How do I update the Apple ID used on my iPhone?

I changed my Apple ID on my computer and synced my phone but I am still getting a message saying my phone can not update with iCloud. My iPhone is still showing my old Apple ID but I can't access it via iPhone to update it. I have logged in and out of iTunes and I have turned my phone off and on. I can't figure out how to get my updated ID to sync with my phone. Help, please!

Go into settings, and iTunes & App Stores, and change your Apple ID that way. If you are still having problems with this issue you cand definitely contact

How do I update the apple ID on iCloud?

I changed the email address associated with my apple ID. However, my old email address is still showing in iCloud. It keeps asking for my password, but won't let me in because the ID is wrong. How can I update the apple ID to the show the correct email address in iCloud? I did update the email address in the users & groups under "system" on my mac, but that didn't solve the problem.
Thanks

HT5624 How do I update my Apple ID on iPad and iPhone after changing it?

How do I update my Apple ID email address on iPhone and iPad after changing the email but not password. I have verified my new email on iPhone iPad and iMac but settings on all for iCloud still show my old email address. I can't use anything now that needs my Apple ID

Hello there, Chivs86.
From what it sounds like you are wanting to sign out of iCloud with the "old" ID and sign in with the new. The following Knowledge Base article should help you with that issue:
iCloud: Features that work with one account at a time on iOS 5 and OS X Lion or later
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4020
Specifically:
To change a secondary account to a primary account
iOS 5 or later:
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Delete the secondary account.
Tap the Back button.
Tap iCloud.
Delete the primary account.
Add the secondary account that you want to be your primary account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

No! Apple is not law enforcement and therefore does not have personal investigating lost or stolen property other than Apple's own.
Even if they had the information data protection laws would prevent them from giving it to you or anybody else including law enforcement.

How do I change the apple Id used for updating apps and downloading them

I bought an iPad from someone and I changed the apple ID but for some reason when I try to update the apps the old apple ID comes up from the previous owner ...........I just need to know how I possibly can change it

You cannot. Purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID and its account used when making the purchase. You cannot transfer purchases.
The reality is you do not own the apps on that iPad - the previous owner does. If you want them for yourself and want to be able to update them as needed, or re-download them as needed, you will have to delete the copies on the iPad, then purchase them with your own AppleID.

HT204053 My e-mail address has changed. How do I update the Apple ID that is showing for my iCloud?

My e-mail address that was used for my Apple ID has changed. I have changed my Apple ID to my new e-mail address, but how do I go about changing my iCloud to my new Apple ID?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

How can I update the BIOS without using a CD?

Hello!
I have recently decided to upgrade my RAM from 2GB to 4GB. After installing, I booted up my computer to find that it would not recognize the new memory. After doing a bit of troubleshooting, I decided to try and update the BIOS, as the version was from 2010. I downloaded the BIOS update boot CD application from lenovo, burned a disc, and on reboot I found that the boot order did not have CD listed on it. Here's the catch: I don't have the supervisor password. This is a hand-me-down laptop, and I have tried to find the password to no avail. This is the current boot order: USB drive, Hard drive.
My question is, can I either create a BIOS update disc using a USB, or update the BIOS some other way?
I understand that it is impossible to recover the supervisor password without having it serviced (which I would rather not do, even if I have to send my RAM back to Crucial)
My system specs:
Thinkpad L512
Bios version: 1.04
Bios date: 2010-3-26
Embeded Controller Version: 1.01
Windows 7 32 bit
Thanks for your help.
Solved!

Welcome to the forum!
Two things here:
a) If you run System Update, it should offer the latest BIOS for your machine as well. I've never done it on a passworded unit, so it might or might not work but might be worth a shot.
b) I doubt that the ability of the system to recognize new RAM has anything to do with the BIOS. ThinkPads much older than yours will run 4-8GB RAM with an old BIOS, older than your machine to begin with.
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

HT201441 How do I update my apple ID for find my iphone when it is linked to an old deleted email address that is not recoverable

I recently changed my apple ID after I deleted my old email address which is no longer recoverable. I cannot get the find my iphone app to work. When I log in to try and change my apple id to the current one, or delete the account, it asks me for my password to the old email (apple id). I have no idea how to change this to be current. The password for my old apple id will not work and I am going in circles. When I log into the app and use my current apple id it does not locate any of my devices. They all say they are offline but are not. Any suggestions or help on how to unlink my old apple id to this app??

Hello Fatboy896,
You may need to temporarily change your Apple ID back, sign out of iCloud on your device, then revert the change to your Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.

How do I change the Apple ID listed in my iPhone iCloud settings?

I've been trying to move to iCloud on my iPhone 4. However, somehow, the Apple ID in my Settings > iCloud is incorrect. I can't find a way to change it - the edit option when the password fails doesn't allow me to change the Apple ID, only the password. Any thoughts?

Thank you! I should have known it would be that simple...
