I want to change my apple id becouse of change email adres. Now i can use or update y apps?

I have a new a mail adres. Now i want to change my apple id tot this adres. This is possibel on the site (thanks apple) but all my apps on the i pad still use the former apple id/email adres. Zo cannot use the or update them. It seems i am stuck with the old email adres forever
Helpppp me please, thx

That is not the problem. I do not have a new apple id. I just changed the name of it because my email adres will expire. On the apple site <see your link> is explained how. This works fine on the site, i can log on and off with the new email adres.
But....all the apps on my i pad still contain the old apple id. And....it is not possibel to log on with this account becaue is has been changed :-)
So is seems that the only way a can use apps on my present and future ipad is tot use the same appe id forever...witch is not possible because companies change and so do e-mail-adresses.
Why does apple use email adresses as an id instead of an real id or an apple id

  • I had an apple ID which I used for iCloud.  I upgraded the iCloud account and changed the apple ID to a @me address. Now I can't view what was in my original apple ID account.  How can I get what was stored on the original account?

    Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
    I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

  • I am trying to update my apps on my iPhone.  I recently change my apple ID to a new email address.  When I go to update the pop us is asking for the password for my old email address.

    I recently changed my apple ID to my new email address.  On my iPhone 4 I am trying to update apps and it asks me for my apple ID password for my old email address.  How do I change to my new email address?

    Did you change the Apple ID primary email to another email address or did you create a whole new Apple ID?
    Go to settings>itunes & app store and if it shows your old apple id at the top then tap on it then sign out and then sign in with your new apple id email.

    My Apple ID on my iMac's iTunes Store is my current one.
    My Apple ID on my iPhone is my former one.
    How do I change the one on my iPhone.

    Thank you.
    I have not pinpointed the exact dates but I know I changed my Apple ID and downloaded the apps around the same time a few months ago.
    My old ID is being used by a family member.  I entered the password for that ID and the updates worked.
    Next I will have to see what happens when I try to update the apps, she has some of the same, on her iPhone.
    Again, thank you,

  • HT204053 I have changed my Apple ID due to cancellation of my old email address. Now I can't download updates for apps under old ID. Why, when all settings have been changed on all my devices & in iTunes.

    Why after changing my apple Id can I not down load updates to my devices. I've changed all settings to new Id &amp; even tried to do updates through iTunes but keeps referring back to previous Id which had to be cancelled due to email address change. Please help me find a solution to this problem. thanks.

    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in with the new ID.  However, app updates for your apps purchased with your older ID will always ask for the password for this ID.  (Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.)

  • I just created a new email because my old one wasn't working, so I changed my Apple ID to my new email but now it's saying it can only send to my old email

  • My old email/Apple ID  is showing up connected to the iCloud backup but I have long since changed my Apple ID to my new email address.  How can I update the iCloud so that I can pull the backup down to my new iPAD?

  • Apple id was created w/out CC, now I cannot use Software Update w/out CC

    Let me start by dispelling any notion that I did not search first for this topic. I did search and found dozens of "How to create ID w/out CC". I do not need to create an Apple ID. I have an ID. The issue is that my ID can't be used for my included iPhoto update. It works like this....
    I bought a new Mac Mini. I cannot set up my EXISTING Apple ID because it was created without a credit card, and I want to continue using it that way. I do not want to creat any additional IDs. I don't need to buy anything. When I choose Software Update, it separates the updates based on...
    -- OS updates and
    -- Updates for apps that "could" be purchased, but wrere in fact included with the Mac Mini.
    When it shows an iPhoto update, I cannot install it because a credit card is required. PLEASE do not try to explain that I can give my credit card number and not buy anythign. I know that. I will not give my credit card number. Let's say I do not have any credit card.
    I did manage to download the update directly from the web page and used unpkg to extract the files, moved the files to the correct location, and iPhoto is updated full and perfecly, and works like a charm. The problem is that process did not flush out iPhoto update from the App Store, so it still pops up with the update. How can I either convince Software Update that iPhoto is already updated, or get it to accept my Apple ID without a credit card? I bought the Mac Mini without any credit card, so why can't I update the included software in the normal way?

    Sorry, I rarely make an original post, so it may be different for the initial question. For replies, I have about 15 minutes.
    Sorry, can't help with the credit card issue. It doesn't scare me, so I've never spent any time delving into the issue.
    The Mac App Store has a support link in the Quick Links section. However, I imagine they are just going to tell you to enter your credit card info, but may be worth a try. You may have to aks to be elevated beyond the initial script reader that responds as that is all they likely know.
    EDIT: Another thought is to go in and Edit your account in App Store. It may need you to agree to a new terms of use/privacy policy type thing, but when it goes into that mode, it hangs on asking for credit card info. Again, not sure, but maybe worth a try.

