How to log out of my OLD apple ID on my 4s and use my new one?

When updating my iPhone 4s to the new ios7, my imessage stopped working as many others did. I finally got that fixed and as soon as that was fixed.. NOW my old apple id keeps popping up instead of my new one. I made my old one 5 years ago when i first got my macbook. How do I log out and stop using my old apple id?

To change the iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you have to temporarily recreate your 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.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your phone, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    How do I disable Photoshop on old laptop so I can download it on my new one. I cannot open it to uninstall it on my old one.  It seems to have disappeared.  I have the CC now and just want to put it on my new computer.

    you could reinstall it on your old computer and then click help>deactivate.  or, if you have cc on your old computer, open your cc app and sign out off cc.
    if you don't have access to your old computer you can ask adobe support to reset your activation, http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html

    Sorry, have I misunderstood you?
    If you have forgotten your password, then how did you create a new password? You cannot simply "create a new password" after forgetting the original one.
    How would you get into the account so that you could change it?

  • Is there a way to download and use an old verison (3) while also maintaining and using the newer verion? One of my clients using an invocing system that only supports up to version 3.

    I have a major client whose invoicing system only supports up to version 3 of Firefox. I'd love to be able to invoice them from home, but I don't want to downgrade my newest version of Firefox just for them.
    Is there a way to download Firefox 3 and install it, while still maintaining my version 6? I am using a new MacBookPro with OS 10.6.8.

    you can restore from your backup again just to get the notes. once you've restored from the backup, copy your notes into your icloud notes group or email them to yourself - basically, get them somewhere else so they're not just locally stored on the device. once you've moved your notes elsewhere, restore the device as new again like apple had you do. this will again put a fresh version of the operating system on your phone like it has right now
    there's no other way to access the notes that are in your backup

  • How bad does your phone have to be to send it away and get a new one?

    My blackberry 8520 keeps on resetting itself and freezing all the time, does this mean that i can send it away and get a new one for free?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    No one can say at an internet distance...only your specific qualified service center can say. Your contract is between you and either your wireless service provider or your authorized reseller...that contract will govern what could or could not be. You need to take it to your service provider for diagnosis and hopefully resolution.
    But, with what you've described, there are a whole host of diagnostic steps that could be attempted here, if you are willing.
    Good luck!

  • How do i sign out of an old apple Account so i can use my new account

    How do i sign out of an old apple account so i can begin using my new apple account

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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 > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

  • App store trying to use my old apple ID - how can I make it use my new one?

    Hope someone can help.
    I've changed my email address and created a new Apple ID. It works fine on my computer (have successfully bought music), works fine on ITunes on my iphone (again, successfully bought music), but the App store insists on my old ID (although of course it won't accept my old password.
    I've logged out and back in again in Settings, and synced before and after successfully making purchases in ITunes but to no avail.
    Any suggestions?

    I am having that exact same problem too. It locked me out of my old account for some reason, so I created a new one. I am able to log on, I recently bought music, and I changed my apple ID in the store settings in my iPhone. However, when I try to update my apps/try to buy new ones on my phone it keeps defaulting to the old one without giving an option to use a different ID. I rebooted my phone and searched for other areas that I might have to enter the new ID, but I can't find anything...

  • HT1481 How do I get rid of my music on my ipod shuffle and re enter new songs?

    How do I get rid of old songs on my ipod shuffle and re enter new songs??

    This is document lists the four iPod shuffle models and the ways to sync music to the shuffle.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
    The way you remove songs depends on the model (1st and 2nd gen versus 3rd and 4th gen), and the method being used to add songs.  I don't know your specifics (please provide), I'll go with one possibility...
    You have a 4th (current) gen shuffle and you use the manual method to load the shuffle, by dragging songs to the shuffle from your iTunes library in iTunes (or using the Autofill feature). If that is your shuffle model and how you load it...
    First, in the latest iTunes, the sidebar can be hidden.  To show it, go up to the menu bar, under View, and select Show Sidebar.
    To remove songs, select the shuffle in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  "Drop down" its content list, which is indented below the iPod.  Click on Music there.  Over to the right, you see a list of songs currently on the shuffle.  Select the song you want to remove, and hit the Delete key on keyboard.  Confirm action.  You can do this with one song, a selection of songs, or the entire list (by selecting Select All from the File menu). 
    If you have a 1st or 2nd gen shuffle, or you use automatic syncing (not manual loading or Autofill), please post back.

  • I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks it asks for the old account's password(which my ex changed by now)

    I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks (only happens with this app)it asks for the other account's password(which my ex changed by now). I don't understand why this happens when I'm logged into my account and it only happens with that app. Please help, I need to update. :/

    Content (apps, music, ibooks, films etc) is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so if the iBooks app was downloaded using the account that you used to share with your ex then only that account can download updates to it. As it's a free app you could delete it and re-download it under your own account - and then re-download your ibooks into it (or copy the books to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them back to the app).

  • My old Apple ID won't allow me to use the old password to log out of the cloud. I can't use the new one, either. The new Apple ID is in the iTunes and App store. But I can't change it on the cloud without logging out. Which I can't do.

    I can't use the old Apple id and Apple password on my new Iphone 6 - I can use the new ones. But I can't access the cloud in the meantime. The iTunes and App Stire has the new Apple ID, but I can't get into the settings to change it on the iCloud. It asks for the Old Apple ID and password, which doesn't work. Does anyone know how to change the old Apple ID on the iPhone in the settings for the iCloud?

    First, try the new password.  If you didn't sign out of iCloud prior to changing the primary email address of your Apple ID, this is what can cause this problem.
    Also, read this: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
