Can i transfer a remaining giftcard balance from my old iTunes account to my new one?

When i set up my iPhone 4 it would not accept my iTunes account so i had to make a new one. Now that i have the new one that my phone runs off of i would like to transfer the remaining gift card balance from my old account to my new one. Is this possibe? If so how do i do that?

You cannot.
You should not have to make a new one.
What was the problem with the old one?

  • HT1918 how do I transfer purchases from an old itunes account to a new one?

    I recently bought a new Macbook and just transfered my iTunes library from my old one by using an external hard drive.  It turns out that a lot of my music was bought through an old itunes account and I can't remember the password for that account so as to authorize my new computer.  I have since started a new account and want to know if there's a way I can move what I purchased through my old account into my current account.  Help! 

    Sorry, but you cannot transfer purchases from one iTunes Store account to another. You'll need to continue to use that old account ID for authorizations and re-downloads. If you can't remember the password, you should be able to reset it through this web page:

  • Is it possible for me to transfer the purchases from my old itunes account to my new one? I would like to keep all of my music, movies, tv shows etc.

    I just created a new Apple ID that is different from my old one. Is it possible for me to transfer the purchases from my old account to my new one? I would like to keep all of my music, movies, tv shows etc.

    It doesn't matter what your AppleID is - you can just change the email address associated with it at http://appleid.apple.com/ as mentioned numerous times above.
    Okay, my former Apple ID = my former email address and the latter is dead because I moved out of the geographic area.
    If you just updated the email address associated with your AppleID you wouldn't have to sign in twice.
    I guess Apple Inc is wrong because that is EXACTLY what they stated when I called yesterday afternoon.  SIGN IN TWICE when I activate Apple TV and want to watch/listen to my legitimate purchases when my iMac is OFF.
    Your only problem is the fact you didn't safely store the password to your account and subsequently forgot it.
    Wrong ... my only PROBLEM, SIR, is that my bride, my wife of over 51 years died in my arms at 4:16 AM on December 27, 2012.  As a direct result, I decided to get the **** out of the city where my Nancy and I lived for **** near 20 years.
    On the outside chance it is of interest to you, she is buried at Arlington National Cemetery, Section 66, based on my faithful military service during 1961 -> 1981 ... including Vietnam during 1967.

    Part of this PROBLEM, SIR, is that Apple Inc refuses to merge my old purchases with my new one.
    SHAME ON YOU!!!

  • Can't transfer all of my music from my old iPod Touch to my new one?

    Recently I purchased a new iPod Touch to replace my well-used, three-year-old one.
    I would like to remove the music from my old iPod to the iTunes library on the computer, and then sync it on to my new iPod.
    Most of the music I wanted to transfer was already in the library, so that was easy to do. However, I have roughly 20 songs that are not in my iTunes library, but are on my old iPod. I have tried and tried to get them into the library to transfer them, but I can't do it.
    Is this even possible? How would I go about doing it?

    Are these songs ones you purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, the "Transfer purchases from iPod" command under the File menu in iTunes should work. Have you tried that?
    If these are not songs from the iTunes Store, you'll need third-party software to get them back into iTunes. Check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod media recovery options:

  • HT5312 How can I transfer money from an old iTunes account to my new one?

    I got a new iTunes account because the old one kept asking me for security questions. I don't remember them so I went to the support page and tried to reset them but it wouldn't let me click on boxes to put in my information. All I want is to get the money from my old account to my new. And I don't know what to do. Help?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    Getting the money transferred requires using the form, and that you still have the gift card it came from, and that none of that card's balance has been spent.

  • Is there a way to transfer music I've purchased from my old Apple account to my new one?

    Hi everyone,
    Many moons ago, when the iPod came out I downloaded iTunes and setup an account using my then current e-mail address aka user ID for iTunes.  However, fast forward about 8 years later and that old e-mail address has long been forgotten.  I know the log in information but I haven't used the e-mail for communication purposes for about the last 3 years.  At the time I got myself a new e-mail address I just continued to download from the iTunes store using the same account with the old e-mail address because basically I was never really concerned with getting the receipts, weekly updates, etc. (I get enough e-mail as it is, lol). 
    This past summer my husband bought me an iPhone and set it up for me using my new/current e-mail address, different from the one I had purchased 100's of iTunes songs with over the past 8 years or so.  It seems as though while I can authorize iTunes for both of the accounts, and share the music on different computers, I can only transfer the ones I've downloaded with my new username/e-mail address from iTunes to my iPhone?!  What do I do about all of the 100's of purchases I made with my other account, are they now worth nothing as far as getting them on my iPhone which I use as my iPod nowadays?!
    I'm staring at my lucky bamboo as I type this because I get this feeling that I'm SOL .  I've tried "googling" my way to the answer but I haven't been able to find it.  And if it turns out I am, than shame on Apple.  It's ridiculous to presume that someone will keep the same e-mail address created as a kid which is typically a non-sense, flashy e-mail to adulthood when they tend to be a little more reserved and business friendly; there should be a way to transfer between user accounts if it's clear that that account and billing information is the same.
    Any help is appreicated.
    Thanks.

