How can I transfer purchased music to a new iTunes account for my daughter who now wants to make her own purchases?

Daughter is over 18 and wants to make her own purchases. She has music I no longer need to share with her. Can I give it to her somehow?

purchased music is tied to the iTunes store account (Apple ID) used to purchase the content and cannot be transferred.
however, a single iTunes can be authorized for up to five Apple IDs. so, all your daughter needs to do is authorize her iTunes for your Apple ID along with her own. you can use home sharing or an external HD or burn the tunes to disc to transfer them to her computer/user account on your computer.

    My iPod Classic is synced with an old iTunes account.  How can I transfer this music to my new iTunes account?

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.

  • My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6  years.  We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc.  Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

    No.
    One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
    But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
    Create separate computer logins for each of you.
    This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

    -Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music form iPod to computer by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Then connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restiore the iPod from that backup.

  • How can I transfer a podcast feeds from one itunes account to another?

    For a couple of years we have been using a third party company to edit and submit our podcast feeds to itunes. They have been doing this using their own itunes account. After changing things round a little, I have now created an itunes account for our company and want to transfer the current live feeds from the other guys account to my new account but I have no idea how to do this. Although the guy is very good, I don't reckon he is that technical so I thought I may be able to get some assistance here.
    Any takers?
    Thanks

    It's not currently possible to transfer an account's balance from one account to another account, nor to use it to gift items to another account. Also any content that was bought/downloaded via your account will remain tied to your account, so your account will need to be authorised on the computer that he will be syncing to, and only your account will be able to re-download that content and/or download updates to those apps.

  • How should I open a new iTunes account for my daughter?

    My daughter (& her laptop) is currently authorized on my iTunes account.  I want to buy her Lion OS for Christmas so her laptop & iPhone are backed up on iCloud.
    Do I de-authorize her laptop on my account & then sign her up for a new iTunes account in her name and then update her laptop to Lion?

    If you remove the authorization then she will not have access to the previous purchased content. You can leave her auhtorized and have her make all new purchases with her account. She should then have access to all the content. She could also authorize your computer so you have access to her content.
    Her account and your account have nothing to do with Lion except she will have more options available to her.

  • How can i transfer my music from iphone to itune. currently itune wouldnt allow this as i have also used my ipad? the message i get it says: the iphone is synced with another itunes library. do you want to erasethis iphone and sync with this itune?

    an iphone can be synced with one itune library at one time. erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iphone with the contents of this itune library!!
    apple..... ypu sale these gadgets which i love but I dont want to earse the music on my iphone i would like to save them into my library, how can i do this? most of the music i have bought and i dont want to loose any of it!!!
    Please someone help me.

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your other library/computer, or your backup copy, to your new library/computer

  • How can i transfer my ipod to my new itunes without losing all music

    my computer crashed and now all i have is my cousins and i need to know how to convert my music onto her new itunes, hopefully without losing all my music. if thats possible, so there is no way i can go back to my old itunes, her computer is the only itunes i will be able to use. how can i transferr my ipod touch to her computer without losing all data???

    Welcome to the discussion,
    Create a new user in windows to keep your iTunes library separate and log in. Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

My old computer crashed andI bought a new one, put iTunes on it and kept it updated. The problem is I forgot to keep the iTunes on my ecternal hatd drive updated. I tried to open the external hard drive iTunes but received a error with something to the effect that there was a newwerversion of iTune. I was hoping to either put the external Itunes music on my device. How can I go about that now?

However i have obviously put my mac book in a different apple id as i know pay for things i download myself, how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?  ive now put my iphone into my new apple id thinking this might help? ive also tried clicking 'manually manage music and video' but this doesnt seem to work, it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.
