Giving son own Apple ID for new iPhone, will music be gone?
My son has used my Apple ID for years to download music onto his iPod. Now I'm getting him his first cell, an iPhone, and I think it's time he has his own Apple ID. However, will he lose all the songs he's downloaded over the years under my ID? Will he have to rebuy all of them for his iPhone since he will be using his own ID?
He can keep all of the songs you purchased on your Apple ID as long as they've been downloaded and added to iTunes on your computer. Set up his iPhone and click on the "Music" tab and make sure the checkbox labeled "Manually manage music and videos" is checked, so he can copy music from any computer he wants without losing the music he already has on his phone. You can copy all of the music you purchased onto his phone and they will play just fine even though he's using a different Apple ID.
- Why is there Chinese text on my son's new iphone 5? Bought the phone new from Best Buy. His phone is set to English language, but he stil has Chinese text in settings. Any idea what is going on?
- Which apple device can you load your own music? (no iTunes)? I like the iPod touch but all I see is that you have to have music through iTunes. But I don't feel like paying for music. I have my own music but it says I can't load it. I don't want a iPhone. But is there a apple device where you can load your own music?
- When I first got my new iphone, I logged in to my other apple id to get my bought things back. So now apple music doesn't work. What to do? So now it says "icloud can't be turned on because this device is already associated with another account" and it's mad annoying. Apple music delets some of my songs or majority of them and I can't turn on icloud for music.
- Synced iPhone with new Macbook & majority of my music is gone? It asked if I wanted to erase data from my old iTunes & sync with the new one, I said yes. Then 500 songs disappeared from my library. Not all of the them are purchased. There's still songs that i downloaded so I'm really confused as to what happened & how i can get them back!
