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?

  • How to transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another?

    Hey guys,
    I'm planning on creating a new Apple ID due to an email address change, but am worried that doing so will prevent me from reinstalling any purchases I have made with my old Apple ID.
    Does anyone know a way to transfer my purchases from one Apple ID to another permanently?
    Thanks in advance for any advice,
    Dan

    It is not possible to merge two iTunes accounts.
    Do yourself a favor, do not create a new iTunes account, simply update the account information for the one you already have.

  • 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.

  • How to transfer purchase from one iTunes account to another

    For a while I've been buying content through my mom's iTunes account, and just recently set up my own account. However I purchased a season of "Game of Thrones" while I was still using her account, and can only access the season through iCloud if I'm on her account. I was wondering if there was a way to still keep the purchase I made but switching it under another account (without having to buy it on the new account). The file of the purchase is on the same computer and will remain on the same computer, but just a different iTunes/iCloud user.

    Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll switch it. They probably won't.

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

    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.
    Regards.

    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.
    It is possible to transfer itunes music from one account to another!
    No it is not!

    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.

  • 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?

  • HT2731 Can I transfer purchases from one itunes account to another?

    Been using one itunes account for the whole family. Getting to tangled so we're separating and everybody is getting their own itunes account, but we'd like to transfer our purchases from the main account to our individual accounts. Daughter is keeping all of her itunes song purchases, I'd like to take some of my apps, and my wife would like to do the same thing. Can we do this and transfer ownership?

    No.
    Sorry.

  • How to transfer music from one itunes account to another on the same computer

    How do I transfer iTunes music to another comp account on the same comp. I have Windows 7 and I made my own Windows account. all of my music is on the iTunes on the other admin. account. So how do i transfer all of my stuff on iTunes to my own account? I've tried going into Preferences then advance but that's not doing anything. I signed into my account on iTunes but that didn't seem to help. Please give me something simple and not too long. I'm trying to do this as quick as possible lol. thanks in advance!
    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.

  • Can I transfer purchases from one apple id to another?

    I have been using my apple id for both mine and my daughter's purchases, but now I want to separate hers into her own apple id. Can I transfer purchases?

    No, that's not possible unless Apple is willing to assist. You would need to open iTunes and click on the Accounts link under Quick Links then contact Apple about your question. Also see,
