    Hi Roziallen,

     

    Having the correct Apple ID on your device can help streamline the use of the device. I would be happy to help you get this resolved.

    Sign in with a different Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch goes over all the steps you would need to do to get the correct Apple ID on your device. 

    The section I would like to call your attention to is "iTunes, iBooks, and App Store"

    iTunes, iBooks, and App Store

    1. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Store. 
    2. Tap your Apple ID. If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
    3. Tap Sign Out.
    4. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store.
    5. Tap Sign In, then enter your Apple ID and password.

    If you changed your Apple ID to share content with a family member or because you have multiple Apple IDs, try Family Sharing instead. With Family Sharing, you can link your family's Apple IDs into a group that can share purchases, photos, and more.

    Cheers
