I recently got a new itunes account and I've added it to my Iphone but when I go to update my apps on my phone its still asking for my old itunes password. How do i fix that?

I recently just opened my own itunes account. I thought I added it to my iphone. However everytime I go to update my apps on my phone it keeps asking for my old itunes account password. How do I change that?

For what reason was a new iTunes account created?
Content acquired from iTunes is permanently tied to the account it was acquired with.

I recently updated to ios7, and synced my phone with my wifes itunes library. now, when I try to update my apps on my phone, I get asked for her apple ID password, instead of mine. We have tried re-syncing my phone to my itunes already

Resyncing my phone did not fix the problem. I also tried going into my store settings, on my phone, and logging out of my ID, and logging back in. It still shows her ID, but only when I am trying to update the apps that are already on my phone. I have to enter my own ID password to download new apps.
I deleted all of the apps off of my phone, and redownloaded them (from the Cloud), and that still did not work.
Does anyone know how to delete my wife's apple ID from my phone completely?

Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
All you need to do is delete those apps belonging to your wife.
Check Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > your own Apple ID here. If not, sign out here and sign in yours.

Since the iOS 8.3 update my iPad keeps asking for my old iTunes password(the account I don't use and can't reset as the e-mail address was hacked) As a result I can't update my apps because it reverts back to asking for my old iTunes password.

Since 8.3 iOS update my iPad keeps asking my old iTunes password for an account I've disabled as my e-mail got hacked. As a result I can't update any of my apps ( I'm missing out on hay day)

Any content is tied to the account that you used to buy/download it - so if you created a new account as opposed to updating the existing one, then you will need to use the old account to download updates to its apps. Can you not update your old account so as to have a new email address on it (e.g. via this page) ?

In Mail's Accounts preference pane delete the Yahoo account, close Mail, reopen and add the account back with the new password. See if that will jump start the Yahoo account,.

I do not really understand what you are doing to get them from the iPod to the computer.
First import them to the computer by:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
The sync them to the the other device

How do I switch my 6th generation over to my new iTunes account and put all my songs from my iPhone onto it?

How do I switch my 6th generation over to my new iTunes account and put all my songs from my iPhone onto it?

The iphone is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a abckup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

Hi maggieanntb, your sister's Apple ID came up because an app(s) was downloaded using her account. To prevent that from happening, you would have to delete the app(s) that were downloaded on her's, and re-download them using your own Apple ID.

These are iMessages only.
He activated iMessage on his iPhone with the same Apple ID that you activated iMessage with on your Mac.
On your Mac, go to Messages preferences.
Under the Settings selection for your Apple ID, deselect your brother's phone number for you can be reached for messages at.

There is no other way you can do now. Actually, you don't need to create a new Apple ID account, you can change the Apple ID from old email account to other email accout easily by all the steps below.
1, Open iTunes > iTunes Store > log in old Apple ID > Click on your apple ID on the right hand side on top > choose account > Apple ID > Edit
As long as you only change your Apple ID, then all the old apps are still under your new email account as well as you can keep downloading new apps.

HT1766 I have restored my new phone from I cloud but when I connect to my PC to put some music on it asks for set up as new phone or back up from a date from iTunes that is too old. Help it's doing my head in

Select setup as "New", the next screen should prompt you to rename your phone. Just name it what you already have it named. After that, you should be able to sync and all of your data & settings will still be exactly as you've already set them up on your phone. The message is more threatening than what really happens.

When I plug in iPhone (5.1.1) to computer, playlists show up on the iPhone (when plugged in), that do not appear when it is not plugged in. And I can't erase them. I have iTunes match, and deleted all my music on the iPhone, but that had no effect.

I cannot manually move songs or playlists from the PC to the iPhone
Help greatly appreciated.

All content and data is forever associated with the Apple ID you used to download it. You should have reset the password for the original I'd.
