How do I change my iPhone to a new Apple ID so it is consistent with my MacBook?

I bought a new MacBook and i want my iPhone to be in sync with it but my iPhone is with a different Apple ID. The old Apple ID has too many devices already connected with it and I don't want to change that. I just want to set up my iPhone so it will sync smoothly with my MacBook for everything.

Just remember you cannot merge Apple ID, stuff you bought using that Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID. You cannot transfer purchases over.
That been said, you can sign out and sign in with the new Apple ID in iPhone's Settings > Store > Apple ID.

    having had to reset my apple ID password I am now told my icloud password is incorrect. HOw do I change it to match the new apple one

    Settings-->Mail-->iCloud-->Account is the normal method however iCloud mail is not working for several of us. The password incorrect notification pops up usually when the servers are down (God forbid we actually get a "server down" notification.)

    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    CHANGE ID
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    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 the following are resolved if you  use Family Sharing (iOS 8 and later):
    - 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.

  • My family shares an account.  How do I switch my iphone to my new Apple ID without loosing all of my contacts and contents from the phone?

    I just purchased an ipad and created a new Apple ID.  My phone currently shares an apple ID that the whole family uses.  What is the best/easiest way to switch my iphone 4S to my new ID without loosing everything in my phone?  I want to streamline my own stuff...

    I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish.  Are you trying to change your Apple ID for all services (iCloud, iMessage, store purchases, etc.)?  You can safely use a different Apple ID for all these things without jeopardizing your contacts/photos etc.  If you want to change your iCloud account you would need to turn off syncing for contacts and calendars and when prompted, choose to keep your data on your phone (rather than delete it).  Then you can go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then you can set up a new iCloud account with a new Apple ID and turn on syncing for contacts, calendars, etc. again.  To change your iMessage Apple ID, go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in with your alternate ID.
    Where you will run into problems, however, is if you sync to a new iTunes library.  If you have already synced to one library and try to sync to a new one, iTunes will erase all iTunes content and replace it with the content in the new iTunes library.  Let me know if that's what you are trying to do.

  • I changed my Apple ID and password with help from Apple support staff, but iCloud still has old Apple id and won't accept the old Apple id password.  How do I change iCloud id to the new Apple ID?

    How to change iCloud ID to my newly created Apple ID?  The old password for the old iCloud ID no longer works so I cannot delete the old iCloud account to create a new iCloud account because the old password no longer works  .... can't turn off FINE MY PHONE.

    Can't do this as I cannot sign in using my old APPLE id as no password(s) will work with that old id - therefore I cannot get the other screens to perform the rest of the steps recommended.  Any other suggestions?

  • The calendar week view on my iphone 4s starts on a Sunday.  I am synching with outlook on my computer which starts the week view on a Monday which I prefer.  How do I change my iphone calendar view to start the week on a Monday?

    The calendar week view on my iphone 4s starts on a Sunday.  I am synching with outlook on my computer (pc)  which starts the week view on a Monday which I prefer.  How do I change my iphone calendar view to start the week on a Monday?  I am in Australia.
    I have just noticed the other discussion points - mine is set to Australia. 
    Dear Apple - as the day that the week starts on can depend on country and religion - how about making it an option that the user can change????

    I believe the week view on the iPhone is handled by the Region settings in the phone. I am not aware of any other manner to change it, as you can with Outlook.

  • How can I change my iphone username to update apps and download anything with the new email I have today?

    how can I change my iphone username to update apps and download anything with the new email I have today?

    Before you make an apple ID with the new email, go to appleid.apple.com.  login with your old email and password. change your old email to your new one. Now you can use your new email as your apple id, but beware if you go through the process of creating a new appleid with your new email address you will not be able to attach your old account to your new email.

  • My husband registered an iphone in his name and have given it to me. I have an ipad registered in my name.  How can I change the iphone to my name and sync both devices.

    My husband registered an iphone in his name and have given it to me. I have an Ipad registered in my name.  How can I change the Iphone from his apple id to my name and sync both devices.

    You can create up to 3 alias addresses but you have to do this on icloud.com from your computer browser.  This article explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.  Also, incoming email to an alias address will go to your current iCloud inbox so it really isn't a separate account; just a different email address for the same account. 
    Each iCloud account only has a single iCloud email account.  If you really want to set up another, you would need to add a secondary iCloud account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, then entering a different Apple ID to create the account.  You can then turn on Mail to create the new account.  Mail in secondary accounts, however, is fetch email, not push (which is only supported in the primary account).

  • How much costs change the iphone 5 retina screen?

    how much costs change the iphone 5 retina screen? i'd need know it, my retina screen is broken

    Apple reportedly now will replace the screen in an iPhone 5 for US $149. Availabllity of repair services may vary by country, and I'm not sure if other models of iPhone also can be repaired, so call Apple Support or visit an Apple Store and ask for information. For other problems Apple at this time does not at this time repair iPhones, but will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ coverage, the cost will low; in the US it's $49. If you do not have AppleCare+ on your iPhone, see the Service Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
    There are independent iPhone repair services that may be able to do the repair for less than Apple's out-of-warranty charge. Do a web search for "iPhone repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPhone serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further warranty and support from Apple will be voided.
    Regards.

  • I merged my Apple ID accounts on my iPhone and iPod...how can I change the iPhone Apple ID account so that the iPod and iPhone has there own

    I merged my Apple ID accounts on my iPhone and iPod...how can I change the iPhone Apple ID account so that the iPod and iPhone has there own?

    I think I understand what you mean. You were asked if you wanted to merge the contacts with your iCloud account. Contacts take up very little room and are probably not the reason that your iCloud is full. If you're now backing up two devices to iCloud rather than one, that will indeed take up more room.
    You cannot undo the contact merge. You can go to Settings>iCloud on either device and see what categories of stuff you're backing up and make selections. You can also purchase more iCloud space there.
