Trying to erase settings from my old iphone but when I have to enter my itunes ID password the old email address is displayed.  How can I change this to my existing itunes account so I can reset this phone?  Thank you.

Trying to erase settings from my old iphone but when I have to enter my itunes ID password the old email address is displayed.  How can I change this to my existing itunes account so I can reset this phone?  Thanks in advance.

I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question.  Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing.  I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
My playlists "ARE"  in my iphone 4s.  They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer. 
When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes.  I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes:  Music, Movies, TV shows, books.  That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS"  but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone.  Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this.  I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer

    You need the Apple ID and password from the previous owner who set the Activation Lock.  Where did you get this phone?

    Or is it possible to transfer the purchases (apps) to my new .me account so that I can re-download them in the future without having to switch accounts?

    You can't do this, and you can't transfer purchases between accounts. There is no conflict about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match (the ID you've been using for iTunes) and using the other ID for iCloud.

    Hello Todd:
    I had this very same problem when trying to activate iMessage and Facetime on my iPad. When I signed into my account, I actually wasn't even presented with the option of a phone number - notwithstanding the fact that I was contacting others (and being reached by others) by my phone number on my iPhone. Having both the iPad and the iPhone on, I kept trying to turn off and on both iMessage and Facebook in Settings on both my iPad and iPhone, hoping that that they would eventually sync. But this proposed solution by others was unsuccessful for me.
    Then, I found out what the problem was: When my iPhone was activated, it automatically registered my phone number for contact purposes. I was using iMessage on my iPhone for quite some time without actually being signed into my Apple ID account. When another device - such as an iPad or iPod - is being used for iMessage or Facebook, you are prompted to sign into your Apple account, using your username and password. These two devices will not register your phone number as an option for contact unless your iPhone is signed into your Apple account as well. In other words: your phone number will not be synced.
    Go into your "Settings" on your iPhone and click on "Messages". Scroll down and click on "Send & Receive" (which should be followed by your phone number). On the next page, you will be able to determine whether or not your iPhone is using the Apple ID for messaging purposes. (Note: This information applies for Facetime as well.) If it is using your Apple ID for messaging, than at the top, you will see "Apple ID: <your particular e-mail account>" in Blue text. However, if you are not using your Apple ID for messaging, than you will see the words: "Use your Apple ID for message". Even though below this you will see your phone number checked as the contact source, you will want to click the tab that says, "Use your Apple ID for message". Sign into your account (just as you must sign in for iMessage on your other devices), and just choose your phone number as the "Send & Receive" contact. (The option of the e-mail will be there too, but you don't have to check it. And later on, you can delete it as an option.)
    Now that all of your devices are signed in using your Apple ID, the other devices should register your phone number as a choice. It may take a little while, however. What I did was sign out of iMessage on my iPad, and then sign in again. If the option didn't appear, I just went back and signed in again, and kept doing this until the option for the phone number appeared.
    Again, this will work for Facetime as well. The solution is to sync your iPhone account with the other devices by using your Apple ID for messaging (and Facetime) purposes.
    I hope that this works for you, Todd!   ~ Brian

  • I want to delete a few contacts, apps, pics etc from my iphone, but when I delete and connect to my laptop they sync and come back again. How can I delete those items and not get them back when I connect my iphone to my laptop?

    I want to delete a few contacts, apps, pics etc from my iphone, but when I delete and connect to my laptop they sync and come back again. How can I delete those items and not get them back when I connect my iphone to my laptop?
    Also where exactly on the laptop is teh data stored.
    Thank you!!

    go to 'Edit' in the menu bar. Then choose 'Preferences'.
    you'll see a pop-up and there's a tab called 'Devices' there. If you click that, you will be able to check a box that says 'prevent automatic syncing for iPods, iPads and iPhones' or something like that.
    Hope this helps
    NB: if you don't even see the menu bar that has options like 'File, Edit, View, etc', first click the black/white square button on the top left of your screen, and then click 'show menu bar'. It should pop right up.
    Good luck

  • HT5824 my iCloud account has the wrong mail address - where and how do I change this?

    my iCloud account has the wrong mail address - where and how do I change this?

    What do you mean with the wrong email address?
    - If it is not your account on your Mac, then just sign out and then sign in using your account in "System Preferences > iCloud".
    If you want to change your current email address which is associated with your iCloud account, please make sure that you turn of "Find My iPhone", "Find My Mac" on all your devices before you change your email address, then go to https://appleid.apple.com sign in and then change your Apple ID/iCloud ID. Please note that email addresses which end with @mac.com, @me.com and @icloud.com cannot be changed.

  • Hi, I use two email addresses within one account with gmx.  I created one account with the first email address now. How do I add the second one to this account? Now it looks like this. One account was opened with address A. I receive in this account email

    Hi, I use two email addresses within one account with gmx.
    I created one account with the first email address now. How do I add the second one to this account?
    Now it looks like this.
    One account was opened with address A.
    I receive in this account emails for address A and B.
    But I can only write and answer with address A.

    Hi Rudegar,
    Sorry for my late reply.
    It s not the amount of accounts I'm struggling with.
    When I create now for both email addresses one account, then I receive the same emails two times.
    That is not what I want.
    Because on gmx the two email addresses have the same inbox and outbox.
    E.g. I can login to my gmx account either with email A or B. It doesn't matter.
    Now I want to have the same on my ipad.
    One account with both email addresses.

    Millietrixie-
    Are you trying to call yourself to test FaceTime?  If so, you must have a second E-Mail address registered with your Apple ID.  In other words, there must be a different E-Mail address on each unit.

    I'm continually getting a pop-up message on my iPhone asking me to enter my Apple ID password for a email address I no longer use.  How do I make it stop?

    If you are signed into your current iCloud ID you shouldn't be prompted for the old ID unless there is another service still signed into it.  Check the ID in iMessage (Settings>Messages>Send & Receive), FaceTime (Settings>FaceTime), Game Center (Settings>Game Center), the iTunes store (Settings>iTunes & App Store), etc. to make sure you aren't still signed in with the old ID.  If you are, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.
