My new apple ID isn't updating on my iPhone

I recently canceled an old eamil accountm which was attached to my Apple ID name. I have changed to a new Apple ID using a different email and username. My MacBook and iTunes are now using the new ID, but I can't seem to get my iPhone to update to the new ID as well. Help!

Sorry, the first sentence was meant to say ' I've been using my Apple ID for 2 years now and my computer is authorised for it' ......

    No. The problem is that when you changed Apple IDs you did not update your Apple ID to reflect the change, so your phone is still associated with the old ID. You will need to un-associate it. The process is the same as what you would do if you sold the phone. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661

  • I have a new email address and updated it with my apple id/icloud and updated on my iPhone, but i'm getting a pop up to enter my password with my old email address listed for iCloud/Apple id.

    I have a new email address and updated my apple id/icloud  with the new address. I updated on my iPhone, but i'm keep getting a pop up to enter my password with my old email address listed for iCloud/Apple id.  How do I get it to go away?

    Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
    Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

  • Apple ID for app updates does not match new Apple ID cannot get updates

    Can someone tell me how to get the Apple ID for app updates to match new changed Apple ID?
    I can get new apps with new ID but not updates....old ID shows up and will not accept password.

    Your advice is to change my Apple ID again?
    No I gave you a link to try to get a new password to work with the old Apple ID.
    And are you saying that I will not be able to access any updates for apps that were acquired under the original Apple ID and password?
    I am saying that the only way to update apps acquired with the old Apple ID is with the old Apple ID. You cannot update them with a new Apple ID.

  • New Apple ID Won't Update on iPhone 4

    I recently had to create a new Apple ID because my old one, which I forgot the password to, represented an old email address I no longer have access to.  So I created the new Apple ID.  I can access my accounts via that new Apple ID on my MacBook Pro, but my iPhone 4 continues to show the old Apple ID.  How do I update my iPhone 4 with the new Apple ID I created?

    Oops, not sure how this post showed up in the iPod touch section.  Anyway, over a year without access, but when I recently upgraded the OS, I had to use a password to get back into all my apps and I was dead in the water.  Well your advice worked.  Thank you!

  • I have iTunes on my laptop but it is registered to an apple id for an ipod which I have not used/owned for years.  How do I add my new apple id which I use on my iPhone to my iTunes on my laptop?

    I recently purchased two songs which refuse to download on my iPhone 4s.  Other songs from the same albums downloaded just fine.  In an attempt to recover these songs I opened iTunes on my laptop which I have not used since I sold my ipod years ago.  The iTunes on my computer is associated with an old Apple ID that was connected to my iPod.  How do I get my new Apple ID synced with the iTunes on my laptop?

    Hello Leanna,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing.  You can sign into iTunes with your Apple ID using these steps:
    Use your Apple ID with the iTunes Store
    Open the latest version of iTunes.
    Choose Store > Sign In.
    Enter your Apple ID and password and click Sign In.
    Click Review when asked to review your information.
    Enter your billing information.
    Click Continue after you enter your credit card and billing information. You can remove or edit your credit card information at any time. Learn more about updating your iTunes Store account information.

    You will also need to authorize your computer to play purchases with this Apple ID:
    Open iTunes
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

    With the latest version of iTunes on Windows, the menu bars are hidden, so you may need to enable them to get to the Store menu.  You can follow these steps to enable the menu bars:
    To keep the iTunes menus active, change the setting by selecting the Menu icon in the upper-left, and then selecting Show Menu Bar. Alternatively, you can press Control-B.

  • Are apple going to stop updates for the iPhone 3GS

    I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if apple are going to stop the updates for the iPhone 3GS and will the apps always work with this iPhone?

    At some point in time it's inevitable that the iPhone 3Gs will reach end of life and will no longer be capable of handling updates to iOS, just like the 3G and original iPhone before it.
    When is not known, but eventually, it's a near certainty. Just like you can't get updates for older Android phones that no longer meet the minimum requirements for the new versions, or factory original parts for your 1968 Dodge Dart.

  • I have a new Apple ID and have updated it in iTunes. However it still says the old ID in settings under iCloud. It will not let me change it and prompts me to enter my password for the old ID. I put in the old Password but it doesn't work.

    I changed my Apple ID and it is not changing on my ipad. I did change it in iTunes but I can't change it or delete or update in settings under iCloud. It prompts for the password to the old id I put that in and it tells me that's not correct. I put the new password in and it tells me that's not correct. HELP!

    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.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 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.

  • New apple ID email not updating on laptop

    Hi,
    I changed my apple ID email on apple.com but my computer isn't recognizing the new email. When I go into the settings and hit "update apple ID email" it asks for my old email's password which doesn't work because it doesn't exist anymore. How can I fix this? I am unable to update anything on my computer because of this problem.
    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 iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, 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 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.

