How do I transfer purchased apps from one Apple ID account to another?

I noticed I was purchasing apps on my iphone using a different Apple ID.  Both use the same email address. 
Here is what I want to do:
1. Which account is older?  I don't remember which Apple ID I registered when I purchased my iPhone.  How can I find this out?
2. I only want to keep one Apple ID.  How do I get rid of the other one?
3. Before I "delete" the Apple ID, how do I transfer the contents (apps, songs)?  Do I transfer this to the other account?  Should I transfer this to a computer?  Do I download them to iTunes, and if so, under which account would be downloading them to?   I have heard you can burn songs onto a disc.  Can I also do this for apps? 
Thanks again!

1)  not sure.
2 ) You don't.  you can stop using it, but everything purchased with it, will still be tied to it, and your computers will need to be authorized to that account.
3)  "Before I "delete" the Apple ID, how do I transfer the contents (apps, songs)"  Transfer them from where to where?
" Do I transfer this to the other account?"
You cannot.
" Do I download them to iTunes, and if so, under which account would be downloading them to?"
Download them to itunes from where?  and you cannot download them to another account.  They will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
"  I have heard you can burn songs onto a disc.  Can I also do this for apps? "
You can back them up to a cd and transfer them between computers.
What are you trying to accomplish?

    Apps purchased by an Apple ID are forever associated with that ID.    Purchases can't be transfers to another Apple ID.

  • How do I transfer purchased apps from one mac to the other?

    When i want to sync my iPhone in iTunes on my new computer I will lose all of the apps that I purchased.
    Can someone tell me how to sync it in a way (or some other solution) so I can keep my purchased apps? 
    I'm using the same ID as on old mac.
    I have been searching on the internet for help, but I can't find a clear answer.
    Thanks in advance.

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    btw, purchased apps can be redownloaded over and over free of charge ...

  • How can I transfer purchased apps from one iPad to another?

    Hi all,
    We just got a second iPad.  Previously our single iPad was registered under my Apple ID.  My wife downloaded lots of apps for the kids on our old iPad.  Now I want to associate the old iPad with my wife's Apple ID, but be able to keep all the kids apps on it that were previously purchased under my apple ID.  I don't really want any of the kids apps on the new iPad - especially since I will usually have it with me at work.  Is there any way to do this?
    Thanks.

    You can't associate purchased apps with another Apple ID. The apps are tied to the ID that was used to purchase them.
    If you sign in on the iPad with the ID that purchased the apps - then you can download them again using the ID that is associated with those purchases.

  • HT3819 How do you transfer purchased music from one apple id to another?

    I have a different Apple ID on my ipad than my macbook and macbook pro, I have most music on the macbooks but some on ipad how do I combine? This happend because when I was at the apple store buying my ipad I could not remember my other ID, so we made a new one. Fast forward to now, I have downloaded music on the ipad and want it on the macbooks also. How do I transfer the purchased music to the macbooks soi can change my ID on the ipad to gain access to all?

    Authorize your computer for both accounts, then transfer the purchases to the computer:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You cannot change the account, but you can put them in the same library.

  • Use and update purchased apps from one iTunes store account to another?

    I have two iTunes Store Accounts (Apple ID's) with the vast majority of purchases, music and apps, made on one account, but I've created a second account and wish to use it to sync with my iPhone.
    Will I be able to continue to use and update the apps on my iPhone purchased with the first account?
    Thanks.

    This sounds like the kinda thing Apple support might be able to help with. It's possible they might be able to merge the 2 accounts or switch user names around or something.
    Apps and Protected music files are locked to one account. I don't think there is any way you(personaly) can transfer and/or updated them on a different account.

  • How to transfer a book from one Apple ID account to another

    I want to transfer a book bought on my account over to my wife's Apple ID, not just share it. Can this be done?

    Add her to your family account, when she buys it it will indicate that you already own it and she can download it for free.

  • HT204053 How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

    How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

    Apple will not permit transfer of applications from one account to another. Suppose your mom has presented an iPad to you and before presenting she has downloaded some Apps with her account. If you want to update those Apps, you must know her pass word or send the iPad to her and request her to update and give back. If you feel it is time consuming and difficult, the best way is purchase new iPad and down load  the latest version of App. Whenever you come across you go on purchasing new iPad. This will help you to have latest version of iPad with you.

    If you plug in your ipod and/or iphone to your new machine, they should show up in the left column in itunes.

  • Transfer purchased apps from one iTUNES account to another

    I have purchased a few apps on an iTunes account, have set up a new account and bought apps on that. Can i transfer apps from one iTunes to another?

    The Solution is that you will need to keep account A active for as long as you have those Apps...
    Or you can Get Them Again using account B... But if they are Purchased Apps you will have to pay again...
    Free Apps are of course Free...
