Wrong Apple ID

Hello,
A few months ago, I changed my apple ID email adress and am now having some problems with my new iPhone 5C.
Under the iCloud menu on my phone, it won't let me "click" on my old ID to change it, which still reads my previous apple ID. But, when I sign into iCloud, my previous ID is no longer valid and won't let me sign in. When I sign in with my new ID, there is no mention of the previous one, and the old email address (which i deleted) is no longer linked.
How can I resolve this issue?
Thanks!

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

  • Wrong Apple ID: How do I change the Apple ID prompt when Updating All Apps?

    How can I change the (wrong) Apple ID from the password prompting dialogue when I am already signed in Apple Store with my own ID?
    More details of my problem:
    When I try the Apps' Update-All option in my iPod 4, the password dialogue prompts me with my girlfriend's Apple ID; YET, I AM signed in the Apple Store with MY own Apple ID.
    I have already verified my ID under Settings/Store. I have also signed out, signing back in with my Apple ID, just in case. No problems there, for I DO sign in with my own ID ok. The problem is just the prompt dialogue for password, when I try to use the 'Update All' feature it prompts me for password with her ID, not mine.
    If I go back to Apps and choose the Categories (or Top25) menu, at the bottom of the page, it shows me signed in (my Apple ID). If I try to update one Apps it will do ok. But if I try to Update All it will prompt me for password using her ID, waiting for me to type in HER password. I cannot change the Apple ID on that dialogue (static). If I use my password, it will return the "wrong password" dialogue.
    How can I change the prompt for the Update All? What is going on here that I AM signed in but my iPod prompts me with her ID. My iPod is registered under my Apple ID. I have already tried the Hard reset by pressing Home and Power buttons simultaneously, to no avail. I am also using my own network to go Online. I am also with the latest OS in my iPod and my Mac's iTunes.
    Thank you!
    PS This problem is not occurring in my iPhone 4 (same account) nor my Macs.

    Does not work for me. (My iPhone is not jailbroken.)
    I downloaded a paid app "Imray Marine Rules and Signals v1.5" in the USA with my original account (Account1) then moved countries and needed to create a new Apple account (Account2). If I get 'Info' for the app, it is registered to Account1.
    A new version 1.6 of the Imray app has now been released.
    I have set up only Account1 on the iphone (settings - App Store) and both Account1 and Account2 in iTunes on my computer. My iphone always tells me there is 1 app to update. However, when I try to update this app on my iphone, I get asked for the password for Account2, then the download fails as it says I do not have a paid earlier version to update.
    When I am logged into my computer iTunes as Account1 and try to update it on the computer iTunes, it says there are no apps to update (although my version of the app is definitely the old version).
    When I search for the app in iTune Store, it tells me I have already downloaded version 1.6 of the app and the download button is grayed out.
    If I temporarily delete the app from my iTunes then try to re-download, I am asked to purchase it again.
    If I log into iTunes as Account2 then try to download it, I am asked to purchase it.
    Any ideas? I feel I have tried every option and no success.

  • My iPad shows the wrong apple I'd when I try to update my apps

    I checked the settings and my correct apple ID is tthere but whenever I try to update an app, it shows the wrong apple  ID and I can't change it.

    Yes, it's an old Apple ID that was changed at least 2 years ago.
    There is a difference between creating a new Apple ID and changing the username that you use for your Apple ID. If you got a new email address and changed the old Apple ID to reflect the new email address, that new ID should work with previously purchased apps.
    So did you just change the username (the new email address)  for your Apple ID or did you actually create a new Apple ID? If you created a new Apple ID, you will not be able to use that new ID to update the old apps. You will have to continue to use the old ID and password to update those previously purchased apps.

  • When I try to update my apps the wrong apple ID shows up how do I change it

    I am trying to update my apps and the wrong apple ID username comes up for a password . How do I change it to be mine?

    Go into the Settings app and select Store. The account displayed should be the one you are being prompted to supply the password for. You can press that button and it should give you the option to sign out of that account. Once you do that you will be able sign in with another account or create a new one. As noted by the previous poster, changing accounts will not change the ownership of the apps already purchased.

  • HT204161 Wrong Apple ID for iCloud on my iPhone. How do I change it?

    When I set up my replacement iphone, I entered the wrong Apple ID for iCloud. How do I change it?

    You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials.  This deletes the account and your synced data from your phone, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.

  • Can't update iPhoto because of wrong Apple ID?

    I have a client that just purchased iphoto for the iphone. Now his mac says he can't update the iphoto 9.1.5 on it because he's logged in with the wrong apple account? Anyone see this or have ideas? He's running a MacBook Pro with OS X.7.3.
    The exact error message he's getting is from the App store:  "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.". The iphoto that's installed on his mac is from a site-licensed iLife CD that we have. No one else is reporting this problem so its got to be restricted to his machine.
    Nothing shows up in the Software Updates either.
    Thanks,
    thefishyfew

    Because the iPhoto was installed from Disk  you update via Software Update
    If you have moved iPhoto from the default location (i.e. into a Folder) then the updater won't find it. Move it back.
    If you have renamed iPhoto, the updater won't find it. Change it back.

  • When I am trying to sign in to iTunes Store. I am requested to enter a password to the wrong Apple ID mail which does not belong to me... I can't connect to iTunes store and my Viber and Facetime are not active.

    My Apple ID was disabled. I reseted it successfully. Afterwards, when I am trying to update the pending apps in App Store on my phone, in order to sign in to iTunes Store I am requested to enter a password to the wrong Apple ID which definitely does not belong to me ('[email protected]'). Of course, I don't know this password and, consequently, I can't connect to Itunes Store on my Iphone. As a result my Viber and Facetime are not active in the meanwhile. What should I do? Thanks in advance for kind help and solution.

    Where did you get this iPhone?
    Was it new or second hand?
    You have to sign out then sign in with the correct Apple ID and password.
    Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > do it here.

    Hi everyone,
    I recently attempted to upgrade to the latest iOS on my iPhone 4. However there was an error, so my phone had to be restored. I did this, and was then prompted to activate my iPhone.

  • My iphone has the wrong apple id

    My iphone says i have updates but when i go to update them, they have the wrong apple id. how do i change the apple id's?

    I'd just like to add in and say it is saying I downloaded the apps from my mothers Apple ID, which I have never used. I also need to update 30 apps, and am not excited about deleting them all, and reinstalling them when I am positive it is the correct account. Also, I just recently updated my iPad and starting it up it had an old Apple ID of mine that and no longer use and did not use on the iPad. Because of this I had to skip a step in the updating process, then the apps wouldn't update. Please help!

    Thank you

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If your daughters Apple ID is displayed when trying to update apps, that would indicate that the app was originally purchased from her account, in which case you cannot update somebody else's app.
