New iPad user, set up wrong email address how can I change

I set up an iPad for our principal and used the wrong email address.  HOw can I change it to the right one?

You can just abandon the ID and set up a new one. Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap the ID that is showing in there and sign out. Then you can create a new ID right in there.
You will need to use another email address in order to create the correct ID, so I assume that is not going to be a problem if the first email address was wrong.

  • 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've logged onto iTunes, but it's asking me security questions because it's a new device, and I'm getting the answers wrong, but iTunes wants to reset but send the new passwords to my ex partners email address how can I get round this.

    I believe part of the recovery process is you get an e-mail allowing you to reset questions.  If that e-mail isn't correct either because your son set it up then you really have no option but to ask Apple again.  They are getting strict abotu security and given the number of "My iTunes account got hacked" posts here I can guess why.  They have no way of knowing you really are the owner of the account.  It's like me going to a policeman and saying, "See that car over there?  That is mine, can you open the door for me?" and the police opening it on that basis alone.

  • My i-cloud has an old email address, how can i change it?

    my i-cloud has an old email address, how can i change it? When I try to delete the account to set up a new one it keeps asking for the password that I dont have. What can I do?

    If the old ID is yours, and if it 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, 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'm trying to update my apps but itunes is defaulting to an old deleted email address, how can I change it?

    I'm trying to update my apps on my ipad, but when I go to updates itunes has suddenly defaulted to an old deleted email address, how can I fix this? When I go into settings on my ipad the email address is correct, it's just itunes thats causing a problem. Can someone please help, I cant access the deleted email address and when I try to answer the security questions Apple is telling me that I have entered the incorrect date of birth.....I haven't forgotten my date of birth.... this is so frustrating. What can I do?????

    Is it a different account e.g. did you update your account with a new email address or did you create a new account ? If you updated your existing account then try logging out of the account by tapping on the id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in and see if the updated id then shows in the Purchased tab.
    If you created a new account then all apps (and any other content) downloaded by the old account will remain tied to the old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps (and/or redownload its purchases). If you can't remember its password, and can't get the security questions reset (you don't have a rescue email address on the account ?), then you have need to contact Support in your country to get the questions and password reset.

    I Have registered the wrong email address when setting up my iTunes how do I change it

    You should be able to change the email address on the account by logging into the account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes, or by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging in

  • I am trying to update my apps n all of a sudden it changed to my old email address how can I change my email on this iPhone so I can update my apps it all of a sudden did this thanks

    I Am trying to update my apps on my iPhone and it wouldn't let me and it had my user id as my old email from an old acct that I do not have anymore how do I change it back so I can down load my apps thanks

    You cannot, all content is tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them.
    Content from one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
    You need to recover your Apple ID for updates.

  • I am trying to update Apps and it is showing an old email address how can I change to my new email address?

    I am trying to update my apps and I need to change it to my new email how do I do that?

    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • HT201363 I don't know the answers to my security questions or my rescue email address, how can I change those

    I need to change my security questions because I don't know the answers to them and I don't know my rescue email either. How do I fix that?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • HT204053 I changed my apple ID to my new email address how to I change my apple ID for the cloud to a 3 rd email address?

    I have a 4 year old macbook and a new ipad mini. I share the same apple ID with my daughter who has an iphone 4. Recently I changed the apple id last week to my new email address. The cloud has my old apple ID ( email address), how can I change that  cloud ID to a 3rd email address? I do not want to share that cloud ID with my dughter, I want us to have our own IDs.

    First save any photo stream photos that you want to keep on your device by opening the photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing Notes with iCloud, email them to yourself as you will have to recreate these after changing accounts.  Finally, if you are syncing any iWork documents with iCloud go to the settings for these apps and turn iCloud sycing to Off.
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPad when prompted.  (This will only delete the account from your device, not from iCloud.  If your daughter is keeping the existing account her devices will not be effected by this.)  Then sign back in with your new ID to create a new iCloud account, turn on your iCloud data syncing, choose Merge when prompted to upload the data to the new account.  Then recreate any Notes from the emails sent earlier and turn on iCloud syncing with iWork again, if appropriate.
    existing iCloud old email address with the old account.  If you still want to access it on your iPad, you'll have to go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and sign in with the old account ID.  This email will be fetch only, not push.
    Once your iPad has migrated to the new account, if you also want to move your Mac to this account go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign in with the new ID.

    app. email address is differant then update email address, how can i change my up date address to be the same ?

    The last time I received official word on this from Apple, I was told it is not possible to merge or otherwise change Apple ID's.
    Ours is not to reason why.
