Can I move an IPad to a new iTunes account without losing the apps?

I currently have two devices on my itunes account, and would like to move one the devices to a new itunes account (not mine). Is it possible to do this without losing all of the apps that have been acquired on that device?

You can only have one library per user account on a PC/Mac.
So, if you need to create a new library, then create a new user, and transfer the content you want over to that new user. Then sync.
Can you clarify a little more what you're needing?

  • Can two people switch iPads (from same base iTunes account) without losing data or settings.

    I am going to trade my nice new 32 GB iPad with Verizon LTE to my wife for her original 32 gb iPad that is just about years old.  She likes the trade but neither of us want to lose data or settings.  Will backup and restore work reliably?

    I am resonding to my own reply since I just tried to do the ol switch.   Moving from the original ipad to the new one was not a problem.  I backed everything up and I wiped the new ipad and restored it as my wifes.   I then wiped the old ipad and tried to restore it with my back up and no go.   The new ipad had iOS 6 and the old one is iOS5.1.1 so the back up would not restore on the old one.   My backup still sits on the iMac wiating for an ipad.  fortunately building the old ipad from scratch wasnt too bad since i really dont use it for much.  I'll just have to work harder to replace my high scores on bejeweled and plants vs. zombies...

    how can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

    Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
    Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
    Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact.

    It is not possible to merge Apple IDs. 
    Why did you create a new one?

  • How do I sync my old ipod to my "new" iTunes library without losing the music I already have loaded onto my iPod?

    Hi, so I got my new computer loaded up with iTunes and I want to be able to move my music from my old iPod to my new iTunes library without losing any of the music I already have placed on the iPod. How would I do this? And please I'm not too savvy with the new iTunes layout and such so if you could make this easy in layman's terms that would be great.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you purchased all songs in the iTunes Store, plug your iPod to your Mac or PC and iTunes will ask you to transfer purchases.
    If you didn't purchase any song or you have non-purchased songs from the iTunes Store, you have to use an application to transfer the songs to iTunes. Here is a list of applications you can use for that > https://discussions.apple.com/message/11319208#11319208

  • A friend let me use her old ipad that was still synced to her account. I want to sync it to my account without losing the app progress, notes, and pictures. How do I do this and keep everything on the ipad?

    I want to sync an ipad to my iTunes account that used to be synced to another account without losing the data (i.e.- pictures, notes, app progress). Is this possible or will I lose everything once I sync it to my account?

    You can't. iDevices are one user devices.

  • Create new iTunes account without losing previously purchased content?

    My husband and I both have iPhone's but currently share one iTunes account from which all music, apps, etc. have been purchased from.  As time goes on, it is getting harder to manage; therefore we want to create a separate account.  Is there a way to create a new Apple ID for his phone without losing the existing content that has already been purchased?

    There is nothing that prevents having iTunes content that was downloaded with more than one Apple ID or iTunes account on one device.
    She needs to register her computer with the new Apple ID with iTunes.
    All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID or iTunes account that was used to download the apps. This means in order to install an app update for an app that was downloaded with the existing Apple ID, she will need to use that Apple ID and password or she will be prompted for it when doing so.
    iTunes on your computer allows for transferring iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iOS device.

  • Is there a way to remove existing music and upload new from a new itunes account without loosing previous apps. Itouch 32gb, generation: I don't know, has no camera...

    Ok, so. My Uncle recently gave my family an itouch that he had owned previously. Which meant that it came complete with applications and music and such. But as I found out my uncle has a very different taste in music than us, so I am trying to add my music from My itunes account. But he already has 1620 different songs on there, some of which I would like to keep and others not so much. Is there a way to keep the applications, and some of the music, while removing many of the songs???? Feel free to ask anymore clarifying questions.
    Thanks.

    You should restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod and add/purchase your own media. The media did not transfer with the iPod hardware. Using it would be stealing.

  • I need to transfer content from my ipod touch to a NEW itunes account without deleting the content! help me please!!

    A friend and I shared an itunes account, as we both had ipod touches. I no longer have access to that account. I have created an account of my own but I need help tranferring the content that is on my ipod touch to my new itunes. I am scared to update my ipod or syncing it because it might delete my content. I have spent A LOT of money on apps and music from itunes, and i need help! PLEASE!!

    The photos are on the ipod.  Photo sync will erase them.  I need a way to extract them from the ipod, or to.extract them from the ipod backup that is who knows where on my PC.
    I've been searching for an app to do that with no luck.  They all seem to want a newer OS than is on my ipod yet I have the most recent update installed.

  • How can I add a new iTunes account without losing all my music on my iPhone?

    Currently, all of my family's purchases are through my wife's iTunes account.  As such, both of our iPhones are synced with iTunes through that account.  I would like to add an account just for me, but I also don't want to lose all of the music we've purchased so far.  Is this possible?

    Thanks for that...

  • Hi. I was given an iPod with hundreds of songs.  Now I have created my own iTunes account on my computer.  Is there any way of adding my iTunes to my existing iPad (someone else's iTunes account) without losing all of the songs already on my iPod?

    Hi there.  I was given an iPod loaded with hundreds of songs.  I have created an iTunes account on my computer. Is it possible to add the songs from my own iTunes account onto my iPod, which was created by someone else using their iTunes account, without losing all the songs on my iPod.  Probably a stupid question, but I am one of the "older" generation .... Thanks

    The The person who gave yo the iPod did not have the right/licence to also give you the media on the iPod. If you use it yo are stealing.
    Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content end Settings and set the iPod up with your media.

  • How can I move my sons songs from my iTunes account to his new one we're opening just for him?

    my son is building quite a collection on out family's itunes account. We now want him to have his own and move his songs to his new
    itunes account. how can this be done?
    Thanks,
    RKB

    It can't be done. The most you can do is ask store reps to grant those songs to newly created account, but I see that highly unlikely to be approved. Reason: for store purposes your son does not exist - just two different accounts. If they will start doing that and giving to one customer something that was purchased by another, the DRM companies will sue Apple/Itunes for every penny that was sold by them.

    here is link for e-mail contact if you still want to try. Good luck!
    P.S. to your second note. You have multiple ways for him to use that music, Just not to move to itunes account.
