I was given an iPad. How do I change the apple Id account to mine

I was given a used IPad. I can't do anything with it cause it is still registered with his apple Id. How do I change it to my apple Id?

You can log out of the currently logged in account by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and you can then log in with your own account. But if there is still any content on the iPad from the previous owner then that will remain tied to the previous owner's account (so only that account can update those apps), so you are probably best off removing all content and starting with it 'as new' : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings.

How do I change the apple id account associated w my ipad?

How do I change the log in for the app store?

If you want to change the primary email address on your account then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and select 'view apple id', and on your account's screen you should be able to edit your primary email address.
If you want to log out of the account then again tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and one of the options on the popup should be 'sign out' - you can then sign in with a different account. Any apps (and other content) that you downloaded via the currently logged in account will remain tied to it, so only that account will be able to download updates to its apps. And if your use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or redownload an account's past purchases then you may tie your iPad to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

How can I change the Apple ID account of my computer ?

My computer was bought by my company (I own the company) for an ex employee. She left. I use it now. I can not install anything from the Apple Store because instead of asking my apple id, it asks the password for her apple id. So I want to change the Apple Id my computer/app store uses.

You will need to delete everything that was bought with her Apple ID and buy it again with your Apple ID.
If the Mac was set up with her Apple ID it would be best to erase the HDD and start over.
It is better to set up company Macs with a company Apple ID rather than allow folks to set up company Macs with their personal Apple ID, especially if they are going to buy content with company funds. Nothing that she bought belongs to the company, even if the company paid for it. It all belongs to her personal consumer Apple ID.

How do I change the Apple ID account on an ipad?

I was given a first generation iPad by my son. I managed to change the iTunes account and generate an Apple ID. However, when going to the applications store or updating the installed software it still asks for his passwork.
How do I get the account for apps updates to use the correct account?

That goes back to what I said in my first response. Unless I am misunderstanding you, those are apps that your son bought with his Apple ID, and you cannot update them with your ID. You have to use his Apple ID and password to update those apps. They will not transfer to your ID. If you sign into your own ID, you should be able to download new apps with it. - Free or paid.
The iOS updates have nothing to do with the ID. If there was an update to the iOS, you would be able to update the iPad no matter which ID you are signed into. The pre installed apps cannot be updated individually. They are updated when the iOS is updated since they are in essence tied to the iOS. They cannot be deleted or re-installed.

HT5622 On my Ipad how can I change the apple/iCloud id to my husbands id but keep the iTunes id as mine

I Am trying to 'give' my iPad to my husband, when I try to change my iCloud id to his by entering his email it tells me this is already in use (he has an Apple id for his iPhone). Another message I had was to use the new email address (his) with the old password (mine). I am confused - I did not have this problem when I gave him my iPhone 4s. (That was iOS 7 the iPad is now updated to iOS 8, if that makes a difference)
thank you

Hi Very Baffled,
Happy Holidays! The article below outlines the recommended steps to take before giving your iPad to your husband. The main point is to backup the iPhone, and then erase all content and settings.
That way, your husband will have a "new" device and when he sets it up with his own Apple ID ... all of his content will be added to the iPad.
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201351
If you still have your iOS device
Before you sell or give away your iOS device, make sure that you've removed all of your personal information. Follow these steps to protect your data and get your device to its factory default state for the new owner:
Back up your device.
Sign out of iCloud:
Tap Settings > iCloud, scroll down, and tap Sign Out. In iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account.
Tap Sign Out again, tap Delete from My iPhone, then enter your password.
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
This will completely erase your device, including any credit or debit cards you added for Apple Pay and any photos, contacts, music, or apps. It will also turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services.
If you're using iOS 7 or later and have Find My iPhone turned on, your Apple ID and password will be required. After you provide your password, the device will be erased and removed from your account so that the next owner can activate it.
Your content won't be deleted from iCloud when you erase your device.
Contact your carrier for guidance on transferring service to the new owner. If you aren't using a SIM-card with your device, you can contact them to get help transferring service to the new owner.
When the new owner turns on the device for the first time, Setup Assistant will guide them through the setup process.
Important: Don't manually delete contacts, calendars, reminders, documents, photo streams, or any other iCloud data while signed in to your iCloud account, or the content will also be deleted from the iCloud servers and all of your devices that are signed in to iCloud.

Back up the information on your iOS device.
Restore your backup from iTunes or iCloud.

If you registered your device with Apple, you can unregister it at My Support Profile.

Hi Marg42,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
First, your husband can create his own Apple ID via the web, computer, or iPad, if he hasn't already:
My Apple ID
https://appleid.apple.com
iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731
Next, he can sign out of the Apple services that are currently using your Apple ID on your old iPad, and sign in with his own.
This article has instructions for doing so for specific Apple services:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
Alternately, he can erase the device and set it up as new using the steps in this article:

How can we change the Apple ID on our iPad to another owner?

How can we change the Apple ID on our iPad to another owner?

Settings->iTunes and App Stores->Apple ID->Sign Out Sign in with another Apple ID.
However all Apps purchased with the previous ID will be forever tied to it and will always require it to update.
So if you plan on changing owners its better to wipe the iPad clean, and let the new owner set it up from scratch.
Settings->General->Reset->Erase All Content and Settings will put the iPad back to the way it was when it was first taken out of the box.

Thank you for responding to my question so promptly! My Apple ID for my iCloud account on my MacBook is the correct (i.e. my @mac.com) email address. Do I need to sign out and then sign back in after I have changed/updated my details on my iPad?
When I look at the 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars' details on my iPad under the heading 'Accounts' it first shows my @me.com account and the items under that account are 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Find My iPad' - when I expand the account details it shows that my iCloud Account is actually my @mac.com email adddress.
The second entry is iCloud which is currently my @gmail.com account. Under this account are 'Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Reminders, PhotoStream, Documents & Data, Backup.
The third account is headed Gmail and is, indeed, my @gmail.com account, too. Under this account it shows 'Mail, Calendars, Notes'.
Am I correct in suspecting that the reason for my having multiple occurrences of both events in Calendars and people in Contacts is because more than one account is syncing Contacts and Calendars?
Thank you for your help
Cheers
Tricia

You can't simply change the details.

My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones. she now has an ipad with a her own apple id. How can we change the apple id on her phoneand not loose any contacts or songs?

My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones (2 phones both are 5s) . She now has an ipad with a her own apple id. How can we change the apple id on her phone so that is the same as the ipad and not loose any contacts or songs?

Did you take a look at the new feature Apple - iOS 8 - Family Sharing ?
Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
Up to now, songs bought from iTunes could only be played by the Apple ID that has been used to buy them.
If you set up Family Sharing, your daughter can also play your songs and use the same contact info as before.
If you don't want to do that, sync the contact info to the address book on your computer, and sync the info back, using iTunes:
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
If the iPad already has her Apple ID and contact info on it, restore the phone from the latest iPad backup.

My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer. For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it. I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud. How do I change the Apple ID (not the password)?

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.

How do you change the apple id on an IPAD if you want to gift it to someone else?

to make it simple on you and the recipient follow this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661
if you just want to change the apple id sign out in settings>icloud, settings>messages>send and recieve, settings>facetime, and settings>itunes and app store. Then sign into all of these locations with new apple id. ONLY PROBLEM WHEN DOING THIS WAY is when apps left on device from your apple id need updated they will require your apple id and password
