If I create a new AppleID or switch my current AppleID to another existing AppleID of mine different than the current one on my iPad, will I loose all my purchased applications in the machine?
I have purchased quite a few applications on my existing iPad. At this time, I would like to change my current iPad appleID to a different ID. Can I still keep all the application I purchased in the past? If I can, what should I do to achieve that?
Well at least you do understand the predicament that you will find yourself in when you finally part ways with your current job.
An Apple ID is really just a username that happens to also be an email address. When people change email providers, they change their Apple ID's to reflect the new email address. It doesn't change anything in the way of what they have purchased. I see no reason why you couldn't change your Apple ID email address to your own personal email address. It would be no different than changing email providers.
I'm taking you on your word, that you purchased these apps with your own credit card/iTunes gift cards or whatever means that you personally use to make iStore purchases.
read this for more information on how to go about changing your Apple ID.
Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID
What you do not want to do is to create a new Apple ID and start making purchases with another ID. That's when you can get into the problems that come with associating your device with another ID.

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

If I make a new Apple ID will I loose all my purchases on my old account?
My Apple ID isn't working as it keeps asking me for my security question and I have forgotten them so I go to send myself and email to reset them but i don't recieve the email. So if I make a new account will I loose my purchases on my old ID?
You will only be able to update the apps on the old account using that old account UNLESS you buy them all over again on the new account.
Apps are always tied to the account they were bought/downloaded on. -

The apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased. Your computers will need to be authorized for that account and you will have to use that account to upsate the apps.

No. There is no AOL browser for the iPad if that is what you are asking.

I created a new apple id because the previous one no longer exists as an email (domain had to be cancelled). I keep seeing the old one pop up in my iPhone for which I don't remember the password. How can I get rid of it??? Or how can I reset the password if the email doesn't exist??? I also tried answering a question (my date of birth) but it says it's wrong.
I'm really frustrated with the apple id!!!
Frustrated!!!In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
Thanks for your help. -
I am on a shared computer with several profiles. I had to delete my profile and create a new one. Now, my question. It transferred to Purchased Items to the new iTunes, so how do I get the rest of the songs to transfer to new iTunes?
It sounds like you might have broken links to your content. Either repair these by putting the files you've recovered where iTunes expects to find them or delete the broken entries then go to iTunes Store > Purchased > Music > Not on This Computer, and click the download links.
If you have an Apple device see also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Will I lose all my purchased apps if I create a new Apple id. Thanks Colin.

You will not lose the apps but you will not be able to update them without using the old ID. If you got a new email address, you can simply change your Apple ID. There is no need to create a new one.

I just bought a new macbook air. Now i want to sync my iphone to this computer. I copied all my songs and apps to the itunes. If I sync do i loose all my contacts and notes? because i could not copy it to itunes
You need to use the backup of your PC to transfer all the music files to iTunes on the Mac.
If you have no backup then you have a difficult task ahead of you as iTunes will only allow you to sync purchased music from the iPhone back into iTunes. Any music you loaded into iTunes yourself will not transfer from the iPhone to iTunes, this is to prevent stealing of music. To sync iTunes purchased music from the iPhone to iTunes, connect the iPhone and open iTunes, but when asked do NOT sync the device. then right click on the iPhone in the iTunes source list and select the 'Transfer Purchases' option, you will also find this commend in the File menu.
If you are in the US, you can use the new iTunes in the Could feature to redownload your iTunes purchased music / apps / books for free.
If you want to transfer all the content from your iPhone to you Mac then you will need to use Google to find a 3rd party piece of software that will do this for you. -
Hi, If I buy a new iPad, iOS 8, will I lose all my purchases that are on my 4 year old iPad, iOS 5.5.1? If not, how do I keep them?
Follow the instructions here or here; using the first set of instructions then requires syncing the second device with the iTunes library containing the content.

My exwife took the ITunes acount! i need to open a new one but i dont want to loose all my apps
Sorry, but the apps are tied to the former iTunes Store account, and if your ex wife was granted ownership, you no longer have a legal right to the apps and will have to purchase them again through your own new iTunes Store account.

I am wanting to put the new firmware on to my iPhone 4 and am wondering if I do this from another computer will I loose all my data - i.e music
No you will not lose any data. However a pop up will come up telling you if you want to sync with this computer, and that if you do, that it will erase the data. Just click "No" and you can still update your phone. I've done this a few times.
