If you buy an app with one account, while already having it purchased from a different ID, will you loose existing data?

My iAssociate 2 app was originally bought with a different ID.  I can't buy in-app purchases because I have a different apple ID. If I buy the app from my account, without deleting the app, will I it redownload itself and cause me to loose my data? I'd really like to buy new levels, but I can't because it was originally bought with my mom's account. I'd like to get it for my own, but I don't want to loose my progress.
Help?

Trial and error.
I wish I had a better answer for you, but that pretty much encapsulates it. There is some, but not much, good wisdom out there, but it takes a significant amount of experience to be able to recognize it. The software development community if currently afflicted with a case of copy-and-paste-itis. And the prognosis is poor.
The solution is to be brutal to yourself and others. Focus on what you need and ignore everything else. Remember that other people have their own needs and methods and they might not be applicable to you. Apple, for example, can hire thousands of programmers, set them to coding for six months, pick the best results, and have the end-users spend their own time and monety to test it. If you don't have Apple's resources and power, think twice about adopting Apple's approach. And I am talking from a macro to a micro perspective. Apple's sample and boilerplate code is just junk. Don't assume you can't do better. You can.
Unfortunately, all this takes time and practice. You can read popular books, but never assume that anyone knows more than you do. Maybe they do and maybe they don't. It takes time to figure that out. Just do your best, ignore the naysayers, and doubt other people even more than you doubt yourself.

  • Can you gifting an app with your account balance

    Can you gifting an app with your account balance

    I think this is idiotic. I know MANY ppl who have to constantly change their passwords because their accounts have been compromised once and these ppl only use gift cards to put credit on their accounts. Why is it that ppl who dont have a credit card or want that information kept on file are being kept from gifting. If someone chooses to pay by CC then no prob but if Im not able because I dont have a CC or want Apple to store my CC information then Im screwed?? Isnt it illegal for a company to store CC information anyway?

  • How do I add a one year Creative Cloud Photography subscription purchased from a different vendor to my account?

    I purchased a one year photography subscription from B&H.  How do I add it to my current account so it will take effect at the end of my current year?  Thanks.

    For anyone else with this question, when you go to creative cloud.com/redeem, when you enter the code for the 12 month prepaid membership purchased from another vendor such as B&H, it automatically extends your current expiration date by 12 months.

  • IPad 1, with apps purchased from 2 different Apple IDs.

    Hi, here's the thing. I bought an iPad1 as a gift for a cousin. I also purchased some apps and music with my Apple ID. Now the new user has it's own ID and got some more apps and music. He never plugged the iPad into iTunes though... What happens to the apps and music when iTunes syncs and detects purchases from 2 different IDs???

    Unless your account is authpriesed on his computer all the content that you bought will be deleted from the iPad.

  • HT1918 Hi,   I need to change the country for my Apple store account but this message appears "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores." but my credit is 1.58$ only and I couldn't buy any app with this amo

    Hi,
    I need to change the country for my Apple store account but this message appears "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores." but my credit is 1.58$ only and I couldn't buy any app with this amount! Any way how to fix that and I don't have a problem if I lose this 1.58 $?

    If you can't spend it then you can try contacting iTunes support and ask if they can remove the balance from your account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT203433 I downloaded apps with one appleid on my iphone.  When my account was disabled I set up a new appleid & account.  Now I cannot update apps on my iphone that were downloaded with original appleid when I login with my new apple id.  What do I need

    I downloaded apps with one appleid on my iphone.  When my account was disabled I set up a new appleid & account.  Now I cannot update apps on my iphone that were downloaded with original appleid when I login with my new apple id.  What do I need to do?

    You can write into support and ask for help reenabling the account through this link here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    Since the applications were purchased on the older account, you will need to log into that account to update them. The newer account will not recognize the purchases because they are not a part of the purchase history for the specific account.

    And is there any way to sync all my purchases and accounts to just have one... It is a bit stupid that you dont even get a list of something of what account you may of used, or some kind of hint, so you could log on to the right account. I am really stuck ...
    Please Advise......

    You can't merge accounts. But you can check your purchase history:

  • If I purchased apps with one Itunes account (hotmail) can I convert the apps to an Itunes (ME) account?

    I purchased apps with one Itunes account (hotmail).  I then changed my account sign-in to a different email sign-in (ME) because of iCloud.  Can I easily convert the apps to an Itunes (ME) account when an update for each app occurrs?

    Did you change your existing iTunes account or did you create a new account ? If you updated the existing account then you should be ok.  But if you created a new account, then as apps are tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded them and they can't be copied or transferred to a different account, only that original account will be able to download any future updates to them or re-download them on a different device.

  • Looking for a browser or app with one click data entry

    One thing I miss on the iPad is the ability to quickly enter information in web sites like my name, e-mail, etc. For example, Firefox for windows has an add-on called "InFormEnter" which places a check box next to each data entry block. Clicking on it allows entry of the information with one additional click. I know that some iPad password managers will remember this info, but most seem to require entering a password each time you use it.
    Mercury browser for the iPad remembers data for visited sites but seems to require manual input for every new site.
    Is there an app or browser for iPad that will work without entering a password or requiring manual input for every new site?

    The subscription version of LastPass has formfill capability and syncs information from your LastPass account that works on multiple platforms/OSs.

  • How can I associate 2 appleids with one account or use a different Appleid for imessage as described in another post?

    How can I associate 2 appleids with one account or use a different Appleid for imessage as described in another post?
    I have rejoined the iPhone community, not with one iPhone but with two. My wife agreed to move from the unenlightened!
    I have set up both under my apple account and want to keep it that way. But I do not want iMessages going to both phones. I would like separate message queues but share all apps and other purches from the store.
    I have created a separate AppleID for her but under Settings>Message>Receive At (it currently says 2 addresses) > ... will not allow me to change the current eMail address and when I add hers (her appleid) it errors out. The only thing I can do in the Apple ID field is to manage my account and not change it to hers.
    How can I have 2 iPhones (and my iPad) on the same account but have separate identies?
    Thanks,
    LpGrumpy

    1. Yes. Restart with the Option key held down as needed.
    2. No, it won't be a problem.

    Can you have multiple users for one account? if so how do you set it up.
    We are using it for our department and it would be great to see who created what form instead of it being all one name.

    Each person should have their own account. You can easily share the forms with other people in your department. You will be able to see who the author of the form is.
