What is my apple id username

Trying to download an app and it keeps saying my Apple ID username or password is incorrect after I just resert my password and reconfirmed my Apple ID. What is my username supposedto be?

Your Apple ID is your email address. If you can get into your device, you can see it in Settings>iCloud>Account.

    If it's running Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down, open the Terminal, and use the resetpassword command:

    The iTunes Store on my iPad is set up with all my music already. And at the very bottom it shows my apple Id username. The only place it shows the previous owners id is in the App Store...
    You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
    but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

  • I recently changed my Apple ID username and password and now get a message each time I open my iPad to enter my Apple ID to continue to receive downloads. However the message shows the old username for my Apple ID.

    I recently changed my Email address which required me to change my username for my Apple ID and my password. The changed has been successful, but each time that I open my iPad, I get a message that I need to enter my Apple ID to continue to receive downloads. The problem is that the username that comes up for entry of the password is the OLD Apple ID username. I have entered the old password and then then I am directed that it is not correct and given advice to change my password or username. I can't figure out how to resolve this issue.

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.

  • Regarding the internet breech as seen on the news.  What advice is Apple giving to its computer, iPad, and phone users?

    Regarding the internet breech as seen on the news.  What advice is Apple giving to its computer, iPad, and phone users?

    That does not affect any OS X client or iOS, and there is no action for you or Apple to take.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.

  • Changing my Apple ID username

    Apple's KB article HE40 (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40indicates that) changing one's Apple ID username can be done now.  Has anyone had any success doing this?  In my case, I am not seeing  the same screens shown in this article — the option to edit the username is not presented.  Does anyone have a suggestion for a workaround besides creating a new Apple ID — which seems problematic because it appears that people have had difficulty reusing the same email address. Here are the screen shots of the screens I am seeing...
    From the KB article HE40:
    From My Apple ID:
    And from my Apple Support Community 'edit profile':

    I am not sure about the Apple ID aspect of this, maybe someone with more smarts than me will weigh in on that part. But you do need to recognize that the Apple ID and the Apple Support Communities are separate and you can have (and usually do) a different Support Community username than your Apple ID. So, try not to confuse them.
    Looking at the article, is your current Apple ID [email protected] or [email protected]?

  • On MacBook Pro, in iCloud cannot access Apple ID username to change it, from previous user. Can you help?

    On MacBook Pro, in iCloud I cannot access Apple ID username to change it, from previous user. Can anyone help?

    In System Preferences>iCloud: Sign Out, reboot and then Sign In with your ID and password.
    If Find My Mac is switched on you will be unable to sign out without the previous owners password.

  • HT1414 My Apple ID username on my iPhone4 is seemingly locked on an old, unseable ID when I try to access the App Store on the iPhone. Everywhere else it has been updated (itunes etc.). How do I get past this no longer useable email/AppleID?

    The phone has been restored from settings from an old iPod Touch. The Apple ID username there worked well then, but I have since updated that. The email is no longer useable (university) and the passwords I have tried do not work - nor should they since I have updated my Apple account. Again, it's only when I try to access the App Store on my iPhone does this Apple ID problem surface. Please help! Thanks.

    Settings -> Store --> AppleID

  • Apple TV does not recognize my Apple account username (email) and password, but ITunes, my iPad and iPhone does.  I have rest my password three times, same results. Also, ATV says my computer is not authorized, but I-Tunes says it is.

    Apple TV does not recognize my Apple account username (email) and password, but iTunes, my iPad and iPhone does.  I have rest my password three times, same results.
    ATV says my computer is not authorized, but i-Tunes says it is.
    I have i-Tunes open on my computer and have entered i-Tunes store, ATV says it can't access the store.  Both on the same network!
    I am so frustrated with this system!  All these problems with Apple TV are not the end but the beginning.
    In i-Tunes, songs are lost when they have not been moved. I lose whole albums I have ripped from CDs to iTunes
    An audiobook book in two files are in the library but only one file is recognized by iTunes when I try to play it or transfer it to my iPhone

    I Am having the same issue. Ie on the password issue.
    I Am using a Macpro though.
    i Have had no issues with the setup until recently.
    However I think the hard drive is starting to fail as it keeps on losing the wireless connection and gas been stuttering a lot on playback.

