If I change my apple ID does it effect anything I've previously purchased?

It affects everything you have purchased...apps, etc., are permanently tied to the Apple ID underwhich they were purchased/downloaded. They cannot be transfered to another Apple ID and IDs cannot be merged.

On your iPad? Or the email for your Apple ID? If the latter, see this article:

I changed my iTunes password and now I can't download previous purchases

I changed my iTunes password (but kept the same username), and now I can't re-download any songs that I purchased BEFORE changing the password.
When I follow the steps in the Apple support pages on how to re-download previously purchased songs, I am taken to my "Purchased" page in the iTunes store, but the songs I purchased before the password change don't show at all. Only the songs that I purchased after changing the password appear.
When I search for one of the older songs in the iTunes store, the menu bar to the right of the song says "purchased," confirming that I did indeed purchase the item. But again, I can't download it.
Again, I did not change my AppleID, only my password.
Does anyone know a fix for this? Thanks.

Hi hyperslam,
Are you certain that you are looking at "Purchased" here:
And not here:
You want to look for your Purchased items under QUICK LINKS not under the "Store" heading in the sidebar!

No. However, a Restrictions can be set that prevent changing accounts

HT2968 I changed my apple id and verified and when I make a purchase my old id comes up on my phone

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign OUT of the Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Recently changed my Apple ID and primary but emails go to previous primary email

Recently changed my Apple ID and primary email adress. Later I used the new Apple ID to download apps in Appworld. Then an email was sent by Apple to my OLD primary email indicating that the account has been used.
My old Email adress was my previous work and now they are receiving my security emails.
How do I change this that these security emails also go to my new primary email adress? New email adress was verified and in use.

You'll see that option after tapping on the email address. But you say that's grayed out... do you have restrictions enabled? Go to Settings > General > Restrictions. If they're on, it will ask for your restrictions passcode (could be different from the lock screen passcode). Enter the code and check if changes to "Accounts" have been restricted (you'll have to scroll down to see this).

HT1420 How can I change my Apple ID email for an account with 100s of purchases to the email address I have that (at some point) I logged into gamecenter and "claimed" it as another person?

^---topic
I have used a @yahoo email address for 10 years as my apple ID when purchasing things. The biggest problem being, that at some point, yahoo decided to delete the email account and I can't use it. I would like to use my email addresses that I actually use (@me, @gmail), but I guess I used them at some point to log into gamecenter or some other useless apple thing. I know you can change the email associated with your account, but apple is showing that my emails are already in use, so I can't use them for this purpose.

Change the email you used in "gamecenter or some other useless apple thing" then change your AppleID.

How do I change one persons apple id for a shared account, without losing previous purchases for either?

I have two children who have shared an Apple ID for the iPod Touches. The older is now getting an iPhone and is old enough to manage his own ID. My question is, if we set him up with a completely new Apple ID, will he be able to sync the phone with iTunes as a new device, even though iTunes currently syncs with his iPod? I guess what I'm asking is, can two different Apple ID's/devices sync with the same iTunes without messing up either device or getting the wrong information sync'd?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You don't. Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.

If I change my Apple ID, can I get my iTune and App purchases transferred from the old to the new ID?

I have a child who is now of age to create an Apple ID. If I create a new Apple ID, can I tranfer the iTune and App Store purchases from my existing Apple ID to the new one for my child?

No, it's not currently possible to transfer content from one account to another account - all items remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded them, so they will remain tied to your account.
As long as your account is authorised on the computer's iTunes that he/she syncs to, and those items are in its library, then he/she should be able to continue to have them on their device (though only your account will be able to download updates to those apps)

Is there a way to change your Apple ID and not lose anything without using cloud?

I have 2 phones associated with this account and I don't want to lose all of my pictures,musical, etc. please help

Thank-you for the reply, but the problem with that is that they wouldn't have the music either. Almost half of the songs our apple ID are kids songs.

TS1702 my payment option for apple ID is showing "billing problem with a previous purchase."It is not accepting my credit card.WHY? No reason given

Why is my application ot updated.

Have you previously bought items when you didn't have sufficient money on your account ? If not then try contacting iTunes support and ask them why it's appearing (these are user-to-user forums, nobody on here will know the actual reason) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then possibly Purchases, Billing & Redemption

What is the order in which I must change my Apple ID on all my Mac products:iTunes, iCloud for iphone-MacIntel- MacAirbook

I wish to change my email account on my AppleID. But I am faced with having to go back and forth between old and new emails/accounts to get ALL my Mac products changed to the new email address. I have needed to delete acounts, and then reset accounts back to the old account to only re-delete or re-set.
Is there a specific order in which to do update all my Mac products? What item do I reset first, what product follows the next? I do not have an ipad but might as well add it to the list for when I do get one and have to do this all again.
What I have done so far-
My apple ID is currently set to the original email account (aol) that I wish to delete.
my icloud on my iphone has been deleted
my iTunes is set to the old aol account
Now... what item gets changed first, second.....

First verify that your existing Apple ID password conforms to these rules:
If not, change your Apple ID password first.
To change your password read Apple ID: Changing your password
Then, sign out of all the Apple services on all your Apple products. Use the link in Step 8 of this document as a checklist to make sure you do all of them:
Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID
The order in which you change your Apple ID does not matter.
Subsequent to changing your Apple ID read and follow:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID

I just changed my apple password for iTunes. Is it now the password for all apple related accounts, like mail, iCloud, etc.?

When you change your Apple password, does the same password apply to itunes, mail, icloud etc. or do they all have separate passwords?

It's the same account and password - iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, Game Center, stores.
You may need to log out of your account on any iOS devices that you have by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated password so as to 'refresh' the account on it, and for Cloud.
There is an 'Update your settings for devices and services that need your Apple ID password' section on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2446 (the page is about resetting a password, but the principle is the same)

How can I change my Apple ID only in one of my devices?

Hello, I've got 2 iPhone, both connected to the same Apple ID. My question, as the title suggests, is: how can I change the Apple ID to one of these without losing the purchases made and without bothering the second iPhone which will remain with the old id? Is it possible?
Thank you!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Anything you do on one phone will not affect the other.
All you need to do is log out of iTunes and then back in using your other account details, you will no longer be able to update apps purchased under the first account.
If you change your iTunes account, you may not be able to change it back again for 90 days.
