IMessage is using my old Apple id

I changed my Apple ID and iMessage keeps using my old one. There seems to be no way to change this. I have been unable to text for days now. This is unbelievable I feel like smashing this phone to bits at least it would have some use.

You'll need to go to Settings > App Store and iTunes
Tap on your Apple ID
Sign out
Sign in with the new ID
Once you've completed this, go back into Settings > Message and check the Send and Receive addresses you have checked and only check the address you want to use.
If you completely changed your Apple ID, please note that all Apps downloaded under the previous ID will be forever tied to that ID.
I never understand why anyone completely changed their Apple ID. Changing the Password for the ID is usually all that is required.

How can I use the old Apple TV with new iTunes? It tells me to input a code in iTunes but iTunes no longer has a spot to input this code to allow sync. I can access the iTunes Store fine, just none of my Library

My iPhone 4S appears to be using an old Apple ID. How can I change this to my current one?

My iPhone 4S appears to be using an old Apple ID and keeps asking for my sign in. How can I change this to my current ID -this applied to iCloud only.

Thanks for the response -
Unfortunately - I can not use my Old Apple ID at all - Apple/Itunes is not recognizing it at all. I thought about your last suggestion and the system is not accepting the old ID and password. I believe this is because the old id (email address) is associated to a service (Verizon) that I no long have. When I discontinued service with Verizon, their email address that I used as my Old apple ID become invalid.
I am sure this scenario happens frequently - hopefully Apple can find a better solution in the future.
Thanks,

I recently bought a macbook pro and i made a new apple id. my last macbook had a different id as well and i was wondering if there's a way of transferring all my music from the other laptop to the new one without having to use my old apple id?

Making a new Apple ID was the worst thing you could of done. This is very bad to do. Not sure why people do that. Your Apple ID is Your Apple ID. You only need one and it is best to only have one Apple ID for all apple devices.
Sorry I don't have any suggestions for you.

I want to change my Apple ID because I have a new email address, but what happens when someone tries to facetime me using my old Apple ID?

I want to change my Apple ID because I have a new email address, but what happens when someone tries to facetime me using my old Apple ID? Will they still be able to contact me on facetime using my old Apple ID?

Not if you change the ID. You would need to give them the new address.

Having the email address is not necessary. It is just the username for the device. All you need is that Apple ID and password. Now, if you forgotten the password, then you have more work to do. Since that email is no longer active, you would need to send the reset to your rescue email, if you remember that. Or you will need to contact Apple Security for help.

Hi guys, i would like to ask about the apple id. Which at this time I have been using the new apple id, can I be able to continue updates all the applications that I have purchased by using the old apple id.

Hey guys, I am newbie here ;(.. I have a question regarding my new apple id. at this moment i've still have all the applications that i've been purchased by using my old apple id.
In case there are an update for the applications in my iphone, " Can i use my new apple id to update all the application that i've been purchased with my old apple id ". If its not possible to do, are there any suggestion for me to updates all the applications by using my new apple id ?
Many thanks ;)

Apps must be updated using the Apple ID used to originally download them to the device.
If you cannot or will not use the old Apple ID, then you can delete the app, and then download it again using the current Apple ID. Be aware that any paid apps will have to be purchased again.

Does any one know if I can use my old Apple Lazer 16/1600 printer on My iMac 10.6.8

Does anyone know if I can use my old Apple Laser printer 16/1600 with my iMac 10.6.8. When I switched to 10.6.8 it won't print. Can't find any software upgrades on the Apple support site. The printer does not have USB connection. It's a great printer and works with my G3 Apple computer OS 9.2.
Thanks

If it doesn't have a USB connection or wireless capabilities, then I'm afraid you're out of luck - it needs to be connected somehow so it can react to computer commands.

Hi Baem_leeds
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you change your Apple ID you will need to sign in with the new information or password the next time you use an Apple service or feature that uses Apple ID. If you have multiple devices that use features and services that require an Apple ID, you will need to sign in again on each device.
The links below will provide additional information:

Why I cannot download some apps on my Apple ID ? Because that before I create my new Apple ID , I use my old Apple ID to download instagram but now I use my new Apple ID that cannot download some apps

Why I cannot download some apps on my Apple ID ? Because that before I create my new Apple ID , I use my old Apple ID to download instagram but now I use my new Apple ID that cannot download some apps

What happens when you try to download those apps ? You haven't got an app age restriction set in Settings > General > Restrictions on your iPad ? If you are getting an error message then what does it say ?

Trying to set up iCloud on my iPhone 4. It's trying to use an old Apple ID that I no longer use. It would let me put in my current Apple ID

I am trying to set up iCloud on my iPhone 4. It wants me to use an old Apple ID that I dont use any more. It won't let me change it to my current Apple ID. How can I fix this?

Hi bluegirl26,
Borrowing a step from this account troubleshooting article, here is how you can change the signed in iCloud Apple ID:
iCloud: Account troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3988
Ensure that you are actively logged in to iCloud with your Apple ID on your iOS device, Mac, or PC:
iOS 5 or later:
Tap Settings > iCloud.
Review the iCloud settings to ensure the account is set up properly.
Cheers,

HT204053 I've recently changed my email address and my apple ID but sometimes I'm still prompted to use my old apple ID and password which I don't use anymore. I can't seem to be able to delete my old Apple Id, any suggestions?

Please follow these steps in order to get it working properly again.
Please change your Apple ID back to your old email address (that you used as Apple ID before) here:http://appleid.apple.com
Then go to all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - ("Settings > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway)
After that go back to http://appleid.apple.com sign in again, and now change your Apple ID again to your new email address.
Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.
Now, everything should working properly again.
