HT5625 My iPhone has a different Apple ID than my iTunes and iCloud accounts.

Why is this?  I change my password on iTunes and through the App Store using my secret questions.  However, the password is not accepted.  What am I doing wrong?

If your iPhone has a different Apple ID, sign out of that one and sign onto the right one.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • My iphone has a different apple id than my computer - how can I connect the two?

    I have an apple id on my computer, and I have iCloud - but my iPhone has a different apple id - is there anyway that I can change my iphone apple id so it is the same as my computer?  I can't do the iTunes match because it says I am not subscribed, but according to my computer, I am subscribed!!
    Any suggestions?

  • My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If I try to add the email address that I now use (and which is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it.

    My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If (while on the iPad) I go to My Apple ID and try to change or add the email address that I now use (and which already is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it. It says : "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID"  I haven't really been aware of this as a problem until I tried (for the first time) to sync my iPad to the computer and became aware that certain things wouldn't transfer. What is the solution to this?

    What are you having problems with ?
    This post was about having updated the primary email address on an iTunes account via a computer - if you do that you might need to log out of the account on an iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version of the account for that email address change to be recognised on your iPad. If you don't log out and back in then an iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch) might continue to show the old version of the iTunes account id.

  • We have multiple devices in our family.  On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes.  When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name??

    We have multiple devices in our family.  On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes.  When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name and not theirs as the commenter.  How do I fix that?

    CREATE A NEW USER
    Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups
    Decide on whether to setup as Admin or Standard User.
    Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar or use Fast User Switching
    Fast User Switching allows other users to leave current applications and windows open. Depending on RAM, you might need to log out rather than use FUS.

  • HT204053 I set up my iTune and iCloud account with my work email sometime ago.  Last week I changed my iTune email account to a personal email and noticed that the iCloud account has not changed.  I pay for additional storage and would like this changed?

    My first iTune and iCloud account was set up with a work email address.  Last week, I changed my AppleID to a personal email account, but have found that on my iPhone under settings, iCloud, my account still has my work email.  How can I change this to reflect my new personal email.  I also pay to have extra storage, how is all of this working/tying together?  Please help!

    Sorry, you cannot use more than one iTunes account at a time.

    Sorry, there's no way around Activation Lock. So, give the phone back to your "friend", as you will never be able to use it.

  • Use different iTunes and iCloud accounts only for backup

    Hello Everyone,
    Recently I update my iPhone 5,my wife iPhone 6 ,my wife iPad to iOS 8.3 and my MacBook Air to 10.10.3.
    As part of the upgrade i purchase more space on iCloud for backuping my photo library.
    I'm using the same account (iTunes and iCloud) on my Mac and my iPhone but using different one on my wife iPhone and iPad .
    is there any option to use my iCloud account on my wife iPhone and iPad just for backuping purpose.
    I saw that i can logged out from iCloud on her devices and logging in with my iCloud account but i'm affirmed to sync all of my personal data (contacts and so on) to her devices.
    please advice.
    Thanks,
    Marco.

    This sounds like misconfiguration issues.
    For Calendars, log into each of your accounts on iCloud.com. Check the Calenders app there to ensure each of your iCloud-based calendars are properly shared between your wife and you. Remember, when you invite another person to share your calendar, that other person must accept the invitation.
    For Contacts, make sure you have contacts in your account (check on your phone and on iCloud.com). On your phone, go under Settings/iCloud and make sure the toggle is on for Contacts. Again on your phone, go to Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Swipe down and make sure your default calendar is your iCloud-based calendar.
    Hope this provides some insights that lead to a solution for you.

  • HT1296 One Ipod touch has a different Apple ID than the rest. We are unable to sync Ipod Touch with our computer to transfer music we already purchased. How can we get this music transfered?

    How can I transfer music from our computer to an Ipod Touch with a different Apple ID?

    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

  • Different apple id's on itunes and macbook pro

    hello folks. just when i thought i was getting pretty good with our 1 macbook pro we've bought another for my daughter and i'm confused all over again. the question is, right now all apple stuff in the house has the same apple id. when we give her this macbook pro can she set it all up with her own apple id, but use our old sign in/account just for itunes on the new computer? this way it will be 'more hers' but she won't have to lose all the apps she already has. is this possible? and any help on how this will relate to icloud will be appreciated as well. i've asked versions of this question in other forums, but like i said i'm confused. thanks.

    I Tunes and I cloud are different things.  I Cloud ID will be for mail, contacts, docs, ect.  I Tunes ID is for Apps, music, moves, ect.  The only problem is if your I tunes ID and I Cloud ID is different you can not use I Cloud for music and I tunes match.  Apple said they are trying to fix the problem and merge Apple ID's to help but as of right now, you CAN NOT merge the two.  If they are different, you will have to back up your phone on your Mac via I tunes like normal until they fix the problem.  I have tried I cloud for music and I tunes match and I must say, I dont think I will use it until they get some bugs worked out.  I do not mind syncing to my mac.  I tunes match should be ready they say by End of October.
    Sorry for the long response.

  • HT204053 I have a different Apple ID for store purchases and ICloud. Unfortunately my ICloud ID is set to an email I no longer use. I want to change my ICloud ID to match my Store ID but I cannot seem to find the way to do that. How can I update my ICloud

    I am trying to update my Apple ID for my ICloud Account. For some reason, when my IPad updated the OS it put on an old email address and Apple ID to my ICloud account and now I can no longer participate in the ICloud because I cannot remember my password and have no way of retreiving it because my old email account is closed.
    Very frustrating! How can I fix this?
    P

    If you know the answers to your security questions, you should be able to change your password without using email authentication (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HE36).  If you don't, you may be out of luck.

  • If my iPhone is set up with a different apple ID than my itunes library, how do I add music onto my phone?

    I recently got an iPhone 4, and I set up an Apple ID of my own. I would like to put music on my phone, but all of my music is under another Apple ID and it won't let me add music from that account onto my phone. How do I add the music I would like?

    '...but all of my music is under another Apple ID ...'
    This is the confusing part from your Original Post...
    Please state Exactly who this Music you are trying to Sync belongs to.
    If it does Not belong to you... Then Yes you will need to Purchase it.

  • My iphone has a different AppleId (without an email address) and I can't find the password, but it keeps wanting this old id for app updates.

    When I add a new app on my iphone I see the correct AppleId, but later when I try to update the app, I am shown an Id for which I have no password.  When I try to reset,I never receive an email.  Even if I remove the app and reinstall it (these are free apps), it happens again and again.  Anyone have this problem and a solution?

    Are you trying to update old apps?  Those apps would be tied to your old apple ID, the one you use to purchase the apps.
