i have an apple id on my ipod & another for my macbook & iphone. how do i change the id for my ipod to match the one for my macbook & iphone?

To change the ID:
For iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>Facetime.
For Purchasing, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Stores (Settings>Store in iOS 5).
For iCloud, you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. Before deleting the account, 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 iPod. 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.

HT204053 I have two apple ids (one on itunes and one on icloud) I want them to be the same. How do I change my icloud id?

I have somehow got an apple ID for my itunes but a different one for my icloud. How can I change my icloud ID?

If you want to move your iCloud account to another existing ID you'll have to delete the existing account, set up a new account with the other ID, then upload your data to the new account. To do this, begin by going to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your phone. After everything is turned off you can scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Then set up the new account with your other ID and turn syncing for calendars, contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload your data to the new account. Note: this will not migrate your photo stream photos. You will need to save these prior to deleting the existing account.

HT204053 We have 2 apple ID's (one for each of us). How do I change the apple ID on my ipad?

My wife and I each have an apple ID for our ipad. How do we change the apple ID on our ipad for Iclouds? Can't seem to do it.

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
Best of luck,
Mario

If it is longer available then you can't get the app on your phone.

I have a different username on my icloud account on my iphone, how can I change it to my apple ID and log in? It was from when I initially set up the phone but needs updating but doesn't seem possible.

Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then set it up using your Apple ID.

I apparently have 3 apple IDs, and it's making it challenging to set up iCloud. Is there a way to combine them into the one I actually use?

You can't combine or merge iCloud IDs, but you can migrate the iCloud data from one account to another if you wanted to move it to a different ID.

I have recently immigrated to the US but my apple ID is still stuck with my previous country. How do I change the country? Preferably without using a credit cardI've only been here in the US 2 months and still have no US credit card.

Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

I don't remember my old Apple ID and I closed my email account that I was using for my old Apple ID. Now, how can I change my icloud id on my Ipad. The old icloud id is still on my Ipad.

ChrisJ4203,
Thank you for the help. Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID. I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone. In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one. My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID. Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

How can I change my e-mail on icloud to match my Apple id?

I have recently changed my phone and got a new Apple ID, unfortunately it keeps popping up to enter the password on i cloud for my old Apple id which I cant remeber..... how can i change it so its the same??

This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I have been having a issue with getting the colors on my monitor to match the colors fro my print lab. I now have the monitor calibrated to match the prints but when I open elements it doesn't use the same colors. If i have it use the calibrated profile by changing the color management settings, the color picker no longer shows true white or black. How do I get elements 12 to honor the new calibrated settings?

Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
It says ;
Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
Continuing...
And stops ...
Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

I plugged my phone into my friends MacBook over the summer and now that I try to download an app his apple Id shows up and asks for his password. How do I change this?

Go to settings >> iTunes and app stores. Tap on the appleid and change it yours. If you had downloaded any apps using your friend's id then you will need his/her password to update those apps. But you should be able to download any new apps using your id once you've have the change in settings.

How can i change my security questions if i dont remember the questions that i have?

How can i change my security questions if i dont remember the questions that i have?

Go to id.apple.com. Click manage your account. Sign in. On the left click on "Passwords and Security." At the bottom of your security questions there is a link to "Reset security questions by sending an email to your rescue email".
If you didn't setup a rescue email then you need to call Applecare.
