HT5624 How do I update my Apple ID on iPad and iPhone after changing it?

How do I update my Apple ID email address on iPhone and iPad after changing the email but not password.  I have verified my new email on iPhone iPad and iMac but settings on all for iCloud still show my old email address. I can't use anything now that needs my Apple ID

Hello there, Chivs86.
From what it sounds like you are wanting to sign out of iCloud with the "old" ID and sign in with the new. The following Knowledge Base article should help you with that issue:
iCloud: Features that work with one account at a time on iOS 5 and OS X Lion or later
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4020
Specifically:
To change a secondary account to a primary account
iOS 5 or later:
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Delete the secondary account.
Tap the Back button.
Tap iCloud.
Delete the primary account.
Add the secondary account that you want to be your primary account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

  • How do I update my apple ID on iPad and iPhone after changing it?

    Changed my email address which changed my Apple ID on this site but my iPhone and iPad are still showing my old ID. Can't seem to get it to update. Have tried turning it off and on. Won't let me change it. How can I get them to update to new apple ID? I'm not able to complete any updates for apps. As user ID is pre-populated and just gives me the option to input my password.

    Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID. Tap the old ID and sign out, sign in with the new one.

  • How do you use one apple id for iPad and iphone

    We have an iPad, four iphone 3gs and a new iphone4.  We use one apple Id for each with iCloud.  Do we need a new apple Id for the 4gs?  Also how do we share the iPad between the iPhones for music & apps.   Thanks.

    how to prolong the bluetooth timeout session on ipad and iphone?
    I understannd that the standard timeout setting is 3 mins. what if I want to prolong the connection duration, how should I do?
    thanks

    To my knowledge, there is no "time out" on a device.  A mouse, KB, etc will go into a low power mode after a short period of non-use.

  • Unable to update my  iOS on my iPad and iPhone.

    I am unable to update my iOS on my iPad and iPhone. Though I have had these devices and have been updating for over a year, the issue just started with this new release (iOS 5.1).
    When I connect my Pad and Phone to iTunes (Windows PC with Vista), I am told that an update is available. When I update, iTunes tries to connect to a server. Then I receive the message, "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. The network connection could nopt be established."
    When I try to update the devices iOS using WiFi directly (not connected to iTunes). The devices say, "Checking for Update..." and does not connect. It says, "Unable to check for update...An error occurred while checking for a software update...Cancel or Try Again"

    I solved this by downlading the iOS update via wi-fi at another location other than my home. I would still like to know why this download did not work at my home as it has for over a year. I have made no changes in my firewall or security settings.

    You cannot merge two separate libraries across user accounts. Photos does not have the function of merging different Photos.library files. If you have Aperture then you can merge the two before migrating over to Photos.

    How can I synchronize the app between my iPad and iPhone?

    Hi,
    May i know which app in particular you are taking about.
    If that is Adobe Reader you need to sign-in in Adobe Id and password and that should be it.

  • How can i update my contacts on the ipad and have it go to my iphone. I tried backing up on icloud but this doesn't work. yes i had them plugged in when i backed it up

    I want to update my contacts on my IPad and transfer it to my IPhone4. I tried backing up to ICloud (plugged in) but it didn't work.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Brilliant! That worked like a charm.
    I created a new User Account on one of my Macs and logged into it. I connected my iPhone to its iTunes and checked my iPhone's Sync Contacts option in iTunes. Since that account's address book was basically empty (two dummy contacts, one for Apple and one for this new user), I ended up with only those two Contacts on the phone. Then, going back to my real User account (which does not have syncing turned on in iTunes) the phone synced nicely with the MobileMe account and populated the phone with all the MobileMe contacts and groups.

  • How do I take screen shots with the new update iOS 5 on my iPad and iPhone?

    When I try to take screen shots on both my iPad and iPhone they both come up with the screen to shut down the devices. I've updated both with iOS 5. Any clues on how to take a screen shot with iOS 5?

    As with the previous iOS versions.
    Press and hold the Home button and use the on/off or sleep/wake button as a camera shutter button for the screen shot.
    Or while pressing and holding the on/off or sleep/wake button before the slide to power of appears, use the Home button as a camera shutter button - this must be done before the slide to power off appears.

    How do you not share contacts when having an iPad and iPhone when you share an apple ID

    Presumably you mean you are sharing the same iCloud account? Except for turning off contacts on one of the devices, you can't stop sharing contacts. iCloud accounts are not designed to be shared among different people with different personal data.
    You should each gave your own personal iCloud account, setup under your own individual AppleID.
    You can still use the shared AppleID for the iTunes and AppStore purchases you already have though.

  • Apple TV2 Just Disappeared from Remote app on iPad and iPhone after latest Remote app update

    I Have used Remote app on my iPad and iPhones to control my ATV1, ATV2, and ATV3 for years. After the latest Remote app update ATV2 has disappeared from tRemote, and I can no longer find a way to connect it. Any advice about this?

    Brilliant. Restarting did the job, and all is well. Since I have recommended this to others with other ATV problems, I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't try it myself at the outset, and would probably have come around to trying it later, but you saved me some time. Thanks.

  • How can I get back to syncing my Ipad, and Iphone 4 the old fashion way

    I have installed upgraded itunes, upgraded my Iphone operation system to 5.1,  and installed Icloud.  This is where the problems all began.
    Icloud and I have everything (contacts, calendar  events, photos) so messed up, it would take a Apple Surgeon to fix it all.  Is there a way to start over and go back to syncing my ipad, and iphone with itunes....it was sooooo easy and all units were the same.
    If I connect today, USB to computer and itunes, it will sync however add duplicates everywhere?  I just wanna go home !  Removing Icloud from all three devices, Computer, Ipad 2, and Iphone 4

    Pictures are not stored in iTunes.
    Any pictures taken with the device, like with any other digital camera, are designd to be copied off the device to the computer on a regular basis.  Via iTunes, pictures that the user chooses to have on the device can be synced back.
    As Ralph stated, updating iTunes will not affect the media in the library.  That being said, it has always been very basic to maintain a backup of important files.  If you do not currently have a backup of your important files, I would strongly encourage you to make one.
