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

Re-Downloading Paid Apps for Free only works if using the SAME Apple ID that made the Original Purchase.

    Thanks for your reply. Having read through relevant topics it suggests that if I sync my iphone with the correct account on my pc it should use that one thereafter. i will try both.

  • How to sign into icloud account on iphone when icloud is showing the wrong email address?

    i can sign into my icloud account on pc and i can sign into my apple account on pc and phone, but i cannot sign into icloud on my iphone. icloud is showing the wrong email address on phone only and i don't see where to change it to the correct address.

    Not sure what it is you did. If you have your contacts saved in iCloud (you can check them by signing into your Apple/iCloud account at iCloud.com - check the Contacts there), then changing your Apple ID will have no effect on your iCloud content. Also, when you Sign Out of the iCloud account on your device, you are given the option to keep the Contacts on that device. If you select "Keep", then when you sign back on with the updated Apple/iCloud ID, it will ask you if you want to merge the contacts on your device with your iCloud account. If you select "Merge", then it merges them.
    Also, what the instructions above are having you do is change the Apple ID that the iCloud account is linked to. It is the same Apple account, you are just changing the ID itself. The iCloud account associated with that ID is not changing or being affected in any way. If you created a new Apple ID, then that is the problem. A new ID would be linked to a new/different iCloud account.
    However, either way, if you keep your contacts and then merge them even if you set up a separate ID altogether (which is not what the instructions are telling you to do), your contacts would be intact.

  • I accidentally in put the wrong email address when attempting to register with iCloud. As such, I can't verify the account with that email address because it does not exist. What should I do?

    I accidentally input the wrong email address when attempting to register with iCloud. Therefore, I can't verify the account because the email address that I accidentally used does not exist. Can someone help me figure a way out of this because there does not appear to be a way to edit the email address?

  • HT1296 My email address has changed. I have successfully amended it on my computer in Apple iTunes but my iphone 4s and my iPad still show the old email address when requesting the password and will not let me update Apps. Please can anyone advise me what

    My email provider has changed and I have a new one.
    I amended this on my computer under my Apple iTunes account without any difficulty and it was authenticated. However, I still have the original email appearing on my iphone 4s and ipad2 and I cannot update that information. Neither can I use my usual password to update my Apps.  Please can anyone assist me with simple instructions on how to change these important passwords?  Thankyou in anticipation for reading and hopefully considering a solution.

    Thank you, this has resolved both the iphone and ipad problem immediately.  I am concerned that I may have a problem with apps that I bought under my old  AppleID as they will not be recognised.  Any suggestions for this please?

  • I have registered the wrong email address how do I change it

    I Have registered the wrong email address when setting up my iTunes how do I change it

    You should be able to change the email address on the account by logging into the account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes, or by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging in

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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")
    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.

  • HT5622 I changed my Apple password and I get the information at the wrong email address.  The correct email shows in my Apple account.  Why is the mail going to the wrong email? How do I fix it?

    I changed my Apple password and I get the information back at the wrong email address.  My email address is right under my Apple ID.  How do I get this corrected?

    Okay so I associate the e-mail address as the apple ID and that seems to be a wrong assumption.  I did go to my Apple ID and changes the e-mail address and the password but for the same and only Apple account I have ...
    That is good.  In that case, your one and only account has not changed, just the login credentials you use for it.  All your previous purchases will remain associated with that account, and the new login.
    In essence, an AppleID is an email, but it has two parts.  One is the login email address and password everyone traditionally thinks of as an AppleID.  But that in turn is linked to an account with Apple.  As long as you use the manage Apple ID portal to just change the email address and/or password for your exisiting AppleID, then the internal account tracks along with those changes as well.
    However, on your iOS devices, you will need to log out and then log back in with the new login credentials:
    settings -> iTunes & App Stores - tap your AppleID, and choose log out.  Then log back in with the new email address and new password.

  • HT4061 I have an iphone 4 and cannot access my email account-it was set up with the wrong email address. How do I resolve this issue?

    i have an i phone 4 and it has been set up with the wrong email address. How can I rest the email address?

    Did you purchase or download the apps with your old ID?  Apps are tied to the ID that is was purchased from.
    If it is a new app you bought with your new ID, you can go into settings - appstore- apple id and then log out.

  • I set iCloud up but I have given the wrong email address how do I change it to the correct one?

    I set up iCloud when I got my iPhone 4S but I have just realised I have given the wrong email address how can I change it I put .co.uk and it's .com

    Go to appleid.apple.com, click Manage Your Apple ID, sign into your iCloud account (using the wrong email address), it should prompt you to verify it and allow you to edit your email there. If not, then it will bring you to a screen that will show you your name, your email, and any alternate emails you have. Click the edit button next to "Primary Email Address and Apple ID" and change it to your email.

  • I accidentally created an iCloud account using the wrong email address for my username - I already have an iCloud account with a different email address username. Is there any way I can merge these accounts?

    I just upgraded my MacBook from OS X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion so that I could stream from my other devices (iPhone and iPad) to my MacBook.  After making it through the upgrade process, I realized that I used the wrong email address for my iCloud username when starting up on the MacBook.  My iPhone, iPad, and iTunes are under my Hotmail email address and I accidently used my Gmail email address for the MacBook.  Is there any way I can merge these two icloud accounts together? I tried changing my account information to add the other email address, but wasn't allowed because another account was using the name (duh).  If I can't merge them, how could I change the MacBook from the Gmail address to the Hotmail address so that all my devices are on the same icloud account?  It'd be nice if I could keep the free 5GB of storage that comes with my purchase of the software, but I'd rather lose the storage than not be able to stream.

    To change accounts on your Mac, go to System Preferences, sign out of the current account, then sign into the new account.  When you sign out of the current account it will delete synced data from your Mac.  Assuming your data (such as contacts, calendars, etc.) is in the other iCloud account, it will be synced to your Mac when you sign into this account.
