    I have an old apple id which is linked to a gmail account.  I have made many purchases from it.  I would like to make a new account, how can i transfer the purchases from the old account to the new one?
    Thanks

    This is not possible... Anything Obtained with a Particular ID is tied to that ID...

    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.

  • How to transfer or share music from one iTunes iPhone to another iPhone with a different Apple ID?

    When my son was younger he would get the music he wanted under my Apple ID on his iPod. Now he's older and has his own Apple ID. He still wants his music we paid for, which is tied to my Apple ID. Is there anyway to share or just transfer from one Apple ID to another on the device? I've read about sharing and authorizing on computers, but we don't have another computer to set up. Thank you all in advance!

    You can't transfer music (nor any other content) from one account to another account, it will remain tied to the account that downloaded it. Also home sharing only works from a computer to a device (or to another computer), it doesn't work between iOS devices.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be redownloaded in all countries) then he could potentially log into your account on his iPod (I assume that it's an iPod Touch) and redownload his music on it, but that might tie his iPod to your account for 90 days : iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID.

  • How do I copy iTunes purchases from one iTunes library to another stored on the same computer but with different apple ID's?

    I recently set up a new iTunes account for my son by giving him his own Apple ID & own login on the Mac we own.
    In addition I have an existing iTunes account with a different Apple ID & different login on the same Mac.
    We would like to share some purchases but do not know how to copy or import certain files. The summary is two
    different apple ID's, different iTunes libraries, on the same computer, but different parts of the hard drive.
    Please advise. Thanks.

    Load the library which doesn't contain the songs and drag them into the open iTunes application window. If you need to move them between different computer user accounts, put them into /Users/Shared/.

  • How can I transfer my purchases from one Apple ID to another?

    I would like to consolidate all my wife's and my purchases into one existing Apple ID on our computer so we can share apps, music, books, etc.
    I spoke with your Support Team who said this was possible if completing a particular form and requesting this formally with specific accounts and list of desired transfered purchases.
    Do anyone know where this form is and has anyone been successful in doing it?

    How about transferring total ownership of apple id?

  • How do I transfer "date added" from one iTunes library to another?

    I recently transfered my iTunes library from one Mac to another w/ no problem, however all of the dates in the date added column show the date of the library transfer and not the original date the music was imported into iTunes. Is there any way to retrieve or preserve the original dates? I know, not a "real' problem, but a concern for me nonetheless.
    Thanks to anyone who can help.

  • How do I download previous purchases from the itunes store to my i tunes account speciffically Audiobooks more than 1 year old? They don't show up in my purchase history.

    I have been trying to download previously purchased Audiobooks from the itunes store to my new computer and ipad. I tried calling the apple help line but they want me to spend $69.99 for the help plan. these purchases are over a year old and on my old ipod now i want them on my new devices. I am starting to get very irritated!!  please help.

    Are you running the most current version of iTunes? If you are, you should be able to go into the iTunes Store, and click on Purchased under the Quick Links. (You have to be signed on, and the computer has to be authorized to do this). Once you have selected the Purchased from the Quick Links, you should see a tab for Books - your audiobooks should show up there and be available for downloading.
    This is all assuming that you sync'd those books to the iTunes library on your computer. If you have not, you will need to sync the iPod first....

  • How do I transfer music purchases from one apple id to another

    I purchased music from Itunes years ago with an old apple id and old email address.  I am trying to play that music in my Itunes on my Dell Win7 laptop that uses a new apple id, and though the computer is authorized, it is authorized under the new apple id.  When I try to play the music, a box with the old apple id comes up, asking for a password.  I click 'Forgot' and am taken to a new screen that asks for my date of birth.  I enter it, and I get a big red message that this does not match there records.
    I know the old apple id, but not the password, and the email address that was used for that apple id is no longer a valid email address for me.  The FAQ indicate that I should be able to authorize the music for multiple apple id's, but it does not say 'how'.
    I tried changing the apple id and password to the new one when I tried to play the music, and nothing happened.  I can play the music that I added to itunes from cd's but not the purchased music.
    I don't think this matters, but just in case it does:  I have a new iphone 6 that is authorized for my new apple id, but my issue right now is authorizing music on my laptop.  I'll tackle syncing the iphone with itunes on my laptop next.

    You can’t. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

  • How do I copy songs from one itunes library to another itunes library on the same computer?

    I want to share some songs in my iTunes library with my granddaughter's iTunes library, both of which are located on the same computer.  I managed to copy one of the songs through Finder to the location where the music resides, but it doesn't appear when I access her iTunes.  Can someone tell me an easy way to copy only certain songs from one iTunes library to another iTunes library on the same computer?

    Don't agree. I have two accounts, one for work which I set up years ago and bought a few tracks. I've recently bought iPhone and iPad and created a home ID and wanted to transfer the old purchaces. Everyone says it can't be done, but I've done it.
    1. on the iPhone/iPad change your "store" Apple ID to the one you want ot transfer from.
    2. go into iTune on the device and download the purchaces.
    3. on you PC/Mac change the iTunes login to the same as the device's ID
    4. sync your device
    5. change both ID's back and the purchaces stay on both iTunes and your device.
    Delmar,
    The procedure you describe is putting content from two different IDs into a single library, which can readily be done.
    However, each item of purchased content will still be tied to the ID from which it was originally purchased, and they will be treated separately for purposes of Cloud, Match, Purchase History, etc.

  • My pc crashed and erased my itunes songs purchased from the itunes store. How do i get that content back without having to purchase them again?

    my pc crashed and erased my itunes songs purchased from the itunes store. How do i get that content back without having to purchase them again?

    I have somewhat of a similar problem. After iTunes last update, I am missing some of my purchased files of music,ringtones, and TV shows. Possibly movies, but just thought of that and did not look yet. Seems everytime there is an iTunes update, something happens, but usually an easy fix by just deleting music files from CD's that I loaded onto iTunes and no longer recognized after an update and reload from the hard drive. This time I do not have a current back up of all the music, ringtones, and tv shows I have purchased.
    So I am also wondering how can I redownload purchases without being charged when there is no file left on the hard drive. It just stays listed in iTunes though.

    Can I transfer purchases from one itunes account to another, if so how

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
    Answering quickly, though, if you mean you want to transfer a purchase from one iTunes Store account to another, you cannot.
