HT204053 My daughter has been using my Apple ID, if she gets her own Apple ID, will she lose her purchases and contacts

My family has been using my Apple ID for apps and itunes. They now would like their own Apple ID's.
Do they lose previously purchased music, apps and contacts?

To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.

  • My daughter has been using my iTunes account to buy music and apps. I now want to set up a separate iTunes account for her, with a different login. How can we transfer the music and apps she has already bought to her new iTunes account?

    Hello, thank you for your prompt answer. I did have an idea that Home sharing might be the answer but could not quite figure out how to do it. I have enabled home sharing in my iTunes account, put in username and password, clicked on creat etc. But the homs sharing icon doew not appear in the left side of iTunes. So I got stuck. Any further ideas?

  • I'm in London for a semester and I met someone here. My iMessage has been useful for chatting with friends from home, but I'd like to add this guy to my contacts and iMessage him. I can't iMessage him (he has functional iMessage on his iPhone).

I can't iMessage him (he has functional iMessage on his iPhone). Why doesn't my phone recognize him to have iMessage? Do I have to turn my data on and my airport off to send a message before it recognizes that he has iMessage?

    Call AppleCare, because, according to Apple, removing the devices from your support profile should have fixed this issue. You can also try changing your Apple ID password, but given what you've done, I doubt this will help.

  • After I edited my contact list on my iphone I set up the icloud account.  Now all of my old contacts have been added to the edited ones.  If I delete the icould will I lose all of my contacts or just the ones brought in by icloud?

    You cannot delete an Apple ID, you can just stop using it. If your photos are still on your phone now, then I suggest you do back them up. Transfer them from the phone into your iPhoto Library. iCloud only backs up your Camera Roll automatically. But the Camera Roll only contains new photos that were taken but not yet transferred using iTunes.

  • If I make a new apple id or I cloud account will I lose my pictures and contacts etc..

    If I make a new apple id or I cloud account will I lose my pictures and contacts etc..

    If this is becuase you cannot access your old account I would try everything first before making a new account.
    expresslane.apple.com or http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/account/ or 1-800-APL-CARE.
    If you delete the icloud account from your device it will remove the photostream and documents stored in the cloud from the device (if you're using iwork or another app that uses icloud to sync documents).
    Photos from the camera roll will still be there.
    It will ask if you want to keep the contacts, calendars, reminders, and bookmarks.
    If you want to save your contacts choose "Keep on my iphone"
    If you create a new apple ID you won't lose anything except your previous purchases, meaning if you wanted to redownload that app you paid for before, you will have to pay for it again with the new ID.

  • If I create a new Apple ID and I delete the old one, Will I lose my purchases and data?

    If I create a new Apple ID and I delete the old one, my books, songs, docs and all the data that my old Apple ID contained including my purchased Apps will appear in my new Apple ID and its associated Icloud?
    I want to create a new Apple ID but do not lose my data and purchases, How could I do it?

    Are you entering your Existing Email Address for which you have Access and also are you Entering the Password which Matches Apple Requirement ?
    Enter the Email Address that you already have (like Gmail, Yahoo, MSN, Live, etc) but you have never used it for creating Apple ID before.
    Passwork Requirement is Minimum 8 Characters, Alpha Numeric and Password should Content atleast 1 Upper Case and 1 Lower Case Letter. You will find the more detail on the same page when Creating Apple Id and iTunes will give you Error if the Password you enter does not match their requirement.

    Your contacts are helpd on the server, so if you sign out from your iCloud account and sign into another one they will disappear. If you sign back into the original account they will reappear.

    Hi, Anndrei07
    This is expected behavior. Upon initial sign in to the iTunes Store (or a new iTunes Store region), you will be asked to accept the Terms and Conditions, as well as enter account information/billing information.
    For more, please see the following resources:

  • HT203167 Someone has been using my credit card to download games. this has happened before when I  had a different credit card on my itunes account. the apple store on that previous time would not give me the ip address where the downloads ended up.

    Someone I entrusted my computer to for repairs decided to keep it. all my personal information was on the computer. the peron has been using my credit card information o make ourchases from the apple store. If I do not have a credit card on the account on my iphone, I am unable to updatw it or my ipad. After persuading the apple store people to delete the last credit card info, I had to put aother credit card on the iphone to be able to update the software and thevapps. now that card is being used by the person o download war games on the new card. I cannot find any of his downloaded games on any of my devices. I am close to giving up my iphone and ipad. the last time i called the apple store, theynwould not give me the IP address of the omputer the games were downloaded to. they only gave me the name of my ipad. anyone could name thir ipad according to the name on mynipad. I have found the Apple store less than friendly about security matters like this. What can I do to maintain my acount and not continue to be ripped off by the thieving interloper? if i change my user name nd password, i will forever lose legitimate purchases. Please advise me.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    Is the credit card registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management
    Each time that you add or change your card details then a temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid (though that is usually $1 or the approximate local equivalent) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
    Did your daughter owe any amounts to iTunes ? Does anything show on your purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727 ? If they are proper charges which you don't think that you should have then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    I just got this message and sent it to [email protected] per instructions on another post. the link leads to a page asking for Apple id and credit card information.

    I got a similar email. It's obviously Spam. The double period afetr the first sentence and the otherwise poor grammar are dead giveaways even before I checked out the link embedded. -- I didn't click on it, just hovered over it to get the url. And the return address was [email protected] Very bogus.

  • I have just been sent an email to say that my apple id has been used to download ibooks.  I have now changed my passport but want to know if I will be charged as I did not download this ?

    I have been sent an email to say that my apple id has been used to download ibooks.  I have now changed my password as I have not downloaded ibooks.  I would like to know if I am going to be charged ?

    Was it a genuine email from Apple or a phishing attempt to try and get your account and payment details ? Whether you will be charged will depend if anything was downloaded on your account, and whether or not it was a free item - we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know if anything has been bought on your account.
    The iBooks app is free app, but if you haven't already done so then check to see if anything shows on your account's purchase history : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store.
    If a purchase shows there and you didn't make it, and nobody else has access to your account or devices and made it, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • My husband has been using my daughters apple if to log in to his ipad.  can i set him up with his own apple id for this ipad?  if so, how?

    my husband got an ipad.  he has been using my daughters apple id to log in to his ipad.  she has an ipod touch.  how do i make him his own apple id?

    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
    If y do not want to use the common ID then:
    Note
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

    Hi I have itunes UK on my lap top and my daughter has been bought an Itunes USA gift card how can I use this please?

    Gift cards can only be used in the country in which they are purchased - so in order to use a US gift card you would need to have a US iTunes account.
