Can I transfer music from one apple id to another?

I have always used my sisters iTunes when buying music and apps as I never really needed my own and well it was cheaper buying it into one account than do it separately. However now I am off to uni, I would like my own apple ID for my new mac and hopefully iPhone. We obviously need separate accounts now but I still want the music that's on hers. Is there anything you can do to transfer music from one account to another so they both have the same?

Not without buying the content again.

You can give the person a copy of the song files, which they can then add to their iTunes library.

Can I move music from one apple account to another?

Typically not. Consider the case where you used an Apple account (call it A1) to purchase songs from iTunes. Now you are interested in moving your music to account A2. Well A2 does not own the music - A1 does. So that's a problem.

If you mean iTunes Store accounts, no.
If you mean iTunes libraries, import the song files into it.

How do I transfer music from one Apple ID to another on an iTouch?

My mom bought some songs with her Apple ID that I want to transfer to my own iTunes library. I've done this before because I got a bunch of music from my dad's Apple ID that I had bought when I was sharing with him, but now I can't figure out how to do it again. I have the iCloud, so should I just delete my iCloud account from my iTouch and log in as her to get the music, then delete hers and log back into mine?

You can not transfer music (or anything else, for that matter) from one Apple ID to another. However, the iTunes library doesn't care which ID was used for the purchase. All music, apps, movies, etc. from multiple IDs can reside on the same library in the same iTunes.
Before I continue, I need a bit more information. You referred to your mom's ID and your dad's ID. Do you also have your own ID? Which music and apps, etc. is actually on the iPod? Which music and apps, etc. is actually in the iTunes library?

Transfer music from one Apple account to another

Is it possible to transfer purchased songs from one Apple account to another? I have some music on my account that I have downloaded for someone who did not have an account. Now, they have an account, and I want to transfer their music to their account. I don't desire access to these songs anymore.

Can I transfer Music from One Zen Micro to another Zen Mic

Hello,
I've had my Zen Micro (Green) for 3 weeks now and now my girlfriend wants one a Zen Micro too, which she'll get in the next few days. I was wondering if there's any way to transfer mp3s from my Zen Micro to hers?
I was thinking if I plugged 2 Zen Micros into my PC and then load up the Nm=oman Player and just drag the songs from one Zen Micro to another......will that work. Or is it best to just drat the songs onto the PC and then transfer them onto my Girlfriend's Zen?

I would imagine you can do that .... although you may need the latest firmware 2.xxxxx which would mean you have to use WMP 0 ...
I should wait until she gets hers then plug it into your PC and see if it recognises it .... if it does you have no worries .. if not post again and everyone will do there best to help out

Is there a way to transfer music from one Apple ID to another?

When I got my first Ipod several years ago my parents created an Apple ID, or whatever it was called back then, so I could download music. This is where about 90% of my music was downloaded from. When I got my Iphone 4S just over a year ago I created my own Apple ID with my own email address. I used this ID to download more music. I used this ID to sign in on my laptop and I downloaded some music from some CDs and other non-Itunes material. However it will not let me sync my Iphone to this ID because it says it can only be synced to the other one and in order to sync it with the one under my email address I have to clear what is currently on my Iphone in order to sync with the small material on the Itunes library under my email address which is stupid because then I end up losing most of my music downloads. What I am wondering is if there is a way to transfer material from my parents ID to mine so all of my stuff is in one place without having to clear my Iphone.

useless sabotage is right you cannot move purchases between Apple IDs.
What you could do is to authorise your laptop with your old Apple ID
Store > Authorise this Computer..
Then transfer all the old purchases from your old computer to this one so they are all in the same itunes.
Connect up your iPhone 4 to the new machine. Yes it will ask you to erase. Go ahead and erase then as all your music is on the iTunes for this machine you can resync it but still use your new Apple ID for future purchases.

Can you transfer data from one apple id to another?

i ave 3 devices hooked up to 1 apple id.
im looking to transfer the data from this to a new apple ID and restore the original id.
is this possible?

Any reason you created a new AppleID?
iTunes purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID used to purchase. This cannot be changed.
What do you mean by "restore the original id"?
You can easily merge content from different AppleIDs into one iTunes library.

Can I transfer purchases from one apple id to another?

I have been using my apple id for both mine and my daughter's purchases, but now I want to separate hers into her own apple id. Can I transfer purchases?

No, that's not possible unless Apple is willing to assist. You would need to open iTunes and click on the Accounts link under Quick Links then contact Apple about your question. Also see,

How to transfer music from one apple account to another

So, for some reason I couldn't get into my Apple account to sync my new ipod 5 and get my music on it, so I was going to transfer my music to a new account that I had just made. I was still logged in on my friends desktop, so I synced it and got almost all of my old music. So for the past 2 hours, I've been trying to get my music onto my laptop. I've tried copy and paste, moving it to a usb, clicking and dragging to the desktop, clicking and dragging to drop into the device, but I've got nothing. What do I do?!?! Please Help!!! D:

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

Can you transfer music from one iTunes account to another?

I want to make another apple ID but I don't want to lose all my old music.

Hmm. I just discovered that quite some time ago I set up a second account. Don't remember why, but just realized that some songs from my old account wouldn't sync to my new IPad. Managed to get them synced by entering the old account ID (thank goodness it came up as a default). But am wondering if there's any way to move those songs to my current ID. I'm suspecting based on your first sentence above Roger that I can't. That would really suck. I know the next time I have to go through this process I will have forgotten that I have two IDs.
