How to use a different Apple ID on iPad 2?

Since buying an iPad 2 a few months ago I have been able to use FaceTime regularly and successfully - until yesterday when I found I could neither send nor receive calls.
When I opened FaceTime, instead of showing my list of contacts, it showed a panel with my correct Apple ID  but asking if I wanted to ceate a new Apple ID. However that option was greyed out so there was nothing I could do from that panel.
I set up a new ID on my iMac and FaceTime worked again as usual. However it now shows the new Apple ID, which I don't want to use, in Settings.
How can I revert to my original Apple ID which is linked to my credit card details? What happens if someone were to sell an iPad? Neither the buyer nor the seller would want to leave the sellers' Apple ID on the device.
Any thoughts on why it might have failed?
Robin

You can tap on the currently logged in id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log in with a different account (any currently downloaded/synced content will remain tied to that account). But if you turn on automatic downloads for an account or download its past purchases then you may tie that device or computer to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

  • How can I use Family Sharing for Store purchases if I use a different Apple ID for purchases?

    A key feature of Apple's iCloud Family Sharing is the ability to share store purchases with invited family members. However, like many people, I use a different Apple ID for iCloud and Store purchases (ironically, primarily for the exact purpose of sharing among family).
    Can I use iCloud Family Sharing to share purchases if I use a different Apple ID for Store (iTunes, App Store, etc.) purchases?

    Sorry, let me clarify. I have two Apple IDs A and B:
    A: Used for iCloud. All my calendar, mail, contacts, and other iCloud features are here. This is the ID I use as "the" iCloud on my iOS devices and OS X machines.
    B: Used only for purchases, on all my devices and machines. This is what I used to log into iTunes, or to buy apps for iOS or OS X.
    The issue is that the only way (currently) to set up Family Sharing is to invite from an iCloud ID (A, in my case) on an iOS 8 device. That's not the ID (B) I use for purchases. The question is whether there's a way to share those purchases given that I'm configured on all my devices with A for iCloud. (Clearly if I somehow send invitations from B, I can share purchases; but that's not the question.)
    It sounds like the answer to that question is 'No'.
    If that's the case, how do I invite from B? Do I have to configure an iOS device with B as the iCloud ID? My problem isn't that I want to ("willy nilly") avoid inviting form B; it's that there seems to be no way (certainly no convenient way) to do that.

  • How can I use a different Apple ID withthe App Store?

    When I access the App Store from my iPhone 3G it asks me to enter the password for an Apple ID.

    It will use the account you are currently signed into with iTunes when you synced. So in iTunes, change your account, then sync. Then the iPhone will use that one.

  • How can I use a different Apple ID for Find My iPhone than for iCloud syncing/storage and iTunes purchases?

    I use two different Apple ID's for two iPhone 4's and for iTunes on my PC. I use one for purchases and the other for Find My iPhone on both phones. How can I set up iCloud for both phones using each ID for it's user for storage and backup but keep one ID for purchases and one for Find My iPhone on both phones?

    To better describe what I am needing:
    1. - iPhone 1
    2. - iPhone 2
    A. - Apple ID #1
    B. - Apple ID #2
    On 1. I need A for purchases and iCloud and B for Find My iPhone.
    On 2. I need A for purchases and B for iCloud and Find My iPhone.
    In addition, will iCloud store text messages?

  • I downloded music using a different apple id on my ipad then i changed my id to match my iphone but it isnt showing my music i bought with my other id on icloud. how can i get my music back!?

    i downloded music using a different apple id on my ipad then i changed my id on my ipad to match my iphone but it isnt showing my music i bought with my old ipad apple id on icloud. how can i get my music back!?

    It won't show on iCloud because iCloud is associated with a specific Apple ID.  The music should be on your computer's iTunes and a Sync will put it on the iPad (be sure to configure iTunes properly).  If you want to get it from iCloud, I think that you need to temporarily change your ID back to the old one but I've never done that myself.

  • HT5622 How do I change the Apple id against a certain telephone number?  I have two iPhones and wish to use a different Apple id for each and confused as to how I do this?

    How do I change the Apple id against a certain telephone number?  I have two iPhones and wish to use a different Apple id for each and confused as to how I do this?

    Create a new Apple ID for the second phone. If you are setting the phones up as new phone enter the ID you want to use on each phone.
    If both phones are already signed in to one Apple ID then use the settings app to change Apple IDs on one phone.
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > tap on the Apple ID > sign out > sign in with alternate Apple ID.
    Note that if you have downloaded apps with the original Apple ID on the phone with the new Apple ID, those apps will still be associated with the old Apple ID and will require the old ID and password in order to update them.

    Do you mean can you use one Apple ID for FaceTime and one for iMessage? You should be able to. Or, do you mean, can you log into iMessage (or FaceTime) with two Apple IDs at once? No.
