How do I change my apple i.d. to the same as my spouse's so that we can share purchased movies, music, etc without losing all of my information associated with my apple i.d.?

We have had separate apple i.d.'s for many years but would now like to share purchased movies.  Is it possible to change my apple i.d. to my spouse's?

I tunes on your computer can act as a styorage place for all of your stuff.  Each device is identified seperatley, but the mu7sic app and book libraries are shared.  I have not tried sharing purchased movies, but I will tonight, and will post back confirmation that movies work as well.  As you sync - the material from both ibraries is presented.. You choose what you want on your device, she chooses what she wants on her device.
The olny issues that arise  is when you try to download updates to apps that were purchased under her ID.  In those cases you either need to know her ID, or wait for a sync - where her device would update the itunes version, that you would simply resync back to your devices.
are you guys sharing a computer now, or are you syncing to two different computers?

    No. There is no way to transfer purchases between IDs

  • HT5625 I have shared an apple id with my daughter over the past several years.  She is in college now and our music tastes aren't quite the same.  Is there a way that I can extract my music to a new user id without closing out my daughters?

    You can't transfer music purchased from the iTunes store to another ID.  You can, of course, create a new ID and start using that for purchasing your music.  Just create the ID, then go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap the existing ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.
    If your issue is that music purchased by her on her device is automatically downloading to yours, you can turn this off by going to Settings>iTunes & App Store, and turning Music off under Automatic Downloads.  Then you can continue to share the same iTunes ID without continuing to automatically download each other's purchased music.

    my old email address was hacked and I am no longer able to access it. How can i reset my icloud ID without losing all of my pictures and more importantly contacts? I have created a new ID but i cannot seem to use it until I delete the old account

    You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
    Have you seen this.

    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For music you cannot download you will need a third-party utility such as Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac or Phone to PC.

  • I have an old ipod that got put through the washer. I want to restore it but i already have a new ipod. How can i restore my old ipod without losing all of my new itunes songs?

    I accidently put my old 2nd generation Ipod nano through the washer a few years ago. Well after that it would no longer work do to water damage. After a while i got a new Ipod (the same type) and was able to get new songs to put on it and what not. Well i was playing around with the one i washed opne day and found that i could still restore it on iTunes. However, it wont let me restore it without losing all of my music and what not that i got for the new one. I would like to continue to use the old one, but I am afraid of losing all of my current stuff. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how i can restore the old and keep the new? I am in desperate need.

    Well, two thoughts.
    The battery has completely discharged and will take overnight to recharge, so don't expect much in an hour.
    The battery has deep discharged and is now dead. It will never recharge and should be replaced.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.
    The flat fee for a battery exchange is, I believe, $99.00 USD.

  • HT204053 I changed my apple id and changed it in all of my settings except for iCloud. The iCloud app will only let me change the password to an account that no longer exists. How do I change the id without losing all of my information stored on the cloud

    How do I change my apple Id for iCloud without losing my information I already stored? I tried going into settings then ICloud but it would not let me change my apple id only my password.

    If you renamed your iCloud ID and need to change it on your device, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • My recent purchases show up in the iTunes store but not in my library and when I try to transfer it, it says "This Computer is already associated with an Apple ID"

    I just got a new iPhone 4S to replace my old iPhone 4S. There were some songs I purchased on my iPhone that were not on my iTunes library on the Mac. Now I lost them. The thing is, if I open the iTunes store on my Mac and go to "Purchased", the songs I bought on my old iPhone show up. They are also in my library, but there is an exclamation point next to them and they will not download onto my new iPhone! Help!!!!

    I'm having the exact same problem and I am the only person who has ever been logged on to this computer to use iTunes Match.  Only my wife also uses this computer, and she has never used or signed up for Match. 
    Interestingly, I have the same number of days listed on my error, 82 days.
    Obviously, Apple has screwed up somewhere.  I've put a help request in.  If we cannot find a solution, we'll have to let everybody know that Match is a ripoff and that all should avoid this fraud like the plague...
    Shalom, y'all!

  • All links are opening in new tabs. How do I change this so links open in the same tab?

    This started with upgrade to FF 10. I've tried switching Tabs options on and off but everything keeps opening in new tabs rather than switching to the link in the open window. This leads to many tabs that I have to chase to get to the page I wanted to open.
    Thanks in advance for your advice.

    Maybe some of the extensions are causing a problem. I suggest you try using
    * [[safe Mode]] <-- clikable link for instructions --
    * do NOT make changes in the first window,just click on continue
    * use only the default firefox theme
    * if you continue to have problems; then whilst still in safe mode disable all plugins
    It is also worth trying to ensure all extensions are uptodate
    * see [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    You may have to try using the reset controls and toolbars option from safe-mode BUT that may loose customisations that you have made.

  • Deleting a friends number associated with my Apple ID

    I used a friends iPhone 4 for awhile with my Apple ID in some areas and hers in another . She then put her sim back in nye phone and her phone number is now associated with my Apple ID . How do I take it off ??

    Hi Janinafromqld,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I recommend these methods to unlink your friend's phone number with your Apple ID:
    Unlink a phone number
    To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
    Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
    You can find the article with this information here:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
