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.

  • HT204053 How can I change the apple ID that is set up on my mac to match the one on my phone so they can sync

    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 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.

  • How do I change the Apple ID that iCloud uses to sync the iPad?

    How do I change an iPad's iCloud Apple ID without deleting that entire iCloud account? When I go to Settings>iCloud on this iPad, the Apple ID email address is not an active field, so I cannot enter the new Apple ID. The iPad is currently syncing successfully using iCloud--but to my husband's account/data. I want to enter the Apple ID that my Mac uses to sync with my Mac. I see "Delete Account" below in the iPad Settings>iCloud, but I don't know what "delete" means here.

    Cancel my question, please. I found the answer: delete the account, enter the new Apple ID and save data to device and merge data, and create a new account.

  • 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.

  • How do I change the apple id that has alreadys been registered in apps on my iPad

    I need help

    I'm not 100% certain what you're asking but I suspect that it may not be possible.  You CAN change the Apple ID in Settings > Store.  Touch the ID and you will be given the option of changing it.  However, this does not affect any apps that you have already purchased.  If you have purchased apps using another ID, you will need to remember the password for that ID because you will need it when the apps are to be updated.
    There are a bazillion of us with multiple IDs and no way to combine them.

  • How do I change the Apple ID that the AppStore on my iPhone defaults to? In settings I am logged into one account, but when I try and update various Apps from within the AppStore the default account that comes up, asking for my password, is different.

    Eg, the phone automatically brings up an old (defunct) AppleID account login every time I try to update my Apps. I don't know the pword for this account, nor does it have current data about me.
    But when I go to settings: store it shows me logged into the correct account.
    I have already tried:
    logging out and logging back in
    downloading a new App from within AppStore (in that case it doesn't ask me for my password or bring up the old AppleID)
    Syncing the phone, confirming that I have the right AppleID account set up on iTunes
    I don't want to have to delete all my paid apps just because I downloaded them long ago with an older Apple ID.
    Help please!

    The very similar situation with mine:

    I can't find any solution. I don't even remember when I changed my apple ID! So does that means I cant recovered my purchased apps from my " old" account? I am totally innocent, for I did not intend to "Change" my account name

  • How do I change the apple id that has my husband email on my iphone? trying to update a free app

    The free, "Find my IPhone" app I installed says it needs updated (and the other 4 free games I have) but when I try to update, the Apple ID comes up with my husbands email, not mine. He has an Ipod and an ITunes account, no IPhone. I haven't purchased anything yet, but did created an ITunes account. Maybe it's something with that, but I can't figure it out. I tried logging out of ITunes and logging back in, same with the Iphone-settings, store, logged out and back in (and it shows my correct account). I also synced my phone.  Itunes shows my name at the top, too.
    Can you help me-I'm a newbee... Love the IPhone, just don't know what to do about this.. Thank you so much!!

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them originally.  As a result, when you update an app it will always ask for the password for the Apple ID used to purchase it.  If you are being asked for your husband's Apple ID password when you update an app, this means that it was purchased using your husband's Apple ID.  You wlll have to enter his password to update it.  The only way to stop this is to delete the app(s) from your phone.

  • 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.

  • HT5114 How do you change the Apple ID that is already hooked up to the iCloud?

    My family got all new iPhones for Christmas and I got one last year so I am keeping mine. We have a plan for iCloud that we all share the same data. But we found out that if you have multiple Apple ID's then everyone will have their own iCloud. But the thing is, I my iCloud is already connected to our main Apple ID and I can't change it. I created a new account and it is changed for the iTunes and App Store on my phone but when I go to iCloud in Settings it is still the old Apple ID.
    Any help?

    I just found the answer to my own question. What you need to do is go to iCloud under Settings and then scroll down to the bottom and Delete the prior account. Then my new account popped up in the username and I just had to fill in my password.
