HT2204 I can't seem to change my apple ID for iTunes and apps on ios6. Means nothing is downloading, how do I do it?

I've downloaded IOS 6 but I have ended up with the wrong apple ID on the apps store and iTunes, I can't seem to change it.  Can someone tell me how?

I solved my own problem after reading a number of discussion threads, reset the iPad with the power off button (if that's what you call it), when I switched back on it had an error message on the updates but let me then change the account back to mine. 
Mind you still not impressed with a few things on ios6 - mainly the shocking maps that miss most country towns or have the tags in the wrong places.  Can we have Google back please Apple?

  • HT204074 I have a family Apple ID for iTunes and Apps and then two iPhone 5s each which use a personal Apple ID for email and the family Apple ID for iTunes and Apps. Can I use iTunes Match?

    I have a family Apple ID associated with my iMac and iPad for iTunes and Apps and then two new iPhone 5s each which use a personal Apple ID for email and the family Apple ID for iTunes and Apps. Can I use iTunes Match on the iPhones given there are two Apple IDs "loaded" on the iPhone?

    You need to go to System Preferences (this may be called Settings in Mountain LIon)>iCloud and sign out. Then sign in with the new ID.

  • HT5622 If I change My Apple ID for iTunes and the AppStore, will every app and all my music be deleted?

    I keep downloading useless apps, so I made my own Apple ID.

    Nothing would be deleted, but if you have enabled Automatic Downloads in Settings>iTunes & App Store, or have downloaded any previous purchases with your existing ID, you will not be able to do this with a new ID for 90 days from the time you originally enabled Automatic Downloads or downloaded a previous purchase.  You can purchase new media, you just can't redownload it until this time has elapsed.  There's more details on this restriction here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627.
    Also, purchases are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them.  Even if you stop using the ID for new purchasing, you will still be prompted for the password for this ID when updating apps purchased with this ID.

  • Hi, I can't seem to change my desktop screensaver for my MacBook Pro.

    Hi, I can't seem to change my desktop screensaver for my MacBook Pro. When I open my system preferences and click the screensaver option the cursor loads and loads but never lets me actually click anything. Nor do my pictures upload to let me chose. It's been doing this for months and it is irritating. Is there a specfic reason why the cursor won't load at all? Any way I can fix that?

    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A folder should open. If it does, look for a file with a long name that begins "com.apple.screensaver". There may be two such files. Select the onewithout the word "slideshow" in the name and open the Info dialog (command-I).
    Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
    In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
    What is the Modified date?

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

  • I changed my Apple ID on iTunes and on the iPhone 4. When I try to "Update All" the old Apple ID (I no longer have access to the email address) shows up. How do I update those apps?

    I changed my Apple ID on iTunes and on the iPhone 4. When I try to "Update All" the old Apple ID shows up (I no longer have access to that email address). How do I update those apps?

    Apps are DRM protected and tied to the account used to originally obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another iTunes account nor updated using another iTunes account. Only the account used to obtain them can be used to update them. You can contact iTunes support, explain the situation & ask that they add these apps to the download queue of your new account:

  • HT1311 Changed my apple ID for iTunes, but did not work for app updates.

    I followed the directions on my phone and successfully changed my apple ID for iTunes. But when I to update apps, the old ID still shows. How can I change my Apple ID so I can update my existing apps?

    Correct! The apps I had previously were downloaded using my husband's apple ID. We are now separated, and I would like to download updates under my OWN apple ID. I followed the instructions for changing my AppleID on my phone, and it works with iTunes downloads. Yet the old AppleID continues to show up for App updates/downloads. Can I change the apple ID for App updates? Or must I delete all the apps on my phone that were downloaded under HIS apple ID and then redownload them under my own ID?

  • Where can I find the purchases that were made from itunes and apps?

    Where can I find the purchases that were made from itunes and apps?

