Can I move tunes purchased under one account to a new one

My husband has been using my account on his pc for Itunes.  Now that I have an iphone and iPad, I suggested he get his own account.  How can he get his music (purchased under my account) into his new account?

He cannot.
You can authorize his computer for your account so he can still use the music purchased under your account.  He can then make purchases using his own account.

  • Can I move a purchase from one library to another as long as it's the same account?

    Can I move a purchase from one library to another as long as it's the same account?

    Yes. Just copy the purchase to the user account/computer and drag it into the iTunes window or use the Add to Library command. If iTunes isn't authorized to the iTunes Store account the purchase was made through, you'll just have to authorize that system.
    Regards.

  • How do I make music, movies, etc purchased under one apple ID available to another apple ID?

    For a number of reasons I want to transfer our music, movie and book purchases to another Apple ID that my family can all have access to. How do I do this?

    You can't transfer purchases to another account, nor can you merge accounts or purchases.

  • Can't access tracks purchased under old account

    I have tracks on my itunes library which were purchased under an old email address.  When I try to play them, it asks me to log in with my old address, but I can't remember my password.  I have requested password reset / reminder but it never comes through (to either email address).  Any thoughts or do we think this is a customer service / reset style problem?
    Many thanks

  • Can I move storage purchased under old MobileMe account to my AppleID account?

    Can I transfer the extra storage purchased on my old MobileMe account to my AppleID account (which is my primary account for iCloud)?  If not, can I get a refund for the MobileMe storage to use toward my AppleID account?

    This can't be done: and you aren't due for a refund because your MobileMe account was extended for free from the date of its last renewal coming due up to the service closing in July, so you haven't been paying for it.
    As an ex-MobileMe user your migrated iCloud account (signed into with your ex-MobileMe address) storage has been extended by 20GB for free but only until the end of September - at that time it will revert to 5GB unless you purchase additional storage.

  • Can i transfer itunes purchase from one of my accounts to another of my accounts?

    can i transfer itunes purchases from one of my accounts to another of my accounts?

    No, all iTunes purchases will remain tied to the account that downloaded them, they can't be transferred to a different account (nor can accounts be merged).

  • Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

    Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

    You move the song files to /Users/Shared/ and then into iTunes from the other Mac OS X user account.
    If you want to change the iTunes Store account associated with them, you need to redownload them from that account.

  • In contacts, how can I move a contact from one account to another?

    My husband and I have (happily) shared contacts for years and all of a sudden we realized that some contacts would show up on one of my devices, but not on his.  After looking at the issue more closely, we realized that I somehow now have (and do NOT want) an additional contacts account called "on my Mac" that has been inadvertently populated with 22 contacts.
    1)  How can I move those to our shared account?
             When that is complete,
    2)  How can I delete the account called "On my mac"?
    Thanks!

    Thanks SO much, Barney.  How embarrassing, I could have sworn that I tried that first.
    I will definitely get them all moved over before I delete that account and I've already gone in & changed my preferences.  Several years ago, my husband I decided to share one calendar and one contacts list, using his mobile me account and it's been great for us.  I'm particularly thrilled to no longer serve as a human rolodex and I guess that I paniced a bit when I thought there might be a problem with our system.  I'm still confused where that "On my mac" account came from on the first place.  Do you suppose that was an automatic thing that came with the Mountain Lion upgrade?
    thanks again!

    Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time.  As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts.  How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account please?

    Yes.
    On their iOS devices, under Settings>iTunes & App Store, they should use your Apple ID. When they log into iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, they should use their personal Apple IDs.