  • I have an iPod Touch (4th generation) and I am not able to get the new Apple iOS 5 software update...

    Hello all,
    I need some assistance with downloading the new iOS 5 software for my iPod touch 4th generation (32GB). Once connected, my iTunes says that a newer version is available and when I click on "update," the standard boxes appear and when i click on "download and update," it appears to download just as expected, but after a few minutes, an error box pops up and says that my "network connection timed out" and to "try again later"...
    I have tried to get around this in every which way possible, but the same error box pops up each time. I have checked AND double checked my network and its connections and I am 100 percent sure they are stable. I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes (10.5). I even re-installed it, just in case. I have also tried clicking the "download only" option instead of "download and update"... No different.
    In previous discussions, I have inferred that having my media on an external hard drive may cause some issues...? If this is the case, please note that all my media is on an external hard drive that connects to my computer via USB.
    I am looking for any and all advice to help resolve this issue as the my warrenty has expired and I do not want to pay for Apple Support. : ) plus, iOS 5 looks so cool and I really really want it!!!!
    Please Help!!
    Sincerely,
    Deanna

    I disabled all my computer's firewalls and sure enough, IT WORKED!! My iPod is updated and just now finishing restoring! Thank you SOOOO SOOO much. : D

  • New apple id ends access to itunes on iphone

    iphone 4 iOS 7.1.2
    How can i get my itunes library back on my iphone? i had to change my apple id - not my email address - just the apple id. its my same account  same name same address same credit card number, i just changed the id from my email address to a name, and updated the password. its still the same email address associated with the account from the ver beginning. i thought i got everything taken care of by updating the info in my iphone settings. its updated so i can post on these discussion groups, buy stuff on the app store and so i thought i was good to go. so i go to itunes on my iPhone and it is empty - no content. i learn that i must update my info on the icloud settings separately. icloud insists i use an email address, not my apple id. it doesn't want my apple id. it says it must be an email address. so i type in the email address associated with the account - but icloud doesn't recognize the new password associated with the account. it only recognizes my old password that went with my old apple id. so now i am stuck. i can't listen to anything in my itunes library on my iphone, but i can buy stuff all day long with my apple id on the app store or the itunes store from the same phone - but it doesn't recognize my itunes library in icloud - stuff i paid for with that very same account.
    answers i have seen to similar questions on this topic don't seem to be relevant to my problem
    thank you

    where? in the manage my apple id settings: appleid.apple.com
    this situation is confusing, at least to me it is.
    i started out in 2007 creating an apple id when i got my first mac book. my apple id was my name. i used it to do everything from posting inquiries to this discussion forum to making purchases from the itunes store. a few years later all of a sudden i was required to use my email address instead of my official apple id when i made purchases from the itunes store and later the app store. i was no longer using my official "apple id" which was my name, all that was ever asked for was my email address - as though all of a sudden it was my apple id.
    last week i tried to log on to this discussion group for the first time in several years. i couldn't log in. i was trying to log in using my email address since that's all apple wants me to use anymore instead of the name i created as my apple id. it didn't work for logging into this group. i found out through customer support (on the phone) that i had to use the apple id that was my name - the original one (although i never actually changed anything, i had never bothered using the "name" since itunes stared requiring the use of an email address instead. since it worked with the same password t i wasn't sure why i ever needed to have created the apple id in the first place)
    customer support then advised that i make sure that my email address is associated with the apple id that is my name and that the email isn't used for any other accounts. its not. i logged into manage my apple id and made sure it was listed as the name i created way back in 2007 (which is what customer support verified is still the apple id i had associated with my email address). the only thing i updated was my billing address for my credit card. ever since then itunes on my iphone has no content.
    what must i change/update in order to access my library that was on there yesterday?
    i don't doubt this is confusing to anyone reading this. - i guess my only other question is, why did apple let me create an apple id that worked fine and then all of a sudden decide it must be an email address and then just last week tell me i need to use the name again? i thought the point of apple id was to use ONE NAME. if its just my email address then why don't they call it that instead?

  • I created a new Apple ID, but can't access iTunes

    I created a new Apple ID, but can't access iTunes, it doesn't recognize my ID

    Creating a new Apple ID isn't the way to fix that problem. All that will do is create a new Apple ID with no record of your previous purchase history or anything else related to iCloud.

  • HT204053 Old Apple ID used with new iPhone OS, how to sync and use new Apple ID?

    My iCloud account on my iPhone is my old Apple ID. My MacBookPro and iTunes are with the new Apple ID. I updated my iPhone with the new operating system and my iCloud account was with my old Apple ID and wouldn't accept the Apple ID or password so I had to skip the step where it synced my FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud. How can I change my Apple ID on my phone so it reflects my Apple ID on all my other devices?

    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")
