How do I transfer iTunes music from one account to another?

My family has always shared the same account for iTunes and we all have our own seperate libraries on different computers. But now, I'm making my own iTunes account and I obviously want my library to go from the old account to my new one. Is there any way to transfer my old music library to my new account?
(I have about 3000 songs and they were all purchased from iTunes except for about 200 of them... if that helps in any way)

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

Lisa,
Just get copies of the song files and add them to your iTunes library. With the exception of any DRM-protected files (purchased before mid-2009 and never upgraded) they will play fine, even though they are technically associated with the original account.

How do I transfer my music from one account to another

I'm trying to figure out how t transfer my music from one account to another since someone hacked into my girlfriends account and now iTunes locked her account as a one account use only and majority of my music was bought with my card. Is there any way to transfer all my purchased music into my new account? I still have the music I purchased on my pc.

You can't, all content is tied to the account that purchased / downloaded it and it can't be copied or transferred to a different account.

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.

How do I transfer iTunes music from one user to another?

WITHOUT deleting from the original user iTunes
I only have 1 itunes account

Copy the iTunes Music folder in Music to the other account using a external drive or the Shared Folder on the root directory.
Use Finder > Go To Folder and enter
and press Go, click on your hard drive name, then Users then Shared folder.
However the playlists and song locations pathnames are written for the other user, but that can be edited with a Text Editor and "find and replaced" to match the pathname of the other user of the iTunes.db file.
Likely the permisisons will have to be changed to that other user as well, when copied to the other User, Finder > Get Info on the folder and change the permisisons to the other user (or everyone) and click the spoky thing to "apply to enclosed items"

How do I transfer iTunes balance from one account to another

I accidently put the wifes gift card into my account when she wanted me to download some songs for her. Now she wants the remaining balance in her account, how do I move it over?

If you have spent any of the money, you can't. You'll have to buy her a new card. If you've not spent any of the balance, you can contact the iTunes Store and ask if the balance can be transferred. Go here:

HT204053 How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

Apple will not permit transfer of applications from one account to another. Suppose your mom has presented an iPad to you and before presenting she has downloaded some Apps with her account. If you want to update those Apps, you must know her pass word or send the iPad to her and request her to update and give back. If you feel it is time consuming and difficult, the best way is purchase new iPad and down load the latest version of App. Whenever you come across you go on purchasing new iPad. This will help you to have latest version of iPad with you.
