You should not create a new AppleID. Simply update your old AplpeID with any new info.

You cannot use a gift card balance to gift iTunes store content to others.

  • How do I change my old apple ID to the new one/won't let me access

    I recently changed my apple ID. Everything I turn on my phone, it asks me to login into my apple ID but the old one keeps popping up instead of the new one. When I put in my passcode, it says that the ID or password is wrong...which is expected because my old apple ID still comes up...and it won't let me do anything on my iphone. I can't reset it, delete my account, or anything because the old apple ID still comes up. How can I change this. I have the iphone 4s by the way and it is updated to IOS 7, i don't know if that changes anything. Thanks.

    have you managed to resolve this problem as i have the same one?

  • I have an older generation of Ipod and I am trying to upload all my songs from my old Ipod to my new Itunes account. How can I change my old Apple ID to my new one so I can keep all my songs without having to buy or hunt for them all over again?

    Please help I am having the hardest time trying to get all my songs on to one account to make my life easier, but my Ipod is registered under an old apple account and I want to change it so all my old songs go onto my new apple ID. Any suggestions, please help?

    Sorry meffie, you cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another. Are the songs under the old ID all purchased via iTunes?
    If so, then sign onto the iTunes on the computer with your old ID and Authorize the computer for that Apple ID: Store on the top menu, then click on Authorize This Computer.
    Once it is Authorized, you can then go to the iTunes Store and under Quick Links on the right-hand side, click on Purchased. Then click on Music, Songs, Not In this Library, and you should be able to see all of your purchased music, which you can download to your iTunes library individually by clicking on the cloud next to the song, or you can click on Download All at the bottom of the screen to download all of the tunes.

  • HT5622 how do i change my old apple id to a new one?

    i got my girlfriend iphone and it still has her apple id on there ive already made an apple id account just cant get it to show up

    What model iPhone & what iOS version? If running iOS 6.0 or higher, its important you do the following:
    Turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings.
    Then,  set things up using YOUR Apple ID.

  • I have most of my music stored on my old iphone. i bought a new I pad, and signed up with a new e mail adress as my old one is defunct. How do i change my e mail adress to the new one, because it keeps telling me apple id already in use.

    You can change the primary email address on an account by logging into it via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, or via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into it.
    You won't be able to change it to an email address that is being used an alternate or rescue email address on the account (they can be viewed/changed/removed via http://appleid.apple.com), nor to one that is currently being used as the primary email address on an account

    How do I change my old Apple ID to my new Apple ID for the iCloud?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Open System Preferences > iCloud, and turn off each service individually if you don't want to lose contacts, calendars, notes and reminders. If you don't want to be kept, just select Sign Out.
    Then, you will be able to log in with a new Apple ID, so do it and follow the steps

    Only the Apple ID used to buy an app can update an app. Apple does not merge Apple IDs and Apple does not transfer content biught with one ID to another ID.

  • HT204053 how do i change the old apple id to my new id on my ipod touch so i can download new apps?

    can anyone help me change my apple id to my new one?

    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.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

  • How do I change me current Apple ID to a new?

    My current Apple ID is a aol.com (for purchases, etc) and I most recently got iCloud set up with a @me.com   email.
    I want to make my primary email to be the @me.com   email for my Apple ID. Although when I go through the steps
    to change the ID from aol it states that I can't use a @me.com   email.  Hopefully there's help out there.
    Thanks in advance

    Don't do it!
    All your purchases are linked to your Apple ID. You can change your email address as much as you want but your Apple ID is just a jumble of characters that happens to look like an email address.
    A new Apple ID will not enable you to use your previously purchases apps, music, movies, etc.
    If you created a new Apple ID already, don't use it and don't buy anything with it.
    What's worse is that if you already created a new Apple ID, [email protected] for example, you won't be able to use [email protected] as an email for your existing Apple ID. Yes I know that doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's the way it is.

  • HT1414 How do I change my original Apple ID to my new email address? I have changed it but when I go to the App Store, the old id keeps coming up and I no longer have a password for it. Therefore I can't download anything.

    I have tried to change my Apple ID and was successful but when I go to the App Store my Apple ID appears as the old one. I no longer have a password for it. Now I can't download anything. What do I do?

    Your apps were purchased under the old ID, so they will have to be deleted and re-purchased/downloaded under your new one.

  • Cant use existing apple id or create new one on a new ipod, why ?

    Hello, my friend has been using my Apple ID but now he bought a new iPod and he wants to have his own Apple ID but also transfert everything from his old one to the new one. However, when trying to set up the new iPod, it won't take my Apple ID or create a new one and i don't understand why. I think to transfer the datas, i have to restore using his old one's name and that's it ?.But when he puts iTunes on his own computer, is everything gonna be transferred from his iPod to iTunes ?

    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them and can't be transferred between acounts
    - 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.

  • How can i change an existed apple id with credit card in a none credit card?

    ??

    That is "activation lock". You won't be able to use the iPhone unless this is cleared by the original owner.

  • How can I change my primary apple id to a new email address?

    I have an apple id that is linked to an email address that will be changing?  I would somehow like to change my primary address so that I can still access my apple id via an email address that isn't an me.com account.  Also, I had other apple id accounts like to different email addresses that I would now like merged together with my current apple id.  Is that possible?

  • How can I transfer my old Apple ID purchases into new one?

    Dear All,
    Recently I decided to change my email address for some security reasons. Now I need to change my apple ID but there is a problem:
    I have purchased a lot of things by my ID  ( OSX as well as iTunes) and really don't want to pay for them again.
    Here is the question: How can I transfer all those purchases to the new ID and how can I close ( deactivate) that old Apple ID ?
    Thanks

    You can't. Apple will not merge IDs and Apple will not move content from one ID to another.
    There is no need for a new ID, just change the primary email address in the current ID and change your password if you are concerned about security.
