Can you copy music and apps from one iTunes account to another?

My nephew got an iPod touch for Christmas and for some reason my husband decided to add it as a new device to my iTunes account and purchased games and music and put these onto the iPod.  So now he has access to my password, etc.
What I really want to do is set up a new iTunes account for my nephew, but will I be able to transfer his games and music purchased under my account onto his new account or will we lose them all?

This Apple article will walk you through changing the Apple ID -> iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store account
And this one will walk you through creating a new account -> iTunes: How to set up an iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
You won't be able to transfer the apps to the new account, you'll have to purchase them again with the new account.

    Can I move music and movies from one icloud account to another of my icloud accounts?

    No.  Purchased music, movies and other iTunes media is permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase it and can't be transferred to another ID.  (Your purchases are stored in iTunes in the Cloud under the Apple ID used to purchase them.)

    help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Not on your own. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put it back onto the card; they'll only do this if none of the balance has been spent.

    You can't. The apps must be purchased separately.

  • Syncing apps from one itunes account to another.

    Hey guys, first forum post so go easy on me pls
    The other day I decided to download some apps from my mums itunes account since I didnt have any money to pay for them myself. When it came to syncing/copying the apps from her account, it decided to delete most, if not all the apps from my own account.
    I had a read around and have "authorised" both my laptop and her macbook, and the iphone registers this. However, I tried to copy some apps from my account this morning and it seems it wouldnt have been possible without deleting the ones I had copied from her account.
    Is there any easy way around this syncing problem? Or will I just have to keep buying things from my own itunes accout?
    Any feedback is appreciated

    Not trying to doubt you or anything but you probably did something else with the iPod such as use 2 accounts simultaneously in which case you would have to log out and in each time you needed to update

  • Transferring apps from one itunes account to another

    I bought the original IPad from a family member, so it was set up with there ITunes account and all of the apps that are on it. I would like to transfer everything that is currently on the IPad over to my computer with my ITunes account, without having to reset the IPad and purchase all of the apps all over again. I need to manage my IPad through my computer and ITunes account, not the one it was originally set up under.
    I have managed to do this with an IPod, so I can imagine it would be possible with an IPad.

  • Transfer purchased apps from one iTUNES account to another

    I have purchased a few apps on an iTunes account, have set up a new account and bought apps on that. Can i transfer apps from one iTunes to another?

    The Solution is that you will need to keep account A active for as long as you have those Apps...
    Or you can Get Them Again using account B... But if they are Purchased Apps you will have to pay again...
    Free Apps are of course Free...

  • Transfering Apps from one Itunes account to another

    I bought my step-daughter an Ipod for christmas. She went to her dads house over the holidays and set up her ipod to work with his Itunes account. Then she went on a shopping spree and spent over $100 on music and apps! Problem is she lives with us and now realizes she can't sync with her computer when she is at home and also has to share any Itunes gift cards with her dad and the step-family over therre. She wants her own Itunes account but obviously doesn't want to loose her apps. I know this must have come up before in the past and I hate to ask an old question but the search feature doesn't seem to be finding any results on this. Does anyone know of a transfer service or some such that will get the apps she wants from her dad's account and transfer them to her new account?

    What you can do is use one account for regular use, and the other account could only needed to be used to update applications?
    In other words, make her an account and only use her fathers if you need to update an app.

  • Copying apps from one itunes account to another

    I have been using my moms account to buy apps for the past couple of years(as has my whole family) but im moving out and need to get my own account, will i be able to transfer my apps from her account to mine? It is on the same laptop already.

    No. All store purchases remain tied to the account they were bought with. You can however authorize your new computer for the existing account and then make new purchases on a new account. However with apps from two accounts you'll need to sign in & out of each account to authorize the updates. For the moment I'm treating my account as a family account even though two of my children have left home and we all make purchases on the one account, but they have to check with me first.

  • How to transfer music CD's from one itunes account to another same computer

    Bought my husband a ipod for Christmas. I have had one for awhile so I have many songs from itunes and CD's on my account. I have figured out how to transfer my paid songs from itunes to "his" itunes account, but I do not know how to get my CD's that I have downloaded. I do not want to have to manually download all the CD's again, is there an easier way? Everytime I try and share files it just shares the paid itunes songs.
    Thanks

    Although it would double up your drive space use, you can always go into the iTunes music folder and copy Artist folders, album folders, or individual tracks to your shared folder and then he can import them to his iTunes.
    Or he can set his iPod up for manual updating and simply plug his iPod in when under your account and load whatever songs he wants from your library into his iPod. See below for more details...

  • HT1848 can i transfer gift card funds from one itunes account to another

    We just got my son an iPhone and have it under the same iTunes account as his iPod.  Last night he was trying to download a new ringtone but kept getting asked answers to security questions.  We thought we knew the answers, but they wouldn't work.  After speaking with a customer service rep, he said it would be easier to create a new iTunes account.  My problem is, we have the funds from a gift card under the account with the iPod.  If I create a new account, is there any way to transfer the gift card funds to the new account?

    As far as I know it's not possible to transfer a balance from one account to another account, but you should be able to get the questions and answers reset.
    If you have a rescue email address set up on that account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

  • How can I transfer a podcast feeds from one itunes account to another?

    For a couple of years we have been using a third party company to edit and submit our podcast feeds to itunes. They have been doing this using their own itunes account. After changing things round a little, I have now created an itunes account for our company and want to transfer the current live feeds from the other guys account to my new account but I have no idea how to do this. Although the guy is very good, I don't reckon he is that technical so I thought I may be able to get some assistance here.
    Any takers?
    Thanks

    It's not currently possible to transfer an account's balance from one account to another account, nor to use it to gift items to another account. Also any content that was bought/downloaded via your account will remain tied to your account, so your account will need to be authorised on the computer that he will be syncing to, and only your account will be able to re-download that content and/or download updates to those apps.
