Need a new Apple id for my daughter, but have a question first.

My daughter had an ipod touch and we used my wife's apple id to put songs on it.
Now we just bought her a new iphone and think its time she had her own apple id.  If she creates one, can we still put her music from her ipod onto her phone?
Thanks for any help.

Hi CMoe,
If the music purchased for your daughter is housed in the same iTunes Library that your music is in, and the same library that she will be putting her purchases in (i.e., a single iTunes library on a single computer), then she can download any music in that library to her devices.
My husband and I share a single iTunes Library on his Macbook Pro. He logs onto iTunes and buys stuff. I log onto iTunes and buy stuff. All of the music in our library is set up to go into Smart Playlists so we don't have all the music on everything. I have smart Playlists for Christmas, for my Nano, for my husband's iPod, for my iPad, etc.
When we plug in our various devices for syncing, we go to the Music tab and tell it what Playlists we want loaded onto that particular device.
Since music isn't updated, there really is no need to know or use the purchasers ID (unless a re-download was needed). The only thing that I have found that requires me to use his ID is updating apps.
So, if you all are sharing the same Library, then she can continue to get any music you purchased for her when she syncs her device to that Library.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB

    Hello, Wyseup. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Most likely this email address has been attempted to be setup as an Apple ID at some point.  You can reset your Apple ID password via the steps in the first article below.  If you do not have access to the email account, need assistance or are not receiving the password reset link, see the second article.

  • Do I need a new Apple ID for my iPad Air?

    Hi!  I have a MacBook, OS 10.5.8.  I have just bought an iPad Air.  I know I can't synch the two devices, as my OS is too old, but do I need a new Apple ID in order to use itunes on the new iPad?  Thank you.

    Thank you, Niel.
    So ... will it not get confused if I buy an app for my iPad one day, and a song from itunes for my MacBook another?
    I am intending to keep the stuff in my itunes on my MacBook and still access it. 

  • How do i set up a new apple id for my wife but still share apps from my account

    i need to set up a new apple id for my wifes i phone but i dont want to loose her information ie cotacts & pics that are on her phone at the moment, up to now we have been sharing an apple id but i cant seem to i message her without her reply coming back to me from myself, can anybody please help???

    All you need is the 99 cent Facetime for Mac application on your iMac.  Get it here:  http://www.apple.com/mac/facetime/
    Instructions for setting up your iPad are in Chapter 7 of the iPad2 iOS4.3 User Guide

  • HT3529 i (the parent) wants to keep my apple id for my stuff but have my sons have their own apple ids for their ipod touch's.  how do i do that?

    does anyone have a good way to do this?

    I have the same question.  My son and daughter both received iPod Touch devices.  I did not want to create a new Apple Id for each of them,  I want to manage any application aquisitions and do not to have repurchase numerous apps I bought over last year on my iPhone for the kids to play with.  Bottom line, is it impossible for for my kids to have these devices with the same Apple ID as my iPhone/iTunes account?

  • HT5622 Do we need to make a new Apple ID for every iPhone we have?

    I seem to be getting family members conversations and also when I send a message it gets sent back to me in text message as well as go to who I sent to. Was just curious as to if we all made our own Apple ID if this would be corrected?

    RECEIVING MESSAGES INTENDED FOR OTHER DEVICES
    This occurs if you are sharing the same Apple ID for imessages.
    If you are receiving imessages intended for other devices you can fix this by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
    1. Uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both devices if they are iPhones; or
    2. On one of the devices go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign in with a different Apple ID.  Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for the iTunes & App store for purchasing if you wish; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud and other services.
    To prevent merging of your calendars and contacts when syncing calendars and contacts if you are using the same Apple ID for the iCloud account, be sure to set up separate iCloud accounts on each phone with separated IDs.  Remember that if you change your ID in iTunes & App store, that apps and other purchased content is forever linked to the ID that was used to download the apps and the apps can only be updated with the ID that was originally used to download them.  To download content purchased previously downloaded with a particular ID then that ID needs to be used to download past purchases.  If you want all apps to be connected with the same ID you need to delete those apps downloaded with the old ID and download them again with your current and if the apps in question were paid apps then you need to pay again.

  • Do I need a new Apple ID for my second and third apple computers ....

    I just bought a second and third apple computer for my team mates for my business, do I need to have separate Apple ID in order for my emails NOT to drop on their computers ? I didn't think about this before I registered them with apple and now I need to undo this so my emails aren't on those two computers...how do we use the iCloud but also not have my email accounts on their computers.. I just want their email only on their computer

    Typically you have an Apple ID for each individual.  But if you do this, you can't share documents on the same iCloud account - it's not designed to be used this way.
    If you sign in with the same iCloud account on each machine and use iCloud for email/calendar/contacts/messages then YES everyone will see each other's email and calendar, etc.
    So you need to use separate iCloud accounts for each machine, and use something else (i.e. Dropbox or Box) to share files.

  • I created a new apple ID for my iPhone, but when i go to activate iCloud (for the first time) it says i need to sign up with my old ID. How do I use my new one?

    So I used to share an apple ID with my mom who also has an iphone, but i decided to make my own so that i could set up icloud with my mac. I created my own ID and activated it and all of that, but when i go to activate my iCloud, it tells me to check the email adress of the old ID. How do i activate it with my new ID?

    Providing your Apple ID is not a .me or a .Mac address, you can change it with Apple and continue to use your account.
    Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    Once who have done this you can then correct it on your mobile device.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    If however, your Apple ID was a .me or a .Mac address, then you will need to create a new account, follow the instructions above for deleting your account on your mobile device and then tap the "create Apple ID" button to create a new account.

  • Need advice on new hard drive for Time Machine, and have Firewire questions

    I have an Intel iMac 2.66GHz with 500GB internal drive. I am going to buy an OWC 1TB drive to use for Time Machine.
    I also have an older 160GB external drive with Firewire 400. I'd like to continue using it for extra storage, and would like both the iMac's internal drive and the 160GB external drive to be backed up to the new drive.
    OWC's 1TB drive is available with Firewire 400 & USB 2. For an additional $30, it will also have Firewire 800. If I get the Firewire 800 drive and daisy-chain the iMac > new 1TB drive > old 160GB drive, will the iMac to 1TB drive run at 800, or will the 160GB drive's limitation of Firewire 400 pull the speed of the whole connection down to 400? (If the latter is true, then it would be a waste of money to get Firewire 800.)
    Also, will it make much difference whether I use Firewire 800 or 400 for a drive dedicated to Time Machine?
    Finally, the 1TB drive with a 32MB cache costs $20 more than one with a 16MB cache. Is a 32MB cache worth the extra expense for using with Time Machine?
    Thanks!

    I believe it will operate the entire bus at the slowest speed, but can't say for sure.

    I went with the cheaper, smaller cache OWC drives for my backups on the theory that if caches speed repeated access of the same data, and a backup is always a single-pass stream of non-repeating data, then with a backup the data that goes in the cache doesn't need to be fetched again and therefore the cache isn't much help for backups. I'd love to hear if that's true.
    I didn't answer the one about FireWire 800 for Time Machine because my Time Machine backups are over the network to Time Capsule. However, having a faster Time Machine drive interface should be faster. FireWire 800 certainly speeds things up for non-Time Machine backup software like SuperDuper which I also use.

  • IPad 1- I bought the ipad 1 and made a new apple id for it. But, I am unable to download anything or even sign in it always says "Upgrade software". But its already the latest one 5.1.1! I tried signing in with my old apple id, it works

    This is my problem. Why doesnt it work with a new id but only for the old ones?!?

    This isn't about your ID. It's about the fact that most of the new apps available won't work for your old version of iOS. You can try downloading apps with iTunes, then if the developer supports it, you will be able to go to the App Store with the iPad and see a link to a legacy version of the app. Good luck to you.

  • I need to restore iphoto library from time machine, but have a question

    I need to rebuild my library but already have 5 libraries which are taking too much space on my HD to finish a complete rebuild. Is it safe to move those 5 libraries to the trash and restore the one from time machine???
    thanks in advance,
    Kari

    IF nothing goes wrong - hardware - software - human - then you will be fine
    Personally my photos are important to me and I'd purchase an external harddrive and backup everything to it first - then do the deletes/rebuild etc
    Then I would continue using the new EHD for a second backup using a clone package (Carbon Copy Cloner or SUperDuper)

  • Creating a new apple id for my wife

    I currently have one Apple ID and run iTunes on a Windows 7 PC. This is synced to 2 iPhones, 2 iPads and 2 iPods as well as 2 Apple TV's. All the Apps purchased, updated and shared between all the devices are controlled using iTunes depending on whose iphone etc is connected.
    This has worked quite successfully till now but if we use imessage on the phones it gets very confusing and for that reason I would like to set up a new Apple ID for my wifes iPhone and iPad. What I don't understand is the implications of this with regard to all the previously purchased Apps. Will she loose access to these when I sign in on iTunes to her new Apple ID. Are there any other issues I should be aware off before going down this route. Will all my music and films still be available for her to load on her iPhone and iPad ? Any advice and help much appreciated.

    Hello Primer Driver,
    Thanks for the question, and what a great question it is.
    You are absolutely right, there are some tweaks we will want to make to continue the configuration you have right now. My recommendation? Create a new Apple ID for your Wife, but only use this Apple ID for iMessage/FaceTime.
    There are four different accounts you can be signed into on an iOS device: iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and iTunes and App Stores. Theoretically, you could be signed into four separate accounts for each of these. For your situation, your Wife would only sign into iMessage and FaceTime with her account, and continue to use the family account for iTunes and App Stores.

  • Do I need a different apple id for each device? I have two iPads and an iPod but can only purchase things on the first one. When I go to verify the questions they say they are wrong.

    Do I need a different apple ID for each device I have? I have two iPads and an iPod but I can only make purchases with the first one I purchased. It tells me the security questions are wrong but I know they are not because I wrote them down. I have also reset them and my password once. Please help if you can

    You can not login into iTunes or the App Store using VPP credentials. You must purchase all apps/book/etc.  from the VPP website. Then you can redeem the codes thru itunes/app store or import the codes thru apple configurator. Here is the url for the VPP website: https://volume.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/login?cc=us
    (It will not affect any of the apps you already have but the id can only be used for VPP.)

  • HT1420 I need to authorize my computer for my daughter's new ipod touch but there is no Store menu or Advanced menu in the new version of iTunes I just downloaded today.  I can't see a way to do it.

    I need to authorize my computer for my daughter's new iPod Touch but in the new version of itunes that just upgraded to day there is no "store" menu or "advanced" menu that I can see and I can't see a way to do it.  So anything she buys with her i.d. won't transfer.  Help!

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
