOS devices in my family that are still logged in with the old account name.
so my questions is:
how do you log you update an IOS device if you have simply changed the account name of your apple ID if you are on IOS 7 and have find my iphone turned on? -
When my husband set up his new iPhone I read a message wrong when it popped up on my phone and now our messaging is synced. Is it because we have the same apple ID? Do we need to change that?
Yes, its best to have each individual apple ids. You can also go to settings, messages, send and recieve, start new conversation from, make sure there is a check mark beside each of your own individual email, not the same one on each phone.

hi i have the same apple id for my iPad and my mac. my iPhone has a different one. My i cloud on my mac seems to be the iCloud on my iPad, if that makes sense so its not sending my photos from my mac to the cloud. how do i change it to upload mac pictures instead? thanks
Did you go into Settings > Store and then tap your old ID, sign out and then enter your new ID?

2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?
You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices. -
Please help. I changed my apple id password and now cannot use facetime and my icloud continues to prompt me for my password and I continue to give it but, I repeatedly am prompted for the password unless I cancel the icloud. I have tried changing my password back to the password I had before and this did not work. I have tried to use another e-mail address for facetime and had verified that e-mail address and this did not work. I do not know how to fix this problem. I have thought about changing my apple id but am not sure how I would be able to carry over the same credit card number to the new apple ID. I loved my Mac book Pro because I could facetime my boyfriend while I am working away and now I cannot. I am starting to hate Mac.
The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

I have recently bought an Ipad but have forgotten my gmail password that I use on my Mac. I have used this email as my apple ID. If I now set up a new email account on my Ipad, do I have to change my apple ID as well as my apple password! HELP A VERY CONFUSED NOVICE!!!
On your Mac, try to access your gmail account. There should be a link you click for "Forgot My Password". Click it and try to retrieve your password.

CAn I change the apple I'd and password on one of my two iPads and will they both operate separately. Right now when my husband adds a game it also is added to the other one and when I add recipes in pages, they go into the other I pad too. When I purchased the new iPad I was told I had to have the same apple Id as the first one, I would like them to be separate, is this possible?
You need to create a new Apple ID to use with the other iPad, then sign out in Settings>iCloud and sign in with the new ID. Of course any data such as contacts and calendars which have been synced from the first iPad will be removed from the second one when you do this.

I have Iphone 4s, and the phone will activate itself again. This I have verified, but when I shall put this onto my phone, so the phone will not approve the newusername and password. How do I get changed Apple ID on my phone so that I get using the new username and password that is verified? Silly to buy a new phone just for this .... The phone is almost three years old. How long can weexpect this to last? I would like an answer as soon as possible ... Thank you very much.
It sounds like your device might be in Activation Lock. Is it asking your to enter in an Apple ID & password, but only showing you the first letter of the email address and then some dots? Example: j•••••@icloud.com?
If so, do you recognize that email? Do you have an Apple ID that fits the same format? If so, then go to www.cloud.com, log in with that Apple ID & password, and see if under Find My iPhone it shows this device. If so, turn off the device, then remove the device from the list.
