How can I switch my primary apple ID and not have to buy apps again?

I would like to switch my primary ID to another one because I don't have access to that email address anymore. I have few apps which I bought under that ID which I'd like to keep if possible. Furthermore, I'd like to use the original apple ID for my icloud account and use the new ID for the same device for itunes store. Is this possible? Thanks.

This may help.

Pages: How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?

How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns? I have opened the inspector to the edit columns and rows under Table. It will sort the column, but then it changes the other colums as well. I know that if I use Numbers, it will work, but I want to know how to do the same thing in Pages.

Hi Peter,
Numbers sorts full rows on values in selected column(s). The technique for sorting a single column is essentially the same as Jerry is describing for Pages tables—separate the (data in the) column to be sorted, sort it, return it to the table.
In Numbers the actual column may be separated from the original table, sorted, then returned. In Pages, the data must be extracted, sorted, then pasted back in, overwriting the unsorted data (if it was left in the original table).
iWork tables follow a database model in which each row is a Record, and each column holds a Field within the records.
As evidenced by the current question (and several similar questions arising in the Numbers community) that model doesn't apply to the way some users, especially some who come in from the MS Excel world, use tables.
With Excels model—islands of data on a single large table, the ability to sort one or a selected few columns of data makes sense. One 'island' may comprise only cells AA21:AH50. Sorting that small 'table' should be possible without disturbing the rest of rows 21-30, which are probably part of one or more other 'data islands' in the sea that is a MS Excel spreadsheet.
In Numbers, each of those 'islands' would be a separate Table, and that Table would be sortable without disturbing other Tables in the document.

Barry

Welcome to the Apple community.
Which password is it that you are looking for. If it is your airplay password, simply turn the password off in the airplay settings on the Apple TV and then turn it back on again and enter a new password.

You can delete an existing account from your device and create a new one and start using it. But I'm not sure what you mean by transfer.

Content is tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it - so if you created a new account as opposed to updating the old one, then you will need to continue to use the old account to download updates to its apps or to re-download its past purchases. If you didn't create a new account but instead updated your old one then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in

You must remember the code, if you can't then take the phone and proof of purchase to an Apple Store.

Did you follow the instructions on that page exactly ? The instructions work for me e.g. selecting a free app in the App Store app and tapping on 'free', then 'install app' and 'create new apple id' - filling in my details then gave a 'none' option on the payment details :
