How to update device with new Apple ID
I have an iphone 4s and I can't get the appleID changed on the device itself as the address is grayed out. Any ideas on how to change the applieID on the device once the the appleID has been changed on the website? It also appears that I cannot log-in with my old ID but yet I can't get it off my phone. Therefore I cannot download anything on the iphone itself. Thanks!
As stated the only way to update apps associated with an old ID is to enter the password for the old ID. To change this delete the apps associated with the old ID. Backup data first as deleting the apps may result in the loss of its data. Also note that you will have to purchase again any apps that have a fee.

I am trying to find out about all my associated devices. I recently got a message that I had used my last device, and am not sure how this can be. The instructions for accessing the info via the iTunes account info page apparently were not shared with the programmers since there is no Manage Devices button or option as far as I can see. How do I do this?
After hours and hours of failed searches, I must have used a different keyword in my Google search, and here is the website that I was looking for:
https://supportprofile.apple.com
And here is the guy whose website I found that helped me solve my problem:
http://www.marcomc.com/2011/01/how-to-find-the-list-of-my-apple-registered-produ cts/
I was going to rant here about how badly Apple designed their "Apple Id" stuff, how they strongly distinguish between using your Apple Id at the online Apple Store vs. using it at the App Store (which you have to get to via iTunes ... quite ridiculous) ... but I won't. :-)
Anyway, I hope that the two previously mentioned websites will be of help to others. -
I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it. When I first try to open it the pop us says: "You can't use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X. Version: 9.2.1" When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id - These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID and they will be available in that Apple ID's purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the application". I checked and there is nothing under the "purchases" in my App store. Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id - This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canceled." Then the third pop up says "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again". Just want to know how do to fix.
After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

Got it! Thanx. What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed. -
I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id. Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id. How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?
If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go 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.

I am unable to update devices with Apple Configurator because of this message - unable to send ClearPasscode command to device - I am running Configurator 1.5 and ios 7.1.1. I am unable to rename/number devices. How can I get rid of this error message.
I've just seen this message for the first time and it's showing on 10 devices.
What I really love about Apple Configurator is the copious amount of context driven help offered to you.

HT1311 How can I get updates for apps with new Apple ID
How can I get updates for apps with new Apple ID. I have apps that I got for free, and some that I have purchased. I had to create a new Apple ID because I don't have a credit card now.
Apps will always be tied to the ID in which they were purchased or downloaded under. You can not change this unless you buy or download the free app using the new ID.

MY wife has an Iphone 4 and I have a 5. To date we have used one apple account to manage music purchases/library. I updated ny phone to the new OS version and all her texting is showing up on my phone. I understand if i create an apple account for her I will not see her texts. Recently we bought a Mac and created a new apple account for her. How do I synched her phone with new apple account and get access to the music library under my account on the new MAC laptop before I update her phone to the new OS?
Going forward if I purchase music under my apple id and want her to have it on her device, how can I acheive that?You can continue to share an Apple ID for purchases.
Sign her in to her new account here:
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (Keep on Phone if you want to transfer contacts, calendars, etc...) then sign in with her new ID
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
Settings > FaceTime > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
Use the same Apple ID here:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID -
Just updated my login to apple on mac but ipad still displaying old email for login. Anyone know how to update ipad to new login details?
Hello Beeched,
Thank you for the question. Are you seeing the previous Apple ID in the iTunes and App Store? If you are, use these steps to sign in with your new Apple ID:
Sign in with a different Apple ID
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
Tap your Apple ID.
If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
Tap Sign Out.
Enter your Apple ID and Password and tap Sign In.
Or if you don't have another Apple ID, tap Create New Apple ID.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311
If you trying to change the Apple ID signed into iCloud, use these steps:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings

Once you delete the account from your device, you will have an option to sign in with your new Apple ID in Settings>iCloud.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Hi, ive recentley got a new iphone 5C. I am trying to download apps on the appstore but it wont let me. It says this: Update Unavailable with this Apple ID.
This update is not available for this apple ID because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
How do u fix this??Apps are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.
Either use the original AppleID or delete the app and then download again
using your current AppleID. You cannot transfer an app from one AppleID to
another, nor can you merge AppleIDs. -
I have just upgraded to Windows 8 and my scyning and upgrading my phone with new apple software fails, Itunes looses connection with the device (phone), cant backup the phone or download new software, is this an issues with Windows
Hi, stig2013.
I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If you are receiving an error message, find the exact error number that you recieved in the article below and process the steps.
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

How do I associate a device with my Apple ID?
I have an iPad and an iPhone. I sync them with my iMac desktop computer, and never with any other. I always use the same Apple ID. As far as I know, it's the only one I have.
Recently, I purchased an app using my iPad. The next time I synced the iPad with the computer, I got an alert saying "The purchased item 'App' on the iPad
'Etchemendy's iPad' could not be transferred to your iTunes library because you are not authorized for it on this computer." The alert goes on, in fine print, to say, "To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize This Computer."
So I choose Store > Authorize This Computer, and I get a second alert saying, "This computer is already authorized." A nifty little continuous loop that neatly precludes me from using the app on any device except the one I used to purchase it.
But it gets better. In stumbling around trying to figure out what's going on here, I accessed "My Account" using iTunes on my desktop computer (logging in with the same Apple ID I used to purchse the troublesome app). When I click "Manage Devices," I arrive at a box that says, "These computers and devices are associated with your Apple ID for Automatic Downloads or to download previously purchased music, apps, and books..." It then gives me a "list" showing just one device -- my iPhone. The iPad is not shown here. Neither is the desktop computer iTunes just told me is already authorized. There's a button that says "Remove" next to the iPhone. And two bigger buttons. One says "Cancel" and the other says "Done." There is no "add a device" option.
So how to I associate a device with my Apple ID? And, as a matter of fact, why aren't all the devices I registered using my Apple ID already associated with it? I never had any of these problems till the big iOS system upgrade a few months ago. Since which, my interactions with Apple have nearly all been nightmarish. Apple obviously put the WAY wrong guy in charge of iOS development.
Oh. And BTW, when I look at the drop-down menu for choosing the "product" I'm having a problem with, only about half the devices registered with my Apple ID appear there. And I have no clue what kind of iPad I currently have. I have the warranty right in front of me, and all it says is "iPad WiFi 64GB Black." No doubt if I try to solve this using Apple phone support, I'll have to pay $20 to straighten out Apple's problem for them. Which is why I'm here.My guess is you're using a long Apple ID and just omitted or mistyped a letter sometime, or something similar.
Anyway, the way to recover is this:
You cannot change ownership of the mistyped Apple ID to the correct one. After all, the mistyped one purchased it. However, you can authorize purchases from the mistyped Apple ID on your devices by doing Store > Authorize This Computer on iTunes on your computer, and enter the mistyped Apple ID and password. Then sync again and you'll be all set.
When you change computer (e.g., sell your current one and buy a replacement), you'll have to repeat this process. -
