Need new apple ID, no longer want to share. What data will I lose?

My friend has been sharing an apple ID with her husband, but it has created some problems. They both have iPads and iPhones. Now she wants to create a new apple ID so that things are separate. I have backed up her iPad and don't know how to proceed. I want her to still be able to have access to the photos, contacts, notes, etc that she took when the iPad had the old ID. Will she lose all of that if she creates a new ID? Can't she still keep apps bought with the old ID and just never update them? I've seen that done. She has a Bible app that she takes notes in at church. How would she retrieve those notes? I always hear about things being backed up to the cloud, but when you go to iCloud.com there are no icons for those apps or for photos. How does one access the data saved on apps?
The big question is: do I need to restore her iPad and iPhone to factory settings? Or can I just go into settings and change something? I saw a forum about people having problems with that. She has created a separate account on her macbook, so she has a brand new iTunes. Do I need to change anything in iTunes? I'm afraid that once I connect the devices to a different iTunes, everything will be erased. I appreciate your help. I know I have a lot of questions. Thanks.

Set up your own iCloud account with your own separate ID.  The ID you use for iCloud does not need to be the same as the ID used for other services such as the iTunes and App stores.  You can still share an ID for iTunes purchases and have a separate ID for iCloud.

  • What data will I lose when I sync to new computer?

    I got a new laptop. Old one died, couldn't save anything off of it. I installed iTunes on the new laptop, turned off auto sync, plugged in my iPod touch 4th gen and did a backup. If I recall correctly, everything on my ipod came from iTunes Store. Before I sync it i just want to be ABSOLUTELY certain, that I won't lose any of my data in my calandar and other apps. I've got lots of important stuff I don't want to lose. Can anyone tell me what I'll lose, if anything?
    After I sync I assuming ill "lose" everything, but them i do a restore from backup and it'll all show up again. Is that right? If not, please tell me the steps I need to take to make sure I don't lose my data. Thanks in advance for your help.

    - It depends. If you follow these instructions you can make that computer the syncing computer and not lose anything.

  • I made a new Apple ID and I want to delete my iCloud account on my iPhone, will it delete only documents or data or it will reset my whole iPhone?

    I made a new Apple ID and I want to delete my iCloud account on my iPhone, will it delete only documents or data or it will reset my whole iPhone, like deleting my apps, contacts. Please I need your help.

    All you have to do is this: Sync your 3GS to create a current backup. Then either: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings or restore it as a "New" device in iTunes. Both accomplish the same thing, erasing all of your data & settings from the phone. You can now give it to your sister, she can plug it into her computer, name it what she wants & sync her content to it. You then restore your 4S from the backup of the 3GS you created when you started. Follow this by syncing your content to your new phone & your 4S will look just like your 3GS.

  • How do i change my icloud name i already made a new apple id and i want to switch it to my new apple id? I'm afriad if i delete my account i will loose all my pictures..

    how do i change my icloud email? I already made a new apple id and i want to switch it to my new apple id? I'm afriad if i delete my account i have now I will loose all my pictures and I want to keep them

    To change the iCloud ID on your devices, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.  Deleting the account only deletes the account and any synced data from your device, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.  However if you are changing to a new account, be sure to choose Keep on My iPhone (iPad) when prompted, then choose Merge to upload your data to the new account when you turn on iCloud syncing again.
    Prior to deleting the account, if you have an photo stream photos that you want to keep, save them to your camera roll by tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • We have multiple users, each with multiple devices, on 1 apple id - as we want to share music and ibooks etc.  We want the children to have access to the store, but with a financial limit. How do we do this?

    That's simply not possible I'm afraid. You'd need to give them their own account and allowance or make it so you are required to be there to input the password when they wish to make a purchase.

  • I have creat new apple id when i sign in 1st time this will say this apple id has not yet been used in itunes store? please help

    i have creat new apple id when i sign in 1st time this will say this apple id has not yet been used in itunes store? please help

    I changed my dads password, then went back to sync my apps and when it came to the Authorization, I entered his account name and the new password (which was by the way accepted and changed correctly) to have it come up on the screen as the incorrect password...REALLY!!! I went back and changed the password again...guess what? Same result "inncorect password".
    As I mentioned my dad PASSED AWAY, there is no way I can ask him what his password originally was, i can't accesses his email account as it no longer exists.
    What am I supposed to do, this is very frustrating.
    If I use my new account that's in my name, the Authorization screen just keeps asking for my Dads account.

  • I have an apple tv and i want my iphone and ipad will be sync to it?

    i have an apple tv and i want my iphone and ipad will be sync to it?

    Neither iPads nor iPhones sync to Apple TVs. They can however, stream to them. Is that what you mean? If so, yes, you can use both your iPhone and iPad with your ATV, though not at the same time.

  • IPhoto is currently a shared file with another user on my Mac and I am the Admin and no longer want to share it. How do i undo this completely?

    Iphoto is currently a shared file on my Mac and I no longer want to share it. How do I completely remove access to it if i am the Admin to the computer? Thanks in advance...

    I found the answer on the Quicken Support site. Unbelievable!!!!
    Article ID: GEN82981      Updated: 8/11/2011 |
    Unable to Share a Data File Between Multiple Users on the Same System
    Cause The Quicken Essentials data is a data package that contains multiple files.  Each item in the package has permission set based on the current users profile.  When the Package is moved to a shared folder, the permission in the data package are not changed, therefore cannot be accessed by another user.
    You can change the permissions for each individual file within the data package to be accessed by other users.  However, the first user who opens the file after the permissions have been changed, will take ownership of the data package, and it will no longer be accessible by the other party again.
    SolutionThis issue is currently a product limitation and is expected to be resolved in a future version of Quicken Essentials for Mac.

  • HT201694 My dad & I both have iPhone 5s. He no longer uses his & my screen is cracked. If I switch our SIM cards, what data will be lost? It is important for me to save/transfer all photos, video, & *especially* text messages.

    My dad & I both have iPhone 5s. He no longer uses his & my screen is cracked. If I switch our SIM cards, what data will be lost? It is important for me to save/transfer all photos, video, & *especially* all text messages. When the SIM cards are swapped between phones, will any of these things be lost/deleted?

    Thank you! I would prefer not to wipe his phone. My cracked screen iPhone still works, so I would ideally like to put his SIM card in my phone for occasional use. As mentioned, he is not using his iPhone anymore for phone calls, but would like to maintain access to photos, video, and all texts. As I use an iPhone for calls, trading the cracked screen is ideal. If I am able to switch them without losing data, I will, but am afraid to do so if there is a chance that any data will be erased. (I'm not sure if the photos, video, and -namely- texts are saved to the actual SIM card. Can text messages be backed up?
    iPhone do not store anything on the sim.
    Photos should be saved on computer like any other digital camera.
    You can restore the backup for your dad as well as for yourself while swapping phones.

  • After upgrading to os maverick iPhoto wants to upgrade it says..Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. What exactly will I lose?

    after upgrading to os maverick iPhoto wants to upgrade it says..Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. What exactly will I lose, what will not be readable?

    In the current version of iPhoto, nothing.
    In previous versions of iPhoto, the ability to access any part of it.
    Back it up before doing this.

  • My iTunes is accessed with an old email address. I have just created a new apple ID and now want to change my iTunes account to reference this- how do I do it?

    Arghh!! I am literally about to throw my new iPad out of a window - apple is driving me beyond crazy. I have an old iTunes account to which all my music is saved. I have just created a new apple id and want that to be the one that my iTunes account references - it won't let me change my old email to this as it says my new apple I'd is sychd to another account. How do I do it? Am desperate!

    Delete them and then download them from the desired Apple ID. This may require repurchasing paid applications.

  • HT4914 ITunes Authorizations- need new Apple ID for Kids

    If my children bought songs under my Apple ID, and their individual libraries have grown, is there any way to get one of the a new Apple ID and let them have their purchased songs?  We are running out of authorizations.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If they have there own Apple ID, they will not be able to transfer purchases already made on your account to theirs and would still need to authorise any protected content from your account before they could play it.

  • How do I update my icloud account with my new apple id without losing all my backed up data?

    I recently changed my apple id and password and I would like to know how to update my icloud account to reflect the new id.  I realize I can delete the old one and set up a new one, but the message that comes up tells me that all my backed up data will be deleted, would this delete the data and photos that are currently on my iPad?  Also, would I have to change my icloud email address?

    First, there are apple IDs and their associated passwords.  You get the ID when creating a new icloud account.  You can also create an ID when setting up an iTunes store account.  You can have an icloud account and an iTunes account each using the same ID or different IDs.
    So the question is, the ID that you changed...  what process did you use to change it and to which account was that ID associated with?
    But.. to address your problem (you have one "old" ID for icloud that you have been using and now want to use a new ID - hence a new account), you must move your data from one account to another...
    When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. 
    When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. 
    After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
    Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc.  Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there.  These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
    NOTE:  Photos in the photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the new account.  It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch.
