Sign out of that Apple ID, then sign in with the correct one.
Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.

  • HT1595 My apple tv stuck at setting date and time. Also when connecting yo network doesn't ask for network password

    My apple tv stuck at setting date and time. Also when connecting yo network doesn't ask for network password

    I just went through this last night. (Aug 15, 2013)
    What I did to get back up and running. This is not the first time I have lost the network connection with my Apple TV 3
    Products effected: Apple TV 3 and Home Sharing (My Apple TV 1 was not effected)
    Power down (unplug) the Apple TV and power down your router ( in my case, it is a FIOS router, flipping the on/off works fine).
    Power both items back up.
    At this point, I usually can reenter my Apple ID and PW. and reconnect Home Sharing.  But for some reason I was unable to reconnect last night but was able to get it reconnected in the morning. I was jut to tired to deal with it last night.
    A new issue that is was able to fix after a good nights sleep.
    I did figure out, (after trying to reenter my ID and PW many times and having it tell me that my ID and PW was wrong), that when using the Apple TV on screen keypad to type in the user ID. DO NOT use the ".com" keypad button. Instead type out each character for .com. ( or what ever ending you use for your ID account.)
    Once I typed out my full ID and PW. everything is back to 100%

  • When I  update an app it asks for my password (as usual) but now there is no touch keyboard or other way to enter the password. This problem started, I think, after the latest OS update.What's going on?

    I tried a reset and it did the trick.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • My Apple TV was set up with a different Apple ID than I have for my ITunes Account.  In other words I have multiple Apple ID's.  How can get these accounts to sync up?

    If you wish to use home sharing then you need to setup the Apple TV under your ID.

    Hello, Lynne. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here is a helpful article that explains how iTunes purchases are billed. 
    iTunes Store: How iTunes Store purchases are billed
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
    When using iTunes to purchase content for the first time on a new device, it may require you to verify your payment information as a way to authenticate your device.  If this not a new device attempting to access iTunes store and prompting you provide payment information, there could be an outstanding balance.  This article will show you how to verify you purchase history and invoices.

    Also, you can change the payment method as none as long as there isn't an outstanding balance on the account.

  • I have changed my Apple-ID to a new mail-adress. But I have not managed to change the adress in iCloud in my iPhone. The iPhone just asks for my password to the old Apple-Id.

    Hi!
    I have changed my Apple-ID to a new mailadress. But I have not been able to change the iCloud-adress in my iPhone. The iPhone just asks for my password to the old Apple-ID.  Can anyone help?

    If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • HT201240 I just got my Mac yesterday.  My kids want to access sites that need the adobe player.  When I try and download it asks for a password.   I do not even remember setting one up?  How do i find out what it is?

    I just got my Mac yesterday.  My kids want to access sites that need the adobe player.  When I try and download it asks for a password.   I do not even remember setting one up?  How do i find out what it is?

    FYI this is the legitimate Flash Player installer:
    This one is bogus:
    As X423424X wrote do not download it from any site other than the one he linked.
    Adobe does not require a password to download the Flash installer. Generally speaking passwords are not required to download software, unless you must register with the website so as to log in. In that case you should never use the same name and password you use to administer your Mac.

  • When I upload an app, it asks for my password, then says it's incorrect.  When I reset it (after 3 tries) and put in the new one, it still says it is incorrect.

    When I upload an app, it asks for my password, then says it's incorrect.  When I reset it (after 3 tries) and put in the new one, it still says it is incorrect.  What am I doing wrong?

    I assume that you meant that you reset the password three times. Did you receive any verification that the new password was accepted?
    Sign out of you account, restart the iPad and sign in again. Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID and sign out.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in again.

    I hope you bought this from a store, you can return it and get your money back. BUT if you bought from a person off the street or off the net, someone you don't know... I'm thinking you just got screwed! And are out the money and have an expensive paper weight. I hope I'm wrong, but I think you have a stolen iPod. If you can find the person that sold it to you return it and get your money back, but I'm thinking they are long gone. If you can not find the person report it to the police and turn it over. Sorry and Good luck.

  • I have a new email address which I have had verified, but when I try to update an app it asks for my password with the old email address and always comes back telling me it is an incorrect password.

    I Have a new email address which I have entered into settings and it has been verified. I no longer have the old email address.

    Hi Vivian Zollman,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I'm not sure if you are referring to your Apple ID or just your email account in the Mail app.  So, I've included all of the articles that may be relevant for you.

    If you already have an email account set up and you want to modify its settings, tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, tap the name of your account, and then your email address. Then tap any information you want to adjust.

  • I wanted to update 6 apps. but iTunes asked for the password of my old Apple ID. Now, I can't get into iTunes., I wanted to update 6 apps. but iTunes asked for the password of my old Apple ID. Now, I can't get into iTunes.

    When I opened my App Store today, I found 6 apps needing update.  I clicked “Update All” and there popped “Sign in to iTunes Store” and asked me to enter the Apple ID password for <my account>.  I entered my password for the Apple ID but it said “Your Apple ID or password is incorrect.” Since I entered incorrect passwords many times, I had to reset my password two times already.  I want to update the apps on my phone. But, I can’t , and this is tiring, exhausting, and frustrating.  My questions: (1) Why is iTunes asking for a password for an old account  when I changed that already? (2) What to do now - Do I sign out of iTunes, delete the account and create a new one?
    <E-mails Edited by Host>

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
    Is the old account a completely different iTunes account, or is it just a previous primary email address on the same account ? If it's a different account then all content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, so only that old account will be able to download updates to its apps.
    If it's the same account, just a previous primary email address, then what id shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your phone ? You could try tapping on that and log out of it and then log back in with the updated version and see what id then shows for updates.

  • Backed up my old phone to my computer.  trying to sync new phone and retrieve old info.  It is asking for a password.  I never gave it one.  How do I get to my stuff????

    backed up my old i-phone 3 to my computer.  tried to sync new i-phone 4S to computer to restore info.  It is asking for a password.  I never assigned one.  How do I get to my info????

    iTunes will recognize your new phone as a different device from your old phone.  Do you have any information on your new phone that you want to save?  Restoring to the backup of your old phone will overwrite your data and settings with those of your old phone.  If you want to save any data on your new phone, you'll need to do this first.  After doing so, connect it to iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Restore from Backup, when prompted, selecte the backup of your old phone to restore from.
