How to update Apple ID on iPad

I just updated my Apple ID with a new email address and changed the username. I am trying to set up iCloud and it keeps asking me to sign onto my AppleID and displays my old username. I was able to get the iTunes and App Store to display my latest Apple ID information. How do I change this so I can set up iCloud. (I did try to reset my password at the prompt for my AppleID but all the fields were gray and I could not enter my AppleID).

I answered my own question. I deleted the account and was able to reenter the apple id.

How to Update iCloud On My IPad and Iphone

Hi,
I recently changed my Apple ID e-mail and now I cannot figure out how to update it on my Ipad Mini or Iphone 5c. When I go to setting and then to ICloud it still shows my old apple ID e-mail. I am not able to delete my account from either device because it's asking for my password but I changed my e-mail and password. Is their anyone who can help me so I don't have to go into an Apple Store?
Thank you
Duskie

If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, 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. 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 iDevice, 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 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 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 to update apple ID in iCloud settings

Apple ID is greyed out, how to update apple ID in settings for iCloud on iPad mini?

If you want to move to a new, separate iCloud account you have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. Deleting the account will only delete it from your phone, not from iCloud. This will not effect other devices still using the account. Also, you can continue to share your ID for the iTunes and App stores even though you will have a different ID for iCloud. They do not need to be the same.
To begin, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them. To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, if you have any data in either iCloud account that you no longer want (such as someone else's contacts) you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete it.

HT1600 Apple TV update unsuccessful, how to update Apple TV software

Apple TV update unsuccessful, how to update Apple TV software

Hi (Bonjour)!
Same problem here, the Apple TV 3rd gen. has suggested an update, but despite the complete download, the process failed on the second step(progress bar) and I've got an "connect to iTune with micro USB cable" splash screen, no white LED on ATV.
I've connected the ATV unit to my "up to date for all soft" 2013 iMac, and I've got the restore Apple TV dialog. The download completes, but the update process failed with an "1611 error" warning. It seems that his error is related to virus protection software. But... I do not use any virus protection software... so I can't apply any suggested workaround to solve the problem.
I've now a dead box Apple TV.
Bad, bad move when selecting "apply update" on a pretty usable ATV.

Step-by-step on how to update a friend's iPad using my computer

Recently I was asked to update my friend's iPad.   Her old computer was not usable any more!    I was very apprehansive about doing this, as I did not want to get our "stuff" mixed up and also did not want to lose any of our "stuff".
I posted this question on the forums and a couple people replied, and even though I got some good information, I felt that it was not enough.
So I contacted my son, who is a whiz with computers (at least I think so!) and he gave me the following very detailed instructions on how to do the update. It went very smoothly and worked liked a charm.
I thought I would share it, as there might be others out there that need to help someone update their iPad with OS4 to the OS5.
Here is what my son wrote:
Which iOS version does she have? iPad Settings app --> General -->About --> Version
If she already has iOS 5 or higher, then it can all be done from the iPad... it just needs a WiFi connection to download the update. Go into Settings app --> General --> Software Update, and follow the prompts.
If she is starting from iOS less than 5: [Either print this email, or have it up on your iPad for quick and easy reference]
1. Create a user account on your computer just for her so that your iTunes and iPad settings don't get mixed up with hers.
   - System Preferences --> Users & Groups --> Click the lock, and enter your name and password for that computer.
   --> Hit the [ + ] button, and create a new account with your friends name.
2. Apple Menu --> Logout: YourName
3. You should see either a login/password prompt, or pictures for each account. Click or type to login to the new friend account.
4. Start iTunes.
5. Store menu --> Authorize this computer...
- enter her iTunes email and password. You should be able to figure out the email address at least from the iPad Settings screen. (I'm not sure where exactly to find it in iOS 4... but it will be in there as the AppleID or iTunes account or something like that. (Try Settings--> Store.)
She'll have to know the password -- failing that, try to recover it from http://iforgot.apple.com).
6. Plug in her iPad
7. Sync. (Say yes to any questions about copying apps and files from the iPad to iTunes). Say no to anything about updating the software at this point.
(This part could take an hour or more, or maybe it's the back-up, which is step 8.)
8. Back-up the iPad. (In the bar on the left in iTunes, ctrl-click the iPad, and select 'Backup...'
9. Now, do the iOS update... in the main iPad screen in iTunes, there should be a button to trigger the update.
10. Keep it plugged in to your computer, and when it's done updating, do a 'Restore from Backup' (it might do it automatically).
11. Sync one more time for good measure...
-- Now it should be on iOS 5.1, so all future updates can be done over the air without a computer.
Hope this helps!

Another way to transfer photos. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

HT4539 How to update iso 6 on iPad 2

Can an IPad 2 be updated to iOS 6? If so, how do you do it?

It can, and as your tagline says that you are on iOS 4.3.1 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes - when you've updated you will get a Settings > General > Software Update option appear on the iPad allowing future updates to be done directly on the iPad.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
iOS 6 will remove the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

HT4623 I cannot see sw update button in general section,pls help how to update iOS in my iPad 2

Hi I want to upgrade my iOS to 5 in my ipad2 but I cannot see nay upgrade button in the setting section.pls help how to upgrade my iOS now

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, as you have iOS 4 you can only update to iOS 7 (that is the only version that you can update to) via your computer's iTunes, as described half-way down the page that you posted from. You will need the current version of iTunes on your computer : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad via File > Devices > Back Up
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

After updates Apple TV and ipad won't wake mac

Since the latest update to Maverick and new itunes and Apple TV software neither my ipad or Apple TV will load my library from itunes. I have to go to the imac and wake it myself. Home sharing is on, I have done a hard reset of my time capsule, reset my Apple TV, restarted the imac, checked network settings to make sure my router is listed and at the top of the list. Airport utility is signed in to my Apple ID. Is there anything I am missing? This only started since the updates.

Hello John,
Thank you so much for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with accessing iTunes through your Apple TV and iPad. You have taken some really good steps to help isolate and troubleshoot the issue.
One additional thing that is important to check is if "Wake for network access" is enabled in System Preferences>Energy Saver. This will allow your iMac to wake from sleep when your Apple TV or iPad is trying to access it through the network.
You can find out more about this feature and other Energy Saver preferences in the following link:
