How do you change apple ID in app store when default is a .Mac address?

On an iPad I am trying to log in. The dialog box has a default .Mac user I'd. I use my comcast.net email as my ID. Can't see where to change that. Forces me to change my password only. Did that and don't want to do that again.

I have an old .mac iTunes account, it cannot be deleted, I use my new mobileme/iCloud account.
Both passwords are the same so it's easy to switch if any older Apps etc.. need updating..

how do I change my apple ID on my ipod?

- Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account

How can I change Apple ID for App Store?

I changed my Apple ID, Itunes on my Itouch recognizes it, but the app store does not. How can I change AppleID for App Store? When I try to update my apps it asks for the password for my old Apple ID which does not exist anymore.

Thank you for the reply. I've done that twice and have no problem getting into the ITunes store. Problem is that I have 12 apps that want to be updated. I go to App Store and slect to "update all" and first thing it does is bring up my old AppleID (no place to change it) and asks for the password for that Apple ID.
I tried doing a sync to my computer in case that would work, but no help. I wonder if I will have to do a complete reset just to fix this???

HT1311 how to change apple id on app store when you've already changed in settings

i have changed my apple id in the settings but when i got to update my apps its still under a different id how do i sort this out?

That happens because the app you are trying to update was first downloaded with a different ID and apps are forever linked to the ID htat was used to download them. The only way to fix is to delete the app and download it again with the desired ID

Settings-icloud-scroll to the bottom, select delete, if you want to keep the content select keep, otherwise it'll remove it. Then once it is done add the account information for the account you want on that phone. Your apple ID in settings-store will remain the same and each device can still purchase/use content from that account.

Changing apple ID in app stores

Anyone know how to change apple ID in app store. It will not let me put in my ID

I have the same problem. I downloaded Yosemite in a user account not realizing that installing it in the useraccount would install it to all accounts.
I went back to my admin to install it there. When I try to install it it uses the Apple ID for my user account, not the one I want to use. I went back to delete the download in the user account and I can't delete it without using my admin username and password, however my admin username and password will not work for anything in the user account but it always works when I use it in the admin account.
Does it matter which Apple ID I use to install Yosemite? I'd rather use mine but it will only accept my wifes.

Changing Apple ID in App Store

Hi,
I have an iphone 3 which i have only really used as a phone because I have never bothered to persevere with the difficulty of using the app store to do anything else. This morning i decided I would try to get ebay on my iphone. 3 hours later, no luck.
Ages ago I somehow have entered my Apple id incorrectly, but I can't make the phone log me out so I can re-enter my correct ID. I have reset the password numerous times, but the phone still uses the incorrect id which I can't change & I can't use. What do I do? As my 2 year contract is nearly up, next step is to chuck this phone & buy a different brand. I am so frustrated with it. People tell me how great they are & what they can do, but I can't even get google on mine because of the stupid app store that won't let me in.
I need serious help. thanks

Assuming you have purchased no apps and no media with that existing Apple ID, it's best to chuck that instead of the phone, create a new Apple ID (and password), and pretty much start over from scratch. Nothing you need to do to get access to the iTunes Store is difficult, although some things might seem a bit obtuse if you've never done them before.
First, let's get you logged out of the App Store on the phone, and logged out of the iTunes Store on your computer. Phone first:
1- Go to the Settings app, scroll down to the Store icon, tap on it.
2- Look for the words APPLE ID: followed by your current Apple ID name. Tap on that.
3- A popup will appear with several choices. Tap on SIGN OUT.
Now your computer:
1- Launch iTunes.
2- Look at the menu bar for STORE.
3- Under the STORE menu, select SIGN OUT.
Go to this web page and create a new Apple ID:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Record your new Apple ID and your password somewhere safe - NOT IN SOME NOTE FILE ON YOUR PHONE OR COMPUTER! You don't ever want to forget or lose this, but you don't want anyone to easily filch them, either.
Now sign in with your new Apple ID and password both within the Settings app on your iPhone and within iTunes on your computer.
Look around the iTunes App Store using your computer's iTunes application. Download a free song or two (there are several new free songs available every week) and download a couple of free apps (there are thousands of them - just pick a few for now, you can get the ones you really want later).
Now connect your iPhone to your computer using the USB charge cable.
An icon for your iPhone should appear in the left-hand column of the iTunes window. Click on that.
In the resulting right-hand column of the iTunes window, look for the SYNC NOW button in the lower right corner.
Good luck! It's much easier than all these instructions make it appear at first.
edit: One other thought- You might want to be sure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS available for it, or at least the last available version of iOS 3. You can do that from the right-hand column of the iTunes window while your phone is connected to your computer.

Change apple-id in App-store?

I had to change my apple-id, but the app-store continues to us my old apple-id. How can I change it? Updates and new apps I download with the appstore allways are registred with my old apple-id. Thats a big problem, because I have forgotten the safetycode.

If you sold your Mac to a stranger or friend, before doing so, your obligation, as per Apple and the Terms of Use for OS X and any apps that you bought (free & paid) from the Mac App Store, is to erase the Mac and install the latest version of the version of Mac OS X that originally shipped on the Mac. If it was OS X Snow Leopard 10.6 or earlier that shipped from the factory on the Mac, you should use the Install DVDs that came with the Mac and reinstall Snow Leopard and then install the latest update combo. If it was OS X Lion 10.7 or later that shipped from the factory on the Mac, you should use OS X Recovery which will install the most recent version of OS X that shipped on the Mac from the factory.
What to do before selling or giving away your Mac

If you recieve a used Mac and this has not been done, you are in receipt of pirated software that you will never be able to update without the Apple ID of the previous owner. The Apple ID is encoded in the licensed copies of the software installed on the Mac, it is in the software's DNA and cannot be legally changed.

HT1311 i can't change apple id in app store

I can' change apple id in app store

What exactly are you trying to do, and on what on ?
If an iOS device then you can log out of an account by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store - if that is greyed out then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Accounts is not set to 'Don't Allow Changes
If a computer's iTunes then you can log out of an account via the Store > Sign Out menu option, and that will then change to Store > Sign In
All apps, and any other content that you download from the store, are tied to the account that downloaded it.
