If I make an apple Id,will I lose my songs and apps?

You can create another Apple ID for yourself. The songs and Apps you bought will remain on your device. Whenever there will be an update to an App bought with your mum's Apple ID though, you will be prompted to enter her Apple ID and its password.
Same thing with the songs. If you delete them at anytime, a re-download will require her Apple ID and its password.
Apart from that, don't worry about creating a new Apple ID, you can have several different Apple IDs... just don't mess them up.

  • HT5796 If I change my Apple ID will I lose my music and apps?

    I'm planning on changing my Apple ID but I'm worried I'll lose my music and apps and anything else I did while using my previous Apple ID. That's why I wanted to know if I'll lose the apps and music I had downloaded and paid for. 

    You won't, but they won't be transferred to the new Apple ID afterwards; the applications will need to be updated from the old one, and you may need to be signed into the iTunes Store with it to make in-app purchases from them.

  • When switching my iphone to a new apple ID will i lose my songs, apps, and imessages?

    i currently share an itunes account with several people and devices. i would like to make my own apple ID. When switching my iphone to the new apple ID will i lose my songs, apps, and/or imessage conversations?

    You need a valid/working email address in order to create an account.
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
    Note that if yo chaghe acounts in Settings>iTunes and App Store media will NOT be deleted from the ipod but:
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • HT1311 To create a new apple ID, if I sign out of the current Apple ID account, and then sign in with a newly created account, will I lose any songs or apps on my phone or computer that were downloaded from the old apple ID?

    To create a new apple ID, if I sign out of the current Apple ID account, and then sign in with a newly created account, will I lose any songs or apps on my Iphone and Macbook Pro computer that were downloaded from the old apple ID?

    No, you will not loose anything.  However, if you ever need to update any of that previously purchased content, or re-download it, you will have to use the older AppleID.  Purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID you use when making the purchase.

  • Will i lose my songs and pictures if i upgrade my iphone to the 5.0 version if this isn't the original computer i used when i first got itunes?

    Will I lose my songs and pictures if i upgrade my iphone to the 5.0 version if the computer i am going to do it on is not the original computer i had itunes on, my old computer died!

    You can back up your Iphone in Itunes on any computer. Then restore after the upgrade if it was erased. iTunes has an option to even pick which backup file you want to use. I believe its pressing the alt key holding it and pressing restore. I did it on a windows pc so might be different. for a big update, apple iOS's are generally good with keeping files, but its always a good idea to back up your device. I just upgraded my MBP to Lion and didnt loose anything.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • HT1918 will i lose my music and apps when i change itunes account

    can i change itunes account info and keep all my downloaded music?

    Why would you make a new itunes account?
    All of your purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchasd.  You will need to authorize your computers for that account.

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

    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 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.

    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?

  • My sister and I both have ipods and ipads and we still use my mom's apple ID. How do I make my own apple ID and transfer over all off my songs and apps?

    My sister and I have been using my mom's apple ID for 6 years now. All of our songs and apps are on my mom's account. Now that we are older and have our own ipads (and soon iphones) we would like to make seperate accounts. Is there a way to transfer all of our songs and apps and such to a new account? Or do I have to start from scratch?...

    You have to start from scratch. You cannot transfer purchases fro one Apple ID to another ID. Purchases are always tied to the ID that was used to make the purchases.
    That doesn't mean that you can't still use the purchases - because you can. However, of you want to update any apps that are tied to your mom's account, you will always have to use her ID and password in order to update them.
    If you want to create your own Apple ID, you need to sign out of your mom's ID in Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap the ID and sign out. Then you can create the new ID. Read more here.

  • 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.
