Can you transfer iTunes songs between 2 accounts?

I've been sharing an iTunes account with my husband for years, and finally created my own when I bought a new iPhone. Can I transfer all my songs from my husband's iTunes to my new account somehow? If not, what's the workaround solution so that I can basically access both song libraries together on my new device? I also have an iPod that I'll want to do this with. Thx for any advice!

You cannot transfer them to another account.
You can put the songs on your computer and sync them to your device.

Can you transfer a purchase between accounts?

I want to transfer some purchases that are on my iPad to my iPod touch but the iPad and iPod have different accounts. Can I still transfer the purchase?

Jjaeger,
Keynote presentations created on Mac can be transferred to iPad easily in many ways:
- Connect your iPad to iTunes and switch to the APP tab, scroll down to the application section, locate Keynote and place a copy of your Keynote file in the Keynote section and click apply - the file will be transferred to your iPad -- after you files are transferred, open Keynote on your iPad and in the Thumbail View of all the files Tap the "+" button on the upper left and Copy from > iTunes - your file will then be read in and opened in Keynote for iPad
- Emailing a copy of the Keynote File to yourself is also an easy way to get your file onto your iPad - on your Mac open your Keynote file then Share > Email > Keynote and this will send you an email with your keynote attached. On your iPad, open your mail and TAP & HOLD on the Keynote Attachment, then Select Open In > Keynote. This will open your file in Keynote on your iPad
- If you have Dropbox, you can transfer files that way as well using the Open In... option.
Note: you should be aware that not all features of Keynote for Mac are available on your iPad - you may encounter some font substitution and some builds, animations and movements may be substituted or omitted. Apple has posted a "Best Practices" article here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4114?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
And additional insights of how to transfer Keynote files can be found on your iPad in the Keynote Application under the Tools Menu (wrench) Help File in the section about Sharing your presentations.
Hope this helps.

Can you transfer specified files between an imac & laptop

http://ChucF Can You transfer specified files between a laptop & an imac?

Sure.
There are several possibilities.
You can connect the 2 with FW and start one as Target (keep T pressed during boot). You will see the second Mac as external HD and do the transfer with Finder.
Or you can connect the 2 on the same net with Gigabit Cable or WiFi and again use Finder.
If you need more control in transfer I found Tri-Backup usefull (www.tri-edre.com)

How soon can you transfer iTunes accounts?

How soon can you transfer apple IDs on your device? I have two accounts. An old one and and newer one. Could I set my iPhone up wi the old one and transfer to the new one the same day?

You can logout of the currently logged in account by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and you can then log in with a different account (you can't transfer content from one account to another account). But if you turn on automatic downloads for an account, use iTunes match or re-download its past purchases then you risk tying your iPhone (and the same principle applies to computers) to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
If you want past purchases from an account, then do you have all of your content from both accounts on your computer's iTunes so that you can sync them over ?

Can you transfer only a users account settings on a new mac?

I am wondering if you can get a new mac and transfer only the old macs user account settings without the applications or any folders of any other user. also can you transfer only that users music and pictures and everything?
Thank you,
Caleb

Migration assistant (it's an applications/Utilities) gives you an option to transfer individual accounts, applications and other data. you can choose to transfer a single account. This will transfer the whole home directory of that account. You can't pick and choose which folders in the home directory you want to migrate. if you want that kind of control - migrate by hand.

Can you transfer purchases from one account to another?

My parents created an Apple ID using our HOME E-MAIL and I've been using that one since I first used iTunes. Now, I have MY OWN e-mail address and I want to use that one now. I want to know if there's a way to TRANSFER ALL the purchases I've made with that account to my new one. I really DON'T wanna have to buy them again...and I have ALOT of stuff I bought.

Stuff that was bought recently is DRM-free, and should work under any account.
Stuff that was bought when all files were DRM-protected are non-transferrable between accounts.
If you subscribe to iTunes Match, you should (not 100% positive) be able to delete your DRM-protected files and redownload them from iTunes's matching service. (Ones that are matched, of course.. Uploaded ones will stay DRM'd.) It's only $25 for a year's subscription, and all their files are 256kbps, too. I'd recommend this solution.
If you bought video files, I'm afraid you're screwed, as there's no way (that I know of) to remove DRM from videos. Either re-download or keep authorizing your computer with both iTunes accounts (the old one and your current one).
I have a couple music vids and TV show episodes that a buddy of mine gave me about 9 years ago. Every time I get a new computer, I have to have him come over and authorize my account, or I can't play them.
Hope this helped.

Can you transfer iTunes from an orphaned iPhone (laptop it used to synch to was stolen)...

