IMessage won't let me change Apple ID

My husband and I were sharing one Apple ID across two iPhone 4 and his iPad, but ocassionally we would get cross-wired text messages via iMessage. Some one would message him and it would show up on my iPhone instead.
We researched the solution and were told to create a unique Apple ID for my phone and add it to the iMessage.
PROBLEM: When we logged out of his Apple ID on the my iPhone for iMessage and tried using the new Apple ID we created it never seems to get past the login in screen.
Under Messages | Settings | Receive At |
When we select "Use Your Apple ID for iMessage" it comes back with a screen that says Enter Apple ID and a message that says "You were signed out of iMessage because your Apple ID or Password Changed. Sign in to turn on iMessage"
When I enter the new Apple ID we created  it briefly goes to the next screen to confirm what email address you want it use, before it flips back the Enter Apple ID screen. We can't get past this screen.
Any ideas?

also, i was wondering, while setting up my iphone after the upgrade to ios 6, in one of teh steps when i started using the phone, it asked for teh apple ID password to do soemthing related to icloud, imessenger and facetime. it also gave the option on the phone screen to "skip this step" which i did, i skiped the stem and thought if i wanted to i can go back and do it manually from the settings any time. i think it was something related to downloading new features for the icloud. i messenger and facetime.
could this have been the case? but i mean if i had the option to "skip the step" it means that it is not something drastic and can always be done manually later.
anyone has feedback?

    i believe you may have to retrieve your password
    enter the email address attached to your username profile and retrieve your id through that route
    then sign in

  • My iMessage won't let me change/add my phone number to send iMessages, only sends from iCloud email??

    my imessage shows my old phone # and my iCloud email to send messages but my old # is blocked out so I can't delete or choose it , only lets me use my icloud for iMessages and it's driving me nuts!!

    Hi Tyeisha1,
    This article has some information about using your phone number with iMessage:
    iOS: Using Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529
    You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from:. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
    iMessage responses will be sent from the address the recipient most recently messaged. For example, a friend sends you a message to your Apple ID. Responses in this conversation will be sent from your Apple ID, even if you've selected new conversations to start from your phone number.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

  • IMessage and Facetime won't let me change apple id

    Read through similar postings but can't find a solution.  When I try to change the apple id for both facetime and messaging i can get past the "sign in" screen, which takes me to the next page which verfies the email address.  But before I can click "next" it reverts to the "sign in" page.  This happens in both Messaging and Facetime.  I use the same apple id for iCloud on this device - no issues.  I've also tested this apple id on other devices and have had no problems.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    - When you go to Settings>Time%Date is it set to Automatic?

  • Won't let me change Apple ID

    I Am trying to change my email address for my Apple ID but it will not let me . I need to change the email ASAP.

    This could be the page you are looking for...
    Why do you need to change it?
    Are you in fact on interpol's most wanted list and you forgot when you registered your new iPhone?
    Have you got the same name as someone famous and now you're receiving spam from online stalkers who think you're the real [email protected]?
    I hope it all works out well for you, whatever the reason.

    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.

    I not so recently changed my email adress I associated with my Apple ID and my iCloud ID. My old email still shows up for iCloud, and won't let me change it to my new email. When I try to delete it and replace it with the proper email, it wants my password, which it won't accept because it's an invalid username.

    I had this same issue and got it resolved very simply when I contacted Apple SUpport

    On your iPhone...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account...  Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
