HT5622 On my Ipad how can I change the apple/iCloud id to my husbands id but keep the iTunes id as mine

I Am trying to 'give' my iPad to my husband, when I try to change my iCloud id to his by entering his email it tells me this is already in use (he has an Apple  id for his iPhone). Another message I had was to use the new email address (his) with the old password (mine). I am confused - I did not have this problem when I gave him my iPhone 4s. (That was iOS 7 the iPad is now updated to iOS 8, if that makes a difference)
thank you

Hi Very Baffled,
Happy Holidays!  The article below outlines the recommended steps to take before giving your iPad to your husband.  The main point is to backup the iPhone, and then erase all content and settings.
That way, your husband will have a "new" device and when he sets it up with his own Apple ID ... all of his content will be added to the iPad.

If you still have your iOS device
Before you sell or give away your iOS device, make sure that you've removed all of your personal information. Follow these steps to protect your data and get your device to its factory default state for the new owner:
Back up your device.
Sign out of iCloud:
Tap Settings > iCloud, scroll down, and tap Sign Out. In iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account.
Tap Sign Out again, tap Delete from My iPhone, then enter your password. 
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
This will completely erase your device, including any credit or debit cards you added for Apple Pay and any photos, contacts, music, or apps. It will also turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services.
If you're using iOS 7 or later and have Find My iPhone turned on, your Apple ID and password will be required. After you provide your password, the device will be erased and removed from your account so that the next owner can activate it.
Your content won't be deleted from iCloud when you erase your device.
Contact your carrier for guidance on transferring service to the new owner. If you aren't using a SIM-card with your device, you can contact them to get help transferring service to the new owner.
When the new owner turns on the device for the first time, Setup Assistant will guide them through the setup process.
Important: Don't manually delete contacts, calendars, reminders, documents, photo streams, or any other iCloud data while signed in to your iCloud account, or the content will also be deleted from the iCloud servers and all of your devices that are signed in to iCloud.

  • I bought a used ipod nano and it is associated to another itunes account. How can I change the itunes account to mine so I can register it to my account?

    I bought a used ipod nano for my daughter and when I tried to register it, I got a message advising that it is registered to another iTunes account. How can I remove that association and associate it to our iTunes account?

    Restore it in iTunes on your computer.
    There is a difference between registering with Apple and using it with iTunes. To register it (which isn't necessary) you would have to get the previous owner to de-register it.

  • How can I change my apple store? Im living in Australia but my Apple store is in Brazil

    hi guys
    how can I change my apple store? Im living in Australia but my Apple store is in Brazil

    In order to use the Australian Store you will need either a bank card from an Aussie bank with a verifiable Aussie billing address or you will need to redeem an Aussie iTunes Gift card.
    Launch iTunes and go to the iTunes Store
    Click on “Account” and log in, under “Apple ID Summary” choose “Change Country or Region”
    Select the new country as desired

  • How can I change the iTunes account on a used computer

    I puchased a used laptop and need to change the itunes account.

    Go to the Store menu in iTunes and choose "Deauthorize this Computer".
    Then you'll have to go back to the same menu and choose "Authorize this Computer".
    Of course, this might delete any purchases made from this account and delete them from your iTunes library.

  • How can I change the itunes set up on my sons iphone.   It is the same itunes acct as my ipad  and computer.

    I have an apple id and itunes that I use with my ipad.   My son got an iphone and so he could download songs,and since I was the one that set up his phone to use, I used my itunes acct.    Problem is, when I synk the ipad to itunes, all his downloads load on the ipad and laptop.     I was thinking of getting an iphone.    But I don't want all his songs on my phone but since I have already paid for his music and other downloads, how to I move them or can I?  

    The iphone will only sync what you set it to sync.
    If you do not want his music, then simply do not select it to sync.

  • How can i change the iTunes music library file location

    Hi, I have installed the latest version of iTunes6.0.4, by default my music library files are storing in "c:\documents and ettings\administrator\myDocuments\myMusic\iTunes\iTunes Music". It's nothing but my H:\ drive and it will be shared by a group of pepole. I would like to move this location to "C:\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music".
    I tried by changing the location in the below specified way.
    iTunes preferences --> Advanced --> iTunes Music Folder Location --> Change.
    But still it's iTunes is storing the music libraries in"c:\documentsandettings\administrator\myDocuments\myMusic\iTunes\iTunes Music".
    Could you please let me know how can change this location permanantly from ""c:\documents and ettings\administrator\myDocuments\myMusic\iTunes\iTunes Music" to "C:\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music".
    Thanks,
    Chetan.