My son has an orphaned iPhone with music we'd like to synch to our main iMac (his laptop which had his library was stolen). Is there some way to transfer the songs from his iPhone? They were purchased using my appleID, so in theory they are mine. However, only option given when we try to synch his iPhone to our main family iMac is to erase and resynch he iPhone...but we don't want to do that since there are songs on there not in our iMac libary. Any help much appreciated!

If the iPhone's Apple ID matches the Apple ID in iTunes on your computer, you could do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases when the iPhone is plugged in to iTunes.
If you don't get that far, and your only choice is to erase and resync the Mac, then there is some other issue (e.g., the Apple ID does not match between the iPhone and iTunes).

Can you transfer itunes to new hard drive????

Had 4th Generation ipod stolen and replaced with 5th generation 60gb ipod, laptop is only 30gb, which was fine with old ipod. Have recently bought a seperate hard drive 250gb. Is there a way to safetly transfer all my itunes songs, photo's, videos, etc onto my new hard drive to release some space from my laptop which is starting to work very slowly, took over 4 hours to install latest version of itunes

You could follow Apple's step-by-step directions on how to do this by searching on "Move iTunes library" or "move iTunes folder" in the Apple.com support search. They tell you how to do this, error-free if you follow their instructions to the letter.
Searching Apple.com or here prior to posting will get you the answer you need without the wait.
Please don't follow Slinger's advice, do it once the right way. He misread that you want to move to a new external HDD and thinks you are replacing your internal HDD. The part about copying then to a DVD or (yet another) hard drive so you can then copy them to the proper hard drive (vs. just connecting that new hard drive to the computer with all the files on it to begin with) made no sense as a result. Anyhoo... there is a way to do it, so good luck.
Here's the link, since I am now worried you may not get all of it right...

How can you transfer iTunes from an iPod to a computer?

I recently replaced the harddrive in my 12.1G4 and unfortunately also lost my back-up itunes file. How can I transfer the data from my iPod to the mother computer with the new harddrive? I have authorized the computer for my iTunes account, but itunes still shows the iPod is authorized to another computer.

I have authorized the computer for my iTunes account, but itunes still shows the iPod is authorized to another computer
iPods are not authorized or deauthorized.
It tells you it is synced with another iTunes library and asks what you want to do.
To copy the items off your iPod to iTunes, see this post by Zevoneer -> http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11646661&#11646661

Can you share iTunes libraries between iPad and iPhone?

I know how to share libraries between my MacBook or iMac and my iPad and/or my iPhone. My question is, can you share your iTunes libraries between your iPad and iPhone only, without using a computer? I wanted to share movies between my iPhone and iPad in Europe over wi fi so I could take more on two devices. Does iCloud support videos?

There are no iTunes libraries on the iPad or iPhone. You have iTunes content on the devices but not libraries. The content is stored in the respective apps as you well know. AFAIK there is no way to share the content from one device to the other using any iOS feature in the current sysetm.
This something that may appeal to you. The GoFlex Satellite Wireless Hard Drvie.

You don't need a computer (other than to set this hard drive and and transfer the content), but it is one more device that you have to lug around with you.

Can you transfer mail signatures between devices using iCloud

I have created a signature in mail on my mac. Can I transfer that to my iPhone 5 and Macbook Pro with iCloud or is there another solution?

iCloud includes as part of its suite of services Apple's free email service - it has nothing at all to do with any other email services you subscribe to.
To get another account on your device, you need to set that account up, using that account providers settings.

Can you download itune songs to android devices?

Can I buy itunes, download to my computer and then upload to my android phone or device?

iPads, which operate on Mac iOS, are specifically incompatible with Flash Player, per Apple design, going back to iOS 1 in 2006. That... will never change... according to Apple.
Kindles and Samsung tablets operate on Android which WAS compatible with Flash Player prior to version 4.0. After that, Android dropped all support for Flash Player (June 2012).
The reasoning for both of these decisions (as Apple stated in 2006) was that playing Flash content is extremely processor consumptive, and it kills batteries, as well as shortening battery life, in mobile devices. It just took Android a little longer to come to the decision to drop support.
Windows phones, 7 and 8 are compatible, and 8 even has Flash Player embedded by Microsoft, like Windows 8 for desktops.
You can find info about "Dolphin" for Android at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser It seems to be the browser of choice to play Flash content on an Android device. Also, check the Android forums to see what their "gurus" recommend.
For the iPad, check out SkyFire. It seems to be the preferred iOS browser for Flash content.

How many times can you transfer itunes to ipod?

After I accidentally erased my itunes from my ipod i tried to re-transfer them from itunes library. Can I do this more than 1 time or is one time the limit on songs purchased from itunes?

Songs purchased on the iTunes Music Store can be copied to an unlimited number of computers. However, only five computers at a time can play your purchased music. There is no limit on how many times a song is transferred to your iPod as you do not need to authorise your iPod just the computer that it links to.
