I set up my husbands computer with my apple ID. Now that he is (finally) getting an iphone, I need us to have different IDs. Since he used my ID to buy a bunch of music from itunes, I figure it's best to let him keep it and get a new one for me. But I don't want to lose all my data - contacts, photos, calendars, kindle downloads, and especially keychains. I have that ID on my mac, my phone and my ipad.
What do I have to do to protect/keep everything?
You will lose everything when you create a new Apple ID, since your new Apple ID will not be able to access your content and data.
What you CAN do is either
1. Continue to sign in with the old Apple ID just to access the old content...kinda cumbersome and not really a good fix
or
2. Create a Family Sharing Plan, where both Apple IDs will have access to the content from the old Apple ID. Here's how: Family Sharing - Apple Support
