New Apple ID help

I have a Apple ID but I just bought a iPad for daughter. When I try to set up a new Apple ID for her I get all the way through the set up process and hit submit. It say sorry can't connect to iTunes. Can someone help?

Hi Jdelay77,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly where in the set up process this is occurring. If it is giving you an error that it cannot connect to the iTunes Store, you may find this article helpful:

  • New Apple user help re: emac g4 and OSX

    I have always wanted and Apple Mac, but never had the time nor the money to consider until now. Well, at least I have the time - I purchased via ebay an emac G4 1.25MHz, 1Gig memory, 150 Gbyte hard drive, DVD combo etc. It came with OSX 10.5.8 installed along with ILife 08.
    But no install or restore disks. I did not think that would be a problem until I started to browse this discussion group.
    So - I can't afford retail version of OSX 10.5 and iworks/ilife (which I'd like).
    My question is - can I install an earlier version of OSX - say 10.2 or 10.3, then buy the upgrade disks to 10.5 (which are much cheaper than the retail version)?

    You don't need to erase the hard drive to instal a previous version of Mac OS X. Just do a clean instal/archive and instal.
    Apple don't offer "upgrade" routes for the OS. You can upgrade for free via built in "Software Update" within the version you are running - ie 10.4 through to 10.4.11 - but there's no cheap option to go from 10.4 to 10.5.
    At this point there is no real concern... only if you start to experience problems. (Sure, legally, you should have the disk, if you are using the software. In reality, people sell Macs with no disks, but software installed, and Apple are NOT going to come banging on your door like Microsoft because you're running their OS without the disk. There are no encryption keys for Mac OS. If Apple happily include their OS on all newly purchased Macs, it's hardly fair for them to say you can't use the OS on a 2nd hand machine.
    That said - sure, if your system gets corrupted, you'll need an instal disk... as noted, you need a black labelled disk - UNIVERSAL INSTAL - or, an eMac 1.25GHz grey labelled disk. Thing is, from memory, the grey disks just say "eMac"... so if you buy one off eBay, it may not be the right one for your machine. So yes, a black label is best...
    Because Leopard (10.5) is the last OS to run on these older PPC Macs, it still can be a bit pricey. But look on eBay etc and you may get a bargain.

  • Apps from old icloud account won't work with new apple id-Help

    I restored a number of ipads from an icloud backup, to include both bookmarks and Ipad apps to my team
    I then logged out of both the itunes and icloud accounts associated with these apps, and gave the ipads out to team members.
    They each made their own Apple ids to the personalise their accounts.
    However now some of them are having the problem that the original apps we installed on the first account don't work.
    Is this likely this will be a problem for them all? or is it a just a case of those affected having to do a reinstall.
    Thanks

  • I need to update my Apple ID to reflect my new e-mail address, but seem to have created a whole new Apple ID instead. Please help!

    Hi- not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I'm hoping to merge my two Apple ID's, or at least get rid of the new one that isn't linked to either of my devices. I seem to have my old Apple ID, that is linked to my Iphone 4 and Mac Book Pro, Itunes etc. And my NEW Apple ID, with the correct e-mail address, that isn't linked to anything. I have tried to change my Apple ID by managing my account, but it won't let me change the e-mail address as the correct address is already being used. Please help, anyone!
    Thank you,
    Julie.

    Hi Julie, I have the same issue (except to complicate matters even further the .me address I'd like to keep is an alias) and have spent over an hour on the 'Express Support' chat tonight; where I've been told that to date Apple will not merge two accounts and if you choose to delete one account, that .me address/ID will never be available again ... I did ask if this was something Apple were looking at changing, but was told:
    "Once an @me.com email address is created once it is used forever. To create an account you would have to use an email address that would have never been used before. I wish there was a way for us to do that, however there is not. The only way to free up an @me.com email address would be if we recycled accounts and we currently are not doing that."
    Crystal, the support technician, then went on to state:
    "When you remove an alias from an account that permanently deletes it and makes it unable to be used again on that account it was deleted from or on another account."
    followed (after my attempts at suggesting various work-arounds) by:
    "Merging of Apple IDs is something that we are unable to do. There are a series of Apple Discussion Boards stating this as other customers discuss not be able to merge their IDs also. If you click on Frequently asked questions at this link, it also states that we cannot merge IDs: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895"
    Bless Crystal, she really did try to help, but this looks like an option we'll just have to wait for! Hope this makes sense ...

  • I changed my apple ID email address and now all my devices are signed in under the old apple ID, but it wont let me change the icould account on any without a password. The problem is my new password for the new apple ID won't work or the old? help!!!!

    Help me!! I changed my email address associated with apple Id. Now ALLLLL my devices (iphone, mac, ipad) are associated with old apple Id. But It won't log out or delete the old one without having a password. Neither the old passowrd or the new password works. Now nothign works. Please help me!!

    Hello Alexandra,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iCloud on your devices after updating your Apple ID.  I recommend the following steps:
    Symptoms
    iOS 7 may ask for the password to your previous Apple ID when you sign out of iCloud.
    Resolution
    1. Use your current Apple ID password
    Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
    2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
    If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
    If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
    3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, 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 and try to sign out.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.

  • Apple tech helped me 60 min ago. Told me to create new account for wife. Wiped out her ipod music--now iTunes wont let me download it in her new account so I can restore her music!  Help!!

