When you own an iPad, it is synchronized through iTunes, which is configured to use an "Apple ID", without which you cannot purchase apps and other items from the iTunes Store. Our iPad Tutorial covers most other aspects of Apple's tablet, and this page will show you how to change the password associated with your iPad from the device itself - if you change your iTunes password without updating your credentials on the iPad, you will no longer be able to purchase new apps, books, songs, etc.
How do I change my iTunes password on iPad?
Follow these simple steps to update your iTunes password on iPad:
- Locate the "Settings" icon (the one with the gears picture), and tap on it.
- The Settings app will load, and list a series of options in the left column: tap on the "Store" category just above the Apps section. Your iPad will show "Apple ID: [you@email.com]" on the right, which is the email address currently associated with your iPad.
- Tap on your email address, and a dialog will show on screen: tap on the "View Apple ID" button, and your iPad will ask for your current password: type your latest password, not the old one, since it will "authenticate" (check your credentials) on Apple's live server - tap "OK".
- If you entered the correct password, you will see an "Account" dialog window float on your screen, with a summary of your current email address, payment and billing information, country, etc. Tap on the "Done" button, and you are done! Your iPad has automatically "memorized" the latest password you entered: if you try to purchase an app, everything will work as expected (though you may be asked once more to enter your password if you don't purchase something shortly after having updated your iTunes Store password).
Tip: if you need to change not only your iTunes Store password, but the email address as well (Apple ID, in other words), you will do it from the Account dialog covered above - tap on the current email address, and enter the new one.
Keep in mind that if you change the Apple ID associated with your iPad, you will not be able to keep your apps and content on the device without first synchronizing it through iTunes - this is too prevent "piracy" of paid content.
