How do I send my iTunes Library folder from one account to another?

I just bought a new Retina and I used migration assistant to bring my old account (A1) to my new computer. The thing is, I wanted a clean fresh hard drive, more so, a clean fresh account (A2) that doesn't have years of random downloads and applications on it. However, I cannot find a single way to bring my iTunes library over to this new fresh account, A1, that I set up. I still have the old computer. Is there a way to transfer my library from the computer to the new account, or transfer the library from A1 to A2?
Thanks!

You can't do it yourself. If you've just redeemed it and not spent any of it then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can move it the other account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

How do you change an iTunes gift card from one account to another?

I Want to know!

Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put the balance back onto the card; they'll only do this if none of it has been spent.
iTunes Store credit can't be spent on any sort of gift.

How can I transfer my app store purchases from one account to another?

Can I transfer my apps to a new iTunes account from my old one? How?
Thanks.

No, you cannot transfer apps from one account to another iTunes account. Apps are DRM protected and forever tied to the account used to originally obtain them.

ITunes user library transfer from one account to another on the SAME comptr

Initial information: I have my computer, internet is with SBC Yahoo DSL. It has five sub accounts on it; mine, my wife's and my three children. Each has their own subaccount to make life easy.
I bought my wife an ipod in the August and through ignorance set up the itune to run on my subaccount. So when she wanted to buy a song, she had to go to my subaccount, log on, buy the song, plug in and download to the ipod. No problem.
I then bought my daughter an ipod for her birthday in September. Not knowing any better, she plugged into my subaccount and got all of her mother's stuff. Not a big problem in that they like the same stuff.
December my son gets an ipod. I learned my lesson and set up an itunes account on his subaccount. He therefore buys songs, that go to his ipod only. He wanted some songs from mom's, so I couldn't figure how to get them over. So I read the instructions on this web page. I burned the disk with the 22 songs that he wanted, but when burning the discs, no info (song title, artist, album) came with it, so I manually added the song titles and artists names. He was satisfied.
Now mom and sister want their songs put onto their subaccounts so that they won't have to share, or better, won't have to down load what each other has. I tried burning more discs, but when I got to disc #11, I realized that once again, there are no names or titles, etc to the songs on the burnt discs.
QUESTION: (finally) Is there a way to transfer the songs from dad's itunes, to other subaccounts on the SAME computer. This way not needing to burn lots of CD's without the information that they want.
Final piece of info, in case you don't know how SBC/Yahoo DSL is set up. I have the different subaccount on the computer, but to get from one to another, you need to either log off, or so simply "switch users." For this reason, such functions like "select all" then "copy" then "paste" I don't think can be done. Please make your answers very simple as I am not that computer literate.
Thank you

I'll try and keep this simple. It gets a bit confusing.
Ok, in the account which you want to transfer songs from, make a playlist of all the songs you wish transferred. After you do so, open the playlist, then go to "File > Export Song List". Put the file in a place that you'll remember. Then, go to the account you want the songs to go to, then go to "File > Import", and find the file you created from the other account and open it. That should import those songs into that iTunes library.

Can i move iTunes app purchases from one account to another?

My daughter has an itues account and she uses it for her purchases from the itunes store. She purchased an iPod Touch for her son and used her account with the iPod to purchase apps for him. She just purchased an iPad for him and obviously all the purchased apps he used on the iPod Touch cannot be downloaded to the new iPad without her having her account on the iPad. If we create an iTunes account for him, is there any way to transfer the purchased games etc to his account.
If I understand correctly, there can be more than one account on the iPad but my daughter does now want him to have access to her account. If this is not possible, can we set it up so he can only access his iTunes account and not hers? In other words if we download all the games etc that were purchased for him, will they be available if she leaves her account on the iPad but changes the PW so he cannot access the account? He would only have access to his iTunes account.

You can only use one account per iPad, and you can't transfer purchases to other accounts

Is there a way to move a folder from one account to another?

