I just got a new iPad mini and when i tried to update my apps, and sign in to the iTunes store, it is asking me for my husbands apple id and password. but the apple ID in Settings is mine, not his.
How can I change the sign in so they ask for my Apple ID, not my husband's. This is a new device.
Hi Marmee14,
If your Apps were purchased with his Apple ID, it will still require his Apple ID to update them. If they were purchased with your Apple ID then it will use yours. Apps are linked to the Apple ID they are purchased with.
If, for some reason his Apple ID is set somewhere in the system, this article gives how to change it.
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
For example:
App Store
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, sign in with your current Apple ID.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID, tap your previous Apple ID and tap Sign Out. Then enter your current Apple ID to sign in.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

The iTunes Store is constantly asking me for my username and password.
The iTunes Store is constantly asking me for my username and password.
About the only thing I can do is log into the account, but it's constantly asking me for my user/password.
I've read a number of discussions on the matter -
I am running Lion 10.7.4 on iTunes 10.6.3
I check the keychain access
Reset passwords
etc.
Nothing seems to be working.
Any other ideas?I have the exact same problem, it suddenly just started asking for the iCloud or iTunes password, practically every 5 seconds, no exaggeration. Even more frustrating than that, it rejects the password I enter, even though I'm positive that it's correct! I can barely go from screen to screen without this infernal box popping up, and forget texting or using an app.
After resetting the password & turning the phone off & on a few times, I just finished restoring it and the bloody pop-up was the first thing that came onto the screen when it restarted haha. I hope someone can help -
I have an ipad mini. I did an app update and now many of them have been showing a "waiting" message for two days and I cannot open the app or
delete the app. Any ideas?Double tap the Home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar...tap & hold any app until they all start to wiggle...tap the red minus sign to remove every app shown. Tap the Home button when finished. Try to delete the app now.

Help I keep getting a connection error for App Store and iTunes on my new iPhone 5 but not for game enter? What should I do?
From what I'm seeing, looks like it's being fixed even as we speak. My recommendation is to wait an hour or so and check again. Inconvenient, but that's probably the best option.

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 cancelling 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.

i just got a new ipad 2 and i can't buy stuff on it asks for security question when my apple id was right why
It's a security feature that was brought in a few months ago - when you try to purchase something for the first time on a new computer or device then you will be asked for the answers to your questions (or to set them up if you haven't yet created them).

I have an Ipad first generation with IOS 5.1.1. and I have just got a new ipad mini. Should I use the back up copy of the old Ipad from Itunes to configure the new one, or it is better to configure the new one from scratch?
Contrary to the opinion above, I see no reason whatsoever why you can't set up the new iPad from the backup of the old one. Obviously you will have app updates to make and complete and that sort of thing, but if you want to retain all of your app data and device settings (some of which will change because of the updated iOS), I would certainly restore from the backup first.
If you find that to be problematic, you can always start all over again. -
I just got a new ipad air...it's telling me to connect to a network...I've chosen my home network, which requires a password...I put the password in, but there is no button to press to accept the password. Can someone help me get past this roadblock?
You need 8 characters or more to connect.

Hi. I just got a new iPad. How to I move my Game Center games from my old iPod? My family uses one Apple ID, and I keep getting another
Family member's Game Center on my iPad!Okay so I figured out the solution by reading other discussions. Basically you need to delete on your phone the icloud account and start up a new icloud account with a new email address. This is nice because you can still share apps without getting everyone elses things. The only thing that didn't get worked out was the notes...
On your phone go to settings and then icloud, scroll down and delete the account. Then just make a new icloud under a new email. -
I just got a new iPad air and also own an iPhone 5. I'm receiving most of my text messages on the iPhone, but some are now also showing up on my iPad. I don't want them on my iPad, any suggestions on how to get them to stop showing up n my iPad?
Go to settings>messages>send and receive at>you can be reached by iMessages at> Uncheck your phone number and you can select your Apple ID emal address if you want to use that for messages.