    You can view the full purchase history on your account via your computer's iTunes : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
    On an iOS device you can only view the last 90 days purchases (and optionally contact iTunes Support if you have a problem with one of them) via http://reportaproblem.apple.com

  • I changed to a new iphone 5, but it keeps coming up with my old Apple ID FOR iCloud sign in. My Apple ID is correct for iTunes and App Store and on my ipad. The user names stays greed out on the iCloud sign in and I can't change it.

    I recently changed from my old Iphone 5 to a new one. The Apple ID that comes up when signing into iCloud is my old Apple ID, yet the correct one is shown on iTunes and apps. I can't change the Apple ID to the correct one, and am unable to restore my latest back up from icloud. I have tried everything, but I can' t change the Apple ID on the phone. It stays greed out. My Apple ID is correct on my ipad and when I log into my iCloud account via the internet. How do can I fix this?

    Skip the iCloud sign in for now.
    Once you reach the home page, go to settings and sign out of FaceTime and Messages.  This should also sign you out of iCloud.
    Go to iCloud in settings and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
    If that does not work
    Skip the iCloud sign in
    Go to Apple ID.apple.com and sign in
    Change your Apple ID to the old one
    Delete iCloud account on your device with the old Apple ID and the same password.
    Go back to the website, change your Apple ID back to the current one. You will receive an email to verify the account. Verify first.
    Sign into iCloud on your device with the correct Apple ID and password

  • My new iPad3 is set to English language but iTunes and app store are in a foreign language. how do I change this?

    My iPad3 is working great but iTunes and app store are in foreign language that I can't understand.  Need help changing these programs to english.  Other programs are in english and settings is set up for english.  thanks,  Jim

    As far as I know the language of the two stores on the iPad (iTunes and the App Store) can't be changed - they should be in the language of the country where your account is based (if they aren't correct then try logging out of your account by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in).

  • How can you use the same Apple ID for music and apps but have a different iCloud

    Collectively in my family we have 1 iPhone 2 ipod(4th gen) and 3 iPad mini's and we like to buy music and apps through the same Apple ID so that we can all share it but we also have a problem about the iCloud.
    My son has one iPod and one iPad and he would like his contacts and messages to be shared between HIS two devices but he would also like all of the pictures taken in the family to be shared
    The same for my daughter and for me.
    Is there a way of selecting which devices share what????
    Thanks a lot
    Acwills

    You could and should set up different iCloud accounts in "Settings > iCloud", so that every user has its own email account, calendars, reminders, notes, storage for backups and app data (files etc.), by the way everyone could also use his own account for iMessage (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive) and FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) so that you all could write and call each other.
    Next the Apple ID for music, apps and other media: You all could just set up the ssame Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" for all your media purchases like songs, movies, apps etc.

  • How to change my Apple ID for iTunes & Support Communities

    I currently have my personal domain email address as my Apple ID for iTunes, Apple Support Communities, and for iCloud (though I haven't setup a .me email address yet in iCloud).  I want to stop using my personal domain email address and create a .me address in iCloud that will be my only email address.  The problem is that I need to have a valid email address as my Apple ID in iTunes and I won't have it any longer once I switch email addresses to the new .me address I will create.
    Before I do something wrong here, does anyone know how I can create a new .me address in iCloud, and then use that email address as my iTunes, Support Communities, and iCloud Apple ID?

    Disregard my question...found out I don't need to do this.  Evidently I can't delete the post, even though there are no replies.

  • How can I help apple make a itunes and app store in my country?

    The lack of an iTunes store and AppStore in my country(Macedonia) is frustrating, as would many other users agree. My question is not why, but how can I help apple achieve this? How can I help create both the iTunes and App store? I believe that many developers in Macedonia are more than willing to become iOS Developers, and there is a lot of music, books and movies to go around too. Please reply with an answer if and how I can help.
    Thank you in Advance

    Launch iTunes.
    Select iTunes Store in the source list on the left.
    Go to the bottom of the window and click the round flag icon.
    Europe > Macedonia
    Same for the Mac App Store.
