Resetting App store Apple ID and Password
I just uploaded OS 6 to my iPad. Now when I go to the app store my son's son's Apple ID Password Shows up on my iPad. My iCloud ID still recognizes my same ID password, but the app Store has change it over to my son's info. My son has never used my iPad to visit the app store. Is there any way I can change my Apple ID password for the app store back to what is was before?

I have an old iCloud account on my phone.
This account was set up using an old Apple ID and password.
Since then I've changed both id and password.
In order to delete the existing (old) iCloud account from my phone I need to provide the old password from the old and defunct account.
I don't remember that password.
I've tried resetting it through the support network but to no avail.
I need to delete the old account in order to set up a new one.
Any thoughts?If the ID is yours but you don't know the password, you'll have to reset it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787). If the ID belongs to a previous ownder of the phone, you'll have to either get the ID and password from them, or have them erase the phone and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.

App Store email ID and Password access
I successfully changed my Apple ID (new email address and password) through my MacBook. However, when attempting to update my iPhone apps, or buy new apps on my iPhone, the app store on my iPhone will not recognize my new email address. It brings up my old email and will not allow me to log in. Even with my old email and password. I did do a sync between my MacBook and iPhone, but this does not fix the problem. Suggestions on how to get my iPhone to recognize my new emai and password?
I had this same problem but it's a simple fix. I'll just repost what I posted on another forum:
Go to the App Store app, and click on the "featured" tab on the bottom. Once on that page, scroll down to the bottom of the page and it should list the account being used. Click on it and you have the option to sign out. Once you've signed out the page will refresh and there will be an option to sign in, simply input your own account info and it will sign you in. You only have to verify your account again before making any purchases and then you're set and ready to go. Hope that helps. -
my brothergave me 2 of his iphones but he cant remember the apple id he setup the phone with. So when i went to activate it thru a prepaid service it doesn't allow me to go pass the activation screen. how do I bypass this/
Well if he /forgot/ his apple id then what he should do is to look up all of his email addresses to try to get the crendential's back...if he can't remember that then your brother gave you a beauitful paperweight, I hope you didn't pay for it

Have been having trouble trying to set up an account with game center. I have several times reset both my Apple ID and password using both of my email accounts. Each time I get a message saying that it is "already in use by another game center account", which I am sure is me, but I must have done something wrong in the initial set-up. Please advise how I can wipe out all info and finally create a valid account to get onto game center!! Thanks!
Im trying to switch the Apple ID names around, and what i've learnt is that the Apple ID has to be an Email that isn't an Apple ID. Yup, it's messed alright.

I have reset my password however when I try to use the App Store it says the password is incorrect. Do I have to set up an account in iTunes with a credit card in order to use the App Store? I did not have to do this in he past. Thanks
Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Note:
Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap the Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign in with the Apple ID of your choosing.

When I try to update apps on my iPad, it asks me for my mothers password and displays her apple ID. How do I change it to ask for my apple id and password??? I am signed into the store and iCloud with my apple id. I am not signed into ITunes, the store on the ipad, or icloud under her name. WIERD???
There is no featured tab in my iTunes store. . . and everywhere it shows me signed in. I had downloaded an app for my mother on HER ipad, and that is the only app I have done for her. It shows up on my phone, and now I cannot update any of my apps. I uninstalled that app on my phone, but when I want to update ones I have installed on my phone with my appleid, she keeps showing up.

The app store on my laptop is asking for my husband's apple id and password to update my apps, but he is not a user on my computer. How do I change that? The apple id email is grayed out, so I cannot select it.
Delete and redownload those applications.

Is there any reason why my apple id and password allow log in to App Store but say password invalid when trying to activate Facetime - I thought that Id and password were the same for all functions ?

help, the last apple ID used to download in my ipad2 is stuck, I can't download anything because its not asking for my apple ID and password, how do I change it back to mine?
Again, this only affects you if someone *redownloaded* content with a different ID. In my case, I emailed iTunes Store support, explained the situation, and they reset the counter. I recommend you try the same
If you read discussion boards, this is a significant change from a year ago, when Apple told people in the same situation to go f&$# themselves. Clearly it's dawning on them that this is a stupid policy, and my guess is if people keep complaining they'll change it to something more reasonable. Remember, it wasn't that long ago you couldn't re-download content at all.
Apple can't really afford to play hardball on this. Sure, the hardcore fanboys will always say "Thank you sir, may I have another" whatever Apple throws at them, but the rest of us will just switch to Amazon, which has none of these restrictions. -
Have updated apple I D and password
Now appstores still using old apple Id and password
Cannot update or download apps
Created new apple I d and password and now still iTunes using old id and old password doesn't work
BbaaaaaaaahhhhhhhHi Mofomon,
If you want to use the new/updated AppleID and password, you need to sign out of the App Store, sign out of iTunes, etc. and then sign back on with the new ID and password.
To sign out of the App Store on your iPad, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, then click on your old AppleID, click on View Account, and sign in with your old password that goes with that ID. Then click on Sign Out. Once you have the old ID signed out, you can sign back on with the new ID and Password.
New purchases will be done with that ID, but if you actually set up a totally separate brand new ID from your old one (as opposed to simply changing it) then any past purchases will still be linked to that old ID, and will require the old password for updating.
If you simply changed your existing AppleID, then the new password will be what is needed for updating.
Cheers,

Suddenly when I try and log in to the store I enter Apple ID and password and it just says "Unknown Error". If I try again it locks the account and I have to reset the password. Then the same thing happens again. Now reset password several times. Help!
Launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / View My Account
Click: Edit Payment Information
Make sure you have the correct Security Code.
Then click: Done
And try resetting your Apple ID password. https://iforgot.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/DSiForgot.woa/wa -
I have an iphone 4 and recently changed my apple id password. I went through the verification successfully. For some reason, I can't sign into the app store on my iphone using my apple id and password.
Apple doesn't monitor here. Best we can do is to push you to contact Apple directly.

Twain Driver for Labview?
Does any one know if National Instrument have any plan to develop a driver to interface with digital (still) cameras? They just released the IEEE1394 driver. The absence of a corresponding USB driver is very glaring. What's going on?
