HT204053 Apple ID conflict on a device

We had to change our apple id because it was older and not an email address. Now one of our devices will not allow us to download from the cloud because it is associated with another id. Well, web could, but we would have that 90 day moratorium on previous purchases & downloads. What should we do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes and iCloud are different. If you created a new ID to use with iCloud you don't need to use it for iTunes. Indeed if you had previously made purchases under your old ID from iTunes, you should avoid changing the ID you use.

  • HT204053 Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices?

    Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices? I just set up my IPhone 4S (first time user) using the same Apple ID as my daughters and now we receive each others texts, do I need to set up my own Apple ID account?

    Yes, you can.  In fact it's recommended that you use different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud.  You can still share the same ID for iTunes without any issues.
    You are getting each other's text messages because you're using the same ID for iMessage.  To fix this, one of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign in with a different ID.  To avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • HT204053 I changed my Apple ID on all my devices and Apple services but iCloud still shows my old Apple ID. How can I get it to update?

    I changed my Apple ID on all my devices and  services but iCloud still shows my old Apple ID. How can I get it to update?

    I asked the Apple Tech support people and their advice worked for me, it's a setting on the iPad itself. see below.
    Follow the below instructions to sign in with your new account name.
    1) From the home screen, tap Settings
    2) Tap Store
    3) Tap Sign Out
    4) Tap Sign In
    5) Enter your current account name "xxxx" and your password  and tap OK.
    If you are still unable to change the sign in name on your iPad, please sign into your account on your computer and then sync the iPad so the changes will be updated.
    good luck

  • How can i troubleshoot a "software conflict between a device and something in my original user account"

    hi
    my canon video camera (HV20) wasnt being recognised by iMovie (error message...in system report was "Unable to list FireWire devices".)
    in researching a solution i came across some firewire advice in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1151#trouble which suggests there may be a "software conflict between the device and something in your original user account."
    i changed to another account on my iMac and my camera connected immediately.
    is anybody able to explain how i go about fixing this "software conflict".
    many thanks
    Carlo

    With the Mail.app quit and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes > Outbox.mbox.
    The Outbox.mbox represents "Out" in the mailboxes drawer and is shared by all accounts.
    Delete the Outbox.mbox and empty the Trash.
    Launch Mail and a new Outbox.mbox will be created automatically by Mail within the Mailboxes folder and this should resolve the problem.

  • Audio to midi error - check conflict with external device - apogee rosetta

    hey there
    i have a problem and any help is much appreciated..
    basically i am running a quad xeon dual 2.66 machine under 10.4.10 and using logic 7.2. 1 gig ram.
    i am using a apogee rosetta 800 with the option x firewire card for my audio interface.
    whenever i set a track up to record and 'play' logic i get a message saying,
    'unable to sync audio to midi check conflict with external device' and then it says something like sample rate 43021 recognised.. something close to 44100 but not quite..
    so i think my problem is a clocking/sync one maybe? i have tried everything i could think of, including fixes suggested on the forums here, but nothing so far seems to help e.g making sure autosync in on the transport is unchecked, checking audio MIDI setup.
    worryingly with the few problems similar to this on the forums there doesn't seem to be a way to fix it!!
    anybody who could help would be a lifesaver.. this is destroying my workflow!! emailed apogee and im waiting for a reply.
    thank you very much

    Hi,
    Ok, then there can be a few more possibilities,
    Try this: unplug your Rosetta, and any other FireWire devices you might have. Basicallly you want to start Logic with the internal audio.
    If this works ok, then it is not an issue with the Mac's hardware, and is an issue with a FW device.
    Then, quit Logic, and plug in the Rosetta by itself. Boot Logic, and select it as the audio interface. Try playing stuff back. does it work? If yes, then the issue is with another FW device. If there is a issue, then there might be a corrupt driver, a bad FW cable, etc. Keep trying one by one to go through re-installing the drivers, and also try changing the FW cable. If this still does not solve it, there might be an issue with the Mac OS 10.4.10. You might need to install Pro App support 4.0. Also, there was a fix available from Apple not so long ago specifically for FW audio devices. Please do a search in Apple's suport site for "FireWire audio device" and see if you find the patch.
    If the Rosetta works when it is the only FW device hooked up to the Mac, then you have a conflict with another device, like a FW hard drive, etc... check each one until you find the culprit.
    Cheers

  • I'm trying to buy more storage on my iPad but when I get to the "buy" button, it has my old Apple ID and I can't go any farther. I've changed my Apple ID on all my devices, logged out, logged back in, rebooted, etc., but that one area still has old one.

