Changed my Apple ID and lost iMessages?

I was trying to get iCloud to work and in order to do that I had to change my apple ID from an ID "re's nano" to my e-mail address. When I did this and adjusted it on my iPod, I lost my previous iMessages even though it is the same account I used. Is there any way to get these back? Thanks.

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

  • I changed my apple id and lost all my music...

    i have changed my apple id and lost all my music other than about 20 songs...i had about 700

    Did you "change your Apple ID" using this process?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
    If not, you might mean you created a new Apple ID to start using instead of your old one.  In that case, your old Apple ID owns all the music, and your new one does not.

  • HT5538 I changed my apple ID and now iMessages won't work

    I recently changed my Apple ID and now iMessages won't work on my Mac. It will still work on my iPhone and iPad, but they will not communicate with my Mac. None of the messages I try to send from my Mac will go through.

    HI,
    This is a step up from the previous suggestion.
    Make the Finder the "front" app.
    Use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    Select the Library that appears in the Menu list.
    Navigate to Preferences.
    Find com.apple.imservice.imesssages.plist and drag it to the Trash.
    Restart the app.
    You will most likely have to re-enter the Apple ID
    If that does not work delete the com.apple.imessages.bag.plist  (this one holds the server it should be trying rather).
    Again Restart the app.

  • Changed my apple ID and Lost all my purchases

    I recently changed my e-mail in my iTunes account information, which is also my apple ID and I have lost all my purchased music.  How can I get all my purchases back?

    YES!
    I can access the old account by changing password BUT can't see my purchases listed...
    Any suggestions?
    TIA
    Found the missing songs (not obvious- need to hit the 'buy' button in iTunes!), still trying to download as my MBA is new and must be authorised; waiting.......

  • Changed my Apple ID and my iMessages have disappeared from my iPad. How do I get the same messages back again?

    I have recently changed my Apple ID (wish I didn't as it's causing nothing else but issues so far) and my iMessages have disappeared from my iPad. I have signed out / signed in with the new account but it doesn't work. How do I get to see the same messages on my iPad again as the ones on my iPhone?

    Hello, see if this might be it...
    I think you accidentally hit CMD+Option+8, do it again, or open System Preferencess>Universal Access>Seeing & turn Zoom OFF.

  • HT5624 I changed my apple ID and lost my contacts

    I changed my Apple ID ... and lost my contacts.
    Any ideas?

    I believe I created a new one.
    They sent me an e-mail with a link, and I created a new one, because I couldn't remember the old one.  If I ever had an old one ... the phone was my son's hand me down. 

  • I changed apple ID and lost my purchase

    Hi, I changed my apple ID and lost all my purchase and contacts. Now the apple ID page will not let me re-use my old apple ID. I have restarted my iphone and it is still problematic. Thnks

    Apps you purchased with one ID cannot be transferred to another.

    I don't know about your camera roll, but for photostream just do this:
    Go into Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and then sign back in using your Apple ID information.
    Make sure to do the same thing with your iTunes and App Store options.
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > Click Email and sign out, then sign back in.

  • TS4268 I changed my apple ID and now I cannot access iMessage, it keeps asking me to log into my old Apple ID

    I changed my apple ID and it reset properly on all apps/software but the only thing it is not working with is Imessage. when i turn off imessage and turn it back on it asks me to log into my old apple ID, I have tried changing the password and adding the new apple ID but it is not working

    You logged out of your old Apple ID with iMessage at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive followed by logging in there with your new Apple ID?

  • I changed my apple id and everything works fine except message and face time. I cannot reactivate imessage and facetime shows my email to send and receive instead of my mobile number.

    I changed my apple id and everything works fine except message and facetime. I cannot reactivate imessage and facetime is using my email instead of my mobile number. How do I reactivated message and use my mobile number on both applications?

    I apologize. I misread your statement.
    The information that I provided about adding the phone number back to the iPad is valid and should work. Now as for the activation of messages, take a look at these support articles for starters. Hopefully, something in one of these will help.

  • I changed my Apple ID and then my imessages stopped working

    I changed my Apple ID and then my imessages stopped working. I have logged out of the Icloud on my 5s and logged back in under the new apple id. No imessages on the ipad or phone.  Any suggestions

    You can only update the apps using the original ID and details you provided to buy the apps in the first place.   You cannot merge IDs.
