Changing Apple ID - what happens to apps?

We want to change our Apple ID on one of our devices - my boss is passing one of his iPads to his kids - to ensure that the apps are not synced between the bosses main device and the children's device.
What happens to the apps currently on the device? He bought some apps specifically for the kids using the shared ID, and he's wondering if he'll have to make another purchase.

Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them. If you change Apple ID's, you will have to purchase them again with the new ID.
The apps will remain on the iPad and you can continue to use them, but if you want to update them, you will have to use the old ID for that.
I don't know of that answers your question, because I don't get the correlation between what "we are changing an Apple ID on one of our devices" and "the boss is giving one of the iPads to his kids". I must be missing something in your explanation.

2. Will her screens automatically show just her cuurent aps or will they be cluttered (her words) with my dozens of apps?

1. will be lost
2.will be your apps
3. you will never be able to imessage or facetime eachother and she will get your imessages

I bought a HD and the Itunes Stores say that the movie (Pretty Women) has Itunes Extras. Why I can not find it? It is a mistake from Apple? What happen if I buy the movie because the Extras and now I can not watch it? I have an Ipad last generation.

What version of iOS do you have on your iPad (Settings > General > About > Version), and is it connected to wifi ?
From Buy and play movies with iTunes Extras - Apple Support :
Here’s what you need to stream the new iTunes Extras:
Mac using OS X Mavericks v10.9.3 or later and iTunes 11.3 or later
PC using iTunes 11.3 or later
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation or later) using Apple TV software 6.2 or later
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iOS 8 or later (You need to connect to Wi-Fi. Extras won't appear if you're connected to a cellular network.)
An active Internet connection
You can use the steps below on your Apple TV, Mac, PC, or iOS device for any purchased, HD movie that features Extras:
On your Apple TV, select Movies, then select your movie to see the Extras menu. Extras aren't available from the Computer tile on Apple TV (Home Sharing).
On your Mac or PC, open iTunes and go to the Movies section in your iTunes library. Double-click your movie. If there's no Internet connection, the Extras menu will be skipped. The movie will immediately play if you already downloaded it.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap the Videos app, then tap your movie. If you're connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi, the Extras menu will appear.

What Happens To App Data With A Broken/Lost Pre?

What happens to the data in my applications, like if I had a Quicken type app and I had to Full Erase or got a replacement Pre? I'm guessing that the app would re-download and all my data would be gone.
Can anyone give me some insight as to what happens to app data when your loose or have to erase a WebOS device. And if I'm correct is there anyone working on a solution to backup app data?

If you re-download the apps under a different ID, you'll lose all saved data.

My Apple ID is my Yahoo email address My Yahoo email is now corrupted by the latest virus. Do I need to change my Apple ID to say, gmail, instead of Yahoo? If I do change Apple ID, what are the consequences - do I lose apps etc? Thanks

Wondering if it is necessary to change Apple ID if my yahoo emails are infected by virus? If I do change it what happens to all apps etc previously purchase ors acquired using the old Apple ID?

An e-mail account cannot be "infected." I'm guessing that you are seeing that it is sending out e-mail containing malware of some kind... if that's the case, that just means that either someone is faking your address in e-mail being sent from somewhere else, or your e-mail address has been hacked and is being used to send malware spam. Either way, it would be prudent to change the password on your Yahoo address, as well as any other online accounts that might be associated with, or that use the same password as, that Yahoo address.
As to the question regarding Apple IDs... all your app purchases are linked to your Apple ID, so if you abandon your current Apple ID, you lose all those apps. You would have to re-purchase them on the new Apple ID. So this isn't really a good solution, and isn't necessary in this case.

I can't remember my apple id and apple can't find me if I create a new apple id what happens?

My daughter can't remember her Apple ID and for some reason Apple can't find her ID. It's suggesting she create a new Apple ID if she does that what happens? She's worried she will lose the items she has purchased. Oh and somehow her IPOD touch 4th gen got linked onto her sisters account so it doesn't show the username unfortunately when you try to purchase something. I can't find where I wrote all this down either

Is there a way to find my Apple ID Name if I can't remember it?
Yes. Visit My Apple ID and click Find your Apple ID. See Finding your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. SeeChanging your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.
If y can't find the old ID/password then you are limited to the things yo can do with items purchased with the account. Like not being able to update apps and transfer purchases.

Change apple id and removing girlfriends apps

Just bought new i iphone4, brought home started setting up and synced it on my girlfriends computer.
I now have all her apps, and i want to delete them, because i cant update them or buy others because her apple id appears every time i try to update or install new ones. I have gone to settings and changed apple id over to mine, but this doesn't help on her apps in trying to update them.
I really just want to start fresh even if i lose all her apps so i can buy new ones with my apple id account.
Please help

On your phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. That should take but a minute or two & when finished, the phone will look just like it did when first taken out of the box. Plug it into your computer/iTunes account, name it what you want & sync your content to the phone. It's not permitted under the EUSLA for you to have your girlfriends content on your phone anyway. If you're gonna use the same computer, create a separate computer login for yourself. This will insure there is no chance your content/data is intermingled.

