New Apple ID for Verizon iPhone?

Getting my new Verizon iPhone tomorrow, and trying to decide whether to create an additional Apple ID. I already have an iPad and my wife has an AT&T iPhone, both of which are set up and logged in with our original ID. The new phone will be my work phone, so I'm leaning toward setting up a new ID for it only. Question is, do I lose access to all my previously purchased songs, apps, etc being transferred to my new phone from my iTunes library? A little help would be great. Thanks in advance.

There is no benefit with doing this.
All 3rd party apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to download the apps with. Getting a new Apple ID or iTunes account will be more trouble than it is worth - whatever you think the worth with a new iTunes account will be. Constantly having to log in and out with each iTunes account with iTunes on your computer, etc.

I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air I can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. It keeps going back to my old apple id and doesn't afford me to alter it. I use system preferences-icloud and it just wants to verify the old apple id but doesn't afford me the opportunity to delete teh account or edit it like the iphone5 and ipad. Help?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You need to use the sign out option on the left side.

Not if you have FindMyiPhone enabled.
Aren't you usign the same AppleID/Password as you use to post here?
Or did you already create multiple AppleIDs? and you want to create yet another?

HT204053 i share apple ID and downloaded the new apple itunes software, now both phones share contacts and receive the same text messages...how do i fix this? How can i establish a new apple ID for a iphone and still use my computer to sync the iphone, wh

i share an apple ID for itunes with 2 separate iphones, i update IOS to 6.1 2 months ago, my contacts megered on phones and now i get the same text messages on both phones. How do i fix this?

To use iCloud your iPhones and your Macs should all be signed into the same account, what are you trying to achieve.?

HT5622 Do we need to make a new Apple ID for every iPhone we have?

I seem to be getting family members conversations and also when I send a message it gets sent back to me in text message as well as go to who I sent to. Was just curious as to if we all made our own Apple ID if this would be corrected?

RECEIVING MESSAGES INTENDED FOR OTHER DEVICES
This occurs if you are sharing the same Apple ID for imessages.
If you are receiving imessages intended for other devices you can fix this by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
1. Uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both devices if they are iPhones; or
2. On one of the devices go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign in with a different Apple ID. Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for the iTunes & App store for purchasing if you wish; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud and other services.
To prevent merging of your calendars and contacts when syncing calendars and contacts if you are using the same Apple ID for the iCloud account, be sure to set up separate iCloud accounts on each phone with separated IDs. Remember that if you change your ID in iTunes & App store, that apps and other purchased content is forever linked to the ID that was used to download the apps and the apps can only be updated with the ID that was originally used to download them. To download content purchased previously downloaded with a particular ID then that ID needs to be used to download past purchases. If you want all apps to be connected with the same ID you need to delete those apps downloaded with the old ID and download them again with your current and if the apps in question were paid apps then you need to pay again.

I had to get a new apple ID for my Iphone and delte the old account,but now i can not update the apps I had installed from my old Iphone and could I transfer the music albums I bought to this new apple account as well ?

could you please get back to me as soon as possible , there is an update I have been anticipating for a about two months now and it is coming very soon.

This is a user to user forum; there is no one from Apple here to get back to you. Apps and music are forever associated with the Apple ID account they were purchased with. There is no way to transfer them to a different account. That is why Apple lets you change the email address associated with your account without having to get a new account. If you didn't do this, but instead got a completely new account, you are out of luck. You can still go back to the old account and just get a new email address for it.

I created a new apple ID for my iPhone, but when i go to activate iCloud (for the first time) it says i need to sign up with my old ID. How do I use my new one?

So I used to share an apple ID with my mom who also has an iphone, but i decided to make my own so that i could set up icloud with my mac. I created my own ID and activated it and all of that, but when i go to activate my iCloud, it tells me to check the email adress of the old ID. How do i activate it with my new ID?