  • HT204266 I have used apple products, phones, apps, iPads for 5 yrs. now, 1 iBook said I had to switch back from a U.K store? I've never been! Now I can't even update my apps I've used for years  

    This is my 1st time   so I can't tell if you all could see my entire question:
    Basically, I've been kind of an apple junkie since my first 1phone 3G approx 6 years ago then on to the iPads.  I've been really lucky with the apps, iTunes,etc. and finally decided to try a couple books and Instant nightmare.  Every time I open my apps or I books it s me I have to switch to the U.S Store.  I've never, switched out of U.S???  Now it's infiltrated my Netflix.  I go under settings and it it's all cool.  I'm in the right time zone.
    Please help me!! I'm healing from a surg and this is my only entertainment while waiting to get back to work.
    Thank you much!!

    Reboot your iPad and then try changing the store again.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Using iCloud has absolutely no bearing in this issue whatsoever.

    I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?

    Same question Wish someone had replied!
    I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple!

  • TS1702 Changed my email (also Apple ID) and have a new iPad, now I can't update or use any of the apps that I purchased on my old iPad because it wants to use my old email (ID) how do I fix this. I have spent a lot of money of these apps!

    I changed my email address, which in turn, changed my Apple ID. I changed the settings of my iPad and things were fine for me, but my husband shares a few apps with me and isn't able to update or use any of those apps now. The change doesn't work for him. 
    Now, I got a new iPad mini and I'm having the same problem. I have purchased many apps which I can't use now. I have a lot of work documents saved to them too.
    Is there anyway that both husband and I can change the setting so we can access the apps we have already purchased?

    You have to be signed into the correct Apple ID in order to download those purchases again for free.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store. Tap the old ID and sign out, then sign in with the new/changed ID.

    I had to change my Apple ID and password in itunes. Now my icloud doesn't work and I can't update my apps on my iPhone. I have looked at suggestions on the community pages and apple suggestions but none of them are relevant to iOS 8.1.2
    icloud just keeps bringing up my old email address & asking for my old password which doesn't exist anymore and when I try to sign out of icloud it wants my old password, when I tried to change my primary email back to the old one it wants me to verify it through an email address that doesn't exist. Please can you help me sort out this nightmare.

    Hi skippy2012trev,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • Changing my Apple ID and its associated email address

    For the past 6 years or so I have used the same Apple ID and email. It started out as an Aol account and is now my [email protected] as my Apple ID. I want to change my Apple ID and its associated email account to Gmail since that is what I use more often now. I see the option to change Email Address has next to it "This will be your new Apple ID", which is exactly what I want to do. I have two questions:
    1) I will change the Email Address field to my Gmail address. Will this create any sort of confusion with the DRMed songs and videos I purchased in the past?
    2) For posting on these discussion boards I have yet another Apple ID (created kind of by mistake, a long story). Is there any way I can merge the two?

    I attempted to do the the same (similar) thing yesterday (Sept 2nd, 2010).
    I wanted to change my current Apple ID used for iTunes Store (which was created years ago when I bought my wife an iPod) to be my Apple ID (created when I joined the Apple Developer program way before iTunes).
    After changing the information and clicking the "Done" button, I received an error message that was positioned on the "Apple ID" box, which stated "this is not a valid email address". I assumed that the "email pattern filter" was erroneously attached to the Apple ID input box, so I contacted iTunes Store Customer Support.
    *iTunes Store Customer Support response:*
    +I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, since "<my.user.name>" is already an Apple ID it cannot be used for another iTunes account. At this point, it can only become it's own iTunes account.+
    I'm posting my followup question below, in case anyone on the forum has these same questions or has any experience with actually doing what Apple proposed - create a new account to be used with an existing iTunes Library - and has any experiences they might wish to share.
    *My followup question to iTunes Store Customer Support (waiting for reply):*
    So, what are the implications of creating a new (second) iTunes account?
    - Will I keep my same iTunes Library (i.e. Will all previous items be visible, when using the new account to purchase items)?
    - How will this affect devices (iPhone, iPod) that are synched to the current iTunes Library?
    So, I guess what I'm asking is; "How tightly coupled is the iTunes "account" information bound to the Library"?
    I don't want to create a situation where:
    - My iPhone and Apps gets wiped out when I sync because it sees a different "account name".
    - My Library looks like I have "zero" items (Music/Videos/Playlist) because I've logged into iTunes with a different "account name"
    I'm attempting to only change the iTunes Apple ID and email associated with the account for purchasing items through the iTunes Store. I want to preserve all other aspects of the current set up.
    Is this possible?
