Is it possible to create a new account to use with an existing iPhone?

My iTunes account was hacked and I want to create a new account. I have an iPhone 3G, and I want to start using my new iTunes account with it. Is it possible do this without losing all of the stuff on my iPhone and having to re-purchase all of the apps that I've bought?
Thanks for any help.

You can create a brand new iTunes account and sync to it. However, all of your apps will have to be manually deleted on the old account and newly downloaded to the new account.
You don't have to do this, until there is an upgrade notification. I don't know what to tell you about those apps that you paid for. I think you might be out of luck with that. But, as another writer said, check with Apple. They may be able to help.
Good luck.

HT3965 I have an ipod with itunes loaded on it. I bought a new iphone 5C and want to set it up. It wants me to create a new account. Should I create a new account or use the existing ipod account?

If you want you're apps and content on you're iPhone then use you're existing account. If not then create a new account.

How do I create a new account in iTunes with a new email address?

I need to switch my daughter's email address and link this to an iTunes account. However, I am worried that all songs that were previously downloaded will not be able to play because of DRM. Does anyone know how to take an iTunes library created under a previous account (under an old email address and password) and assign it to a new account with a new email address? I am trying to do this without burning a whole bunch of CDs and importing the songs into the new iTunes account.
Thanks!

if you select the tracks you want and then click on get info in the pop up window where you put cover art in and tick Grouping insert art

Could not create an new account for use

Last night I logged in with my AppleID to make a post. As it was the first time, I had to create an account/profile in order to do so. But that was not possible using 10.6.6 and the latest Safafi. What happened was this :
Name:
AppleID: Log out of this AppleID.
Desired alias: ihojme Required. 2-30 characters.
< and > are not allowed.
Error: invalid AppleID. Please login with a different AppleID.
Which is n't surprising as my AppleID apparently is empty.
Tried the same this morning om XP/Firefox and everything worked.
I at least was surprised that the XP/Firefox worked, but not the 10.6.6/Safari did not.
Best regards

Hello Again Ib,
Try this process exactly as written.
The posted link below is for illustration. Do not use it to perform the procedure.
If needed print these instructions to use as a guide.
Delete the browser's Apple Cookies, and clear the browser Cache.
On the Discussions Sign In Page, do not enter any info in the text fields.
Instead, under "Did you forget your password?", click on "Click here for assistance".
On the page that opens, click on "Forget your Apple ID?".
Enter the required info, click Continue and complete the process.
And as Bee posted if that doesn't correct the problem, Log-In to Your Info and determine if your Apple Account ID, contains any accent characters, such as an umlaut: ö, a grave: ò, or an acute: ó.
If so replace the accented character and use an equivalent letter.
For example if there is a é present replace it with an e.
You can also select the appropriate document {Recover Apple ID name or password}, which is linked to in this KB Article Apple ID Support.

HT2534 Created an Apple id but it is asking for credit card info, and i dont want to give that, neither do i want to create a new account.

Dont trust apple for my credit card info on my iphone5s. So is there any work around? dont want to change the appleID.
Cant get the option of None in payment options. Even tried it by selecting my region as US.
Tried to sign in from Icloud as well but it doesnt work.
Please help..

Unless you followed, exactly, the instructions on the HT2534 page that you posted from then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used in the store - you should be able to remove your card's details after entering it
Changing payment info : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
If you don't want to enter you card's details then you will need to create a new account, and use those instructions when creating it

Is it possible to create a new iCloud account and permanently transfer existing store purchases to it?

Is it possible to create a new iCloud account and permanently transfer existing store purchases to it?

Thank you for taking the time to try to answer my question. Let me phrase it slightly differently...
I have a very old appleid that I've used for store purchases. I had a MobileMe account that was upgraded to iCloud. I'd like to merge the account data. I've been hoping Apple would come up with a solution to this, but they haven't yet.
So, I'm wondering if I should make a new account of some sort and try to transfer data to it from both of the old accounts. It sounds like that can't work.
I suppose then that the only thing to do is manually transfer all the information from the old MobileMe account to the primary appleid (which is some sort of iCloud + Store combination, no?). That might not be that hard to do, but it is somewhat high risk.

HT4897 I created an alias precisely because I wanted to make it the new default name and then quickly realized it wasn't possible. How long after deleting the alias will it become available again so that I can create a new account with it?

I'm trying to make iCloud mail my primary email but I'm concerned that I may have lost the perfect email address forever.

I have the same problem. After our wedding I've created an alias ([email protected]) to my actual AppleID Account ([email protected]). Now I'd the idea to delete the alias and my actual AppleID to create a new AppleID with ([email protected]).
Is there really no possibilty to do this?
Thanks in advance for quick and positive feedback.

I know my Apple Id (not .mac) and password but I can't logon to ichat. I keep getting a message of password not matched. Do I need to create a new account for Ichat?

