If i create a new iTunes account can i transfer all 144 of my apps

Hi Guys
Im currently sharing an account & have been for some time. but recently we have been having a slight problem with it all.
My apps are downloading on to his computer & his on mine.
I have decided to create my own itunes account but from what i here i will have to buy all my apps again, which seems silly.
Is there anything that i can do about this?
Can i even change the email on the current account & the payment deatils so i can claim it? seeing as i have the most apps this would seem the option but then is it even possible?
thanks
Harry

I know this is an old post, but I'm in a similar situation. I'm going to college this fall and I would like to have my own account going into my future.  I'm under my mom's account because that is how I first started out with my ipod a few years ago.  I don't want to be under my mom's account forever so this is a reason I want a new account while still keeping all the songs I've bought over the years.

  • If I make a new iTunes account, can I transfer my music and apps to it?

    Okay so about 2 years ago, I went to my friend's house so that she could put music on my iPod and ever since then I've had an iTunes account through them (using their apple id to have a playlist, get apps, etc.) but recently I had tried to get a new app and when I entered the password for their account, it said that it was an incorrect password. I tried the password multiple times to see if I maybe typed it wrong but still there was no luck so my guess is that they changed the password forgetting that I was using the account, too.
    So basically I just made this iTunes account to ask this question and I'm onderin if I reconnect my iPod with this account will I be able to transfer my music? (If this helps, I have the iPod touch 4th generation)

    I'm not using their money like I don't have any of their songs or apps. Everything that I have I downloaded it myself. The apps are no problem if they can't be transferred because they're all free ones I just want to know if there's a way to sync the songs on my iPod that I physically downloaded myself to my new iTunes account.

    No. Gift card money can't be transferred to another iTunes Store account or used to buy gifts.

  • When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?

    Yes. I would clarify your statement about the "shared" iTunes Library though. If you want each iOS device to have its own music library, you should create separate user accounts for them. Read:

  • I had my Itunes account disabled due to fraud, if i create a new itunes account how can i switch purchases and apps to the new ID?

    i had my Itunes account disabled due to fraud, if i create a new itunes account how can i switch purchases and apps to the new ID?

    Hi ...
    Just be cause the account was disabled (Apple ID) doesn't mean you can't reset the password and have access to your iTunes purchases.
    Use the iforgot link to reset your password > Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
    If you have problems resetting, use the email form here >   Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us

  • I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked, so that when I delete a song from one library it deletes from the other one. 
    On the online tutorials I've seen it shows that when you create a new iTunes library it should open as a blank account, but that isn't happening.
    What am I doing wrong?

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    If necessary:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • How do I create a new iTunes account while keeping my old account?

    I have an iTunes account with an Email address that I can no longer access. I have forgotten my password. Apple will not allow me to change my Email address so I cannot change my existing account at this time. I have purchased a lot of music and I do not want to delete the music.  I hope that someday in the far far future, Apple's policy will change and I can reclaim the music that I purchased.
    Anyway, I want to create a new iTunes account without deleting my old account. Is this possible?
    Thanks!

    Howdy! I have tried to change my Email address with Apple. Since I cannot access my old Email address, they will not let me change my password. Since I cannot recall my old password, they will not allow me to change my Email address. I am in a true Catch 22.

  • I just forget the birthday what I create a new iTunes account. How I get it back? Thank you

    I forget the birthday what I have typed when create a new iTunes account. Now I just want to know where I can find it

    If you can't remember your birthday then log into the account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, select the Password And Security section and answer the two security questions that show - you should then get a screen where you can see and/or change when you were born

  • I want to create a new itunes account but keep the content.  Is this possible?

    My family has always used one Itunes account for all devices.  Now it is necessary for us to create a new itunes account.  We want to keep the apps, music etc that we each have now.  How can I do this?  Is this even possible?

    I hope this isn't too wordy but I want to be as clear and explicit as I can for you.
    You can't transfer purchases from one account to another account. Apple doesn't allow it.
    You can continue to use your daughter's Apple ID in order to continue to use the apps that you purchased with her ID and you will need to use her ID and password any time that you want to update those apps. What you do want to avoid is having to download any of those purchased apps again on any other devices - if you create a new Apple ID.
    If you create a new ID and then you sign into her ID in order to download a previous purchase-  you will lock yourself out of the new ID for 90 days and there is nothing that you can do about it. So as long as you do NOT download any past purchases with her ID - you will not lock yourself out of the new ID. So you can keep using the apps that were bought with her ID, you can also update those apps using her ID (you have to sign into her account in Settings>Store) but you can't download past purchases without messing things up with your new ID.
    When you download a past purchase with a different ID - you associate that device with the different ID for 90 days. This is one way that Apple hopes to cut down on pirating of apps - friends using other friends IDs in order to download apps without patting for them.
    This explains it in a little more detail.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
    The bottom line is that you can create a new ID, still use her ID - judiciously - but you really want to avoid downloading past purchases with her ID. Transfer all of those purchases into iTunes so that if something happens and you need the purchased content again, you can just sync it again rather than downloading it.
    This explains transferring purchases.

  • Will all my apps delete if i create a new itunes account on my iphone 4???

    If i create a new itunes account not on the computer but directly on my iphone- that is log out my itunes account on my iphone and create new one and use that new account to download an app will the rest of my apps delete before i even sync it to my computer? If later i sync it to my computer then will it delete.
    Also it would be helpful if you could name some things to avoid all my apps being deleted.

    I have three different accounts and at some time or another have bought apps with them all. If there is an update the Iphone automatically asks me to login with the appropriate credentials to update. They all live happily on Itunes and I can log in and out on Itunes as well with no ill effects.

  • If I create a new itunes account?

    If I create a new itunes account will it erase my existing information such as my purchased music history?
    This is a problem my father is having,
    When he started his itunes account a few years ago he made up an email account to initiate the account and all had worked well until now that he wants to sync his actual email account to Mail from his computer.
    He wants to create another account, now doing so will it erase all purchased history? Or is there a way to sync?

    Syncing an email account to the Mail app on a device shouldn't require you to create a new iTunes account. Is he having a problem adding the email account in the Mail app ? You should be able to add an email account to Mail without it needing to be linked to any iTunes account.
    All content that is downloaded from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it. If he wants to now have a proper email address on his iTunes account (which would allow him to get email receipts for any downloads from the store, and if needed password reset emails) then he can update the account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on his device, tap 'view Apple id' on the popup, and he should be able to then tap on the current email address on the account's page and change it. Or he can do it on a computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and at the top of his account's screen there should be an edit link to the right of the current email address. He can also do it via http://appleid.apple.com
    If he does change it then he may need to log out of the account on any iOS devices he has (tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store), and possibly on computer's iTunes (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them
