HT204053 After a name change, how do I create a new Apple ID?

I recently changed my name and would like to create a new Apple ID, then merge all the data from my old Apple ID into my new Apple ID. Is that possible, or will I risk losing all my data?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You shouldn't change your account for iTunes, otherwise you will encounter problems with purchased content.
If you sign out and create a new account for iCloud in system preferences > iCloud and then sign back into your old account as a secondary account at system preferences > mail, contacts & calendars, you can manually transfer any data from one account to the other. Let me know if you need assistance doing this.

    An email address can only be associated with one Apple ID at a time. You will have to remove it from the other ID or use a different email address.

  • Stateful Session Bean, After remove is called how do I create a new SFSB?

    The application when is deployed creates a new SFSB, after the remove method is called the SFSB does not exist anymore, also the same happens in a timeout. How do I create a new SFSB without restarting the server?
    I am using EJB 3.0
    I don't understand really how in a shopping cart examples through different uses the correct SFSB is called for each user, with EJB 3.0
    Also how should I store the SFSB, I always called it through JNDI lookup.
    Thanks,
    Zoe

    The application when is deployed creates a new SFSB,

    How do I create a new SFSB without restarting the
    server?
    I am using EJB 3.0
    Just as you created the firwst one. Assuming that you have a handle to the home object stored somehwere from your first call, you use home.create(var1, var2) or else look up the home using jndi and then call create on the home object.
    I don't understand really how in a shopping cart
    examples through different uses the correct SFSB is
    called for each user, with EJB 3.0
    Through your remote object. Each user has got his own remote object and for SFSB, one and only one bean is tied to a remote object. It's the container's responsibility to relate the remote object and the bean.
    Also how should I store the SFSB, I always called it
    through JNDI lookup.Store? Use a handle and if the handle is lost or an attempt to retrieve the remote object using the handle fails, look at #1 above (lookup home, create on home etc)

  • How do i create a new Apple ID, when it was being used by someone else?

    I am VERY i phone/ computer illederate. I am on my pc, with my sons old (we traded, he wanted my samsung 3) i phone. i cannot do anything, eg. new apps,etc because it comes up with his e mail and asks for password which he forgot. So i went to Verizon and they got me to the pg "create a new apple id" I did everything it asked..then when i got home, thinking i did everythin and I WOULD BE THE NEW "OWNER"...nope. It STILL had his e mail and asked for long ago forgotten password. But i want my username&password. He suggested i go to Apple support, so here i am, HELP!

    VERY helpful email response!
    Thank you for contacting AppleCert. I'm happy to help you activate your ACRS account.
    Some Apple ID types are ineligible for use with ACRS. For example, you can not use a personal, customer Apple ID or an @me.com, @mac.com, or @icloud.com email address.
    In this case, the Apple ID [email protected] is not eligible. However, this email address could be released from its current ID and used for ACRS instead.
    If you would like to update the Apple ID account for  [email protected] and free up the email address, please follow these steps:
    1. Visit https://appleid.apple.com
    2. Click Manage your account and sign in with the Apple ID you want to change.
    3. Click "Edit" beside the email address
    4. Enter a new email address
    5. Click "Save Changes"
    This will change both the Apple ID and email address to the new email address and free up the address you wish to use. Note, this change will affect all applications and services for which you currently use this ID.
    For additional assistance please visit http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
    If you do not wish to modify this Apple ID, please reply with an alternate email address. (Do not attempt to register a new Apple ID.) We will verify the alternate address's eligibility and provide the steps to register it as an appropriate Apple ID.
    We look forward to your reply with either an alternate email address or information that your Apple ID has been modified.

  • How do I create a new Apple ID for wife's new iPhone 6 Plus?

    Our family has many Apple Devices (Mac Book Air, iMac, iPhone 6, iPad 3rd Gen. iPod 5th Gen. and as of today a new iPhone 6 Plus.  All of our Devices have always been using one Apple ID.  This has created zero issues until now.  With my wife's new iPhone 6 Plus I downloaded Find Friends and also Find My iPhone.  I can't find any way to set up her iPhone 6 Plus tied only to  her email address and cell phone number.  Whenever I open Find Friends on either device and select the appropriate email address it changes the other device to that email address for Find Friends.  I am beginning to think that now with two iPhones we will need to get my wife her own Apple ID.  When I went to Create an Apple ID using her email address it won't allow it because her email address is associated as an alternate under my Apple ID.  Reading Apple Support documents it shows using a common Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases but a separate Apple ID for iCloud if desired.  Bottom Line, I think I have to Delete her email address from My Apple ID Account so that I can use that email for her new Apple ID.  When I delete her email address from My Apple ID Account isn't that going to impact our shared Apps and iTunes Purchases?

    No, she can use the existing AppleID for purchasing and use her own new AppleID for content syncing. If you wish to, you can set up Family Sharing and add her to your iCloud family. That will enable you to share certain resources such as calendars.

  • My email has changed.  Should I create a new Apple ID or add the new address as an alternate to the old account?

    I have an Apple ID that uses an old email address.  Would like to use current email.  Should I update my old ID, create a new one or just add the new address as an alternate email for the old account?  I understand there are issues with updating apps if you change your ID.  Can someone please explain the best way to set this up?

    Contact iTunes support, explain the situation & ask that they add your old apps to the download queue of your new Apple ID. If they do so(they most likely will), delete the old apps from your iTunes library & move all files to trash:

    However, it is not necessary to create separate IDs for each device you use (in fact, in most cases, it is not desirable). What are you trying to accomplish exactly?
