Go to http://appleid.apple.com.
To clarify, the mere act of changing the Apple ID on the device will not remove any content. But you cannot update the apps or re-sync them if they get deleted without the old Apple ID. It may be best to download them again with the new ID.

Purchases are forever tied to the AppleID they were bought with. There is currently no way to consolidate AppleIDs. Sorry.

I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?
My iPod has music and apps from my apple ID that I downloaded to my iPod via iCloud and some apps that I got free from the store, straight onto my iPod, but my laptop has some music on it aswell, separate from my other library. I want to put the music from my laptop into my iTunes library which I want to use on both computers. Is it possible to do this?
Thanks.

- You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
- If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

Can you rebuild SSA without losing any settings?

Due to a long story (below) I'm at the point where I probably have to rebuilt my Search Service Application. However, I don't want to lose all the search settings.
I found this
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/5ce9297e-90e6-4439-a584-04182b12dd43 which says it will allow me to export Content Sources, Query Rules, Crawl Rules, and File Extension Settings. That does not seem to be all the settings I want though,
I have a lot of Managed Properties. I have not found anything else yet that lets me export search settings.
My questions are:
1. is there a way to save all the settings, then create a new SSA, then re-apply the settings, so I don't lose Query Rules, Managed Properties, etc? Is there another (Free) tool out there that will let me export all settings? Or are managed properties in
some completely different location than those 4 search databases.
2. is there way to not lose the "training" that search has done to remember what people have searched on and how they use search? (such as when it shows the user things they did recently, or the auto-fill in search boxes that fills in with likely
searches they might want)
==============
The problems we are having:
Due to trying to migrate to new servers, use of stsadm -o renameserver, (which worked perfectly in our Test environment but did not work so perfectly in production) I cannot get my search service working or update my topology (several topology items are
in warning or error state. (Before I started all servers were in "No action required" state on "manage servers on this farm" page in CA)
QueryProcessing and Analytics Components stuck in Degraded, non-active, "resolving" state
Indexing components stuck in "replicating" state, even though there are no items in the index.
I have tried everything I could find online (such as mentioned here
https://www.kieferconsulting.com/blog/Pages/SP2013-Fixing-Search-After-The-Index-Drive-Fills.aspx ) including restarting the services, trying to reset index, stopping timer and search host services and then manually deleting index files (then running
$ssa.Reset($true,$true) ). I have tried to set a new topology that does not contain the broken ones, but I can't I keep getting that I have to finish an upgrade on another server (and I can't set the topology on that server either). I can't even pause via
$ssa.Pause() it just times out. $ssa.Reset() times out. And the logs just say it's waiting for an update, that is the only issue.
I tried psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b but that would die saying it was still waiting for an upgrade.
So then I ran this:
stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname command-line-upgrade-running -propertyvalue No
psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force

I have a library on my Ipod Classic and a different one on iTunes. How can I sync both without losing any files?

I think I may have deleted the original library a while back. Since then, I have been collecting new files. Now that I sat down to sync, I am unable to load new files at all. Is there maybe a way to upload library on ipod into itunes library and then reload all back onto ipod?
I don't want to lose any of it! Help!

You'll want to extract all the content that is currently on the iPod and copy it back over into your new iTunes library. Once you have successfully done that, you can go ahead and restore your iPod to factory settings and then sync away as restoring the iPod will allow it to sync with the new iTunes library.

Hi Gang! Ive just bought a computer and I want to sync all my music from my Iphone to the itunes I've just intalled on it. Can this be done without losing all the songs? no way am I paying for them all again! Thank you

Hi Gang! Is there any way of getting my songs from my Iphone to my new computer just by syncing rather then having to pay for them all again?? thank you

Hey baby birch
You are able to sync purchased content from your iDevice to a new computer as long as the comptuer is authorized
To authorize the computer follow these steps
At the topi of the screen next to File- Edit -View, click store then Authorize this computer.
Enter in your appleID email address and password and click authorize
**If you do not see the File Edit View option, At the very top left corner you should see a little square click the square and click show menu bar.
Now that your computer is authorized click the file menu button, then click Devices, then go to your iPhones name and then click Transfer purchases this will allow you to transfer all of your purchased content to the computer
Now if you want to transfer your non purchased content to the computer you can do so if you have wif and the previous computer on the same network as the new computer with home sharing

Can't update or purchase apps because old user name (MobileMe) comes up automatically and can't change to new user I'd

I can't update or purchase apps after changing my iTunes user I'd . Old (MobileMe) user id comes up automatically and doesn't allow change. How do I take care of this? I've even deleted MobileMe from iPad

Hmmm...
That should work. Go here to determine if there is perhaps a third Apple ID involved! If not, perhaps your memory isn't what is used to be. Change the password.
There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site. If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.
