Technically the Music, apps are not hers but yours as your Apple ID was used to get them. And as a consequnce they are tied to your Apple ID.
If she creates her own Apple ID she will need to get her own music, apps, etc...

I have an iPhone under my parents account. Now that I have my own, I would like to change the Apple id on the phone to my own (new) account. If I do so, will I lose all of my apps, music, contacts, etc?

Hi, one of my daughters friends tried to access her ipod causing it to become disabled; i do not want her to lose all her photos, she accesses my itunes account which is on ICLOUD, will she lose all her data - can this be fixed? I do not think it has been synced with a computer before.

Disabled
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.
Otherwise y will have to restore and thus erase the iPod
You can restore from backup
If not in backup then:
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe from the restored iPod via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

HT1311 To create a new apple ID, if I sign out of the current Apple ID account, and then sign in with a newly created account, will I lose any songs or apps on my phone or computer that were downloaded from the old apple ID?

To create a new apple ID, if I sign out of the current Apple ID account, and then sign in with a newly created account, will I lose any songs or apps on my Iphone and Macbook Pro computer that were downloaded from the old apple ID?

No, you will not loose anything. However, if you ever need to update any of that previously purchased content, or re-download it, you will have to use the older AppleID. Purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID you use when making the purchase.

I have iTunes installed on a laptop that I use for work, but it's owned by my employer. A new policy my have them deleting iTunes from the machine. If that happens, will I lose all my music? I am an iCloud user and pay for iTunes match.

If they just delete iTunes, the music files should still be there. I suggest making a backup of them though. Locate your iTunes folder (The one that contains your library file) and just copy the whole thing to your Documents folder or wherever you like (Just not in the same directory of the original folder otherwise the computer will get confused and could confuse your iTunes library). Then you will have a backup of all your music, plus if you purchased it from iTunes, you will still have it linked to your Apple ID so you can re-download them to any computer with iTunes on it when you feel like it.

If i deauthorize all accounts will i lose all my music that was purchased or downloaded from Cd's?

If i deauthrize all accounts will i lose all my music that i purchased and my music that i downloaded from CD's

No. But you will need to authorize the account(s) for which you used to purchase said music

Will I lose all my purchased apps if I create a new Apple id. Thanks Colin.

You will not lose the apps but you will not be able to update them without using the old ID. If you got a new email address, you can simply change your Apple ID. There is no need to create a new one.

HT201413 updated last night and now ipod says to coonect to itunes which i cant because apple application support was not found. tells me to uninstall and reinstall itunes. Will i lose all my music or is it still on my ipod?

Updated ipod last night and now when turned on tells me to coonect to itunes (picture of usb cable with arrow to itunes). I can't connect to itunes on computer because apple application support can't be found. Tells me to uninstall then reinstall itunes. Will I lose all my music or is it still on my ipod?

Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters.)

If i download a newer version of itunes will i lose all the music from my old version?

New iTunes update won't open. First it said Apple Mobil Device failed to start. So I Stopped then Started Apple Mobil Device. Now iTunes still won't load. Tells me MSVCR80.dll was not found. Wants me to reinstall app. Will I lose all my music?

Current iTunes update won't load. Tells me MSVCR80.dll was not found. Wants me to reboot. If I reboot, will I lose my music?

Hi DDay@55,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To resolve this error, I recommend completely removing and reinstalling iTunes and all of its related components using these steps:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
You can find the article with these steps and more information here:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open

This process should not affect any music or content on your computer, but you may want to

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

When starting iTunes get the following message " Apple Application Support is required" uninstall and re-install iTunes. Question will I lose all records currently in iTunes ?? H=

Get a message on Itunes to uninstall and re-install Itunes since " Apple Application Support is required" Will this cause me to lose all records? Is there some to avoid this have tried to repair No LUCK

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

I just got a new Mac but I don't know how to transfer all the music, apps, videos, etc from my iPod and old computer to my new Mac.

I just got a new macbook air and I am trying to figure out how to get all of the music, videos, pictures, apps, etc. that I have on my ipod touch and on my old computer onto my mac. I don't want to lose anything. I just want to figure out how to sync my ipod to my new mac without losing any data.

copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
you can use an external HD or your network for this operation. everything will be as you were used to from the old machine.

HT4137 I was told to restore my iPad but not from a back up. If I do this, will I lose all of the apps, songs, pictures etc that I have saved in my iTunes?

I have just backed up my ipad. I want to make sure that iTunes will not reset, if I chose to set the iPad up as a new iPad. I do want to eventually put everything back onto my ipad.

Pictures are not saved in iTunes. All photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process should remain on your computer.
Photos/videos captured by the iPad or saved on the iPad from a received email, from an iMessage, from a website, or imported from a digital camera or from an iPhone with the Camera Connection Kit can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera - especially before restoring the iPad.
All iTunes content on your iPad - music, movies, tv shows, tones, audio and print books, and 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library on your computer.
