How do I transfer music purchases from one apple id to another

I purchased music from Itunes years ago with an old apple id and old email address.  I am trying to play that music in my Itunes on my Dell Win7 laptop that uses a new apple id, and though the computer is authorized, it is authorized under the new apple id.  When I try to play the music, a box with the old apple id comes up, asking for a password.  I click 'Forgot' and am taken to a new screen that asks for my date of birth.  I enter it, and I get a big red message that this does not match there records.
I know the old apple id, but not the password, and the email address that was used for that apple id is no longer a valid email address for me.  The FAQ indicate that I should be able to authorize the music for multiple apple id's, but it does not say 'how'.
I tried changing the apple id and password to the new one when I tried to play the music, and nothing happened.  I can play the music that I added to itunes from cd's but not the purchased music.
I don't think this matters, but just in case it does:  I have a new iphone 6 that is authorized for my new apple id, but my issue right now is authorizing music on my laptop.  I'll tackle syncing the iphone with itunes on my laptop next.

You can’t. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

  • HT204053 How do i transfer app purchases from one apple id to another?

    I have an old apple id which is linked to a gmail account.  I have made many purchases from it.  I would like to make a new account, how can i transfer the purchases from the old account to the new one?
    Thanks

    This is not possible... Anything Obtained with a Particular ID is tied to that ID...

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • How can I transfer my purchases from one Apple ID to another?

    I would like to consolidate all my wife's and my purchases into one existing Apple ID on our computer so we can share apps, music, books, etc.
    I spoke with your Support Team who said this was possible if completing a particular form and requesting this formally with specific accounts and list of desired transfered purchases.
    Do anyone know where this form is and has anyone been successful in doing it?

    Hello.  I currently have two Apple ID accounts.  I want to keep my iCloud account and just use that one as my Apple ID.  I want to delete one that I have linked to a diffrent email address.  Before I do this, I would like to know if I could transfer my purchases on the other ID to my iCloud Apple ID.  Or is this not possible?

  • Can I transfer my purchases from one Apple ID to another?

    Hi,
    I have all my iTunes purchases (music, apps etc) under an Apple ID that I have been using for work purposes. I have now invested in a MAC at home and created a new Apple ID for home use. Is there a way of transferring my purchases from my work Apple ID to my home Apple ID?
    Thanks, Paz

  • I can't transfer a purchase from one apple ID to another?

    OK, so I have my apple ID and then my friend and I have one that we share. Well, I bought a movie on the ID that we share but I couldn't download it to my phonne because I don't have enough room. However, I would still like it in my iTunes. I am signed into my personal iTunes account because I had the majority of my music on there. How can I get the movie to transfer from our joint account to my personal account without it being on my phone? I tried clicking transfer purchases and it transfered some of the other movies we have on the account which werent on my phone, but it won't download the one I want.

    Any purchase is permanently attached to the ID it was purchased with (or gifted to if it was a gift). Sign in to the account you want to download from then go to the iTunes Store home page > Quick Links > Purchased > Movies > Not on this computer and download.

  • How do I transfer itunes library from one apple id to another?

    My husband and I used to share an Apple id, under which I uploaded music from my old CDs and we also both purchased music in itunes.  But I have since established my own Apple ID in an attempt to organize my music and downloaded a few things there.  Since puchasing a new apple desktop and having our files transferred, I would really like to "copy" or "share", not sure what the right term would be, all of the music under the original id to my own and keep things separate from here on out.  But how do I get, or bring up, all the old music in my new(er) apple id?

    Music from your cds in not "under" and Apple id at all.
    Put all of the music in your itunes library.  that simple.
    Music is not in an id.  it is on a computer.  Put it wherever you like.

  • 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.

    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.
