How can I change the Apple ID that is set up with my Mail account?
I need to change that hotmail address
You shouldn't post your email address in public forums.
To manage your Apple ID, go to this site:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
You can change an outside email address associated with an Apple ID as a main login, but you will still have an Apple email address associated with it also which you can't change.
You will need to sign in with your apple id. If you forgot your password, click forgot and follow the directions.

I have inadvertently set up two apple ID accounts - now, I am trying to use iCloud to sync everything but my mac has one ID and my phone has another. How can I change the one on my mac? the one on my phone is the one that has the extra storage.
Navigate to system preferences > iCloud and sign out of your account, then sign back in using the correct details.

How can I change my Apple ID that is set up with an old email that does not exist anymore
I set up an Apple ID years ago with a hotmail email account. I also deleted that hotmail email account years ago. I now have a gmail email. I cannot back up anything to icloud because of my apple id that is connected to the hotmail email account that does not exist anymore. To change my ID, apple sends a verification email to my old hotmail account which i cannot access, and it also says my gmail account is my rescue account, so I wouldn't be able to change it to my gmail account anyway. Any ideas? I'd like my ID to be associated with my one and only current gmail email account. I have a lot of songs that I've spent a lot of money on over the years that I don't want to lose.

How do I change the apple ID that is set on my 3gs
How do I change the apple ID that is currently set on my iPhone
Log out of the current account and log in with the new credentials. You will always get the old Apple ID whenever you update apps that were downloaded/bought with that ID, as apps and media are forever tied to one apple ID.
If you do not want that to happen when you update thos apps in the future, you will have to delete them, and if you want them back, you will need to repurchase/ redownload them with the new Apple ID. -
How can I change the Apple ID that appears on my iPod Touch? It's not the correct 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. -

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 -
how can i change the automatic ID that apppears in my iPhone where in fact it is not my apple ID in the first place?
The automatic ID DaintyDaisy is talking about is when you go to your app store and it shows you as logged in under a certain Apple ID, and asks you for the password to log in. If this is not the correct Apple ID, then we (including me!!!) need to know where to go to re set it. I followed some other discussions and one link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796 shows you how to sign out, but when the Apple ID is greyed out, it doesn't help!!! Typical Apple world... get tangled and suffer for endless hours trying to fix one problem... but there is a million more to fix (like getting the righ App to download pictures from one's iPhone).

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. -
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. -
