HT5787 Change apple id for all purchased apps...

I want to change apple id in my iphone as my old apple ID's password is not working. Please help me. I want to change apple ID for all new and old purchases.

Have you tried logging out an back into that account on your phone (tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store), and/or tried getting the password reset for it : http://iforgot.apple.com (if you do get the password reset then you might need to logout and back into it) ?
If you create a new account then that will work for new purchases, but all of your existing downloads will remain tied to your old account, so only your old account will be able to redownload those purchases and/or download updates to its apps.

How to change apple id on iPhone. Wife and I have same apple ID. Get each others iMessages. want to put her on another cloud with different id.

How to change apple id on iPhone? Wife and I have same apple ID which causes me to get her iMessages instead of her. I also get all her pics on my phone and I don't want them. We need to change her apple ID without causing my ID and cloud to be closed.

Have her create a new ID.   Here: https://appleid.apple.com/
Have her log out of iMessage/Facetime/iCloud on her device.   Now have her use the new ID she has created.
That should keep the 2 of you separated, except for iTunes purchases.   You can share that ID in a family up to 5 devices.

I can't get FaceTime or iMessage to connect, I enter valid password (tested and works for Apple account) and it won't connect. I have checked all settings, upgrades iOS to 8.3 rebooted, changed Apple acount PW still wont connect. My internet connection is fine Safari works and I can access all sites. I have an iPad 2. Any help on this will be greatly appreciate. iPad 2, iOS 8.3

This is an ongoing problem as you will see by searching the forum.
Out of curiosity, do you have 2 step verification enabled? It was recently extended to include iMessage & FaceTime & I'm wondering if it might be causing some of the issues that some users are experiencing.

You need to call Apple at 1800myapple or check your rescue email.

TS3988 iCloud will not accept any passwords after upgrading OS. 2 days of trying every password I have ever used, AND changing Apple ID and iTunes ID, still nothing. Can't backup on iCloud anymore.

How can I use iCloud again after upgrading OS to Mountain Lion? 2 days of trying every password I have ever used, AND changing Apple ID and iTunes ID, still nothing. Can't backup on iCloud anymore.

Apple ID's can be used for anything, a single ID can be used for all your accounts (ie iCloud, iTunes, MAS, Apple community etc), ideally this would be the way forward. So far as iTunes goes you need to continue to use the same ID as you have always used or you will lose access to your previous purchases and your iTunes match subscription.
If you are using a second ID for iCloud, you can continue to do so or use the ID you use for iTunes, but if you choose the later you will need to move all your calendar, contact etc data to the account using the ID you use for iTunes.
When (if) you change which account you use you would delete the account on an iOS device and log back in with the correct details, on a mac you would sign out in the iCloud system preference pane.

I have Iphone 4s, and the phone will activate itself again. How do I get changed Apple ID on my phone so that I get using the new username and password that is verified? I would like an answer as soon as possible ... Thank you very much.

I have Iphone 4s, and the phone will activate itself again. This I have verified, but when I shall put this onto my phone, so the phone will not approve the newusername and password. How do I get changed Apple ID on my phone so that I get using the new username and password that is verified? Silly to buy a new phone just for this .... The phone is almost three years old. How long can weexpect this to last? I would like an answer as soon as possible ... Thank you very much.

It sounds like your device might be in Activation Lock. Is it asking your to enter in an Apple ID & password, but only showing you the first letter of the email address and then some dots? Example: j•••••@icloud.com?
If so, do you recognize that email? Do you have an Apple ID that fits the same format? If so, then go to www.cloud.com, log in with that Apple ID & password, and see if under Find My iPhone it shows this device. If so, turn off the device, then remove the device from the list.

How can i change Apple id on the administrator account?

I recently got an imac with the mac mini. I am switching over to mac from being a lifelong pc user, so this is new to me. When i first set up the computer i put in the apple id with my email address, but it was the same one that i use for my ipad. I am now trying to change this because when someone else is on the imac and i try to face time with them from the imac to my ipad it wont let me because i am basically calling myself. Or when i send messages through the messaging app from the imac to my another persons ipod it comes out with the email address that i have on my ipad. I tried to change it by going to System Preferences> Users and Groups> Change apple id. Yet when i change it and save it, it still has the old apple id. I am not sure if i am making any sense but if someone could please help me figure this out i would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks
Mariela

I agree with drdocument about having one Apple ID, but I have two because Apple switched to using email addresses, so my original ID was no longer "valid" in some cases.
Two switch the user ID, go to System Preferences/Users & Groups. After unlocking the lock, on the password tab you should see an Apple ID box. I was able to add both IDs and can switch between them.
I hope this helps.

HT5621 How do I keep one Apple ID on iPhone and iPad and change Apple ID on my daughters iPod and iPad that currently share same apple id

How do I change Apple ID on iPod 5 and iPad mini while keeping the same ID on iPad and iPhone. I only want to change ID on 2 devices. Currently they share same ID. Thanks

You can start a new Apple ID, just understand all purchases made under an Apple ID are forever associated with that ID and can't be switched to a new one.
The requirements of an Apple ID is that it be from a valid email account.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2204
Since many apps are free, they can be repurchased free with a new Apple ID.
If you purchased valuable apps under your ID, get a new one for your daughter. Or visa versa.
You can continue to keep them in one computer library which will allow you to sync them to all devices.
Updates will require the Apple ID and password from the purchasing Apple ID.

Changing Apple Id to be my Icloud email address?

I have been using my sky.com email address as my Apple Id but I am now trying to stop using that for anything. The apple web page for changing Apple Id will not let me use my icloud.com address as my apple id - it says it is an apple domain and that apple domains can't be used for apple ids. Is there any alternative to having two email addresses?
Also my IPhone (3Gs) does not like the icloud email address - when I try to set up the account it comes back and says it can't log onto the me.com imap server with the icloud address. Is icloud email compatable with iphone 3Gs?

JWBL, I am annoyed by exactly the same issue and there are more and more people complaining. See the discussion I created here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20844772?ac_cid=op123456#20844772
Roger, your point is that you should always have a non-Apple email address associated with your Apple ID so Apple can send you login information if you lose your password. That is certainly true. But it does not imply that that non-Apple address has to be the name of your Apple ID. And there is even a way to make an iCloud Address the name of your Apple ID: If you create a completely new Apple ID with the initial setup of an iPhone. But that is of course not an option if you already purchased stuff with your existing Apple ID.
It is not a major problem, but it kind of annoys me that I keep seeing my obsolete Gmail address everywhere after I switched to iCloud and it's just a ridiculous limitations I can't see any reason for.

Change apple id and removing girlfriends apps

Just bought new i iphone4, brought home started setting up and synced it on my girlfriends computer.
I now have all her apps, and i want to delete them, because i cant update them or buy others because her apple id appears every time i try to update or install new ones. I have gone to settings and changed apple id over to mine, but this doesn't help on her apps in trying to update them.
I really just want to start fresh even if i lose all her apps so i can buy new ones with my apple id account.
Please help

On your phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. That should take but a minute or two & when finished, the phone will look just like it did when first taken out of the box. Plug it into your computer/iTunes account, name it what you want & sync your content to the phone. It's not permitted under the EUSLA for you to have your girlfriends content on your phone anyway. If you're gonna use the same computer, create a separate computer login for yourself. This will insure there is no chance your content/data is intermingled.
