I have changed my username and password but the apps are still asking for my old username and password. How do I change that

I have changed my username and password for my apple account but the apps previously linked to it are still asking for the old info. And I don,t know it so that's why I updated it

Apps are permanently tied to the ID and password used to purchase them. If you do not remember that information, you cannot update them. If you ned these apps, you will have to repurchase them under your new ID.

How do I reset my IPad 2 so it will recognize my new Apple ID? It won't let me download apps because it's still associated with my old email and ID.

Tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out of the account, and then log back in with the updated version of your account so as to 'refresh' the account on it (you updated your existing account with a new email address, you didn't create a new account ?).

I have changed my apple id, changed it in iCloud but when I go to update on my iPhone5 it is still asking for my old id's password, how can I change it for good?

I had an apple id but recently got a new one (change of email, loss of debit card) I changed my information in iCloud (deleted the old account) but when I try to update my apps and new software to iOS 7 it is still asking me to give the password to the old account. I can't figure out how to change it.

I have changed my apple ID as I have a new email address. This was changed but when I go to the store to buy an app or my email it tells me I have the wrong password as it is still showing my old ID.
Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

My iCloud mail account is messed up. My Apple ID and iCloud ID are not the same. My email address has changed. which I changed in my apple ID, but the iCloud is still referring to my old, non-existand account. Can't guess passwords and it won't le

Bottom line, I can'
t get iCloud messages on my Apple iMac, iPhone or iPad2. I dropped my original email account and went to gmail. I changed my Apple ID to this gmail address on the Apple Store, etc. I've also changed the Apple ID password a few times. This worked fine until this week. I believe I can get game messages (not sure all were delivered), but not iCloud messages. It asks me for the iCloud password, which none work, and then goes back to my old
apple ID and asked for a password. It asks me to reset the password, which I click, but nothing happens. How can I fix this so I know I'm getting all my messages?

Hi rjt,
Sounds like you did not delete the iCloud account on your device before you changed your ID. You will need to do the following:
1.     Sign onto Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the old ID (this is temporary - do not verify it, do not change the password): Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom to delete the account. Use your current password when asked, follow the prompts to complete the deletion
3.     Go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the new ID (you may need to verify it again)
4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign onto iCloud with the new ID
Cheers,
GB

Updated to Maverick, had a desktop folder for pictures I had transferred from my PC. That folder is gone, no icons in Pictures in Finder but the photos are still in images in All My Files! How do I get the organized folder back?

I had transferred all my photo files from my PC when I got my Mac Air. They were in a desktop folder all nicely organized in files (event, dates, etc.) That desktop folder is now gone after the Maverick update. When I click on Pictures in finder it comes up empty (not even a link to Iphoto) I had not put these pictures in iphoto yet. Before Mavericks when I clicked on Pictures the Iphoto icon and my folder showed up. My Iphoto itself is working fine and and those pictures are still intact. I know the pictures are on my Mac because they are all in Images, but they are no longer organized and are no longer in sequence. I would like to know if I my "intact" folder may still be somewhere on my computer. If not what is the best and most efficient way to get those photos from the images only file to Iphoto?

I actually just noticed the "media" option is no longer listed along the left side of Finder. I think that is where I accessed iphoto and my other picture folder.
There is no media option in the Finder. That only turns up in Open... Dialogues like this:

I changed my apple I.D email address but the receipts are still going to my old email address, how do I make it so the receipts go to my new email address?

My email address works to login it just doesn't send the receipts to my new email address!

If you want to change your iCloud ID or password on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated information. Note: this only deletes the account and any synced data from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

If you are talking about your Apple ID password, make sure it IS your apple ID.
In the past 24 hours, I have received two emails "How to reset your Apple ID password". I had not requested any change and I finally realized someone else is trying to reset the password. I have had this Apple ID since 2009 so I am not using someone else's ID.
Again, if you are not receiving the email to reset make sure you have the right ID - it might be going to the email linked to the account, and it might not be yours.

The only way around this is to delete the apps that require the other Apple ID and download them again with yours.
Or simply log out of iTunes & App stores then log in with updated AppleID.

I was using a different itune id and now a new one but when i want to update the old app its always asking for my old app id. Is there a way to change my old app to my new id so that i dont have to use my old id.

There is no other way you can do now. Actually, you don't need to create a new Apple ID account, you can change the Apple ID from old email account to other email accout easily by all the steps below.
1, Open iTunes > iTunes Store > log in old Apple ID > Click on your apple ID on the right hand side on top > choose account > Apple ID > Edit
As long as you only change your Apple ID, then all the old apps are still under your new email account as well as you can keep downloading new apps.

Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account. You may have already done this.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Sorry, you can't. Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any other Apple ID, nor can they be transferred to another Apple ID. You will have to update them using the ID used to originally obtain them.

We have had to change to a new router but the Macbook Pro still reverts to the old router. How can this new one be made the default?

We have had to change to a new router but the Macbook Pro still reverts to the old one. How can we lose this and make the new router the default?

Go to "Network" under system preferences and choose "advanced"
On the Wi-Fi tab you can sort the sequence of the preferred connections.
Then just move your new router to the top of the list.
