Is it possible for me to transfer the purchases from my old itunes account to my new one? I would like to keep all of my music, movies, tv shows etc.

I just created a new Apple ID that is different from my old one. Is it possible for me to transfer the purchases from my old account to my new one? I would like to keep all of my music, movies, tv shows etc.

It doesn't matter what your AppleID is - you can just change the email address associated with it at http://appleid.apple.com/ as mentioned numerous times above.
Okay, my former Apple ID = my former email address and the latter is dead because I moved out of the geographic area.
If you just updated the email address associated with your AppleID you wouldn't have to sign in twice.
I guess Apple Inc is wrong because that is EXACTLY what they stated when I called yesterday afternoon.  SIGN IN TWICE when I activate Apple TV and want to watch/listen to my legitimate purchases when my iMac is OFF.
Your only problem is the fact you didn't safely store the password to your account and subsequently forgot it.
Wrong ... my only PROBLEM, SIR, is that my bride, my wife of over 51 years died in my arms at 4:16 AM on December 27, 2012.  As a direct result, I decided to get the **** out of the city where my Nancy and I lived for **** near 20 years.
On the outside chance it is of interest to you, she is buried at Arlington National Cemetery, Section 66, based on my faithful military service during 1961 -> 1981 ... including Vietnam during 1967.

Part of this PROBLEM, SIR, is that Apple Inc refuses to merge my old purchases with my new one.
SHAME ON YOU!!!

  • HT1918 how do I transfer purchases from an old itunes account to a new one?

    I recently bought a new Macbook and just transfered my iTunes library from my old one by using an external hard drive.  It turns out that a lot of my music was bought through an old itunes account and I can't remember the password for that account so as to authorize my new computer.  I have since started a new account and want to know if there's a way I can move what I purchased through my old account into my current account.  Help! 

    Sorry, but you cannot transfer purchases from one iTunes Store account to another. You'll need to continue to use that old account ID for authorizations and re-downloads. If you can't remember the password, you should be able to reset it through this web page:

  • How do i share the purchases from my old itunes account, with my new itunes account and id?

    My wife and i are getting divorced and I, i have had an itunes account for a few years. We recently switched my credit card infor for hers before the divorce decision. Now I have adjusted the account to give her the original account and I have created a new second account with my credit card information. I need to know how to make the purchaces from the original account avaiable to the new account.

    Do you have your purchases on a backup drive ? If not then depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to redownload some/all of your iTunes purchases via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes - what you can redownload will depend upon what country that you are in (music, films, TV programmes can't be redownloaded in all ; audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads), and whether they are still in your country's store (rights-holders occasionally remove things).
    If you do redownload an account's past purchases then you may tie that computer to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - so you won't be able to use iTunes Match or automatic downloads or redownload past purchases from another account until the 90 days have completed.

  • Is there a way to transfer music I've purchased from my old Apple account to my new one?

    Hi everyone,
    Many moons ago, when the iPod came out I downloaded iTunes and setup an account using my then current e-mail address aka user ID for iTunes.  However, fast forward about 8 years later and that old e-mail address has long been forgotten.  I know the log in information but I haven't used the e-mail for communication purposes for about the last 3 years.  At the time I got myself a new e-mail address I just continued to download from the iTunes store using the same account with the old e-mail address because basically I was never really concerned with getting the receipts, weekly updates, etc. (I get enough e-mail as it is, lol). 
    This past summer my husband bought me an iPhone and set it up for me using my new/current e-mail address, different from the one I had purchased 100's of iTunes songs with over the past 8 years or so.  It seems as though while I can authorize iTunes for both of the accounts, and share the music on different computers, I can only transfer the ones I've downloaded with my new username/e-mail address from iTunes to my iPhone?!  What do I do about all of the 100's of purchases I made with my other account, are they now worth nothing as far as getting them on my iPhone which I use as my iPod nowadays?!
    I'm staring at my lucky bamboo as I type this because I get this feeling that I'm SOL .  I've tried "googling" my way to the answer but I haven't been able to find it.  And if it turns out I am, than shame on Apple.  It's ridiculous to presume that someone will keep the same e-mail address created as a kid which is typically a non-sense, flashy e-mail to adulthood when they tend to be a little more reserved and business friendly; there should be a way to transfer between user accounts if it's clear that that account and billing information is the same.
    Any help is appreicated.
    Thanks.

    Zion,
    This worked! ...about 50%, but I suppose that's better than nothing.  I went into iTunes on my old username and downloaded the 300+ songs to my library but then for some reason when I went to transfer them to my iPhone it would only transfer like 120 or so of them.  I'm not really sure why but I'll continue to work on it.  Thanks so much for the help.
    FYI - if anyone else reads this bc they have the same problem.  If you choose to go this route and download previous purchases from your old account you cannot auto download any content on your new(er) apple ID for 90 days after the purchase download.  Just something to keep in mind, but for me, it was totally worth it.  I have no qualms about manually transferring the songs to my iPhone for the next 3 months if it meant getting the rights to transfer all my old songs to my iPhone.
    Thanks again!

