I phone 4 hangs on to old Apple Id under i OS 5.0.1

I upgraded my Apple Id and the new Id shows up on my iPhone 4 under settings >store but the iPhone presentst the old apple id when I try to upgrade the apps I have purchaded.  It wants an old pasword that the system refuses to retieve.  I've tried the previously suggested solution of going to "Settings>Store...tap the Apple ID shown, sign out, then sign in using your current ID" but the phone still hangs on to the old ID.
I tried a restore (took three hours)  but the old Id came back to haunt me.  The system will not give me the old apple id password because it's not in email form.
I really love and depend on my iphone but don't want to repurchase all my apps if possable especially since Apple says u can re re-download a purchased app.
I have upgraded to iOS 5.0.1... has anyone out there encountered this problem?

But the iPhone will have to active on the O2 network in the UK .If the iPhone has not been used on the O2 network
for any length of time ,then it must be used with either a contract or a PAYG sim using the iPhone making calls .
This allow the IMEI to show on the O2 network
HOWEVER
If you are not in the UK the iPhone cannot be unlocked for the above reasons and no-one has ever achieved
an unlock from ouitside UK

  • HT5824 How do I delete an iCloud ID from on my iPhone 5s, The phone only shows my old apple ID, not the new one?

    How do I delete an iCloud ID from on my iPhone 5s, The phone only shows my old apple ID, not the new one?

    Go to Settings -> icloud and then you should see your icloud id, scroll to the bottom and select delete account, you are then able to add your new one.
    Hope it helps

  • I have a new Iphone 4S with my new Apple ID, Itunes and Icloud are both linked to that Apple ID.  However, when I try to upload Icloud from my new phone, it pulls my old Apple ID, an old email I no longer use.  I don't see a way to change it.  Help?

    I have a new Iphone 4S.  It is linked to my new Apple ID, as is my Itunes, Itunes Match and Icloud.  HOWEVER, when I try to upload Icloud on my actual phone, it pulls my very old Apple ID....an email that is no longer in use.  I don't see a way to edit or change it to the correct Apple ID...is there a way to do that?

    If the apple id being used by iCloud isn't the one you want, go to settings > icloud > delete account. It doesn't actually delete the account, but it removes it from your device so you can put in the right apple id

  • Upgraded to IOS* and phone reverted to an old Apple ID

    Hi all, I've just upgraded to IOS8 on my iPhone 5 and it's reverted to an old Apple ID that I no longer have the email for or the password. This means that I can't turn off Find My iPhone and access iCloud to delete the device and switch over the the new Apple ID.
    This has also caused the password prompt to pop up every few seconds........ GRRR!
    How can I shut the old Apple ID down and use the new one? Especially when the password prompt goes to an email address I no longer have access to?

    Are you not just able to sign out and then sign in with your new details.

  • HT204053 the iCloud on my phone is using my old Apple ID

    How do I change my Apple ID in the iCloud section of Settings on my iPhone.  I changed everything over to my new email address but iCloud is still showing my old email address and it won't let me click and change. 

    Hey CYborg76,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    - If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    - If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
              1. Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
              2. Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Running old apple software under sheepshaver

    Having finally successfully got sheepshaver v2.3 running, I now find that my old apps won't transfer or work!!!
    Curses!
    I've loaded up OS 8.5 from disc- after taking the disc out and giving it a good clean to get a full install- and it includes Simpletext, Apple FM Radio, Network Browser and Qicktime Pictureviewer and Movieplayer. These all load and text saved in Simpletext can be transferred as a file via the Unix folder on the virtual machine to the shared folder on the MacBook and opened with Textedit.
    Attempts to move my old apps into the shared folder have led to some apps folders moving onto the desktop of the virtual machine and disappearing from the shared folder and some staying in the shared folder and appearing nowhere on the virtual machine. The folders on the virtual machine have documents and subfolders but appear to have lost the applications.
    I am very puzzled.
    I should add that I got the above sorted on 13.7.07 which was a Friday, so it may be a gremlin.
    Any help/ advice/ cash/ ancient monuments will be gratefully received.
    BTW- I've upgraded from OS7.5 via 8.6 from old PowerMacs that happily ran all my old apps. I hope to have at least ClarisWorks4 and MiniCad 6 running as I have a multitude of such files.

    I've had this Intel 10.4 for a year and a half and don't run any Classic or earlier apps. I gave all the software to the folks that bought my G-3 and way back Preforma systems.
    Yes good point elmac! The newer software for each system was always alot better and I could always bring my photo's and doc's to the new system. I would keep my systems for years then make a big jump to the newest system, the hardest part was that thrid party software was hard to come by and expensive.
    I was just giving the OP something that may help them with that MiniCad 6 and other early software. I know the feeling, it hard to give away over a $1000.00 of old worthless software and a 8+ year old $2300.00+ computer for a $100 bill....

  • HT204053 When I go into I cloud on I phone and iPad it shows my old Apple ID.  How do I change it to the correct one

    My I cloud on the iPad and I phone is showing my old Apple ID.  Not sure why. This is not the one I purchase and log into I tunes.  I have read that the only way to correct it is to delete the I cloud account. Not sure I want to do that and lose everything.  Any advice please

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I wouldn't worry too much about using 2 iD's.
    It is possible to move all your data into the other ID, but it can be a bit of a pain

  • My old Apple Id can no longer be accessed due to my original e-mail being locked out. How can I switch Apple ID's without access to the one my phone continues to use?

    My old hotmail account which has my old Apple ID (which is still connected to my phone) has been locked out. I have forgot the password to my original Apple ID and a recovery cannot be sent to my old account due to me not being locked out (believe someone has hacked it). I have set up a new Apple ID with a seperate e mail adress, however I cannot use the App Store because of my phone only recognizing the original e-mail I can no longer acess. Please help.

    Contact the Apple account security team for your country and ask for assistance resetting the password: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.

  • HT204053 I have changed my apple ID and I changed it via computer.  When I just went to update my apps, my phone is still showing the old apple ID so I can't log in to update.  How do I change the apple ID from my iphone?

    I have successfully changed my apple id via computer.  Now, how do I change it on my actual phone?  I have the 5.1.1 iphone 3G.

    I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices. 

  • I had to change my apple ID and password.  When I want to update my aps. on my I phone 4S I get a box that says I need to sign in to I tunes.  It has my old apple ID and I can't find any way on my phone to change the address it has in the box.  Help!!

    Because of a nasty virus on my computer I had to change my apple ID and password.  When I went to update my apps. on my I phone 4s the box said I need to sign in to I tunes.  The ID it had in the box was my old apple ID and I can't remember the password.  I can't find any where in my phone settings that will let me change my I tunes ID although I have a new apple ID and password that I used to get on this site but I can't change it on my phone.  Please help.
    Thanks

    ChrisJ4203,
    Thank you for the help.  Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID.  I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone.  In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one.  My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID.  Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I  agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You will have to delete the apps from the phone and re-purchase them using your Apple ID.

  • HT5622 how to get rid of an old apple ID on my iphone 5 . the ID belongs to a store where I bought my phone ,and it's in a different country ??

    How to get rid of an old Apple ID on my iphone 5 ? The ID belongs to a store I bought my iphone from ,and it's in another country.

    You can't.  That's the new security feature of iOS7 that users (and others) requested to prevent stolen devices from being restored by theives and reused.  Contact the "store" you purchased your phone from and see what they say.
