I have been given my sons iPhone 4 how can I change the ID on it to mine

i have changed the ID on the app store but don't know how to change the ID on the actual phone

What you should do is erase the phone, then set everything up using your Apple ID. You don't say what version of iOS the phone is running, but look here: Settings>Messages...if iMessages is shown, turn it off. Do the same with FaceTime & then delete the iCloud account, it it exists: Settings>iCloud. Once you do that: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. When finished, set everything up using your ID.

    AND I think you will find it is $79  .per incident
    best to check your facts, part of terms of posting here
    Really? My agreement with Applecare+ for the iPhone 5 is $49.00. Apple increased the prices with the release of the iPhone 5S.
    "best to check your facts, part of terms of posting here" is worth repeating.

  • I have a macbook pro 17".  How can I change the way things look?  The page only takes about half of the screen and the fonts are fairly small.  I am sure there is an easy adjustment.  Please clue me in.  Thanks

  • I have several questions. First one, how can I change the email address on my icloud to match my itunes?, I have several questions. First one, how can I change the email address on my icloud to match my itunes?

    The email address I have now is not the email I had when I set up my icloud and now I can't update the new email address on my iphone, can someone help me?
    Second question, I didn't know that everyone in the house had to have a separate itunes account so now my oldest information is on my iphone now, not mine.  I have lost all my contacts, notes and everything and all the information from my oldest is now on the icloud not mine.  How do I get my information back on my iphone?

    If you need to change the primary email address associated with your iCloud Apple ID, see "How to change you Apple ID and primary email address" here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68.  If you change the name of your ID you will need to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your new credentials.  Deleting the account will only delete the account and your synced data from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, you data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.  If you have any photo stream photos on your phone that are over 30 days old, save them to the camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).
    On your second question, did you change iCloud accounts and lose all your data?  If so, is your data still in the original account when you sign into it and check from a computer?

  • I have more than one Apple ID.How can I change the ID on my iMac and other devices?

    I am currently working with an iMac with OS X Version 10.9.5, a third generation i Pad with OS 8 and a 5S iPhone with OS 8. Until I upgraded, my iCloud account synched my calendars, contacts, and messages. Now they are not synching. I have acquired several  Apple IDs over the years. Currently one works well with my iPad and iPhone, but not my iMac. However I cannot find a way to change the iCloud setting in my iMac.

    On your iMac, go to System Preferences, iCloud. Click Sign Out, then sign in with whichever account you want to sync with.

  • I was given an iPad. How do I change the apple Id account to mine

    I was given a used IPad. I can't do anything with it cause it is still registered with his apple Id. How do I change it to my apple Id?

    You can log out of the currently logged in account by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and you can then log in with your own account. But if there is still any content on the iPad from the previous owner then that will remain tied to the previous owner's account (so only that account can update those apps), so you are probably best off removing all content and starting with it 'as new' : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings.

  • ICloud the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone, how to fix this?

    i have problem here on iCloud using my iPhone when i log in it says "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone" how to fix this guys? please reponse

    You would have to contact Apple and see if they would grant an exception and allow you to create another one.  There's nothing you can do on your phone (that I know of) to correct this.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You could simply ensure that only the numbers and addresses you wish to use on each device are checked at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. However this isn’t an ideal solution because the other person can always change these settings from their device and have some fun with you and your contacts.
    You’d be far better getting them to delete your account from their device and have them create one of their own. If you are sharing an ID for some other service such as iTunes, you can continue to do so, you only need change the ID for messages.

  • My iPhone 4s hasn't given me the option to Download and Install iOS 8.1.2. I still have iOS 7.1.2. How can I get the new version

    Try updating it on your computer. If you get a message that your iPhone is up to date then you actually have an iPhone 4, not a 4s.
    Settings > General > About > Model number. What does it show?

  • My husband registered an iphone in his name and have given it to me. I have an ipad registered in my name.  How can I change the iphone to my name and sync both devices.

    My husband registered an iphone in his name and have given it to me. I have an Ipad registered in my name.  How can I change the Iphone from his apple id to my name and sync both devices.

    You can create up to 3 alias addresses but you have to do this on icloud.com from your computer browser.  This article explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.  Also, incoming email to an alias address will go to your current iCloud inbox so it really isn't a separate account; just a different email address for the same account. 
    Each iCloud account only has a single iCloud email account.  If you really want to set up another, you would need to add a secondary iCloud account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, then entering a different Apple ID to create the account.  You can then turn on Mail to create the new account.  Mail in secondary accounts, however, is fetch email, not push (which is only supported in the primary account).

  • HT1766 all my contacts have been deleted from an update. how can i get these restored?

    all my contacts have been deleted from an update. how can i get these restored?

    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.  Your contacts will be in whatever program ( outlook, address book, etc) that you have been synxing.  Sync them back.
    If you have failed to sync them, then they are likely gone.  You can try restoring from backup.

  • I have written an ebook that has been created for kindle. How can I export the book into iBooks author?

    I have written an ebook that has been created for kindle. How can I export the book into iBooks Author?
    I have tried converting the book to different files like, mobi, epub, pdf. By using an app on my iphone.
    I still cannot add it to iBooks Author.
    I'm stuck, Please help me!

    Either use copy/paste and then format/style as desired, or take it to Pages or WORD and insert chapters - which may still require resettling.
    If you're looking for a 1:1 port, with all styles and layout intact, you may be dissapointed, tho.

  • 2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

    You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
    You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.
