I have some apps on my iPad that were installed using an old apple ID. They can't be updated because the old ID is no longer valid. How can I change the apple ID associated with these apps?

I installed some apps using an apple I'd that is no longer active. I can't update them because it asks for the password of the old I'd instead of the I'd I currently use. How can I change the apple I'd associated with these apps? I still want to use them. One app I paid for using the old I'd. The other app is free. I have already tried deleting them and reinstalling them.

If you simply just changed the email associated with that appleid you can just delete and Re-download the apps.
You can verify the above step by going to the App Store on device > Updates>Purchased - if you see the app there just delete it from the home screen and redownload from the purchased section
Now if you got rid of that account entirely, you will have to delete and re-purchase on your new account

My tab default is1.25 which is too big for the A5 document I'm working on, how do I change the default tab so that I don't have to reset each individual line?

Hi Hannah,
Inspector > Text > Tabs Button > Tab Settings > Default Tabs.
To set a tab stop on the go, click in the ruler.
If you can't see the ruler, Menu > View > Show Rulers.
To set tab stops for lines (paragraphs) you have already typed, select those paragraphs and set them all at once.
Also, have a look at Menu > Pages > Preferences > Rulers.
Regards,
Ian.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Deleting an account from a device will not delete the information from the account, if that is what you are asking.

I have two apple ID's but cannot remember the security question answers and the email address is no longer active - how can I access this account

I have two apple ID's but cannot remember the security question answers and the email address is no longer active - how can I access this account as it seems to be the one my icloud space is attached to. I haven't backed up my ipad or photos for a while.

Hi there I lost my password for my original iTunes account I can't recover it because the email address it is registered under is not longer valid How can I access my old account?

Hi there.
I did a factory restore and then restored it with iCloud back-up. I have been using lots of Apple products and i have used three different email adresses. Almost all apps restored perfectly but everytime i try to play a song in the Music app, i asks me for a Apple-ID i had no idea i have used.
Hence:
I lost my password for my original iTunes account
I can't recover it because the email address it is registered under is not longer valid
How can I access my old account?
Can't find a place to change the email address to my new one without the password which I no longer remember.
There is no way to just erase Apple-ID's on my device either.
What to do? Should i ju give up and start from scratch and delete 2 years of stuf?
Cheers!

If you can remember the answers to the security questions when you set up that account - I think that you can reset the password without needing email authentication. You can try it here. Read it and see if it's possible. But if you can't remember the answers to the questions it will not work.

Hello Mac4541,
It sounds like you may have reinstalled OS X on your 2008 MacBook and iPhoto didn't get installed.
Given the specifications of your unit, iPhoto may be on a separate install DVD.

I changed the card and i want to know how make to change the data from itunes. I tried and doesn't work. Please, Help Me!

No. That's not what I said. You can get an out of warranty replacement, which will be exactly the same model, color, and will be locked in exactly the same way the original is. If you want an iPhone 5, get the 4S replaced, sell it, and use the money to put toward a new phone.

and what does apple says about this?

How do you change your user name associated with the app store on the iphone 3G. When attempting to update, it is using an old email address that has since been changed at the apple site. The problem is that my phone does not seem to recognize this.

I have exausted my ideas, and turn to the forum, prior to paying for something that may be a 2second simple fix. Please help if you can. Let me know if you need more info to understand my dilema.
Thanks.

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You will always be asked for the password associated with this ID when updating apps, regardless of whether or not you are using this ID for current purchases. The only way to stop this is to delete the old apps from your phone and iTunes and repurchase them with your current ID.
Edit: to change the ID used for future purchases on your phone, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the new ID. As explained above, you will still be prompted with the old ID when updating apps purchase with the older ID.

How can I update apps that were installed using another Apple ID

I have an ipad that was set up by my school. I use my own apple ID however it came preinstalled with Pages, Keynote and Numbers. However according to my app store these apps need to be updated. I press update and insted of asking me for MY apple ID, it asks for the schools.
Is there a way of updating this app with out needing to schools apple ID password. The guy that created it has since left and no-one knows what he set the password to.
Thanks

I have discovered that I have an allergy to my iPad. Everytime I use it, I develop everything from sniffles, a dripping nose, coughing and sneezing. Within a few minutes of putting it down, the symptons disappear. Does anyone else have this reaction?

I have found that I have an allergy to the iPad. Everytime I use it, I get any or all of the following reactions: sniffling, sneezing, coughing, choking. Withing a few minutes of putting the iPad down, the symptoms disappear. Has anyone else had the same or similar experience.

This is the iPod touch forum. I requested your post be moved to the iPad form. I hve not seen anything like that reported in this forum

I have some albums on my itunes that were transfered from my ipod, and some that were put on itunes from CDs. Now the 1st 10 songs of every album say that the original file can't be found, and i cant find them anywhere.

One day, they were there and working, the next they were all like this. There is a lot of money in these, and i would like to be able to keep using them.

Never move songs around by hand, iTunes will lose track of the files that you move.
Your iTunes library is normally stored in C:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunes.
The iTunes application stored in C:\Program Files\iTunes is meant to hold a selection of dll files that are needed by the program. Leavel them alone unless you are actively Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
If you know where you've moved things to my script FindTracks may be able to reconnect iTunes to the relocated tracks.

How do I change a phone number associated with FaceTime?

My work phone number is associated with my personal iPad and I need to change that. It only allows me to uncheck the phone number but not to change it. Any thoughts?

If the phone number is associated with your Apple ID, follow the instructions at the end of this support article to add it to FaceTime and messages.

From the UK but not there right now - how do I change the region so it lets me buy the plans?

Currently on holiday in Barbados, but I live and study in the UK, and intend to pay from my British bank account. I need to download the photoshop and lightroom plan before going back to university to get started on some things, but it won't let me because it is 'not available in your region (Barbados)'. I have changed the region option at the bottom to the UK, but it doesn't make a difference. How do I tell it I'm from the UK? If I purchase it by phone will that work?

Hi there
If you are normally resident in the UK you need to set up your Adobe ID with UK as the country. I've made a change in our system so please go ahead and create a new Adobe ID with UK as the country using the same email address. You should then be able to sign up.
Hope you're having a lovely holiday - we're not jealous at all!
Kind regards
Bev

I have a new iPad and I never made a purchase on it... Hereford it asks me for two security questions. How do I check the answers or how do I change them?
Because I answered them long time ago

Click here for information. If the option to have the answers emailed to you isn't available or doesn't work(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article.
