HT5622 How to convince my devices to recognize my apple ID?

Every once in a while this happens, but just popped up again with my new iPad.
I enter in my apple ID and password - on one device it works fine, but on the next it keeps giving me an error. Yes, I am sure I have entered everything right. Then of course it locks me out and forces me to create another password. *great*. I have done this twice now tonight, and it STILL doesn't accept it on my iPad. Ready to throw the stupid thing out the window. Anyone have any thoughts before I do? It's getting old. Oh, and yes, I have done the secondary verification, etc. Thank you:-)

How do you get rid of an old Apple ID that hasn't been used in a while in which you no longer remember the password and the email account it's tied to no longer exists?

The password will not be sent to you, because Apple does not know it. They will send a link where you can reset the password. It will be sent to your Rescue email address, not the iCloud email address. If you don't have one contact Apple Account Security and they can reset it for you: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

I lost my ipod, how do you disconnect it from your apple account?

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

How Do You Unlock Your Ipod Touch Using Your Apple Id?

You do not. You do this:
Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How do I get iTunes to recognize my Apple ID so I can download music and aps

I Created a Apple ID and have been trying to get on iTunes but it's tellin me my Apple ID has not yet been used in iTunes... How do I fix that and how do i get the "none" option to showup under payment......

Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
You could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you review your account without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
If not then you will either need to enter credit card details (you should be able to remove them after entering them), or create a new account (and this time use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it).

HT5622 how can I set a computer into my apple ID from someone else's Apple ID?

Hi there,
My father passed away a few months ago and I have inherited his iMac. How can I set his iMac now to my Apple ID instead of his? I am currently still under his Apple ID yet he no longer has e-mail, etc... and I would like to see my things instead.

The first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.

HT5622 How do I get rid of my old Apple ID? I don't have access to that email.

I recently changed my password and my password isn't working. Also, I still have my old Apple ID when i'm trying to enter my password and it won't let me change it to my new one. I changed it because I no longer have access to so I would appreciate it if someone can help me with this problem.
<E-mail Edited by Host>

Once an Apple ID is created it can never be removed. Just don't use it anymore. But all items purchased under that ID will always stay with it and you would need to re-purchase those items under your new Apple ID.
There was an article on one of the Mac Mag websites about just this problem with the Apple ID.
Also if you create an Apple ID using one of the Apple email addresses, @me, @mac, @icloud, you can never change the primary email address that ID is associated with.
What you should of done is changed the primary email address associated with that Apple ID instead of creating a new ID.
Apple needs to fix this but they are slow to even acknowledge there is a problem with their Apple ID system.

How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old info

How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old phone. The new phone is my husbands and I don't want to back up my phone info on it. I re connected it hoping it would prompt me with the option again and it doesn't , it just shows up as a back up to my phone. How can I get it to give me that option in the beginning again

First of all, I think the first time you sync an iPod that's formatted for Windows on a Mac, the sync process reformats it for Mac. You can check what it is now by looking for the iPod with Disk Utility. If it's Mac OS Extended, it's formatted for Mac already.
Also, there is no current iPod updater app these days. iTunes handles it through the Restore button. If you are not able to use the latest iTunes because of your Mac, I can understand. The latest version of iTunes should run with 10.3.9 or later, if the hardware can handle it.
You said the battery was low so let it recharge for a while.
You should also reset the iPod. It's part of the 5Rs, which you should go through as the starting point for iPod trouble-shooting.
