Can I change the Apple ID on my iPhone without losing the songs I've purchased under my current user I'd?

I currently have an apple ID on my iPhone which I've been sharing with my husband.   I had to turn iCloud off so that my info wouldn't get downloaded on his devices too.  I purchased an IPad and created a new user ID and would like to sync my iphone with my ipad.  I want to switch over my iPhone to the ID I have on my iPad.  Will I lose all the songs I've downloaded using the original Apple ID?

Sorting out Apple ID
All Apple services use Apple IDs: iTunes Store, App Store, Books Store, Game Center, Find MyFriends, Find My iPhone, iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud etc.
All purchased items are forever tied to the Apple ID used to purchase.
In a family, you can configure iTunes Store, App Store and Books Store to use the same purchasing Apple ID.
With that, one can share the items bought with the family without re-purchasing.
Now for all the other Apple services, you can/should use a different Apple ID
Example: My son and daughter both have iPod Touch, they use my purchasing Apple ID for books, music and apps. But they have their own Apple ID for the other service like FaceTime, Game Center, iCloud and iMessage.
Now they can iMessage/Face Time me and their friends.

  • How can I change my apple ID on my iPhone? It's tied to a dead email address that's inaccessible.

    How can I change my apple ID on my iPhone? It's tied to a dead email address that's inaccessible. I can log in on my computer with updated id, however I can't find where to change old email. The settings displays new id. When I try to update or buy an app on my phone it automatically puts in the dead email address and asks for the password.
    Please help! Thanks.

    Sync with iTunes so you have a backup. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings. Restore the unit as New. Reconfigure for your new ID and password. Restore your apps, etc. from backup.

  • HT204053 How can I change my Apple ID on my iphone

    I know, I know, go to settings > store > log out etc. etc. etc.
    But here's the deal:
    My itunes on my computer > correct apple ID
    Setting on phone > correct apple ID
    I have synced my phone, I have turned on/off my phone, I have read every "how can I change my applie ID on my iphone" article on the internet and STILL the app store will NOT update, so all my apps have updated that I can not access.
    Please help, I'm loosing my mind! ; )

    If you are asking how to change the iCloud ID on your device, your go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • I have an iPhone 5 and when I'm playing music I can't change the song or start and pause on any of the shortcuts, what can I do ?

    When I'm playing music and am on other things and swipe the shortcuts up, I am in able to change the song or pause and play, the same thing happens when I have locked my phone.
    I have to keep unlocking my phone and going into my music to change the song, this is very frustrating!
    I've gone onto settings but I am unable to find anything that will change this?
    What can I do?!

    I never use than switch and I had forgotten it existed but yes that was the problem.
    Thank you I would have gone nuts. As they say there is no fool like an old fool.
    Thanks again.

  • How can i change my apple ID in my iphone once i did on the internet?

    ciao! i changed my apple ID here because i changed my email adress. But now my iphone consider wrong my password and only let me change the password and not the apple ID. is there any way to change this?

    No, doing a reset will not make you lose data. Only restoring erases the content.
    There is a separate setting for iCloud in Settings/iCloud/ ->Account-> iCloud account info, but since this is grayed out, the info should change after the reset.

  • HT6022 How can I change the ITunes store for purchases from Turkey to UK?

    Hi!
    I bought my macbook at Turkey but now I live in UK, when I want to purchase smt from Itunes store, it says I could only make purchases from Turkish store, is there a way I could change the store? There are stuff I want to buy but I can't because of my Apple ID and the purchase restriction
    Any help would be much appreciated

    Yes,  as Lanny says, accounts are specific to the country.   You would need to open a UK account to use the UK app store which would also mean you would need a UK residential address for billing purposes and a credit card supported by a UK bank.
    Remember, too.   Any apps purchased through your Turkish account can only be updated using the details from that account.  Apps are not transferable and Apple does not allow accounts to be merged.

  • How can I change the material group in purchase order?

    Hello,
    I' ve changed the group of material and is not updated in the purchase order created. Is there any way you see the new material groupl in purchase order?
    Thanks,

    Sorry for the late answer.
    Jeyakanthan A's suggestion may be good in case of few items.
    You can also mass maintain purchase order material groups (EKPO-MATKL) in transaction MEMASSPO, though they are only in display mode in the purchase order transactions. If it doesn't work, you'll get a reason why.

  • How can I change the song's order on my iPod Classic?

    I mean, now songs are stored by alphabetic order or number (in Album). I would like change this order, for ex. by stars, like in iTunes.
    I have an 6.5 generation iPod Classic, with my previous iPod 5.5 if i changed the order in iTunes also in my iPod songs were displayed in that order.
    Is there any funcion to do that?

    Yuo can create a playlist with your desired sort order, right-click on the playlist name and click Copy to Play Order, then sync it to the device. You can play that list in your order, but everywhere else the tracks will play in track number order or alphabetical order depending upon which menu path you used to choose them.

  • Can you change the song order in iTunes?

    I imported an album from my hard drive to iTunes but the songs are showing up out of order and I don't want to import the live album to my iPod in the wrong order. I've checked the info on all of the tracks and everything is correct.
    How do I get the songs back into their proper order before importing to my iPod?

    I imported an album from my hard drive to iTunes
    but
    the songs are showing up out of order and I don't
    want to import the live album to my iPod in the
    wrong
    order. I've checked the info on all of the tracks
    and everything is correct.
    How do I get the songs back into their proper
    order
    before importing to my iPod?
    This is what I would do. Enter the album name in the
    search bar in iTunes. Once all the tracks show up
    and if they are still out of order, click the Album
    tab and that should put them in proper order. Then
    once that is done, hook up your iPod, select all
    album tracks, and then drag to your iPod. That
    should solve your problem. Let me know if this works
    or does not work.
    I actually was able to solve this myself. I highlighted all of the songs, and went to get info. I then made sure they were all of the same album (they were when I imported them). Once I entered the album name in the required field, the songs snapped into their original order (which is crucial when listening to a live album!).
    Thanks for your help though.

  • How can I change the song order when burning a CD?

    I'm trying to burn about 20 songs to a CD. However they are in alphabetical order in the burn folder which I don't want. I want then in the original order they were performed. How do I re-order them before burning?
    A related question: eventually I will add them to iTunes and I'll want to add info such as the artist's name, album name, etc (these were recorded live by me so they're "blank" audio files). Is there a way to add this info prior to importing into iTunes so I don't have to manually add the same info to each track?
    Thanks in advance!

    Here's what I ended up doing:
    I took the blank songs and added them one-by-one as WAV files into iTunes. Then I modified the "get info" summaries and added the artist name and album name to each. But now I had these huge WAV files... too large to burn back to my iPod. So I created a playlist in iTunes for the 20 songs and then burned them to a CD. Then I deleted the songs from iTunes, then re-imported them from the CD.
    Kind of convoluted, but it worked and didn't really take THAT long. I now have the songs on my iPod with all the artist info and a backup CD with the same info and as WAV files.
