If I create a new apple ID will I lose all the apps I have purchased with my original ID?

If I create a new apple ID will I lose all the apps I have purchased with my original ID?

I set up FaceTime and Messages on four different devices with only one Apple ID. I used the exact method that is described in the video that AnaMusic has provided to you in the link in her response above.  That method worked fine for my family, but you can create new Apple ID's just to use for FaceTime and Messages if you like. Many users prefer doing that as opposed to adding new email addresses.
IMO - using unique email addresses (like in the video) makes sense, because we (my family) all have different email addresses anyway, and it was very simple to add each family members email address to both apps and remove my Apple ID email address as the contact address on each device.
BTW .... if you are using your Apple ID on both devices - your phone number should be the number that is showing in the settings - not you daughter's. Did you set up the Apps with your Apple ID?

  • HT2731 if i set up a new apple id, will i lose all my previous downloads and purchases

    My daughter has been using my email as her apple id and we want her to get her own.  If she creates
    a new apple id, will she lose all her apps and music she has purchased?

    As the others stated purchases are inexorably linked to the Apple ID used to purchase them.
    An alternative solution is to create a new email address and Apple ID for yourself. The amount you have invested in purchases for your daughter vs. yourself will factor in this decision.
    If she doesn't want to use your email address, Apple IDs can be changed - not transferred, but changed to an email address not already associated with another Apple ID.
    One caveat to keep in mind is the age requirement for Apple IDs; thirteen years of age is the minimum. The only way for someone younger than that to legitimately have an Apple ID is for someone older to create one on her behalf.

  • I deleted my original email account which is tied with my original apple id account. If I create a new Apple account will I lose all of my music,videos, and apps?

    I deleted my email account that is tied with my original apple account. I created a new apple Id and I'm afraid that I will lose all of my previous purchases. Please help.

    Sort of.
    - Apps and other purchases are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - You have to log into the account opd do certain things with the purchases like transfer then to your computer.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    Try recovering yur PS for the first axccount so y can change the email address.
    How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
    If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. SeeChanging your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.
    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed.  If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.

  • If I put a different Apple ID in my iPhone will I lose all the apps I have already purchased through another Apple ID on the iPhone?

    My daughter and I share an apple account. She has an iPhone (she's had it about a month) & I have an iPad. All of her app downloads and iMessages are showing up on mine. If I set her up her own Apple ID is there a way that she won't lose all of the things she already downloaded? She's taking over my iPad with downloads & pics.

    The Apple ID needs to be a verified email address. Once you have an email address, that can be verified, go here & create the ID:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId
    Then on her phone, turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
    This will have no affect on the ID you both share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

  • HT204053 If I delete an apple ID from my device (ipad) in order to replace it with another, will I lose all the apps that are already on the device or will they stay there?

    If I delete an Apple ID from my device (ipad) in order to replace it with another Apple ID, will I lose all the apps/itunes/etc. that are already on the device or will they stay there?

    It won't delete anyting, it will only change the ID.

  • When switching my iphone to a new apple ID will i lose my songs, apps, and imessages?

    i currently share an itunes account with several people and devices. i would like to make my own apple ID. When switching my iphone to the new apple ID will i lose my songs, apps, and/or imessage conversations?

    You need a valid/working email address in order to create an account.
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:

    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
    Note that if yo chaghe acounts in Settings>iTunes and App Store media will NOT be deleted from the ipod but:
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • If I upgrade to ios 5.1.1 on my iPhone, will I lose all my apps or have to redownload them?, If I upgrade to ios 5.1.1 on my iPhone, will I lose all my apps or have to redownload them?

    If I upgrade to ios 5.1.1 on my iPhone, will I lose all my apps or have to redownload them?
    Or how can I prevent this?

    Now everything should remain the same as it was prior to the update.
    But a good practice is to always do a backup prior to any update - "Just in case"

  • If I re-install my podcast app with a different apple ID will I lose all the media from the older one ?

    I have the Podcast app installed on my iPhone with a lot if free media content downloaded.
    Now I need to re-install the app with a different apple ID.
    Will I lose all my content by doing do ?
    Please help. I don't want to lose anything.
    Please let me know if there is a work-around.

    You don't really want a new Apple Account (which is what you are describing) - all of your iTunes purchases will still be tied to the old Apple Account, all of your iCloud info will be under that old Account, all of your Messages will be under that old Account.
    Why not just to to Manage your Apple ID and edit your Apple ID to the new email you want it to be? You cannot edit an Apple ID using an Apple Domain email address (@me.com, @mac.com, @iCloud.com), but if your current ID is not using one of those type of email addresses, then changing it is the way you want to go. That way, everything stays with the Apple ID since it is the same Apple account.
    Just be sure to sign out of all apps on the device (iCloud, Messages, iTunes & App Store, FaceTime) before you change it.
    To EDIT your current Apple ID at Manage your Apple ID go to: Apple - My Apple ID

  • If I create a new Apple ID, will I lose my current stuff on iTunes?

