Here we recommend a third-party tool — AnyTrans to help you transfer content from one iCloud to another. AnyTrans is an all-in-one iOS data management tool. And it also does great in managing iCloud data. Here are the features of AnyTrans. How about give it a try? Step 1. Be aware though that when using Family sharing, unless each family member has their own credit sum from iTunes gift vouchers, the organiser of the family share set up will pay for any purchases made by any family member.
Moving your iCloud data from one Apple ID to another is achieved more easily on a computer than it is on an iOS device, indeed certain aspects of the move can only be done on a computer. However, whichever device you choose to move your data on, you should do so by turning individual iCloud services off one at a time and not sign out of the account until all services have been turned off and dealt with.
Save data from your iCloud Drive to a computer before turning off this service. You can use the Finder on a Mac or through iCloud. Simply move the data to your new Apple ID once it is set up. Make sure you download and keep originals when prompted when you turn iCloud photo library off, you want the photos to remain on your device and merge with your new library when you set up your new Apple ID. If you use photo stream be aware that there may be more photos on your device than there are in the cloud, photo stream in the cloud only keeps up to photos for 30 days, if you have older photos on your device you may want to copy them to a computer before turning photo stream off.
Once you change your Apple ID, you will have a new iCloud email address. You will be given the opportunity to save contacts to your device when you disable this service, merge them when prompted when you re-enable the service after signing into your new Apple ID.

Apple One does include one option for helping users manage multiple Apple IDs for iCloud storage, but doesn't resolve the long-standing problems, and does add to the confusion.
That's because Apple's cloud-based services and its iTunes-related subscriptions were initially separate. Since the debut of the bundled service on Friday, it appears that it mitigates the issue but doesn't solve it. During the Apple One sign-up process, users will be prompted with the option to associate their included Apple One storage with the Apple ID that they currently use for iCloud.
That means users will get the amount of storage included with Apple One on their iCloud Apple IDs, and the initial iCloud storage plan will be cancelled though their data will remain intact. Of course, this solution doesn't involve consolidation or merging of accounts.
Users are also given the option to keep their Apple One iCloud storage associated with their primary iTunes and App Store account. In these cases, the storage for each account will be handled separately. When they did, it auto-cancelled their iCloud Apple ID storage plan.
After that, all of the data in that storage reportedly showed up on their Apple One account. I have the same. When I selected that I wanted to switch to Apple One iCloud storage it auto cancelled my iCloud account storage plan and all the data I had in that storage just showed up on my Apple One account iCloud storage. AppleInsider can't verify if this is common, and couldn't reproduce it ourselves. It could simply be a case of a user's device uploading its data to iCloud on a new plan instead of an actual transferal of data from one Apple ID to another.
While the options here will help users with multiple Apple IDs actually sign up for the service, it's far from the easy account merging or consolidation that users have been asking for. The need to merge Apple IDs is a real thing that should have been fixed a long time ago. I lost some but not most of my movies. Same for apps. Music was the worst, but on Apple Music so not purchases just had to re-add a lot of things to my library.
It has to do with how the individual content film, app, song is licensed. Also note this means it will depend on the two countries you are moving between ie. Wowfunhappy 4 months ago root parent next [—]. And this is why I flat-out will not buy digital content unless: 1. It's DRM-Free. I can remove the DRM. All iTunes movies released prior to fall into this category.
It's cheap enough that I can treat it like a rental; I fully expect to loose access after a few years and anything longer is a bonus. The only thing I lost was my entire music library. All other purchases remained, from what I can tell. I also had to change my Apple ID country once — the system blocked me because I had credit left on my account after applying a gift card.
The amount remaining on my account? I had the same problem with remaining 50 uen moving country from Japan to Europe. But call to Apple Support solved the problem.. For the record, changing country on Spotify is fairly easy. You need to cancel your subscription and wait for your account to be a free one, then change your country and restart a new subscription. Flimm 4 months ago root parent next [—]. On Spotify, there is some music that is only available in some countries.
But it's a small fraction of the music, probably less than 0. When switching countries, those songs will be kept in your playlists even if unplayable, IIRC.
Why not just download the songs from iTunes Match, then reupload after the switch? Man, that sounds like it would work, but what an annoying workaround for a stupid problem on their side - which I guess has to do with music licensing in different jurisdictions. He couldn't get iTunes on his iPad to play stuff because Serves him and his girlfriend right, they came on board the plane as the last 2 people carrying six large shopping bags as carry-ons.
I figured it would keep my library around, just deactivated. I actually did end up attempting to restore backups where i had downloaded everything, but as soon as I signed in with my account it just deleted everything from my local library again.
I had been using windows more and more and I didn't care so I switched to Spotify and am better for it. It's non-deterministic because they don't care about it, because caring about or not caring about it are treated equally - there are no forces that make them need to care. There is no profit motive. I have an iPad signed into an account I created on the fly to try to "start from scratch" - I didn't realize that there would be no way to have interoperability with another 15 year account I had with Apple.
Of course, now that that's the case - I just have to deal with some nonsense restriction that's imposed because of some risk-averse lawyer sitting in a corner office.
Glad I can still torrent movies, cheers to Bram Cohen for advancing the field and denting the absurd DRM culture that's developed. People would never apply it to a government but give it to a nepotistic dictatorship like Apple without a second thought. Apple has a culture problem re regressions which is only hurting them and not benefiting them.
That's why they warn you when you open Notes or Reminders and give you an opportunity to not upgrade so all your devices are compatible with each other. Here's a common way this happened. You got an iTunes account first, before the predecessor of iCloud even existed.
The Apple ID this created was associated with your regular email address. You got a. Mac or MobileMe account early on. Those originally required you to use an email address at one of the Apple-owned domains mac. Thus you ended up with another Apple ID associated with that email address. Annoyed me enough that I burned 15 years of purchases and other history to start again from scratch on a new ID I control completely.
And yes, every device under my control has been wiped and reset without a restore, no go. Hotel California…. This is no longer true.
I was able to change the primary email address on my mac. I did this maybe a year ago. The mac. I got the iTunes account a long, long time ago. And then when I heard the me accounts were going to go free, I got one so I could name-squat. And then when I totally drink the Apple Kool-Aid I find out that I can't merge the two accounts, even though I've changed the iTunes account email a couple times.
So now it's a continuous exercise in trying to remember which account I use for what. Essentially, if it involves money, it's the iTunes account. Well, except to pay for the iCloud storage.
Yeah, pretty straightforward. For me the Apple ID has always been the one and only.
