How can I change an Apple ID?

They gave me an iPhone 5 c, put in a new SIM card, then set up a new Apple ID.  Unfortunately, I didn't know that after the fact, that I should have used the same ID that is on my iPad.  I tried to change it (on the iPhone because it has less to this subject) but get a message saying the ID (from the iPad) is already in use. I don't know that there must be a way...

any help would be appreciated.

Hi, kathfromlambton.

Please visit Apple support communities.

Looks like you want to change Apple ID used for the services of Apple on your iPhone.  Because you receive an error indicating that the Apple ID is already in use, could you elaborate on what measures you will pass by when you receive this error?  Just to double check, you go through the steps below to change the Apple ID used?

Open one session with another Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

See you soon

    Tap your id in settings > iTunes and App Store and tap "sign out" on the context menu and connect you then back with the version update of your account.

  • How can I change my Apple "username".

    How can I change my Apple "username"?

    I assume you mean the email address which is your identifier Apple and the connection?

    If your primary address (ID) is a @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address you cannot change. If it is a non-Apple address, you can change it as follows:

    1. First of all, if you have 'Find my iPad/iPhone/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn off the power.
    2. Create a new address of e-mail, such as Yahoo or Gmail or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it is not associated with one identifier Apple).
    3. Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click on "manage your Apple ID". Connect with current ID.
    4. Where it says "Apple ID and primary e-mail address" and give your email ID address, click on 'change '.
    5. Enter your new address, and then click "save changes".
    6. Now, you will need to go to each of your devices and log in Preferences system (or settings) > iCloud - "Disconnect" on a Mac, "Delete this account" on an iOS device (this will not delete the account of the server).
    7. Then reconnect you with your new code. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you disconnect, but reappear when you log in.

    I have re-iterate: before you begin, turn off 'Find my Mac' (or other) or you need support services.

    GOLD: do you hear the name that appears at the top of your messages in the forum, in this case probably your real name? You can not change this. Only hosts can change, and they will therefore only in cases where it poses a security risk. If you think that this is the case, say so, here I or someone will pass information about guests: it is up to them what they do.

  • How can I change my Apple ID to my email to iCloud

    I can't seem to figure out how to change my Apple ID current, which is gmail to my address of e-mail iCloud instead. Isn't this possible? The only solution I see is to create a new Apple ID, then enter my email to iCloud. If I don't have that is there a way to simply transfer all the information Gmail Apple ID for the new iCloud one?

    You can do none of this, I'm afraid. You can change the email address that is your Apple ID to another address non-Apple, but you cannot change it to your iCloud address (which is an Apple ID itself). And you are unable to use this address iCloud in conjunction with any other Apple ID.

  • How can I change ID Apple on an iPhone?

  • How can I change the Apple ID for updating applications on Mac?

    So I got this Mac at the time, but now my mother to use it now. She got a user of his and my user is sitting here, I use it frequently.
    The problem is each time an update is needed, the computer asks my Apple ID and not my mother. How can I do so that she can use his Apple ID to update the applications (and possible updates OS as well)? I mean by "applications" pre-installed software Apple, like Safari and whatnot.

    You can not. If you need this Mac to be registered with your mother, you will need to erase the HARD drive and start over. You will need to put in place using his Apple ID. And then, she will need to buy a software it wants from the Mac App Store with its own Apple ID.

    Contents of OS X and Mac App Store can only update the Apple ID bought.

  • I have two apple ID.  How can I change one to match each other

    My id from Apple iTunes on my iPhone 5 s is not in the format of the email.  The same apple ID in the e-mail format is used on my iMac and iTunes on the iMac.    How can I change the apple on the iPhone ID to match the id on my iMac.

    You can not have two accounts with the same primary e-mail address, each account must have a unique id (and accounts cannot be merged, content remain tied to the account that has downloaded).

    If you want to disconnect an account on your phone and then tap on it in settings > iTunes & App Store and tap "logout" on the context menu, and you can then sign in with a different account

    (If this account is a former AOL user name account so that they no longer exist, support for them is completed at the end of March last year).
