I updated my OS and mistakenly created a new Apple ID. I want to change my Apple ID back to my email address
I updated my iphone operating system and mistakenly changed my apple ID from [email protected] to [email protected] How do I switch the Apple ID back?
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")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another 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.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

I'm trying to create a new ichat Acc because for some reason the old one is not working, so I go to Create an Apple ID and start creating a new apple ID, when I submit the Acc it tells me that my Email address is already verified for another Apple ID and thats the only email address I have... What can I do?
There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content. -

You can use a wireless flash drive.
Copy from old iPad > wireless flash drive > copy to new iPad

Wanting to create a new Apple ID but says the email is unavailable/ maybe used already
I Am trying to create a new Apple ID but the email I am trying to use is unavailable or used already. How is that possible? Is it because I have that email in
my phone as well as my email I use for my Apple ID?Is it because I have that email in
my phone as well as my email I use for my Apple ID?
So you're already using this particular email for your current Apple ID programed into your phone?
Every new Apple ID must use a unique email, you can't create 2 Apple ID's with the same email account. -
Installed a new update of iTunes and it created a new folder
Hi,
I lost a hard drive last month and had to purchase a new one. I copied my actual music files to a similar directory format that they were in before (\Music\iTunesMusic\ and under that, the artists and the songs.
I then installed the most recent version of iTunes and it asked where my music was and I told it. It then created a new directory called \Music\iTunes\iTunesMedia\Music where all new downloads now appear. I now have music in two locations (just a few in the new folder, but all of my apps were moved there from my iPod touch and all of my old music in the old folder) and two libraries in two locations (the old one in \Music and the new one in \Music\iTunes and I would like my music to be in one location and managed by one library and I'll delete the library that isn't being used (I don't really care which location). My question is: If I just copy the large folder of music to the newly created location, how do I get it recognized in iTunes and then which library is the correct one so I can delete the other? Is there a better way to manage this so all files are under one location?
Also, I was using Home Sharing on the computer in the other room. How do I change that computer to point to the new location?
Thanks in advance,
GwenOh ok...try using a third party program such as YamiPod or CopyPod, both free and will let you rip your iPod onto your iTunes.
Or do it this way: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
Sorry, I am getting tired and easily confused. Time to call it a night.
Good Luck,

Is there anyway i can create a new apple id with my outlook email
somebody help me before this ****** me off!
Texting to and from Canadian cell #'s is included in your unlimited texting plan. CALLING is another matter, and the info is here: http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/global/international-long-distance-and-messaging.html?country=canada
Looks like you can get 1000 monthly minutes to and from Canada for $15, and the texting is unlimited. -
To clarify: the apple ID I am currently using was created to have a temporary account.

Lost progress in game center account after re-create new apple id account by same email
My situation is that my apple id was locked (I have no idea why) but I failed when tried to unlock it by Send Email Authentication or Answer Secure question (I noted the questions & answers before, then I'm quite sure I have correct stuffs), no idea why it didn't work.
At that time, I did a silly action that I created a new apple id with the same email address (I had thought that it had to be impossible because Apple ID don't allow to create apple id with an unavailable email address and my apple id was just locked, not deleted or changed email). Unfortunately, I could create a new apple id with the same email address of the old one, why it's possible
Then, the new apple id (same email address, same id, even same password ) but all my stuffs on icloud, progress on game center was replaced by EMPTY . hjx, I have a Clash Of Clan account with level 113, I contacted Clash Of Clan admin, they replied that they just could help me to do any necessary query to support if apple require, but they could not restore my progress to the new apple id (new but old)
I appreciate for any recommendation to help me get my stuff back.
Thanks for reading!I was able to correct this by going into Safari privacy settings and changing the accept cookies from Never to only visited.

I can't update apps on my iphone 5. theirs an old apple ID. That I don't have the pass word. I've created a new apple ID. but the old one keeps popping up. I have it on the Itunes on the phone but the old one keeps comming up and asking for a pass word.
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.

If I create a new apple id account on my ipod, will I still have all my music, apps, books and other stuff on my ipod that I downloaded and bought with my old account or will I loose everything; will I be able to still do the updates to those apps?
I really need help!I don't think you understood what I wrote. You don't HAVE to pay for everything if you are happy with using the other account for updates, etc. But if you don't want to do that then you will have to buy new copies of everything for the new account. There's only one purchase item per account, but you can redownload an item in the account many times.
The idea is this:
One computer, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
One user, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
The basic idea is that each user has an Apple ID under which he/she can manage multiple devices on a single computer.
Once you step outside of that model you create such problems as not being able to use or update apps purchase under one Apple ID when using a different Apple ID. Or not being able to easily sync one device on more than one computer. -
I got this iphone from a guy and everytime i tried to update the applications stored in this phone it keeps asking me the password that the guy used to use, even thou i created a new apple ID of my own and updated the account of icloud and everything in this iphone with the new apple ID, it still asks me the password of the account that the guy used to use whenever i tried to update the applications, and i cant find the guy who gave me this iphone...wt should i do???
Apps are permanently tied to the AppleID that downloaded them and cannot be transferred to another. Best thing to do is delete the apps and download those you want or need under your AppleID.

i just created a new apple id for my self and when i go to update an app it shows my moms email and she wont tell me her password how do i get my email to show up
You should have your stuff separate from your mom's. Delete all the apps downloaded or purchased with your mom's Apple ID and download or purchase them with your own Apple ID. Back up files and data first if possible.
