I changed my apple id username and now it has not changed on my phone

Thank you soooo much!! I have been trying to figure out how to fix this for ages. This worked.
I used to synch to my work computer and changed jobs and my home computer does not have a high enough version of Windows for iTunes to synch and I just haven't wanted to invest in that. I am fine if I can just download directly onto my phone and now I can thanks to you!
I really appreciate it!

I changed my apple ID password and now facetime cannot verify my e-mail address. I have tried changing my password back but still recieve the same pop up window telling me that the email could not be verified and to check my network but have wifi working

Please help. I changed my apple id password and now cannot use facetime and my icloud continues to prompt me for my password and I continue to give it but, I repeatedly am prompted for the password unless I cancel the icloud. I have tried changing my password back to the password I had before and this did not work. I have tried to use another e-mail address for facetime and had verified that e-mail address and this did not work. I do not know how to fix this problem. I have thought about changing my apple id but am not sure how I would be able to carry over the same credit card number to the new apple ID. I loved my Mac book Pro because I could facetime my boyfriend while I am working away and now I cannot. I am starting to hate Mac.

The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

I changed my Apple ID password and now I can't log into iCloud

I changed my Apple ID password and now I can't log into iCloud. In addition I am unable to sign out or exit the iCloud System Preference page and have to force a shut down using the power off button to get rid of it. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

If the Preference Pane hangs, hit comand-option-escape and force quit System Preferences to avoid having to reboot.
In order to sign out you need the original password if you have set up 'Find My ....'. However you can't now change the password back to the original one (as you are not allowed to re-use a password).In this situation only Support can help you.
To contact iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

Hey there caribbeanbeach,
It sounds like you are not able to log into FaceTime after changing your Apple ID password. I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article to help you troubleshoot the issue:
FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4185
Activating FaceTime for Mac
Use your Apple ID to register and use FaceTime. FaceTime registration validates your Apple ID and email address for use with FaceTime.
If you are unable to activate FaceTime, try the following:
Verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at appleid.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this website.
Check that your email address is verified in FaceTime > Preferences.If FaceTime > Preferences shows your email status as "verifying," follow the instructions in the verification email that was sent to complete the process.
Toggle FaceTime off and on in FaceTime > Preferences.
If still unable to Sign In follow the instructions in FaceTime, Game Center, Messages on OS X: Troubleshooting Sign in
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

TS3988 i changed my apple id email and when i sign into iCloud on my phone it still comes up with the old email and my password isn't working for it?

i changed my apple id email and when i sign into iCloud on my phone it still comes up with the old email and my password isn't working for it?

Try going 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 iPhone on your device, 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. Then 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.

You'd only get that message if iOS 7.0 Beta was installed on this phone. There is no fix. Either return the phone for a refund, or give it back to your boyfriend & have him get it fixed.

TS4009 I received an email from apple stating my icloud storage was almost full. I deleted apps and photos and the storage has not changed, so what am I supposed to do?

I received an email from apple stating my icloud storage was almost full. I deleted apps and photos and the storage has not changed, so what am I supposed to do?

... I clicked on it (I know I am not supposed to do this - I won't ever do it again) and no window opened up.
You're right - it is never a good idea to click on links sent in an email unless you are absolutely certain they are legitimate, and that is only becoming more difficult as spammers and phishing attempts are getting better every day. Having no association with Verizon is all the more reason to simply delete the thing.
Next, by supplying your email address all you did was confirm to whatever site was sending you this spam that your email address was legitimate. Again, when in doubt just delete the email and forget you ever saw it.
... How can I check to see if my computer has been hacked and how can I protect it further.
The good news is that is highly unlikely. The bad news is that your email address might be used as the "from" address for spam sent to others, and that you are only more likely to get more spam from the phony Verizon site as well as every other potentially malicious operators.
The best advice would be to simply abandon that email address, but if you can live with the previous potential concerns it would be overkill. I would recommend changing your passwords for financial institutions (banks, credit cards and so forth) as well as your email account or accounts. That is simply good practice whether or not you did what you did.
As far as any malware is concerned, again that is unlikely, but make sure you run Software Update to get all Apple's latest updates.

Connect your iPhone to your computer. Select it under Devices in the source list left side of the iTunes window.
Select the Summary tab from the menu.

I changed my Apple ID Username, but now my daughter's iPod Touch cannot connect and won't take the new sign-in protocols???

I changed my Apple ID Username on my iMac, but now my daughter's iPod Touch cannot sign-in to iTunes, Apps, etc.. The old username sign-in doesn't work either. Apple Store Rep advised using iCloud to back-up her iPod, but have no experience with iCloud - have nevr used it on my iMac. Any info would be helpful.

I would suggest visiting this URL http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.

So, i changed my apple password. And now when i log into my iMessage it won't allow my new password, or my old one. How do i figure this out?

Can someone help me with my imessage. I changed my password and now it's not allowing my new password, or my old one.

Did you purchase Apple Care? If you did, you still have access to Apple Support. If not, go to your Apple Store and let them help you get it set up correctly. I'm sure it's something simple we're missing. Good Luck.
Do remember one thing. iMessage on iPad only works with other iOS devices. This means you can only text to people who:
1. Have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch
2. And they have upgraded to iOS 5 or higher

I changed my email on Facebook and now I can't change it on my iPad help

I changed my email for my Facebook and now I can't change it on my iPad

I recently changed my Apple ID username and password and now get a message each time I open my iPad to enter my Apple ID to continue to receive downloads. However the message shows the old username for my Apple ID.

I recently changed my Email address which required me to change my username for my Apple ID and my password. The changed has been successful, but each time that I open my iPad, I get a message that I need to enter my Apple ID to continue to receive downloads. The problem is that the username that comes up for entry of the password is the OLD Apple ID username. I have entered the old password and then then I am directed that it is not correct and given advice to change my password or username. I can't figure out how to resolve this issue.

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.

I've changed my Apple ID password and now it won't let me download updates.

For reason, I had to change my password to access the iTunes store etc. When I try and input that p/w to access software updates for iMovie and iPhoto, I get the following message (roughly)
This ID is assigned to another Apple device....if you cannot access the Apps store with that devicee, you will have to purchase the software (updates).
I buy on iTunes with that p/w....and now I can't even use iPhoto because I've got an older version (or soemthin!) and I can't get the uipdates.

It helps if you fill in the profile information so that we know what model Mac and version of OS X it is running.
All the at you did was change the password you are using and the Apple ID stayed the same?
Did you ever accept these iLife apps into your Mac App Store account associated with this Apple ID when the Mac was new?

I changed my apple id username and now it has not changed on my phone
