IPhone still asks for old account info although account updated on sustem

hi. i updated my 3GS to OS4. at the same time, i chaned my account info. now i can log in to app store on pc but not on iphone. sign in page on iphone still has old email address. anyone with similar experieince or advice on how to fix? thx in advance.

I just thought of something. I plugged it into my iMac and synced some songs over to it from my iTunes. Is there a chance that is why the apps ask for my iTunes account information? But his iTunes account is still in the iTunes Store in settings, I'm so confused.

If you have an existing ID, & you don't want to use a credit card, you'll have to redeem an iTunes gift card. If you don't want to do that, you'll have to create a new ID by following the directions here, EXACTLY:

IIf you are trying to activate a phone and it is asking for a previous users Apple ID and password you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature to prevent lost or stolen iPhones from being activated By an unauthorized individual.

I redeemed a gift card, but I cannot make in app purchases on my iphone. My account balance is $36.94 and I want to make an in app purchase for $0.99. Why is it still asking for credit card info and not letting me purchase?

I just want to purchase the next level of Candy Crush Saga, haha. Please help!

If you were instructed to call them, then that's what you should do. They will probably need to verify your identity before helping you with the security question.

I have an iPad 2, I recently did a reset recovery mode I had an iCloud account I no longer have it. It still asks for the account. All I want is to reset it to factory settings like when you first purchase one and add a new iCloud account. PLEASE HELP!

I no longer know the password to the old iCloud account or email.
It asks to turn off Find My iPad, I also don't know that passcode. Yes, I know I need to keep track of things.
I JUST WANT TO RESET IT LIKE IF I HAD JUST PURCHASED IT WITHOUT IT REQUIRING AN OLD PASSCODE/PASSWORD/APPLE ID.
HELPPPP!

FileVault asking for old account password when upgraded to Mountain Lion

This is not good.
I recently updgraded to Mountain Lion.
After the upgrade process, my account log in no longer was accepted by FileVault. (FileVault Legacy)
The system is stating that:
" Your user accont password is different fomr your FileVault Password
This can occur if your user account password was changed recently. To update your FileVault password and continue loggin gin, enter your old user account password"
Yet, the last time I changed my password was perhaps over 1 year ago, certainly not recently, and defenitely after many OS upgrades?
How can this happen??
Now I can not access any files (Am I expected to remember a password from 1year+ ago?) ... Major Fail.
Anyone having the same issue or a tip to get out of this crazy loop?

Repair your permissions, go to applications then utilities, then disk utility. On the left hand side click on mac HD, then click repair disk permissions. Restart your computer and test again once permissions repair is complete.

App Store is asking for different account info

I have an iPod Touch, 3rd gen (technically 2nd gen, I guess?) 8 GB.
My brother and I have both of our iPods synced to one computer, but with different iTunes accounts.
When I try to download certain apps, it shows my brother's email address, and asks for his password. When I submit his information, it asks me to update my billing information, saying "Your account has been accessed from a new computer or device, and you must verify your payment info before you can make purchases".
It brings me to a screen to update my billing info, and my brother's information is already filled in.
I have tried syncing my iPod to iTunes, making sure I was logged in to the iTunes store with my account. It is still asking for different account info. This is also happening with certain apps on my brother's iPod.
Any ideas? Thanks.

The diffrent apps "know" from which account you purchased them.
So you have got apps from your account and from your brothers account on your device.
I've got a simliar use. One account for the german appstore and another for the us store.

TS4020 Online change in Apple ID password as forgot old password. On my mac keeps asking me for old password. Although new password works through iCloud

Made online change of Apple ID password as forgot previous one. Change not reflected on my Mac. System preference on my Mac still asks for old password in order to set up new one. However, new Apple ID password works through Icloud. Have tried signing out of Icloud and then signing back in, in the hope for ID sync with Mac but Mac system pref still asks for old password in order to set up the new. Any advice??

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

I had the icloud account changed on the iPad (have added new ID and deleted old one). However when updating/downloading , it still asks for password to the previous account...?

I’m giving my ipad to my sister and I had the icloud account changed. I have added new ID and deleted the old one. However when updating and downloading apps, it still asks for password to the previous account. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks very much!

Maybe you should set it up as new device again:

Apps are tied to the Apple ID they were bought with and can not be shared with other devices that have a different Apple ID.

You cannot change your Apple ID. You can get a new one if you want, but all of your Apps and media are linked to yoru old Apple ID. And no, Apple won't transfer your old ID purchases to yoru new ID.

HT5312 I set up an icloud on an old email address that I can't access anymore. So I created a new account as I couldn't remember the security question answers for the old account. My iphone links to the old account. How do I change it to the new one?

When I set up the icloud I was using my then email address. My email address has now changed.
I tried to access under the old email address to change it to a new email address but I couldn't remember the security questions and as I can't access the old email address, I can't change it. So to solve the problem I set up a new account under the new email address. The only problem is my iphone is still asking for the old email address password which doesn't work.
How do I connect my iphone to the new account as it wont let me delete the old account on the iphone without the password (which as mentioned above doesn't work)?

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.
