My phone has a different Apple ID then we use now. How can I change that?

My Iphone 4 has a different Apple ID then we currently use now. We had to change our Apple ID awhile back. In order to use Icloud I need to change my Apple ID to the current one we are using but my phone wont let me change it from the old Apple ID. Can someone tell me how to change this? Thank You!

Settings->iTunes and Apps Store->Apple ID->Sign Out
Then sign in with new AppleID
Settings->iCloud->Delete Account
Then sign in with new AppleID

Please help! My iPad mini has two different apple ids. My Apple ID in the general settings part and my family's id in the App Store. I need to fix it so that it's just one Apple ID and one password.

HT5163 my original Apple Id Email was hacked. How can i change my Iphone apple Id ? ive changed it on my pc and my ipad but cannot do it on the phone (iphone 4)

My original apple id email was hacked. how can i change my apple id for my iphone 4. im able to change it for the pc and my ipad but cannot chonge it for the phone

I had the same problem last month.
The only fix was to call Apple Support. Basically, the history of the account could be followed and the hacker had changed the email address and no doubt the password of my apple id. The account also showed purchases in £ so I suspect the associated country been changed as well? Apple support blocked his associated credit card, restored the account back to a date where I had last used it and we then changed the Apple ID to a new email address. I could have used the old Apple ID, effectively regaining control of it, but I wasn't attached to it and it enhanced security by changing it.
Scared myself last night as my daughetrs iphone had been associated with the old ID and she couldn't access the icloud acocunt. I'd manged to restore her iphone, although it was asking for the passowrd of the hacked Apple ID, I used the password for the 'new' ID (just the old one with a changed email) and it worked. Even after restoring the iphone, I still had to change my 'new' apple id back to the 'old' email so she could sign out of the 'old' icloud account on her phone after the restore and disable 'find my iphone'. Only then could she add her own personal icloud account and I changed my apple id back to the new email. Confused?
Point is, you will need apple support to regain control of your apple id. If you're not attched to it and want a new or modified apple id, make sure you sign out of all assoicted devices first!

The aps store has an old email address as part of my apple I'd.. How can I change that?

I have changed my apple I'd on my desktop, but cant get it changed on my ipad2 when I'm in iTunes or the aps store.
It shows my old email address as the first part of my apple I'd. How can I change that?

Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID and sign out, then sign in with the correct account. If that doesn't work, sign out of the account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

A different apple id appearing when i try to install updates, how can i change that apple id?

a different apple id apearing when i try to install updates, how can i change that apple id?

That's the ID that was used for the purchase. ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them. Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password. Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.

I don't remember my old Apple ID and I closed my email account that I was using for my old Apple ID. Now, how can I change my icloud id on my Ipad. The old icloud id is still on my Ipad.

ChrisJ4203,
Thank you for the help. Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID. I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone. In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one. My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID. Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

When i add a new contact to my phone, their details are saved in my contact list, but the name doesn't show up when they ring or txt me, how can i change that?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

I'm trying to redeem my OS X Mountain Loin and every time i punch the code in it tells me that that code has been used so how can i fix that ?

how can i change that because Apple sent me the code

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
If you received that message the first time that you used the code then contact Apple directly for a new code. This is a known issue with these codes. Otherwise, you can only use the code once. After that, if the code worked, Mt Lion should appear in the Purchases pane with a download button.

When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?

When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?
When I purchase ITunes music, and it is a song from a Greatest Hits album, the Year of the song shows the year the CD was released and not the year the song was released (i.e. a song may be from 1986, but the Greatest Hits album was released in 1999, so my songs in ITunes show 1999). So, I go into each of those songs and change it to the year that I want to be displayed. As long as I don't exit out of ITunes, it will show the year that I changed it to (i.e. the 1986 year in this case). But if I exit out of ITunes and then return to ITunes, the year reverts back to 1999. The same happens if I change the genre of a song from, say 'Pop' to 'Alternative', it will revert back the next time I log in.
Oddly enough, as soon as I right-click on that song to change it back, the year/genre that I had entered returns.
How can I make it so my changes are permanently displayed as I want them? This is pretty annoying when I try to find a song on my Ipod under a certain genre, but it doesn't appear in that genre because the incorrect information gets synched to the Ipod.

Make sure that these two options in Edit > Preferences > Store are turned off:
Then exit iTunes and open it up again. Your metadata entries should then be persistent - with these options checked iTunes will be comparing what you have with the information held in the iTunes Store, and will overwrite with the latter for Store purchases (and if you have iTunes Match). If you have any iOS devices you should also turn off Show All Music under Settings > Music.

I want to change my e mail adress, but it says that this e mail adress is used for rescuing mails and cannot be use as apple id. How can I change that?

When I want to change my e mail adress, the follow sentence arise:
This email adress is designated as your rescue email adress and cannot be used as your apple ID.
I had another mail adress, but from today, I have just this one so it's necessary that this mail adress can be my apple ID.
How can I change that this mail adress is my rescue email adress?

You can edit your rescue e-mail address to whatever other email rescue address you can use or just get rid of it altogether at ... My Apple ID
Do this first. Then you can edit your main e-mail address and change it to the one you want to use.

You should do this to make this your iPhone and remove her info...
If desired, move photos/videos off the Camera Roll: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
If desired, backup the device to iTunes or iCloud: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Then, on the device...
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Off
Settings > FaceTime > Off
Settings > iCloud > (scroll down) Delete Accout (this only unregisters and deletes it off the device)
Settings > iTunes & App stores. Tap the AppleID and sign out.
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
Unregister the device at https://supportprofile.apple.com

We have 2 iphones, the ipad autosync'd up to the phone we did not want to use. How do we change that?

itunes accounts are not the same as icloud accounts. It's okay to use the same ID for the itunes account on different devices owned by different users. That way you share purchased items. But for icloud, each user should have their own account if they want their own data, otherwise data is shared among all users.