    You can't buy more storage on an iPad. You are referring to space on iCloud and that probably won't accomplish what you are trying to do.

  • How do I change my Apple ID on only one device?

    How do I change my Apple ID on only one device? I inherited my husband's iPhone 5. He cleared it but I set it up with same Apple ID so we could share same iTunes account. However, I realised that there are inconveniences such as not being able to Facetime each other. In addition, his iTunes account is UK-based and we'd like to also have a New Zealand iTunes account for various reasons.

    Go to settings/icloud and sign out. Then sign in by creating a new Apple ID. Do the same in Settings for Messages, FaceTime and iTunes & App Store. Next, link your Apple IDs using Family Sharing so you can still share music and apps. Family Sharing - Apple Support

  • HT3819 Can I authorize mulitple apple ids on the same device so that what is purchased on either account will be loaded in both devices without having to use the same ID?

    Can I authorize mulitple apple ids on the same device so that what is purchased on either account will be loaded in both devices without having to use the same ID?
    My wife has a laptop and an iphone 4s, I have a laptop and and iphone 4s, our two sons have our old iphone 3s, we have an old laptop for our sons to use.  Our old iphones for our sons are deactivated as phones - so they are used as i-touches for songs, pictures and aps.  I want to use icloud (which I'm new to) to hopefully have all four iphones and all three computers stay synced with at least music - if not aps and pictures.  My wife has an apple ID and I have one.  I'd like to authorize all three laptops for both apple IDs so that we will still have our own accounts, but everything either of us buys will be automatically loaded into all three laptops and all four iphones.  Can this be done?
    Thanks,
    sstultzcostello

    Each person in your home can have their own Apple ID provided it is tied the their own separate email address.
    iTunes permits up to five authorized computers connected to a single Apple ID: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    For this all to work well, however, each user in your household should have a separate user account on the computer they commonly use.

  • HT3819 Can I have two apple accounts on a single device?

    Can I have two apple accounts on the same device?

    Don't know what that means.
    You can authorize your computer fro two accounts, then sync the content to the device.

  • I have exceeded creating Free Apple ID account on my device

    Upon activation of my ipod touch 4 last year, i have several errors encountered in creating my apple ID account. As I remember, I have created 3 accounts without verifications. Today, I was about to create another one because I will be using my activated apple account on my iphone, my device prompted me that I already exceeded  creation Free apple Id account on my device (ipod). What advice can you give me regarding this? Thanks!

    And what do I have to do if I am the 5-th owner of the device, and each of the previous owners have been created an apple ID for themeselves. WHAT TO DO NOW ? Shouldn't I have my own ID ?

    Hi there
    I'm getting a similar problem with my Macbook Pro. itunes match was working fine until two days ago when i created another 'user id' for the laptop and then an itunes account for that user under their profile. Now i cant turn on itunes match on my itunes under my user account. Contacted Apple today who said to use the Express Lane and email the problem and they might be able to make an 'exception' on the account. Otherwise I'll have to wait 88 days to access a lot of my music on the macbook pro. itunes match is still working on the iphone 4S and ipad2.
    Can anyone help? The only thought was too re-stream the laptop. Ive already tried deauthorising the other user but it made no difference.
    Thanks
    Jules

  • HT5706 trouble staying connected to air play with Apple TV even though my device is still connected to the internet and playing.

    Power cycling the ATV and router is generally a good place to start.

  • I have verified my new email address as my Apple ID but my IOS devices keep asking me to sign in to my previous email/Apple ID but have no access to it.  How can I stop or change this?

    I have verified my new email address as my Apple ID but my IOS devices keep asking me to sign in to my previous email/Apple ID but have no access to it.  How can I stop or change this?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, 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 need 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.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, 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 back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