I have a multi-faceted business and as such, I receive emails for different kinds of work. I'm trying to separate them all out into separate email accounts in order to better manage it all. So I've created two addresses to supplement my main one and I'd like to move some folders from the original account and move them under one of the two new accounts. Is there a way to do this without manually adding each folder (there are hundreds of them) and cutting and pasting the emails?
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

It kind of worked. I have a lot of subfolders in there and it didn't copy all of those over. I imagine I'll have to do those one at a time?

How can I transfer all the apps purchased from one account to another?

Good day,
I'm just wonderin' can I transfer all the apps purchased from my old account to a newer one?

No, apps (plus other content bought from Apple such as music and films) are tied to the account that bought / downloaded them and they can't be copied or transferred to a different account.

Extract the hard drive from the faulty computer and recover the library from it or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. (At least one link in there may be useful even if you don't have such a device.)

I want to move my library from one account to another, it is also on a different computer. How can I do this?

I want to move my library from one account to another. However, when I try to sync th old account it is not syncing to my iphone or exporting out. How can I do this? Someone told me that it may be set to WiFi but it was not. My libray is sitting there but I can get it out. Mean while I have changed accounts and down loading to the iphone on my new account (and changing computers as well) How do I make this work so I can get my Library to sync to my iphone or export it from the old account. Is there anyway to move my library from one accont to another from the itunes side?
Thx Rick

Media is permanently tied to whatever account was used to purchase it. There is currently no possible way to change the account it is tied to.
Is there a reason why a new account was created?

How do i transfer iTunes money from one account to another

how do i transfer iTunes money from one account to another? also forgot security question answers

You can't, an account's balance cannot be transferred to another account, nor can it be used to gift content to another account - it can only be used to buy content for the account that it's on.
For your security questions, if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then you can use that to reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset, and if you don't already have a rescue email address, you can then add one for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

How do you move one (1) Photo Folder from one Catalog to another Catalog in Lightroom 5?

I want to move one (1) Photo Folder from one Catalog to another Catalog in Lightroom 5 and my laptop (no external hard drive involved). I have already started the editing process in Catalog #1, but due to the size of the Catalog #1, I want to move the current job and future work to a new Catalog.
Currently the backup feature takes an hour to complete. There are also significant delays during large image edits.    So I am thinking, that by moving over to a smaller Catalog, Lightroom will work faster.

Hello ... and thanks for your response.   But I have discovered a couple problems. And I am sure it is "operator error"
I used your method #1. The first window that popped up stated that it was making a temporary copy of the catalog. This took about 20 minutes.
Next, the window showed thumbnail photos on the right and a list of folders in my catalog on the left. The catalog contains folders stored on my LapTop, as well as my external hard drive.
There appeared to be a distinctive difference between those photo folders stored on the external hard drive and those on my LapTop.   The folders on the external drive were named as I have all my folders named: Date_CustomName. The folders stored on my LapTop were named as: Lightroom_5 Backup_Date_CustomName or some such combination and my memory is foggy on the actual use of underscore, slash marks, dashes, etc.
I searched the list closely, and the Folders without a reference to "Lightroom Backup" were not showing.
So as a test, I "added" to the new Catalog one folder from the external hard drive and two from the LapTop.   After the transfer, the new Catalog had accurately named my external hard drive and the folder within in and the photos and their edits transferred accurately.   The other two folders were not named but listed shown in the library module as grey boxes as images with indications of editing. But when I clicked on it, there was a notation that popped up that the file could not be found.
Any ideas?
I am going to create a second new catalog and try your option #2 now.
Thanks

How do I transfer Itune credit from one account to another?

My father mistakingly put $50 into his account and thought he could transfer most to me (as he won't be needing the full amount). Is there any new updates as to transferring Itunes credit from one account to another. If not, Is there a way where i can use my personal devices, and use the Itunes credit that my father won't be neeing?
Thank you in advance.
J

Either ask the iTunes Store staff to put the entire balance back onto the card, or your father to pay you an amount equal to the credit he won't need.
