Changing Apple ID? Will I still keep previously purchased apps, songs, etc?
I want to change my Apple ID on my iphone from my family's account to my own created account. I have songs and apps along with in-app purchases that I had made on my family's account, however. If I switch accounts, will I still have my songs and purchased apps/in game purchases in my phone? Or will they be deleted since those were purchases made on another account?
Your purchased items will stay linked to the Apple ID. If you have access to the account, you can use it to download songs and apps onto your authorized computer/iPhone/iPad. They will stay on your phone or computer even if you sign in with another Apple ID. They will not be deleted unless you manually deleted them or performed a restore as new device.
However, if you intend to use the cloud to download already paid content onto your device, you will have to sign in again to your family's account.
They will stay on your phone as long as you don't connect to iTunes to sync, restore from a backup on iCloud or start as a new device. The apps are connected to the account though, so from then on everything will be on your account and not your families. So games may create new game accounts or have you re download apps as you are on the new Apple ID and updates from the games from then on will go to your new account. So basically unless you take anything off yourself, syncing, or from restore or backup they'll still be there.
No, if you use a different account, noting will be deleted. You can download songs ans apps if you also have account access. The content will stay on your computer until your manually delete it.
- Will updating my iPhone's software delete purchased apps and songs? I'm going to update my iPhone's 6.1.4 software to ios 7 when it is released in a few days. Some of my apps aren't available in the App Store anymore so will the update delete these apps off my phone?
- Will songs purchased from bandcamp on my mac still transfer to my iphone? I just got a Mac, and I'm loving the whole "downloading songs on computer puts them directly on your phone" thing. But I have zero idea how that works with things not downloaded from the itunes store. Any help would be super de duper.
- Why do the layouts keep changing? So I was just on here (in using my iPhone) and the layout was white and purple and I accidentally closed the tab. So I pull it up again, login, and now it's back to the normal green and white layout/color scheme. What's the deal?
- My contacts keep changing into my parent's contacts? I'm using my Dad's old iPhone 4, so it has all of his data. I cleared out everything that was his but I hate the part where each time my parent's add a new contact to their phone, everything syncs over to my contacts, so I'm scrolling down my list and see a new person I don't know but my parents do. Is there a way to change this?
