Can I Transfer purchases to another Apple ID?

I have my personal Apple ID that I use for everything. I want to create another user profile on my macbook pro that I can use strictly for work. This will help my work be more focused and organized. I wasn't sure if I would be able to use the same Apple ID for two profiles on the same device. None the less I would like to create an Apple ID with my work email. There are several apps that would help benifit my work such as my Adobe CS6 package. Is there a way I could transfer those apps to the other profile? If so, would I still be able to use them on the original profile? Would it be more convienent to just use the same Apple ID for two different users? Thanks a lot for your help. It is much appreciated.

I wasn't sure if I would be able to use the same Apple ID for two profiles on the same device.
Sure you can. Imagine a family computer. The "owner" uses one apple-ID for System Software. Kids use their own Apple-Ids for their email and iTunes accounts. There is no conflict as long as one Apple-ID is one (login) account.
Is there a way I could transfer those apps to the other profile?
Sorry, not at this time.
would I still be able to use them on the original profile?
Yes. Anything installed for All users can be launched by all Users, even if they have no Apple-ID of their own, or have a different one. But they could not Install Updates using a different Apple-ID.

  • HT1420 How can I transfer purchases to another Apple ID account?

    I made an Apple ID trough iCloud and my family had another Apple ID that they use for purchases but i wanted to transfer apps that i bought from the other account so that they can be on my account now so that i can update them. Is there any way that i can do this? cause i dont want to go through all the trouble to re-download every app that i have.

    As of the moment, transferring purchases between accounts is not an option. I suggest sending a feedback to Apple to improve their services.

  • Can I transfer purchases from one apple id to another?

    I have been using my apple id for both mine and my daughter's purchases, but now I want to separate hers into her own apple id. Can I transfer purchases?

    No, that's not possible unless Apple is willing to assist. You would need to open iTunes and click on the Accounts link under Quick Links then contact Apple about your question. Also see,

  • Transfer purchase to another apple id

    Hi All,
    Anyone can help, my boss purchase apps using an existing apple ID but he wants to cancel this Apple ID and register a new one and then transfer all that he purchased to that new Apple ID
    May I know , if this is possible and if yes, what is the procedures to do it?
    Thanks in advanced!
    Matt

    This is Not possible... Anything Obtained with a Particular Apple ID is Tied to that Apple ID and cannot be Transfered to a different Apple ID...
    FYI...

    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.

  • Can i transfer purchases from another user on a public ipad

    I am working in a public school and a previous employee purchased well over $100 worth of apps.  I am now the one in charge of the iPad, but it needs to have the apps updated and the Operating system updated.  Is there anyway to become the "owner" of this ipad in order to make the updates that are needed?  It is a public iPad in a school and is accesed by several people.  Thank you.

    First, do you have the account ID and password for the iTunes Store account through which these apps were purchased? If you do, then you can either update directly from the iPad or you can sync it to a computer and update through iTunes. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    Or you can download the apps to iTunes on a computer and then just set up the iPad as new, synching the apps from that system. If you update from the computer, confirm that the apps will support the version of iOS the iPad can run. An iPad 2 or third-generation iPad can run iOS 6, but an iPad 1 only will go to iOS 5.1.1.

  • HT204266 can we transfer purchased applications to another apple id?

    I have an iphone 5 and I have purchased applications for my children. They now have an ipad 4th gen each and I want to transfer all their games to their ipads but they have a different apple id to mine. Can we do this and if so how?

    You can't transfer them to another account, all downloads from the store are tied to the account that downloaded them. If your account is authorised (via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option) on the computer's iTunes that they are syncing their iPads to then they should be able to sync them to their iPads.
    If you haven't got those apps on that computer then you should be to copy them over e.g. copying them onto a flashdrive and then doing File > Add To Library to add them to that computer's iTunes. By default your apps should be stored on a computer in a Mobile Applications folder somewhere under :
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
    Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
    Windows 7 and Windows 8: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can multiple users access apps purchased from another Apple ID account?

    I have several iMacs under my control. I need to find a way to download iLife using one Apple ID, so I can have all users on each machine to also have access to the updated iLife suite.
    Is it possible for other users to access an app that was purchased from another Apple ID. If one purchases an app, does the machine allow access to all the users?
    (I know those two last sentences are redundant, but I want to make sure everyone understands problem).
    I've read countless articles on this, and can't seem to catch a break from the problem.

    If this is in a school of some type or a corporate learning center with multipple Mac computers you should contact Apple directly and ask them for help in getting a version that can be installed on multiple Mac with out have to down the updates to each computer individually.

  • I have a iPhone and iPad on one iTunes account, I have recently bought two further I touches fir the kids , should I set them up with their own apple ids and the can I transfer purchases through all devices

    I have a iPhone and iPad on one iTunes account, I have recently bought two further I touches fir the kids , should I set them up with their own apple ids and the can I transfer purchases through all devices,

    Hi jhyiesla,
    Im not sure wether I got you right or not. But my advice/s would be as follows:
    These steps help you get rid of old apps you downloaded years ago and you do not use anymore.(Also frees space on your mac after emptying the trash)
    1) go to iTunes and delete all applications in it. Make sure to move them to trash! Do not empty your trash yet. Its your backup if step 3 doesnt appear.
    2) connect both your devices(one after each other) and make a backup. !!!Dont press the Sync button, press the Back Up Now Button
    3) Then it asks you if you want to backup applications as well. Confirm. (This is how apps get transferred manually)
    4) Then Sync your devices... The first time it might be, that there are some additional apps loaded to your devices you dont want to.. delete them on your Device (not iTunes) and after that you should be good every time you sync again.
    5) now you can empty your trash on your mac.
    Further,
    - You should regularly connect your devices with iTunes to make sure they are backed up. (Even if you have activated iCloud backup, the iTunes backup is more proper i.e.. Apps)
    - If you hate scrolling through a list of apps in iTunes, you can re/install apps directly on iOS not via iTunes. I absolutely never go to the "Applications" section in iTunes. I install and delete apps directly on iOS.

  • I downloaded apps purchased with another Apple ID. But my data is missing. What can I do to get them back? I have a different iCloud id.

    I downloaded apps purchased with another Apple ID. But my data is missing. What can I do to get them back? I have a different iCloud id.

    All apps are tied forever to the Apple ID used to obtain them, that is also true with In-App purchases.
    Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

    You dont need access to yoru old email address.
    Go here -> https://appleid.apple.com
    and update yoru old account.
    I made a new apple ID with a new email.
    Can I transfer purchases?
    No.
    There's really no need to create a new AppleID as this will simply cause problems with multiple accounts.
    Just update your old account with new info.

    No you can't, all content (apps, music etc) that you download from the store will remain tied to the account that downloaded it - you can't transfer them to another account, nor can you merge accounts.

  • How can I transfer movies from the apple tv to the ituenes, to watch in the ipad?

    how can I transfer movies from the apple tv to the ituenes, to watch in the ipad?

    Is this a rental or a purchase?
    Rentals on ATV cannot be transferred.
    The 2nd and 3rd gen model do not have accessible storage. Some movie purchases are stored in iCloud (if you live in the US) where you can reload in iTunes on your computer)
    If you own the 1st gen aluminum model then it should be set to sync

  • How can i transfer songs from another itunes other than mine

    how can i transfer songs from another itunes other than mine

    Purchases made under 1 Apple ID are permanently associated with that Apple ID and CANNOT be transferred to another Apple ID.  So if you want to keep those songs, you'll need to always have access to your dad's account.
