How can I switch iTunes accounts without losing purchases?

When I purchased my wife an iPhone, I made the mistake of setting her iPhone up on my iTunes account. It had never been a problem until now with iCloud and other such features that are connected with the iTunes account. Is it possible to switch her to her own iTunes account and still retain the music/apps/etc she has purchased for her device? Thanks.

Agreed, I would like to able able to split my daughters account up from mine. I do not believe there is a way to do this however.

  • How do I switch Itunes Libraries without losing my music?

    The majority of my music is on my old, slow computer and this is where I initially synced my Iphone 5s, but my primary computer (laptop) has some music and I would like to download music from this computer in the future. I can't get the music from my laptop to my Iphone without Itunes prompting a message that says that my music from the other computer will be deleted. I know that I can transfer the music to the other computer via usb external storage devices and this is what I plan to do now, but it is a pain and in the future I would like to be able to get music from my laptop. Is there any way to switch Itunes libraries without deleting my music? Any information would be appreciated.

    ugghh thats so obnoxious I dont know why Apple made it like this it used to be so easy to transfer music.. so does this mean that I'm going to have to delete al of my music from my old computer and then redownload it?

  • HT1349 how can I reinstall itunes if without lossing purchased music?

    I have to reinstall itunes without loosing the music saved there already, the burner got corrupted and I didnt back up the music purchased.

    Your iTunes data is not stored in the same place as the program files so uninstalling or reinstalling iTunes will not cause you to lose your data.
    Your iTunes library data is located in the iTunes folder in Music.
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
    Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

    You cannot use someone else's apps without violating the license agreement. The apps are tied to the owner (via Apple ID). The right thing to do would be to update and start fresh.

    To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.

  • Everytime I try to update to iOS5 on my iPhone 4 I get an error containing 0xE while it is trying to backup data from the iPhone.  I have done everything suggested in Apple support.  How can I upgrade to iOS5 without losing all the data on my phone?

    Everytime I try to update to iOS5 on my iPhone 4 I get an error containing 0xE while it is backing up data from the iPhone before installing the new operating system.  I have done everything suggested in Apple support with no success.  I still get the error everytime (about 5 minutes into backing up iPhone data).  How can I upgrade to iOS5 without losing all the data on my iPhone (the error message says that if I continue I will lose all data on the phone)?  If I have already synced the phone before upgrading the OS, would I be able to restore my data after installing the new OS by syncing after the OS upgrade is complete?  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

    If you are just visiting Singapore, then leave the account as it is. If you have moved there, then view your account using the iTunes app on a Mac or PC and change the country/region to your current location and address. If you do not have a bank card, you can fund your account using iTunes gift cards if available in Singapore.

    You are talking about the menu bar of Itunes, right?
    Yes. With iTunes open the menu bar is at the top of your screen.
    where exactly is the Store/synck you iphone option?
    After you authorize the computer connect your iPhone then follow the instructions here > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    When you are done transferring the data to the desktop, right or control click the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click Back Up.
    That way you will have a backup just in case you need to restore your iPhone.

  • HT1918 how can i setup  my account without a credit card

    how can i setup  my account without a credit card

    Thanks SniperKat but I don't know why for some reason the "NONE" disappeared...
    I started to create an account and when I saw the credit card thing I just clicked back and back and so I closed the browser... every free app or something free I get it appears a window : " You have to review some of your information about your account" .... but I don't have an account yet because I didn't create it.... the only solution is to create a new e-mail account and go to iTunes store and create a new account with the new e-mail and be very carefull with the "Free app" this time...

    Change your iTunes Store country
    Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
    Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.
