How to back up phone with apps purchased with multiple iTunes accounts

It's a long story, but my iPhone has apps that were purchased through multiple iTunes account.
Is it possible to create a backup of my phone that accounts for all of these apps? Last time I tried backup in iTunes, it only backed up the apps purchased with that particular iTunes account, but not others.
Should something happen to my iPhone and I need to restore/clone my phone, I want all my apps -- regardless of whose iTunes account was used to purchase them -- to be restored.
Any quick and easy way for this?

The backup does not include any apps. It only includes the list and arrangement of apps; which are then reloaded when you sync after restoring.

Hello andrewmarkp,
With Family Sharing, you can approve purchases with the Ask To Buy feature. The following article provides helpful information:
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
Approving purchases with Ask to Buy
You can turn on Ask to Buy to require approval for purchases initiated by any family member who is under 18 years old.*
iOS 8
Tap Settings > iCloud > Family, and tap your family member's name.
Turn on Ask to Buy.
OS X Yosemite
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
Click Manage Family and select your family member's name.
Select Ask to Buy.
Ask to Buy is enabled by default for any children under 13 years old, and can be enabled during the setup process for any children 13-17 years old.* You can't turn on Ask to Buy for adults.
If you don't wish to be billed for purchases initiated by a specific adult family member, you can remove that family member from the family group.
*Ages may vary by country or region.
Family Sharing requires a personal Apple ID signed in to iCloud and iTunes. Music, movies, TV shows, and books can be downloaded on up to 10 devices per account, five of which can be computers. iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality. Not all content is eligible for Family Sharing. Content can be hidden by family members; hidden content is not available for download. Content downloaded from family members or acquired via redemption codes is not subject to Ask to Buy.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

How do I pay for ipad app purchase with iTunes card

I Am using an ipad. I went to the App Store and downloaded a free game. However it has other features you can pay for. I want those. How do I pay for it with an iTunes card? Only option it gives me is credit card

You need to add your iTunes gift card as your method of payment for your Apple ID. Once you do that the amount for things you purchase will be deducted from the gift card.

Backing up iPad apps purchased with two accounts?

For a recent sync, I "transferred purchases" from my iPad to iTunes and subsequently synced it to my iMac with my personal AppleID. Before syncing, my iPad had apps purchased with two separate AppleIDs on it.
Upon doing a restore for the iOS5 upgrade, the apps purchase on the other AppleID account don't show up on my iPad.
Where are the apps now and how can I get them, and their data, back?!? I know I can log into the other AppleID on my iPad and redownload the lost apps from the App Store. However, I need the DATA from the apps (note taking apps and such). How do I get that data back?
If this isn't an option, this is a major fault of Apple's account design.
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions~

Hello J_DougBC,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I found an article that addresses Apple IDs that are different than the Primary Email Address on the account. You will need to go to https://appleid.apple.com/ to "Make your Apple ID and email address one and the same."
If your Apple ID and primary email address do not match, or they match but the email address is unverified, you can edit them.
1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
2. If you want to add and verify an email address that matches your Apple ID, follow the dialog box that says "Make your Apple ID and email address one and the same." This will automatically unverify that email address from any other Apple ID for which it was previously verified.
3. If you want to change your email address to one that does not match your Apple ID, click Edit next to your Primary Email Address. If this email address is already associated with another Apple ID, you will need to sign in with that Apple ID and delete it before you can add it to your preferred Apple ID.
Note: If you have an @me.com or @mac.com Apple ID and primary email address, you cannot edit your primary email address once it has been verified. To change your @me.com or @mac.com primary email address to another email address, contact Apple Support for assistance.

I hope this helps get you back on track!

I downloaded apps purchased with another Apple ID. But my data is missing. What can I do to get them back? I have a different iCloud id.

All apps are tied forever to the Apple ID used to obtain them, that is also true with In-App purchases.
Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

I just upgraded to the new 4, but not sure how to make sure all my apps (purchases) get over to the new phone from iphone 3. can't seem to find instructions. thanks.

How do you make in app purchase with store credit

how do you make in app purchase with store credit

It's automatic, as long as your balance covers the price of the item (including any applicable taxes e.g. state sales tax if you are in the US) then only your account's balance will be charged (if it doesn't cover it then any remainder will be charged to your credit card).

How to access an old account to update apps purchased with that account?

I cannot update purchased apps in iphone/itunes because I cannot enter the password for the old account. It does not exist anymore anyway.

Restore from your backup of old computer.
You can redownload past purchases.

Any way to re-get apps purchased with iphone but NOT synched with computer?

My iPhone had been having issues synching so one of the Tech guys decided that the best way to solve it was by upgrading to OS4 and seeing if that fixed the problem. Unfortunately they didn't do a full backup (apparently it kept aborting part way thru) and I had apps that hadn't been synched to my iTunes account on the computer. Does anyone know of any way for me to get those apps back without buying them again? I was thinking that their might be a record of their purchase in my iTunes account since I had to have accessed it, even though it was thru the phone, to buy them in the first place, but I don't see it. I also don't know if I can just contact someone in tech support at apple about fixing it because I didn't see a logical way to contact them about the issue.

Well, you missed several chances, so now all that's left is to redownload them individually. At least you can do that without paying for them again. You can't do that with music.
You apparently didn't back up your iTunes library, in spite of regular reminders from iTunes when you make purchases. AND you don't have an external drive with Time Machine, which would have backed up your computer (including iTunes) automatically.
Before syncing you could have copied your apps from your iPhone to iTunes, as described in the manual, but apparently you didn't.
It's also not clear how iTunes "lost" your apps, unless you had a hard drive failure. This just doesn't happen, unless you have done something to your iTunes folders or had a hardware failure. I would suggest tracking down how iTunes lost your apps before you go any further; you may have a much bigger problem with your computer.

How do I "transfer app purchases to [my] itunes library" on a Windows machine?

I'm on Windows 8.1 and using iTunes 11.1.5.
I was just going to update my phone from iTunes and I got a messege saying, "There are apps on this phone that aren't in your iTunes library. You should transfer all app purchases to your iTunes library before continuing." I decided to just download without updating, but now I'm wondering, how do I transfer app purchases to my computer?
Supposedly (according to mac users who I've seen post this in this community) they get a dialog when they plug their phone in asking them if they want to transfer their app purchases or if they want to synch their phone. I only get the option to synch my phone. So, how can I transfer my app purchases into my iTunes library? (I know how to back the phone up, I don't think that's the same thing).
Thanks!

Hello iTouch questions,
This can be done by choosing the File menu in iTunes (if it doesn't appear, you may need to hit the 'Alt' button on your keyboard, it will appear at the top of the window), then Devices, then Transfer Purchases.
After connecting your device to the computer and its icon appears in iTunes, go to the File menu, then Devices, and choose Transfer Purchases from "(Your device name)".
