Did you change the Apple ID and password for your existing account, or did you create a NEW Apple ID and passcode? Either way, you must log out of everything on your iPhone (iCloud, iTunes & App Store, FaceTime, Messages, Game Center), then log in with the new Apple ID and passcode.


However, there are special cases:

  • If you changed the Apple ID and passcode for an existing account you must change it back to the old one to log out if iCloud, then change it back to the new one.
  • If you created a new account all of the purchases from the old account will have to be re-purchased, as apps are forever timed to the account they were purchased with.
