HT204053 I rfor ntly changed my email address and apple id- when accessing app store from my iphone the old id (email address) still apears on the log in screen - cant change and access app store
I recently changed my email address and also my apple id to match- this is all working OK and I can access store ,apple account etc - however when I get notifications on my i phone to update apps via app store the log in screen still show my old apple id -email address which is no longer valid. when I enter my password I am denied access - there is no comand on my i phone to change the log in id for the app store ( there is for changing password or forgotten password only) does anyone have the solution for me please - many thanks, fijijohn

That's because apps are forever tied permanently to the Apple ID that bought them, even if they were free. That is the only ID that can ever update them.
Unfortunately you went about this the wrong way. Rather than making a new Apple ID with the new email address, you should have just changed the name and email address associated with the old ID. Now you are kind of screwed because it's too late to use the new email on the old ID since you used it to create a new Apple ID. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another and Apple doesn't merge IDs.
You can try to resurrect the old Apple ID with a new email address and maintain two Apple IDs, or decide which ID and it's content you wish to abandon.

When my IMac awakes from sleep mode, the password login screen freezes and no cursor appears.
Hello! When my IMac awakens from sleep mode, my log in screen is frozen (I can't type anything) and there is no cursor.
I can turn the computer off and on again and then I have an active log in screen, but if I walk away from the computer and it goes into sleep mode and i have the same problem trying to bring it back from sleep mode.
Thoughts?Hey Kristogirl,
I understand that when waking from sleep mode, your iMac freezes. Try executing these two troubleshooting steps:

If neither of those help the issue, I would follow the steps in the next article, specifically the "If the issue occurs in various applications, or in Mac OS X" section:

How do I change the Apple ID that is stored on my MacBook Air. I have changed my Apple ID on the Apple ID website but both my MacBook Air and my iMac show the old Apple ID when accessing iCloud.
I had this problem on my iMac and fixed it after a half hour of frustrated trying. I had changed my Apple ID on my iPad mini while traveling. When I finally got back home after a few months, I couldn't log in to iTunes on my iMac. The old Apple ID was still being used on my iMac. I tried just highlighting it and deleting it and typing in my new Apple ID. No dice. The login just defaulted to my old Apple ID. I tried clicking on the drop down menu that appears when you right right click your Apple ID that appears at the top of the page after highlighting the 'iTunes Store" in the left side list. I saw "account" so I clicked on that. The "account" settings on my iMac showed my new Apple ID but my iMac wouldn't use it. It just kept defaulting to my old ID. I shut down. I logged back in. Same result. Finally I right clicked the same drop down menu and saw "sign out" at the bottom of the list. Even though I was not signed in to iTunes, I clicked "sign out". My next log in to iTunes showed my Apple ID as blank and I was able to type in my new ID. Hope this helps.
I am a long time 20 year Microsoft user. I am somewhat ( 1 year) new to Apple. With Microsoft, I found that fixing problems was clunky and complex, but there was always a post somewhere that explained the fix. Microsoft's explanations stated even the most obvious fact. Even if everyone knew that the sky was blue, Microsoft's instructions would still tell you that the sky was blue. With Apple, I find that the obvious is sometimes not so obvious. But the fix is almost always easy once you find it, without many of the elaborate maneuvers needed in Windows. -
When I send photos from my Iphone to an email address they never arrive. Any thoughts?
When I send photos from my iphone to an email, the email seems to send, but the email never arrives at it's destination. Can someone help me fix this?
Thanks.Has you email ever worked. Are you receiving an error when you send the mail, or is it just sitting in your outbox? Is it just a single individual that is not receiving your mail? Have you tested sendng mail to another individual whos email address you know is valid?

I am being asked for an old Appled ID when launching Apps following the latest software update.
AAfter the latest software update on my iPad, I'm being asked to sign in to an old Apple ID when launch Apps. How do I fix this without deleting and downloading the Apps again? I have had Apple ID problems with this software version.
IF you still have the email address that you used for th old ID, you should continue to use that ID. Purchases are always tied to the ID that was used to make the purchase. Any problems that you are experincing with the iOS should have no bearing on your Apple ID and the ID doesn't have any effect on what is going on with the iOS.
If you can be more specific as to what the problem is, maybe someone can help. -
How can I get my iPhone 6 to stop prompting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I have verified in settings that my acct is listed in itunes & App Store, as well as icloud. i can download new apps fine. Have shut down phone and re-powered, have tried plugging into my iMac while signed into my iTunes acct. Can't figure out what to do next?
Is the comp a synced device to your apple ID and approved as an active device for this synchronization?
Just cloud the sync once, activate the comp to your apple I'd in iTunes, ensure all software is up to date, turn on home sharing between the devices and you can reinstall the apps from the apple id purchase history via download.
You basically cleaned out the canonical data apple uses to validate all that, which was backup data. Like iOS devices have the purchased option on the App Store now, syncing the devices via the home sharing and properly activating them will give your comp the purchased cloud and free up 10gs of space on the precious solid states smaller drives.
Hope that helps...
If you need to know the menu to find this info, let me know. But the info is easily accessible in the help menu. -
I have enlarged icons on the log in screen and can not enter my login code. I have tried enough times that I am locked out and my iphone 5 has been disabled.How do I fix this??
Hey there byambar,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re describing two issues, the first issue is related to the Zoom accessibility feature and the second issue is related to the device being disabled.
Take a look at the article linked below to learn more about Zoom and the other accessibility features on your iPhone 5.

I have a new mac book pro (sept 2014) and am suddenly stuck on the log-in screen. Keyboard input is not working to enter my password. Seems to be a log in issue as keyboard works for forced troubleshooting. (And b/c when I first noticed the problem, I was able to enter my log in password but then everything sort of froze. Now, no ability to enter the password.) Already tried a basic restart and a cmmnd/ cntrl/ pwr troubleshoot to no effect.

My phone stuck on the log in screen and the only thing apears the apple logo why is that happening?
my phone stuck on the log in screen and the only thing apears the apple logo why is that happening?
First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the Steps in this article to force the device into Recovery Mode.

Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer

Help! Just did the Update (ML 10.8.4) after receiving a new HD since mine crashed last week and the shop didn't update it back to Mavricks which I had previously done...and now my Mac won't let me past the log in screen even with correct password entered. It just spins like I'm logging in and then goes back to the user log in screen. I did the process where I restarted and pressed control S and created a new user and password, but once created same issue and can't get passed that screen.
Super frustrated and any help is appreciated!I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan. -
I was trying to update my ipad operating system and I thought it was done. When I disconnected it from my computer the ipad went blank then the apple logo appeared midscreen with an elongated oval across the screen under it. Now nothing on the ipad works. I think it was backed up on my computer but I can't find anything that will allow me to sync the two or regain functionality on my ipad. Any suggestions?
Hi,
I would put the ipad in recovery mode and redo the update, once that is done you could restore the ipad from your backup and you would not lose any data.
