How to transfer music from one apple account to another

So, for some reason I couldn't get into my Apple account to sync my new ipod 5 and get my music on it, so I was going to transfer my music to a new account that I had just made. I was still logged in on my friends desktop, so I synced it and got almost all of my old music. So for the past 2 hours, I've been trying to get my music onto my laptop. I've tried copy and paste, moving it to a usb, clicking and dragging to the desktop, clicking and dragging to drop into the device, but I've got nothing. What do I do?!?! Please Help!!! D:

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.

The apple account music you want to transfer >> go to itunes store and log into the apple account that you want music to be put on your ltunes library...sign in then after you sign in then look down on right hand side for the word "Purchased" and those are the accounts songs and you can download them for free.
Note that this does not change the iTunes account of these songs. This simply adds them to the iTunes library you are using.
Also note than once you do this, you will have to wait 90 days to redownload any iTunes purchases from any other iTunes account, including the original iTunes account.

Transfer music from one Apple account to another

Is it possible to transfer purchased songs from one Apple account to another? I have some music on my account that I have downloaded for someone who did not have an account. Now, they have an account, and I want to transfer their music to their account. I don't desire access to these songs anymore.

Thanks. He is a bit too young for a credit card, but the gift card would have been a good idea. Unfortunately, what's done is done. Thanks for your reply.

How to transfer music from one apple id to another?

I received an iPad and set it up using a new apple id. Can I still access my music from my computer using my old apple id and put the music on my iPad?

You can not transfer music (or anything else, for that matter) from one Apple ID to another. However, the iTunes library doesn't care which ID was used for the purchase. All music, apps, movies, etc. from multiple IDs can reside on the same library in the same iTunes.
Before I continue, I need a bit more information. You referred to your mom's ID and your dad's ID. Do you also have your own ID? Which music and apps, etc. is actually on the iPod? Which music and apps, etc. is actually in the iTunes library?

I'm running the lastest iTunes. I just upgraded it today.

Move the music files or the entire iTunes library to a shared folder.
If you moved individual files, open iTunes from the desired account and drag them to the library in the iTunes application window.
If you moved the entire library, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose that instance of it.

How to transfer purchases from one Apple account to another?

I've used my family's apple id for years, I've probably put $1000 into apps and music, but I'm finally moving out. My mom doesn't want me accessing her email so she's making me get my own id. I don't want to lose all the apps and games and data I have saved, so is there any way to transfer all those purchases to my account?

You will not be able to Transfer anything from your family's Apple ID to your New Apple ID.
Anything Purchased / Downloaded using the family Apple ID remains Tied to that Apple ID.

HT1711 can u transfer music from one itunes account to another if belonging to the same household

Can you transfer music from one itunes account to another if in the same household ??

You can give the person a copy of the song files, which they can then add to their iTunes library.

HT1386 Can I move music from one apple account to another?

Can I move music from one apple account to another?

Typically not. Consider the case where you used an Apple account (call it A1) to purchase songs from iTunes. Now you are interested in moving your music to account A2. Well A2 does not own the music - A1 does. So that's a problem.

How do I transfer music from one Apple ID to another on an iTouch?

My mom bought some songs with her Apple ID that I want to transfer to my own iTunes library. I've done this before because I got a bunch of music from my dad's Apple ID that I had bought when I was sharing with him, but now I can't figure out how to do it again. I have the iCloud, so should I just delete my iCloud account from my iTouch and log in as her to get the music, then delete hers and log back into mine?

Transfer music from one user account to another on the SAME mac?

My family (wife, son, daughter, and me) share an imac but we all have our own user accounts. Our entire itunes music library is in one user account and is getting to the point of being unmanageable.
Can I move some of my itunes library (e.g., my son's music) to another user account on the same iMac? Some songs were imported from CD and others were purchased from my Apple ID number.
It's my understanding that an ipod can only be synced with one itunes library at a time, but I thought Apple also restricted the usage of music bought from itunes to a finite number of computers. If this is true, I think I would be able to transfer a group of songs from one user account to another so long as the user accounts were on the same computer.
I was told that I could just drag the songs into a shared folder and then log into his account and drop them in iTunes.
Some specific questions:
1) Can I move all music files (CD and purchased) to the shared folder for dropping into his account?
2)The purchased ones were purchased under MY apple ID which I do not want to give him access to. Should I create one for him or just have him use mine and wait for my password. I would like to put an allowance on his new ID number and keep it separate from mine. Would that make a difference in the future if I wanted to use one of his songs on my iPod or in an iMovie project?
I just reinstalled my Lepoard OS X and put all my data back. I did not deauthorize anything before I did this. Did I need to? Or is even a clean install on the SAME machine ok and seen as the same authorization?
Thanks in advance!!

You can give him copies of song files, either by using a shared folder, or by putting the copies on a USB flash drive from which he can copy them to his own iTunes library.
Any DRM-protected tracks that you have purchased from Apple can only be played if the user has authorization to the account(s) from which the tracks were purchased. Authorization requires physical access to the computer and knowledge of the password, and you can figure it from there!

Can I transfer music from one apple id to another?

I have always used my sisters iTunes when buying music and apps as I never really needed my own and well it was cheaper buying it into one account than do it separately. However now I am off to uni, I would like my own apple ID for my new mac and hopefully iPhone. We obviously need separate accounts now but I still want the music that's on hers. Is there anything you can do to transfer music from one account to another so they both have the same?

Not without buying the content again.
