if I change my apple id will I loose all purchased music and videos?

Greetings elalewis, 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
If you would like to change the email address that you use as your Apple ID, you can do so without losing purchased content. Note that email addresses ending with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com are already Apple IDs, and cannot be changed.  
See this article for the complete steps to change the email address used as your Apple ID:

Sincerely,

  • Will i loose all my music and pictures and apps if i use a different computer

    will i loose all my music and pictures and apps if i use a different computer?

    In order to use a different computer than what the device was originally synced with, you would need to use a 3rd party application to back the information up, prior to syncing with iTunes.
    If you try to sync on a different computer than usual, you will get a message stating that it will wipe all data out and start from scratch... and it will erase everything.

  • If i update my iphone 3 will i loose all my pictures and videos...?

    If i update my iPhone 3G will i loose all my pictures and videos...?

    You shouldn't, but all of this should be on your computer anyway.
    You should not update/upgrade/restore/etc without making sure that everything is backed up.

  • HT1918 If I delete my Itunes acct and reopen, will I loose all my music and apps?

    No matter what I try, I cannot get my iphone itunes email to match what I have changed it to in itunes. I have spent all weekend trying all I read how to.

    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

  • I really need emergency iphone help- please- it has gone into restoration mode and wont come out unless i click restore- if i do will i loose all my photos and videos etc? please help!!!

    i recently plugged my iphone4 into my laptop to sync, when i plugged it in, itunes told me that i needed to update my software, so i clicked up date and walked awayfrom my computer leaving it to do the rest, but by the time i came back to my laptop 2-3 hours later i had realized that it has run out of charge and because of it my phone had gone into retoration mode- and the only way to fix it was to press restore. what do i do? do i click restore or will that take my phone back to factory settings as i have a tonne of photos and videos etc that i have not backed up yet?
    what should i do anny coments or ideas please let me know!

    The first step in the upgrade process is a backup.
    Did iTunes not create a new backup when you first connected it?
    You really should be syncing your device and copying pictures off of it on a regular basis.
    Starting an upgrade without first syncing and copying the pictures off is not a bright idea.
    At this point, you only option is to restore.
    Also, in the future, ensure your laptop is plugged into external power before starting upgrades.

  • IF I RESET MY IPOD WILL I LOOSE ALL THE MUSIC AND PICTURES UP LOADED

    PLEASE LET ME KNOW ..... I AM BEGININ TO THINK THIS IPOD VIDEO WAS NOT A GOOD I DEA I CANT HEAR MY MUSIC AT ALL CUASE IT DOES NOT PLAY JUST STAY IDDLE ON SONG THAT I PIC W/ ALBUM PIC AND SONG DESCRIPTON...... WHAT SHOULD I DO

    Restting the iPod (Press and hold Select and Menu for ~10 seconds) will not erase anything ffrom the iPod.
    Restoring will erase everything on theiPod.
    But since you have everything in iTunes, you can reload it.

    No.
    Just update your current AppleID, do not create new account.

  • If I make a new Apple ID will I loose all of my apps

    If I make a new Apple ID will I loose all of my apps?

    The apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased.  Your computers will need to be authorized for that account and you will have to use that account to upsate the apps.

  • Will I loose all my music after updating to OS 4?

    I wnat to update my ipod touch 3 gen, but I changed my computer a month ago and lost my whole library!!! But it's still in my ipod, so I wonder if I update the thing will I loose all my music allready on it?
    thanx in advance!

    Your iPod Touch will be erased when you update to the new iOS4 and synced with what is in your iTunes library, You should consult the following post for some useful hints on what to do.

    It is important to backup. Purchased songs, videos, iPod Games, and albums can be downloaded only once.

    See:
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
    Basically you will have to transfer its contents to the new computer and then restore the iPod and then resync. An iPod can only sync to one iTunes library.
    BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum.

    Hello Footr,
    The following article provides the answer to your question, as well as steps for completely removing iTunes and related components:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • My i tunes is saying corrupt and to reinstall. How do i do this and will i loose all my music after a reinstall

    my i tunes, all of the sudden is saying corrupt and to reinstall, how do i go about this, and will i loose all my music. Why did this happen? i am using a dell laptop.

    By the way, this forum is for questions about Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Mac systems, and hence not the best place for your question. If you need further assistance, I'd suggest asking in the iTunes for Windows forum.
    Regards.
