What happens to old Apple ID in itunes when new ID is added

OK the background. Current set up is my email is used for Apple ID in iTunes. I also use it for iCloud. Wife and kids use my Apple ID for iTunes and have separate Apple IDs for iCloud.
We are divorcing soon. Since wife bought most of the music over the years I agreed to let her have the iTunes account. I understand that is as simple as going into iTunes and changing the Apple ID email from mine to hers. My question is what will happen to my Apple ID.
Will I still be able to access my iCloud data (iWork and calendar) and will I then be able to start re-purchasing music and apps through iTunes on a different computer?

I doubt it but I haven't seen any documentation on that. Also, just so you are aware, you can only switch to a different family group twice per year. A number of people have found that they were inadvertently locked out of Family Sharing for a year by removing then re-adding family members during the Family Sharing setup. If might be worth your while to give Apple support a call to fully understand the implications the changes you are considering.

What happens if I don't update iTunes when prompted and stay with an old version?

I ask because I hear about so many problems people have when they do apply updates.
Basically, what am I missing if I don't?

The new features included with the updates, which include the ability to sync recent devices.

Why exactly do you care if it is registered?
Is there some issue with the device?

What happened to the sidebar view in iTunes 12.0?

What happened to the sidebar view in iTunes 12.0?

"Switch to Songs view. Everything will be much clearer"
I have no use for Songs view. I always use Albums view (personal preference - I think of my library as a collection of albums, not of songs), but never had any problem at all with the use of the top-left icons in iTunes 12. Indeed, I much prefer the iTunes 12 version of the sidebar - ironically, for the reason that some seem to object to it: it doesn't clutter up a standardized listing of my library content with device-related information, and does not change if I connect an iDevice. In general, the only interaction I need at the device level is the Eject function - all content syncing is controlled through playlists associated with each device I use (which, of course, are visible and can be modified whether a device is connected or not). I only need to see the details of a device on the rare occasions I want to make a change to its behavior with respect to synchronization.

What happened to my tv artwork in iTunes?

So can anyone explain what happened to my tv artwork in iTunes? It's not only the artwork that is messed up, but there are now multiple copies of each tv show in my iTunes, all the shortcuts in them work as well. Album artwork seems to have crossed over to tv artwork also. Music artwork is completely unaffected despite crossover in the other direction. It just began once when I opened iTunes, everything was suddenly wonky. Here are some screenshots so you get a better idea.
Anybody have any idea?
Thank you. Also help.

For those of you who were unable to resolve this issue by signing out of the iTunes Store and then signing back in: I was able to fix my problem by restoring from a Time Machine backup of my iTunes library file. Here's what I did:
Uncheck the "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" checkbox in your iTunes preferences (Store tab)
Quit out of iTunes
Copy your Time Machine backups of iTunes Library, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, and iTunes Library Genius.itdb over the current versions of those files in your iTunes directory (for most people, this will be Music/iTunes in your home folder)
Disable your internet connection by disabling your wireless or unplugging your ethernet cord. This is necessary in order to prevent iTunes from syncing with iCloud upon launch (for whatever reason this just caused the problem to reoccur after syncing).
Launch iTunes. Your library should be back to normal (minus your Cloud purchases of course).
Re-enable your internet connection and check the "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" checkbox.
The Cloud purchases should sync properly now.
Keep in mind that anything you downloaded from iTunes since your backup will show up as only existing in the cloud.

Resetting the iPod photo cache can free up space on the iPhone. That's all. You won't lose any photos.

What happened to the AIFF conversion in iTunes?

We have always converted mp3 files after getting a song from iTunes to AIFF files in order to use them in Final Cut. Under the "Advanced" tab in iTunes there is a drop down for "Creat AIFF File". Now, that seems to be gone and there is only a selection for "Create an AAC file". What happened to AIFF conversion? If I convert to AAC, when I go to import the song to Final Cut, it is greyed out and won;t let me selevt AAC songs. What happened? Is this a change in the new OS "Upgrade?

Under the "Advanced" tab in iTunes there is a drop down for "Creat AIFF File". Now, that seems to be gone and there is only a selection for "Create an AAC file".
That suggests that your Importing preferences are currently set to AAC rather than AIFF.
If you adjust your importing preferences, do you get "Create AIFF version" back?

What happened to the power search in itunes?

What happened to the power search in itunes?

Why? Indeed, is a very good question. Why take the most useful tool for finding music and bury it (in the case of version 10) or eliminate it (if you upgrade to version 11). I think ignorance is too generous an answer to this question.
Rather, I believe this is a cynical marketing ploy to steer you into buying WHAT THEY SUGGEST, instead of WHAT YOU REALLY WANT. Most vendors would be content to just advertise their suggestions, which you can pass by if you really know what you want. But for I-Tunes to willfully take away your ability to go directly to what you want is a sad insult to the buying public.
Also, they probably feel that power search is too effective in revealing what I-Tunes DOESN'T have available.
By all means, follow the advice given above - provide I-Tunes with the feedback that is sorely due.

Transfer old Apple ID purchase info to New Apple ID for iCloud purposes

Transfer old Apple ID purchase info to New Apple ID for iCloud purposes
I currently have an apple ID that i have used for many years of ABC. This will hold all the apps and songs etc that i have purchased over the years. So i can currently download apps from app store using the new "purchased option" from the "Cloud".
I have just set up and wish to make a new account my main account for iCloud and all purchases. This is XYZ . How do i get all the purchase history and account actions from ABC apple id, to map across to the new XYZ apple id.
My objective is to log into my iphone on itunes, app store and icloud using the new XYZ apple id, but still be able to view and download any and all previous purchases held against the ABC apple id.
Can I/Apple port this account over so all history of purchases on ABC apple id, is now held against the new XYZ apple id.
Thanks

RE all those that say it cannot be done or why do i want to or need to...
When my phone (on iOS 5) had the old/main apple ID logged in and used, the iCloud page where you can enable iCloud for apps, mail, notes etc - it would not allow me to turn on mail or notes for iCloud. Said i needed to create an iCloud/Mobileme address to use these features.
When i created new mobile/iCloud account today it worked fine for all iCloud options on my iPhone. Also, the emailed address for mobileme/icloud was more to my needs/liking.
The new mobileme/icloud ID created today cannot have my main email address added to it as it says my current/main apple id is that email address.
Any suggestions?

Contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them. Alternatively, just create a new Apple ID; previous iTunes Store purchases won't be transferred to it.

What happens to my websites created in iWeb when iCloud replaces IWeb (Rumoured)?...

What happens to my websites created in iWeb when iCloud replaces IWeb as is rumoured... they will be lost?

To tell you te truth We should should've all expected this...
With no new updates to iWeb in a good couple of years, even though it's an amazing piece of software enjoyed by million. It upsets me no end to see apple continually doing this and what have they done exactly? Left goodness knows how many customers worried and uncertain about a product they love and rely on, I do anyway.
One of the main reasons I have a Mac isn't only the build quality and the OS, although that does have a fair amount to do with it. The main reason for me moving to Apple and investing in a machine all those years ago was iWeb, being a creative control freak, I love to be able to get out my Mac, open iWeb and in minutes create a new launch page for a new mix, upgrade some of my services a customers asked for, recreate any aspect of how I present myself to people at a click of a button... I know you can upload to FTP server but phooey, why damage a good thing.
This as annoyed me no end... so I'll not doubt I'll be taking it out on an Apple employee tomorrow when I take back my blown power pack for my MacBook pro, my third one in 8 months... I sign of the way apple is going?
PS as for iOS 5 ... Seriously underwhelmed, we've been given features 90% of which should have been launched in iOS3!.. Oh, although I can't handle windows anymore, have you see. The new Windows 8 layer? Watch out Apple, he's behind you

HT204053 erase old apple ID and place a new due to expired old email

Hi to all. I have an apple ID in my iphone5 with which I have made my Apps purchases and it is also my Apple ID in icloud.The email of this ID has expired.Buing a new ipad and probably wrongly I did set on this ipad a new appleID with a new existing email.
Under this sircumstances I cannot transfer my purchase to the new ipad or i dont know how to do it.
In any case my question is can i erase somehow my old apple id and place my new in all my devices (iphone, imac. ipad) as i went
to appleid manage and tried to enter there my new email adress but it doesnt accept it since it says that it is already used.
I am a bit confused with all these and anybody who can help get out of this complicated situation please do. It will be highly appreciated.
Thank you all in advance

Unfortunately you created a new Apple ID with your new email address. Once you did that it can't be used with any other Apple ID. What you could have done was use the new email address for the old Apple ID and everything would have been fine.
I have not tested this, but another user has said that if you haven't really used the new Apple ID for anything and would be OK with abandoning it, that you can reclaim the new email address from the new Apple ID and resurrect your old Apple ID. This will only work if you are using 3rd party email addresses like [email protected]
1. Use these steps to change the new Apple ID to a fake email address just slightly different than your new email address.
Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID -

2. After you have used the above steps to change the new Apple ID to a fake email address, your new email address should be free to use with your old Apple ID following the same steps.
