If I make a new Apple ID can I take my old ID's music library over safely?

Currently our entire family shares one ID, but I want my own, yet all of my music library is manually sorted. Is there any way I can take all of my music over to a new library with a new ID without having to re sort them? Know this; majority of my music library is purchased through third party sources (Amazon, other digital download services etc.) though I had to manually sort all of them as almost all looked messy and incorrect in iTunes and I really don't want to go back through them all.

Also, if I can simply re-add my music will it format all nicely sorted like it currently is, or will I have to completely redo all of the information within iTunes all over again?
Thanks by the way for helping,
James

Just set up icloud with new apple id, can I still access old photostream?

I recently set up a new apple id using my gmail, had been using my aol email previously. After signing into icloud with the new apple id, obviously my photostream that existed under my old apple id is now gone. Is there a way I can still access the photostream from my old apple id or are those pics now lost?

Photo stream photos older than 30 days are gone unless they have already been downloaded to another device or computer. However, if they were still in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring the backup to your phone should recover them.

Will I lose everything if I make a new apple ID

I have been using my moms apple ID with her name and credit card and all her stuff because I was a kid with an Ipod and she liked to monitor what I was doing and downloading and stuff. Well now I am 18 and I am getting an Iphone. Im going to be paying for all the songs and what not. My question is, can I keep all of my old songs that her account bought under my new Apple Id. Can I put these old songs on the new phone with a different ID.

Purchased items are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them originally. They can not be transferred.
That said, most music is not DRM protected. You could, conceivably take that with you. Apps and movies, not so much.

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

Can i make a new apple id for my iphone if i forgot the old one

can i make a new apple id for my iphone if i forgot the old one

Not if you have FindMyiPhone enabled.
Aren't you usign the same AppleID/Password as you use to post here?
Or did you already create multiple AppleIDs? and you want to create yet another?
-> Find your AppleID

Making a new Apple ID is not a good idea, since you have to reset the password for that Apple ID anyway. All of your purchases are tied to the Apple ID that the iCloud account was created under. So, you have to retrieve the password for that Apple ID in order to sign into iCloud anyway.
Go to Manage your Apple ID, and click on the Reset Password option (Apple - My Apple ID). Sign on with the Apple ID that the iCloud account was created under, and answer the security questions. If you do not remember the answers to the Security Questions, contact Apple Support to have them reset:

If my iMessage is hooked up to my moms phones and I make a new Apple ID will my imessages still send to her phone?

Me and my mom have the same Apple ID. Recently she has started reading my iMessages from her phone since we have the same Apple ID. I've turned off my iMessage on my phone so she can't read my texts since they are just texts not iMessages. And I can't get her phone to uncheck my number off of her 'Send and Receive' options. My question is, if I create a new Apple ID and use that, will she still be able to read my texts. When I created my new Apple ID, it's giving me two send and receive options: my number and my email. If I check off my number, even though it is still checked off on my moms phone, can she see them? I don't want to have to send iMessages and have it send as "[email protected]" I want it to say my number "xxx-xxx-xxxx" If anyone knows how to help me that's be great. thanks.

But my whole issue is that I can't get on my moms phone to turn it off. I'm asking even if I make a new Apple ID and under send and receive click on these two options,
send and receive messages at:
-248-25x-xxxx(my number)
[email protected](new Apple ID I made)
will my messages still be sent to my moms phone even though I'm using a different Apple ID. because on hers, it has her number, my number and her Apple ID all turned on. If I'm not making sense I'll try and explain better. But currently her send and receive looks like this:
send and receive messages at:
-248-79x-xxxx(her number)
-248-25x-xxxx
[email protected]

Recently had to make a new apple id. need everything on one ID

all of my passwords and various emails got messed up somehow and i had to just make a new apple ID. now that i have so many emails associated with my apple id I'm not sure which i need to use. My contacts all went away on iMessage on the mac. i had to resync iTunes. and my iPhone doesn't seem to be with the same ID even though i keep trying to sign into it. i just want one apple ID with everything on it so this crap doesn't keep happening. help.

No, it's not currently possible to transfer an account's balance to a different account (nor can you use it to gift content to another account)

What do i do if i need to make a new apple account but have gift card money on the one im using now?

i have to make a new apple id because i cant remember the security questions to my old one and cant use the money i have on it. but i dont want that money to go to waste. is there any way to transfer that money to the new account i want to create?

You can't transfer a balance from one account to another account, nor use it to gift content to another account. Have you tried getting the questions on your existing account reset ?
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you 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 you don't already have a rescue email address) you 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 you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

My apple ID was disabled so i had to make a new apple ID, But the disabled apple ID had all my games on it. Is there any way we could enable my disabled account

My apple ID was disabled so i had to make a new apple ID, But the disabled apple ID had all my games on it. Is there any way we could enable my disabled account?????????????????????????

If not this:
Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.
Otherwise, contact iTunes:
Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us

I can no longer back-delete or hit return to make a new paragraph, nor can i use the arrows to go backwards and forwards in a line; it's like the fn key is stuck; i've taken it off and cleaned it, and it looked clean.

Then it's time for a new keyboard. If you are still under warranty, call AppleCare.

If I make a new apple id or I cloud account will I lose my pictures and contacts etc..

If this is becuase you cannot access your old account I would try everything first before making a new account.
expresslane.apple.com or http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/account/ or 1-800-APL-CARE.
If you delete the icloud account from your device it will remove the photostream and documents stored in the cloud from the device (if you're using iwork or another app that uses icloud to sync documents).
Photos from the camera roll will still be there.
It will ask if you want to keep the contacts, calendars, reminders, and bookmarks.
If you want to save your contacts choose "Keep on my iphone"
If you create a new apple ID you won't lose anything except your previous purchases, meaning if you wanted to redownload that app you paid for before, you will have to pay for it again with the new ID.
