IMessages wants to use old email

After upgrading to my iPhone 4S from my iPhone 4, I sold it to my friend about 2 months ago. He has been using iMessages but now all of a sudden iMessages turned off and when we try to turn it on it's asking me for my password becuase my email pops up to sign in. How can we solve this so that he can use his email address? And also I checked in settings> Store and I made sure that he is logged in with his Apple. I.D.

Restore factory settings - will wipe out everything.

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help suiting the old apple I'd because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

You cannot do that. The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address. The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well). You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

Cannot get into iPad, it keeps wanting me to sign in using old email that does not exist, and for a password that she does not remember, so I am unable to change password. How do I get around this?

With iOS 7 Activation lock you can't.

Hello farahani hairon nizar,
If your Apple ID was changed from your old account, you may have to change it back to your old account to be able to sign out and then change it back after that is done. Take a look at the article below for more information.

I am trying to change my email address for an Apple ID and it is saying that it is already in use. I then sign in with that Apple ID and it says that the account is not set up yet, I don't want to set up the account, but I do want to use the email address

Welcome to the Apple community.
Once you have created a rescue address, you cannot delete it, nor can you change it to the same address as used by your ID. There are numerous providers you can get additional email addresses from, such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Google etc etc.

HT5622 When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

Yes, but be sure she is on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID before deleting anything. Be sure there is nothing that you want to keep on your device too. When you delete the data from iCloud it will be deleted from all devices signed into the account. Then you can delete the data from the existing account by doing the following:
To delete the contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
For Calendars, open the calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
If you also want to delete your iCloud backups you can go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on your device, tap the name of your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.

I want to take old emails from one user account to another. Can't access 'net with old user account.

My computer was infected some time back, and the only way I could use most programs was to set up a new user account. Now I want to retrieve some old emails and move them to my new account, but can't seem to make it happen. F/fox opens under old a/c, but can't access 'net so I can't forward them. I tried putting them into a folder, putting it on a USB drive and dragging that into 'fox in my new a/c, but it won't open. I am using Win XP.

I have my husband Iphone and an Ipad on one account. I have my own phone on another account. I want to move the Ipad from my husbands account to my account so I can purchase him an Ipad2 and I can use the old one with all the settings and apps as they are now and then update with my contact information.
How do I do this?
He will run into a problem when he wants to use his own account. Some apps will have been purchased on one Apple ID and other apps will have been purchased on a different Apple ID. That's a nuisance situation when the apps need updating and, unfortunately, there is no resolution at the present time (IDs can not be combined).

Apple ID using old Email address

I seem to have acquired two Apple IDs and I know I am unable to merge them. The trouble is that the one I use regularly now has an old Email address tied to it and I am unable to edit that address.
How can I change the Email address tied to the ID I use. If I try to enter my current Email address in the profile it tells me there is another ID with that address, but I don't remember the details, ID or password, with that address.

If the address you want to use has ever been associated with an Apple ID in any way then you won't be able to use it (even if you identifty the ID and know the password): you will have to use another non-Apple address which has never been associated with an Apple ID.

ICloud still using old email after changing it to new?

Last week I changed my email, and changed all of the necessary emails in my Apple ID account. However, when asked to sign onto iCloud, it's still asking for a password to my old email. How to I change my old email to new for my iCloud?
Other useful information: My Apple ID is my NEW email address. Everything is my new email. I'm assuming my iCloud Apple ID email is different if it's still asking for my password for my old account?

Yes it is possible to use migration assistant from an old mac to a new one to transfer user info although I would not recommend doing that. If it is at all possible I would recommend you do a fresh install on the new computer and move over only things you need (such as iTunes, iPhoto, whatever). Doing this will be a lot better because you will not also be moving the junk from your previous account that you don't want cluttering up the new one.
What migration assistant does is copy the data from one computer onto another. Nothing is being removed from the old mac, it is just being copied.

