How do I switch my iphone 4s from one apple id to another apple id?

How can I switch my phone from one Apple ID to another Apple ID and keep all my apps/information?
I want to use the same ID between my ipod and iphone.
Is this possible?

I'm assuming each device uses its own icloud account and you want them both to use the same account, but not lose data from the device you will do the switch on.  If this is the case you need to copy the data from the "old" account to the other account ....
When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. 
When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. 
After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc.  Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there.  These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
NOTE:  Photos in the photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the new account.  It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch.

  • How can I transfer all iTunes purchases from one apple id to another

    How can I transfer all iTunes purchases from one apple id to another?

    Don't agree. I have two accounts, one for work which I set up years ago and bought a few tracks. I've recently bought iPhone and iPad and created a home ID and wanted to transfer the old purchaces. Everyone says it can't be done, but I've done it.
    1. on the iPhone/iPad change your "store" Apple ID to the one you want ot transfer from.
    2. go into iTune on the device and download the purchaces.
    3. on you PC/Mac change the iTunes login to the same as the device's ID
    4. sync your device
    5. change both ID's back and the purchaces stay on both iTunes and your device.
    Delmar,
    The procedure you describe is putting content from two different IDs into a single library, which can readily be done.
    However, each item of purchased content will still be tied to the ID from which it was originally purchased, and they will be treated separately for purposes of Cloud, Match, Purchase History, etc.

  • How do I transfer files and documents from one user account to another?

    How do I transfer documents and files from one user account to another?

    You haven't understood me. Follow these steps:
    1. Log in the user where are the files you want to transfer, and open a Finder window.
    2. In Finder, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type /Users/Shared. Now you're on Shared folder, so leave that window.
    3. Open a new Finder window without closing the old one, go to the folder with the files you want to transfer, and copy them to Shared folder.
    4. After copying the files to Shared folder, go to  > Log Out, and log in the other user.
    5. Repeat the step 2, and you will get access to the transferred files. Now, you can open them directly from this folder, or you can copy them to a folder on your user folder

  • HT1420 how do i move a purchased song from one apple account to another

    how do i move a purchased song from one apple account to another

    The short answer is that you can't.  Purchases are tied to the AppleID used to buy them.  AppleID's cannot be merged, and the content cannot be transferred.

    hi!
    Define the logical system names in both the systems.
    Logical system names :SAP001
    SAP002
    SAP001 FOR 001 CLIENT
    SAP002 FOR 002 CLIENT
    These two logical system definitions should be present in both the systems.
    Assign the logical systems to the client. (in both the systems)
    Assign SAP001 to 001 CLIENT
    Assign SAP002 to 002 CLIENT
    you can See these in transaction SALE.
    After this define the rfc DESTINATION IN sm59. (in both the systems)
    In 001 client create the RFC destination name SAP002
    In the tab log on security, give the user name and password and client of the 002 client and save it.
    Similarly do the reverse in the 002 Client.
    In 001 client create the port.(Transaction WE21)
    Specify the RFC destination name as SAP002.
    Now you can define the ports, (both the systems)
    Create the partner profile for partner(ie gve logical system name of partner) , so give as SAP002.
    partner profile in both the systems.
    Now create the distribution model in BD64 and goto edit>model view>distribute.
    The same model view will be visible n distributed to the partner system also..which in this case is sap002.
    U may trigger the idoc from we19 and chk its status in we05.
    Please let me know if you need further info on this.

  • HT2736 How can I transfer a gift balance from one apple id to another?

    I have changed iphones and created a new apple ID.  How can I transfer a gift card balance from one apple ID to another.  I tried using Itune Gift but it requires the use of a credit card not a gift card.  Any ideas?

    You can't currently transfer an account's balance from one account to another, nor can you use it to gift content. You shoudl be able to use your old account on your new phone, it's generally best just to have the one iTunes account

  • How do I move an iTunes library from one external drive to another?

    I need to move my iTunes library from one external disk to another, because the original disk is about to fail. So, I went into iTunes Perferences --> Advanced, and set the library to a new, empty folder on the new drive.
    Nothing changed. I expected all my music to vanish from iTunes, so that I would have to re-import it. However, all the music remained, still on the old disk. At this point, if I were to recreate the library on the new disk, I would have all of my music twice.
    Is it possible to move an iTunes library from one external drive to another, or am I stuck with my original choice until I buy a new machine? If I can move it, can one of you clever folks explain how it could be done?

    However, those are all dealing with old versions of iTunes that still contained the Advanced --> Consolidate Library command which is no longer part of the app. (I'm on iTunes 10.6.1.)
    Consolidate is still part of iTunes.
    It is in iTunes menu File > Library > Manage library > Consolidate.
    The article you linked to is old and it is (and was) a hacky way of doing it.
    Just copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to new location, hold Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) when launching iTunes.
