How can I change the apple id on my ipod
Hi there, I need to know how I can change my apple id on my ipod without loosing everything. I have set up an apple account. But my ipod won't accept the change. I have tried going through itunes and changing it, and it wouldn't accept the changes either. The thing is my brother and I received them at the same time and we only set up one account now I want my own.
The ID is used in the following locations and you have to change them.
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
Settings>iCloud
and Settings>iTunes and App store
You have to sign out of ID (for iCloud you delete the iCloud account from the iPod) and sign in with other ID.
Note:
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
If the iPod has iOS 7 then you have the enter the password for Apple ID presently sign in Settings>iCloud.
Also, a Restriction can be set (Settings>General>Restrictions) the prevents changing accounts

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. -
I installed some apps using an apple I'd that is no longer active. I can't update them because it asks for the password of the old I'd instead of the I'd I currently use. How can I change the apple I'd associated with these apps? I still want to use them. One app I paid for using the old I'd. The other app is free. I have already tried deleting them and reinstalling them.
If you simply just changed the email associated with that appleid you can just delete and Re-download the apps.
You can verify the above step by going to the App Store on device > Updates>Purchased - if you see the app there just delete it from the home screen and redownload from the purchased section
Now if you got rid of that account entirely, you will have to delete and re-purchase on your new account -
My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones (2 phones both are 5s) . She now has an ipad with a her own apple id. How can we change the apple id on her phone so that is the same as the ipad and not loose any contacts or songs?
Did you take a look at the new feature Apple - iOS 8 - Family Sharing ?
Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
Up to now, songs bought from iTunes could only be played by the Apple ID that has been used to buy them.
If you set up Family Sharing, your daughter can also play your songs and use the same contact info as before.
If you don't want to do that, sync the contact info to the address book on your computer, and sync the info back, using iTunes:
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
If the iPad already has her Apple ID and contact info on it, restore the phone from the latest iPad backup. -

how can I change the Apple ID associated with my iCloud account? I changed it in my itunes but the old id is still hijacking my icloud!
Hello pscorning1,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you have already changed the information associated with your current Apple ID (*not* created an entirely new Apple ID), you may find the following article about updating the various Apple ID services helpful:

How can we change the Apple ID on our iPad to another owner?
How can we change the Apple ID on our iPad to another owner?
Settings->iTunes and App Stores->Apple ID->Sign Out Sign in with another Apple ID.
However all Apps purchased with the previous ID will be forever tied to it and will always require it to update.
So if you plan on changing owners its better to wipe the iPad clean, and let the new owner set it up from scratch.
Settings->General->Reset->Erase All Content and Settings will put the iPad back to the way it was when it was first taken out of the box. -

How can I change the Apple Id in the icloud settings on my iphone 4?
How can I change the Apple Id in the icloud settings on my iphone 4?
The only way is to remove the account, then add it back in, using the AppleID you want to use. If this is a wholly different AppleID, then you will create a new iCloud account. If you just changed the email address at the appleid web management page, then it will be the same iCloud account.

I received what appears to be a reconditioned iPod Touch 4th for Christmas. How do I change the Apple ID on the device to my ID so I can use my iTunes account? Thanks for any help/
It would probably be best to attach the iPod to a computer and restore it. This way you'll know it's wiped clean. Then, when you start up the iPod it will ask you for your Apple ID.

Somehow the email address that appears as my Apple ID when opening my iPod Touch (5th gen) is not my correct email address/Apple ID. How can I change my Apple ID withing my Touch so I can access apps?
You might have to transfer purchases to your account. If its signed in on a different account. Or,
1. Go to iTunes on your iPod.
2. Click music and scroll down to the bottom on your iPod.
3. It should show the apple ID that's signed in, and press it and choose sign out.
4. Then click sign in and it should work.
Hope this helps.
