How do I switch Apps from one Apple iD to another?

I have been having some difficulties with my new Mac Mini. I have had the computer since Oct. 2011, but I just recently got it hooked up to the internet. I have been trying to update some of my other Apple devices and I have encountered some difficulties doing so. Customer service has been working with me to resolve that problem, but I think they might have helped to create another. I have an Apple iD as does my wife, but my iD is the primary one one the Mac Mini. Her phone was the device that caused all of the original problems not wanting to update. Tech support has me to reinstall the operating system and when it did it took her Apple iD as the primary iD. I need to know how to switch or reset the computer, because now the installed apps GarageBand, iMovie, and iPhoto are listed under her iD and they won't allow me to update them unless I use her iD. Any suggestions as to how to switch this over would be greatly appreciated?

That would be really tough & may not even work, I'm trying to figure out how this happened in the 1st place.
I take it these Apps were installed in Your Account only?
Which Apps, or just one in particular are they/it? Do a Get Info on one and see what it says for Rights & Privileges?

1st pulg your ipod in then go tostart menu click on my computer or just computer depending on what your model calls it
2nd Once in my comp click on your ipod drive go to tools or view under options click on file or floder then look for
the show all hidden files section make sure because this is very important click on the option ok it or apply it
3rd then a new file or floder will apear click on it then look for the music section the folders will have codes like a letter and number click on one of them because this is a block of some of the music then you will see the songs you will have alot of these files so highlight them all it & drag them into the my music floder by you have to do it folder by folder to highlight all the songs they are broken off into differnt sections!! so each coded folder with music must be opened & then the music highlighted then draged into my music shouln;t take too long it took me like an hour total

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.

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.

How do i copy contacts from one apple id to another?

how do I copy contacts from one apple id to another?

I assume you mean you want to copy them from one iCloud account/ID to another. If they're synced with iCloud go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, when prompted choose to Keep on My [iDevice], then delete the iCloud account, sign into the other iCloud account, turn Contacts back to On and when prompted choose Merge. Note: when you delete the account it only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud. If you then want to go back to your previous account, delete the iCloud account from your device, when prompted choose Delete From My [iDevice], sign back into your other account, turn your iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted, choose Merge.

How do I transfer music from one Apple ID to another on an iTouch?

My mom bought some songs with her Apple ID that I want to transfer to my own iTunes library. I've done this before because I got a bunch of music from my dad's Apple ID that I had bought when I was sharing with him, but now I can't figure out how to do it again. I have the iCloud, so should I just delete my iCloud account from my iTouch and log in as her to get the music, then delete hers and log back into mine?

You can not transfer music (or anything else, for that matter) from one Apple ID to another. However, the iTunes library doesn't care which ID was used for the purchase. All music, apps, movies, etc. from multiple IDs can reside on the same library in the same iTunes.
Before I continue, I need a bit more information. You referred to your mom's ID and your dad's ID. Do you also have your own ID? Which music and apps, etc. is actually on the iPod? Which music and apps, etc. is actually in the iTunes library?

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 might I switch apps from one computer to another?

Long story short I bought a new macbook pro (yay!) and I am eager to get my Iphone 3GS synched to my new itunes library. I already have all of my music uploaded onto my new computer, however I am unsure as how to transfer apps over to my new library; and I'd rather not resync my Iphone until I have all of my old apps on my new computer.
What I gathered from yahoo answers is that when accessing apps via itunes; previously purchased apps should appear as free as long as you are logged into the same account from which you purchased them from. This however is not the case, and I'm feeling as though there must be a working way to transfer these apps.
Thanks in advance!

however I am unsure as how to transfer apps over to my new library
Use the Transfer Purchases command in the File menu of iTunes.

This means you can redownload them for free. It does not mean they'll automatically show up.

Yes, but you'll need to update them from the original Apple ID, and may need to change the one signed into the iTunes Store to make in-app purchases.

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.

Transfer apps from one Apple ID to another

I received an iPad (3rd Gen) for my 13th Birthday. Eager to get started, I used my mother's Apple ID as I thought I was still too young (13 is the youngest you can be to have an Apple ID). I have now created an Apple ID of my own and want to know if I can transfer the Apps bought on it to my new ID. I know that I can transfer songs by putting them on a disc, but am unsure if I can transfer the apps I've bought.

It is easy. Sign it with your Mom account, then go to sign again you find the option view account. Click in and edit your Mom email to your personal email, then Save. Automatically it will create another Apple ID as your email ID, leaving your Mom ID as is. Now sign in with your account and you will find your downloads their.
Actually I beleive you are mistaken. that process will only change the existing AppleID, not create a new one.