    Today an Apple tech helped me 60 min ago. Although my wife and I have diff apple ID's, our music was mixing and syncin back and forth.  The tech told me to create new comp user account for wife which I did. I wiped out everything on her ipod and signed in under her ID.  When I tried to put it back I got a message that I couldn't download her purchased music for 90 days because there was another apple ID associated with my computer.  Not sure wether that means mine or hers.  What I am sure of is that I'm dead if I can't get her music back.  Please help.  Thanks,  Craig

    I can understand how that would be frustrating. If you created a brand new Apple ID for her, your Apple ID should not have been affected any more than anyone else's. They are as separate from one another as your Apple ID is from mine.
    Since you just bought your MacBook Air, you can certainly contact AppleCare for this, and I encourage you to do so. They will straighten it out.
    Until then, if you want to troubleshoot this on your own, sign in to your Apple ID here:
    https://appleid.apple.com/
    Click the blue "Manage your Apple ID" button. If it says it no longer exists or gives you other hassles, it's probably not worth your effort to pursue. Have Apple fix it.
    Contact Apple starting with this link - never Google it: http://www.apple.com/support/
    Navigate the pages as follows:
    Under "Contact Us" click the blue "Contact Support" link
    Click the blue "Get Started" button
    Click "More Products & Services"
    Click "Apple ID"
    Click "iTunes Store, App Store or Mac App Store"
    Continue with the appropriate options and choose the contact method most convenient for you.

  • I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. Help?

    I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air  I can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. It keeps going back to my old apple id and doesn't afford me to alter it. I use system preferences-icloud and it just wants to verify the old apple id but doesn't afford me the opportunity to delete teh account or edit it like the iphone5 and ipad. Help?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need to use the sign out option on the left side.

  • How do I create a new Apple ID every time I try apple says that the email has been used please help me!!

    How do I create a new Apple ID every time I try apple says I can't because that email has been taken I've done it multiple times please help me

    An email address can only be associated with one Apple ID at a time. You will have to remove it from the other ID or use a different email address.

  • I cant sign in to i-cloud with my new apple id  i signed out of the old one and when i try to log in i just get the 'thinking about it' logo. this lasts for ages and doesn't sign me in.  help!

    Hi, i have recently purchased an i-phone 4s and had been merrily playing away and set up an i cloud account.  However when i tried to access i cloud from my pc i couldn't verify it.  I had to change my apple id because i no longer had access to my old e-mail.  I managed to sort out my i-phone and change all the  accounts to my new apple i.d (except game centre? don't know how to do that yet.)  but when i signed out of my old i-cloud account on my pc and tried to sign in with my new apple id it just tries to connect (i get the i'm thinking about it wheel) for ages; not allowing me to log on.
    Help!

    Content (apps, music, ibooks, films etc) is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so if the iBooks app was downloaded using the account that you used to share with your ex then only that account can download updates to it. As it's a free app you could delete it and re-download it under your own account - and then re-download your ibooks into it (or copy the books to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them back to the app).

  • TS5223 Updated to iOS8. I don't remember the password for my old Apple ID or the password for that e-mail. I can't delete the iCloud account without knowing it, although my iTunes and everything else is set to the new Apple ID and password. Help?!

    I keep getting pop-ups telling me to sign in to my iCloud and it's very annoying. I have no idea what the old password was, and I don't really have a way of changing the old password because I also don't know my password for the e-mail address connected to it (it kept telling me that the answers to my security questions were wrong, but I'm not sure what other answers they would have been). Therefore, I created an entirely new e-mail and a new Apple ID and everything else is set to that ID... except iCloud. Is there any way to correct this, or am I out of luck?

    If your device is signed into an old iCloud ID, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID*, do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going 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.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).
    * If that's not the case, you'll have to contact the Apple account security team and ask for assistance resetting the password for the old ID: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.  You'll have to be able to prove your identity to them before they will do this.

  • Need help getting music purchased with one apple id to my new phone that has a new apple id

    I used to have an ipod nano under one apple id.  I stopped using the nano and let my daughter use that apple id when she purchased an ipod touch.  I recently got an iphone and would like my music library on my phone.  I created a new apple id for my phone because when I used the old one one the phone it created problems with my daughter's ipod touch.  Is there any way to get my music onto my phone without making my daughter create a new id and taking back my old one. . . like opening up itunes and saving the music files to my computer's hard drive and then somehow importing them to my phone?  I'm grasping at straws here.   Any ideas are appreciated.
    Robyn

    Thank you thank you thank you!!!  Here's what I got to work (for anyone else who might come across this post and have the same problem I did):
    I saved the itunes music library (which contained all of the songs from my nano/old apple id) from my daughter's computer to a thumb drive and plugged it into my computer.  I opened up the thumb drive on my computer.  I dragged the music library located in the thumb drive to the itunes icon on my desktop.  I logged into itunes on my computer under my new apple id.  The songs showed up in the itunes library but not on the list of music or purchases located underneath my device name.  When I clicked on my device name to try and sync the music, my device name disappeared.  So I re-plugged in my device/phone and instead of clicking on the device name, I used shift and down arrow to highlight all of the songs in the music library and then I used my mouse to drag the blue highlighted area over to the word "music" located under my device name.  They immediately started syncing with my phone  I doublechecked my phone and they are all there! 
    Thank you, Lawrence for your helpful ideas.

  • HT1338 i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created.

    i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created. As i dont have the access to the earlier id anymore.

    You cannot. The apps are assigned to that Apple ID and there is nothing you can do to change that. You could choose to download them again with the new Apple ID, any paid apps will need to be purchased again.
    Hope that helps.

    My dad and I have shared an iTunes account for years and I just created a new apple id but I have no Idea how to get all those purchases to this new account. Help please?

    The old Apple ID (presumably your dads) owns those songs and your new Apple ID does not.  However, your dad can authorize your iD to use the songs by going to Store > Authorize This Computer from your iTunes menu and entering his Apple ID and password.
