How do i switch itunes accounts on my iphone?

Is it possible to change itunes accounts from my iphone 4S??? The account i have now is known by my computer, but my phone acts like it has no idea that i got rid of the old one!!!! Now i can't upgrade or get new apps because my iphone is still using the old account. What do I do??? Please help

All apps purchased using an Apple ID are forever tied to that ID. You cannnot merge, transfer Apple ID.
If you need to update those apps, you have to use the same Apple ID used to purchase them.

  • How can I switch iTunes accounts without losing purchases?

    When I purchased my wife an iPhone, I made the mistake of setting her iPhone up on my iTunes account. It had never been a problem until now with iCloud and other such features that are connected with the iTunes account. Is it possible to switch her to her own iTunes account and still retain the music/apps/etc she has purchased for her device? Thanks.

    Agreed, I would like to able able to split my daughters account up from mine. I do not believe there is a way to do this however.

    On your phone (from http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311):
    Change your iTunes Store country
    Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
    Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.

    Hello! scottocs
    Me to have the exact same problem, I can not solve the problem.
    To solve the problem:
    1. Download the twitter app from the App Store,
    2. Right click (control click) the app and click show package contents,
    3. Open contents,
    4. Copy the folder that says '_MASReceipt'
    5. Paste that folder in the same location in the app you downloaded off of the Internet, replacing the original one,
    6. You might need to restart the App Store or your computer for the change to take affect,
    Please tell me how to remove this iTunes account?

    If you mean that it has the 90 day association : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    then you can either wait for the 90 days to complete, or you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can remove the association : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • How can I access my iTunes account from my iPhone.

    1- I can't access my iTunes account from my iPhone.
    Do I have to sync them or can I download the songs I bought without connecting with my macbook?
    Last time i connected the two, all my music got deleted. Must have done something wrong, but have no idea how to prevent that from happening again.
    2- My "preferences" panel in iTunes, only shows apps and books, not music- Why?
    3- I can't save any music on iClod.

    hello. 
    i followed your link on how to delete content from all things Apple, and nothing removes books, movies, music... it just gives said device(s) the iCloud/download icon on top of the book, movie...  not sure what the 'hide' purchase actually does - after X'ing/hide, everything STILL appears across all devices using that account.  could you clarify this any further?
    if i am understanding iTunes correctly, then EVERYTHING we download (free or purchased) will be FOREVER accessible with zero way for us to control what is filling up this mysterious vault called the cloud?  (creepy- apple is keeping EVERYTHING, what happens when the cloud gets full?)
    since we have iCloud.com and it shows our "stuff" that we iCloud sync from our devices such as notes, contacts, calendar... then why doesn't apple provide an iCloud.com tab that shows ALL of our purchases so we as CONSUMERS control/delete what is in our account? 
    we download ALOT of apps to try and then delete them off our devices.  that works fine, but movies and books are always there.  maybe a glitch?

  • How do i upload music from my itunes account to my iphone ?

    how do i upload music from my itunes account to my iphone ?

    Hi viper1997,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    There are two ways to get music onto your iPhone.  If you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer, you can setup manual syncing so that you transfer the playlists, artists or albums that you want on your iPhone.
    You can also download music you've already purchased from the iTunes store to your iPhone at any time.
    The following links will provide additional information to get you started.   You don't mention what computer you are using, so I'll assume a Mac for now, as the basics are the same.
    The iPhone User Guide is a good place to start:
