Can I change my Apple ID and still keep the apps and stuff I have associated with that the old ID?

My friends can't FaceTime me because they are used to my old email address. I made a new Apple ID, but then I am worried if I change it now, the apps, videos, music, newsstands, and Game Center data will be erased. Can I change my apple ID with preventing this?

Yes you can change your Apple ID. Log into your account and change your email associated with the account. You however cannot create a new account and transfer the media.

  • Can i change my apple ID but still keep my purchases like music, series etc.

    i have had an apple id for a very long time but the email i signed up with got hacked and strangly i could still purchase stuff from itunes even though i cant access the email itself from hotmail . i would like to change my apple id to a new email and still keep my purchases from the old hotmail email is that possible if yes how ? and if no are there any other suggestions that might help me with this situation ?
    i would really appreciate the help since its been going on for a long time and i cant seem to solve it!

    You should be able to update the primary email address on your account either by logging into via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes (there should be an Edit button to the right of your id at the top of your account's page), or via this page : http://appleid.apple.com - if you have any iOS devices you might then need to log out of your account on them by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version for the account to be 'refreshed' on them. Updating the primary email address on an account shouldn't lose any of its purchases.
    If you create a new iTunes account then all of your existing content will remain tied to your existing account, you can't transfer content between accounts.

  • I want to know if we can change our Apple ID without losing all our apps and informations?

    Hi,
    I wanted know if we can change our Apple ID without losing all our apps and information?  We've been having problems with our current emails, and we want to change to a different email address.  However, we've been hearing that everything associated with our emails now can be deleted.. We don't know if that's true or not?  Thank You

    Hi Elizan,
    Just to make sure you are aware - it is REALLY important to delete the iCloud account on your devices and computers before you change your ID! As the article that picas provided, you should also sign out of Messages, Facetime, etc. but the iCloud one is the one that will cause you real grief if you don't delete it before the change.
    Just wanted to let you know!
    Cheers,

  • If i change my Apple ID, will i lose my apps? Will i have to redownload all of them? Will i lose all my pictures, notes, etc.?

    I was wanting to change my Apple ID, because some of my apps were not responding. Do you think that if i changed the ID that i would get those apps back? Or is there another solution?

    Apps are forever tied to the AppleID that purchased them.  Non-responsive apps have absoultely nothing to do with the AppleID.
    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

  • HT5621 how can I change my apple id email without accessing my email account as I have forgotten the password?

    I have forgotten the password to my email account and would like to change the email of my apple id to a new one.

    Sign out of your Apple ID on all your services & devices, especially iCloud on your iPhone.
    Go to id.apple.com.
    Log in with your Apple ID & password.
    Then, edit your primary email address to the new email account.
    Once you do so, a verification email will be sent to the new email address.
    Go to your email account and verify the new primary email address.

  • Can Ipad2 be restored and still keep some apps?

    I just purchased an Ipad2 from a friend.  Is it possible to restore to factory settings but still keep some of his purchased apps?  I assume if I restore and sync to my itunes that i will lose his apps.

    You should not keep his purchase apps under any conditions since you did not purchase them and have no legal right to keep them. Create or use your own iTunes account.
    There are many free apps available for the iPad and many paid apps are very inexpensive. Do the right thing, restore to factory settings and make the iPad your own.
    And yes - when you sync to your own iTunes library you will lose his apps.

  • I am trying to reinstall winows 7 on my iMac and it will not install. I am using the latest drivers ( v4.0) but I still get the black screen. I have made sure that the auto install and the drivers are at the root level on my USB flash drive.

    I am reinstalling W7 on my iMac and keep getting the black screen. I had installed W7 before when using Snow Leapord but W7 doesn't want to install with the latest drivers (v4.0). W7 was working with Lion but I had to uninstall W7 and now I cannot reinstall.

    NOTE: Just discovered that Adobe is making a bigger mess than any previously.
    They now have a 32-bit uninstaller for Flash '''''AND''''' a separate 64-bit uninstaller for Flash. You will need the 64-bit uninstaller for what you had installed above.
    *32-bit uninstaller: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_32bit.exe

  • HT204266 iPad works except I cannot access anything at the App Store (Also I have 'no service' in the top left corner that will not change even if I switch the airplane mode on/off)

    Recently, my iPad has stopped allowing any functions to be performed in the App Store. I can access but cannot update or acquire any apps.
    The rest of the iPad appears to be working other than the 'no service' in the topleft corner. I tried to change that by switching the airplane mode on/off with no luck.

    Hi wiremaker,
    If you are having issues accessing the App Store, possibly due to the No Service issue, you may find the following articles helpful (the second is aimed at iPhones, but should also apply to cellular iPads):

  • Hi, so I want to get Microsoft Office on my Macbook Pro, and I think I found it on the app store. The app is templates for Microsoft Office is that the same thing. Will I get Word, Excel, and Powerpoint on my laptop if I buy and download that app?

    If I buy the templates for Microsoft Office on the app store, I will get Word, Excel, and Powerpoint right?

    Templates are just that, not the software itself.  You need to contact MicroSoft online to purchase, or buy a DVD to install from...be sure to get MS Office 2011 to install with Lion or Mountain Lion, older versions than 2008 will not work.

  • How can I change my Apple ID on Icloud to be the same as I resently have changed my Apple ID into?

    How can I change my Apple ID on I cloud on my Ipone 4S, to be the same as I resently have changed my Apple ID into?

    But will my photos, calendar, etc. be associated with new ID? 
    I have this question too, as I finally changed my Apple ID from ancient unchecked email to current one.  When I go to delete iCloud account with old Apple ID, it gives me a message that says all my photos are going to be deleted and that freaks me out, so I have not deleted it. 
    Is all my data going to be associated with the new ID?

  • HT204053 Who can I change my Apple ID on my iCloud on my Mac

    Who can I change my Apple ID on my iCloud on my MacBook Pro?

    Do you mean that you have another, separate, Apple ID you would prefer to use? If so you need to sign out in System Preferences>iCloud and then sign in with the new ID.
    Or do you mean that you want to change the address which forms your Apple ID? You do this at
    http://appleid.apple.com
    - click 'Manage your account' and you can change this address provided that it is not an @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address - those can't be changed (or changed to), but you can change a non-Apple address to another non-Apple address.

  • I have five iPads, four for my classroom and one that is personal. How can I change my Apple ID on the personal iPad and still keep the apps?  Thank you!

    I have five ipad ii products. Four of them I use in my classroom and one is for personal use.  How can I change my apple ID on my personal iPad and keep all of the apps (i.e. Kindle).  I do not want it connected to my school iPads. 

    All app purchases are permanently tied to their Apple ID. You will have to delete and repurchase the apps with a new ID. I would recommend wiping that iPad and setting it up with another ID.

  • Can i change the current email adress with a different one and still keep my purchases?

    can i change the current email adress with a different one and still keep my purchases?

    You can change your email address as much as you want in your support profile: https://supportprofile.apple.com/
    Purchases are linked to your Apple ID, not your email address. They are not necessarily identical.
