Bought my 3G on launch day, brought it home and synced it with my Mac mini which was already set up with my iTunes account info... Been syncing them just fine since then... I decided I wanted a Mac laptop so this weekend my husband and I went out and bought an Air... He had a regular MacBook that I was going to inherit and the Air was gonna be his so he went through and set up iTunes with his account... He later decided he wanted to keep his MacBook so I took the Air...
I used an external HD to copy my iTunes folder off the mini, I deleted the iTunes folder on the Air and I pasted over the folder from external HD... I opened iTunes and the store still showed his ID so I went through and changed it to my ID and authorized the computer on my account... After that I synced my iPhone with the Air... The backup took FOREVER but the couple apps I downloaded between the last sync with the mini and the first sync with the Air showed up on the Air and all the apps still showed up on my iPhone so I thought all was well (I did not try opening any of them at that point, just saw that they were there)...
All I had used so far today had been the built-in stuff like Mail, Safari, Notes, etc. but then I went to download a new app from the app store and when it asked for a PW, I saw that it had my husband's iTunes ID... I was kinda annoyed but figured I would try to fix it when I get home from work... I next tried to use one of the apps I got from the App Store and it went right back to the home screen... Tried another app and the same thing happened.. None of my downloaded apps are working now... I saw other people complaining about losing their iPod music/video so I opened the iPod and sure enough, everything is gone... WTF!!
Did I somehow get my iPhone tied to his account or something?? I don't know that we have any apps in common so I can't just try opening something that should work with his ID too... Any idea what I can do to fix this??? TIA
