I recently bought an iPad2 and iPhone4 and asked to create an Apple id. Then,i sent the iPad to my son in the Philippines as Christmas gift. He changed the Apple id and password and used his own and naturally,that changes the iPhone’s also. And now,i want to have my own Apple id for my iPhone. How can i change/create a new Apple id without affecting the iPad’s?

So it sounds like your son didn’t change the Apple ID, but kept using it, but altered some of the things about it. If he created his own Apple ID and changed the iPad’s setting to use that, then you could keep using your iPhone.
Or, you should simply create your own Apple ID and change your iPhone to use that one.
Either way, one of you needs to create a second ID and change your device to use that ID, instead of sharing a single ID.
You can create a new one here:

An Apple ID is very important. It is connected to lots of things: iCloud (mail, calendar, contacts), iTunes purchases, app store purchases, iBooks, etc. So be careful when making these changes. Make sure whoever creates a new one changes everything on their device to reflect using that new ID. Look in Settings for iCloud, Mail, Calendar, Contacts, iTunes, and the App Store app.
Thanks a lot for your help,Gary! More power!!!!
This raises a question for me. I have two apple ids that I have used in the past (I know – not a good idea – but I had no idea that we would be dealing with the iCloud in the future). My question is “with my MBP, iPhone and iPad is it going to be a problem that I have made app and music purchases with both ids.” I purchased 1Password Pro for the iPad and iPhone with my secondary iTunes id because it had money in it, but now I want to use my primary id from now on with all devices. Have I mucked things up too badly?
Just pick one ID and use that moving forward for everything. You should still be able to use the apps you got from your other ID, though you may need to switch to that other ID to updates or such.
Thanks Gary
I bought this new iphone last month from Mumbai, but the thing is that apple is already there in as X, everytime when password is asked I give the new password I create but couldn’t open it.
You need to remove that Apple ID. Simply log out of it in what ever app or setting is asking. Check through all your settings and Sign Out wherever you see it.
How do I register my apple Id
What do you mean by “register” — register with what? What, exactly, are you trying to do?
It has someone else apple id on it but they don’t kno the password and now o can download apps
Sign out of their account (Settings, App Store, iTunes, etc) and then sign into yours or create one.
It says it hasn’t been used in the I tune store yet so it want let me download free apps do I have to buy a iTunes card or something
Call Apple or stop by and Apple store. You can get someone to assist you.
Ok I got my apple Id going but now I can’t down load apps because the person who had the phone apple Id comes up wen I try to download Apps wat do I do???
Go into the App Store app. Go to Featured. Scroll to bottom and you’ll see a button with the Apple ID. Tap on it and Sign Out. Then Sign In again with YOUR Apple ID.
How do I get an apple id Without a credit card. And can I download off the ap store with an I tunes account on the I phone 4
See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Not sure what you mean by your second question. You need an iTunes Account to use the app store on any device.
Want to create Apple ID in IPad
OK. Just go to any app that needs you to sign in (like the App Store app) and it will prompt you.
