Help! My new iPad Air was set up using my parents apple ID and iTunes account. How do i change it to my own ID and iTunes so that it is recognized as the main device?

The App Store on my iPad2 is using the wrong apple ID-how do I change it?

I can't update any apps on my iPad2 because the store keeps asking for my password on an appleID that is no longer valid. It was my old comcast email, which I cancelled, and even though I've tried signing out of store, and signing back in with the correct appleID...it still asks for the old comcast one! My iPhone 4 app store works just fine though. Anyone have ideas of how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Open Appstore app, go to "Highlights", scroll down and select "Log in" (or "Sign on", have only german iOS). Then log in with your current ID.

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 have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

I asked firefox to remeber a password for a website and it's the wrong password. How do I change it?

I asked Firefox to remember a password for a website and it's the wrong password. How do I change it?

The left side of the address bar contains a button you can click to get information about that site. The button usually has a little mini-icon for the site and (if it's an encrypted site) the site's name. When you are on the site in question, click that button then click the "More Information" button on the dialog that appears. Alternatively, you can use the Tools menu and click "Page Info". Once you do that (either way) click the "Security" tab at the top and you will be able to click a button to view saved passwords for that site. Delete the incorrect password from that list. You can then log off the site and log back on to have Firefox offer to remember the new password.

Wrong Apple ID: How do I change the Apple ID prompt when Updating All Apps?

How can I change the (wrong) Apple ID from the password prompting dialogue when I am already signed in Apple Store with my own ID?
More details of my problem:
When I try the Apps' Update-All option in my iPod 4, the password dialogue prompts me with my girlfriend's Apple ID; YET, I AM signed in the Apple Store with MY own Apple ID.
I have already verified my ID under Settings/Store. I have also signed out, signing back in with my Apple ID, just in case. No problems there, for I DO sign in with my own ID ok. The problem is just the prompt dialogue for password, when I try to use the 'Update All' feature it prompts me for password with her ID, not mine.
If I go back to Apps and choose the Categories (or Top25) menu, at the bottom of the page, it shows me signed in (my Apple ID). If I try to update one Apps it will do ok. But if I try to Update All it will prompt me for password using her ID, waiting for me to type in HER password. I cannot change the Apple ID on that dialogue (static). If I use my password, it will return the "wrong password" dialogue.
How can I change the prompt for the Update All? What is going on here that I AM signed in but my iPod prompts me with her ID. My iPod is registered under my Apple ID. I have already tried the Hard reset by pressing Home and Power buttons simultaneously, to no avail. I am also using my own network to go Online. I am also with the latest OS in my iPod and my Mac's iTunes.
Thank you!
PS This problem is not occurring in my iPhone 4 (same account) nor my Macs.

Does not work for me. (My iPhone is not jailbroken.)
I downloaded a paid app "Imray Marine Rules and Signals v1.5" in the USA with my original account (Account1) then moved countries and needed to create a new Apple account (Account2). If I get 'Info' for the app, it is registered to Account1.
A new version 1.6 of the Imray app has now been released.
I have set up only Account1 on the iphone (settings - App Store) and both Account1 and Account2 in iTunes on my computer. My iphone always tells me there is 1 app to update. However, when I try to update this app on my iphone, I get asked for the password for Account2, then the download fails as it says I do not have a paid earlier version to update.
When I am logged into my computer iTunes as Account1 and try to update it on the computer iTunes, it says there are no apps to update (although my version of the app is definitely the old version).
When I search for the app in iTune Store, it tells me I have already downloaded version 1.6 of the app and the download button is grayed out.
If I temporarily delete the app from my iTunes then try to re-download, I am asked to purchase it again.
If I log into iTunes as Account2 then try to download it, I am asked to purchase it.
Any ideas? I feel I have tried every option and no success.

Do you have a backup on another computer?
You'll have to restore.

HT2204 I have 3 iphones and all use the same apple ID,how do I change this so each phone has its own id,do i restore the phones to factory settings first??as im having problems with contacts being added to and deleted from each phone.

I have 3 Iphone 4S and all have the same apple ID which is causing problems as far as contacts are concerned,when i sync 1 of the phones to my comp the contacts appear on all the phones.How do i create a new ID for each of the phones do I have to reset the phones to factory settings first,any help would be appreciated.:)

Hello marie196,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You do not necessarily need to restore the device to factory settings, but rather sign out of the four services that utilize your Apple ID: iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and iTunes & App Stores. Once signed out, you can sign in with a new Apple ID. For more information, see the following article:

Additional Information: You may encounter an error regarding a 90-day limit. For information on this, see the following article:
