If I make a new iTunes account will I lose my app music etc from my old account

If I make a new iTunes account will I lose my app music etc from my old account

1. No.
2. Not as long as you're still syncing it with the same iTunes library. If you meant iTunes libraries and not iTunes Store accounts to begin with, you need to use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes.

  • 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

  • I have an Icloud account with my parents but want to make a new one. Will I lose everything that is currently on my phone? i.e. phone numbers, pictures, music

    In case you're not clear - iPad/iPhone storage, and iCloud storage, are totally separate. Buying more iCloud storage does not give you more storage space on your device. Your device has a fixed storage space for apps and data (e.g., 16GB - which is more like 12GB in real terms). iCloud storage just allows you to store more documents, mail, photos, etc, in the cloud.

  • I downloaded version 11 for the itunes library and updated my ipod to ios6, today when I click to open itunes, it wont open and says I need to reinstall itunes. Will I lose my whole music library?

    I downloaded version 11 on itunes and updated my ipod to os6, when I try to open itunes now, it says it downloaded incorrectly and won't open. It says to reinstall itunes. Will I lose my whole music library if I reinstall itunes?

    you will not loose your content at all. It is still sitting in your hard drive even if you uninstall itunes.
    Once itunes will be reinstalled , it will re-sync your stuff on your hard drive

  • HT201413 updated last night and now ipod says to coonect to itunes which i cant because apple application support was not found.  tells me to uninstall and reinstall itunes.  Will i lose all my music or is it still on my ipod?

    Updated ipod last night and now when turned on tells me to coonect to itunes (picture of usb cable with arrow to itunes).  I can't connect to itunes on computer because apple application support can't be found.  Tells me to uninstall then reinstall itunes.  Will I lose all my music or is it still on my ipod?

    Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters.)

  • If i deauthorize all accounts will i lose all my music that was purchased or downloaded from Cd's?

    If i deauthrize  all accounts will i lose all my music that i purchased and my music that i downloaded from CD's

    No. But you will need to authorize the account(s) for which you used to purchase said music

  • I am not able to access Firefox under one user account on my computer so I created another account. How can I transfer the bookmarks from the old account?

    I use windows Vista and I cannot open Firefox under one user account (I keep receiving the "firefox profile cannot be loaded . . ." error message) on my computer so I created another account. How can I transfer the bookmarks from the old account?

    NOTE: you can skip this 1st step.
    Step 1
    I'm on Win7 so the paths might be slightly different... C:\Users\(YOUR PC ACCOUNT)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\bnelgkol.default\bookmarkbackups ... Find the "bookmarks-[DATE].json" you want and copy it to the profile you want. You may want to change the date to a name you will recognize.
    Step 2
    Then on your browser "Bookmarks>Show All Bookmarks or Ctrl+Shift+B ". This will bring up the Bookmark Organizer, I think they call it Library now. From there click "Import & Back up>Restore" this will bring up a drop down with your back ups. If you followed step 1, find the json you added and select it. If you skipped step 1, from "Import & Back up>Restore" select "Choose File..." Then browser for the json you want to import. Which should be in a similar location as mentioned in step 1.
    NOTE: "AppData" is a hidden folder, will have to set show hidden folders to be able to see it.

    I have a new computer. How to I connect to my iTunes account to download all the apps music etc

    You will need to do it using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC. Also, see:

  • My sons wish to set up their own accounts - Will they lose the apps they purchased under my account?

    My sons wish to set up their own accounts - Will they lose access to the apps they purchased under my account?  Is there anyway to transfer the apps to their accounts?

    You can't. Apps and content are tied permanently to the iTunes Store account through which they were purchased. Her MBA will need to be authorized to your iTunes Store account and she'll need that account information to be able to update the apps and re-download content, or they'll need to be repurchased through her iTunes Store account.
    Regards.

  • 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.

  • HT1689 I've downloaded music on my iPad on one iTunes account if I change account will I lose all my music

    I've recently bought a new iPhone 4s and made my very own iTunes account . I was given an iPad an I've been using someone's elses iTunes account . If I change iPad iTunes account to mine--- will I lose the music on my iPad

    Anything Obtained with an Apple ID is Tied to that Apple ID...
    From Here   http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
