How do I change the itunes account my iphone is linked to?

My wife and I both have Itunes accounts but somehow my iphone is linked to her account. I simply want to link my iphone to my account and can't discover how to do this. Should be very simple I guess but if i try and edit her ID on Itunes by putting mine in, it says that I can't as my ID is already in use!! Aagh!

My recommendation would be to set this up as a brand new iPhone, just as if it came out of the box.
Do that in Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings
You will then be directed to the welcome to iPhone screen, just as you would with a brand new device.

  • How do I change the itunes account on my computer?

    How do I change the itunes account on my computer?  I let my ex keep my Apple ID as he had purchased a large amount of music, so he uses it on his Iphone and computer, and I started a new account on my Iphone, and I'd like to use that one on my computer, but I can't figure out how to log out of my old Apple ID and use the new one.

    If the desired iTunes library is in a different Mac OS X user account, choose to log out from the Apple menu and then log in.
    If the desired iTunes library is in the same Mac OS X user account, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and specify it.

  • How can I change the iTunes account on a used computer

    I puchased a used laptop and need to change the itunes account.

    Go to the Store menu in iTunes and choose "Deauthorize this Computer".
    Then you'll have to go back to the same menu and choose "Authorize this Computer".
    Of course, this might delete any purchases made from this account and delete them from your iTunes library.

  • How do I change the iTunes account affiliated with my device?

    When I unpackaged my iPhone 4 at home, I put music on it with my sister's iTunes account, I did not have one. Now that I have my own, I can't add music to my device, because I can only have one iTunes account registered to my phone. How do I change it so that MY iTunes account is registered to my iPhone4?

  • I bought a used ipod nano and it is associated to another itunes account. How can I change the itunes account to mine so I can register it to my account?

    I bought a used ipod nano for my daughter and when I tried to register it, I got a message advising that it is registered to another iTunes account. How can I remove that association and associate it to our iTunes account?

    Restore it in iTunes on your computer.
    There is a difference between registering with Apple and using it with iTunes. To register it (which isn't necessary) you would have to get the previous owner to de-register it.

  • How do I change the itunes account to my own account to buy applications?

    I have my sisters account on my itouch and i want to change it to my account and i cant figure out how. please help! thanks

    Hi,
    I think (please someone, feel free to correct me) that you have to log in to you own account in iTunes on a PC/Mac then synch, your account should then be the one used by your touch.

  • How do I unlock my iPhone with my IMEI code on iTunes. And how do I change the iCloud account connecting to the phone?

    My sister got the 5S, so she has given me her old 4S. She got the IMEI code from her network to allow me to unlock it. When I plug the phone into my computer, how do I use the IMEI code to unlock it on iTunes. The text my sis got from O2 says, "Apple have confirmed the iPhone IMEI 01.....etc. is set to unlock. To complete, connect the device to iTunes with a SIM never used in the iPhone". But I'm not sure what to do, I already connecting the iPhone with my SIM to iTunes... What next? Also how do I change the iCloud account connected to the phone (hers) to my own?
    Thanks.

  • HT1918 I moved from the UK to the USA. How do I change my iTunes account to a US one?

    I moved from the UK to the USA. How do I change my iTunes account to a US one?
    I cannot change the address as the country cannot be changed in the account settings.........

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes store in the iTunes application on your computer, enter your password and click the "view account" button. Navigate to the Apple ID summary where you have the option to "change country or region".
    In order to change your location, you will need a credit card registered to an address in the location you are trying to change to.
    You cannot change your location if you have credit on your account, if you are unable to spend your credit and leave a balance of zero, contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support.

  • How do I change my Itunes account to a new one

    How do I change my itunes account to a new id account

    Do you mean that you've updated your existing account, created a new account, or want to do one of those ?
    If you've updated your existing account then to get that update reflected on an iPad, iPhone and/or iPod Touch then you may need to log out of the account on the device by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in in order to 'refresh' the account on it.
    If you've created a new account then you can log out and back in similar to above (and via the Store > Sign Out menu option on a computer's iTunes), but any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can authorise its content on a new computer, redownload it and download updates to its apps.
    If you want to update your existing account to have a new email address on it then you can do so via this page : http://appleid.apple.com

  • How do I change the itunes user name on my iphone?

    How do I change the itunes user name on my iphone? When I attempt to purchase an app or update the existing ones, the previous owner of this iphone has their information displayed and asks for the password as their user name is automatically prompted?

    The apps are tied to the account from which they were purchased.  If the apps were purchased from the previous owners account, then they would have to be updated from that account.  you should not have these apps anyway.  You need to buy your own.
    Read the manual.  it will tell you how to sign into your account to buy apps.

    I would suggest restoring as new.

  • How do I change the iTunes receipt e-mail address?

    How do I change the iTunes receipt e-mail address? I keep getting receipts at my old e-mail address but want to change it to a new e-mail address. I changed the login name to my new e-mail address but I guess that only changes the login name, not the actual e-mail address in Apple's database.

    I got some help from iTunes support, and it seems to work.
    If you have a .Mac iTunes account, and you want to change the email address:
    First, change your primary email address at myinfo.apple.com.
    Then:
    "Due to an issue with the store, you must follow the instructions below to change your email address of record:
    1. Verify that you have an active network connection and open iTunes.
    2. Click “Music Store” from the Source list.
    3. Click on the Account button in the upper right corner. The Account field will either display your iTunes Music Store Account ID or “Sign In.”
    4. Enter the account name and password of the iTunes Music Store account.
    5. Click “View Account”
    6. On the Account Information page click “Edit Credit Card”
    7. Re-enter your billing address information, adding a space at the end of your address. This will force the account to refresh and apply your new email address.
    Please rest assured that we are aware of the issue and are working to resolve it as soon as possible."
