HT1386 how to accoiciate my iphone with different itunes account?

I have 2 itunes account. my iphone is accociated with one of them, it's the old one. I want to change it so my iphone will be accociated with the new one. and I don't want to erase all the data on my iphone. how do I do it?

Because apple id's are unable to be merged you will be unable to update any content from the old apple id while signed into the new one.   Also, syncing and transferring purchases to the computer will cause a loss of information as well. Curious as to why you created a new apple id?

  • How to backup multiple iphones with different iCloud accounts but same apple id?

    I would like to back up 3 idevices each with different icloud accounts to itunes. But they use the same apple id so that itune purchases can be installed on each device (2 iphones and 1 ipad).
    All I want to do is create a backup in case the phones need to be restored. I also want to back up before downloading iOS 8.
    The Macbook Pro that I will back up to has one user and one itunes library.
    Is this possible without mixing up address books and contacts etc? Appreciate if some one could direct me to detail step-by-step instructions if they exist or please tell me how I can do this.
    Thanks.

    With Family Sharing they don't need to have the same Apple ID anymore.
    But backups to iTunes are kept separate among multiple devices; Apple ID and iCloud isn't involved at all. Just make sure the devices do not have the same name.

    I really don't know what this means.
    What do you mean "when I try to change the email on my itunes"?
    Where on itunes are you changing an e-mail?  and for what reason?
    Not sure at all what you are trying to do an it seems that you are confusing e-mail, itunes accoutns and libraries.
    Please explain exactly what you are trying to accomplish.

    No. If you connect his phone to your iTunes account/computer, ALL iTunes content on his phone will be erased. By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with ONE computer at a time.

    Sorry, unless she backup up the new phone before or is using iCloud to save the photos, the photos are gone.

  • How do I transfer music from different iTunes accounts on different computers?

    How do I transfer music from different iTunes accounts on different computers?

    Move the song files to the desired computer and then either drag them into the library in the open iTunes application window or the Automatically Add to iTunes folder. If this would cause the single library to have content from more than five Apple IDs, you may not be able to sync it to an iPod or iOS device.

    So, when the other iTunes account needs to be used, I should log out of Windows and have the other user log in under a different Windows account, correct?  
    M Parker, 
    Yes, since you are trying to keep things separate, that is exactly what you would do.

  • How do I transfer a free music app with music on it to another iphone with different icloud accounts

    My friend gave me his old iphone with a free music app on it and it had some music on that app well I just got a iphone and was wandering how to get that music and app transferred to my iphone with the icloud accounts being different

    Stealing is NOT the only reason to want to transfer music and paid apps from one account to another. 
    The family has been using one itunes account to purchase music and apps.  This account was set up under my user name.  I gave my wife my old ipad and got the 3-kids new ipads.  I want to give all of the music and apps under my user name to my wife's new itunes account so the family can keep using them and I can have a separate account.  Even if I have to re-pay for the music and apps. 
    Is it possible?

  • HT1296 how do you transfer music from one ipod to another with different itunes accounts?

    I have a friend who has a first generation ipod that was synced with another itunes account.  He no longer has access to it and forgot login and password.  I bought him another ipod touch 4th generation.  I opened up a new itunes account for him.  He has 470 songs on the old ipod that we want to put on the new ipod touch.  How do we do it with two different itunes.  We wish to use the new account.  Thanks for any help

    Copy the music for the old iPod to his computer by:

    Then sync the new iPod to that computer.

  • Purchasing Apps for different non-linked iPhones with one iTunes account

    Hi:
    Is it possible to use my iTunes account to purchase apps for different iPhones without linking those phones to my iTunes account?
    I am trying to purchase a specific application (WhatsApp) for some friends who have iPhones but not iTunes accounts. I don't want to link those phones to my iTunes account, just buy this specific app for them.
    When I try to purchase directly from their iPhones, I get a wrong password message. Is Apple blocking this purposely?
    Thanks,

    All 3rd party apps - paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to purchase/download the app, so the answer is no.

  • HT1386 how can I transfer purchased apps from itunes account to old iphone

    how can I transfer purchased apps from itunes account to old iphone?

    You can sync them under apps on iTunes if they are in your iTunes library.
    you can go into the App store on the device, tap on "updates" and then "purchases" download the apps you want.

  • Using multiple devices in iTunes, each with different iTunes accounts

    My husband and I are trying to go from 2 computers to 1 in the house, but cannot figure out how we can run iTunes on one computer, with multiple iTunes accounts and NOT download each others apps, music etc automatically. My son also has an ipod which I want to have as a separate account.
    We still want to be able to share some of the downloads amongst each other - but selectively, and not have them automatically downloaded as they would if there were all on the one library / account.
    From what I can see on the online forums I can create a new library for each device to stop the automatic transfer of purchases, but then cannot find how we can select what we do and dont want to share amongst each other, or if this is even possible with multiple libraries.
    Is there a way that I can do all of the following:
    Have multiple devices on 1 computer in iTunes
    Each device has its own iTunes account
    Each device retains its own library
    Each device can select what purchases we want to share amongst the devices, without it automatically transferring onto each device?
    Many thanks!

  • How many iPods can sync with One iTunes account?

    How many iPods can one sync with an iTunes account ? I have searched the net and there are many different posts but none conclusive. So was wondering if anyone here had a clear idea on that.
    Thanks in advance,
    -TRS

    But how many ipod can I sync with only one iunes store account?
    None.
    iPod don't sync with an iTunes account.
    iPods sync with iTunes on a computer.
    You can have 5 computers authorized to play songs/movies from one iTunes account.
    Each computer can have 5 iTunes accounts authorized.
    An iPod can have music/movies from 5 different iTunes accounts.
    Note that this only applies to iTunes purchases with DRM, which is movies, tv shows and older iTunes music. All music now purcahsed is DRM free.

  • HT1719 We have 3 ipods.  How do I set up 3 different itunes accounts?

    We just got multiple ipods in the house.  We don't want the same music.  How do I set up different itunes accounts?  Or do I have to create playlists and put the playlists on the shuffles?

    The setup screen should not be populated with anything except example info.
    In Mail,Contacts and Calendars You have a list of your emails and underneath the Add Account button:
    After you tap the Add Account... button you should get a screen similar to this one:
    If you tap on GMail there, you get the Account entry form, with sample info in the fields. Notice the "John Appleseed" name and the Example texts.
    Is that what you are doing?