    The music library files are hard-wired to the My Documents folder. The only way to move the files is to move the My Documents folder, which affects the entire system.

  • How can you change the Itunes library? I updated it, and chose the wrong library, and now I can't change it helppppppp pleasee!!! D: ;(

    This *****! I updated my Itunes, and it asked me to choose a library, and I chose the wrong one, and now I can't change it. What am I supposed to do now?

    Firstly, I caution your approach to allow users to alter the orientation of the report. Crystal Reports doesn't adapt too well when the orientation is modified. You'll end up with fields dropped off on the right hand side of the report, or with a large gap on the right. Our engine doesn't do any auto adjusting of fields when you alter the orientation.
    In order to see the changes it is best to re-load the page and get a new viewer. You can choose to store the ParameterFields in a Session variable for re-use on the post back so your users aren't re-prompted for values.

  • HT6022 How can I change the ITunes store for purchases from Turkey to UK?

    Hi!
    I bought my macbook at Turkey but now I live in UK, when I want to purchase smt from Itunes store, it says I could only make purchases from Turkish store, is there a way I could change the store? There are stuff I want to buy but I can't because of my Apple ID and the purchase restriction
    Any help would be much appreciated

    Yes,  as Lanny says, accounts are specific to the country.   You would need to open a UK account to use the UK app store which would also mean you would need a UK residential address for billing purposes and a credit card supported by a UK bank.
    Remember, too.   Any apps purchased through your Turkish account can only be updated using the details from that account.  Apps are not transferable and Apple does not allow accounts to be merged.

  • How can i change my apple id and password, i have 2 ipads, when i upgrade the 2nd ipad for the new iOS 5, i apparently synch, including the apple ID of the first one, now I need to change ID on the 2nd?

    2 ipads were upgraded on itunes on the same laptop, apparently synch and picked up the apple ID and password on the 2nd ipad, how can I change the ID and password..thanks
    I created a new one but let say i go to apps store and install app, it will show dialog box with the 1st apple ID.

    If these are both yours on the same account then give them different names so iTunes can tell them apart.
    If the sync was an accident then do a "wipe" of the other iPad and set it up as new under a different ID and make sure iTunes knows it's a different accout, that is set it up as one, before you begin the sync.

  • How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the full screen?

    How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the whole screen, as opposed to just about one third; the other two thirds display the full text of the selected email?

    You can't change the display in the Mail app, if you are holding the iPad in landscape orientation then the left-hand third will be for navigation, and the right-hand two-thirds will be an email. If you hold the iPad in portrait orientation then the navigation section becomes a drop-down section.

  • How can I change the settings so when I delete an email from my iPhone it will also delete from my iPad.....very sick of deleting the same emails two times

    How can I change the settings wit mail so that when I delete my Verizon email from my iPhone it will also delete from my iPad too.... Seems like I shouldn't have to delete my email in three places...iPhone ..iPad ...and desktop

    Don't know which email host you are using, but if this is a POP account, you can't do it. If IMAP, then deleting one email should delete it on all other devices.

  • I use the company's iPad at work that has a different apple id for iCloud than my own personal iPad  at home. How can I change the company's iCloud id to synchronize with my own one?

    I use an iPad 2 at work that has a different apple id for iCloud than my own personal new iPad. How can I change the company's id for iCloud to synchronize with my own personal iPad?

    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID listed and sign out and sign in with other ID
    You also may want to go to other places like:
    - Settings>iCloud
    - Settinge>FaceTime
    - Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and change the ID
    It may be best to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings and start over again and set up the iPod again with his account/ID

  • My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones.  she now has an ipad with a her own apple id.  How can we change the apple id on her phoneand not loose any contacts or songs?

    My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones (2 phones both are 5s) .  She now has an ipad with a her own apple id.  How can we change the apple id on her phone so that is the same as the ipad and not loose any contacts or songs?

    Did you take a look at the new feature Apple - iOS 8 - Family Sharing ?
    Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
    Up to now, songs bought from iTunes could only be played by the Apple ID that has been used to buy them.
    If you set up Family Sharing, your daughter can also play your songs and use the same contact info as before.
    If you don't want to do that, sync the contact info to the address book on your computer, and sync the info back, using iTunes:
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
    If the iPad already has her Apple ID and contact info on it, restore the phone from the latest iPad backup.
