My iPhone is stolen, do I need to change my Apple ID?

My iPhone was stolen a few days ago and I was wondering if I need to change my Apple ID. Who would like to help me?

I would change any passwords for any email accounts setup on the device. Apple ID passwords are not saved with the exception of iCloud. If you have your icloud account setup on the device and the Find My iPhone isn't working then the device may have already been restored or at the very least turned off. Generally it's a safe thing to reset any passwords for any accounts you had setup on the iPhone when a device is lost or stolen.

I only have the iPhone box and I realy need to get it back please
Please help me

Sorry for your loss but, If you didn't setup Find My iPhone BEFORE you lost your iDevice then there is no way to track it.
Change all the passwords for the accounts you were accessing on it and report the loss to your local police.
Good luck.

My Bank uses the serial number of the Iphone 5S to generate your passwords, and my Iphone was stolen. I need to inform the Bank the serial number for disable the old Iphone and enable my new Iphone.

U should call ATT&T and tell them that ur iPhone was stolen and u need to cancel or block your stolen iPhone account so they cannot use it and transfer the same number to a new iPhone ( or other phone)..

Need to change my apple id on my iphone, need to change my apple id on my iphone

need to change my apple id on my iphone, the old one keeps coming up and I can't access my applications

For iTunes: Settings>iTunes/App Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...then sign back in with the ID you want to use.
For iCloud: Settings>iCloud...scroll down...Delete Account. Then, setup with the ID you want to use.
Turn off iMessage & FaceTime first.

If you didn't already do so, authorize your computer for the new ID by opening iTunes and going to Store>Authorize This Computer. Then sync your phone with iTunes.

I just got iPhone 5 and I need to change the Apple ID to the id I have on my iPad so they sync

I need to change my Apple ID on new phone to make it sync with my iPad. How can I change iPhone 5 and then sync with my iPad so I can get my games and music from iPad

If the gifter set up the iPhone with their Apple ID for the iTunes and App Store, the option should be there.
That is where an existing Apple ID is signed out and a new or different Apple ID is signed in.

I need to change the apple id on my computer to correspond with my iphone and iPad

I need to change the apple id on my computer to correspond with apple id on my ipad and iphone. How do I do this?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First of all, log out of your old Apple ID on iTunes. Open iTunes and go to Store menu (on the menu bar) > Deauthorize this Computer. Then, go to Store menu > Sign Out, and sign in with your new Apple ID.
After that, open the Mac App Store, and go to Store menu (on the menu bar) > Sign Out. Sign in with your new Apple ID.
Finally, open System Preferences > iCloud, and choose Sign Out. To keep your information, unmark every service manually before. Then, log in with your new Apple ID.
With this, you will have changed your Apple ID on the Mac. You may want to register the iMac with your new Apple ID, so open http://supportprofile.apple.com, log in with your Apple ID and register your Mac. You may have to unregister it from your old Apple ID

I lost my iPad and need to change my apple ID.

Hi Everyone
Please help before I hit my new mac with a sledge hammer!!
I recently lost my ipad and need to change my apple ID. When I go to the ID page it gives me the option of changing any of my details except my ID which does not have an edit button next to it. How can I change the ID itself and would I lose access to my existing apps if I did change it? I have spent hours signing out of every feature on both my mac and iphone but how can i do this from my now lost ipad and would it make any difference if i could? I am very confused and frustrated with all the apple jargon on the help pages and support communities. Please can somebody help by talking english to me??

Why do you want to change the ID? If it's because you've lost your iPad just change the password so that the person now in posession of it can't get into your iCloud account.
If you really want to change the address which forms the ID you can do this at http://appleid.apple.com provided that it isn't an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address - if it's one of those that would explain why you don't have an 'edit' button and you can't change it.
It you were able to change the ID that won't affect your access to apps since the account itself remains the same, though of course the login has to be changed on every device signed into iCloud or iTunes.
If you are going to change either the ID or the password you must turn of 'Find My iPhone' on any device it is enabled on or you will find yourself in difficulties.

I have changed my e-mail address and therefore need to change my apple ID. When I change it to my new address it says it is already my rescue address and cannot be used. Any ideas how to change my rescue address?

To change the iCloud ID ("email address") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, 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 should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going 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 iDevice 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 iDevice 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.

HT4436 I need to change my Apple ID ON MY I-Phone to a new E-Mail address. what do I do??

I need to Change my Apple ID on my I-Phone 4 to a new E-Mail Address, What can I do to Change it.

If you have done so already, you first need to change it with Apple at the website my Apple ID.
(Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account)
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.
