1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID.  You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate.  Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME  and visa versa.
4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.

  • Guys, every time I download app on iPhone, i get message that "your user id has been disabled''

    guys, every time I download app on iPhone, i get message that "your user id has been disabled'

    That is exactly what happened to me!  I wrote to Apple and they informed me that my account had been disabled because somebody had made a complaint that their credit card had been used to buy stuff on my account without their consent thus my account was disabled and it was a permanant thing.  They suggested I set up a new Id, explained I could still use my apps but would not be able to update them.  I wrote back to them explaining that there was no way I would have done such a thing, that I felt that I was being penalised over something I had not control over and I had bought my apps in good faith expecting to be able to update them as required.  I also pointed out that a little while ago I found that my account had suddenly changed to a USA based one so that I had reset it and the password along with the credit card attached to it.  I didn't really think much about it but now I wonder if I had been hacked. 
    I did get a very nice email back saying that they would investigate but having waited a few days I just got an email from a supervisor saying they had closed the account, there would be no further information given and I could look at their terms and conditions. I haven't been even been told what apps were supposedly bought through my account to see if there has been a genuine mix-up with credit cards through the banking system.  I feel somewhat besmirched by the whole affair; I would never do anything illegal or misuse my account but despite being a loyal Apple customer who has promoted their products at every given opportunity, both professionally and socially, I have been summararily dismissed without being given the chance to defend myself or my reputation.

For what it's worth, the same Apple ID was accepted when I joined this Discussion Group.  What must I do to get my ID enabled?  I have been unable to find any explicit instructions online.  Thank you.

  • There are 26 songs on my iphone that no matter what I do will not delete or play, they play on my computer but on my phone they wont go away, i tried swiping to delete them and unchecking them but they are still there. Any advice?

    There are songs on my iphone 4 that will no play or delete. They play and work on itunes on my computer but they will not play on my phone and I am trying to delete them. I deleted all the songs, but these will not delete. Any help?

    They are not on the iphone in the first place.  It is just a setting that allows you to see the songs that are available in icloud, but not on your iphone.  If you turn the setting to off, then you no longer see the songs that are in icloud, but NOT on your iphone.

  • My Apple ID has been Disabled. HELP!!

    Hi, My Apple ID was Disabled and i don't know why.
    I have latest software udate for apple on my Win PC and on my old iPhone 3G.
    I've not bought anything for a long time, just log in to iTunes from time to time on my PC.
    I've bought new iPhone 4s and log in with my old Apple ID and i went to app store and tried to buy a FREE app but it show me this:
    [Your Aplle ID has been Disabled]
    I tried to change my password few times but it doesn't help.
    I contact support but noone answer me for 2 express lane reports.. not nice at all..:((
    Why and how to retrieve it?

    I've been an iTunes user for many many years, since about 2003. In all that time, I had to contact iTunes support more times than I can remember and there has never been a time when they didn't contact me and get my problem resolved.
    I find it very hard to believe that you contacted Apple support four different times and each of those times, you never got a response.
    Contacting them through email is your only option and if you don't try, you won't get any help.

  • TS1424 My Apple id has been disabled. I am not able to download any applications and also my old apps which I had downloaded I cannot use on any apple device of mine. Can someone help

    My current apple id has been disabled. When I download any apps I keep getting an error
    " APPLE ID HAS BEEN DISABLED"
    I have contacted Genuis Bar and they restored my iphone to the factory setting and all of my old apps which I had on my machine are also gone. They did an icloud backup restore but that also does not allow any apples to be added to my Apple device - Iphone.
    They gave me a spare phone to check if my phone was corrupted and no that is not the case.
    My apple id has been corrupted. How do I contact Itunes to fix the issue.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    When your account becomes disabled, Apple provides the following recommendation:
    "This message means that someone tried and failed to sign in to your account multiple times. The Apple ID system disables the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You need to reset your password, following the instructions at the Apple ID website".
    Visit iForgot.com and follow the instructions there.
    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 > store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support

  • I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks it asks for the old account's password(which my ex changed by now)

    I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks (only happens with this app)it asks for the other account's password(which my ex changed by now). I don't understand why this happens when I'm logged into my account and it only happens with that app. Please help, I need to update. :/

    Content (apps, music, ibooks, films etc) is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so if the iBooks app was downloaded using the account that you used to share with your ex then only that account can download updates to it. As it's a free app you could delete it and re-download it under your own account - and then re-download your ibooks into it (or copy the books to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them back to the app).
