HT204053 Change one Apple ID (shared) to 2 individual IDs, without losing stuff.

Change one Apple ID (shared) to 2 seperate IDs, without losing stuff.  We have 2 ipads, mac pro, and  io phone 5.

You won't loose a thing as long as you also keep the original Apple ID. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple does not merge Apple IDs. The content acquired (bought or free) is forever associated with the Apple ID that acquired it. That is the only Apple ID that can redownload what is redownloadable and the only ID that can update anything.
You can comingle the content of multiple Apple IDs on the same computer or iOS device, so you can still share what you have, and create two new IDs whereby you keep content separate.
Can you live with that?

    Can more than one apple id sign in on my tablet without deleting anything off? Or does err1 hve 2 use ID while on my iPad?

    Another ID can be signed into on the iPad without losing anything, but it is not advisable to download purchased content with another ID, or you will lock yourself out of your own ID for 90 days.  Why don't you explain exactly why you want to sign in with another ID.

    How do I change the e-mail address default on the icloud without losing the contacts saved?

    Each iCloud account can only have a single iCloud email account.  As such, you can't have a different email account on your iPod if it is using the same iCloud account. 
    You can create additional alias email addresses within this iCloud account, but they will all receive email in the same inbox as the primary icloud email address.

  • I have 2 Apple IDs, 1 associated with all the family devices and the other which has no devices associated with it.  Is there a way to split out the devices between the 2 IDs without losing apps(iPhone) and music (ipod classic)?

    I have 2 Apple IDs.  1 associated with all the family's devices and the other with no devices associated with it.  Is there a way to split out the devices between the 2 IDs without losing Apps (iPhone 4s) or music (iPod classic)?

    i'd be inclined to leave things as they are. Managing app updates over more than one account in the same library or device requires you to sign in and out of each account in turn. You cannot transfer content from one account to another.

    Is there a way to change fixed width Flat file connection manager to delimited without losing all the column names ?

    Unfortunately not as it is a quite dramatic change causing the metadata being refreshed. I would try to open though the package file in a text editor and find them before doing the change, then after you made the change to the FF connector try to reconstitute
    / replace the autimatically generated columns with the old names.

  • HT204053 Changing my Apple/iTunes ID to be same as my iCloud one ?

    I have one ID for Itunes purchases which I set up using an old non Apple eMail address I wish to discontinue, and set up  separate iCloud IDs for my wife and I. When I try to change my Apple ID to be the same as my iCloud one it doesn't allow me. It says I cannot us an existing Apple domaine.
    I would like to use the iCloud ID I have also as my Apple ID, keeping all the purchases I have already made my old separate ID, and have my wife share my ID for purchases but keep her own iCloud ID for contacts etc.
    Is there a way for me to do this.
    Alan

    I saw advice which said I should use active eMail ID for future purchases and that I can still access old purchased Apps/Music etc.
    Can someone advise how this can be done in practice.
    Do I have to sign in under old Apople ID regularly to receive updates, and do the old ID Apps appear on the same screen in iTunes as the ones purchased under the new/current ID.

    I changed my apple id and now I can't change my iCloud id, and can't access iCloud because my apple id is changed.  How do I chang my id in iCloud?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

  • HT204053 Changing your Apple Id

    Hey,
    I'm in the process of changing all my email subscriptions and so on to my @icloud.com account and I was planning on getting rid of my gmail account permanently but when I came to changing my apple id it won't let me use my icloud address is say it can't be a apple generated email account now I find that kinda strange that a "APPLE ID EMAIL ADDRESS CANNOT BE APPLE ID GENERATED ACCOUNT". Is there anyway around this? or I'm I missing something here?
    Thanks

    If your account becomes locked for any reason and Apple need to contact you, they cannot do so on an email account that is locked, hence the requirement for an alternate address.

  • I changed my Apple ID for an iphone 4s and need to change the iCloud Apple ID/password.  I am unable to change the Apple ID under the iCloud account information without the password which no longer exists.  How can I update my phone?

    I had to change the Apple ID used for my iphone 4s.  How do I change the Apple ID for the iCloud information? - the old Apple ID/password no longer exists and this information is requested to make a change.  I am unable to change the Apple ID for the iCloud account.

    Apple IDs never go away, so it still exists.
    But lets be clear. You actually stopped using an Apple ID and created a NEW Apple ID. You didn't just change the email address of your Apple ID? That means that all of the music and apps purchased with the old Apple ID will have to be purchased again.
    If you really did create a new Apple ID you will need the password associated with the old one to disable Activation Lock. There is no way around this. As I said, the old one still exists. You can use the standard tools to recover the password at https://appleid.apple.com.

  • Just got new iPad trying to transfer info from old iPad onto new one without losing stuff, Just got new iPad trying to transfer info from old iPad onto new one without losing stuff

    Just bought new iPad trying to transfer everything I have on the old one over to the new is there anyway I can do this without losing stuff

    In most countries, music and apps can be downloaded for free in the iTunes/App stores if you log into the new iPad using the Apple ID with which you used to purchase them. The same goes for most films. You can also sync the old iPad with a computer and then sync the new one with the same computer, and restore it from the backup you made of the old iPad.
    If you have notes and emails on the old iPad, go into 'System Preferences' and make sure they are saved into the iCloud. You can then retrieve them from the cloud by logging in to the same email/iTunes accounts on the new iPad.
