I want to know if we can change our Apple ID without losing all our apps and informations?

Hi,
I wanted know if we can change our Apple ID without losing all our apps and information?  We've been having problems with our current emails, and we want to change to a different email address.  However, we've been hearing that everything associated with our emails now can be deleted.. We don't know if that's true or not?  Thank You

Hi Elizan,
Just to make sure you are aware - it is REALLY important to delete the iCloud account on your devices and computers before you change your ID! As the article that picas provided, you should also sign out of Messages, Facetime, etc. but the iCloud one is the one that will cause you real grief if you don't delete it before the change.
Just wanted to let you know!
Cheers,
GB

  • HT1420 I just bought my cousin's ipod, and I want to update it on my computer.  However, it needs authorization from his account to keep all the apps, and he's already authorized it on 5 computers.  How can I update this ipod without losing all the apps?

    You cannot use someone else's apps without violating the license agreement. The apps are tied to the owner (via Apple ID). The right thing to do would be to update and start fresh.

  • HT2623 how can i restart my email without losing all my apps

    i want to chose a new email for my phone to recieve but don't want to lose all my apps.  I do not believe I set up icloud when I originally got my phone or ipad

    Depends on exactly what you want iCloud to do. This should be a good starting point: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/
    For email and syncing Notes, Contacts, Calendars etc, you pretty much set it up as you would any mail account.

    Contact sales support by web chat. They can cancel your current subscription and transfer you to the new one if you are within certain criteria. Otherwise you may need to wait until your subscription runs out and then sign up later.

    hello dear admin

    there is also a secret 4-digit password that is called the PIN on your SIM card (for GSM devices). This code can be changed easily in the options.
    Oh my...and I learn something new today again! And I thereby find myself wondering why we have two separate and distinct things in one device but that both things have identical nomenclature? Ah well...I stop wondering quickly! Thanks, my friend!
    Well, the PIN stands for personal id number. It is maily used for what is called smartcards. In Europe, all VISA cards have a little microchip in addition to the magnet ribbon. The 4-digit code is called the smartcard PIN.
    guess what ? On a SIM card, there is the same PIN code. It's nearly the same technology (in fact the SIM card is a little memory card (to store address book & SMS) but it's also a little calculator, which main usage is to calculate whether the PIN typed is correct (hence the name : smartcard). Other ciphering features can be involved, like X.509 PKI, digital signing and decryption too.
    I have always wondered why RIM decided to call their BlackBerry electronic ID the same name. The only worse thing would have been to call it EMEI or ESN. Or GSM lol !!!!!
    - "please type your GSM code".
    - huh ?
    - "please type your GSM code (2)"
    - wft ?
    - "Please typr your GSM code (last chance)"
    - 900MHz
    - "Your SIM card has just been bricked. Please buy a GoDaddy card."

  • I have a late 2012 iMac and a late 2009 mac mini.  I want to know if I can take the 8 GB of ram from the iMac and install it in my mac mini.

    I have a late 2012 iMac and a late 2009 mac mini.  I want to know if I can take the 8 GB of ram from the iMac and install it in my mac mini.
    According to Cruicial my mac mini could use:
    Module Size: 8GB Kit (4GBx2)
    Package: 204-pin SODIMM
    Feature: DDR3 PC3-8500
    Specs: DDR3 PC3-8500 • CL=7 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1066 • 1.35V • 512Meg x 64
    Also According to Cruical my iMac uses:
    Module Size: 8GB Kit (4GBx2)
    Package: 204-pin SODIMM
    Feature: DDR3 PC3-12800
    Specs: DDR3 PC3-12800 • CL=11 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1600 • 1.35V
    I want to increase the ram in both computers. 
    So,  can I put the iMac ram in my mac mini and then I'd only have to buy ram for my iMac?  Naturally the ulitmate test will be when I actually install it,  but having an expectation of success or failure will allow me to plan on what to spend money on.
    Thanks,
    Bear

    Thanks for the responses.  I probably wont even try as my priority is Ram for the mac mini.  2 is not enough.  8 for my imac is okay for now. 
    Somewhere I thought I'd heard that faster Ram would simply clock at the lower speed.  It seems that I am incorrect.
    Thanks,

    Hello lynnettefromsk,
    The article linked below details all of the locations that you may need to change your Apple ID. This process should not affect the state of anything on the device at the time.

    You are talking about the menu bar of Itunes, right?
    Yes. With iTunes open the menu bar is at the top of your screen.
    where exactly is the Store/synck you iphone option?
    After you authorize the computer connect your iPhone then follow the instructions here > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    When you are done transferring the data to the desktop, right or control click the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click Back Up.
    That way you will have a backup just in case you need to restore your iPhone.

  • How can I sync my iPhone 4 with a new MacBook Pro without losing all my data and settings?

    I used to sync my iPhone 4 with a PC running Windows XP until the hard drive died. Thankfully, I already had a backup of all my iTunes media (Songs, TV Shows, Movies, Podcasts, Apps, etc), so when I bought a new MacBook Pro, transferring my iTunes library was easy.
    My problem now is that I want to sync my iPhone 4 with my new MacBook Pro without losing all the data and settings. I have already used iTunes to back it up and transfered my purchases onto the mac. I just need help to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing app data, emails, contacts, settings.
    Everytime I click on the tabs (to sync contacts, apps, music, et al), I get an error message that reads:
    "Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone “Ryan's iPhone” will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library."
    What do I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ryan
