If I change my Apple ID, can I get my iTune and App purchases transferred from the old to the new ID?

I have a child who is now of age to create an Apple ID.  If I create a new Apple ID, can I tranfer the iTune and App Store purchases from my existing Apple ID to the new one for my child?

No, it's not currently possible to transfer content from one account to another account - all items remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded them, so they will remain tied to your account.
As long as your account is authorised on the computer's iTunes that he/she syncs to, and those items are in its library, then he/she should be able to continue to have them on their device (though only your account will be able to download updates to those apps)

  • I can't get into iTunes or apps on my iPad or iPhone. It never excepts my password and tells me to reset my password. Well I have changed my password about 15 times and still I have trouble entering iTunes or apps.

    I am having problems getting into iTunes and Apps. The message says for security you must request a new password. I have changed my password so many times I have given up on iTunes and Apps

    Don't fight it
    Walk it into the nearest Apple Store and ask for help there....it's their job

  • HT204053 My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

    The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud.  With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated.  There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

    I have had Adobe XI for about two years and My harddrive just crashed. My backups were part of the failure so I can't get it back. I purchased it from a third part supplier and it was a download. I need to find out how to get it restored. I can send screen shots of all of the drive location where the drive is still good and I can see my Adobe Acrobat pro information, but the download itself is missing. NEXT STEP?

    If you are talking about Reader (you did post in the Reader forum), then just download http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise. However Reader is free not purchasable. You can download a trial then install using your serial number, which if you didn’t register or write down somewhere you will be out of luck to track down.

  • Had to do complete system restore - how can I get my library and apps back?

    I recently had to do a complete system restore on my laptop. How can I get my iTunes library back, including apps? I haven't updated my iPod Touch in a while because I don't want everything on it to be erased.
    Thanks!

    You restore them from the backups you made before you did a complete system restore.
    You do make regular backups, especially before you wipe your system, correct?
    haven't updated my iPod Touch in a while because I don't want everything on it to be erased.
    You can get everything off your iPod touch
    See this post by Zevoneer -> http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11646661&#11646661
    Make backups after you get them loaded.

  • Can't get rid of an app's icon from the menu bar (the app is already deleted)

    i deleted an app the old fashion way (1st drag it to the trash and 2nd empty trash). That App was Logmein. The problem is that now i have logmein's icon at my desktop's menu bar and can't get rid of it. Please help

    You didn't delete all the application, of course.  (There was an uninstaller, but I guess it's gone now.)  You could try a search with command F for all Logmein stuff, make sure to include system files in your search.  Maybe have a look in /Library/Application Support .
    This might help.

  • If I change my apple ID can i still access my music, apps

    If I change my Apple ID do I still have access to my music. apps & video purchases?

    - 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.
    Also note the 90 limit for redownload purchases.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I just updated my Apple TV software and now I can't get to iTunes and the menu keeps going back to basic menu.  Software update fail!

    Updated my software when prompted three days ago and as soon as the update was finished the basic screen came up with main menu.  However, when I selected "Podcasts", "TV" or "Movies" the screen goes black and the same home screen comes up again.  The only things that work are HuluPlus and Netflix and all non-iTunes icons.  I can't buy anything from the iStore so if Apple wants me to keep iShopping at the iStore and take my iMoney you might want to make a patch available quickly.

    I just did the update to version 5.2 on our ATV2 and now I'm having the exact same problem as the OP- all attempts to access any iTunes services i.e. Movies or TV result in dropping back to the ATV Main menu.   Per Winston's suggestion, I logged out of iTunes and then tried to log back in.  I am getting a message "the server is not responding- please try again later".
    FWIW- all my non-iTunes services on the ATV are working fine- i.e. Netflix and YouTube.
    Sounds like the update has overwhelmed the Apple servers.

  • HT5796 If I change my Apple ID will I lose my music and apps?

    I'm planning on changing my Apple ID but I'm worried I'll lose my music and apps and anything else I did while using my previous Apple ID. That's why I wanted to know if I'll lose the apps and music I had downloaded and paid for. 

    You won't, but they won't be transferred to the new Apple ID afterwards; the applications will need to be updated from the old one, and you may need to be signed into the iTunes Store with it to make in-app purchases from them.

  • Ipad Can't connect to itunes and app store after 7.0.2 update

    Hi. Since i've updated my ipad 3 to 7.0.2 i can't seem to download and update apps. I've tried signing in but it won't let me. :( Is there a way to fix this? I don't want to restore to factory default since it will wipe out some in-game purchases.
    I already power started my ipad several times,, and sometimes when i power start, the sound changes, its so annoyingly loud!  Like the click sound is squeaking. Its like broken blown speaker. But it goes away when i restart.
    I don't think it's my internet connection, because i can surf smoothly with other devices. Please help me with this. :(

    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    Then restart the iPad.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then swipe the slider to power off.
    Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Then try logging in to the iTunes Store.
    If that didn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    (no data is lost due to a reset)
    Then try again.