    Zion,
    This worked! ...about 50%, but I suppose that's better than nothing.  I went into iTunes on my old username and downloaded the 300+ songs to my library but then for some reason when I went to transfer them to my iPhone it would only transfer like 120 or so of them.  I'm not really sure why but I'll continue to work on it.  Thanks so much for the help.
    FYI - if anyone else reads this bc they have the same problem.  If you choose to go this route and download previous purchases from your old account you cannot auto download any content on your new(er) apple ID for 90 days after the purchase download.  Just something to keep in mind, but for me, it was totally worth it.  I have no qualms about manually transferring the songs to my iPhone for the next 3 months if it meant getting the rights to transfer all my old songs to my iPhone.
    Thanks again!

  • How do I transfer songs on my Iphone4 from a different Itunes account to a new one?

    I downloaded ITunes onto my laptop today and created a new itunes account. The itunes i was using before existed on on my PC in a server that has now been deleted so now, the external files where i saved my music is gone. i do not download my music off of itunes. i use a youtube converter. I have all of my music in my phone still and i've downloaded new songs onto my laptop and i have synced them onto itunes, but i cannot sync the new music into my phone without deleting all of the music that's already there.

  • I have two itunes accounts - one i had on my original pc and then one i created with my Mac. Is it possible to add the library from the old iTunes account to my new one

    I have two itunes accounts. One is an old one with a substnantial library attached and one is much newer which I created with my new Mac. Is it possible to merge the two libtaries into my new account?

    You can merge the two libraries but not the accounts. Each account is a separte entity.
    You are likely best to use the older account as that is where a bulk of the purchases are from. If the file is a unprotected purchase then it doesn't matter. If the content is DRM encoded then you will need to authorize your computer to both accounts as needed. All new music purchases are DRM free but video is still DRM encoded.
    There is no reason to create a new iTunes or Mac App Store account if you get a new computer.

    "So, is it possible to sync/merge/move/share those purchased apps from the old apple-ID to a new apple-ID?"

    Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased, and will always have to be updated using that account.

  • How can I import playlists, ratings, and play counts from an old iTunes library into a new one?

    After reading countless threads re: how to get the iTunes artwork screensaver to work, I decided to delete my iTunes library file and reimport all of music which resulted in fixing the iTunes artwork screensaver.  Unfortunately (and expectedly), my playlists, playcounts, and other information were lost with the creation of a new library.  Is there any way to import the playlists, ratings and play counts for my music from an old library file to my current one?  I realize this may be complex, but I'm up for the task.
    Thanks in advance,
    B

    I can't begin to describe how frustrating the screensaver issue has been for me (and I suspect countless others, judging by the number of threads on the topic). 
    I took your advice, though, just to test it.  After backing up my current library.itl, I copied and pasted the old .itl file into its place.  As expected the playlists, play counts, etc were instantly restored.  And now the screensaver fails to work with the dreaded error 'No iTunes artwork found' which makes me think it IS an issue with the old library file.  The only work around I've seen so far is to rebuild the library (which I did). 
    I'm afraid I'm going to be forced into choosing either a working screen saver or all my itunes data.  Very frustrating indeed.
    Here's a link to the 'definitive' fix for the screensaver, if you're interested.

  • Can I sync purchased/merge/move apps from an old apple-ID to a new one?

    Hello all.
    I have been using an apple-ID, which I have been sharing with my family, for about two years now.
    Now I want to have my own apple-ID, so that I can have fully control over it myself, and so that I can use iCloud on my own apple devices and not on the whole family's!
    The problem is, though, that I have purchased a lot of apps on that old apple-ID, and I do not feel like buying all of those apps again on a new apple-ID - that would be a waste of money!
    So, is it possible to sync/merge/move/share those purchased apps from the old apple-ID to a new apple-ID?
    Of course I can keep all of the apps on my devices, but then again, it would be very unpractical to purchase and update some apps with the new ID, while I still have to update other apps with the old one.
    Any solutions?

    "So, is it possible to sync/merge/move/share those purchased apps from the old apple-ID to a new apple-ID?"
    No.

    Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased, and will always have to be updated using that account.
