How to migrate iPhone apps and data to another apple ID

OK, Hopefully someone can help me out with this situation:  I have had my daughter's iPhone associated with my Apple ID for several years now because A) She was too young to have an Apple ID of her own, and B) I wanted to be able to monitor her App Store purchases and such. Well now that she is older and has proven herself to be a responsible young lady, I want to get her her own Apple ID, as she will be getting a new McBook as a graduation present.  My question is this: Is it possible to migrate all the apps and data from her phone to a new Apple ID without having to download all those apps again?  I backup her phone to my computer on a regular basis.  Any help is appreciated.

hold on a second. i went thru the same situation with my daughter, almost exactly as she got a new macbook pro and a new iphone 4. she had an ipod touch 4g that she synced to my macbook pro and apple id for apps. with wjosten's (the guy who wrote the article randers4 linked) help we transferred purchases from her ipod touch to her new itunes on her new macbook with her new apple id. except for those apps that she already had she started all fresh. i figured at some point she'll be moving out and off to college or whatever so might as well start all fresh but she didn't want to lose data she had on some of the old apps. the only issue is when there is an update for the old apps on her new macbook pro i have to sign in on my apple id to update them. i don't know if this info will be of any help or not, but just throwing it out there.

    When you update, iTunes will backup your iOS device.  You can also do it manually... http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

  • How to transfer iPhone apps and their data to new MacBook Pro?

    I just got the new Retina Macbook Pro. Before, I synced my iPhone with my iMac. Now I want to sync my iphone with my new RMBP instead. I transfered my music and applications to the new Mac. My music syncs to my iPhone just fine, however, if I click to check to sync my iPhone applications to this computer then a warning message pops up saying all my existing apps and data will be deleted. I aready clicked transfer purchases to my new Mac, so all my apps are already on the computer.
    But how do I get my apps to sync with my new Mac, without deleting all my apps data?

  • HT202157 How can I set time and date in the Apple TV???  This step doesn't let me go on with installing itunes!

    The area is set for San Juan, PR, but it doesn't recognize the date and time.

    This indicates a network issue.  Ensure DNS settings are set to Automatic and the regional settings are correct.

  • HT4946 How do I transfer apps and photos from my ipad to my iPhone?

    I just bought a new iPhone5 after my other putting my other phone the the washing machine!  How do I get my apps and pictures from my ipad to my iphone.  I was not able to save anything from my other ohone.

    Using the same apple ID with both devices opens them up to share apps and data. There are some limits, for example some iPad apps are iPad only, they literally won't work on the iPhone due to the phone's limited resolution.

  • HT204053 Can create a new icloud account on my iphone and keep all my apps and data?

    would like to create a new icloud account but keep all apps and data on my iphone from other account  has anybody done that?

    You can not transfer apps (or any other item except data) from one account to another, you will need to use the old account in order to update anything bought or downloaded from it.
    For the data just save it all back to your Mac and then migrate it to the new account.

  • I was looking at the "Find my iPhone" app and I have a doubt regarding how it works for the macbook. In order to detect the location, the macbook should remain signed into iCloud. What if the thief logs out of iCloud. Would we able to locate the macbook?

    I was looking at the "Find my iPhone" app and I have a doubt regarding how it works for the macbook. In order to detect the location, the macbook should remain signed into iCloud. What if the person who has stolen my macbook logs out of iCloud.
    It should work fine for iPhone/iPad because we can enable "Restrictions" to prevent the user from signing out of iCloud. Do we have simialr settings for the macbook?
    Thanks,

    If it's not on the device list, it indicates that someone has gone to Find My iPhone on icloud.com and manually deleted it from the device list (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0eeddd), and it has not gone back online since (which would cause it to reappear on the device list; Find My iPhone has been turned of in settings on the device; the iClolud account has been deleted from the device; or the entire devices has been erased and restored.
    Unfortunately, there's no other way to track the phone other than through Find My iPhone.  You could call your carrier and see if they would blackliste it so at least the theif couldn't use it.

  • My MBA was stolen. I need to buy a replacement the next day bec I used it for work. I downloaded the Find iPhone apps and registered my stolen MBA. If I will erase MAC will it also erase the data of my new MBA?

    did you turn 'find my mac' ON your MBA BEFORE your it was stolen? if not, you will not be able to do anything to the stolen MBA
    if you did turn it on before it was stolen, yes it will erase everything on the MBA

    I think I still have like 4.2.2 features, but I know I downloaded it to my phone I'm at work but now I don't know how to make the app work from my work computer. Is the iCloud account like the apple or iTunes account?
    iCloud is Apple's new online service, replacing mobileme - http://www.apple.com/icloud/.  The web account page is https://www.icloud.com/
    Find my iPhone is a feature of iCloud - http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/find-my.html
    And again, the downloadable app has nothing to do with making your iPhone discoverable by find my iphone.  The app is used by a device to find another device which has had the trackable feature enabled in its iCloud account settings.  Simply having the app on a device does NOT make that device trackable.  In order to be able to find a device, you need to have an iCloud account on that device, and you need to enable the find-my-iPhone setting under that account - nothing to do with the app at all.

    so frustrated.

    Well its defintiely nothing that Apple can activate to fix this. They would be able to troubleshoot with you though. This may be able to be resolved if its something software related.

    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) 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 finish 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.
