iCloud storage and data to other Apple ID

hello you all,

I have a question about iCloud storage, I used for 12+ years my iCloud/Apple ID but now I want to change my Apple ID cause of some privacy issues but I wonder how I can change the iCloud storage or transfer my storage ( and 50 mb account) to my new Apple ID ? or is that impossible?

do I have to say goodbye to my data and just start fresh.

All ready figured out that I can t transfer my money on iTunes account so that's also a bummer. I love apple but somethimes you wonder why they make it so impossible

hope you can help me

You can move most data from one account to the other

This article can be useful:

Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud – Apple Support

And you can use family sharing to share some of the purchases. You need to have the old apple ID in a family sharing group.

Share App Store, iTunes Store, and Apple Books purchases with Family Sharing - Apple Support

My advice would be to keep using your old apple ID. And rather make sure you secure it instead. making a new Apple ID shuld not be necessary

You can change the apple ID email:

Good luck!

Hi,

If you insist on creating a secondary Apple ID versus simply updating your Apple ID email as referenced in Change your Apple ID, an alternative resolution would be to Set up Family Sharing on your primary Apple ID, invite the secondary Apple ID, and enable purchase sharing on both.

With this set up, you share previously purchased content between the two accounts, as well as an iCloud+ Storage plan. Keep in mind, the storage plan allotted amount is shared between the two Apple IDs, not the content.

If that isn’t the best resoution for you, you can make copies of the content you have associated to your Apple ID as referenced in Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud.

Hope this helps.

thx for the answers,

try to search the internet allready but can ' t find my answers.

I tried to change my Apple ID but that didn't worked so that's why I created a new adres cause of all the problems.

So on my Mac I have a new Apple ID and on my phone my old one cause of my iTunes Saldo , I still have money on it and that's also a problem cause there is no way you can transfer that money or otherwise

So I tried to update my data. in personal info and than reachable on..... , I have 2 email addresses on there.

one is my Apple ID and second is an alias, both I can 't change for some reason. So when I want to try to add a new email @iCloud.com (3rd) I t s not possible and it doesn't send an verification code

SSo for some reason I can't change
