Original Source: How To Change Apple ID on iPhone

Having an iPhone or iPod and not having apps like iTunes just don’t go together. You use your Apple ID to access such apps to make full use of your device and why shouldn’t you?

You can browse through a multiple of exciting apps on the App Store: more than 108 of these listed in 14 different categories.

Unfortunately at times you find out that the app you really wanted, whether you are buying it or it’s free, is only available in some other country. What would you do if you really wanted that app? You would create a US iTunes account for US-only apps and this article will teach you how.

You will find it helpful for altering your existing ID or to switch over to some other ID.

Steps for your Device

Firstly, you must authenticate the account that is presently in use by you for accessing the apps. In your iPod or iPhone , go to iTunes or App Store and reach the lower part of the page. In App Store, if the app product page is open then return to the main screen or you can hit the Categories or Top 25. It will show you the three Top categories for apps: Top Paid, Top Free and Top Grossing. Reach down again. You must have had to make an Apple ID if you ever bought an app or got a free app.

At the AppStore or iTunes, you will see your ID at the bottom of the page.

After you have confirmed what ID is in use, go to Home and start Settings .In settings go down and tap on Store.

Out of the two options you see, Apple ID and Sign Out, if you select Apple ID you will see your settings for payment details like billing address, phone number etc. for this account that you are using. It will also show you the country whose iTunes Store you are buying from and you can change the country/region by following the instructions on your screen and agreeing to the terms and conditions. You might have to alter your billing details.

Tap your existing Apple ID and you can change your ID email when it gives you your email, password etc.

If you want to sign in with another Apple Id that you have, just go back and Sign Out. Now you can sign back in with the other ID.

Otherwise, you will be automatically asked to Sign In when you buy apps or iTunes next time after you have signed out.

Steps for iTunes on Desktop

If luckily, you are operating from your desktop or laptop where you have the luxury of a keyboard then you can easily change your Apple ID and associated billing information by opening iTunes and going to Store and click View My Account. It will ask you for your email.

It will ask you for your password for confirmation. Once through, it will give you all your Apple ID details that you can then change.

If you don’t have the access to your computer then you can go to appleid.apple.com to handle or modify your information.

Do you see those friends sprawled all over your news feed who you haven’t talked to in ages and never want to either? Bet you can’t unfriend them because it seems too offensive for them on your behalf. Well, you don’t need to live with this silent suffering. There is a way out for you, yes, you read it right. You can unfriend them from Facebook and it won’t be the usual unfriending ceremony you have been avoiding!

Steps:

1. Keep that person and the updates of that person from invading your newsfeed. It was always under your nose! Just click “x” or the little “v” in front of the update and select “Unsubscribe”. You are done with the job already! 
2. In some cases, hiding from such a person is equally important especially when that friend has an annoying habit of commenting at everything you post and that usually lands you in discomfort. You can’t become invisible in reality no matter how much you want it but you surely can on Facebook. You just need to do some changes with your privacy settings and you can keep that friend from seeing certain parts of your profile. Just two things to do:

Go to your privacy page and click “Customize Settings”.  You will see all the things you can change your settings for. For each of it, click “Customize” from the menu.

In the space provided under “Hide this from”, type the name of that friend and hit Save Setting.

Note that:

Though your friend would not be informed of these settings but they still might find out. How? If you have mutual friends and they comment on your photo, that photo will appear on your mutual friends’ wall but when this friend tries to access that photo then they will be told that they can’t view it. Here, they might wonder why.

If they are being accessibly mean or cause of hurt, then just unfriend them.
