If I change my Apple ID on my iPhone what will I lose

If I change my Apple ID on my iPhone will I lose my pictures I've taken with the phone, my texts, and contacts

Hi Tracy,
If you go to Manage your Apple ID and edit your existing Apple ID to a new email address, then everything will remain in place: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Be sure to delete your iCloud account on any device that it is signed onto first and also sign out of iTunes on those devices!!! Then go into Manage your Apple ID, change and verify the new ID, and then go back into your devices and sign onto iCloud and iTunes with your new ID.
Cheers,

  • If I change my Apple ID to Gmail or hotmail will I receive all the emails from that address on my apple devices

    If I change my Apple ID to Gmail or hotmail will I then receive the emails for that email address on my apple device?

    It doesn't matter who your email provider is with regard to receiving emails on Apple devices. You should be able to set up an email account in the mail app whether you use Gmail or Hotmail. Do you already have an email account with one of those two providers?

  • How do you change your apple id on your iphone 5

    how do you change your apple id on your iphone 5. I also increased storage and cannot update to latest software upgrade! ANNOYING!!!!
    Yes, I logged in and out of the Ap Store and it is correct on that end. I have signed in on my PC too and connected cell. I am out of tactics to resolve! Please help!

    If your phone is signed into an old ID and you are trying to change it to an updated version of the old ID, do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  When finished goThen go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4?

    How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4. I am able to access my iTunes account using my new ID and password on my computer; however, my iphone has a different Apple ID and I do not have cannot access iTunes on this phone. 

    Also, if you have iCloud, you will probably also want to change the iCloud account on the phone to be yours:
    Settings>iCloud - if Account is not yours, go to the bottom and Delete Account. Then sign back on with your iCloud account info.

  • If I change my apple ID to a different one will I loose all my purchases from my existing ID

    Hi There
    I currently have several email addresses that I no longer use for email - because I now use the address that ends @me.com as my primary email address, and so I am cleaning up my digital life, by deleting these unused email addresses. 
    The problem is, one of these unused email addresses that ends in @btinternet.com is also my Apple ID for iTunes and the App Store.  I know I can change this to something else, so I thought I would change it to my Windows Live address ending @hotmail.com (I need to keep this because its used for my XBOX Live Account).
    So if I change my Apple ID to my @hotmail.com account, I will then have only three email addresses, my @hotmail.com address used for my XBOX Live account and my Apple ID, an @gmail.com address, used for password recovery, and my @me.com address, which is used as my primary email address.
    That will be better than have lots and lots of different email addresses, but here is the question:  If I change my Apple ID to my @hotmail.com, will I still be able to access my purchases from iTunes and the App Store that I bought usinfg my @btinternet.com ID.  This is very important because I have spend 100s of pounds on music, videos and apps from iTunes, as well as purhased software and OS X upgrades from the App Store.
    I will be deleting my @btinternet.com email address from the BT/Yahoo service, so the address will no longer be active.  When I was reading Apple's help and support, it said that "Apple recomends that you use an active email address".
    Can someone advise me
    Thanks

    when you change your Apple iD it's pretty much changing the visual email, i guess that doesn't really answer your question, yes you keep your purchases, it just changes the log-in email and email where newsletters , etc. go to.

  • How do i change an apple id on an iphone 4 but keep my contacts and calendars in the process?

    Hi ive had 2  iphone 4's under the same apple id for the past yr. One phone is my fathers and the other phone is mine. I want to create an apple id for my dad and change his apple id on his iphone but keep his contacts and calendars. Can that be done and how do i do it?

    Run iTunes, and you can select all the music that is on there and delete it if you wish.  Then deauthorize the computer from your account if she won't be playing any of the music you bought on your account (this can be done under the store tab).  Then have her sign out of your account on iTunes and then sign into hers.  Also have her authorize the computer for her account.

  • How can I change my apple ID on my iPhone? It's tied to a dead email address that's inaccessible.

    How can I change my apple ID on my iPhone? It's tied to a dead email address that's inaccessible. I can log in on my computer with updated id, however I can't find where to change old email. The settings displays new id. When I try to update or buy an app on my phone it automatically puts in the dead email address and asks for the password.
    Please help! Thanks.

    Sync with iTunes so you have a backup. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings. Restore the unit as New. Reconfigure for your new ID and password. Restore your apps, etc. from backup.

    Hello erbim,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The Apple ID you sign in with will allow you access to the purchases made on that ID.

  • HT204088 how do you change the apple id on an iphone

    I am trying to update my personal info. connected with my Itunes account, apple Id, etc. but cannot seem to change the Apple ID on my Iphone.

    You can log out of the currently logged in account on the phone by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and you can then log in with a different account (though all of the iTunes downloads on the phone will remain tied to the account that downloaded it) - if you've updated your existing account then logging out and back in should 'refresh' the account on it.
