HT5796 If I change my Apple ID will I lose my music and apps?

I'm planning on changing my Apple ID but I'm worried I'll lose my music and apps and anything else I did while using my previous Apple ID. That's why I wanted to know if I'll lose the apps and music I had downloaded and paid for. 

You won't, but they won't be transferred to the new Apple ID afterwards; the applications will need to be updated from the old one, and you may need to be signed into the iTunes Store with it to make in-app purchases from them.

  • If I make an apple Id,will I lose my songs and apps

    If I make an apple Id,will I lose my songs and apps?

    You can create another Apple ID for yourself. The songs and Apps you bought will remain on your device. Whenever there will be an update to an App bought with your mum's Apple ID though, you will be prompted to enter her Apple ID and its password.
    Same thing with the songs. If you delete them at anytime, a re-download will require her Apple ID and its password.
    Apart from that, don't worry about creating a new Apple ID, you can have several different Apple IDs... just don't mess them up.

  • HT1918 will i lose my music and apps when i change itunes account

    can i change itunes account info and keep all my downloaded music?

    Why would you make a new itunes account?
    All of your purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchasd.  You will need to authorize your computers for that account.

    Apps are forever tied to the AppleID that purchased them.  Non-responsive apps have absoultely nothing to do with the AppleID.
    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

    Delete your account in 1. "Settings > iCloud" + 2. "Settings > Messages > Send & Receive" + 3. "Settings > FaceTime", but still let them using your account for iTunes and app purchases in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Of course, please make sure that they do not know your password to set up your account for iCloud again or purchase anything alone.

  • If I make a new Apple ID, will I lose my downloads and purchases from my old ID?

    I got my first iPod (a nano) about 6 years ago and I was only 11 back then so my mom created an Apple ID for me. I've been purchasing music and apps from that account. I just recently got an iPhone and since my mom does not remember her account info (like her email - as we've discovered trying to use iCloud), I want to make a new ID. Please help.

    You can't transfer an account's balance nor its purchases to another account - purchased will remain tied to the account that bought/downloaded them.
    For his security questions, if he has a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on his account then he can go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into his account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side he should see an option to send security question reset info to hie rescue email address.
    If he doesn't have a rescue email address (he won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then he won't get the reset option - he will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
    e.g. he can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset (and if he doesn't already have a rescue email address) he can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or, if it's available in your country, he could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • 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)

  • If i change my Apple ID, will i lose my apps? Will i have to redownload all of them? Will i lose all my pictures, notes, etc.?

    I was wanting to change my Apple ID, because some of my apps were not responding. Do you think that if i changed the ID that i would get those apps back? Or is there another solution?

    Apps are forever tied to the AppleID that purchased them.  Non-responsive apps have absoultely nothing to do with the AppleID.

  • If I deauthorize my iPad and authorize it with a new Apple ID, will I lose the previously purchased apps?

    I want to deauthorize an iPad and authorize it with a new Apple ID but I dont want to lose the apps that were purchased under the first Apple ID. Will this happen?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You won't lose the programmes, but you won't be able to update them as it will ask you for your old Apple ID to update

  • 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.

  • Will it affect my music and apps if I make a new iTunes account for iMessage?

    I made a new apple account and i want to know if it will affect my iPod if I do.

    Hi bakingkatie,
    It sounds like you want to use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another for iTunes Store purchases.  Here's an article that should help explain how that will work:
    Using your Apple ID for Apple services
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4895
    When you set up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can use the same Apple ID for iCloud services and purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore. You can also use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You will get all the benefits of iCloud whether you use the same Apple ID for iCloud and store purchases, or different IDs for each.
    Have a good one!
    - Ari

  • If I want to change my Apple ID will my apps from the previous Apple ID get deleted?

    If I want to change my Apple ID will my apps from the previous Apple ID get deleted?

    No, it will just ask you for the password to your old Apple ID to update the apps in the future. Unless your talking about simply changing the email address associated with your Apple ID account.
