HT1766 I have a question. My husband and I both just got new iphones. I had mine plugged into the computer and it did a back up. My husband then plugged his into the computer. I need to use the charger so I removed his and accidently hit "back up as p

I accidently backed up my husband's iphone immediately after mine without selecting "set up as a new device". His phone is now all messed up and is set up just like mine. Is there a way to undue this?

Hello KerriSueotto,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
If your husband had iCloud setup on the phone and was backing up to it, then he could restore from his iCloud backup.
He can check for a backup in the Settings of his iPhone.
iOS device
Tap Settings, and then tap the iCloud icon.
Tap Storage & Backup.
Tap Manage Storage.
From: iCloud: Managing your iCloud storage
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847
Note: He may have to sign into the iCloud section of the iPhone Settings.
If there is a backup listed there, then use this article to restore from that backup.

HT5624 My husband just got an iPhone also, can we have separate iCloud accts? All my contacts and appointments are now on his phone too.

I had the same problem too.
Yes, you can go apply for a new AppleID, which would be <your account>@icloud.com.
Then put this new AppleID into the icloud account field.
After this action, you will not be seeing the same contacts and appointments.
But for the itunes store, you still can use the same AppleID so that you can share purchases.
My wife and I use separate icloud accounts, and then we use a 3rd appleid for our itunes store. This allowed us to have separate contacts but still share itune purchases.

I created my Apple ID in Ireland, but would now like to switch to a German Apple ID, keeping the same email address. How do I delete my old Irish Apple ID, so I can create a new German one with the same email?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes store in the iTunes application on your computer, enter your password and click the "view account" button. Navigate to the Apple ID summary where you have the option to "change country or region".
In order to change your location, you will need a credit card registered to an address in the location you are trying to change to.
You cannot change your location if you have credit on your account, if you are unable to spend your credit and leave a balance of zero, contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support.

HT204053 I have set up a new Icloud ID using a new email address on my I mac however my Iphone Icloud ID is still using an old email address that is no longer in use. How do I change my ICloud ID on my Iphone to that on my IMac computer. I only want 1

How do I change my Icloud ID on my Iphone to match my ICloud ID on my IMac computer? My phone has an old email address that is no longer in use. I have a new email address that I have used as my ICloud ID ( Apple ID ) on my IMac. I want to be able to send photos from my Imac to my Icloud account and see view them with my Iphone. Can you help me ?? Thanks

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
When you do this, you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this happens, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I had to change my Apple ID and password, but now when I try to download anything new it says my Apple ID is disabled. What can I do to fix this?

I had to change my Apple ID and password. Now when I try to download or buy an app it says your Apple ID is disabled. How can I fix this?

If it says "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons", then you will just need to change you password by following these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2446
If it does not says "...for security reasons" you will have to contact the iTunes Store to have your account 'un-disabled' http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
Good Luck.

We reset back to factory settings, we had to try a few email addresses before finding one we could use. Now it is asking to verify one of the email addresses we didn't use. How do we get out of that?

We reset back to factory settings. After a few attempts we found an email we could use to set up as Apple ID. Everything was working great. Now it has pulled up one of the email addresses we tried to use, and is trying to verify, and asking to continue to complete the set up. It gets to a certain page, and stays there, won't let us get out of the page. We shut down the iPad, but it came back to the same thing, when it restarted. What do we do to stop this?

You will need another iOS device or a computer in order to do this, but I assume that's not a problem since you are on this forum.
see if you can change the ID using the instructions here.

Did you try starting all over again to see if you can start from scratch now?

HT1689 I have changed my apple account ID and password, but now cannot get any of my updates to software. What m I missing?

I have changed my Apple ID for both iPad and iPhone and iCloud, but cannot update any programs. What am I missing?

Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap the new ID and sign out. Then sign in with the old ID. You can do the reverse to get back to your new ID.

How do you change your user name associated with the app store on the iphone 3G. When attempting to update, it is using an old email address that has since been changed at the apple site. The problem is that my phone does not seem to recognize this.

I have exausted my ideas, and turn to the forum, prior to paying for something that may be a 2second simple fix. Please help if you can. Let me know if you need more info to understand my dilema.
Thanks.

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You will always be asked for the password associated with this ID when updating apps, regardless of whether or not you are using this ID for current purchases. The only way to stop this is to delete the old apps from your phone and iTunes and repurchase them with your current ID.
Edit: to change the ID used for future purchases on your phone, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the new ID. As explained above, you will still be prompted with the old ID when updating apps purchase with the older ID.

My dad has a LOT of music on his iTunes account. Is there a way I can upload some of his music into my iPhone? Same goes for my fiancé. He just got an iPhone and I have some music on my account. Instead of making double purchases on music can he use mine?

I have an iPhone 5s. Just updated from my 5. My husband just got an iPhone. I purchased music over the last year.
He was told to create his own account we don't get each others messages. But how can he upload music I already purchased?
Also my dads got over a thousand songs on his iTunes account. Is there a way to share? I get the whole stealing music stuff but this is purchased music I'm talking about. He paid for albums of music. Mine are random songs and a few albums.
And last. I have CDs I purchased. How do I put them onto my iTunes account. My dad set it up for me two years ago (3 phones ago) n I'm not
Sure how to do this. My original computer n then my laptop both crashed so I don't have access
To any of it anymore.

Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

TS3899 just got an iphone 5s today, now all of a sudden when I delete an email on my phone, it also deletes it on my home computer? I don't want it to do that - any ideas?

Hi,
Just got an iphone 5S today. Now all of a sudden when I delete an email on my phone, it also deletes it on my home computer - which I don't want happening............any thoughts?
Thanks.

Assuming that Chris is correct, you can set up the account on the phone as a POP3 account. This will allow you to delete mail from the phone without deleting it from the server, but it also means that you will have to delete mail from the phone separately, so you will have to delete mail twice, once from the phone and once from your computer.
If you want to do that see: Forcing creation of a POP or IMAP email account

I just got an iPhone 5s, and I restored from a previous back up and now I can't restore the phone without "turning off the find my iphone setting"?

I just got an iPhone 5s, and I restored from a previous back up (mistake) and now I can't restore the phone to start again without "turning off the find my iphone setting" but it's using an old email address as the icloud login, which i don't have a password to / never used for an icloud account. I have gone and changed my settings to a different email on my icloud / apple ID but on my phone it won't let me change the email address for icloud, it's greyed over and keeps trying to verify?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Hi. So i had an iphone 4s. The phone was completely destroyed it was cracked, water damged, and now lost. I had about 1500 pictures on there. I just got an iphone 4 today and synced my icloud to find that no pictures loaded. Talked to apple and they want $250 and it's not guaranteed. So please help me find my pics and how i can pleasssee get them back. Very important pictures with a lot of memories. The pics were all on my camera roll of the 4s!!please help!!!

If you ever backed it up while these photos were on it, restoring another iOS device to the backup should recover them. If the backup was done with iTunes rather than iCloud, you may also be able to extract the photos from the backup on your computer by using 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor (http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/).

My husband just got an iphone. I've had mine for a while. We use the same email address so I though we could use the same apple id and password. But now it appears everything on my phone also shows up on his phone and vis versa, even "Notes." Not good.
