On part of my iPhone I have one apple ID which refuses to take my password, so I set up another Apple ID - but I am still stuck with the old user name.  How do I get rid of it without losing all the applications I already paid for?  Thanks.

I have an apple id that i was using since september.  for some reason that user id is not working, so i created another.  but for my applications the old user id keeps coming up and i can't upgrade my apps - what do i do?

    Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes.  If the iPod asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or if you do not have the syncing computer, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore.  For recovery mode:

  • How can I change a restrictions passcode without losing all the restricted settings?

    We have two iPads for two boys... both are heavily restricted.  One of my boys saw the passcode and I changed it by disabling and then re-enabling restrictions, only to be shocked when ALL MY SETTINGS were reverted to default and DIDNT come back after enabling restrictions again.  How can I change the passcode on the other iPad without losing all the settings, especially the long list of blocked websites?
    Thanks in advance.

    What good would the passcode be if you could bypass it like that?

  • How do I get rid of white background in all the ios7 functions?

    Ok, I downloaded the new IOS7 and all the backgrounds are pure white.  Staring at the screen now is giving me an awful headache. How do I get some sort of darker color like a grey or black back ground so I can look at the screen?

    You are not alone! I've been getting bad headaches as well and you are correct it is the over use of brilliant white. Its particularly bad with Notes and Calander.I asked at the Apple store in Manchester if there was a way of reverting back to iOS6 but it looks like I'm stuck with it.
    It feels like Apple have broken my iPad!

  • How do I get rid of blurred text happens all the time now in Firefox web browser?

    Even when I was registering for this forum the text was blurred and multicolored sometimes. Its very annoying and hard to see. This is all the time with Firexfox. Chrome and IE I have no such issues.
    Also when I was taking an assessment test for a job application none of the answers took and I was told by the program that it was probably my browser. I used to use IE and never had any of these issues but changed to Firefox as I was informed that the security was better. All these issues have been frustrating to say the least.
    Thanks, Rita

  • One Apple ID, two iPhones, same iCloud. How do I get rid of this without losing contacts, calendars etc?

    Hi there, hope someone can help.
    My mum upgraded about 18 months ago to an iphone 5 and to set it up we used my Apple ID as it was linked to my dads bank card. Had absolutely no problems with this, everything has maintained separate.
    However when my mum decided to update to ios7 (and as she is a novice has not backed her phone up since upgrading) At first it appeared that when she updated she had lost all her contacts, calendars etc but this was restored through iCloud.
    Now our phones appear completely linked. Eg when I receive a FaceTime call it goes to my mums phone as well.
    So is there any way of splitting our iCloud account without having to lose all our data? Especially as my mum has months worth of business meetings. To make it worse we currently live the other side of the country from each other, so going to the Genius Bar seems rather pointless!

  • How do i get rid of icloud without losing everything

    I inadverdantly installed the latest IOS 7 on my wife's ipad from work.  She was asked not to install it because of concerns with icloud.
    I am afraid if I delete the account it will lose a lot of information that she requires. I just don't want to make matters worse.
    Thanks in advance

    Just delete the account from the device in "Settings > iCloud" and if you miss something and need anything back, then you could still add the account back on again.

  • HT201365 I recently updated my Ipad 2 with iOS7 and I suddenly have 794 emails in my inbox which were previously read and deleted.  how do I get rid of them without doing one at a time?

    I recently updated my Ipad2 to iOS7 and suddenly have 794 emails in my inbox which were previously reviewed and deleted.  How can I get rid of them without doing one at a time?

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • I'm using 9.2.1.  Every time I open an album, I get a "face (the same one)" covering every picture. If I click on the picture, I can see the real picture.  How do I get rid of this "face" that covers all?

    Make a temporary backup of your library (if you don't already have a backup of it) and launch iPhoto with the Command +Option key held down and rebuild the library with options #1, 2, 3 and 6 selected.

  • I have an app update on my phone through the app store, but i dont have that app and when i hit update it says the item is no longer available for sale,, but i cannot get rid of the little 1 at the corner of the app store app,, how can i get rid of it

    i have an app update on my phone through the app store, but i dont have that app and when i hit update it says the item is no longer available for sale,, but i cannot get rid of the little 1 at the corner of the app store app,, how can i get rid of it,, i have iphone 5

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

  • When I send an email, a photo appears after my name in the sender line. How do I get rid of it?

    When I send an email, a photo appears after my name in the sender line. How do I get rid of it?

    I don't have a signature set up, but did a little research.  Someone posted that these will show up when I send an email to myself, but will not show up when sent to another person.  I sent a test email to a friend to check for sure.

  • HT3951 I have several tv episodes stuck in my downloads on my iPad. I receive an error, unable to download when I try to resume downloading. I can't clear them out of the download queue. How do I get rid of these from download?

    I have several tv episodes stuck in my downloads on my iPad. I receive an error, unable to download when I try to resume downloading. I can't clear them out of the download queue. How do I get rid of these from download?

    You can always finish the downloads in iTunes on your computer and then the TV Shows to the iPad. Launch iTunes and go to Store>Check for available downloads. Finish the downloads and then sync the iPad.
    As far as trying to finish the downloads on the iPad .....
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. 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.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to download again.
