My phone was used, I want to change the Apple ID to download apps

Well my friend had sold me his iPhone. And I am wondering how to change his Apple ID from the app store to mine!

The best thing to do is Settings>General>Resets>Erase All Content and Settings.
That will wipe the phone entirely and take it back to the same state it would have been in had you bought it new and just taken it out of the box.
The previous owner does not have the legal right to pass on any downloaded apps or music to you anyway, and I doubt you would want their contacts, calendars, etc.

Welcome to the Apple Community Rozie.
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")

All apps that you have purchased or downloaded are tied to the apple id/email that you use to buy it. That's why it is showing your old email when you are trying to update the app.

I want to change the apple ID associated with my iPhone

For many years my Apple ID was associated with my work email address. I recently retired and want to change the Apple ID associated with my phone to my personal ID (which I use with my iPad, home PC, etc.). However, I have forgotten the old password associated with my old ID, and since I no longer have access to my previous email account, I can not request a change of password email as it will be sent to my old email account which no longer exists. How can I delete the old ID and install the personal ID ?

HT1689 i want to change the apple id on my ipad

I want to change the Apple ID associated with this Ipad, how do i do it ?

You can change everything, but it will be frusturating at first. I got my open-box iPad from sams club and it was still associated with some one elses Apple ID.
Go into Settings ----> App store ----> Apple ID
It should change alot. But then you have to change Mail, FaceTime, Messages, Etc.
You could just erase all settings and data and that would give you a much cleaner resualt.

If I want to change my Apple ID will my apps from the previous Apple ID get deleted?

No, it will just ask you for the password to your old Apple ID to update the apps in the future. Unless your talking about simply changing the email address associated with your Apple ID account.

How do I change the age restriction on downloading apps on my apple I'd?

Hi Aaron Lytle,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you were setting up Family Sharing, but did not get to enter the correct birth date for your child's Apple ID. As mentioned below, a child's birth date cannot be changed once entered, and you'll need to create a new account with the correct birthday.
Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
Enter your child's birthday and click Next. The birthday for a child's account can't be changed after the account is created.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

I have a new Apple ID account. I want to change the Apple ID that my phone automatically uses. I can't figure out how to do it. The account ID area is grayed out and not editable.

Need to change the Apple ID programmed into my iPhone

The simplest way to change the ID is to go to Settings > App Store
Tap your Apple ID. Sign in with the current ID, then sign out
Now, sign in with the new ID
Please be advised however that all apps purchased under the previous ID will forever be tied to that ID. This means you will either want to re-download the free apps you had under the old ID and re-buy the apps you purchased, or you will need to sign out every time there is an update on apps you have and sign in under the old ID to update those apps.

HT204053 I want to change the Apple ID on my iPad

When I first received my iPad as a gift I'd never had an Apple before so I used my hotmail account. Now I want to use the same Apple ID I use on my iPhone but there doesn't seem to be a way to change the Apple ID on my iPad. Can someone explain how to do this?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPad, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
