When i use restore on my ipod will i lose all my purchases from my lib

when i use my restore on my ipod will i lose just what is on the ipod not all my purchases in my lib

Restoring an iPod has no affect on iTunes or your library. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

HT4137 if i restore my ipod will i lose all of my pictures ?

If I restore my ipod will I lose all of my pictures ?

Yes, unless you create a backup of your iPod before you restore it via iTunes. See here for what is included in the backup.
iTunes: About iOS backups
And information on how to backup your device.
iOS: How to back up
If these were synced photos, they won't be included in the backup that you can make via iTunes or iCloud, but since they originally were synced from your PC, they should still be there.

My kid`s been using my apple ID/account for years, but now that he`s older it`s time he got his own. Is there any way to either make a twin account so he doesn`t lose all his purchases from iTunes/AppStore when getting his own account?

They payment can still be from my card/account, that`s not the problem, but facetime, imessage etc. is a available on both mine and his apple products (I know you can check what email/phone number we can be reached at, but it`s just a click and he see my messages and I his). It`s the privacy problem that is the most important.

He needs to have his own account, the sooner the better.
As for content, non-protected songs can simply be copied to his own new library, and he can use them. As for protected content and apps, anything he still wants will have to be replaced.

how can i change my apple ID account to and MobileMe Account and will i lose all my purchases ?

I think I want to do the same thing! I want to change my Apple ID which is an email address to my MobileMe email address. When I try to do this, I get a message that says I can not do this! Any suggestions?

I have an iPad, four years old and still going strong. I want to upgrade to a newer iOS 8 iPad. If I do this, will I lose all my purchases on the old iPad? If not, how do I transfer my purchases?

Hi, If I buy a new iPad, iOS 8, will I lose all my purchases that are on my 4 year old iPad, iOS 5.5.1? If not, how do I keep them?

Follow the instructions here or here; using the first set of instructions then requires syncing the second device with the iTunes library containing the content.

Will I lose all my purchased apps if I create a new Apple id. Thanks Colin.

will I lose all my purchased apps if I create a new Apple id. Thanks Colin.

You will not lose the apps but you will not be able to update them without using the old ID. If you got a new email address, you can simply change your Apple ID. There is no need to create a new one.

If i uninstall windows 8.1 from my macbook pro, will i lose all the data from mac partition as well?

if i uninstall windows 8.1 from my macbook pro, will i lose all the data from mac partition as well?

Depends on how you do it
If you create a partition with Boot Camp and format that partition correctly
Then install Windows your data should not be touched
If you do anything wrong or there is any mishap during the whole procedure you could lose everything
Hence the reason I suggest that you backup first

When updating my itunes up came: itunes won't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing - try reinstalling. Where the file went I have no idea but, if I re-install will I lose all my purchases?

When updating my itunes on my PC (Windows 7) this message came up: Itunes program won't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing. Try reinstalling to fix this problem.
If I re-install, will I lose all my downloaded songs and other data I've accumulated over time?
Thanks!!

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I tried to just unplug and deal with it tomorrow but I can't get my screen to come up it just keeps showing the pic of charger to itunes!! Help thanks asap!

Yes you will lose everything on your iPhone. You can, however, recover data from a backup done either with iCloud or iTunes. Do you have any backups?

Will I lose all my work from free trial to purchase?

Hi, my free trial of Lr is ending in 4 days. I have lots of photos in my library and am working on a Blurb book. I'll need more time with Lr but how can I subscribe and keep my current content? In other words, if I signup to buy Lr, will I lose all the content I worked on during the free trial period or will it transfer to the new account?

No, you won't lose anything. If you purchase Lightroom from Adobe online and receive a serial number, you can activate the trial version you are now using. And even if it requires installing a new Lightroom program for some reason, it won't have any effect on your work. All of your work is stored in the catalog which is a user file. And user files are not replaced or modified when updating.

If I re-install my podcast app with a different apple ID will I lose all the media from the older one ?

I have the Podcast app installed on my iPhone with a lot if free media content downloaded.
Now I need to re-install the app with a different apple ID.
Will I lose all my content by doing do ?
Please help. I don't want to lose anything.
Please let me know if there is a work-around.

You don't really want a new Apple Account (which is what you are describing) - all of your iTunes purchases will still be tied to the old Apple Account, all of your iCloud info will be under that old Account, all of your Messages will be under that old Account.
Why not just to to Manage your Apple ID and edit your Apple ID to the new email you want it to be? You cannot edit an Apple ID using an Apple Domain email address (@me.com, @mac.com, @iCloud.com), but if your current ID is not using one of those type of email addresses, then changing it is the way you want to go. That way, everything stays with the Apple ID since it is the same Apple account.
Just be sure to sign out of all apps on the device (iCloud, Messages, iTunes & App Store, FaceTime) before you change it.
To EDIT your current Apple ID at Manage your Apple ID go to: Apple - My Apple ID

HT204053 If I start using a new apple ID will I lose all my old purchases the next time I sync?

Hello,
I'm really, really confused and I'd appreciate some advice. I came here after searching for information on merging two apple IDs so let me start my saying that I understand that I cannot do this. I get that. The FAQ says I just need to start using my preferred Apple ID from now on. How exactly do I do this? Is it as simple as logging in with the preferred ID next time I purchase something? If I do that, what would happen to all my purchases under the old Apple ID the next time I sync my devices?
Here is the background to my situation:
I created an Apple ID when I first got an iPod many years ago. It was my e-mail address at the time. All my iTunes purchases have been made with that ID.
I bought my first Mac a couple of years ago. At the same time I purchased a MobileMe subscription. My MobileMe subscription was later converted to an iCloud account.
I'm no longer with the ISP that provided me with the e-mail address used for my first Apple ID. My only e-mail account is now my me.com address.
I tried to change my Apple ID to my new e-mail address but it said it couldn't be done because my me.com e-mail is already in use.
All my iTunes receipts go to my old e-mail address that I no longer have access to. I'd like my receipts to go to my me.com address.
I have a MacBook Pro, iPhone 4S, iPod Touch (all synced through iCloud), I also have an iPod Shuffle.
In order to get my iTunes and App Store receipts to go to my me.com address, I think the FAQs are telling me that I need to start using my me.com address as my preferred Apple ID. It seems to gives me an option of changing my e-mail address for communications but as soon as it realises that it is a me.com address it says I can't do it.
I'm concerned that if I just make make my next purchase with my me.com ID the next time I sync my devices I'll just have one song on there rather than my entire library. Can somebody please guide me through this?

You need to retain the ID you are currently using for iTunes in order to retain access to your purchases. You should go to http://appleid.apple.com and log in using the iTunes ID, and add a contact address there - you could get a GMail account (free). You may be able to forward mail on from GMail to your @me.com address, I'm not sure about that.
You can continue to use the ex-MobileMe ID for iCloud - there is no problem about using two IDs in this way.

If I change my apple ID to a different one will I loose all my purchases from my existing ID

Hi There
I currently have several email addresses that I no longer use for email - because I now use the address that ends @me.com as my primary email address, and so I am cleaning up my digital life, by deleting these unused email addresses.
The problem is, one of these unused email addresses that ends in @btinternet.com is also my Apple ID for iTunes and the App Store. I know I can change this to something else, so I thought I would change it to my Windows Live address ending @hotmail.com (I need to keep this because its used for my XBOX Live Account).
So if I change my Apple ID to my @hotmail.com account, I will then have only three email addresses, my @hotmail.com address used for my XBOX Live account and my Apple ID, an @gmail.com address, used for password recovery, and my @me.com address, which is used as my primary email address.
That will be better than have lots and lots of different email addresses, but here is the question: If I change my Apple ID to my @hotmail.com, will I still be able to access my purchases from iTunes and the App Store that I bought usinfg my @btinternet.com ID. This is very important because I have spend 100s of pounds on music, videos and apps from iTunes, as well as purhased software and OS X upgrades from the App Store.
I will be deleting my @btinternet.com email address from the BT/Yahoo service, so the address will no longer be active. When I was reading Apple's help and support, it said that "Apple recomends that you use an active email address".
Can someone advise me
Thanks
jason

when you change your Apple iD it's pretty much changing the visual email, i guess that doesn't really answer your question, yes you keep your purchases, it just changes the log-in email and email where newsletters , etc. go to.
