How to change a apple ID without reseting

When we purchased our ipone 5 it was set up under my wife's apple ID and now I want to put it under my apple ID without losing my contacts or photo's?

Settings/itunes & app store tap on the ID there logout of that ID and log in with the one you want.  You might also change the ID in messages and for the cloud

  • Is there a way to change my Apple ID without resetting my Iphone and deleting everything on it ?

    My kids and I currently share the same Apple ID and all my Imessage texts go to their Ipod/Ipad's before they come to my phone. I would like to keep all the music that I have purchased on our shared account on my new Apple ID. Is there a way to do this without erasing everything on my phone ?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thank-you for the reply, but the problem with that is that they wouldn't have the music either. Almost half of the songs our apple ID are kids songs.

    Created an apple I'd using a wrong e-mail address. Can't access the e-mail to varify the Apple ID in order to be able to change the account settings. Any idea how can change the account information without having to varify the account through the e-mail?

    You are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
    Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway...

    Hi sisot,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may find this article helpful with resetting your security questions:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    However, if you're not able to receive email to your rescue email address, you may need to contact iTunes Store Support:
    You'll need to contact iTunes Store support to have your questions and answers reset.
    After your password, security questions and answers are reset, I'd recommend providing a different rescue email address:
    You can edit or delete your rescue email address at My Apple ID. To edit your rescue email address:
    Navigate to My Apple ID using your web browser.
    Click "Manage your account"
    When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
    Click Password & Security
    You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
    All the best,
    Jeremy

  • Using ipad with remote app, I cannot change to watching a movie from listening to music through Apple TV without resetting the procedure. It only changes the song

    Using ipad with remote app, I cannot change to watching a movie from listening to music through Apple TV without resetting the procedure. It only changes the song

    it might be worth checking your TV settings to see if it has an option for different settings based on whether using the tv speakers or headphones.
    Normally you should be able to control the sound via the tv.
    Have you tried it without the headphones?

    Hello, chard2say22. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    To create an Apple ID without a credit or debit card, there is a specific series of steps that have to be processed in order to allow the payment to be set as none on creation of the account.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    If the specific steps have not been processed, a credit or debit card will be required to complete the setup of the account.
    However, it can be removed and payment method changed to none as long as there is not an outstanding balance.  At this point an iTunes gift card can be used as form of payment.

    can anybody help with the question below?
    how to reset your secret question, when you have forgot the answer. And how to change the email where the reset confirmation will be send towards?

    You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, if you don't have access to your current rescue account then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.

    When they've been reset you can then use steps 1 to 7 half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • I suddenly recieved 6 'How to change your Apple ID password' emails, even though I haven't been on the Apple site in months....should I be concerned that someone is trying to use my account?

    I suddenly recieved 6 'How to change your Apple ID password' emails, even though I haven't been on the Apple site in months....should I be concerned that someone is trying to use my account?

    I wouldn't be too concerned. The most likely cause is that someone is attempting to login and made a mistake in entering their Apple ID and typing yours instead. So, they are getting an error and offer to reset their password. But the email that generates is being sent to the real owner of the Apple ID they are entering, you. If you are really concerned, you can go to the Apple support site and reset your password yourself to be on the safe side.

  • How to change my Apple ID ?, How to change my Apple ID ?

    HOw to change my Apple ID ?
    LAst time one I was using 4s & now I using 5s... I create new Apple ID for 5a,
    but when I download games or apps, it will automatically using old Apple ID ...
    then got message "your Apple ID is disable"

    Hi Jasonnz,
    You might want to keep the same Apple ID you used for your iPhone 4S on your new iPhone 5S.  As deggie pointed out you can access the purchased made with that Apple ID on the new device.
    If you are getting the "Your Apple ID is disable" it might be because you entered the wrong password many times and for security reasons Apple disables your account until proper validation.  You could visit iforgot.apple.com and reset your password to make sure you can use it.
    For more info, check out this forum http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2446.

  • I bought a used iphone can someone tell me how to change the apple id on phone please. Thank You!

    I bought a used iphone yesterday and it has a apple id on it and I need to know how to change that apple id over to my id. I do not have the password for the previous owner. Can someone please help me with this? Thank you!

    Removing data is all or none, and "forgetting" to do so before selling your phone is no "small thing" - it's like selling your purse with your wallet and credit cards still inside.
    So I am afraid you were not very helpful!
    Every day there are posts from people with obviosly found or stolen iPhones who mysteriouly "forget" their passcode (or forget to obtian it from the prior owner) and who somehow don't have access to the computer the phone was synced with, looking for help to gain access to the phone.  I'm not interested in helping others boost iPhones.

  • How to create an apple id without using credit card

    how to create an apple id without using credit card.. i have recently purchased apple iphone 3gs bt unable to get apps because of giving credit card info which i dnt hav.. so plz tel me some way to process..

    To get the none option, sign out of anything apple you're signed into. Go to the app store and try to download a free app, any free app. Instead of signing in, take the option to to make a new apple ID. Then go through the steps to make the ID and you'll see the 'none' option.