Providing your Apple ID is not a .me or a .Mac address, you can change it with Apple and continue to use your account.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
Once who have done this you can then correct it on your mobile device.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
If however, your Apple ID was a .me or a .Mac address, then you will need to create a new account, follow the instructions above for deleting your account on your mobile device and then tap the "create Apple ID" button to create a new account.

I have an old Nano and I am attempting to transfer the music to my new iPhone. I have a new Apple ID for the iPhone (and the same one is used on my IPAD). My problem is that the Nano usesthis old Apple ID and my password does not work.

I cannot get access through the online security as when it requests my birth date, it informs that it is wrong (I got it right). ANd, when i attempt to do it via email, I don;t get the email in either of the only 2 accounts that I ahve ever had.
Any ideas?

Time to contact Apple support directly and have them assist you with resetting the password.

My wife and my iphones are both on the same apple id. If I create a new apple id for her, can we still share our music?

My wife and my iphones are both on the same apple id. If I create a new apple id for her, can we still share our music?

Yes. If you are using two different instances of iTunes on your computers, make sure the music is on both copies of iTunes.
The person with the new Apple ID will not "own" the music, as it is owned by the one with the former ID. But the way to deal with this is for the new ID person to do Store > Authorize This Computer from iTunes' menu, then have the person with the ID that purchased the music enter his/her Apple ID and password.

I created a new Apple ID for iCloud on my iPhone, but I can't seem to find a way to "sign out" or "log out" of that Apple ID (for iCloud) to sign in with another Apple ID. The only account login I could change was the Store. How do I "log out"

How do I "log out" or "sign out" of iCloud on my iPhone? There is an option to delete the account, but I just want to log off. I want to keep the account name for future use.

It looks like the article below has the information you are looking for.
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Turn off iCloud completely
Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
Note: If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help).
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud. For more information, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Calendar & reminder data removed from Calendar and Reminders or iCal when disabling iCloud Calendar.
On your Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then click Sign Out.
Note: If you turned on automatic download of music, app, or book purchases (in iTunes preferences or in Settings on your iOS device), your iTunes purchases are still downloaded to your devices.

MY wife has an Iphone 4 and I have a 5. To date we have used one apple account to manage music purchases/library. I updated ny phone to the new OS version and all her texting is showing up on my phone. I understand if i create an apple account for her I will not see her texts. Recently we bought a Mac and created a new apple account for her. How do I synched her phone with new apple account and get access to the music library under my account on the new MAC laptop before I update her phone to the new OS?
Going forward if I purchase music under my apple id and want her to have it on her device, how can I acheive that?

You can continue to share an Apple ID for purchases.
Sign her in to her new account here:
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (Keep on Phone if you want to transfer contacts, calendars, etc...) then sign in with her new ID
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
Settings > FaceTime > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
Use the same Apple ID here:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID

HI
I was trying to take my Mac air to factory default settings.
I've done all that it says in the documment i was following, and them during the process it asked me the APPLE ID.
I put the apple id i have in my iphone. But it's not the one... it's said that i don't have any OSX associated with it... so it can not install the OSX.
So what can i do?

Why can't I download apps I have to pay for on to my new iPad Mini. I have had an Apple id for my iPhone for years and have downloaded app to it, no problems. When I try to download apps to my new iPad Mini, it tells me my billing info has to be confirmed. After confirming with same info that is already there it tells me to contact support, no help up to this point.

Could the credit card be expired?
Beyond that, what you need to do is contact iTunes support, they can tell you exactly what is wrong, none of us here can do that.
In the lower right corner of this page is a 'contact us' link. Click on that and you'll see a page full of info and links, one of which is iTunes support.

2 apple ids for 2 iphones?

My husband and I recently upgraded to an iphone 4s. We have one apple ID. My concern is that if one of use buys an app, it will appear on both phones. How can I get a second apple ID for my husband and have it associated only with his phone? Our 2 separate data plans were merged under one account with Verizon (a ShareEverything account).

Go to itunes on his phone, sign out and create a new apple id for his and sign back in.
