Transfer app from one account to another with same SKU number

Hi,
I want to transfer a application from one account to another and i get this error:
You cannot transfer apps with a App product ID that is the same as a product ID used by the recipient's app.
The Apple ID for both applications is different.
The only thing in common in the SKU number which i have to admit, is poorly chosen for both apps - 01.
I don't want to re-submit my apps so i can choose a new SKU number for one of them.
Is there any way i can transfer them ?
I think you should be able to choose a new SKU number when you transfer to another account because your app is going to belong in a new inventory.
Thanks

Found the answer today from Apple:
"It is not possible to transfer an app that has an identical SKU/product ID to another app on the recipient's account. If you would like the app to be distributed on the App Store through this specific account, you will need to remove it from sale, delete it from the current account, and then upload it as a new app in the new account. Deleting the app will enable you to use the app name in the new account.
When you move the app to the new account, you will disable current customers from receiving automatic and free updates of your app. Also, all customer reviews, rating, and ranking information will be reset.
Deleting an app permanently removes the app and any associated In-App Purchases from iTunes Connect. After the app has been deleted, you won’t be able to reuse your app name and SKU. Also, if you have uploaded a binary or enabled the app for the iAd Network, you won’t be able to reuse your Bundle ID.

How can i transfer apps from one account to another.?

now i had bought apps with my old account. but when i sync them into my phone i cant update them using my account, i need the old itunes i had. How can i transfer all bought apps onto my new account?

You can't.
All 3rd party apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to purchase/download the apps. DRM cannot be transferred from one account to another.
Why did you get a new iTunes account? Changing your email address alone does not require doing so.

Transfer Apps from one account to another

I'm not sure if this post is in the right area:
I have about 5 apps that I purchased through my wife's account at the iTunes store. Is there a way that I can transfer these apps to my account? It sure would make updates through iTunes easier, as right now I have to log out of one account and in to another for all updates to occur.
Thanks!

No. DRM does not permit this. The way you're doing it is the way it has to be done. While you can share apps, you cannot transfer them. Same applies to music, etc.

Transfer iPhone Apps from One Account to Another

*Hello everybody,*
*Since I'll be moving to Germany soon to study Medicine, I've created a new iTunes account which is the one I use regularly. I was wondering if there is a possible way to transfer paid apps from one account to another for the same iPhone, and if it's not possible what do you suggest so I can still use my paid apps with my new account.*
*Thank you*

What you would do is on computer authorize other account for that computer. So you computer is authorized to play both accounts. Then you can sync apps from both accounts to your phone using the same computer as before.
My wife and I both have our own accounts and each of our instances of iTunes have authorized each others accounts for that computer. So I can sync her apps and she can sync mine. Just becomes a pain when you update an app via the cell phone when updates come out as trying to do all at once usually fails if the apps for updating are for each account. So have to do one at a time or just have them update via iTunes and sync.

None that you can do yourself, and probably none at all; if desired, click here and ask.

Correct, but if you have your apps and app settings set to sync with your Google Account, they should have the data with them.

Transfer purschases from one account to another

We had iTunes and an account on a notebook computer and the hard drive crashed shortly before Christmas. I wanted to order an iTunes giftcard and but couldn't log into iTunes from another notebook so created a new account. I was in a hurry to get this gift out. Then, I connected our iPod Nano and tried to transfer the purchases. I authorized this computer but it won't let me transfer because it says the songs belong to another iTunes library. The iTunes library on the dead computer has all our purchases, and not all of them are on our iPods (nano, 2 shuffles - different family members).
So, I need to somehow get to our original account and transfer those purchases to the new account. I have made two purchases (giftcard, 1 song) on the new account, iTunes setup on the computer. I would think there has to be a way I can work with someone at Apple/iTunes to find my original account and transfer the purchases to the new account.

There's no way to transfer items from one account to another. Why don't you just go back to your original account? If the gift card was for someone else, it shouldn't matter that you don't use the new account.
Best of luck.

Is there a way of shifting purchases from one account to another with the same billing information, so that I don't lose purchases made by my iPhone when I sync?

The AOL address I was using for my iTunes account has been deleted due to me not signing in for awhile and I'm afraid that I will lose all of my purchases made from my iphone when I sync it into iTunes for a much needed update and so that I can (hopefully) transfer its data to my new iPhone 4...
The only time I have synced my current iPhone was when I activated it but since then I have not been able to sync with my computer and now have a new one.
Sorry about the garbled way this is written but I desperately need help:
1, Is there a way of shifting purchases from one account to another with the same billing information?
Or
2, is there a way of recovering my old account and changing the details?
Any other help is greatly appreciated

You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.

Stop using the account.
You need do nothing more.
You will need to authorize your computer for both accounts as you have purchased from both accounts.
