I want to create a new apple account and switch my iPod Touch over to it. How can i do this without erasing all of the data?

I have an iPod Touch (4th generation) and found i would like to switch it over to a new apple account. Is there anyway for this to happen without deleting any data?

Yes, just go to Settings>App and iTunes store and sign out of existing ID and sing into the other.
The Apple ID is also used in:
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>iCloud
- Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Note:
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

I backed up files onto an external hard rive form my old PC. Now I want to retrieve the files to put on my mac but it is telling me to format it to Mac. How can I do this without erasing all of the data on my hard drive?

Your drive was used with a PC and formatted NTFS which is proprietary Microsoft format.
You need to install a third party program that will read the NTFS format.
There is various software from PARAGON, Tuxera and NTFS-3G
When you get the data off and have verified it to be good, reformat the drive either HFS+ for Mac use only, or for Mac and PC use then MSDOS (FAT32) for under 4GB files (best) or exFAT (for larger than 4GB files) is proprietary and Microsoft is appling for a patent, which would likely mean OS X won't be allowed to read it anymore without a licensing fee and you'l have to pay another third party software company to read the format, just like NTFS is.
The less you have to rely upon third party sources to read your drives the better, this way if you have a issue and need to read the drive on another machine you don't need the software, and a internet connection and a credit card and...and...and...

I need to back up and sync multiple iPhones to a single iMac. Each iPhone has a separate Apple ID and the data from each iPhone needs to be backed up separately from the others. How can I do this without getting all of the contacts, etc. mixed? Tnx

I need apps to change to new email account that shows in settings ! HELP!!!!! Does anyone know how to fix this ?

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

I have a ipad with all of my songs on it, my old computer recently shut down and now i want to download all of my songs on my ipad to my new itunes. how can i do this without erasing all of my music?

my computer recently shut down and all of my itunes was lost. My ipad still has all of my songs on it. How can i download all of my music onto my new itunes. would i need a different acount?

You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

I've been using my mom's iTunes account for years but now I want to switch to another account. How can I do this without losing all of my pictures, music, and apps?

Hi, I want to get my new PC to recognize my Cannon multipass C-2500 machine. How can I do this?

Hi, I want to get my new PC to recognize my Cannon multipass C-2500 machine. How can I do this? I searched the list of printers and find a lot of Cannon inkjet references on my new Gateway computer but I don't find that one. I obviously want my machine to relate to my printer. Does the linkage require updated cannon printer drivers? Thanks for your answers on how to make them compatible.

Hi waynefrye,
The MultiPASS C2500 was release several years prior to Windows XP. While the printer can be installed on an XP or earlier system (official drivers are only available for ME and earlier), I'm guessing that you are using either Windows 8 or Windows 7 since this is a new computer.
The MultiPASS C2500 is not compatible with these new operating systems. Since your device is not supported under the current operating system, you are eligible for Canon's Loyalty Program. This option allows you a one-time opportunity to purchase a new or refurbished product that uses Canon’s next generation technology and carries a limited manufacturer’s warranty. To help you get up and running quickly, we also offer free ground shipping (if the order is completed by 4:00 PM EST). If you would like to take part in this option, please call our Sales Department at (800)OK-CANON (800-652-2666) seven days a week, 8am to Midnight.

Can I create a new itunes account and synch my iPod to it?

I have an iTunes account, but have only bought music and apps on it for my son's iPod Touch.
Now I have my own iPod Touch and we want to have separate accounts. I already synched my new iPod to my own account - the one where all his music is.
What can I do at this point to let my son have his own account with all the music/apps he has purchased?
Can I create a new account and synch my iPod to that? Can I change the email address on the first account to my son's email?

Yes but you will need to authorize your computer for purchases on the old iTunes account.

I want to create a new Apple ID and delete my old one, what about my purchases?

I've purchased some subscriptions that I did not mean to and I would not like them to show up on my iTunes purchase history. While I know we can hide the app from saying purchased, the subscriptions seem to be under my account permanently, even the expired ones. I've looked endlessly and there is no way to make an expired subscription "disappear" from my account, so I am willing to delete it and create a new one. My concern is all the music, movies, and apps I've purchased. How do I treat these? Will they sync to my phone seamlessly?

You can't delete an account, only iTunes Support can potentially do so, but you would lose all of the account's purchases if they do so - all downloads are tied to the account that downloaded them, they cannot be transferred to another account.
If you do create a new account then there are instructions on this page of how to do so without giving credit card details : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method.

I was sharing apple id with husband on our iPhones but now we want to each have our own, how can i do this without having all his info on his phone be lost?

When husband and i got our iPhones we shared the same Apple ID but not that we have added an iPad and Mac he wants his own apple ID how can I change the apple id/icloud to his own without deleting all his phone and resetting?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You both need your own iCloud accounts. I would set up the second iCloud account and get all the data showing in both accounts, before trying to delete anything. You will need to delete the unwonted contacts and appointments etc manually.

I deactivated my apple id and want to add another id to my icloud acc,how can I do this without deleting all my data from my ph?

There is an option to delete the account, but then it says it will delete all my data, which I dont want to happen.

When you delete icloud account off your phone it will ask you if you want to keep or delete the data. You will choose to keep and will be ok. The only thing that will reset is photostream, so if that is a concern, back up your pictures.

How do I sync my iPod to a new computer without erasing all of the data and starting my library over?

I had a PC that crashed and recently bought a MacBook to replace it. When I tried to import the music from my iPod to my MacBook I got the error message that iPods can only be synced to one computer at a time and I was then given two options: either erase the data currently on my iPod and allow it to sync to the new computer or transfer previous purchases. I cicked transfer previous purchases but not all of my music transferred. How can I get ALL of my music on my iPod to transfer to my MacBook??

I found this post from a long time ago:
iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
