Can i change my apple id on some devices that i have and not lose my apps and settings?
Yes. However, note that all Apps purchased/downloaded under one Apple ID will forever be tied to it, and will require it to update. They will run, but will not update without the other Apple ID
You can go to Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID and change it there for the stores.
You can also go to Settings->iCloud, Facetime, Messages, and change it for those individual services.

I set up a new user on my network today and am now in a location without access to that network. I just set her up as a user on her macbook but I can't log in with her credentials. Is that because I am not on the network and it is the initial setup?
You need to set the option to create a mobile account using the Directory Utility app.

I received what appears to be a reconditioned iPod Touch 4th for Christmas. How do I change the Apple ID on the device to my ID so I can use my iTunes account? Thanks for any help/
It would probably be best to attach the iPod to a computer and restore it. This way you'll know it's wiped clean. Then, when you start up the iPod it will ask you for your Apple ID.

I have a lot of Apple Works 6 documents that I can not open now that I Have OS X 10.7.2 and iWork 4.1 (Pages'09). How can I open and convert those documents. I really need those documents.
Pages '09 (4.1) should have no problem opening your AW6 word processing documents.
You can open an AW6 wp file in Pages by -
• Do a Get Info on the AW6 file, then choose Pages from the Open With pulldown menu. Close the Get Info window, then double-click the AW6 file. If you want to do this to all of them, befoe closing the Get Info window click the "Change all" button just under the previous pulldown menu.
• Start up Pages, use the Open item in the File menu to navigate to and open the AW6 file.
• Drop the AW6 file onto the icon for Pages. -
Can I sync or merge my music from two different devices if I have two different e mail addresses and apple ids? If so how?
Yes, if you choose the Erase and Sync option (or restore your iPod) you will be allowed to sync your iPod with the new computer.
If you would like to save the content that's currently on your iPod, see this older thread from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to copy the content on an iPod back to your PC.

How can I change the Apple ID on a device?
I have two cell phones, one for my wife and one for me, and an Ipad. Somehow I ended up paying for ICloud back up twice because one phone is under a different apple ID. I want to change the apple ID on that phone so it can have the same Icloud backup package and I can get rid of the extra plan.
Hello dennis6720,
The first thing is make sure that you pick the iCloud account that you want to keep storage for and downgrade the storage for the other account. Once that is done then it is a matter of signing out of iCloud by going to Settings > iCloud ,scroll down to the bottom and tap sign out. Then it is a matter of signing in to the iCloud account that has the storage and you are good to go. The articles below give you more information.

HI! My husband and I share an itunes account, we have different taste in music and are sick of each others crap (so to speak haha). I want to open a new itunes account for him, without him losing his data, music and photos. How do we do this?
Each device only syncs waht you select.
Select only what you want for each phone. -

I typed the wrong apple ID and now I have no access to my ICloud. How can I change my apple ID on my Icloud?
I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Posting your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile.
You should be able to change that address at My Apple ID -
Can i change my ipad 3 to ipad 4 that purchase about 2 month ago in Malaysia
can i change my ipad 3 to ipad 4 that t have purchase about 2 month ago in Malaysia?its kinda unfair for the user that brought within 3month.
Apple's returns policy for items bought from them is 14 days (though some US stores are/were allowing 30 days). If you bought it from a different store then check their returns policy.

How can I change the Apple ID on one phone but the other. Right now they both use the same ID.
Sure.
For the iTunes/App store...Settings>iTunes/App Store...tap the ID shown, sign out...now, sign back in with the ID you want to use. Be aware, any apps obtained with the old ID can only be updated using that ID, as all apps are forever tied to the ID used to obtain them.
Fir iCloud: Settings>iCloud...turn everything off, including Find My Phone. For Contacts/Calendars, you'll be prompted to keep the data on the phone or delete it...your choice. Then, scroll down, Delete Account. Now, set everything back up using the new ID.
This won't affect any data stored at iCloud.com, or any other devices. -
I can't change my apple id password because my security answers don't match. It won't give me any other options and just keeps asking for the answers. What do I do?
Contact the Apple ID Security site from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 or call the AppleCare support number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with the Account security Team.

2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?
You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices. -
Someone made a purchase from my Apple ID to a device that was not mine – I received an email stating that this occurred, yet the only solution that Apple gave me was to change my password. When I look at my account, I can see the $20.00 purchase of music volumes that I did not purchase myself and was not uploaded to any of my devices; however, I cannot find a solution to getting my money back or to file a complaint against the unknown person that did this. Additionally, how do we prevent something like this from happening again, especially when I have an iPhone? What can I do in this situation?
Thank you for the suggestion. I did change the password; however, I generally will purchase gift cards to link to the account so that if something like this ever happened it would not be taken out of a credit card or bank account.