ITunes using old email address

A few days back I received several warnings onscreen that my me.com security had been compromised. Rather than click on any links, I waited and later accessed my account. I changed the password but I keep getting warnings that my account has been disabled and my account has been locked and to visit iForgot to reset my password. I've done that THREE times now and my iPad STILL uses an old email address to sign in instead of the me.com address and I can't update anything. Same with my iPhone. Anyone else having these problems?
I DID check the statement for the credit card I use for the account and there were indeed 3 transactions I didn't recognize.
How do I at least change the old email address iTunes is using? Throughout my time with this iPad, and sometimes on the Mac, iTunes used my regular email addie to get into iTunes. Now it still uses it but doesn't recognize it. *FacePalm*
Anybody??

Sign off her browswer session and click on "Forgot password click for assistance" link. Because you remember the emaiil address you used to register you can now just reset your password. When you say "don't want to loose the music I had" where are those tunes?

New iPhone - want to use old one as Touch

Just picked up the 4 today, now I want to use the iPhone 3G as a Touch. Can I have the same apps on the "3G Touch" as well as the iPhone 4 from the same iTunes account? Or does the "3G Touch" need its own iTunes account and order the apps all over again?
Thanks

I did the same thing. Just use a different name for the old phone. I changed mine to itouch as a name.
I also took out the sim card.
It syncs all apps, music, books, etc just as it always did. The only difference is that it can't make or receive phone calls.
My granddaughter calls it her itouch since I have a lot of games on it especially for her.

Have updated email add now passwords don't work and old email is still displayed so created new apple ID and password ,now app store still using old email /password .wat to do now

Have updated apple I D and password
Now appstores still using old apple Id and password
Cannot update or download apps
Created new apple I d and password and now still iTunes using old id and old password doesn't work
Bbaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

Hi Mofomon,
If you want to use the new/updated AppleID and password, you need to sign out of the App Store, sign out of iTunes, etc. and then sign back on with the new ID and password.
To sign out of the App Store on your iPad, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, then click on your old AppleID, click on View Account, and sign in with your old password that goes with that ID. Then click on Sign Out. Once you have the old ID signed out, you can sign back on with the new ID and Password.
New purchases will be done with that ID, but if you actually set up a totally separate brand new ID from your old one (as opposed to simply changing it) then any past purchases will still be linked to that old ID, and will require the old password for updating.
If you simply changed your existing AppleID, then the new password will be what is needed for updating.
Cheers,
GB

Want to use old 600 software with 700wx

My old treo 600 just died and I bought a 700wx to replace it. Got it up and going today, but I HATE the calendar/scheduler on the 700. I have to sync my calendar at work with Outlook, and that's what I want to use...any ideas how I can dump some of this software and go back? (Frankly I don't like how the 700 presents any of my programs/options. I liked the setup of the 600 far better.
Kim
Post relates to: Treo 700wx (Telus Mobility)

Okay, so I need it in simple terms (I know what I like, but don't necessarily know much about the hardware or software). You're saying I can download a different windows app? If I load this Styletap I could use it instead of what I have on there (I don't need to separate it, I am fine getting rid of the OS on there now, playing with the programs and layouts last night convinced me I don't like much about anything on there, I'd be happy to revert back). Sorry if I am misunderstanding, and I appreciate the help/advice.

Mail is using old email address

Hello all,
Years ago I had email contacts with (let us say)
John Doe from Apple
Now, each time I want to send an email to « anybody » at Apple , mail uses the name John Doe/Apple.
So a few months ago, I took away John Doe AND apple from my address book.
But when I like to drop a line to Apple, the JohnDoe/apple address appears again and again.
Even if I modify the address in « mail to : »
How should I erase -for ever- that John Doe « associated » to Apple ?
Thanks. Have a nice day.
Richard

BINGO !
btw : have you ever calculate the number of kilograms of operation manuals we have to digest ? ;-))
btw : from time to time, I visit a friend in Chiang Dao (North West) and we go down the Mekong to Luang Phrabang :-)
Thanks ! Richard
