HT4557 Apple TV shows other person's email, how do I change it?

Apple tv says, "To access your iTunes library on Apple TV, turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer using "****".....that is not MY email address, should mine be there where that other person's is? And if so, how do I change it?

Hey Monika1949!
Here is an article that will help you understand how to use Home Sharing on your Apple TV:
Setting up Home Sharing for Apple TV (2nd generation and 3rd generation)

You will need to sign in to the iTunes store on your Apple TV as well. Here is an article that explains where to do that:
How to rent a movie from the iTunes Store on Apple TV
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1498
Sign in to the iTunes Store
From the main Apple TV menu, choose Settings > iTunes Store.
If your location and iTunes account already appear here, skip to the next section.
Select Location.
Scroll to highlight your location and select it.
Press the Menu button on the remote once to return to the previous screen.
Select Sign in.
Enter your Apple ID and password. If you don't have an Apple ID, create one using iTunes on your computer. (The password is case-sensitive.) Note: If your Apple ID is an AOL account, you'll need to convert it to work with Apple TV. If you need help converting your AOL account, please contact iTunes Store Customer Service.
Apple TV will give you the option to remember your password. Select Yes if you want to save the password.
Press and hold the Menu button to return to the main Apple TV menu.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
Regards,
Braden

I have 2 IPads one for me and the other for my daughter. However, my Ipad was stolen during a bulgary and I reported it lost thru apple. However, now my daugher is unable to use her Ipad because the apple ap show it is lost. How can I change this?

My home was recently burgarlized and one of my Ipads were stolen.(Thank God my daughter had hers at school). However, I went online to report my Ipad lost thru apple but now My daughter is unable to Log into the apple account and/or use her Ipad due to being lost. How can I correct this so she can use her Ipad?
Thank you

If you had a passcode set on your iPad your data should be safe. The thief would have to force it into recovery mode and restore it in order to use it, which would completely erase it.
This shouldn't keep your daughter's device from accessing the iCloud account however. If you can no longer sign into the account on iCloud.com from your computer, contact Apple support for assistance.

- If you are talking about your Apple ID/iTunes account email address then go to Settings>Store and sign out and sign back in with yours.
- If you mean in the Mail app, go to Settings>Mail and delete her account and add your account.

I have been sharing an apple ID and icloud with other family members. How do I change my iphone so as to create my own account?

I have been sharing I-cloud with other family members. How do I change my i-cloud setting on my i-phone so as to creare my own account?

If you want to keep your iCloud data, you would need to migrate your device and a copy of the data to a new account. To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; others keeping the account will not be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on your own account, you can go to icloud.com and manually delete any data you don't want in your account without effecting anyone else.

My iPhone has the correct Apple ID for everything BUT iCloud. How do I change that. Going through Settings shows the incorrect ID but it does not allow change.

Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and tap the Apple ID, select logout. Then login with your new ID
Note:

When deleting emails, how do I change from "archive" to "delete"? Thank you!

I assume that it's a gmail account ? If you select the account on the right-hand side of Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, then on the popup tap on Account and then Advanced you should be set whether emails are deleted or archived : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4207

My Apple Store lists prices in $ and not £ how can I change this?

My Apple Store lists prices in $ and not £ - how can I change this back to £?

Are you referring to the AppStore application, or to the Apple Store web-site? If the former, like Carolyn says; if the latter, then you need to go to http://www.apple.com/uk/
However, if the former then you haven't set up your computer for the UK, go into System Preferences and configure your region.
