How do you update an Apple ID on an existing device?

I 've had an iPad for years and recently had to change my Apple ID from a name to an email address.
How do I update the iPad to my "new" Apple ID? I think that's why I can't update any of my apps since the prompt still has my old Apple ID.

On your iPad...
Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out...
Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID

    If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Delete them and then download them from the desired Apple ID. This may require repurchasing paid applications.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    iCloud is asociated with the Apple ID, so you can't change this for another Apple ID

  • How do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

    how do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

    I have multiple IDs and use the single computer sharing itunes. By 'sharing' I mean we open the pc, open itunes and log in with our individual ID as required.
    While Im logged in I plug in  my device. I transfer my purchases from my device as per the file menu (not the check for auto downloads). I move them as required to whichever playlist I like.
    Then when my son wants to use itunes or update his device, he logs in, plugs in his device, transfers purchases from his device, puts whatever music he wants into his playlist and/or drags direct to the device regardless of who purchased it and then syncs.
    Im not sure how it works associating the pc with only one ID or all that other business- I know I don't fiddle with any of that.

  • 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).

  • 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,
    Pedro D.

    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

  • HT1338 if I have an old mac with OS X, how can I update if Apple doesn't recognise that I need an update?!!

    if I have an old mac with OS X, how can I update if Apple doesn't recognise that I need an update?!!

    You need to buy an upgrade if one is compatible with your Mac model.
    PowerPC G3 Macs can only go to 10.4.11.
    PowerPC G4 and G5 Macs can only go to 10.5.8.
    Macs with a Core Solo or Core Duo CPU can only go to 10.6.8.
    Core 2 Duo and better Macs can go to 10.7.5 or 10.8.3 depending on their model. Upgrading to either requires going through 10.6.
