Iphone, itune/apple ID account

If my iphone is on another persons wireless account, do I have to use their itune/apple ID account also. Every time I try and log on to itunes on the phone it will not allow me to access my account but, brings up the wireless account holders apple ID information. Any suggestion would be very helpful.
Thank you

tap "settings / store" - here you can delete their Apple ID, which is what connects to their iTunes account, then enter in yours.

You've encountered iCloud Activation Lock. Contact you friend and have him follow the directions here:

I have two seperate iTunes apple id accounts. Is there a way to merge them together and only have 1 account?

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

How can you get the unknown previous owners on iPhone 5 Apple ID account be removed old device from Find iPhone ?

No, you first use common sense then you put it in a company IT policy document. So you are saying that you cannot create an Apple ID for each individual, because it is a hassle? So I guess it is also a hassle to create company email accounts because there are many people "coming and going"?
Have the IT department create an Apple ID for each user with a "temporary" password. Then the user can change it. Once the emplyee leaves, he turns in his phone and gives the password to IT so they can deactivate his Activation lock and reset the phone. Or do what razmee209 has suggested.
I guess the above might be a problem in your company where it is apparent that people are getting run over by buses all of the time and dying every hour.

Why was I charged just to set up an Itunes/Apple ID account? I didn't buy anything and nothing shows in purchases

I don't mind giving my card details when setting up an account, but I have been charged £1.98 GBP apparently for nothing. When I discovered this charge today, I went to the purchases log but there is nothing there.
IMO charging just for setting up an account is a scam of the first order. Shame on you Apple! Perhaps you are now going to charge me just for logging into Itunes. This does NOT encourage me to buy any of your products in the future

Surely it would become obvious if I tried to buy something if I had put incorrect details into the card info. It isn't necessary at all to take this 'test' purchase.
Now look at it like this. Apple grab a tiny amount off every new user every week. Do you suppose that money just sits in their bank accounts? No of course not, they will be using those additonal funds for investment to increase their fatcat company earnings while we have to accept what is basically lending them money with no interest.
Why should we have to go through the hassle of watching our card accounts and possibly having to go to their support for money that should never have been taken. I As I am in the UK, it counts as a foreign payment on my card and I have to pay an extra fee for that which Apple will doubtless not be returning, so I will be out of pocket.
There is nothing you can say to justify this and yes, I will be writing to Apple to complain, not to mention getting on to consumer organisations in the UK.
Thank you for your input, but it is Apple who should be answering this question.

Merge .me and iTunes apple ID accounts. Has Apple got its act together enough to enable this yet in 2014?

Originally had iTunes account and purchased music from iTunes store for several years. Then started using .me mail and iCloud and had to get new account for some obscure reason. Wondered whether Apple has managed to sort this out so that the two accounts/IDs can be merged in a way that no data or purchased items are lost from either account. Seems to me that for a big company which purports to be so customer satisfaction conscious this would be a priority issue to fix. Of course maybe that reflects a degree of business naiveté on my behalf.

No, you still can't merge accounts, nor can you transfer content between accounts.

About changing iTunes/Apple ID Accounts country without losing old app,songs,movies and TV shows bought from iTunes store.

this question is for Apple Inc,
i will like to know if i can change my account country? Can i still access my purchased items such music,apps,movies,or software from iTunes store?

You cannot carry the money from one country account to another. But content you have downloaded to your device remains on the device, updating things like apps will require that you return to the country store where the download originated.
The stores operate as separate entities, but content you have does not leave or get deleted.

Itunes Apple ID account help.

I changed my apple ID username and password from previous account and now I cannot play music purchased under previous account username/password.
Please help.

Such codes are given away as promotion etc - no idea where to get such a promotional code in your country.
Ask someone to gift you a single song instead.

I originally hooked my iphone to my cousins itunes/apple account and now want to hook to mine. But it says set up as new phone, if i choose this will everything on my phone be erased?

I originally hooked my iphone to my cousins itunes/apple account (on my computer). I did so because my computer wouldn't register with itunes (some software problem) so I couldn't hook it up. I've now fixed my computer and want to hook my iphone to my itunes/apple account however when I do it asks me to choose a new phone or restore from backup. Well it was never hooked up to this account so I need to choose new phone, if i do will everything on my phone be erased?

