IPhone :: Change One Persons Apple Id For A Shared Account Without Losing Previous Purchases For Either?
May 15, 2012
I have two children who have shared an Apple ID for the iPod Touches. The older is now getting an iPhone and is old enough to manage his own ID. My question is, if we set him up with a completely new Apple ID, will he be able to sync the phone with iTunes as a new device, even though iTunes currently syncs with his iPod? I guess what I'm asking is, can two different Apple ID's/devices sync with the same iTunes without messing up either device or getting the wrong information sync'd?
I currently have an apple ID on my iPhone which I've been sharing with my husband.I had to turn iCloud off so that my info wouldn't get downloaded on his devices too.I purchased an IPad and created a new user ID and would like to sync my iphone with my ipad. I want to switch over my iPhone to the ID I have on my iPad.Will I lose all the songs I've downloaded using the original Apple ID?
When I try to send text messages or to back up my info to the ICloud,everything seems to be linked to her email address and I can't get rid of it. Do I need to wipe it all out and re-install all my contacts and pictures all over again?
I entered my old email on my samsung s6 and want to use my new one with a new account, but it says i may lose my contacts, which i strongly dont want to, and i also want to keep all the pictures i have, is there any way to change samsung account without losing contacts and pictures?

I just purchased a used unlocked /jb'd 3g iphone. There was left some pretty nasty purchased music on it that I want off of it. How can I delete these old purchases from an unknown account?
i lost my 9300 and im trying to locate but cant since there isnt sufficient wireless coverage, most probably because it has been switched off, so it was suggested that i can locate it if my account is linked to someone else or rather sharing a blackberry id account?
Me and my wife share an iTunes account between our phones. Does this mean we will only be able to setup 1 profile? What happens when we are both trying to use it at once? What happens if we are invited to a game, does both of our phones get the invite?

I recently bought an iphone and have been a previous ipod user. Apple will not allow me to transfer any music purchases that were not directly purchased from itunes themselves. Even though these are legitimate and legal purchases, it will only sync those purchased in itunes. How can I sync my entire library using my same account on my new device?
My apple iPhone continues to ask for an old user's password when I need to update an app. The previous user was my daughter and all of her info was removed from the iPhone, her email, passwords to accounts on the iPhone, etc. Sometimes it requests my own password, but usually asks for hers. How do I completely eliminate her password to consistantly use mine?

I just recently bought an iPhone 4. After I erased all content and restored to factory default, It asked about an iCloud activation which was linked to the account of the former owner. I asked the owner about this if she could unlink this device from her apple ID but she forgot her old apple ID and the password. Is there some way I could unlink this to the previous Apple ID?
My girlfriend is using my old iPhone 3G that I have her. I activated it through my account on ITunes as well as put the majority of my apps on her phone. She wants her own account now but my question is; will all of the apps on her phone be deleted if she makes her own account and syncs the phone with it?
It used to work fIne. Apps like Pandora, iTunes, and even Nike Training Club used to mirror fine to my Apple TV until recently. This problem persisted before and after I upgraded to ios 5.1. I lose AirPlay after just a few seconds of play. Is this something that can be resolved? Do I need to get my devices replaced?
Has anyone talked to a rep at least and told that they are looking into it? Would be smart to just come out with a generic statement. "we are aware of the connection problems some users are having when hold the exterior of the phone and are working on a solution" would be nice to hear.

How do I permanently & completely change the PC I sync my iPhone 4 to? I already lost all music and data when dinosaur PC died forever. I have a new laptop and want to be able to sync again without losing the only music and data I have -- the stuff still on my iPhone. I sync contacts through Exchange and email, calendars and notes to Gmail.
My Exchange is currently set up to sync with my work email, with a secondary Exchange for my gmail emails. I have a new job now and no longer have access to the original main Exchange account, so need to delete this. However given that I have been using this Calendar for personal appointments / events I don't want to lose all this info. How do I either backup my current Exchange calendar to iCloud, or to some other format that I can then re-import under a new Exchange account?

I recently inherited a Curve 8530 from a previous employee at my company that still has his email associated with it. The phone has been given a new number w/ data plan, but in order to remove the old email account I need the old email password. The company no longer has contact with said employee, and so I am stuck with a phone that I am unable to use email on until I find a way to remove the old account. Is there any other way of doing this?
