Use the old Apple ID - log into th eApp store using it
Other wise contact App store support - link is on the right of the App store window

    No.  The items on your hard drive are not dependent on your Apple ID (documents in particular).

    I have icloud on my phone with an apple id that I no longer use. I keep getting asked to enter the password for this ID. However I can't remember the password.

    Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • Can't update software because a message appears that I have to log with the same Apple ID that was used to purchase them: iMovie, Garage Band

    I can't update software because a message appears that I have to log with the same Apple ID that was used to purchase them: iMovie, Garage Band, iPhoto, but those apps came with OSX Lion.
    How can I get the "original" Apple ID?

    Luckily, there is always more than one way to update software.

    You don't need to have your iPod plugged in to access your iTunes library?
    I'm not really sure what it is you are trying to do. :S
    So you plug your iPod in and open iTunes and are prompted for a username and password for an Apple ID that is not yours?  If so, what does this prompt say exactly?

  • Okay so when I try to download apps on my phone a totally different Apple ID that I've never used before popped up. I've already tried settings under apps/iTunes and signed into my own apple account. But even doing so my apple Id won't show up

    Okay so when I try to download apps on my phone a totally different Apple ID that I've never used before popped up. I've already tried settings under apps/iTunes and signed into my own apple account. But even doing so my apple Id won't show up

    Try this:
    Open the iTunes app, select the Music tab, then scroll all the way down to the bottom.  Here you can sign out of any current Apple ID and sign into a new one.  Good luck!
    And just in case there is another Apple ID linked to your account you can check at http://appleid.apple.com.

    All I can suggeset is:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Have you looked at the AMDS topic of:

    I have an old apple id that I don't use (and I don't remember the password) and it now won't let me log in for updates, how can I delete it

    Click here and try resetting that account’s password.
    That Apple ID is stored inside each of those applications. If you can’t get back into it, you’ll need to delete and redownload all of them, which may require repurchasing paid ones.

  • I changed my AppleID a long time ago to an email that I no longer use and I have updates for apps that I can't update because my old email is filled in to where i sign in and it wont let me change it to my new one???

    I changed my AppleID a long time ago to an email that I no longer use and I have updates for apps that I can't update because my old email is filled in to where i sign in and it wont let me change it to my new one???

    The problem with those two apps is that they are supposed to be in your Apple ID and you didn't set up the Mac properly/completely when you got it.
    You might try deleteing them and using OS X Recovery to install them again.

    After that, before you open any iLife apps go to your Mac App Store account, to the Purchased pane and Accept them into your account.

    You may have to do this several times.
    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 canceling 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.

  • ITunes keeps throwing up old Apple id that is no longer used

    iTunes keeps throwing up old Apple id that is no longer used. I have a new Apple id. This very frustrating
    DIggs

    Assuming that you are talking about the iTunes Store on an iPad, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Sign out. Sign in with the new ID.

  • I have an old shuffle that I created with a different email address that I no longer have. is there a way to add these songs to my new account

    I have an old shuffle that I still use with many songs. I created this account with an old email address that I no longer have. Is there any way to transfer these songs to my new account so I may purchase more songs and still use my shuffle? Thank you!

    Basically, no, but as long as all the music is in the same iTunes library and it doesn't contain protected content from more than five Apple IDs, you don't need to. If desired, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

  • How can I cancel an existing Apple ID that I don't use and need anymore?

    As it is impossible to merge Apple ID's I would like to cancel the one that I don't use and need anymore. But even when I sign into my account there is no hint or else to just erase or cancel the whole thing. Any ideas? Thankx a lot!

    Thank you! I thought I've missed something somewhere between the lines...

  • Why can't I have 2 users with 2 different apple ID's on my iMac

    Just bought a new iMac, I have set up 2 user accounts, one for myself the other for my Fiance. We both have different apple ID's yet we can't both download our purchases. As he has already downloaded his old purchases on to the new Mac, when I try, it brings up the box saying that "this computer is already associated with another apple ID, therefore it can't be used with my ID for another 90 days"
    I have tried to get Apple Support to help me out but they just pushed me down the route of Home Share, this isn't working as the laptop with all the music on, isn't always turned on.
    Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Apple say that it can be done, yet 3 live chats, 2 phone calls and many hours later and I still can't access my purchased items, surely the iMac should be able to have multiple users with multiple apple ID's???
    Please help!!

    No, once the initial 90 days has passed, you should both be able to download. My husband and I share an iTunes library, and to the best of my knowledge, we do not have issues with both of us being able to download.
    I'll double-check it tonight when he gets home, but I'm fairly certain we are now both able to do it.
    I'll post back once I've tested it.

  • OK I have a question about "game center" Is it possible to log into the game center with a different apple ID, just within the game center and not anywhere else in the phone?

    I have 2 Iphones, 1 is a personal phone and the other is a work phone, i will be using my work phone only right away, I have an appointed Apple ID on my work phone and i want to transfer my Clash of clans Village with out having to attach my other apple ID to the phone? So basically can my Game center have 1 Apple ID and my phone use another? Hopefully that makes sense.