I know my Apple Id (it isn't ".mac") and password but I can't log on to ichat. I keep getting a message of password not matched. I saw somewhere that my Apple id is the same as my ichat account. Do I need to create a new account for Ichat? I've already reset my Apple id password 3 times in the last 2 days. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
At one time only Email IDs from Apple (when it was just @Mac.com) were referred to as "Apple IDs"
Other IDs such as to log in to Discussions were know as Discussion IDs
Things like the Online Store and iTunes and Apple realising that people would prefer one ID to have access to Everything tended to move things together.
There can be a variety of combos now
iChat Name
@mac.com before MobileMe
@mac.com post MobileMe
AIM Names
AIM names current
MobileMe (@Me.com)
Style
Email Address valid with the .Mac service prior MobileMe Note 1
Email style Name Valid with AIM
May or may not be an Email address
Can be AIM issued or third party Email address
Valid Email with MobileMe Service
Other Abilities
May also be Currently valid email linked to a MobileMe account
Maybe Valid Apple ID
Is a Valid AIM Screen Name
May Not be a Valid Apple ID (was an option choice at one stage)
Is a Valid AIM Screen Name
May not look like an Email (No @whatever.com) but may be linked to either an AOL email account or AIM one
Current Registration seems to be pushing Email registration (@AIM.com)or asking to use another you currently use.
Trial Accounts are limited to the Trial Period Only as Emails, Valid AIM Screen Names and Apple IDs.
Apple ID
Possibly (likely)
Possibly (depends when Registered)
More currently Yes.
No

Glad I could help.

My mum set up an iCloud account and forgot the password, and this caused me to create a new account. The new account works for the App Store and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account without the password. Help?

My mum set up an iCloud account for my iPhone 4 but forgot the password. This caused me to create a new account, and it can be used for the App Store and iTunes and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account (the one my mum made). My device keeps prompting me for the password every few minutes after updating to iOS 8, and I've tried every option possible to retrieve the password, but I don't even know the answers to the security questions and I can't find the password reset email anywhere and I don't know the back up emails my mum used. I literally cannot find any legitimate way to sign out of the initial iCloud account without entering a password (which neither I nor my parents know). Is there a way for me to retreive the password or change to my new account without the password?

Can I create a new account and keep all of my purchases and downloads?

Can I create a new account and keep all of my old content? Recently got divorced and share the itunes account with my ex. I want a new account but do not want to lose all of my old content. Is this possible?

Kmiller,
Get a copy of the entire iTunes library and copy it to the computer that you will be using from now on.
iTunes Plus songs will still be playable, as will any "normal" MP3s that were purchased from Amazon or ripped from CD.
Any "protected" content from the iTunes Store, such as movies, shows, or pre-2009 songs, will not be playable. If you need to replace any such items with playable copies, a cost will be incurred. Make sure to account for this in the property settlement.

Is it possible to create a new tab in 'Default settings for items' option?

Hi everybody
I am Raghu working in EBP2.0 & I have come across a difficlty and that is of creating a new tab and also the fields 'GL a/c', 'cost centre' or 'internal order' in this new tab.
First of all please let me know whether is it possible to create a new tab for these fields.
The purpose of this new tab is to default the cost centre and GL account with reference to shopping cart.
As per current scenario, user has to enter the cost centre & the GL code as many times as the number of items in a shopping cart. I mean, if you have 10 items in your shopping cart then 10 times user has to input the cost centre & GL account. To avoid this we are required to add new tab so that per shopping cart we can enter the GL account & cost centre only once.
Your immediate response would be very much apprecited.
Regards
Raghu

hi Ram & Sreenivas
Thanks for your immediate response.
Ram, we can default GL a/c & cost centre in org structure since client wants to us to keep the option of entering these for every shopping cart.
Sreenivas, I checked the 'copy to clipboard' option & its not there in EBP2 and I feel what you meant as cost centre tab is account assignment tab.
Let me explain you more clearly about this requirement.
Current Scenario
1.Say a user has added 5 items to his SC.
2.User has to enter cost centre & GL code 5 times & then he can order
Required scenrio
1.Say a user has added 5 items to his SC.
2.As per the proposed functionality, user will click on 'Default settings for items' button. Three tabs will appear-->Basic data, Internal note & Delivery Address.
We have to provide a new tab here where in user will default his GL & cost centre for this shopping cart & then order. This will help user to avoid entering GL & cost centre 5 times.
For some reasons our client is not interested in defaulting this data.
Please help in this regard if time permits.
Thanks
Raghu

Did you check the format for your input, like yy/mm/dd or yy/dd/mm, mm/dd/yy etc.

I have a sync account, but on my PC I no longer have to option to sync - only to create a new account, but my laptop will sync

I have a sync account, but when I came to sync data on my PC today, I was only given the option to create a new account. I tried this, but it said my email address was already in use. I can sync on my laptop which is linked to my PC.

Sounds that you have already created a Sync account.
Enter all details like the account name (email address) and password and the 26-character Sync key manually to connect to an existing sync account instead of using the 12-character code to pair a device if pairing isn't possible.
# open "Tools > Options > Sync" or "Firefox > Set Up Sync"
# click "Set Up Firefox Sync" to go to "Firefox Sync Setup"
# click "I Have an Account" : Connect
# click "I don't have the device with me" at the bottom to enter the account settings (email, password, sync key)
Reset Lost or Forgotten Password or delete sync account:

How Can I change my email address or create a new account??

I need to change my email address of the account or create a new account but when I try to create new one is
asking me for the password supposing like I have already one...

At this time, you cannot change the email address for an account. When you sign up for a new account it will ask you to provide a password on the very first page and then confirm it before you continue.
