I had to change my Apple ID because it was using an email I no longer have access to. I cannot update apps. HELP

I had to change my Apple ID because it was using an email I no longer have access to. I was able to change it just fine. Now when I try an upodate my apps, it brings up my old Aple ID name so I am unable to update my apps. How do I change the that?

Hi tabby4800,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you may have created a new Apple ID and not edited the old one. Any applications that were downloaded from the old account will need the Apple ID and password from the account that downloaded them to update. You can either enter the password for that account or delete the applications and download them fresh from your new account to resolve this issue. Please refer to the following discussion for further information.

Have an iTunes account w/email addr I no longer have access to... how in the world can i combine that with my new Apple account

I have had an iPod Nano for several years and had an iTunes account. I no longer have access to the email address connected to that account. I just bought an iPhone4s and set up a new account with my current email address as user id. How can i get these 2 accounts combined so I can sync music from my iPod to my iPhone?

You cannot combine accounts at all.
Why did you create a new one?
Just change the e-mail address associated with the old one.

HT1420 My Laptop was stolen and I am unable to deauthorize it. How can I deauthorize computers I no longer have access to?

How can I authorize my new laptop when my old laptop was stolen and I am unable to deauthorize it? There are three other computers apparently on my account that I also am no aware of , nor do I have access to. I am unable to add any new computers to my account.

You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. Otherwise you can "deauthorize all" from your iTunes account.
Open iTunes on a computer
From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
Under "Computer Authorizations" select "Deauthorize All".
Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "deauthorize all" your authorized computers, authorize each one as required.

HT1349 how can i delete an apple id for itunes and install another

Hello, My daughter has an apple id password on my ipad 2 and i wan to delete her account off my ipod 2

I have seen folks report that they have changed the Apple ID in Settings, but when they want to buy something another ID or their old ID appears, so I have always told folks to change the ID in both places, with the proviso that if they see the wrong account to sign out.
I cannot test it here because my two Apple IDs used in the store apps are for two different countries. So when I change the Apple ID in Settings, up pops an alert that the ID that I just entered is only good in a particular country's store and then both the iTunes Store and the App Store apps pop open and make the change. I cannot test what might occur with two IDs from the same country.

How do I deauthorize computers I no longer have access to?

My hard drive crashed on my laptop so I put a new hard drive and installed a new OS so I was unable to deauthorize the computer. Since then I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 and forgot to deauthorize. Now iTunes is counting that one computer as 3 separate authorized computers. How do I deauthorize those other "no longer existing" computers from a different computer?

If you have not reached your 5 computer limit, you cannot deauthorize the old computers. Either authorize your account on some friends machines to get up to 5, then deauthorize them all in your iTunes account yourself... OR... call Apple Support and ask them to do it for you (say that you think your account might be compromised if they don't).

How do I de-authorize home sharing on computers I no longer have access to?

I am trying to turn on home sharing with a new work computer...but cannot because I am already authorized on past machines (5 in total). How do I DE-AUTHORIZE old machines without access to them?

If you have reached the 5 computer limit you can deauthorise all and then just authorise the latest ones...

How do i connect my apple ID with itunes?

I keep on trying to sign into itunes with my apple id, but it never works . How do I connect my apple ID with itunes?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
You may find that when you try to do this, the password for your old ID it isn't accepted. If this happens, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I changed the email address for Apple ID, but can't get iCloud to change. I no longer have access to old email. It keeps popping up wanting password for old account. What do I do"

I will give my laptop to someone else, how do I unlink my apple id? Do I need to remove the apps I downloaded with my id?

I will give my laptop to someone else, how do I unlink my apple id? Is it just the app store unlink? Do I need to remove the apps I downloaded with my id? Will they get removed when I unlink my apple id?
Are there any other procedures I need to take into account?
Thanks

You need to remove all software that you acquired from the Mac App Store, including newer versions of OS X. These are all registered to you and encoded with your Apple ID in the licensed copy. You cannot legally pass any of the software to the new owner, which is why Apple states to erase the Mac and return it to the version of OS X that shipped from the factory on the Mac. You must also remove any older Apple software that you installed by DVD or pass the DVD to the new owner with the Mac.

How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

"Method Three
Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks
