Change apple-id, use ipod with new apple-id

Hello,
my daugthers's "IPod touch" was the first apple device in the family. To be able to use it I created an Apple-ID with my personal data.
Now I bought an "IPad 2" at an Apple-Shop. The sales assisant helped me with the setup an we used the same Apple-ID as I already used with the IPod. But now i noticed that it was a mistake.
It would be better that my daughter's IPod uses it's own Apple-ID. Is it possible to change the ID for the IPod? What do I have to do?
Thanks for your answers.

What will happen to the apps she already bought with the "first ID".
Absolutely nothing.  They will continue to function just fine.

Do I have to back up the IPod with ITunes an the "old" ID? Then change the ID on the IPod? ...? Or what ...?
No.  A single backup takes care of all apps.

I think that she won't be very amused if she looses her apps.
In the event that a real disaster occurs and the backup is lost, the apps can be downloaded again at no charge.  However, you MUST use the same ID that was used for the original purchase.  Log out and back in again.

For buying apps she uses appstore-cards. There is still credit available. Any chance to transfer it to the new ID?
The credits stay with the ID.  They can not be transferred.
App updates can be done from either iTunes OR from the iPod and the next sync will transfer the update to the other device.  However, if you do it from iTunes, you must log out of one ID and into the other to for the updates of the "old" apps.  Then, when finished, log out/in again.  If you update from the iPod, you don't have to log out/in.  The iPod identifies the appropriate ID and, of course, asks for the password.
In case you're wondering, I ended up with two IDs by accident.

  • Is there a way to use ipod with new computer without erasing entire library

    I'm not really tech-savvy, but I'm tossing my old computer and getting a new one - is there a way to use my ipod on my new computer without erasing my existing library? It won't let me make changes to my ipod and wants me to erase everything that is on there right now - HELP!

    Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in iTunes enable it for disk use, this is required for most if not all the utilities listed below so they can access the files: Using your iPod as a storage drive
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iRepo Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • HT1848 MY wife has an Iphone 4  and I have a 5. To date we haev used one apple is/account to manage music purchases. Recently we bought a Mac and created a new apple account for her. How do I synched her phone with new apple account?

    MY wife has an Iphone 4  and I have a 5. To date we have used one apple account to manage music purchases/library. I updated ny phone to the new OS version and all her texting is showing up on my phone.  I understand if i create an apple account for her I will not see her texts. Recently we bought a Mac and created a new apple account for her. How do I synched her phone with new apple account and get access to the music library under my account on the new MAC laptop  before I update her phone to the new OS?
    Going forward if I purchase music under my apple id and want her to have it on her device, how can I acheive that?

    You can continue to share an Apple ID for purchases.
    Sign her in to her new account here:
    Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (Keep on Phone if you want to transfer contacts, calendars, etc...) then sign in with her new ID
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
    Settings > FaceTime > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
    Use the same Apple ID here:
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID

  • I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id.  Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id.  How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

    I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id.  Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id.  How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

    If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Apple TV not working with new 23" cinema display

    OK so I finally found a functional use for my new Apple TV, which has been sitting unused in my living room. My MacBook Pro already connects to the HD projector in there, so Mac TV is just less functionality and redundant.
    I decided the only use I have for a keyboardless Mac interface for just music, podcasts, photos, and videos is the bathtub.
    Being the Mac fanboy that I am, I wanted the solution to be all Apple.
    So I headed down to my local Apple Store with the intention of buying a new 23" Cinema Display for my Apple TV and an iPod HiFi for the sound. I was dismayed to see them showing off the Apple TV on Sony LCD TVs. Why wouldn't Apple want to sell people a triple-play package and have it set up as a demo? After all, they weren't selling the Sony TVs anyway.
    But my first sign of trouble was the very nice store employee who didn't know if the Apple TV would work on a cinema display. But he definitely wanted to find out when I got home. Searching here, I found posts that seem to confirm that it would work, but the actual source is related to an older ADC cinema display, not the new ones.
    I set everything up and used a Toslink-minijack adapter to run the optical digital audio from the Apple TV to the iPod Hifi. I used an HDMI-DVI-D adapter to connect the cinema display to the Apple TV. I powered it all up.
    I got the white Apple logo on the screen, then everything went black. I used the Menu and + keys on the remote for 6 seconds to cycle through the resolutions. Still all black. I used the Menu and - keys on the remote to reset to factory settings. Again booted into blackness.
    Interestingly, while using the + and - keys on the Apple TV remote, the iPod HiFi volume was lowered and raised simultaneously with the moving of the menu selections in Apple TV (I could hear the clicks). What this means is, 2 remotes, each paired to each device, will be needed for proper operation. This is why having too simple a remote is lame.
    At this point I am dead in the bathtub water. I drop more money on Apple than it costs to get a new iMac (which is plan B) just so I can give the Apple TV a shot in my bathroom. But it all doesn't fit seemlessly together on first try.
    Any suggestions? Could the HDMI-DVI-D adapter be blocking the HDCP signal needed to display an image? Is DVI-D the wrong adapter to use? Any help is appreciated.

    I've not been convinced a monitor will work with the tv, but I have to accept the word of those that have had success. I'm not so certain that a monitor is a suitable first choice, maybe if you have one lying around OK, but to buy one instead of a tv is not only a very expensive alternative but even if it works you will have no way of controlling the brightness etc.
    Any suggestions? Could the HDMI-DVI-D adapter be blocking the HDCP signal needed to display an image? Is DVI-D the wrong adapter to use?
    Possibly, Did you ever manage to repeat getting the apple logo or indeed anything even if only for a few seconds. DVI-D or DVI-I would be the right connector, don't use a DVI-A

  • HT1311 How can I get updates for apps with new Apple ID

    How can I get updates for apps with new Apple ID. I have apps that I got for free, and some that I have purchased. I had to create a new Apple ID because I don't have a credit card now.

    Apps will always be tied to the ID in which they were purchased or downloaded under. You can not change this unless you buy or download the free  app using the new ID.

  • APPLE SELLING USED MACHINES AS NEW???

    I have a supposedly new MacBookPro. funny thing is when I click "Networks" in "Finder" there's a ton of suspect network names and settings that lead me to belive this NEW computer is actually SECOND hand!!???? There are at least 8 work groups and MANY names listed under "My Network". The really irritating part is i DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION to delete these items. So my question is simple. Is Apple selling used equiptement as new? I spent a ton of money on my new MacBook only to find there are previous users settings installed that I do not thave the right to change?? Anyone elese come accross this? This is very discouranging. I have owned several PC's I love the new Mac but Mac's cost a ton. If I am going to pay a premium I expect a premium product.

    I think you are over-reacting over what is most likely a misconception on your part.
    If you do feel like it is "used" and may be have a bit more evidence, why don't you take your complaint to either apple Web sales or the apple store in which you purchased it?
    That way, they can provide a reasonable explanation as to why you are having this problem.
    But then after re-reading your post:
    Or maybe then again, you have joined a network on a wireless router and you are merely seeing all of the other networks.
    Networks are a function of your internet connection... so don't get annoyed at apple that you're seeing (most likely) other users on your network, or other "network neighborhoods" as they called it on your PC.
    Regardless, I think you need to calm down a bit. I think you are overreacting over a feature you haven't seen before.
    Lose attitude, relax, and someone will provide you with an answer. Like I said, I'm sure there is an explanation for this, though the more and more I think about it, you are overreacting over your internet network (the people on your router, or the router you're sharing).
    Based on your inability to delete them, chances are these are networks you stumbled upon and are NOT evidence that someone else was using your computer.

    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • Can I purchase an iphone3g and then use it with the apple golf app as a golf gps without having to be on a cell plan or data plan?

    If I purchase an iPhone 3g, can I then use it with the apple golf app without having cell or data service?

    You do not need have cell service for the GPS to work.
    If the iphone is new, then you would have to activate it with a carrier in order for it to work at all.
    If it is used, then you can use it without wireless service:

    Technically the Music, apps are not hers but yours as your Apple ID was used to get them. And as a consequnce they are tied to your Apple ID.