  • What the **** has Apple done now? iPhone 4 no longer syncs correctly

    After all the B/S of trying to sync a SonyEriccson P1i the iPhone 4 was a beath of fresh air. So typically 'Apple' with its simplicity and efficiency.
    Yet suddenly it will not sync correctly. Is it iTunes 10.1.2 or iOS 4.2.1 to blame? I have no idea.
    Only some of the new contacts entered into the phone transfer to the Address Book. Those that do not will not transfer in ANY direction ie. neither from MBP to iPhone or vice-versa. Enter in a nonsense address and it will sync. Modify it to one of the 'troublesome' addresses in the Adrees Book and it will not update on the iPhone.
    What the **** has Apple done now? Is this another crappy untested update somewhere?

    Right then, for those who want to know the most likely suspect for all this sync'ing grief is the Sony Ericsson P1i.
    Having finally got the iPhone talking to iTunes normally with latest contacts, calendar, Mail accounts etc AND syncing new contacts in BOTH directions (MBP to iP4 and iP4 to MBP) I then synced the SE P1i with the latest definitive up-to-date Address Book using Device Reset in order to wipe the phone first.
    Everything suddenly stopped working again with the iPhone/iTunes syncing.
    Getting it working again involved importing an old Address Book backup and doing a manual iPhone sync. Then restart everything, throw away the iPhone backup within iTunes, open up Mail and just click on stuff before closing it (because the Mail Accounts had also disappeared from the iPhone again), doing a manual 'One-Time' sync of Contacts forcing the computer info onto the iPhone, re-importing the latest Address Book backup on the MBP, doing one more manual sync, restart everything, throw away the iphone backup and then an auto sync.
    Finally, everything gets loaded back onto the iPhone and the ability to add or delete contacts on both iPhone and MBP is reinstated with sync in both directions.
    Moral of the story? Crush your Sony Ericsson. The P900 series used to sync cleanly and easily via Bluetooth (both Contacts AND Calendars), but the P1i is and always has been troublesome and difficult and has a VERY unstable Bluetooth connection. I went through months of misery with the third-party app Missing Sync and suffered corrupted computer Address Books all the time. A real piece of SH1T.

  • What does service "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start mean?

    What does service "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start mean? I have been trying to download the new version and a message says please verify that you have sufficient prvileges to start system.

    Hey Michael13504,
    First, I would try the steps in here:
    How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
    If you end up having to remove and reinstall iTunes, make sure you follow all of the steps in this link:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    This section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    All the best,

  • How do you know what generation your Apple TV is?

    How can you tell what generation your Apple TV is and what the version IOS it is running? Thanks for any help!

    In the link provided, there is a section which tells which model you have; e.g.
    Apple TV (3rd generation)
    Year introduced: Early 2012
    Color: Black
    Model number on bottom:
    A1427 for Apple TV (3rd generation)
    A1469 for Apple TV (3rd generation) Rev A
    The A1427 or A1469 is printed on the bottom of the apple tv with very fine print, i had to use a flashlight to see my model number.

  • TS1702 How do change the old Apple ID username and password to the updated username and password for the apps store?

    How do you change the old Apple ID username and password to the updated username and password in order to get updated apps from the app store?

    Do you mean you kept the same account but you only updated your AppleID?
    Just log out and log back in with new ID.
    Note that the AppleID is embedded into the item at purchase and cannot be changed.
    However, when you change your AppleID, it will link the old account name to the new account name so you will not have any problems updating apps using the new AppleID.

  • What program is apple using to make there website?

    I was wondering (because I would like a website as powerful as apples and as easy to use as iweb). What Program did apple use to make there website and do you need multiple programs to do those things such as. the way buttons are animated not using flash, and the search function, and forums and store, etc.
    Anyways, this aught to be an interesting discussion

    There is really no way to know what Apple uses to build their site.
    There is no reason why you can not make a good looking, fast site in iWeb. The only reason why your website may not look as nice is because you are probably not a professional website designer like the people behind Apple's site.
    If your site is too slow consider reducing the number of images you use on your website, making sure your text is not converted to images, you switch to a real web hosting provider and not rely on MobileMe, and you run your iWeb website through a web site optimizer.
