I was just given an ipad but don't know how to change the apple ID that is in the machine so I can download my own apps.

I was just given an ipad. How do I remove the current apple id in the apps area so I can put in my own?

You should totally erase the device and start all over again. Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap the old ID and sign out. Sign in with yours. If you are running iOS 6 .... ITunes and App Stores instead of Store.

  • Just got iphone, stupid,but don't know how to pickup voice mails

    Just got new iphone, don't know how to pick up voicemail. 

    ChrisJ4203  said: "Check with your carrier. Voicemail is a carrier function. If you go to the voicemail tab on the phone, it should already be set up, however the carrier may require a passcode."
    Maybe if it's posted twice, you'll be able to read the answer.

  • I can't sign in to my gmail. I was given a verification # but don't know how to use it.

    I put in my username and my password and it is telling me one of those is incorrect. I asked for help and was given a verification # via cellphone but I don't know what to do now.

    I wanted to do that, but I could only see a 'Sign In' option and no option to create an account. I'll look again to make sure, but I would have done that if I could have.

  • I just updated my iPad and don't know how to clear running programs now

    I have just updated my iPad. When I try to delete or stop the programs running I am doing it the way I used to do it before it was updated by double tapping the on/off button. When I do this, it shows the programs I was using on the bottom of the screen. But when I press the icon to look for the minus sign to remove it, it doesn't happen.  iIt just makes that website come up. So, something has changed with the new update but I can't figure it out. Can someone tell me what to do? Thank you.

    Sigh......does no one search to see if anyone else has asked the same question?
    As before, double tap your home button.  You'll see the apps in use on the bottom and a page view of the open version above the app on the bottom.  With your finger, slide the open version of the app upwards towards the top of the iPad and the app will close........

  • I change my ID but don't know how to change on my ipad

    I need help changing my apple id on my ipad

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.

  • I have the new iPad . I don't know how my sister's apple ID was set. I have all under my iTunes account but when i need to update my apps, a different apple ID come up! how do i change that?

    I have the new iPad . I don't know how my sister's apple ID was set. I have all under my iTunes account but when i need to update my apps, a different apple ID come up! how do i change that?

    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.

  • Hi, I tried to download a bunch of my favourite TV episodes.  I was unable to get them all due to lack of storage.  I increased my storage but the downloads didn't come.  I tried deleting the already downloaded and viewed episodes but don't know how.

    Hi, I tried to download a bunch of my favourite TV episodes.  I was unable to get them all due to lack of storage.  I increased my storage but the downloads didn't come.  I tried deleting the already downloaded and viewed episodes but don't know how.
    I'm wondering if I should increase my storage again but I'm not sure that's the issue.

    You need more storage on your iPad, however, it can't be increased. iCloud storage is ecternal to the iPad and is used for backup.
    You need to delete some item on the iPad.

    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.

    Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

    I have a school ipad with iCloud using a different ID (my school email address) . I am leaving and want to buy my own ipad and transfer all my data and docs to my personal iCloud account but don't know how to do this without deleting all data and photos?

    Heya Katie!!
    So, the article you have there, HT4895, is pretty good. Just look at the FAQ section of it.
    But basically, you will want to create a backup on your computer through iTunes...Just plug your current iPad into it and make sure your iPad and iTunes are logged in with the same Apple ID. At that point, just create a backup.
    When you get your new iPad, and before you plug it in or set it up, follow the directions in this link to change your Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621?viewlocale=en_US
    Once you have that done, plug your new iPad into your computer to sync up with iTunes. Follow the directions for Restore from Backup and it should bring all that info back to your new iPad.
    And changing your Apple ID email info will allow you to have your own!!! This should solve all your issues and GL!!!
