my phone displays my old ID. How can I get it to display my new ID?

For those previous purchases, you can never change it.  App and iTunes store purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID used when you first made the purchase - there is no way to change that.
If you went to https://appleid.apple.com and changed the primary email address you used for your AppleID, then the account itself was not changed, just the credentials.  If that is what you did, you need to log out of the store and log back in with the new email address you are using as your AppleID.

  • HT1364 I recently got a new laptop but I can't retrieve my iTunes folder from my old pc, how do I get my library on my new laptop as I don't want to set up a new one.

    I recently had to buy a new laptop as my pc no longer worked.  I can't get my iTunes media folder off my old pc so how do I get my library onto my new laptop as I don't want to create a new library and erase everything off my iPhone.

    There is no such thing as a "sub-account."  Also, you probably mean iTunes library, when you say "account."  Your "account" in iTunes is your Apple ID, which is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store to make purchases.  iPods are associated with an iTunes library, not with an Apple ID (iTunes Store account).  You'll need to clarify...
    So, this is what I think you are saying.  You previously shared an iTunes library on a computer with your friend.  Your old iPod was synced to that iTunes library. 
    You got an iPhone, and at that time, you set up your own iTunes library.  Is that on a different computer?  How does the iPhone affect your question about the iPod?
    You got a new iPod.  What is your "old iTunes"?  Is that the iTunes library you shared with your friend?

  • My iPhone is synced to an old computer, how do I get it synced with my new one and not lose all the music?

    I recently had to rebuild my hard drive. When I try to sync my iPhone, the iTunes app won't recognize the phone and gives me the option of erasing the content on the phone and syncing to the library that it currently has. I don't want to lose the content on the phone but I do want to add content from the current library. Any suggestions? Or am I screwed?

    Two options available to you.
    Option 1:  If the computer your previous sync is available then you can do itunes home sharing.  Transfer the files and then sync to the new computer.  Setting up home sharing http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620
    Option 2:  If the computer you were previously syncing with isn't available AND you purchased the music via itunes you can transfer the purchases.  Transfering purchases http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2554

  • HT4859 My cloud is showing over 4gb of backed up data for a phone I no longer have. How do I get to my new phone?

    My iCloud shows 4gb of data backed up for a phone I no longer have. How do I get this data to the new phone or at least see what it consists of so I can delete some of it

    You can see what's contained in the backup except by looking on the phone (which you no longer have); even then, it only shows you broad categories like "Camera Roll" and your apps list.
    The way you get this data on your new phone is to restore the phone to the backup.  When you do this, it overwrites your data and settings with those contained in the backup.  If you have newer data on your phone now (such as recent photos), you'll have to save these first.  Then you go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase the phone.  You will then go back through the setup screens as you did when it was new, and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this might take a while to finish.

  • I changed my Appleid online yesterday because the old one was based on an email address that is no longer active. My phone still shows the old Appleid and will not let me access APP store etc. How can I get the phone to accept the new ID?

    I channged my Appleid at appleid.com and now the phone stills shows my old id and will not let apps that require id/password prompts work.

    Just scroll to the bottom of the screen in the store, log out and then login with the new ID.
    As long as you changed it from the manage account option at https://appleid.apple.com/ (ie. replaced the primary email address with a new one), then all your old purchases should be fine.

  • I have tried downloading ios7 but my phone keeps showing the usb sign and i tunes sign

    That is almost always because the phone was hacked to unlock it from the original carrier.

  • My phone keeps showing the hot temperature message every 1o minutes. What should i do?

    y phone keeps showing the hot temperature message every 1o minutes. What should i do?

    does the phone feel hot? Are you using ANY kind of phone case ?
    If NO to the above and you think it might just be a weird error, you can try resetting the device by pressing the top power button and the home button at the same time until you see an apple appear then let go. your phone will restart.
    If it keeps giving you the same error after that, call Applecare.

  • HT201269 hi i need help, i just go a new iPhone 5 and i want to put all my backed up stuff on, but it doesn't show on the list, how do i get all my stuff back and yes i did backup the old phone

    hi i need help, i just go a new iPhone 5 and i want to put all my backed up stuff on, but it doesn't show on the list, how do i get all my stuff back and yes i did backup the old phone

    Follow the explicit instructions in the article from which the thread was started and restore the device from the backup of the previous device.

  • I did a backup from my 3G and want to get the backup now on my iPhone 4, but the backup from the old 3G is not shown as an option to configurate. How do I get the information on my new phone?

    I did a backup from my 3G and want to get the backup now on my iPhone 4, but the backup from the old 3G is not shown as an option to configurate. How do I get the information on my new phone?

    First, back up your old iphone manually:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your old phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

    How to back up and restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    How to download apps for free again:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    After that, connect your new phone and let iTunes set it up. iTunes will detect the old 3G backup and ask you, if you want to use it to restore the info on your new iphone. If you agree, all settings and data will be present after the process is finished.
    This is also explained in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137

  • Upgraded from Iphone 4 to 4s.  old phone backed up to iCloud.  How do I restore that data to my new iphone?

    I just upgraded from the iPhone 4 to 4s.  I had backed up the old phone backed up to iCloud.  How do I restore that data to my new iphone?  Even though I had photostream on, it never synched.  I installed iCloud for the pc and can see the backup up in the cloud.  I just want to get all the data to the new phone. 

    When you go through the new phone setup, it should ask if you want to setup as new or restore from iCloud. If you have already setup as new, you will have to reset the 4S to factory settings, and go through setup again.

  • I just moved and my iPad location is still showing my old location how do I change that?

    I just moved and my iPad location is still showing my old location how do I change that?

    That's the problem.  A WiFi-only iPad uses a database of router locations to determine location.  Unfortunately, the mechanics behind this database are a tightly-held secret.  Your location may change to the correct one within a week or two or it may take as long as a year!  (I'm not kidding.)  Incidentally, it will help if you're within range of other routers.  Doesn't matter if you pass data through them and also doesn't matter if they're locked.  The only requirement is "within range."
    By the way, you will find that, if you take your iPad away from your house, it will report your location more accurately.

  • My phone keeps restarting every 5 minutes. how do i make it stop

    my phone keeps restarting every 5 minutes. how do i make it stop

    Try to sync you phone with iTunes to create a new backup before it restarts.  Also try to import your photos (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts if you can (sync them to iCloud in Settings>iCloud>Contacts>On or use an app like My Contact Backup).  When done, force you phone into recovery mode and restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
