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.

My husband purchased my apps, i now what the apps i have under my name - can i do this and how?
All iTunes Store purchases remain permanently tied to the account that purchased them. Your device can hold protected content from up to five accounts, but updating apps from multiple accounts is more of an effort than working with a single account.

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

You won't be able to update your purchases. You will have to re purhcase apps, music, etc. using the new Apple iD.
FYI ... Media cannot be transferred from one account to another and Apple ID accounts cannot be merged. -
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!

My ipod classic is still working, its not frozen or anything. It just won't sync up with my macbook and itunes. I recently realized that I had previously connected it to a PC just to charge it then it when i tried to connect it to my mac, it wouldn't sync up. Can someone help me figure this out? I don't want to lose all of my data though, like music, photos, or videos. Any help is appreciated! Thank you for your time!
okay, I don't know about the rest, but about the songs never actually loading onto your iPod, I found in another discussion how to fix that. I'm using Windows 7, so I don't know if the steps are the same, but the end result is the same. So go into your Start menu, then into accessories, right click 'Command Prompt' and click 'Run as administrator'. Then type in the following: netsh winsock reset then press Enter. After a few seconds it should tell you to to restart your computer for changes to take effect. Restart your computer, then restart iTunes, then everything should be working fine. It still takes forever sometimes to update the iPod, but eventually it will work. I've had to do this multiple times, so I'd suggest copying & pasting this solution into a notepad or Word document and saving it on your computer, so you don't have to go through the discussions again to find it. This tends to happen to me nearly every day unfortunately Hope this fixes that problem, but I'm not having any of the other problems fortunately, except for removing the artwork of the songs it updates without me asking it too. PS I think my problem may be with iOS 5, because iTunes 10.5 came out before iOS 5, and I think everything was fine before I updated my iPod, but I really don't know where the problem lies

help me please..my last ipod that had this book on it was stolen and now i cant find it...its a book that i love
Hello marksman23,
If the audiobook was purchased from the iTunes Store, I'd suggest checking the 'Purchased' category in the iTunes Store to see if it can be redownloaded. The following article provides further instructions for both iTunes on a computer and for iPhones/iPads/iPods, as well.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

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. -
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.

When I try sharing to my apple devices from my final cut pro x, I keep getting a "Quicktime Error:-50". How can I fix this?
You can search the entire internet by putting that error message into google, see what other discussions appear.
With only the little information you've provided, I'd trash Compressor and download it again from the App Store.
You could share the timeline out to MPEG2 and then import that into iDVD, if you have it, or Toast.
Given an hour or three, someone with better suggestions will soon chime in. -

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
one more bug in a complicated system I guess -
My family has multiple phones on one apple ID. Is there a way of switching it so we each have our own ID without losing everything?
Hi ndmulderx,
If I understand correctly, your family has been sharing a single Apple ID and now you want to give everyone an individual Apple ID without losing any content. You can do this with Family Sharing. The article below provides details about the feature which will allow you to share purchases between family members, create shared photo albums and much more.
Family Sharing