    So, my current Apple ID is under an email that I deactivated (it was hacked into). I wanted to create a new ID using my current email. But will I lose everything on my iTunes library if I get a new one? Meaning is my music and apps and whatnot saved to my comuter or the application itself versus my Apple ID? I know that if I create a new ID that I can just transfer everything from my iPod to iTunes, but I have a 2G iPod Touch and it's a real pain in the neck when I sync it to iTunes (freezes/gets stuck/really slow).
    Sorry if this is a really dumb question.
    If this helps: I use the newest version (10.6 I believe? Just downloaded it a couple of days ago) for Mac.
    Thanks (:

    If you change ID nothing is going to reach out and delete files from your computer but anything requiring authorization would be problematic because they would be tied into your old ID. So, updating apps, or any movies you have, old DRM music...

  • HT204053 If I start using a new apple ID will I lose all my old purchases the next time I sync?

    Hello,
    I'm really, really confused and I'd appreciate some advice.  I came here after searching for information on merging two apple IDs so let me start my saying that I understand that I cannot do this.  I get that.  The FAQ says I just need to start using my preferred Apple ID from now on.  How exactly do I do this?  Is it as simple as logging in with the preferred ID next time I purchase something?  If I do that, what would happen to all my purchases under the old Apple ID the next time I sync my devices?
    Here is the background to my situation:
    I created an Apple ID when I first got an iPod many years ago.  It was my e-mail address at the time.  All my iTunes purchases have been made with that ID.
    I bought my first Mac a couple of years ago.  At the same time I purchased a MobileMe subscription.  My MobileMe subscription was later converted to an iCloud account.
    I'm no longer with the ISP that provided me with the e-mail address used for my first Apple ID.  My only e-mail account is now my me.com address.
    I tried to change my Apple ID to my new e-mail address but it said it couldn't be done because my me.com e-mail is already in use.
    All my iTunes receipts go to my old e-mail address that I no longer have access to.  I'd like my receipts to go to my me.com address.
    I have a MacBook Pro, iPhone 4S, iPod Touch (all synced through iCloud), I also have an iPod Shuffle.
    In order to get my iTunes and App Store receipts to go to my me.com address, I think the FAQs are telling me that I need to start using my me.com address as my preferred Apple ID.  It seems to gives me an option of changing my e-mail address for communications but as soon as it realises that it is a me.com address it says I can't do it.
    I'm concerned that if I just make make my next purchase with my me.com ID the next time I sync my devices I'll just have one song on there rather than my entire library.  Can somebody please guide me through this?

    You need to retain the ID you are currently using for iTunes in order to retain access to your purchases. You should go to http://appleid.apple.com and log in using the iTunes ID, and add a contact address there - you could get a GMail account (free). You may be able to forward mail on from GMail to your @me.com address, I'm not sure about that.
    You can continue to use the ex-MobileMe ID for iCloud - there is no problem about using two IDs in this way.

  • If i get a new apple ID will i lose all my money on my current one

    If you did not use any of the newly redeemd gift card you may be able to get that transferred to the new account but you have to contact Apple.
    Why not try recovering your old account?

  • If I delete an iTunes account on my iPhone, will I delete all the songs that were purchased with that account?

    I had an Apple ID that was linked to an old email address that was hacked into.  Now that Apple requires a login by using an email address, I had to change the email address/Apple ID on my pc.  My iPhone 4 will not allow me to change the Apple ID to the new ID which ultimately leaves me unable to connect to the cloud as well.  On my iPhone, it gives me the option to delete the account with the old Apple ID, but I am afraid that it may delete all the purchased music as well.  Does anyone know if it will delete my purchased music.  Verizon said this is an Apple problem and not a Verizon issue.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
    Thanks,
    Tracey

    Yes, pictures in Photo Stream will deleted. Only on photo stream not on iCloud and Camera Roll. You can login again if you want.

  • I have an Ipad2 and am thinking of upgrading to the ipad3.   If i do so can i transfer all the apps i have purchased to the new machine or do i have to buy them again.

    I have an ipad2 which i am thinking of upgrading to the new ipad3.
    I have purchased quite a few apps and wish to know if i can just use them on the new machine or will i have to purchase them again.

    If you register both iPads with the same Apple ID, all your previously purchased apps will be available for free in App Store under the "purchased" tab.
