Old Apple ID name keeps popping up

I changed the primary e-mail for my son's Apple ID and can sign in to all the apps and iCloud and Internet Accounts using the new address. However, when I shut down & restart the computer it reverts to a screen as if I'm setting up my ID for the first time when I log into his account. However, I keep getting pop up screens with the OLD e-mail address for the same ID from Facetime, iMessaging and iCloud to enter my password. I then go into those applications and the old e-mail has reappeared. I have no idea where it is coming from. I tried deleting the iCloud accounts in the user library. I tried deleting the keychains. Nothing works. It seems like it is possessed.

Go to Settings/iCloud. Is the email address on that page yours? If it is not see frazzm737's post.
Did you remove all of the apps from the phone when you started using it? If you did not then the apps are all tied to the previous owner's iTunes account. That message means that you got an update for an app, and the previous owner's ID is needed to install it.

Did you change the ID you are using for iCoud? If so, did you delete the account, then sign back in with your new ID on your device?

iphone will not sync with itunes or ture on only with it on a charger but will only keep popping up the apple sign or on acation show iso6 on screen and say sync with conputer but as soon as i take it off yhe charger it wont do anything

I followed the instructions in those 2 articles. Still not able to see the device in ITunes. I reinstalled the latest iTunes and all updates to my iMac (Mac OSX ver 10.6.8). I tried 3 different USB Cables in different USB ports. Rebooting both the Iphone and IMac. Still nothing seems to be working. I searched the discussion boards and I see other people with the same problem but they seem to run into the same problems finding a solution. I dont understand what happened because this was working properly up until 2 days ago. Do you have any more suggestions?

Wrong Apple ID's keep popping up on phone

At one point in time, my brother, sister, and I all shared one computer. We shared all of our music because of this. We no longer share music libraries. On my iPhone now, their ID's keep popping up asking for their passwords even though I don't have any of their music in my iPhone library. How do I delete their Apple ID's from my phone so that it will stop popping up?
Thanks!

Backup your iPhone. Go into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. If this doesn't work, you will need to erase all content and settings and then restore from your backup.

MacBook Pro: I have changed my old apple id address but cannot now update apps as it sees my old apple id name as the primary holder. I decided to edit back to the old apple id but it won't allow me to do so. What else can I do?

MacBook Pro: I have changed my old apple ID address but cannot update apps now as it still reverts to my old ID address as the primary holder (it is the apple ID that I have purchased the apps, etc). I have tried to edit back to the old address but it will not let me type in the address and there is no blue edit sign on the rhs. What can I do to rectify this problem?. Is there a waiting period after editing an apple ID address? I have spent the good part of yesterday searching the net and know that there is a major problem with this but wondering if anyone has found a solution. Thank you.

Hello Jamcef,
Thank you for the question. Use these steps to change the Apple ID signed into the iTunes Store:
Sign in with a different Apple ID
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
Tap your Apple ID.
If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
Tap Sign Out.
Enter your Apple ID and Password and tap Sign In.
Or if you don't have another Apple ID, tap Create New Apple ID.

My iphone 4 has become unusable because Incorrect Apple ID Password keeps popping up even though I have entered my password correctly

The message just keeps popping up and I can't do anything with the phone. It's most frustrating

If it says incorrect password the password is incorrect, even if you think it is correct. But are you sure it is asking for the password for the same account that you are entering the password for?

I want to download apps but my apple id passwords keeps popping up and its annoying. How do i stop that?

How do i stop the apple id password from popping up when i want to download apps ?

You don't. That is how it works. It is a verification process. Would you like anyone that picked up your phone to be able to make purchases? I don't think so.

I changed the email address for Apple ID, but can't get iCloud to change. I no longer have access to old email. It keeps popping up wanting password for old account. What do I do"

How do I change Apple ID in iCloud? Can do iTunes but not iCloud. I no longer have access to old email account. Thanks!!

HT204053 Old apple ID is keeping me from downloading

I changed my apple ID and the old one is keeping me from downloading things from the App Store on my phone. What can I do?

Hi pressage,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you changed your Apple ID, you will need to sign out of the iTunes Store and sign back in with your new Apple ID and password.

HT201263 None of these answers help my problem. My ipad will not leave the Apple logo. I hold both buttons and the screen goes black, then the apple logo immediately pops back up. I can't do anything because the apple logo just keeps popping back on.

I haven't been able to find any answers that solve my problem. My Ipad will not leave the Apple logo. I hold both buttons and the screen goes black and then the Apple logo immediately pops back up. I can't get the red slider screen at all. No matter how many times I hold down both buttons the screen goes black and then the Apple logo pops right back on.

Before you do anything else, try charging via a wall outlet for a while, since its off. Then try turning it back on.
When you put the device into recovery mode it allows you to restore the device when no other options work. You do risk losing everything currently strored on the ipad itself. Hopefully you've performed regular backups either via itunes, icloud or both. Evern if you have synced content to either of those, you may not lose everything. All previous purchases have been saved in the itunes and app stores, so you can dowload them again.
while the ipad is off, press and hold the home button and plug the usb cord into the ipad. You should see a message pop up on the itunes window on your compoter screen that state it has discoverd an ipad in recovery mode.
You should now be able to restore

Apple ID Password keeps popping up

Earlier today I had to restore my iPhone, and it screwed some stuff up.
An iCloud restore got most of it working, but a few things were wrong. My apps were out of order (not in any folders), and a couple other minor things. No big deal though.
After syncing my music back, my iPhone keeps asking for a few different Apple ID passwords...since it keeps suggesting a few different Apple IDs, I am led to believe that I have music from a few friends that I previously had authorized, but now I need to re-authorize them.
Honestly, I'd like to just get rid of those couple songs (I have too many for one or two to matter probably). How can I find a song that has a certain Apple ID? Either in iTunes or on my iPhone, I don't care.
Thanks!

What the phone is trying to do is download some music off the cloud that's tied to these other people. Click the iTunes App and if there is a number pending in your downloads this should be the issue.
Also delete this music in your Music App. This is music that you added to your Library that was purchased by someone else not with your iPhone but it contains the info

I changed my apple Id but now I can't use my iTunes. My old apple id keeps showing up to log in. How do I get my new Id to come up?

I need help trying to delete my old apple ID that keeps popping up when I try to log In to iTunes. And my iPad won't sink with my iPhone since I changed my apple ID.

i'm having the same problem. is there anyone who can help?

After I updated my iPhone with IOS 6.1 my old Apple ID keeps popping up on my iPhone for me to type in the password that I no longer know. On the Apple site the Manage my Apple ID says my old Apple ID could not be found. How do I get this to stop?

I just updated my iPhone with the newest update IOS 6.1. My old Apple ID keeps popping up on my iPhone for me to type in the password that I no longer know. All the passwords I type in do not work. I no longer have access to this email which is my old Apple ID. After installing the newest software update my old Apple ID came up to finish configuring. Since I no longer have access to this Apple ID and email account and after trying some passwords I skipped the step. It then said FaceTime, iCloud (which I do not use), and more may not work. I clicked that it was OK since I could not remember the password to my old Apple ID. I then went to my settings to be sure my newer email was my Apple ID by typing in my current Apple ID and password. Also, I went to Manage my Apple ID online and my old Apple ID could not be found. Is it OK I skipped that step in the IOS 6.1 configuration? How do I get my old Apple ID to stop popping up?

Blue
It sounds like you restored from an old back-up. Did you back-up just before your software update? It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
Sorry for your losses.
Cheers
