Will it affect my music and apps if I make a new iTunes account for iMessage?

I made a new apple account and i want to know if it will affect my iPod if I do.

Hi bakingkatie,
It sounds like you want to use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another for iTunes Store purchases. Here's an article that should help explain how that will work:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4895
When you set up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can use the same Apple ID for iCloud services and purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore. You can also use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You will get all the benefits of iCloud whether you use the same Apple ID for iCloud and store purchases, or different IDs for each.
Have a good one!

HT201269 Could I make a new iTunes account for my iPhone and transfer the music and tv episodes from the cloud of my old account to my phone?

I want to make a new iTunes account, but I don't want to loose all of my previous purchases from my old account. Could I create a new account from y iPhone? And with that new account, could I use the icloud from the old account to sync my previous purchases?

Purchases are forever tied to the ID used to purchase them. If you create a new iTunes account, you can still get your old purchases on your phone, but you'd have to sign out of the iTunes/App store with your new ID, then sign in with your old ID, then download them. Also, apps can only be updated using the ID used to originally obtain them. So, you'd have to sign out/sign in to update your apps that were obtained with the old ID.

My itunes will not start in Win XP. I get an error that says MSVCR80.dll can't be found. I am scared if I just reinstall iTunes that I will lose all my music and apps that are in the old itunes. What can I do.

My iTunes will not start in Win XP. I am getting an error that says MSVCR80.dll can't be found. I am concerned that if I just do a reinstall
of iTunes it will overwrite or delete all the music and apps I have on the current app that won't start. When I boot the PC I get the following:
APSDaemon.exe - unable to locate. MSVCR80.dll not found. Reinstalling application may fix this problem. How can I get iTunes started without losing
all my music and apps? Thanks

It won't unless a problem occurs. Back them up, uninstall iTunes and all related components, and reinstall them.

HT1918 will i lose my music and apps when i change itunes account

can i change itunes account info and keep all my downloaded music?

Why would you make a new itunes account?
All of your purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchasd. You will need to authorize your computers for that account.

If I make a new iTunes account will I lose my app music etc from my old account

1. No.
2. Not as long as you're still syncing it with the same iTunes library. If you meant iTunes libraries and not iTunes Store accounts to begin with, you need to use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes.

The music sync is one one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases

If I make a new itunes account on my(now my 12 year old brother's) first generation ipod touch, will any data be deleted? I keep telling him that i don't think anything will be deleted and he keeps saying that he'll have to download everything again. Please answer. I've asked identical questions but received no answers.

It shouldn't be. You can use multiple Apple ID's one one device. But keep in mind that purchases made under one ID are permanently tied to that ID. So if you need to update an app that was purchased with a certain Apple ID, it will needed to be updated with those Apple ID credentials.

Can I create a new itunes account for my kids and still keep old music on both?

My kids currently have ipod nanos. They are getting ipod touches for christmas. Originally we setup a "family" itunes account on my computer. We now want to set them up their own account on their own laptop. Can we transfer old music from nano to touch to the new itunes account?

You can usehHome Sharing so the music will be accessable on their computers, Their computer will have to be authorized for the iTunes account. For more informations see:

A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You should use the same iTunes account for all your devices.

Why not use your previous iTunes account (Apple ID)? Explain a little more, please.

HT5796 If I change my Apple ID will I lose my music and apps?

I'm planning on changing my Apple ID but I'm worried I'll lose my music and apps and anything else I did while using my previous Apple ID. That's why I wanted to know if I'll lose the apps and music I had downloaded and paid for.

You won't, but they won't be transferred to the new Apple ID afterwards; the applications will need to be updated from the old one, and you may need to be signed into the iTunes Store with it to make in-app purchases from them.

If I make a new iTunes account, can I transfer my music and apps to it?

Okay so about 2 years ago, I went to my friend's house so that she could put music on my iPod and ever since then I've had an iTunes account through them (using their apple id to have a playlist, get apps, etc.) but recently I had tried to get a new app and when I entered the password for their account, it said that it was an incorrect password. I tried the password multiple times to see if I maybe typed it wrong but still there was no luck so my guess is that they changed the password forgetting that I was using the account, too.
So basically I just made this iTunes account to ask this question and I'm onderin if I reconnect my iPod with this account will I be able to transfer my music? (If this helps, I have the iPod touch 4th generation)

I'm not using their money like I don't have any of their songs or apps. Everything that I have I downloaded it myself. The apps are no problem if they can't be transferred because they're all free ones I just want to know if there's a way to sync the songs on my iPod that I physically downloaded myself to my new iTunes account.

Will it affect my music and apps if I make a new iTunes account for iMessage?
