Hi Jamjoint,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
It sounds like your Apple ID is used for both the iTunes & App Stores and iCloud. If you edited that Apple ID before signing out of the iCloud on your devices, it may be necessary to edit the Apple ID back to the original email account so that you can sign out of iCloud. Once signed out, you can edit the Apple ID back to the new email account and sign back in. Please use the attached article for further information.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

Why is it asking for my moms Apple ID password when I try to update my apps?

When I download an app it asks for my Apple ID password, completely normal right? However when I go to update my apps it for some reason asks for my moms Apple ID password instead of mine, so why is this, how can I fix it?

Looks like one or more of the apps on your device were downloaded using your moms ID. You need to figure out which one, and delete it and DL it under your ID, otherwise you'll need to sign in with her ID.

New to Mac and am asking for help with Safari issue.

I have a Mac book Pro and recently upgraded to 'Lion'. I am having an issue with Safari hiding the area to type in a web address, it seems to hide this feature. It also seems to hide the green, Amber (minimize buttin), and Red (close) icons. I need to know how to reset Safari to its oringinal layout. My 'Guest account is fine and have no idea why the settings have changed in my user account. I was told new software for Safari was available and so attempted to download it, which caused the mac to freeze. I rebooted but this software will still not download without freezing up. If anyone has anyway of walking me through this I would be incredibly gratefull.

In Safari it has no 'Show toolbard" A friend of mine already suggested that. It doesnt have that option. I know that sounds odd. In the guest user I have that option but on my account I dont. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer. Do you have any other ideas on what this might be? When you go up to the top and the arrown 'rolls' over the top on the tool bar the address tab drops down, how to i make its stayopen in this posision?

Bought new iPad Air, but it keeps asking for my old Apple ID to complete the synch process

I've just purchased an iPad Air. I had changed my Apple ID some time ago. I've updated my old iPad 2 with the new Apple ID and deleted the old Apple ID from the iCloud function. Now that I'm trying to synch the two, the iPad Air first asks me for my iCloud Sign In and that seems to work with the new Apple ID, but then in the next screen, after the ToCs, it asks me to choose a back up. I choose today's backup. The problem comes in the next screen when it says Enter the Apple ID password for [old Apple ID] to use for store purchases. What do I do? Is there somewhere that I've missed signing off the old Apple ID? Please help. Thank you!

Well, as it turns out, there's no need to delete your old Apps. Unfortunately, i did that, but accidentally left one or two with the old ID. What happens is that you just Skip the step. It then tells you that some things couldn't be restored. I've now restored it to yesterday's backup and there's not much that's not there - there are some PDF docs missing that I had sent to kindle app and that's annoying. And yes agree that one shouldn't even bother changing Apple ID ever!! What a hassle!
Wish I had know that before.
Thanks all!

I have family sharing set up, but the request asks for my daughters Apple ID password

i have family share set up and separate accounts for my daughter and son. When she requests an app she puts her password in fine and it sends an ask to buy to me- which pings through but when I click on it it shows her Apple id and asks for her pw. (as opposed to my Apple id and pw which is set up as family organiser) even when I put her pw in it does nothing just clears and requests her pw again! Very frustrating and might as well not have it on.

Hi
I would try this since Apple TV is built to allow multiple Apple Ids
On you Apple TV
General > Settings >Itunes Store > Add New Account (put yours in here)
Then Switch account to your Apple Id
Cheers

How can I remove a previously used Apple ID from my iPhone? My phone is saying to update apps but asks for the other Apple ID password

I signed in on my phone with my wife's Apple ID and downloaded an app then signed out of hers. I signed back in with mine and now, my phone remembers I did that obviously because it says I have apps that need to be updated and when I chose to update them, the phone asks for her password tho it's signed in under my Apple ID.

There may be several that were bought with your Apple ID. but somewhere in the updates there must be one associated with that other ID.
You can update one by one, until you find the one that requires the other Apple ID.

My iphone 4 is asking for the wrong apple id password.. How can i change this?

I have two apple ids. One was made by mistake and now everytime i want to download an app it ask for that apple id that i do not use. How can i make it ask for the one i do use?? help please!

Go to Settings _ Store _ Press the Apple ID button on the bottom.
Log out, and then log back in on the other account.
If you purchased any app on the old account, then it will ask for that password when you update the app.

New Ipad Air first setup is asking for my itune email and password.

When I press restore from icloud, it shows me my old email adress that is not working. I have to press ''skip''. I went to itune and icloud account and they all show my new email address. How can I fix this?

Welcome to the Apple community.
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, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Trying to set up a new macbook air and it is asking for a keychain password

I am trying to set up a new Macbook Air and it is asking for a keychain password. Where do I find one?

There was an option to Cancel the pop up box which I have now done and it has carried on with the set up - so not sure what it was all about.
I am going to the Genius Bar tomorrow so will ask the question!
Thanks for your help Linc.

If it is asking for an APlle ID password for an ID you do not recognize then you have stumbled upon the Activation Lock feature of IOS7.

HT4906 I want to download the new updates I think to the 10.9 but our mac was given to us and when it comes to the last page it asks for the user name and password but this mac was wiped clean. How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto?

I want to download the new updates I think to the 10.9 but our mac was given to us and when it comes to the last page it asks for the user name and password but this mac was wiped clean. How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto? To be honest I'm not even sure what type of Mac I have and don't know how to find out what kind it is
I'd also like to make address labels and don't know where to find that either

You would make address lables with the Contacts app.
If you don't have the user name and password used to set up the machine then you need to purchase the apps for yourself.

My Mac Mail constantly asks for our passwords before opening our accounts. New iMac with OSX Maverick

My Mac Mail constantly asks for our passwords before opening our accounts. New iMac with OS x Maverick. We get messages such as " Mail can't connect. Appears to be offline due to network problems." or "The connection to the server (null) in port ) timed out." I have confirmed server connections OK with Cox Communication and our Cox Webmail accounts.

Hi Bob13524,
Man, that definitely sounds frustrating! And it sounds like this issue is occurring with several accounts, so let’s see if we can troubleshoot this. The following resource provides some great information for troubleshooting Mail issues, including information on using the Connection Doctor:
