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.

If I Create a New iTunes Account, will I lose my Apps and Songs?

My wife has an Apple Id and I have another.
We share the same music library on our desktop but any purchases from iTunes in terms of Apps and Songs are only limited to the device/apple ID that we bought it with.
So here's my question: if I create a new Apple Id that will be used with her iPad, my iPhone and her iPhone will we:
- Be able to keep the Apps and songs we bought with the original Apple IDs?
- If so, will they be deleted once I sync it or will I lose saved games (I play Grand Theft Auto), etc?
- Will we both lose our contacts on our phones?
- If I so, can I retrieve the current contacts I have on the cloud and import into the new account?
In terms of the contacts, should I just work on a project to make sure that all my contacts are on my GMail and let my iPhone use that one as default and do the same for her so I don't have to worry about it?
Thanks!

I have three different accounts and at some time or another have bought apps with them all. If there is an update the Iphone automatically asks me to login with the appropriate credentials to update. They all live happily on Itunes and I can log in and out on Itunes as well with no ill effects.

HT1688 My mom has an Iphone 3GS and she just got a new iPhone 5. How can she transfer all of her pictures and contacts and all that since the 3GS doesn't have the cloud?

Needing help transferring photos and contacts from iphone 3gs to the 5 since the 3gs doesnt have the cloud!

Transferring information from your current iOS device to a new device

IPhone 4S fell on some water, was working but now won't work. I got a replacement coming. Can I use the old Sim card in the new phone if it wasn't damaged? Will I get my pictures and contacts and messages back if it wasn't damaged?

My iPhone 4S accidentally fell into a very shallow bit of water. The phone was wet, but worked afterwards for a short bit. Now it's not working, so I called and got a replacement phone coming. Same exact phone. Can I use the old Sim card in the new phone without harming anything? I don't know if the sim card got messed up or not, but I had a lot of pictures and messages and my contacts on my phone, and I assume these were on the sim card or am I wrong? I just wan to know if I can use the old sim card if it's still working in the new phone that is coming, as long as there was no damage to it? Thanks

I think I had it on the iCloud, I just changed computers and had part of my old computer backed up, where are the default iTunes info saved like the pictures and I know my contacts were backed up cuz I kept getting updated stuff that I wasn't sure about, but it was contacts where some belonged to my wife's contacts....but anyway, if the cloud backed up contacts, it should have grabbed pictures too? Like I asked before, if they were backed up to the computer, is there a default iTunes folder they are saved to? I had a crap load of pictures on there that I usually could really access if I was connected to wi-fi. I turned off my data stuff as I only have 4GB and between me and my 2 kids, we seemed to use up a lot of it. My son would play music from Pandora during work, and use up all our data til I limited him to only 3GB, my daughter and I barely used 1GB. Anyway, thanks to everybody that is answering. I thought I might have done good finding the dang sim card, but pointless I guess.
Ralph - F.Y.I. I would be happy to back up the iPhone if I could turn it on LOL......I am pretty positive I did, but what about Text messages? ANY of those saved too or not? Sorry guys, I don't know a **** of a lot about cell phones, but I do know about memory cards, but not sim cards that act like memory cards or look like them anyway. What is the purpose of a sim card if I may ask a stupid question since they don't hold any data from my phone stuff. I just hope my stuff comes back on the new replacement phone once I get it up and running. Again, thanks to everybody for the edumucation.

HT204053 My daughter has been using my Apple ID, if she gets her own Apple ID, will she lose her purchases and contacts

My family has been using my Apple ID for apps and itunes. They now would like their own Apple ID's.
Do they lose previously purchased music, apps and contacts?

To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.

How do I make your new Apple ID permanent on your iPod Touch 5g???

So every time I go into my Settings, press on "iTunes & App Store" it's fine and it shows that I'm signed into the new Apple ID that I want. Then I press on "iCloud" and "Game Center" but it has my old Apple ID. When I go into "iCloud" a thing pops up asking me to type in my password but it's asking me to type in my password for my old ID. Every time I press "cancel" it pops up 2 seconds later asking me to type in my password. When I type in my password it pops up every 2 seconds like three more times then tells me that my password must be wrong!!! I need help because my iPod can't function that well!!! I need to make it so my new Apple ID is permanetly in the iPod. I can't look at my storage, go into iCloud in the settings without is asking for my password, I can even update my apps!! So could somebody help me please??? By the way, it's not the password, it's the ID, I need to change the ID from my old one to the one that I want to permanately be in my iPod!!! Thanks!!

Hi bshea,
You need to do the following:
1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your existing Apple ID, then change the ID back to your old one (this is temporary - do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password): Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on Delete to delete the iCloud account. Type in your current password when asked. Follow the prompts to delete the iCloud account
3.     Go back into Manage your Apple ID, and change your ID back to the new one (you may need to verify it again)
4.     Go back into Settings>iCloud and sign on with the new ID
You should be all set,

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)

TS2446 So I have an iphone and for some reason I don't know the password for my Apple ID so I can't download apps and I don't have the password to my email to change it and I don't know the secret questions , what can I do to make a new Apple ID ?

So I have an iphone and for some reason I don't know the password for my Apple ID so I can't download apps and I don't have the password to my email to change it and I don't know the secret questions , what can I do to make a new Apple ID ?

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?

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

Hello i forgot my i cloud password..anyone can help me to find my password.i already make a new apple id..but my icloud use another account..so how to reset my iCloud account plz hel me

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:
ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS

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

If I make a new Apple ID will I loose all of my apps

If I make a new Apple ID will I loose all of my apps?

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.
