Mom gave me her used iPad.  How to switch iTunes accounts with losing game data.

I have been using my mom's iPad for the last year to play a game on there.  Everything on the iPad is under her iTunes account and iCloud name.  She decided she did not want the iPad so I bought it off her.  How to I change everything on the iPad to make it my own without losing my saved game data.  If it helps I have been playing Sims Freeplay.  I really don't want to lose the level I am on with that game. 

I believe her data is connected to her Apple ID. Maybe you could buy her Apple ID from her, also ... :-) ... otherwise, I believe you're out of luck.

  • Using Windows, can you have an ipod touch and an ipad on the same itunes account with the same apple ID?

  • Hi. I was given an iPod with hundreds of songs.  Now I have created my own iTunes account on my computer.  Is there any way of adding my iTunes to my existing iPad (someone else's iTunes account) without losing all of the songs already on my iPod?

    Hi there.  I was given an iPod loaded with hundreds of songs.  I have created an iTunes account on my computer. Is it possible to add the songs from my own iTunes account onto my iPod, which was created by someone else using their iTunes account, without losing all the songs on my iPod.  Probably a stupid question, but I am one of the "older" generation .... Thanks

    The The person who gave yo the iPod did not have the right/licence to also give you the media on the iPod. If you use it yo are stealing.
    Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content end Settings and set the iPod up with your media.

  • Does anyone know how you can save your apps and games on your iPad when you switch iTunes accounts?

    We are a family of 5, each with our own Apple devices (at least 2 per member).  We have been using one iTunes account for the devices with the exception of my wife's iPhone.  All of the kids devices have been on my iTunes account.  We would now like to set each of the kids up with their own iTunes account but we are concerned that to do so will mean that we will have to repurchase all of the apps and games and that the progressive games like Dragonvale will be lost. Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    You can't. Just buy another one just for them. :)

  • Can two people switch iPads (from same base iTunes account) without losing data or settings.

    I am going to trade my nice new 32 GB iPad with Verizon LTE to my wife for her original 32 gb iPad that is just about years old.  She likes the trade but neither of us want to lose data or settings.  Will backup and restore work reliably?

    I am resonding to my own reply since I just tried to do the ol switch.   Moving from the original ipad to the new one was not a problem.  I backed everything up and I wiped the new ipad and restored it as my wifes.   I then wiped the old ipad and tried to restore it with my back up and no go.   The new ipad had iOS 6 and the old one is iOS5.1.1 so the back up would not restore on the old one.   My backup still sits on the iMac wiating for an ipad.  fortunately building the old ipad from scratch wasnt too bad since i really dont use it for much.  I'll just have to work harder to replace my high scores on bejeweled and plants vs. zombies...

  • How can I switch iTunes accounts without losing purchases?

    When I purchased my wife an iPhone, I made the mistake of setting her iPhone up on my iTunes account. It had never been a problem until now with iCloud and other such features that are connected with the iTunes account. Is it possible to switch her to her own iTunes account and still retain the music/apps/etc she has purchased for her device? Thanks.

    Agreed, I would like to able able to split my daughters account up from mine. I do not believe there is a way to do this however.

  • I have the same account as my family but I want to make and use my own iCloud, so I need to get my family's off my iPhone but I DO NOT want all of the data on my phone to be deleted off. How do I make and switch my account without losing my data?

    I also don't want to get rid of my family's data, either! Thanks!

    To migrate your data to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you wish to keep on your phone to your camera roll (unless they are already there).  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  Next, if you are syncing notes with iCloud you will need to open them one at a time and email them to yourself so that you can later use the emails to copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  (This only deletes the account from your phone, not from iCloud.  Other's still using the account will not be effected by this.)  Then sign back in with a new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge when prompted to upload your data to the new account.  When you turn Mail to On you will be prompted to choose your new @icloud.com email address (if you wish to use iCloud email).
    Once your device has successfully migrated to a separate account, you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into your new account and delete your other family member's data from your account.

  • HT202157 how to switch iTunes Accounts

    I've just bought an Apple TV with 5.2 firmware, and I was wondering if any of you could guide me into iTunes Switching accounts in my new toy: I want to manage the device from my phone and iPad, and from my husband's ones to.
    Thanks a lot

    Go into settings - iTunes store. Key in the accounts and then they will be available for you to switch. Not sure what you mean by 'manage the device from my phone and iPad..'

  • Can I use purchase credits from my iTunes account with ATV?

    I have some credit from an iTunes Gift card on my account. If I purchase movies and TV shows on ATV (which is logged into my account), will it charge my credit card with use the credits?
    Thanks!

    Michele, are you saying this from personal experience. It's been some time since I had any credits on my account (usually just after Christmas when everyone swaps there gift cards for cash with me) but when I did, content purchased on the tv will always debit my credit card, whereas purchases made from itunes on my mac will use up the credit balance before debiting my credit card.

  • Can I move an IPad to a new iTunes account without losing the apps?

    I currently have two devices on my itunes account, and would like to move one the devices to a new itunes account (not mine). Is it possible to do this without losing all of the apps that have been acquired on that device?

    You can only have one library per user account on a PC/Mac.
    So, if you need to create a new library, then create a new user, and transfer the content you want over to that new user. Then sync.
    Can you clarify a little more what you're needing?

  • I gave my wife a new Ipad 2 she gave me hers old one How do I change her name to mine and get access to my emails

    I gave my wife an ipad 2 she gave me her old ipad how do I change her detail to me and access my email account on her Ipad
    This will be I guess the first of many questions
    Thanks

    You really should download and read the user guide that roaminggnome gave you the link for in the post above.
    If you want to totally start from scratch and erase all of her content go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. This removes everything from the device and returns it to out of the box status. You can also restore the iPad as a new device in iTunes and that erases everything as well. This article explains that process.

    If you want to rename the iPad, connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Double click on the text of the iPad's name on the left grey source list of iTunes and you can change the name of the iPad. When you are finished typing in the new name, hit the return key on your keyboard. This article explains it for you.

    You will want to delete her mail accounts on the iPad if you have not done so already and set up your own mail accounts. This article will tell you how to do that.
