How do I transfer my iTunes purchases from my old Apple ID to my new one

I have updated my e mail from gmail to icloud, and have changed login etc on everything connected with gmail. I updated my e mail address in my apple iD account on apple.com,i tunes, etc. I am trying to transfer all of my i tune purchases made with my g mail ID to my i cloud ID and just can not figure out how to do it. Any help would be great.

You can change your e-mail contact address in your account settings for an AppleID.  You cannot merge or transfer content from one AppleID to another.  You really, really only want to have one Apple ID and just upddate the contact information.

  • How do I transfer back up data from my old time capsule to my new one easily.

    How do I transfer back up data from my old time capsule to my new one easily.

    Before you do this, do you really need all of the old backups that go back many weeks and months?  Most us only ever need to go back a week or two to pick up a file that was accidentally deleted, but that's about it.
    Sure, It is tough to think about deleting all the old backups, so a suggestion would be to keep the old Time Capsule around for a month or two....just in case....but start new backups on the new Time Capsule.  Once you have a month or two of backup history on the new Time Capsule, then you might decide to erase the old Time Capsule and sell it....or just keep it around as a spare hard drive.
    I've tranferred backups a few times in the past, and used up a lot of space on the "new" Time Capsule to do it, and have found that it is far more trouble than it is worth.
    But, you may disagree.

  • 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!

  • Can I transfer purchases from my old apple ID to my new one?

    Hi all,
    I used to live in the US and now moved back to Europe. Therefore I have 2 Apple ID's. One synced to the American iTunes store and one to the German one. Now, I am forced to use the German ID and store since I am in Germany.
    All I want to do, is to be able to access and download everything I have purchased on the American Apple ID (which is a lot after living in the states for 5 years) and merge it with the stuff I purchased on the German ID or just download it to my computer. My computer recently crashed and I lost all my data so I would like to re-download my old purchases.
    An additional problem is also that even though I kept my American bank account I changed the billing address to my current one in Germany. Therefore itunes won't let me purchase anything with my American apple ID because the billing address isn't American anymore.
    If anyone knows how I can get my old purchases back, please let me know.
    Thanks!

    It is not possible to transfer purchases from one Apple ID or regional store to another. However you should still be able to download your past purchases simply by logging into the appropriate store and clicking "purchased" under the Quick Links section on the right-hand side of the store. Be sure and authorize the computer for both accounts.
    Keep in mind that any apps purchased with each Apple ID can only be updated from that store; you will not be able to switch back and forth between the stores, either. There is a 90 days waiting period between logins. So factor that into your downloading.
    I also strongly suggest you purchase a d external HDD and start using time machine to back up your personal data. If you had been backing up you would not need to re-download anything. I recommend an external HDD that is at least 3 times the size of the MBP's HDD.

  • I was wondering if it was possible for me to transfer a TV show from my old apple ID to my new one. Does apple allow this transaction to take place?

    My old ID has this TV show I wanted to watch. But I wanted to transfer the show from that id to my new one which has most of my apps, music, and books. Does anyone have any advice for me?

    You cannot.
    Authorize your computer for both accounts.

  • I bought a new iMac, and i have CC on my old iMac and my laptop. since i'm only authorized to use 2 computers, how do i transfer the license off of my old cdesktop ompuetr to my new one

    how do i transfer a cc license from my old desktop iMac to my new one? i use cc on my laptop as well

    Hi Rose,
    You just have to run one of the CC applications on your old iMac and do a "sign out" (on windows this is in the e.g. Photoshop "Help" menu, can't remember for Mac)...which warns you that you can't use CC apps on that computer anymore.
    Then install CC on your new iMac and log in to it. You will then have to use the CC app to install photoshop etc on your new iMac.

    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.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my MacBook Pro?

    How do I transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my MacBook Pro?

    Just copy the entire Music folder from the old Mac to the new Mac, then click on the folder and Get Info and change the permisisons and click the spoke to "apply to enclosed items"
    Ideally it's best to use the same user name on the new machine, this way all your iTunes playlists work and there is no need to change permissions.
    You can create the same named user by creating another account in System Preferences >accounts
    If the old computer is a PC then just copy the old Music folder to the Mac onto the desktop, then use iTunes to import the music files.
    If the old comptuer is dead, then you can extract the hard drive(if it's still working) and use a IDE/SATA to USB adapter cable to access the internal drive.
    Mac's should be able to read NTFS format of PC's, just not write to it. But if it's not working there is software to install to allow the Mac to read that NTFS drive format, just search online.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library from an old, slow pc laptop to a newer faster pc laptop? Do I have to take a copy of my iTunes library on the hard drive of the old(er) pc laptop and load it onto the hard drive of my new(er) pc laptop?

    How do I transfer my iTunes library from an old, slow pc laptop to a new(er), faster pc laptop? Do I have to make a copy of the iTunes library on the old pc laptop and re-install it on the new(er) pc laptop? Is it something that can de done using the actual iPod itself?

    This is the method I would normally recommend:
    Backup with this User Tip, restore the library to the new computer using the same tool, keep the backup up-to-date in future. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer need to access protected content on it.
    You can use your iPod classic to move your library to a new computer but if you don't already have a backup copy of the library (and your other important data) now is the time to think about it.
