How do you change the apple id on the iphone 4

My son got an iphone and we set everything up with a new id and password.  However when the automatic Apple ID comes up, it always shows the old ID.
How do we get it to "read" the new ID?

Apps are permanently lokced to the Apple ID used to download them, this includes the free ones. If you do not know the password for the Apple ID used, you would need to delete them, and download them with the new Apple ID. There is no way to merge apps or anything purchased with the Apple ID of one to the account of another.
They can be deleted easy enough on the phone by holding down on the icon until you see them wiggle and the "x" show up. Click on the X and that deletes them. You do, however need to check in iTunes if they were synced to the computer. You would have to remove them there as well.

  • How do you change your apple id on your iphone 5

    how do you change your apple id on your iphone 5. I also increased storage and cannot update to latest software upgrade! ANNOYING!!!!
    Yes, I logged in and out of the Ap Store and it is correct on that end. I have signed in on my PC too and connected cell. I am out of tactics to resolve! Please help!

    If your phone is signed into an old ID and you are trying to change it to an updated version of the old ID, do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going 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.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  When finished goThen go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4?

    How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4. I am able to access my iTunes account using my new ID and password on my computer; however, my iphone has a different Apple ID and I do not have cannot access iTunes on this phone. 

    Also, if you have iCloud, you will probably also want to change the iCloud account on the phone to be yours:
    Settings>iCloud - if Account is not yours, go to the bottom and Delete Account. Then sign back on with your iCloud account info.
    Cheers,

  • How do you change the language of the apple tv for netflix

    How do you change the language of Netflix in apple tv?

    Ok, I figured out whats the problem. I configured Netflix on my smart TV (LG 47LW6500) and gives me the option to choose audio and subtitles. Then configured my preference on the Netflix web page and set default audio to english. And it is actually working with an exception, the default audio will be english unless there is an other language that has better audio, for example, if the movie has 3 languages English (Stereo), Spanish (Stereo) and Portuguese (Stereo) english will be default, but if the theres a case were 1 of the languages is not stereo but better, as 5.1 Dolby, the better audio will be automatically selected as default, for example if English (Stereo), Spanish (Stereo) and Portuguese (5.1 Dolby), then the movie will play in Portuguese, no matter what your default preference is.
    There is no way to fix this, because the ATV does not give the option to change the audio language on Netflix (It does on iTunes), and and Netflix App is omitting the web page preferences and the ATV preferences. Basically is and App problem, I don't know who developed the App, but the problem is definitely the app, that has not implemented all of the options the API allows.

  • How do you change the fuse in a UK Apple 5w USB Power Adapter?

    How do you change the fuse in a UK Apple 5w USB Power Adapter?
    Ours has stopped working and we presume it must be an internal fuse, but how do you access it as there is no 'slots' as on the 12w version?
    All UK power devices must be fused to comply with regs but I can't work out how you open the 5w adapter to change the fuse.

    This is the power adapter I have http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MD812B/A/apple-usb-power-adapter
    Is it really only a 12 month warranty? Seems a waste and environmentally criminal to throw away an adapter without being able to check the fuse!?

    How do you change the apple id on an IPAD if you want to gift it to someone else?

    to make it simple on you and the recipient follow this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661
    if you just want to change the apple id sign out in settings>icloud, settings>messages>send and recieve, settings>facetime, and settings>itunes and app store. Then sign into all of these locations with new apple id. ONLY PROBLEM WHEN DOING THIS WAY is when apps left on device from your apple id need updated they will require your apple id and password

    Just where are you going?
    and what do you see? A screen shot with personal info redacted would be great.

    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
