How change I change a recently changed Apple ID on an iPhone back to the original one?
I recently purchased a new iPhone 5S and gave my iphone 4 to my husband. All of his email comes to an alias address on my account. After he took over my old phone he created an Apple ID for that device but he found out that he cannot receive his alias address email on his "new" phone and wants it back the way it was when it was mine. My early research suggests that this cannot be done. Any suggestions out there?
When an alias is created in one account, it cannot be removed and used in a different account. If he returns to the "old" account where he can use the alias, then he's really in *your* account and the two of you will end up sharing everything - emails, contacts, calendars, notes, etc. This is probably not what you want, as an icloud account is designed to be used by one user, not several.
He should consign himself to losing his old "alias" and begin living with his new account. He can certainly add new alias(es) to that account if he's not happy with the account's ID/email address.
To change an icloud account on a device...
Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. Then log in using a different ID.

I have tried this method but it seems that every time the region is set back to the original one as if I didn't change anything
Try it this way and see if it works. If you do not have a credit card registered to a legal address in the country in which you want to purchase, you will not be able to buy from that store anyway.
Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID
Tap your ID
Sign out
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID
Sign into your ID
Tap your Apple ID after signing in
Tap View Apple ID
Enter your password
Go to Country/Region to change the store. -

how can i change my scurity answers when i forgot the original answers
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

How do you save changes made in iPhote, and export the changed picture file? When I select export, current format, it reverts to the original, wiping out all my work.
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101. -

Hello Community,
My IPhone is lost since yesterday, the problem is, i don't got any serialnumber or else to get an apple support. I had a problem once and apple traded my damaged iPhone for a new one, i got everything from the old one, but nothing from the "new". On the german apple website i can find the sentence :
"Du kannst auch eine Liste der Seriennummern, die deiner Apple ID zugeordnet sind, finden und Informationen über die Verwendung von „Mein iPhone suchen“ für iPhone, iPad, iPod touch oder Mac bekommen."
On english this means :
"You can get a list of serialnumber, wich are addet with your apple id, and get information about the using of Find My Iphone for iPhone, iPad......"
But they don't tell me where i can find it.
Thanks for helping me already.
And sorry for my bad english.Here are the ways to locate your SN:

Q:-
How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S. The old ID is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as everytime i tried it asks ID password which I don't remember.Hello mushysun,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out. If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
Have a great weekend,

How to get rid of an old Apple ID on my iphone 5 ? The ID belongs to a store I bought my iphone from ,and it's in another country.
You can't. That's the new security feature of iOS7 that users (and others) requested to prevent stolen devices from being restored by theives and reused. Contact the "store" you purchased your phone from and see what they say.

How do I change computers for syncing my iPhone 4s? The original laptop that I used to sync with died and I can not get my iPhone to sync with my desktop.
can't if you do not have access to the old library (the usual workaround is to backup the old library and import it to the new itunes)
for important data...
sync your existing contacts with icloud, your text messages will not be disrupted, music will sync with whatever music you have on your new itunes, photos shoud still be in the camera roll (I would sync them to photostream before you sync, just in case). Any photos on your phone that are not in camera roll or photostream... if you lost those pictures with the computer crash I would take screen shots (lock button + home button at the same time) of each photo so they show up in the camera roll. App data may or may not be lost. In my experience, it depends on the app. Some of the apps recognize your apple ID and sync data over the internet with servers, some do not. I would take note of important data (such as passwords in a password keeper if you have such an app) just in case if you lose that data. -
When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my apple ID email address keeps popping up on his phone when he tries to download an app. We do not want to have all of the same apps on our phones. How can we change the ID on his phone? I already tried going to Settings>iTunes &App Store> and changing the Apple ID to his account email and that did not solve the problem. To make things worse, I recently changed my Apple ID email address (without getting a new ID) and I do not remember my old password (and this is the address that is popping up on his phone). He does not have any music on his phone and all of the Apps that he has are free. Any help you could offer would be great (-:
All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that bought them. To stop your id from popping up, you need to delete the apps on his phone, and then repurchase them under his account.

have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud
To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, 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 iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished 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.
