Moving an iPhone to a new apple id

We have been using two iPhones, one iPad, and one iMac on one Apple ID before iOS5, but now after upgrading to iOS5 and iCloud, the phones think they are siamese twins, and I need to separate them. How do I do that? We have another windows macine if one of the phones needs to be removed from the iMac. Funny, I see many complaints about this on the web, but after lengthy searches, no Apple Support forums nor help pages seem to be addressing this issue.

There is the migration assistant; read this: http://www.macworld.com/article/131832/2008/01/macbook_air_migration.html
If you don't have access to the old Mac, there is this $20 program to transfer everything from your phone to your new Mac:  http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/

  • Moving my Iphone to a new MacBook Pro from an old MacBook Pro

    My husband just bought me a new MacBook Pro. I currently sync my Iphone to an older model MacBook Pro. How do I go about moving my Iphone to the new computer? I was going to take my 2 computers (the new one and the old one) into Apple so they could do the data migration. Is that something that they do when they move over Itunes along with my other things, or is it something I could do ahead of time?
    Thanks-

    You can use migration assistant to move everything over yourself.

    Also, make sure that all devices are on the same Wi-Fi network (e.g. not on a "guest" connection), and verify the ATV settings to see that AirPlay (and HomeSharing while you're at it) are turned on.

  • 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

    More details of how:
    http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
    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.

  • HT4865 i changed my apple id and password but how can i update my iphone with the new apple id and password?

    i changed my apple id and password but how can i update my iphone with the new apple id and password?i changed my apple id and password but how can i update my iphone with the new apple id and password?

    You have to delete the old account, provide the password for the ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).

  • My family shares an account.  How do I switch my iphone to my new Apple ID without loosing all of my contacts and contents from the phone?

    I just purchased an ipad and created a new Apple ID.  My phone currently shares an apple ID that the whole family uses.  What is the best/easiest way to switch my iphone 4S to my new ID without loosing everything in my phone?  I want to streamline my own stuff...

    I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish.  Are you trying to change your Apple ID for all services (iCloud, iMessage, store purchases, etc.)?  You can safely use a different Apple ID for all these things without jeopardizing your contacts/photos etc.  If you want to change your iCloud account you would need to turn off syncing for contacts and calendars and when prompted, choose to keep your data on your phone (rather than delete it).  Then you can go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then you can set up a new iCloud account with a new Apple ID and turn on syncing for contacts, calendars, etc. again.  To change your iMessage Apple ID, go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in with your alternate ID.
    Where you will run into problems, however, is if you sync to a new iTunes library.  If you have already synced to one library and try to sync to a new one, iTunes will erase all iTunes content and replace it with the content in the new iTunes library.  Let me know if that's what you are trying to do.

  • How do I change my iPhone to a new Apple ID so it is consistent with my MacBook?

    I bought a new MacBook and i want my iPhone to be in sync with it but my iPhone is with a different Apple ID. The old Apple ID has too many devices already connected with it and I don't want to change that. I just want to set up my iPhone so it will sync smoothly with my MacBook for everything.

    Just remember you cannot merge Apple ID, stuff you bought using that Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID. You cannot transfer purchases over.
    That been said, you can sign out and sign in with the new Apple ID in iPhone's Settings > Store > Apple ID.

  • How can I sync my Iphone with a new apple ID and keep the old content?

    Just got a new computer and had to create a new apple ID. I want to sync my iphone but keep all my contacts, apps, music, etc. from my old apple ID.  How would I go about that?

    If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
    Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.

  • HT4623 ? about how to get iphone to accept new apple id

    I have recently changed my email address and have updated my appleid.  When I try to update an app on my iphone or ipod it shows my old appleid.  It will not take my old pw.  How can I get the iphone and ipod to accept my new apple id?

    Just remember, any and all apps and other iTunes content that was purchased with the old Apple ID will be locked to that Apple ID and to update them, you will have to sign in with the old ID; or you will have to delete the old apps and download them again with the new Apple ID.

  • Want my old contacts on new iPhone with a new apple account

    got a divorce, want to save my music apps contacts etc......have a new apple id. reset phone, now what? need to change iphone, ipad, and macbook pro

    For music and apps purchased at itunes, you'll need to use the old itunes ID.  Purchased items are forever associated with the ID used to purchase them.
    For contacts and other Apple data:  where have you been syncing?  Via itunes or icloud.

  • I have an old ipod with all my songs and want them on a new iphone with a new apple id

    hi i have an old ipod which is on an old apple id but i want to get all my songs back off it so i can put them on my iphone help

    All of the content should be in iTunes on the computer.
    Simply connect the device to iTunes.
    Select what you want to sync, then sync.
    Do not create new Apple ID's for new devices.  Content is permanently tied to the Apple ID it was acquired with.

  • Moving my iphone to a new(ish) computer without losing anything?

    I've got an old MAcBookPro and a newish MacMini. My Macbook sadly is on its last legs, and I want to move a few things over to the Mini before I bring it to Apple to see if they can resurrect it...
    Specifically, I want to move my iPhone 4 over from the MacBook to the Mini, preferably without losing any of the stuff that's already on the phone, OR losing the stuff that's already on the Mini. All of my music is on the mini, and both computers use the same iTunes account.
    So, can I used Migration Assistant with target disk mode to move just my iPhone files over from laptop to desktop, without wiping out the iTunes folder that's already on the desktop?
    Sorry if this is mildly garbled, I just woke up.

  • How do i get iphone to accept new apple id?

    So, I made a new email address which I would like all of my apple emails to go to. So i went online to change my apple id to the new address and I verified the email and everything. But when I go to use my iphone and have to type in my password, it still uses the old email address and won't let me click on it to change it. I have searched all over and can't figure out how to change the apple id on the phone. Help!

    Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.

  • HT204053 Sync iPhone Cloud w/ New Apple ID

    I just updated my Apple ID with a new email address and a new password. Everything on my iPhone is updated, but the iCloud back up will not update. I'm unable to update my Apple ID under the iCloud settings (just the password) and therefore I'm stuck in a vicious cycle!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Is this an entirely new ID or did you just change your mail addrtess in the same ID.
