Q: Migrating from one Apple ID to another

After I change countries and face all the problems that I describe here, I decided that the best option is just create a new Apple ID, even if that implies lose all my purchases.

 

With that in mind, I want to migrate EVERYTHING I can from one Apple ID to another (besides the purchase content, because I can't)

 

 

Questions and my guesses as a best answers - be free to reply with other solutions

 

Q: How can I migrate all the contacts, calendars, notes from iCloud?

A: Login with the iDevice with Apple ID 1, sync all the content, logout (say to don't delete the content), login with Apple ID 2 and wait for the content to be sync with the. You can not do that with notes, but well, you can do it manually, open 2 browsers with 2 different Apple ID's, go to icloud.com and start copy/past

 

Q: Can I have the app's sync there content with iCloud even if I don't have a iCloud email account?

 

Q: How can I transfer all the app content that is sync with the iCloud to the new iCloud?

 

Q: How can I change the general email I use from my Apple ID 1 login to Apple ID 2

A: Change the email you use to login in your Apple ID 1 to another email. Go to Apple ID 2 and change it to the email that you use before in Apple ID 1

 

Q: How can I migrate the alias emails that I have in Apple ID 1 to Apple ID 2, if I delete them in Apple ID 1, they will be right away available to add to another Apple ID, there is any time that we have to wait?

 


Probably I'm forgetting more stuff, but that's all for now.

    You cannot migrate anything under an old Apple ID to a new one because everything acquired on the old Apple ID is permanently tied to that Apple ID. All you can do is call Apple and ask if they are willing to transfer everything on your behalf or you can re-download and/or re-purchase everything under the new Apple ID.

    Anything, really?

     

    So you are saying my contacts, calendars, photos are tied to that Apple ID and there's no way to export them and then import them to the new Apple ID?

     

    Are you saying that the app content that in save in the iCloud Drive like in the case of the MindNode, Scanner by Readdle, One Safe, Pages and others can not be downloaded  and then after uploaded to the new Apple ID iCloud Drive?

     

    Are you sure you don't wanna try again?

    I assumed you understood how iCloud works, so all things thus controlled migrate themselves. And, no, I need not try again.
