Transfer Apple ID for apps on iPad without losing game data

I have 2 ipads. My wife mom passed away so my wife took over iPad. The ipad has my apple id. Then the 2nd iPad belongs to my dad and he passed away year ago. I have took over with my apple id. the problem is there are handful of apps will not update because some of apps asking for my brother and pvz2 asking my nephew id. My son is playing multiple apps for example minion rush, dragon vale and plants vs zombie. I have purchased the apps on first iPad. But the major of the data is much bigger and advanced on the 2nd iPad. If i have already taken over both iPad with my id how come i cannot find setting to switch id. This isn't easy. Im new to mac so ipad is completely different than the mac, is there way to save the data. I cannot use iTunes because it only backs up data I own on the 2nd ipad. I am leary on 3rd party software for example i-explore.  need to take over my id so the app can update. There was some articles about how to turn off document and data. however the settings have changed since I have updated iOS on both to 8.3. ugh

Apps are always associated with the Apple ID that was used to download or purchase them. This cannot be changed.

  • How do I change one persons apple id for a shared account, without losing previous purchases for either?

    I have two children who have shared an Apple ID for the iPod Touches.  The older is now getting an iPhone and is old enough to manage his own ID.  My question is, if we set him up with a completely new Apple ID, will he be able to sync the phone with iTunes as a new device, even though iTunes currently syncs with his iPod?  I guess what I'm asking is, can two different Apple ID's/devices sync with the same iTunes without messing up either device or getting the wrong information sync'd?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    You don't. Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.

  • HT1212 I downloaded the latest software on mini ipad. It now asks me for password which I never had before and I have tried various passwords only for ipad to be disabled. Is there any way to restart my ipad without losing my data especially  my photos

    I have a mini ipad and recently downloaded the latest os.I now can't access without a password which I didn't use before.My ipad has been disabled as I don't know what password to use.Is there any way I can enable my ipad with a new password without losing my info and data especially photos?

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • How to reset iPad without losing game progress

    Hi! I would like to reset my IPad 2 back to factory settings, as if it is a new iPad, but I do not want to lose all my game progress. I have 2 games that I'm not sure what will happen to.
    I tried researching this myself online and it seems like as long as I backup to icloud before resetting, I won't lose game progress. Is this true?
    Thanks for the help!

    Game Center only saves games achievement. It never saves game progress. It is up to the developer as to whether they have built in the feature to save game progress.
    Not sure if this is true (I don't have that game) but after doing a quick google search, it appears you can save Sims Freeplay progress to the Cloud.  I also think you can connect it to Facebook.  Maybe someone else on the forum can verify this?

  • How can I upgrade to ios5 without losing games data

    I need to upgrade my iPad, but if I do I will lose my game's data, and will need start all from the begining again. The backup made by iTunes do not save this kind of data. What can I do??????????

    Actually the backup that is created by iTunes IS where the game save data is supposed to be stored. The backup contains app data, app settings and in-app purchases. From what I understand - Many games are saved in the cloud on the game's servers as well, so depending upon the game, the backup doesn't come into play anyway.
    But the only way that you can ensure that the data will be saved is to backup the iPad.

  • Computer crashed, want to restore apps to itunes without losing data

    My computer, which is a Dell Inspiron laptop running Vista, crashed and I had to replace the entire hard drive. I even had to reinstall Itunes. I have some of my music on my Ipod touch, some on the kid's ipod nano and some (mostly holiday music) not on either ipod. I have quite a lot of apps on my ipod touch, and I am unsure how I can get back to synchronizing again without losing my apps and especially without losing the data I have saved (on my ipod touch) for certain apps (grocery lists, etc.) Also, will I lose my calendar data and my contacts? Please please tell me it won't be so. I am not even sure what else I need to worry about losing. I've been going crazy with this whole hard drive thing this week. Thanks for any advice.

    If you search this forum for "ipod to computer," you will find posts which may help. You may also find some assistance in the iPod manual -

  • I can't download any app into my iPAD, but I have no problem downloading app into my iPhone. Using same Apple ID for both my iPAD and iPhone.

    HELP!
    I couldn't download any app into my iPAD. Puzzled by this strange condition, I tried downloading the same chosen app into my iPhone. It worked!
    I use the same Apple ID for both my iPAD and iPhone. So why is it not working for my iPad? Previously, both devices were working fine!
    I hope that somebody can help me solve this problem.

    Do the apps show as installed on the Purchased tab in the App Store app ? If they show as installed, then have you got any restrictions set on Settings > General > Restrictions (e.g. Allowed Content > Apps) that might be hiding them ?
    You could try closing the App Store app completely and then seeing if it downloads after you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e.not with the App Store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    You could also try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    And try logging out, and then back in, with your iTunes account : Settings > Store

  • Is it possible to transfer one single App from my iTunes onto my iPad, without losing the Apps that are already installed on my iPad?

    I originally had the app (FilmOn.TV) on my iPhone, so it is backed up in my iTunes on my PC. It's no longer available in the App Store and I would really like to have it on my iPad. When I read up on this, it seems to say that if I sync any apps from my iTunes onto my iPad, that any Apps currently on the iPad will be deleted.
    Can anyone tell me, please, is it possible to bring one single App across onto my iPad, without losing all of my existing ones.
    Thank you in advance.
    Brian.

    Do you think you could email me the Filmon .ipa file? I lost mine the other day, and it would be very handy.

  • Transfer photos from iPhone 4 to iPad without going through iTunes

    Can I transfer photos from my iPhone to iPad without needing to use iTunes to sync?

    You have a Mac, so essentially iPhoto (or Aperture, depending on what you have) stores and organizes photos. I find this very useful, because although 99.9% of my photos are from a real camera, I do occasionally take photos with my iPhone, possibly more now that I have an iPhone 4.
    iTunes, as annoying as it can be at times, let's you organize what photos are moved to the iPad and iPhone. It really is easy, even for a rank beginner.
    Apple also keeps a closed system for these products. Again, annoying at times, but mostly it works. You should read stories about the Android system where apps work or don't work depending on seemingly random movements of the planets. There might be something out there if you look hard, but you'll be frustrated with what happens.
    I'm very happy how I control photos with Aperture, iPhone, iPad and iTunes in combination. Switch out Aperture and iPhoto, and you'll be fine too.
    But, if there's a particular reason why you don't like the combination, drop a note here, and we'll try to help out.

  • Updated Scrabble on my iPad now it crashes when I open app, how do I fix without losing games I am playing now?

          Updated Scrabble on my iPad, now it crashes when I open. How do I fix, without losing games I am playing now?

    I have a similar issue.  I have the CS4 Design Premium with all updates on an iMac running 10.6.  All Adobe apps work except for Flash 10.0.2.566.  All apps worked perfectly under 10.5.  Within seconds of loading a file or clicking 'New' Flash terminates generating an Apple crash report (see exerpt below) - not an Adobe crash report.
    Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
    Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000004

    (BTW, sometimes a normal Quit is interpreted as a crash by the other CS4 apps.  Could this be related?)

    Greetings chaimba216,
    After reviewing your post, I located an article that can help with resetting your iCloud password:
    iCloud: Change your iCloud password
    Your iCloud password protects the privacy of the information (such as your email) stored in iCloud. Your password also protects your ability to locate or remotely erase your device using Find My iPhone. You should regularly change your iCloud password to protect your information. Your iCloud password is the password for the Apple IDyou use to sign in to iCloud.
    Important: If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud as you do with other Apple services such as the Apple Online Store, iTunes Store, App Store, or to purchase products in iPhoto or Aperture, changing your iCloud password also changes your password for these services. Make sure you sign in to those locations using your new password.
    Go to the My Apple ID website (appleid.apple.com) and follow the instructions to reset your Apple ID password.
    For more information, see the Apple Support article Apple ID: Changing your password.
    After changing your iCloud password, make sure you update it on all your devices and in any email apps you use to get your iCloud email.
    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > iCloud, then tap your iCloud account.
    On a Mac: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
    On a Windows computer: Open iCloud for Windows.
    In your email apps: Check the help provided for the email apps you’re using.
    If you set up iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, make sure to set up a passcode lock on your device for added security. (Go to Settings > Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode.)
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for.  What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.
