How to change apple user name on iPhone?

I've changed my Apple user name online but can't figure out how to change it on my iphone to sync.

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.  You will always be asked for the password associated with this ID when updating apps, regardless of whether or not you are using this ID for current purchases.  The only way to stop this is to delete the old apps from your phone and iTunes and repurchase them with your current ID.
Edit: to change the ID used for future purchases on your phone, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the new ID.  As explained above, you will still be prompted with the old ID when updating apps purchase with the older ID.

  • How to change my user name?

    I want to change the user name in "Users and Groups"
    I changed it so that in the upper right hand corner of the desktop it reflects the new name, but when I open the Users folder, it still has the old name.  I want to change the name of the main users folder.  However, I would rather not change my Apple ID (which is my old user name).

  • How to change Apple ID account on iPhone

    I changed my apple id on the apple website, and I try deleting the old account in my settings to set up the new one, but it requires a password. I enter my password but it doesn't work, and the screen says apple id or password is incorrect. the apple id is incorrect but I don't know how to change it on my phone..?

    You may have to go into settings of your phone and delete icloud account. Just make sure you respond to prompts by keeping information on the phone. Once it is done, just sign in with new id.

  • How to change admin user name?

    I have seen directions in this community related to earlier editons of OSX, but not to OS 10.8.  I just set up a new iMac.  In booting I established the user admin name "Bob", which is the name I wanted to use permanently.  However, when I subsequently ran Migration Assistant to transfer all of our data from my wife's old iMac to the new iMac, I received a message that the user "Bob" on the old iMac would have to be renamed (e.g. Bob1), since you can not have two users with the same name.  What I want to end up with is to delete the Bob account that I used only to boot up the new iMac and check Software Updarte, and use my "Bob" user migrated from the old iMac.  But, I want the migrated account to be "Bob", not "Bob1".  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    Hi, I followed your instructions but when I get to step 5, I don't get what is described in step 6. I only get a left-pointing red arrow and a text below that says "Name is already used by another user". So I cannot proceed further. Did I miss something?
    The user newuserfolder was created with the terminal and the files were moved there.

  • Change of user name

    Hi all,
    I just bought a Macbook pro. I was wondering if anyone knew how to change the user name of the computer. The one associated to the little house icon.
    I have been trying unsuccessfully to do it!
    A part that I'm really enjoying my new computer!
    thanks a lot!

    If it is new and you haven't added anything to it, just create a new account with the name you want. Make it able to administer the computer and then log in to it. Delete the other one, or keep it for testing and troubleshooting.

  • How can I change my user name on my iPhone 4S running )OS 8.1.1 so I can update my Apps

    How can I change my user name on my iPhone 4S running OS 8.1.1 so I can update my Apps?

    Hi jprohask63,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you have applications that were originally downloaded from a different Apple ID, you would need to sign out of the current Apple ID and sign in to the Apple ID that was used originally to download the application. To complete this process please follow the instructions provided in the attached article. 
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support

  • We have an itunes account on our desktop and my kids have it on their ipod and iphone. I went in and changed our user name from my old e-mail address which is no longer accessible to my new one and now either of my kids can access the itunes store..

    We have an itunes account on our desktop and both my kids have it on iphone and ipod. I went in and changed out user name from an old e-mail address which is no longer accessible to my one I use now... When the kids try to sign onto the itunes store it tells them they have the wrong user name..
    Can this be fixed??

    Did you change the email address or create a new Apple ID?
    If the email address associated with the account was merely changed, sign out of the Apple ID on the devices and sign in using the new credentials.

  • Changed my Apple User Name (email address) and home sharing no longer works?, Changed my Apple User Name (email address) and home sharing no longer works?

    I've had the 2nd generation Apple TV since this past October when it was released and it has worked fine until I recently changed my Apple User Name (email address). After changing my user name my Apple TV and iPhone 4 no longer find my shared network. Home sharing is enabled on all devices, including my Sony Vaio Laptop, iPhone4, and Apple TV 2nd generation. Everything else has remained constant, including service provider, router, modem, and internet security (Trend Micro). Also, my library is on a networked hard drive, which didnt seem to make a difference before, but I figured I'd mention it. Any thoughts?
    Thanks.

    Winston,
    Thank you for the information.  He confirmed that the ID and password are the same on every device.  This only started happending when he changed his User Name with Apple. 
    --Itunes is running on a Windows Vista Machine (Sony Vaio)
    --He has an Apple TV (2nd Gen)
    --He has an iPhone 4
    Can you tell me more about the technologies that apple uses to make "homesharing" work?  Do you think he may need to remove then re-install Bonjour?

    No problem, just "deauthorize all" and then authorize the four individually. You will lose nothing - except the ability to "deauthorize all" for another year.
    Don't change your Apple ID.
