Hi tk3750
I found the following information which may be helpful:
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
Changing your Apple ID account
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.
Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account or create a new Apple ID.
Thanks,

I have same question

I have activated iCloud on iPad2 and iPhone4S (both on iOS 7) using the same Apple ID and signed into 'Find my iPhone' still my iphone is not visible in my devices. I can only see my iPad.

On your iPhone, try toggling Find My iPhone off, then back on after a few seconds.

Is Apple still signing 6.1.3 for iphone 4?

Hello,
Something like one month ago i decided to go from 6.0.something to 6.1.3 because my iphone 4 was running too slowly.
At first i thought about restoring but i got lazy, and thought i would just update through itunes, since itunes always tries to make you update.
So i ended up with 6.1.3. My iphone was working a bit better concerning the speed, which i was happy with, however, i saw a huge difference regarding the battery.
Before i could use my phone the whole day, phoning, browsing the net, listening to music, etc etc.... battery wasn't amazing but i definitly could rely on it for the whole day.
I never had any push of any kind, location services were turned off when not needed, brightness manually set to a low percentage, etc...
Since i updated to 6.1.3, and took the time to set up the iphone the same as it was before (i updated and set up as a new iphone), the battery life is a complete nightmare.
Its not about loosing 10% percent capacity or so, the battery is now emptying when not even doing anything.
I tried everything i could find, i'm 99 percent sure this is not a setting issue (spotlight is even turned off...), and even though i don't want to mesure how much of a decrease i'm witnessing, i guarantee the difference is amazing.
I'm thinking this is a deliberate way into making me think i should get a new iphone, which i don't want to.
I used to have an iphone 4 running Ios 4 and working really fast with great battery, never updated, but then something went wrong with its hardware and i HAD to let apple exchange it for a new iphone, which was great but i ended up with an up to date phone (6.something), it was a bit slower, battery was not as good but it was acceptable.
Since i updated it's a disaster.
I think there might be a small chance my update went wrong somewhere, and would like to try and restoring it to 6.1.3, but i don't know if apple is still signing it.... i don't wanna hit restore with the option key, select the 6.1.3 firmware, have my phone emptied and then itunes saying this is not possible, directly forcing me to get ios7.
I also believe i virtually have no chance to downgrade to earlier than 6.1.3, which is a shame, cause it worked so much better back then....and no i'm not interested into jailbreaking, did that years ago with a 3gs and found it uninteristing.
So can i restore to the same firmware through itunes?
If i can and nothing changes, then i'll go with 7, since i don't see how it could be even worse (maybe even slower....)...
And if there is no solution, then maybe i'll find a rope....!
Thank you in advance

No you can't downgrade and it is not supported by Apple, so you either need to live with what you have now and not upgrade again or go for iOS 7 and see what happens.
I have only just updated my phone to iOS 7 this morning and had no problems - did it via iTunes 11.1 and the whole process took about 20 mins with a good fast internet connection. No problems so far and I actually quite like the new look of iOS 7.

I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices.

I updated my Apple Id and password by email and received a confirmation. However my iphone still has the old ID and wont recognize either password. I am unable to access new apps on my phone. How do I get my ID to update on my phone?

Hi Baem_leeds
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you change your Apple ID you will need to sign in with the new information or password the next time you use an Apple service or feature that uses Apple ID. If you have multiple devices that use features and services that require an Apple ID, you will need to sign in again on each device.
The links below will provide additional information:

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.

To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.
If you are changing to a different iCloud account and need to migrate your data to this new account, when you are prompted about what to do with the iCloud data be sure to select Keep On My iPad. Then when you sign into the new account, when prompted choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.

If phone service is disconnected can the iphone still connect to internet through wifi?

If I close my phone account with a particular phone service because I no longer need my personal phone, will my Iphone still work like an ipod in that it can still get to the internet through WIFI? Or general what functions will the piece of equipment still have? For example, will apps still work?

Hey there
you do not net a sim card to use the iphone all you need the sim for is for activation.
I must state you do not need a sim to use your wifi

I had over 200 e-mails. I went to my webmail and deleted most of them. However, my iPhone still shows 200 e-mails. How can I force my iPhone to update from the e-mail server? Or will I have to delete each e-mail from my iPhone as well? Thanks.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account?

I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account i set up my mac?

On your phone, Go to "Settings", "iCloud", scroll to the bottom and "sign out." Assuming you have the the account password/security info of the current account, it will delete everything iCloud related upon your approval (don't worry, everything will remain in the cloud.) Once signed out, in the same settings location (under "Settings", "iCloud") sign in using your Apple ID and Password.
Hope this helps.

Sync ends in iTunes with certain apps, but iPhone still says syncing

[I'm using the 3.0 version of the software, haven't yet upgraded to 3.1]
The other day, while traveling, I hooked my iPhone up to my laptop computer for the first time. (I normally use my home "desktop" PC.) It did a sync which caused about 2/3 of my applications to disappear.
When I got home, I reconnected the iPhone to my main PC, and iTunes said the PC was not authorized, so I authorized it for the second time (and now it says I have authorized 4 computers when I've only authorized 3.)
When trying to sync back the applications I've had in the past to the phone, there are certain applications (including Google Earth, Finger Piano Lite, ETrade Mobile Pro, and a couple of others) which cause the sync to end part way through the installation (and the app does not show up on the phone) and cause the iPhone to no longer be recognized by the iTunes software (the iPhone icon disappears from the column) until I disconnect and reconnect the phone. When the sync ends in iTunes, the iPhone still says "Sync in Progress" even though it's not syncing.
At one point, many of my icons also got a white blank stripe across about the top 1/4 of the icons. I deleted them from the iPhone and resynced and it seemed to get rid of that problem.
When I right-click on the iPhone icon in iTunes and run diagnostics, iTunes crashes completely.
I have tried resetting the iPhone by holding down the two buttons at the same time, but the problem persists even after restarting after that reset.
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
