Can i set up an apple id for my daughter and not loose the apps i got her thru my account?

So here's the thing... I gave my daughter my old ipod touch and have been downloading apps to it with my apple id account. I've realized now that she has the ability to change the progress of my games (that we both play, eg. smurfville) by logging into the game center. And she could also use up money in my accnt. Yes, I realize that I can just change my password, but I want her to be able to back up her games thru the game center, and downlaod apps with her own girft card $, etc. So I want to set her up with her own accnt, but dont want her to loose all the apps I got her with my accnt. Is that possible?

I should note for you that, although the apps are available, they are not put on her account. If she were to update them later on, she'll still have to use your information to update them and not hers. There is no way to actually transfer purchases. They only show available because your account is still there, and you guys are sharing a computer/device. Just figured I'd give you a head's up.

  • Help - I have an apple id account, where is my iPod and iPad registered, but also the iPod of my daughter. How can I make an account for my daughter and keep all the apps she has on her iPod?

    Help - I have an apple id account, where is my iPod and iPad registered, but also the iPod of my daughter. How can I make an account for my daughter and keep all the apps she has on her iPod and in her own iTunes?

    Sorry, content bought with one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

  • Change the Apple ID for a game and not lose the progress made?

    Short version of my question: can I change the apple id associated with a game to another one and not lose the progress made in the game thus far?
    Long version: when there were only a few iGadgets in the house, all games and music were downloaded through Alpha's apple id and the credit card tied to that account. Now, we two folks have multiple iGadgets between the both of us and Beta has her own apple ID. Because we only used one apple id  for so long, Beta has some games installed through Alpha's account and her own Beta account. Beta would now like to change the account the game PocketTimeSuck is associated with from Alpha's account to Beta's account without losing any of the progress made in this game which she has been playing for over a year.
    Is there any way of re-installing PocketTimeSuck onto Beta's device under Beta's apple ID and maintain the progress in the game she has made after installing it under Alpha's apple id? Alpha would like to start playing PocketTimeSuck but cannot install it under her own apple id because it comes with all of Beta's progress.
    (Also, if this is not the right forum, please let me know where I should post this question. Don't flame me, just tell me.)

    I'm getting confused by the Greek alphabet here so I will explain it this way and hope I understand what you are asking.
    Beta has been playing a game that she downloaded using Alpha's ID but now Beta would like to transfer the game and all of its progress to her own ID. That is not possible to do. The game was bought with Alpha's ID and is now associated with that ID and that progress is part of Alpha's backup.
    Alpha now wants to play the game under her own ID but the game is associated with her ID already. If she wanted to, she could just pick up where beta left off and leave Beta out in the cold. Somehow I don't think that is a good solution for either Alpha or Beta.
    Alpha should probably create a new Game Center account and start all over again with her own Game Center account. Beta will obviously have to do the same thing if she wants to play this game using her own Apple ID on her own iGadget.
    So if I do understand correctly, Alpha and Beta will both have to start over again. Howver, I could be confused because this is all "Greek to me".

  • How do I backup my iPhone to iCloud and restore backup to my iPad? My intention is to restore default settings to my iPad to start over and get it synced back up with my iPhone and not loose the apps on my iPad that are for iPad only.

    I hope I am making sense to you. Thank you very much.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • I have an ipad and just bought a second one for my daughter and she wants all my music on her ipad.  We both have our own itunes accounts and music match wont let me put music on hers. how do i get around this?

    I have an ipad and just bought a second one for my daughter and she wants all my music on her ipad.  All the music is under my itunes account yet she has her own itunes account so she can have her own apps and purchase apps with gift cards (She's only 9)
    I subscibe to music match under my account but it wont let me put my music on her ipad under hers or even my itunes account.  I get some sort of 90 day error message.  How do i get around this so I can let her have my music on her ipad?

    iTunes Match is not sharable across Apple IDs. The best way to get the music on her iPad is to leave hers signed into her Apple ID on the iTunes Store and sync via USB.

  • How can I transfer photos from my  iMac to my iPad and not lose the ones already stored on the iPad.

    How can I transfer photos from my  iMac to my iPad and not lose the ones already stored on the iPad?  When using iTunes to sync a folder from the iMac to the iPad it always removes anything previously synced.
    Help appreciated
    David

    I've just found out the reason for this behaviour. I am syncing from a computer which is different to the one I first synced with. iTunes can't cope with this situation so deletes anything synced from another source.

    Hello Teddy53149 and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
    Follow this procedure:
    Change your OS X account name and home directory name - Apple Support
    As they recommend and as always when you're messing with administrator accounts back everything up first.

  • How do I set up my old ipad for my daughter and get my new ipad up and running?

    I want to remove me from an older ipad and set it up for my daughter and then set up my new one.

    Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
    There are a few steps to do:
    Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
    Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime (iPod touch 4th Generation or later, iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later)
    Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
    Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
    Un-register your device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
    Now you can sell/give.
    You can share your books, music and apps with your daughter using the purchasing Apple ID in
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > purchasing Apple ID here.
    Get another Apple ID using a valid e-mail address for her so that she can use the other Apple services e.g. Game Center, iMessage, FaceTime etc.

  • How can you take our money for gifts cards and not fix the problems or offer support AFTER it's paid for?

    I am EXTREAMLY annoyed after a 3 hour run around in trying to use my gift card! I promised some apps to my little kids and mommy is busy trying to figure out why it shows a $25 credit but also says my credit card security code is wrong. It's CORRECT and my credit card shouldn't even be used!! I have been raving about IPAD to my friends and told them the apps were great learning tools for their kids. I even shared mine with my child care provider and she was thinking about getting one for her daycare.... Then showing parents who may like it. I WILL be sharing the lack of support for your gift cards! Perhaps I will just go back to the other learning games for my kids and buy games I can count on. We have Lots of Leap Frog and others and not once have I found such a run around!

    Did you try logging into your iTunes account on your computer rather than on the iPad? It may not make any difference but you don't know until you try.
    One other thought - why dont you restart your iPad and see if that helps. Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut down. hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears to power up. Let the iPad fully restart and see if you can go into your account in settings and remove the credit cards - see if None shows up in the settings.
    I restarted my iPad yesterday when I was having iTunes store issues and the issues cleared up. It may have been purely coincidental but its worth a try.
