How can I force purchases from one apple id to another?

We bought my childrens music under my wife's apple ID but now we are split up.  I can transfer the purchases to my itunes and make all new purchases under my apple id but cannot update those purchased under her apple id, I guess it remembers where it was purchased.  How can I make them under my apple id so we can update them?

You can't. All purchases under an Apple ID are forever tied to that ID and cannot be transferred.

  • How can i export contacts from one apple id to another apple id

    I just got a new phone - all of the data from my old phone didnt get transferred because
    I was using 2 separate apple ids - how can i export the data from the id i am no longer usIng
    to the new id

    Does the old phone have the old apple ID ?
    If it does then sign out of the old iCloud account, Keep your info on your phone, sign in with new apple ID, then merge to cloud. Give it a few minutes. You should see the other contacts appear on your new phone via iCloud.

  • 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,

  • How can I get music from one apple ID to another without rebuying it?

    I use to use the family itunes where we all bought our music and shared but once I got a job and a debit card I created my own apple id and started using that account to buy my music. Now my parents device has all my music that I had, in exchange for my own money, bought with their card. I really don't want to re purchase the music.

    Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll do it. They probably won't.

    Don't agree. I have two accounts, one for work which I set up years ago and bought a few tracks. I've recently bought iPhone and iPad and created a home ID and wanted to transfer the old purchaces. Everyone says it can't be done, but I've done it.
    1. on the iPhone/iPad change your "store" Apple ID to the one you want ot transfer from.
    2. go into iTune on the device and download the purchaces.
    3. on you PC/Mac change the iTunes login to the same as the device's ID
    4. sync your device
    5. change both ID's back and the purchaces stay on both iTunes and your device.
    Delmar,
    The procedure you describe is putting content from two different IDs into a single library, which can readily be done.
    However, each item of purchased content will still be tied to the ID from which it was originally purchased, and they will be treated separately for purposes of Cloud, Match, Purchase History, etc.

    You cannot. iTunes purchases remain on the iTunes account they were purchased with.
    My IPhone 5 wont play my songs that were purches from my old apple id account
    So just upload them from iTunes.
    You have mulitple AppleIDs?
    Why?

  • 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.

  • How to transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another?

    Hey guys,
    I'm planning on creating a new Apple ID due to an email address change, but am worried that doing so will prevent me from reinstalling any purchases I have made with my old Apple ID.
    Does anyone know a way to transfer my purchases from one Apple ID to another permanently?
    Thanks in advance for any advice,
    Dan

    It is not possible to merge two iTunes accounts.
    Do yourself a favor, do not create a new iTunes account, simply update the account information for the one you already have.

  • How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another?

    How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another? My daughter has an iTouch, and I was managing it through my library. I have created an iTunes account for her, with a new iTouch, and would like to move the apps over. I tried to sync the old iTouch to the new library and it said it was already set up to sync with a different library. What is the best way to do this?

    You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    To make the new computer the syncing computer you have to:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases lIke I described above
    - Make a backup of the iPod on that computer by connecting the iPod and then right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPOd from that backup
    She will have to continue to use your iTunes ID to update the apps prchased with your account. To use her account she will have to log into the computer with her account (iTunes>Store) and change the sign in on the iPod by going to Settings>Store.

  • HT1386 Can I move music from one apple account to another?

    Can I move music from one apple account to another?

    Typically not.  Consider the case where you used an Apple account (call it A1) to purchase songs from iTunes.  Now you are interested in moving your music to account A2.  Well A2 does not own the music - A1 does.  So that's a problem.

  • How do I move music from one apple ID to another

    How do I move music from one apple ID to another?

    If you want to change your iCloud ID to another existing ID you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data (including the calendar) to the new account.  To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your iPad and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPad.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (Note, this will delete the account from your iPad but not from iCloud.  The account will remain in iCloud if anyone else chooses to remain signed into it an continue to use it.)  Next, set up the new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.*  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    * If you only want to upload the calendar, only turn Calendar to On; but I'm assuming you will be the owner and want this to be your iCloud account on your iPad with all your data, and then your can share the calendar with others and administrate it.
