EMail addresses and purchased music/apps.

Unfortunately due to lack of knowledge when setting up my systems I now have 2 Itunes accts with different email addresses. To further complicate things, one of the service providers with which I have an email acct is terminating my account as I have changed service provider.
How can I transfer my music and app purchases bought on the acct where the email address will be deleted to the working/current acct?

Many thanks KP whilst I hate having multiple email addresses inputing to the same databases I can see that at the present time there is no alternative.
Many thanks for your help.
Regards

Changed my email address and cannot do apps updates because the changed email doesn't show on the IPad

I changed my email address and, therefore, had to apply the change to my Apple ID. However, when I try to do apps updates on my IPad, the verification window that pops up still shows my old email address and doesn't accept any of the passwords I try to enter...

Apps are always tied to the Apple ID that you used to buy them with. You will have to use the old ID in order to update those apps. Just use the old ID and enter the password for that ID when you want to update those apps.

My username (email address) has changed. Apps that I purchased with the old username ca not be updated as the password from the old username no longer works and apple can not send me info to an addres that no longer exists. What can I do?

Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID

I have recently opened a new account with Itunes.I want to download my previous music purchases to my new account which has a different computer name, email address and Apple ID. My credit card details remain the same. Please HELP.

How can I restore my old account music purchases which I closed, to my new current account which has a new computer name, email address and Apple ID? The credit card details remain unchanged, so would this act as a tracking device for Apple to locate my substantial past purchases?

Why would you start another account?
You cannot transfer purchases to another account.

Quote: "You cannot merge two or more Apple IDs into a single one. You can, however, use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). See “Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases” above for details." See also Apple ID & iCloud FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
You can set up your iCloud account on your iOS device under: "Settings > iCloud" and a other account for store purchases under "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Unfortunately merging accounts is not possible but you could transfer all of your music manually via iTunes from your Mac or PC.

HT201303 I tried to change my email address on the apple ID but now when I try to buy an app or film it still comes up with my old email address and won't accept my password to buy anything. My old email address is no longer in use and can not be access

I tried to change my email address ID , but now when I try to buy an app or music it still shows my old email address and won't accept my password which I did not change. What can I do as I can't download anything ?

What id shows in Settings > iTunes & App Store ? If it's the old one then tap on it and log out of it and then log in with the updated version

Cannot update apps. It keeps asking for an old email address and password and I can't seem to get rid of it.

I have everything running fine on my laptop with my new email address and password, but after using the sync feature, it still won't update the old apps on my iPad without using the old email.

That is how it is supposed to work. Apps and purchased content are always tied to the Apple ID that you bought it with. You will have to continue to use the old ID and password in order to update those apps.
You can sign in and out of the accounts in Settings>Store>Apple ID as needed.

Why when I try to update certain app it require an old email address and password I have not used for years and I do I get to update them on my new details

Apps are tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase them and you will always need to use that ID and password in order to update them.
Saying that you do get to update them on your new details makes no sense at all.

Changed my email address and the old address keeps coming up when I got to update my apps.

I changed my email address and password. However the old address keeps popping up whenever I go to update my apps. How can I change it?

you cannot update apps that were purchased through your old email account without logging on to them because they were purchased through that one. It will only recognize the old one..... I have the same problem and have a new account but can't update all my original apps....very frustrating! I cannot remember the password and they want to mail it to a non existing email account..

I have a new email address which I have had verified, but when I try to update an app it asks for my password with the old email address and always comes back telling me it is an incorrect password.

I Have a new email address which I have entered into settings and it has been verified. I no longer have the old email address. When I try to update an app, it comes up with my old email address and asks for my password. It always comes back with a message that the password is incorrect. What do I do to fix this?

Hi Vivian Zollman,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I'm not sure if you are referring to your Apple ID or just your email account in the Mail app. So, I've included all of the articles that may be relevant for you.

If you already have an email account set up and you want to modify its settings, tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, tap the name of your account, and then your email address. Then tap any information you want to adjust.

Is it possible to download iOS 5 from one iMac and not get them totally wiped of apps and stuff. We have an iPad each and a communal email address and an iCloud address each. One iPad now is totally screwed up.

Is it possible to download iOS 5 from one iMac on two ipads and not get them totally wiped of apps and stuff. We have an iPad each and a communal email address and an iCloud address each. One iPad now is totally screwed up.

Thank you for your reply.
I am somewhat new to iOS and OS having grown up with DOS and Windows. I am not familiar with IMAP and iCloud and I am not even sure which types of servers my various emails use.
The problem I would anticipate with iCloud is that (I assume) it would limit my access to data (including mail) on the iCloud to when I happen to be logged onto the internet. I also assume(?) that large files (photos etc.) would require some time to download whenever I wish to access them from whichever device I happen to be using (I hope I am wrong about this).
I have kept my devices to 500gb - 1TB for OS and 32gb - 128gb for iOS but since I have pretty slow WiFi (shared with DirecTV Whole Home and Netflix streaming) it is my impression that iCloud might be quite limited due to data transfer times.
Perhaps a factor would be that I have 2 DSL lines and my main DSL line is connected to two wireless routers (to also provide WiFi in a metal building that blocks WiFi and Cellular signals)
I may be totally wrong in my assumptions regarding iCloud. My mail is not so urgent that I need access to it instantly and I could wait until I had internet access or I can get it on my iPhone. My main concern with iCloud would be my data files (Word, Pages, Excel, Numbers etc.).
On the other hand, if I wanted to keep my 10,000 emails that would take up a lot of iCloud memory and I don't know how to measure how much storage it would take or how to move Hotmail or even iCloud mail to iCloud.
It may take me some time to figure this out.

I changed my email address and now i can no longer download apps. Also, how do you upgrade to a new version?

I changed my email address and updated it to my married name. As a result, when I try to download an app, it keeps telling me that I have the wrong password, despite resetting my password.
I have not "upgraded" to the new OS for quite a while... When I try to download an app, it states that I need "OS 3.2".. or some later version...
How do you update to a new version. It keeps telling me to go to itunes.com and click on update. I'm not seeing this at all.

Did you just change your address, or create a new iTunes account? If it is not a new account you will first have to fix the password problem. Email iTunes Store support if you cannot figure out how to resolve the problem. Have you updated your login on the phone, in addition to iTunes on your computer?
To update your iPhone you need to install the latest version of iTunes (10.5). You also need an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4. The 3G cannot be upgraded beyond 4.2.1.

I recently changed my email address for the Apple Id and it was accepted but now when the App store comes up it still shows my old email address and no password will work. iCloud and Facetime are fine. Don't know why it stays there or how to alter it.
