  • Changed my apple I'd email address but my iPad still asks for the old one

    Changed my Apple ID email on the computer I run ITunes on. Opened my iPad and tried to update an App and it asks for my old email as username and therefore won't accept the new password.

    I think it might be because I have not had this ipad linked to my Apple ID for over 90 days? Only got it a couple of weeks ago. It's so frustrating!
    Thank you for the prompt reply.

  • I changed my Apple ID a while ago but my iPad is asking for the old one to set up iCloud?

    I changed my Apple ID a while ago because I got a new email address, and it works fine when I am downloading apps or music etc. but I just got the iOS 6 update on my iPad and it's asking for the password to my old apple ID to set up iCloud, iMessage, and FaceTime. I followed the steps to reset my password, but it's not working because its asking about the old email address and I can't seem to change it. It's an optional step but I'd like to be able to have this stuff set up on my iPad. Thanks for the help!

    If you need to change the ID for iMessage, go to Settings>Massages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you need to change the ID for FaceTime, do the same thin in Settings>FaceTime.
    If you need to change the ID for iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • Time machine - On backup disk change still looking for the old one

    Hi,
    I had a backup disk from my D-Link NAS, which died, I bought a Synology Diskstation and enabled Time machine.
    I can see the hard drive in time machine preferences, I can select it and everything seems to be ok. Until a backup is performed, at the moment system says it can't find the original (D-Link) disk. Even in console app I can see it search for the afp for D-Link.
    I tried to disable time machine, reboot. Also remove the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
    Also using command line util tmutil it fails.
    tmutil destinationinfo
    ====================================================
    Name          : Backup
    Kind          : Network
    URL           : afp://backup@DataCenter_AFP_Backup._afpovertcp._tcp.local/Backup
    ID            : 16EE688A-9FE1-40EE-8495-84BC56FD63B7
    tmutil removedestination 16EE688A-9FE1-40EE-8495-84BC56FD63B7
    but It won't remove it, destinatininfo prints the same result
    I tried to set destination with the new afp path, but no change.
    Any idea what else I could try?

    That device is unsuitable for use with Time Machine. I know this isn't the answer you want, and I also know that the manufacturer says the device will work with Time Machine, and that it usually seems to work. Except when you try to restore, and find that you can't.
    If you want network backup with Time Machine, use as the destination either an Apple Time Capsule or an external hard drive connected to another Mac or to an 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only the 802.11ac base stations support Time Machine, not any older model.
    If you're determined to keep using the NAS for backup, your only recourse for any problems that result is to the manufacturer (which will blame Apple.)

  • HT1689 Changed apple ID but it always asks for the old I'd

    I changed my apple ID but every time I sign in it asks for the old one, even if already signed in on new id.  Please advise.

    Did you create a new account or update the old one ? If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

  • 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.

  • I have changed my itunes account email address but apps linked to itunes have not updated email address on iphone 4

    I have changed my itunes account email address but apps linked to itunes have not updated to the new email address on iphone 4

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    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")
    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.

    You cannot change your Apple ID. You can get a new one if you want, but all of your Apps and media are linked to yoru old Apple ID. And no, Apple won't transfer your old ID purchases to yoru new ID.

  • HT1386 I had to change the computer I have iTunes installed on, my iPhone is still looking for the old computer to sync over WiFi.  How do I change the WiFi computer associated to my iPhone?

    I had to change the computer I have iTunes installed on, my iPhone is still looking for the old computer to sync over WiFi.  How do I change the WiFi computer associated to my iPhone?

    Hi Terri571,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    See these steps for setting up Wi-Fi syncing between your iPhone and new computer:
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    Wi-Fi syncing
    Open iTunes
    To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
    In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
    The iOS device is plugged in to power
    iTunes is open on the computer
    The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
    While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
    Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
    If the iOS device does not appear in the Devices section or you are unable to sync, please see this article for troubleshooting.
    Best,
    Jeremy

  • I changed my Apple ID two weeks ago and I Accidently forgot to sign out of my iCloud on my iPhone 5C. now it wont let me change the iCloud ID to match my new Apple ID. How do I change my iCloud ID even though it is asking for the old ID?

    I changed my Apple ID two weeks ago and I accidently forgot to sign out of my iCloud on my iPhone 5C. Now it wont let me change the iCloud ID to match my new Apple ID. How do I change my iCloud ID even though it is asking for the old ID?

    If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • HT1382 i got an iPad and all my app's, music,  and movies are on it, but when i try to download some apps to mi iPhone, they doesn't appear on the purchased tab, how could i move them back to itunes so i can access thru iCloud?

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

  • Personal Domain changed but iWeb still remains with the old one

    Hi,
    recently I changed my Personal Domain on MobileMe. Unfortunately iWeb still remains with the old one: Even if I create a new iWeb-Domain the problem occurs. I also checked whether this is a local iMac problem or not but it isn´t unless I have the same issue with my MacBook Air using the same MobileMe Account. Every time I open iWeb the 'Settings Page' shows the old personal domain name (displayed in brackets behind the MobilMe Account information). At MobilMe the new Personal Domain name displayed as the active one.
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks in advance
    Mikl

    I have this same problem.. Any help would be appreciated!!!

  • I created a 2nd itunes account, not I want to merge the 2 accts and delete the old one - how do i do this?

    i created a 2nd itunes account, not I want to merge the 2 accts and delete the old one - how do i do this?

    Any reason you created a new account instead of updating the old account with any new info?
    You cannot merge accounts. Anything purchased on an account will stay linked to that account and cannot be changed.