Hello there, pullmyhairout.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great guidance for backing up your iOS device to your computer:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iCloud or iTunes
Back up
To back up the content on your iOS device to iTunes on your computer:
Make sure your computer has the latest version of iTunes.
Connect your iOS device to your computer.
Choose File > Devices > Back up.
If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device and choose Backup Now.
You can also back up by syncing your iOS device with your computer. When you use iTunes to sync, backing up is the first step.
To check that the backup finished successfully, open iTunes Preferences and select the Devices tab. You'll see the name of the device along with the date and time iTunes created the backup.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Is the iPhone connected to iTunes - available under Devices in the iTunes source list?

2 iPhones, 2 Apple IDs, 2 iTune accounts. With all this how do we sit up two iClould accounts? Web site won't let me download a 2nd version of iCloud to create a second account.

With 2 iPhones, 2 Apple IDs and 2 iTune accounts, how do we get separate iCloud accounts? I have mine set up and working fine. When I go in to download another version of iCloud, it acts like I need a repair and will not allow me to download a second version. Can this be done? Will all our photos now go into one Photo Stream folder?
Thanks. Susan

We have two windows accounts and it worked fine that way, when you log into the other account and go to the iCloud control panel, log in with the second apple ID there. Then you have two separate photo stream folders.

Multiple Apple id account apps on one itunes help

My family uses one computers' itunes for buying apps. Everyone in my family has their own Apple id account. Everyones iPhone is also backed up and has transfered their apps to the computer. Everyone in my family plays the game Tiny Tower. And their iPhones are most used on this computer other than another computer.
I want to update my iPhone to ios 5 from ios 4. I have backed up and transfered all my bought apps from my iPhone. I don't want to lose my saved Tiny Tower game data. Would I be able to get Tiny Tower back onto my iPhone after I update my iPhone to ios 5 with the exact same game data that I had on it before I updated to ios 5? Or would I have to restart Tiny Tower from the beginning.
Sorry if this is not the right forum for this topic.

As long as the app itself is on the computer's iTunes and you make sure that the iPhone is backed up (right-click, or Control-click if on a Mac, the iOS device in iTunes under Devices and choose Back Up) before you start the update process, then your apps and and their content should be copied back to the iPhone by the update process.
Before you start the update you should also make sure that all purchases (films, tv shows, music as well as apps) have been copied over to the computer via File > Transfer Purchases, and you should copy off any important documents, files, notes etc (e.g. by email, the file sharing section at the bottom of the Apps tab in iTunes, wifi, whatever the apps that you use support) - the update process should backup and restore the content but it's best to be safe.

TS3988 Help - How do I manage to remove an IOS device, in this case an IPhone 4S, from my Apple ID account? I want to use this account only for my IPAD

Hi,
I have managed to initially set up our two IOS devices - my wifes IPhone 4S and my IPAD 2 - in a not so smart way.
I used the same Apple ID account for both devices.
As such it worked, however after a few days we decided to have two different Apple ID accounts, one for each device.
I made a new Apple ID account for my wifes Iphone, and kept the old account for my IPAD.
This is as well working now with both these accounts, however I have found out that my wifes IPhone is still registered under my account.
This I will like to have rectified and cleared, i.e. I want my wife's phone cleared from my Apple ID account, so that my Apple ID account only contain information related to my IPAD 2.
My wife's Apple ID account for her IPhone 4S works fine and we do not need to change anything for this account.
However, how can I clear/edit my own account, so that it only contain information about my IPAD?
For example, when I use the Apps "Find My Iphone" I can see that the system is trying to locate both my IPAD and my wife's IPhone 4S, when I have logged on with my Apple ID account no. This show that one way or the other both devices are registered under my Apple ID account.
I will appreciate some assistance to tell how to rectify this matter,
Regards,
Morten

How iTunes works managing multiple iPhones and iTunes with same account

My wife and I each have our own computers using the same iTunes and Amazon account. I want to know how the download rules work...
For apps
For music
For books
I know that Kindle books appear on both.
I know that you can share music between 5 (?) different devices. Can't remember how that is done right now...
It appears that an app bought on one computer or iPhone must be paid for again on the other. True?
Where is the best place on the Apple site to see answers to these types of questions?

Your iTunes account can be authorised on up to 5 computers at any one time (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420). You can also use home sharing so as to share your content between computers or to listen/watch content on your iOS devices : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 (you can also copy music between computers via home sharing)
As long as you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy/download them then you don't have to pay to re-download (or download on different computers/devices) past purchases of apps or ibooks (or music if you are in the USA) as long as they are still available in the store : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
You can also manually copy music/apps/ibooks/films/tv shows between computers and then do File > Add File To Library (or Add Fold) in iTunes so as to add them.
