Changing apple ID without losing content.

I am having to change apple ID since I changed internet (email) provider. I have gone into set up a new Id: but when I look at Itunes account it is still listing underprior name; also if I go on ipod to download I get a prompt to enter password to the old account. I have not restarted computer since I entered new email adress as apple ID; I am afraid I am going to lose all of my content. Any suggestions?

All your content is saved to you computer it's self so u shouldn't lose anything.  However, when in doubt back it up.  Do a back up of your content just to give yourself leave of mind that way you have it if it does get lost.  I changed my account without losing anything.  U should be fine

  • Is there anyway to change Apple ID without losing everything?

    I recently changed Internet providers and my current I'd is with my old provider. Is there anyway to change the Apple ID without losing everything?

    Absolutely.
    If you go to Appleid.apple.com, then click on the Manage My Account button (big blue rectangle).
    When you've signed in (using your current Apple ID), there will be a section showing your email address, click on EDIT next too it, enter in your new Apple ID, and then select Save Changes, and viola! Your Apple ID has been changed, without loss of any content.
    Then on your device just go into Settings> Store> click on your account> Sign Out> Then Sign back in using your new email address in place of the old.
    Note: Some apps when updating will still ask for your old account as the Apple ID, just enter in your password ignoring the email

  • Need help changing Apple ID without losing info

    I have 3 Iphones linked to the same Apple ID.  2 are mine and 1 is my fathers who is not too saavy with Iphones which is why it's been linked to mine to help him.  He has since upgraded from the 3 to a 4s (like I said, he's behind the times) and was wanting to move his content from one phone to the other.  First off, the Apple 'Genius's' were anything but 'Genius' when it came to helping him.  So he ended up having to ship his phone 3k miles to me to help.  I was able to back up his phone and attempted to create a new Apple ID for his phone.  Then I realized it had changed my phones ID's to the same as the one I made for him.  I have since switched both of my personal phones back to the original ID's, but his phone still has the old/new ID I created for his phone but comes up as not 'verified' since I changed my 2 back to the original ID.  If you're still reading this and I haven't lost you yet then maybe you can help.  My question in a nutshell is how do I give him his own ID without losing the content he has on this phone?  He can't sync from ICloud because it will import all of my info onto his phone as well.  I would really like to get this resolved so I can send him back his phone asap and not worry about further issues if and when he needs to backup or sync his phone to his own account without my info transferring as well.

  • Is there a way to sync ipad / iphone (previously under different apple id) without losing content?

    My dad passed his old ipad2 & iphone4 to my kids recently.  I'm afraid to sync them to my computer (my itunes & id) because I don't want to loose some of the content.  He has pictures and the apps are some they have played on since he bought it!  Any tips or advice?  He purchased some art apps for them before giving it to them, so I'd rather not loose the new content either.  But I need to separate his apple id from the devices so I can sync it to my laptop (windows), right?  I'd also like to give them a apple id to associate with mine for facetime & messaging.  Unfortunately, I am not practiced or skilled at the multitasking of technology.  I'll wipe them both if necessary, just hoping I don't have to.  If I sync them to my itunes... can I at least get the pictures?  Well... any help will be appreciated :-

    If your Dad is prepared to share his Apple ID with you then you can recover the existing content from the device using tips here: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • I want to know if we can change our Apple ID without losing all our apps and informations?

    Hi,
    I wanted know if we can change our Apple ID without losing all our apps and information?  We've been having problems with our current emails, and we want to change to a different email address.  However, we've been hearing that everything associated with our emails now can be deleted.. We don't know if that's true or not?  Thank You

    Hi Elizan,
    Just to make sure you are aware - it is REALLY important to delete the iCloud account on your devices and computers before you change your ID! As the article that picas provided, you should also sign out of Messages, Facetime, etc. but the iCloud one is the one that will cause you real grief if you don't delete it before the change.
    Just wanted to let you know!
    Cheers,

  • TS3988 how to i change my icloud id to my new apple id without losing everything

    how do i change my icloud account name to my new apple id without losing my pics

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You will need to save your photo stream photos, before you change your iCloud account.
    Navigate to the photo stream album and into the photo sheet view (the one with all the thumbnails), click on the small rectangle with the arrow on it, in the top right corner of the screen and then tap each photo you wish to save. Once you have selected all the photos you want to save, tap the save button at the bottom of the screen and choose a new album to save them into.
    Once you have done all this, you can delete your current iCloud account and enter your new one.

