Transfer iPhone 4 to a different Apple ID
My daughter's iPhone 4 is currently registered to my own Apple ID; I've also installed a separate instance of iTunes under her Windows login on our shared PC, so she can have her own iTunes library. However, everything I download on my Apple devices is available on her iPhone, which is not ideal!
Q1 - if i create a new Apple ID for my daughter, can she register the iPhone to this new ID without losing all her apps, contacts, etc.?
Q2 - how can I update my daughter's iTunes instance to use this new ID and resync the original library contents?
Thanks for your help.
Just do the following to the iPhone 4:

Then give it to your daughter & she can use her login & set it up anyway she wants.

someone please tell me how to fix this. I cant access any apps or anything because my old apple id keeps showing up on my phone and wont show the new one.
You created a new AppleID?
Why not simply update your old AppleID so you have only one iTunes account? -
setup a new apple ID for my IPAD, but I want to transfer music, pictures form a different apple ID
Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

How can I transfer some of my Itunes songs from my computer to my husband's iphone? He has a different apple ID and every time I do this, my IMac says it will erase and sync. I've checked the manual manage box but no luck.

It says that his computer is authorized, but as soon as I try to transfer anything, I get a message saying that my iphone is already synced with another iTunes library
What does the iPhone have to do with anything?
Don't plug yoru iPhone into his computer.
Do I need my iPhone to do it or can I do it from iMac to iMac? Thanks for any help.
So you have two different computers?
Just enable Home Sharing and he can copy the songs from you iTunes to his then he can sync his iPhone to his iTunes.

my iphone (business) and ipad (personal) have different apple id's.
Can I get the contacts from my phone onto my ipad?When you try to update the app, is the Apple ID that comes up the same as the Apple ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store?
Have you tried any troubleshooting steps? e.g. log in on another device, reset password etc. -
2 iphones/1 ipad - 2 different Apple IDs Trying to Merge(Unwanted)
Hi,
I have an iphone 3GS, my mum also has a 3GS but also has an ipad.
We have completely different Apple IDs but for some reason they are trying to merge. Examples of this are in imessage settings my details appear on my mums iphone and ipad? She recently downloaded ITV player to her ipad and its just shown up on my iphone? Also i tried to download an app on her ipad yesterday for her and when trying to put in her correct Apple ID password it said it was incorrect. I was then given a choice of answering security questions or sending an email reminder to get the password reset. The security questions asked to her were mine and when sending an email to have the password reset it went to my secondary email address!!!!
How can i make sure that these three devices no longer try to merge. I want my iphone to work seperatly on my ID and my mums iphone and ipad to work seperatly on hers. I have already completely reset my iphone and this did nothing to resolve the problem, all devices are running the latest IOS.
Any help would be fantastic as i am getting really frustrated with this.
Regards
ColinHi Razmee209,
Thanks for the reply.
I have already been through this (should have mentioned it in my post). For some reason i can remove my details on my phone but my mums details are greyed out so cannot get those deleted although they are unchecked. The same goes for my mums iphone and ipad, my details are there unchecked but are greyed out so cannot be deleted.
I cannot for the life of me figure out how this happened or how to fix it.
Thanks again

Can i get old itunes on new iphone if they have different apple ids?
i have had itunes on the computer that is connected to 2 different ipods for several years. i recently got a new iphone 4s and cannot figure out how to get the itunes library from my computer onto the new phone. is that possible to do if they have 2 different apple ids?
Yes but if you bought the music on both different id's then they are tied to those id's only.

Can't sign out on iPad or iPhone (to use a different Apple ID)
I recently changed my Apple ID (did not create a new Apple ID account). On my MacBook Air I was able to sign out of iCloud to then start using the new ID. However, I cannot seem to do the same with my iPad or iPhone. Thus, I am constantly being asked for the password for my old ID. What's the procedure for changing the ID stored on the IOS devices?
Hi
Go into the Settings on the device and then tap on App store & iTunes. There should be an option to change the Apple ID on your device in that tab.

Can you transfer game center to a different apple id?
Hi,
does anyone know whether it's possible to change the apple id associated with game center on an ipad - when I go into the account settings, I can change the email associated with it, the name, nickname, etc. but not the apple id... Does anyone know whether it's possible?
Thanks, MYou will have to wait 90 days. See:

I am having problems downloading my music library from my PC to my iphone. I have different apple id's for i-tunes and iphone5s. I did connect iphone to PC via USB and was able to sync and download, but do not know where it downloaded to. I looked under my music on iphone and nothing there.
You have Sync Music selected under the Music tab or selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your PC?

I would like to use one Apple ID to sync all of my contacts and calendars, but I need to place the Find My iPhone functionality in a different Apple ID account. Is this possible? Ideally Find My iPhone would be the ONLY feature used by that account, not app sharing, store purchases or anything else.
To better describe what I am needing:
1. - iPhone 1
2. - iPhone 2
A. - Apple ID #1
B. - Apple ID #2
On 1. I need A for purchases and iCloud and B for Find My iPhone.
On 2. I need A for purchases and B for iCloud and Find My iPhone.
In addition, will iCloud store text messages? -
I had an iPhone from Verizon, and i got another iPhone from us cellular. I'm giving my old iPhone to my friend, and somehow we can both see each other's messages sent to other iPhones. Both have different apple ids and numbers. How do I fix this?
You probably activated the new phone will the old phone was still active. That would have linked the two numbers to iMessage. Go into iMessage and turn them off on each phone. Then turn iMessage on for your phone. When it activates, go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and see what numbers/email addresses are linked there. It should just be the current phone number and if desired, your Apple ID email address.
Then have the other person turn their iMessage back on and when it activates see if it now only brings their current phone number and again if desired Apple ID email address. -
Can I share contacts between different Apple ID accounts on Icloud?
I would like my wife to have access on her iPhone to the contacts on my iPhone. We have different Apple ID's. Can I share my contacts with her through iCloud?
Thanks for taking the time to respond. I specifically do not want to have her use my ID because any changes she makes would affect my contact list. Somewhere along the line, i thought someone said that contacts can be shared between iCloud accounts. Perhaps I did not hear it right. I think what I will do is transfer my contact list to our desktop computer (which is set up with the same ID as my wife's iPhone).
Thanks, again, for your time. -
HT4865 Apps under different apple I'd"s beside my own
Some of The apps on my iPhone were downloaded using different apple id"s which are not my own and I want to transfer those apps onto my apple I'd.. How do I do so?
Unfortunately it is not possible. You cannot transfer purchases from one account to another. In this case you have two options: 1. Switch between the two accounts for downloading and updates (uncomfortable) or 2. Delete the apps and buy them with the apple ID you want to use.
