Is there anyway to change Apple ID without losing everything?

I recently changed Internet providers and my current I'd is with my old provider. Is there anyway to change the Apple ID without losing everything?

Absolutely.
If you go to Appleid.apple.com, then click on the Manage My Account button (big blue rectangle).
When you've signed in (using your current Apple ID), there will be a section showing your email address, click on EDIT next too it, enter in your new Apple ID, and then select Save Changes, and viola! Your Apple ID has been changed, without loss of any content.
Then on your device just go into Settings> Store> click on your account> Sign Out> Then Sign back in using your new email address in place of the old.
Note: Some apps when updating will still ask for your old account as the Apple ID, just enter in your password ignoring the email

  • TS3988 how to i change my icloud id to my new apple id without losing everything

    how do i change my icloud account name to my new apple id without losing my pics

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You will need to save your photo stream photos, before you change your iCloud account.
    Navigate to the photo stream album and into the photo sheet view (the one with all the thumbnails), click on the small rectangle with the arrow on it, in the top right corner of the screen and then tap each photo you wish to save. Once you have selected all the photos you want to save, tap the save button at the bottom of the screen and choose a new album to save them into.
    Once you have done all this, you can delete your current iCloud account and enter your new one.

  • Changing apple ID without losing content.

    I am having to change apple ID since I changed internet (email) provider. I have gone into set up a new Id: but when I look at Itunes account it is still listing underprior name; also if I go on ipod to download I get a prompt to enter password to the old account. I have not restarted computer since I entered new email adress as apple ID; I am afraid I am going to lose all of my content. Any suggestions?
    Kelly

    All your content is saved to you computer it's self so u shouldn't lose anything.  However, when in doubt back it up.  Do a back up of your content just to give yourself leave of mind that way you have it if it does get lost.  I changed my account without losing anything.  U should be fine

  • Need help changing Apple ID without losing info

    I have 3 Iphones linked to the same Apple ID.  2 are mine and 1 is my fathers who is not too saavy with Iphones which is why it's been linked to mine to help him.  He has since upgraded from the 3 to a 4s (like I said, he's behind the times) and was wanting to move his content from one phone to the other.  First off, the Apple 'Genius's' were anything but 'Genius' when it came to helping him.  So he ended up having to ship his phone 3k miles to me to help.  I was able to back up his phone and attempted to create a new Apple ID for his phone.  Then I realized it had changed my phones ID's to the same as the one I made for him.  I have since switched both of my personal phones back to the original ID's, but his phone still has the old/new ID I created for his phone but comes up as not 'verified' since I changed my 2 back to the original ID.  If you're still reading this and I haven't lost you yet then maybe you can help.  My question in a nutshell is how do I give him his own ID without losing the content he has on this phone?  He can't sync from ICloud because it will import all of my info onto his phone as well.  I would really like to get this resolved so I can send him back his phone asap and not worry about further issues if and when he needs to backup or sync his phone to his own account without my info transferring as well.

  • Change apple ID without deleting everything

    When I bought a new iMac for my wife at the apple store, it was set up using my apple ID.  I would like to change it to her apple ID without having to delete everything on it. 
    The reason why is that in everything that she does, ichat ect it has all my info on it, including my picture.  Is there anyway to do this, without moving everything onto an external hardrive and using a start up disk to start over?
    I have checked in the user account, icloud accounts ect and everything is under her apple ID, I guess the computer is just hard wired to mine.

    That is not really possible. In order to accomplish that you need to erase her computer, repartition it, then install OS X. After that it can be "registered" to her Apple ID. You must remove the computer from your list of registered products so she can add it to hers.

    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

  • Is there anyway to restore my ipod without erasing everything in my itunes?

    Is there anyway to restore my ipod and not erase everything in my itunes?

    "Everything in your iTunes" is on your computer (or should be). So a restore will delete the content of the iPod and then the next Sync will put back the contents of your iTunes Library onto your iPod.
    iTunes on your iPod is the iTunes Store.
    So a restore will not delete everything in your iTunes, is simply deletes the content on your iPod (which is not the same thing).
    If you have music on your iPod that is not in your iTunes Library, you will lose it unless you transfer it to your computer or back it up first.

  • I set up my daughter's devices under my apple Id. How do i get her her own apple id without losing everything on her devices?

    Initially it was an ipod but now she has an ipad and iphone and we are sharing the same apple id/icloud. I would like to keep my apple id and get her a new one without her sacrificing her purchases/music etc...What is the easiest way, if any to do that?

    You can create a new Apple ID for her and set it up on her devices for iCloud and iMessage. Then her contacts and things can be backed up to iCloud under her Apple ID, and her iMessages will also be separate from yours.
    You can, however, leave her iTunes, Music, and App Store with your Apple ID as before (you can use different Apple IDs for these different functions on iphones, ipads, Macs etc.). That way she keeps her music and purchases as before.

    My brother downloaded "Big Bang Theory", in french, without me knowing.  Is there anyway to change to english version?

    Okay, I found the answer myself. Going to about:config and setting browser.showQuitWarning to true, restored that option and brought it back. Thanks to anyone who is about to post. If this is false by default, it has got to change.

  • Is there anyway to change the amount of Wireless B...

    I think I know what the answer is but here goes:-
    Is there anyway to change the amount of Wireless Bandwidth given to a certain device from the HH3??
    The reason why I ask is, that I have a number of devices that connect to my wireless connection and for some reason my Apple TV only connects at 65Mbps thus making it virtually impossible to stream videos to it. (videos are choppy on it)
    When I look in the 'Home Network' section on the HH3, it shows that my Apple TV has connected at 65 Mbps - the device has a 'N' network adaptor built-in, so in theory it should connect at a faster speed.
    Is there anyway that I can increase the connection speed for this device - my laptop connects at 144 Mbps....

    Hi there,
    First off, what I would suggest is that you download either inssider 2 if you're on a PC or istumbler if you're using a Mac and check for other wireless networks around you that could be causing interference and change to a less congested channel, if need be.
    If the above doesn't help, then I'd suggest that you look into replacing your router with another one, which has QOS such as the Netgear WNDR3700 which has Dual band (2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11n) so that you can prioritise bandwidth for your different pieces of kit.
    I Hope this info helps.