  • HT5312 How can I transfer money from an old iTunes account to my new one?

    I got a new iTunes account because the old one kept asking me for security questions. I don't remember them so I went to the support page and tried to reset them but it wouldn't let me click on boxes to put in my information. All I want is to get the money from my old account to my new. And I don't know what to do. Help?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    Getting the money transferred requires using the form, and that you still have the gift card it came from, and that none of that card's balance has been spent.

  • Is it possible for me to transfer my purchases from one Apple ID to another?

    Hello.  I currently have two Apple ID accounts.  I want to keep my iCloud account and just use that one as my Apple ID.  I want to delete one that I have linked to a diffrent email address.  Before I do this, I would like to know if I could transfer my purchases on the other ID to my iCloud Apple ID.  Or is this not possible?

    No.
    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.
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

    When I got a new iPad a week ago, I created a new Apple ID so that all of my other "stuff" wouldn't sync onto my new iPad filling it up! However, I do have an app that I paid for on my on my iPhone that I'd like to put on my iPad, how do I do that?

    Sync it to your iPad with iTunes.  First check the app store to be sure it is compatible with an iPad (not all iPhone apps are).  If it is, first confirm that the app is in your iTunes library by opening iTunes clicking on the apps folder, and checking if the app is there.  If it isn't, add it to your library by connecting your phone to iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Once it's in your library, connect your iPad, click on the name of your iPad in iTunes, go to the Apps tab of your iTunes sync settings, locate the app in question and click "Install" next to the app, then click on Apply at the bottom to sync your iPad.

  • Is it possible to transfer songs from a separate iTunes account into a new one?

    I have a lot of songs saved on my Dad's mac under his apple ID.  I'd like to transfer the songs I've purchased/imported on his computer onto mine.  Is this possible through possibly the iCloud?  I'd like to avoid having to burn them all to a disc or what have you.

    If the use the same Apple ID/iTunes account they can share the iTunes purchases.
    If the Rahapsody songs are regular, non-DRM/Copy protected the just import them into your iTunes library and then sync

  • I have two itunes accounts - one i had on my original pc and then one i created with my Mac. Is it possible to add the library from the old iTunes account to my new one

    I have two itunes accounts. One is an old one with a substnantial library attached and one is much newer which I created with my new Mac. Is it possible to merge the two libtaries into my new account?

    You can merge the two libraries but not the accounts. Each account is a separte entity.
    You are likely best to use the older account as that is where a bulk of the purchases are from. If the file is a unprotected purchase then it doesn't matter. If the content is DRM encoded then you will need to authorize your computer to both accounts as needed. All new music purchases are DRM free but video is still DRM encoded.
    There is no reason to create a new iTunes or Mac App Store account if you get a new computer.

  • Can I transfer purchases from my old apple ID to my new one?

    Hi all,
    I used to live in the US and now moved back to Europe. Therefore I have 2 Apple ID's. One synced to the American iTunes store and one to the German one. Now, I am forced to use the German ID and store since I am in Germany.
    All I want to do, is to be able to access and download everything I have purchased on the American Apple ID (which is a lot after living in the states for 5 years) and merge it with the stuff I purchased on the German ID or just download it to my computer. My computer recently crashed and I lost all my data so I would like to re-download my old purchases.
    An additional problem is also that even though I kept my American bank account I changed the billing address to my current one in Germany. Therefore itunes won't let me purchase anything with my American apple ID because the billing address isn't American anymore.
    If anyone knows how I can get my old purchases back, please let me know.
    Thanks!

    It is not possible to transfer purchases from one Apple ID or regional store to another. However you should still be able to download your past purchases simply by logging into the appropriate store and clicking "purchased" under the Quick Links section on the right-hand side of the store. Be sure and authorize the computer for both accounts.
    Keep in mind that any apps purchased with each Apple ID can only be updated from that store; you will not be able to switch back and forth between the stores, either. There is a 90 days waiting period between logins. So factor that into your downloading.
    I also strongly suggest you purchase a d external HDD and start using time machine to back up your personal data. If you had been backing up you would not need to re-download anything. I recommend an external HDD that is at least 3 times the size of the MBP's HDD.

  • How can I import all the backups from an old Time Capsule to a new one?

    Hi,
    My 2008 Time Capsule just crashed a week ago. Obviously it was out of warranty, and Apple just offered me a new 1TB TC for a reduced priced, and gave me the old internal disk in a plastic bag.
    I want to import the information from the old TC to my new TC. Is this possible? How can I do this?
    Thanks

    Your Apple service centre is very good.. they mostly refuse to help in any way.
    You need a USB to sata converter cable and power supply or a USB disk holder.. SATA type.. although that is pretty universal now.. they are only a few dollars from most large computer stores or ebay. Plug the usb drive into the computer and copy the contents over to the TC. using ethernet will help btw.. if you only have the air buy a USB to ethernet or Thunderbolt to ethernet (if you have the latest one).. they are available from apple at reasonable prices.
    Then  you can copy the sparsebundle across..

    BUT I have to say I don't recommend it.. I think you are better starting with a new backup and keep the old disk as an archive..