IPad Given to Spouse - What Happens To Apps?

My new iPad 2 arrives tomorrow. My current iPad is going to my wife, who has here own iPhone 4 and her own Apple account.
I'm pretty sure that I know how to backup the iPad and then restore to the iPad 2 to get all my apps over there. But what happens to all the apps I've purchased for the iPad when my wife tries to use it on her own Apple account through her own iTunes? Is there a way to transfer these apps to her account, or will she have to use my account from now on?

I was afraid you'd say that.
One last question if you don't mind. Having both iPads on my account isn't problematic at all, but each iPad should be able to sync its own set of all the apps in my account as well as individual setting for syncing photos, music, etc., correct?

HT204053 I have used my yahoo account as my apple Id. What happens to the iCloud account? is setup. Will information store in the cloud without an iCloud address

What happens to all the information that is being stored in the cloud?

Hi rjt,
Sounds like you did not delete the iCloud account on your device before you changed your ID. You will need to do the following:
1.     Sign onto Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the old ID (this is temporary - do not verify it, do not change the password): Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom to delete the account. Use your current password when asked, follow the prompts to complete the deletion
3.     Go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the new ID (you may need to verify it again)
4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign onto iCloud with the new ID
Cheers,
GB

HT1688 If I delete my apple ID what happens to my itunes data?

my daughter is using my old apple ID, and I gave her my iPhone 5. I now have a Samsung Galaxy S4, I can't text my husband anymore, ATT said it had something to do with my apple ID. We used to use the iMessage and now I can't.
please help. What happens if I delete my apple ID so I can communicate to and Iphone from a Samsung and what happens to everything in my itunes account?
Thank you

As long as you update your existing account with the new email address then you shouldn't lose anything, it should remain linked to the account. You can update the primary email address on your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and viewing your account, and via http://appleid.apple.com
After updating it you may need to tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and log out and then log back in for it to be 'refreshed' on it

HT5787 Change apple id for all purchased apps...

I want to change apple id in my iphone as my old apple ID's password is not working. Please help me. I want to change apple ID for all new and old purchases.

Have you tried logging out an back into that account on your phone (tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store), and/or tried getting the password reset for it : http://iforgot.apple.com (if you do get the password reset then you might need to logout and back into it) ?
If you create a new account then that will work for new purchases, but all of your existing downloads will remain tied to your old account, so only your old account will be able to redownload those purchases and/or download updates to its apps.

Changeing Valuation class-what happens to deleted open docs.

Hello,
we are planning to change the valuation class for material. In order to change the class we would have to delete all open items that trace back to the material (PO, GR, IR). I run me2m to identify the open documents for that material.
My issue is when I reverse or delete the IR, GR, and PO what happens to the those documents.? We have documents that go back to 2007.
Do we have to recreate the PO, GR, IR after we change the class.?What are the long term effects when doing this change (Audit)?
Please advise.
Thanks.

You don't need to worry about old documents as long as they are not open.
You just need to invoice out all the open GRs or cancel all those GRs. In case of POs, you have to ensure the GR qty is equal to IR qty for each PO line, then you can mark the line as deleted so that the system will allow you to change the val. class. You also need to make the stock to zero.
Once val. Class is changed, you can undo all the above.

What happened to App Category list?

Hello!
The very useful sorting of App Store apps into a Category list has been replaced with an "App Store Quick Links" list. Useful if I'm looking for 'Apps for Foodies' and just a few other categories with cutesy names, but useless if I want to browse Travel or Productivity or Reference or other apps. What happened to the comprehensive category list?
Thanks.

Hover your mouse over "App Store" in the iTunes store top toolbar and use the white arrow to display the categories list and make your choice.
Or use the "Power Search" link on the iTunes Store home page, select Apps and choose the categories and devices you wish.

Changing apple id but keeping all apps from other id

Hi,
I have sahred my apple id with two of my friends. They are using it on their iphones.
I am afraid that they are also getting the same apps that I download on my iphone.
So, I want to change apple Id on my iphone but I do not want to lose all the apps and data associated with my current id. I want all these apps to remain on my iphone . How can I do this?

If you change your Apple ID the apps you currently have can stay, but you will not be able to update them in the future. Appls are permanently tied to the ID underwhich they were downloaded.
Simply make a new Apple ID, and then go down the apps in Settings and each one that uses an Apple ID has to have the ID changed. Go to the Stores, App and iTumes, and click Apple ID > Sign Out of the stoes. Then delete the current ID and put in the new one, and then Sign In to the stores with that ID.