  • Organizing multiple devices and accounts without losing content

    I have multiple apple devices ( 3 mac book pro's, 2 iphones and 2 itouch ) all under one roof.  I associated all of these devices under one apple ID and my Itunes and Icloud account is quite a mess.  I need to separate the three MacBook's so that each of them will synch with a single iphone or itouch.  How do I do this without losing content purchased under the original apple ID ?  ie., My macbook-my iphone, my wife's macbook-her iphone, my daughter's macbook-her itouch. 

    If you want to take a big iTunes library and make separate libraries, the best way is to give each computer a copy of the full library, and let the person delete what they don't want.  When they each have their library the way they want it, they can sync their own device.
    Not sure what you want to do with the accounts.  Content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently associated with the account from which it was originally purchased, and there has never been a way to change it.

  • I need help,,upgraded to ipad2, laptop had to be restored b4 I backed up iPad or saved iTunes library. How do I back up and sync my ipad2 without losing content on my iPad.

    I need help,,upgraded to ipad2, my HP laptop had major issues and had to be restored b4 I could back up and save any content on the hard disc. So i havent backed up my iPad2 or saved my iTunes library.
    How do I back up and sync my ipad2 without losing content on my iPad.???
    I need really simple instructions as I've had a bad run with my laptop the last month.
    I have re-installed iTunes,it currently has no content in it
    all my music, photos etc had been saved to a an external Hardrive (phew)so I'm not concerned about losing them during a sync, but how do I sync my Ipad without losing the applications... The last back up saved was in June when I still had an ipad1
    I tried to back it up last night but kept getting the prompts something to the effect of "iPad can only be synced to 1 iTunes library, syncing will erase all content and replace with content on this iTunes library".  
    Help please,, I've already lost endless hours fixing my PC issues,so I'm not game to attempt this issue without guarantee I won't lose everything,need a simple solution that anyone can follow as my brain has information overload!!! Lol
    Thanks

    This should help you out. I copied this from another discussion a while back. Here is the original discussion link.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
    This is what is in the discussion. It really doesn't get any easier than this.
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

  • Stop Syncing without Losing Content

    I'd like to stop syncing my Apple TV without losing the content. Other than unplugging my ethernet cable, is there a way to do this?

    I put my mac to sleep before leaving for work and it was still synching. This stopped it from synching.
    What will happen the next time I try to synch? Will it start where it left off? Or does it have to start all over again?

  • Changing sim cards without losing music and video on iphone

    I have an iphone 3gs, with an Australian account. I have gone on a trip to London and have obtained a payg sim card here. Before I left I unlocked my iphone with my provider and am looking to use the UK sim card. My concern is that if I change sim cards I need to restore my iphone. Does this mean that I lose my music, video and podcast files? All the originals are on my pc at home in Australia. Is there a way that I can change sim cards without losing my media files in the iphone?
    thanks

    I too have an account with 3 Australia (now known as VHA) and am using it in Malaysia during my holidays here. Anyways to your question:
    No if done properly you don't even need to restore your iPhone. If your phone is already unlocked just chuck in the new SIM card and that's it.

  • Is there a way to change clip size without losing image quality? Specifically from 568 x 320 to 1920 x 1080?

    Is there a way to change clip size without losing image quality? Specifically, from 568 x 320 to 1920 x 1080?

    No, especially not video files. That's way too much scaling.
