Can I merge purchases from my US iTunes account and UK iTunes account?

While living in the US i made purchases from the iTunes store but have moved to the UK. I've been forced to make purchases from the UK iTunes store. Now I have a new 5S and would like the music purchased in the US on my phone but can't figure out how to access it or move it over to the UK account. I simply want the music I purchased through Apple (in any contry) on my **** phone. I know you need a US bank account tied to a US address and I've done that (even though it's a pain to always have to type in new info when going back and forth between accounts). What am I missing here? For such a brilliant company I can't believe Apple hasn't made this an intuitive process. Way to US centric.

Your music should be on your computer and your backup copy of your computer.  Just sync it to the iphone.
You cannot use the U.S itunes store from the U.K, so you cannot redownload any U.S purcahses.
Certainly you have the music on your computer or a backup copy.

    hi

    the second one is my email, can i transfer everything in my first apple id to the second one and then to earase the first on?
    i want to make my mail a primary thing for all my web stuff

    No.  Content is permanently tied to the Apple ID it was acquired with.
    Simply update the email address linked to the Apple ID.

    No, all iTunes purchases will remain tied to the account that downloaded them, they can't be transferred to a different account (nor can accounts be merged).

  • 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.

    I can't make purchase from iTunes

    I have the same problem. I go to the iTunes from iTunes on my Macbook Air. Find the music I want to buy.  Click Buy.  I get a message that flashes at the top of the screen that says "Purchasing". Then the message goes away. No purchase. No download. How do I fix this? There are some new albums I want to buy

  • I am a Brit living in Germany. I really need to be able to purchase from the German iTunes Store (in €) and the English one (in £). How can I set this up from my iPad?

    Technically correct (the best kind of correct)
    Now if the Op has and retains a UK account with billing address and UK paymant card - He/She can continue to use the UK store in Germany - Apple does NOT use IP address blocking just a valid paymant card attached to a postcode !
    Basically the first four of your paymant card are country codes.
    What the op needs to do if he/she now has a Germany address and payment method (could just be German € value gift cards) is to open a separate German iTunes Account !
    On a PC/Mac its very easy to change stores, however iOS has it a bit more difficult.
    In fact i would recommend the Op sets up a new German account and credentials on a PC/Mac first.
    And doing so just means opening the store in iTunes scrolling to the bottom of the screen and clicking on the littler circular flag in the bottom right.
    After that the browser window is populated with loads of similar disc flags. Clicking any take you to that regional store where provided you have a valid address (Postcode/Zipcode actually) and payment method local credit/debit some prepayment VISA cards or just a gift card you can create a local account.
    Oh and because Apple do NOT use IP addressing you don't actually have to be present in the country of that store. Its against to terms of the EULA but it works !
    Back to the iOS device
    Tap Settings/iTunes & App Store /Apple ID (that will probably be showing the UK account set up).
    In the window that opens tap log out
    Now  change the ID to the new German name and password and in the next window make sure the flag selected is that of Germany (when in Germany)
    When buying from the UK store follow that path again log out of the German account and re-log in using the UK ID
    As it happens I have a UK Portuguese and US account all active because I have residences in all three - and can visit any of the stores from anywhere.

    How come I can buy foreign books through Amazon as e-book, but the same book can't be downloaded from iTunes? That doesn't makes sense.
    Why would you think that all stores would have the same policy?
    Amazon allows it, iTunes does not.  That is why.  Like most companies, Apple does not forward explanations to al of their decisions to the general public.  It does not have to make sense to you, for it to be true.  Apple has teams of experts that have determined that this is how they should conduct their business.
    With iTunes, you cannot use other countries stores.
    Sorry

  • Can i transfer purchases from one account to another?

    My son has an iCloud account for his iPod Touch that he has purchased many apps and songs on.  His school has assigned new iPads (that us parents have to buy out of pocket) and he was assigned to create a new iCloud account for that iPad that he will use and buy his own apps on for the rest of his public education and probably further.  therefore, the current iCloud account will not get used.  Is there a way to transfer the purchases from his old iCloud account to his new iCloud account and delete the old account?  If not, he may have wasted up to $100 in App purchases that can't be transferred.
    thanks.

    Hey imattster!
    If you are speaking of merging your Apple IDs so that the purchases are under a singular account, this question is addressed in the Apple ID FAQ which can be found here:
    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.
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
    However, I have an article for you that can help you use your new iCloud account for personal data while continuing to use your old Apple ID/iCloud account for your purchased items so that you do not have to worry about not being able to utilize any previously purchased apps:
    Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases
    You can use different Apple IDs for iCloud and Store purchases and still get all of the benefits of iCloud. Just follow these steps:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    When you first set up your device with iOS 5 or later, enter the Apple ID you want to use with iCloud. If you skipped the setup assistant, sign in to Settings > iCloud and enter the Apple ID you’d like to use with iCloud.
    In Settings > iTunes and App Stores, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You may need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.

    Also, this article will guide you in downloading those previously purchased items onto your new device:

  • Downloads/purchases from AppleTV versus iTunes

    When I purchase a movie on iTunes (on my computer or iPhone) it immediately begins downloading and is added immediately to my "purchased" list on AppleTV.   However, when I purchase a movie from AppleTV, most of the time it does not download and is only available on my AppleTV.   I can usually go to my iTunes account and report the issue, but that means I have to remember to check....Anything I can do to make this happen automatically?

  • How can I transfer songs from ipod to itunes

    I just found my old ipod and I want to transfer those old songs into my itunes and put it into my other idevices?
    ,Thank You

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device.  Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software.  A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

    Apps that are written for the Mac OS cannot be used on iOS devices, such as the iPad. You can purchase the iOS versions of some of these apps in the iTunes App Store.
