How do I change an AppleID to be able to update previously downloaded apps once a new AppleID has been set up?

I bought an iPad just before the change to iOS5.  The personnel at the Apple Store used their computer to get an AppleID set up so I could access the App Store.  I recently got an iPhone which operates on iOS5, which updates by direct download.  In the process of activating the phone, it was necessary to establish a totally new AppleID which used my email address for identity, as the old identity would not work.  It was also necessary to set up a new password which had higher security requirements so that the old password could not be entered.
  Now the apps on the iPad cannot be updated.  They are tied to the old ID, which no longer works.  Updating settings with the new ID allows newly downloaded apps to be updated (if they don't require iOS5), but not the 60+ old ones.
  Apparently, I must now buy a computer to connect to update the iOS in the pad from 4 to 5.
Is there any other way anyone knows of to update the iOS on the iPad wihtout having to shell out an additional $1500 in order to continue using a $500 iPad and update the apps I have?

I've tried it, but it will only accept an ID in the new format, i.e., an email address.  The old ID was a 7 character alpha only.

    You need to follow the instructions in this article that best apply to your situation:
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    If you do not have a backup in either iCloud or iTunes, then you will have no way to retain the information on your device because you will have to restore it in order to access it again.

    My iCloud email address in incorrect on my iPad how do I rectify ?

    In most, but not all cases, you'd want the same ID on all your devices. If you want your iPad to sync with other devices! that is what you need to do. Settings > iCloud, scroll down and delete the current account, then log into your original account.

  • How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the full screen?

    How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the whole screen, as opposed to just about one third; the other two thirds display the full text of the selected email?

    You can't change the display in the Mail app, if you are holding the iPad in landscape orientation then the left-hand third will be for navigation, and the right-hand two-thirds will be an email. If you hold the iPad in portrait orientation then the navigation section becomes a drop-down section.

  • I changed my Apple ID password and validated it OK but when I try to update or download apps now it asks me to enter password and then says it's not been validated.  how do I get out of this?

    I changed my Apple ID password and successfully validated it.  Problem is the iPad App Store won't recognise me anymore.  if I select an App to update it asks me to enter password, then says "You have not verified your Application ID.Tap OK to view the instructions on how to verify your ID.".
    A new pop up box then appears saying an email has been sent to my address.  The box to resend this is greyed out and the bottom line says "your email has already been validated successfully. thank you."
    Any suggestions on how to solve this problem and force the iPad to let me update or download Apps again?

    Same issues here. I try and log into face time and cloud, it tells me my email is not veryfied. I go back through the link sent in the verification email and, low and behold, it tells me my address has already been veryfied.
    Getting really annoyed now. I have tried using a different email to log in with, but not even getting the verify email in my inbox, even after it states it has sent one.
    CMON APPLE!!! Please resolve this glitch.

    It is possible that you accidentally switched the keyboard layout.
    You can check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar (Taskbar, right-click context menu: Toolbars).
    You need to do that while Firefox has focus.
    Windows remembers that setting per application and the default is a key combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that you can easily use in Firefox to activate a menu item.
    Disable the key sequence to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctr+Shift) to avoid an unintentional switch and instead assign a specific key (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to switch to the keyboard layout.

    That is "activation lock". You won't be able to use the iPhone unless this is cleared by the original owner.

  • How can I change game centre and iCloud account information from previous owner of my iPad?

    How can I change game centre and iCloud account information from previous owner to me?

    You can't do it on your own. The previous owner has to erase the device for you. You would need his Apple ID and password in order to delete his iCloud account. This is due to the Activation Lock in iOS 7 - assuming that your iPad is running iOS 7.
    Contact the owner and ask home to erase it remotely using iCloud, or return the device and ask for your money back. If you can't contact the pervious owner, you will have a useless iPad on your hands.
    Read this for more information. This is what you need the previous owner to do.

  • How can I change the overall duration of a project.  I did it once but I can't remember and can't find the answer.

    How can I change the overall duration of a project.  I did it once but I can't remember and can't find the answer.

    You could add more content.
    Or if the project contains stills, these can be lengthened. Double-click on a still photo to open the Clip Inspector. Adjust the duration by typing in the Duration box. Be aware though that if you have transitions either side of the still, you may get odd results with the duration. See this thread for more details:
