When switching my iphone to a new apple ID will i lose my songs, apps, and imessages?

i currently share an itunes account with several people and devices. i would like to make my own apple ID. When switching my iphone to the new apple ID will i lose my songs, apps, and/or imessage conversations?

You need a valid/working email address in order to create an account.
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
  Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
More details of how:
http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
Note that if yo chaghe acounts in Settings>iTunes and App Store media will NOT be deleted from the ipod but:
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • If I create a new apple ID will I lose all the apps I have purchased with my original ID?

    If I create a new apple ID will I lose all the apps I have purchased with my original ID?

    I set up FaceTime and Messages on four different devices with only one Apple ID. I used the exact method that is described in the video that AnaMusic has provided to you in the link in her response above.  That method worked fine for my family, but you can create new Apple ID's just to use for FaceTime and Messages if you like. Many users prefer doing that as opposed to adding new email addresses.
    IMO - using unique email addresses (like in the video) makes sense, because we (my family) all have different email addresses anyway, and it was very simple to add each family members email address to both apps and remove my Apple ID email address as the contact address on each device.
    BTW .... if you are using your Apple ID on both devices - your phone number should be the number that is showing in the settings - not you daughter's. Did you set up the Apps with your Apple ID?

  • My family shares an account.  How do I switch my iphone to my new Apple ID without loosing all of my contacts and contents from the phone?

    I just purchased an ipad and created a new Apple ID.  My phone currently shares an apple ID that the whole family uses.  What is the best/easiest way to switch my iphone 4S to my new ID without loosing everything in my phone?  I want to streamline my own stuff...

    I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish.  Are you trying to change your Apple ID for all services (iCloud, iMessage, store purchases, etc.)?  You can safely use a different Apple ID for all these things without jeopardizing your contacts/photos etc.  If you want to change your iCloud account you would need to turn off syncing for contacts and calendars and when prompted, choose to keep your data on your phone (rather than delete it).  Then you can go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then you can set up a new iCloud account with a new Apple ID and turn on syncing for contacts, calendars, etc. again.  To change your iMessage Apple ID, go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in with your alternate ID.
    Where you will run into problems, however, is if you sync to a new iTunes library.  If you have already synced to one library and try to sync to a new one, iTunes will erase all iTunes content and replace it with the content in the new iTunes library.  Let me know if that's what you are trying to do.

  • HT2731 if i set up a new apple id, will i lose all my previous downloads and purchases

    My daughter has been using my email as her apple id and we want her to get her own.  If she creates
    a new apple id, will she lose all her apps and music she has purchased?

    As the others stated purchases are inexorably linked to the Apple ID used to purchase them.
    An alternative solution is to create a new email address and Apple ID for yourself. The amount you have invested in purchases for your daughter vs. yourself will factor in this decision.
    If she doesn't want to use your email address, Apple IDs can be changed - not transferred, but changed to an email address not already associated with another Apple ID.
    One caveat to keep in mind is the age requirement for Apple IDs; thirteen years of age is the minimum. The only way for someone younger than that to legitimately have an Apple ID is for someone older to create one on her behalf.

  • I just got my new iPhone 4 today, can I just plug it up to my computer and it will transfer all of my info from my 3g iPhone to the new one or will I lose everything?

    Is this how you backed up your phone http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766  if not then sorry all your contents are gone.

  • I bought my Whatsapp from a friend's account, because my account buys only free apps. Thing is, if I updated my iPhone to the new iOS 5, will I lose Whatsapp?!

    I bought my Whatsapp from a friend's account, because my account buys only free apps. Thing is, if I updated my iPhone to the new iOS 5, will I lose Whatsapp?!

    When installing iOS 5, the iPhone is backed up first (which does not include any iTunes content including 3rd party apps) followed by being completely erased before iOS 5 is installed. This is followed by the backup being restored and all iTunes content in your iTunes library that is selected to be transferred to your iPhone being re-transferred.
    If the app is in your iTunes library, you shouldn't lose it, but since this app was downloaded with your friend's iTunes account, I'm not sure how the app wll be re-transferred unless your computer is also authorized with your friend's iTunes account with iTunes.
    No promises.

  • When I turn on my iphone4s, the apple logo will show for a few seconds, and it will suddenly fade off to a blank screen, and not start up. It will then restart by itself, and the cycle repeats. Any suggestions on how I can troubleshoot this problem?

  • If I make an apple Id,will I lose my songs and apps

    If I make an apple Id,will I lose my songs and apps?

    You can create another Apple ID for yourself. The songs and Apps you bought will remain on your device. Whenever there will be an update to an App bought with your mum's Apple ID though, you will be prompted to enter her Apple ID and its password.
    Same thing with the songs. If you delete them at anytime, a re-download will require her Apple ID and its password.
    Apart from that, don't worry about creating a new Apple ID, you can have several different Apple IDs... just don't mess them up.

  • If I update my Iphone 3GS to the newer software version IOS 6.1.3, will I lose my contacts, apps and photos?

    I am wanting to update my Iphone 3GS to the newer version IOS 6.1.3, but is afraid I might lose all of my photos including my wedding photos, apps and all of my contacts? How can I make sure I will not lose my photos, apps, contacts and all of my passwords. Is there a easier way in order not to lose anything? HELP!!!!

    Although included with the iPhone's backup, all photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
    Although contacts are also included with the iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer, and/or there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts and other data over the air.
    All iTunes content - all music, movies, tv shows, tones, audio and print books, and 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library on your computer.
    Settings, passwords, etc. are also included with the iPhone's backup, but so is a significant amount of other data. There is always the change some of the data included with the backup is corrupt or cannot be restored from the backup.

  • If I create a new Apple ID, will I lose my current stuff on iTunes?

    So, my current Apple ID is under an email that I deactivated (it was hacked into). I wanted to create a new ID using my current email. But will I lose everything on my iTunes library if I get a new one? Meaning is my music and apps and whatnot saved to my comuter or the application itself versus my Apple ID? I know that if I create a new ID that I can just transfer everything from my iPod to iTunes, but I have a 2G iPod Touch and it's a real pain in the neck when I sync it to iTunes (freezes/gets stuck/really slow).
    Sorry if this is a really dumb question.
    If this helps: I use the newest version (10.6 I believe? Just downloaded it a couple of days ago) for Mac.
    Thanks (:

    If you change ID nothing is going to reach out and delete files from your computer but anything requiring authorization would be problematic because they would be tied into your old ID. So, updating apps, or any movies you have, old DRM music...

  • I deleted my original email account which is tied with my original apple id account. If I create a new Apple account will I lose all of my music,videos, and apps?

    I deleted my email account that is tied with my original apple account. I created a new apple Id and I'm afraid that I will lose all of my previous purchases. Please help.

    Sort of.
    - Apps and other purchases are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - You have to log into the account opd do certain things with the purchases like transfer then to your computer.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    Try recovering yur PS for the first axccount so y can change the email address.
    How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
    If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. SeeChanging your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.
    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed.  If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.

  • If I get a new Apple ID, will I lose access to my current music?

    I share an Apple ID with my parents.  Now that I'm on my own; I'd like to set up my own so I can pay for my own music.  If I set up my own account will I lose access to all my music and content, specifically the things that I've purchased? (I'm talking purely about iTunes and iPod Classic)
    I am not well versed in technological iCloud-speak, etc. So simple explanations are greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    You won't lose the previous content, but it won't be transferred to the new Apple ID, and you may not be able to make in-app purchases from applications associated with the previous one.

  • If I deauthorize my iPad and authorize it with a new Apple ID, will I lose the previously purchased apps?

  • If i register my iphone on a new comp what will i lose

    help

    Actually, you will not have to reinput them all. All you need to do is make sure you have a supported application on the new computer to accept contacts and calendars, ensure there is at least one unique contact and calendar entry (something not already on the iPhone) and then sync. That will trigger the sync to ask if you want to merge the contacts and you say yes. That will take care of them.
    As the previous poster said, you would lose your music if you have not backed up your iTunes and transferred it to the new computer. Even if you have copied it over, iTunes will tell you it will erase everything, however since it is available on the new computer, it will sync right back.
