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.

    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.

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

    Greetings elalewis, 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If you would like to change the email address that you use as your Apple ID, you can do so without losing purchased content. Note that email addresses ending with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com are already Apple IDs, and cannot be changed.  
    See this article for the complete steps to change the email address used as your Apple ID:

  • 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]

    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?

  • 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.

  • I have an iPad, four years old and still going strong.  I want to upgrade to a newer iOS 8 iPad.  If I do this, will I lose all my purchases on the old iPad?  If not, how do I transfer my purchases?

    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.

  • If I make a new Apple ID, will I lose my downloads and purchases from my old ID?

    I got my first iPod (a nano) about 6 years ago and I was only 11 back then so my mom created an Apple ID for me. I've been purchasing music and apps from that account. I just recently got an iPhone and since my mom does not remember her account info (like her email - as we've discovered trying to use iCloud), I want to make a new ID. Please help.

    You can't transfer an account's balance nor its purchases to another account - purchased will remain tied to the account that bought/downloaded them.
    For his security questions, if he has a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on his account then he can go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into his account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side he should see an option to send security question reset info to hie rescue email address.
    If he doesn't have a rescue email address (he won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then he won't get the reset option - he will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
    e.g. he 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 he doesn't already have a rescue email address) he 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, if it's available in your country, he could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • If I deauthorize my iPad and authorize it with a new Apple ID, will I lose the previously purchased apps?

    I want to deauthorize an iPad and authorize it with a new Apple ID but I dont want to lose the apps that were purchased under the first Apple ID. Will this happen?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You won't lose the programmes, but you won't be able to update them as it will ask you for your old Apple ID to update

  • 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.

    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.

  • How can i set up a new apple id but still keep all my details from my old id

    Discussions on using purchases from multiple AppleIDs in one iTunes library - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19543804
    As I mentioned earlier, the main time when this becomes an issue is if you need to do something involving associating a computer with a particular AppleID.  Careful management of your collection should minimize this situation.
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 -  In connection with, "When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID." "Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days." - Additionally instructions for "Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID"
    So the first account is really "yours" and you are setting her up with her own account?  It helps to know this because if both are "hers" then there isn't an issue with her having full access to both accounts.  If in 10 years she moves 2000 miles away and she is pretty much independent then you may not want her to have full access to your AppleID just so she can authorize a device.
