How soon can you transfer iTunes accounts?

How soon can you transfer apple IDs on your device? I have two accounts. An old one and and newer one. Could I set my iPhone up wi the old one and transfer to the new one the same day?

You can logout of the currently logged in account by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and you can then log in with a different account (you can't transfer content from one account to another account).  But if you turn on automatic downloads for an account, use iTunes match or re-download its past purchases then you risk tying your iPhone (and the same principle applies to computers) to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
If you want past purchases from an account, then do you have all of your content from both accounts on your computer's iTunes so that you can sync them over ?

  • How can you transfer iTunes from an iPod to a computer?

    I recently replaced the harddrive in my 12.1G4 and unfortunately also lost my back-up itunes file. How can I transfer the data from my iPod to the mother computer with the new harddrive? I have authorized the computer for my iTunes account, but itunes still shows the iPod is authorized to another computer.

    I have authorized the computer for my iTunes account, but itunes still shows the iPod is authorized to another computer
    iPods are not authorized or deauthorized.
    It tells you it is synced with another iTunes library and asks what you want to do.
    To copy the items off your iPod to iTunes, see this post by Zevoneer -> http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11646661&#11646661

  • Can you transfer iTunes songs between 2 accounts?

    I've been sharing an iTunes account with my husband for years, and finally created my own when I bought a new iPhone. Can I transfer all my songs from my husband's iTunes to my new account somehow? If not, what's the workaround solution so that I can basically access both song libraries together on my new device? I also have an iPod that I'll want to do this with. Thx for any advice!

    You cannot transfer them to another account.
    You can put the songs on your computer and sync them to your device.

  • How many times can you transfer itunes to ipod?

    After I accidentally erased my itunes from my ipod i tried to re-transfer them from itunes library. Can I do this more than 1 time or is one time the limit on songs purchased from itunes?

    Songs purchased on the iTunes Music Store can be copied to an unlimited number of computers. However, only five computers at a time can play your purchased music. There is no limit on how many times a song is transferred to your iPod as you do not need to authorise your iPod just the computer that it links to.

  • How can you transfer itunes credit

    I got an Ipod 5 about a year ago and set it up with a new apple id. I had an ipod 4 before I got the 5 and it has a different apple id linked to it. My old apple id (on the ipod 4) has iTunes credit/money on it. I was wondering if it was possible to transfer that to my newer apple id

    Not on your own. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put it back onto the card; they'll only do this if none of the balance has been spent.

  • Can you transfer itunes to new hard drive????

    Had 4th Generation ipod stolen and replaced with 5th generation 60gb ipod, laptop is only 30gb, which was fine with old ipod. Have recently bought a seperate hard drive 250gb. Is there a way to safetly transfer all my itunes songs, photo's, videos, etc onto my new hard drive to release some space from my laptop which is starting to work very slowly, took over 4 hours to install latest version of itunes

    You could follow Apple's step-by-step directions on how to do this by searching on "Move iTunes library" or "move iTunes folder" in the Apple.com support search. They tell you how to do this, error-free if you follow their instructions to the letter.
    Searching Apple.com or here prior to posting will get you the answer you need without the wait.
    Please don't follow Slinger's advice, do it once the right way. He misread that you want to move to a new external HDD and thinks you are replacing your internal HDD. The part about copying then to a DVD or (yet another) hard drive so you can then copy them to the proper hard drive (vs. just connecting that new hard drive to the computer with all the files on it to begin with) made no sense as a result. Anyhoo... there is a way to do it, so good luck.
    Here's the link, since I am now worried you may not get all of it right...

  • Can you transfer iTunes from an orphaned iPhone (laptop it used to synch to was stolen)...

    My son has an orphaned iPhone with music we'd like to synch to our main iMac (his laptop which had his library was stolen).  Is there some way to transfer the songs from his iPhone?  They were purchased using my appleID, so in theory they are mine.  However, only option given when we try to synch his iPhone to our main family iMac is to erase and resynch he iPhone...but we don't want to do that since there are songs on there not in our iMac libary.  Any help much appreciated!

    If the iPhone's Apple ID matches the Apple ID in iTunes on your computer, you could do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases when the iPhone is plugged in to iTunes.
    If you don't get that far, and your only choice is to erase and resync the Mac, then there is some other issue (e.g., the Apple ID does not match between the iPhone and iTunes).

  • How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

    How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

    You can change the account shortname to whatever you wish to use.
    As you can see from my example above. Once you click on the Create User button a new account will be created.
    She will need to get her own Apple ID setup so when she starts with iTunes she can open her own iTunes account unless you both want to share the use of the same Apple ID. This can create a bit of confusion if you have your own iPads or iPhones or iPods. As you have discovered it's pretty much one iDevice with one Apple ID.
    As for the iTunes library that becomes a more complicated issue.

  • I just bought a new Nano.  How do I transfer the songs from my Shuffle to the Nano and then give the Shuffle to my husband so he can open an itunes account of his own?

    I just bought a new Nano.  How do I tranfer the songs from my Shuffle to my husband so he can open an itunes account of his own?

    DaisyDoodle,
    The songs on your Shuffle should still be in your iTunes library.  That means you should just be able to connect your Nano to the same iTunes library and sync it just as you would with your Shuffle. There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, or iPhones you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or account.
    As for preparing the Shuffle for your husband, just restore it via iTunes and then let him sync it to his own iTunes library or if its the same iTunes library, let him configure it to sync only his content.
    Here are instructions on how to restore the Shuffle if need be.

  • I had a iPod befor it was on my moms laptop and know I got a iPhone and my own laptop how do I get my iTunes account on my laptop so I can hook my phone to my laptop on the same account as my iPod

    I had a iPod befor it was on my moms laptop and know I got a iPhone and my own laptop how do I get my iTunes account on my laptop so I can hook my phone to my laptop on the same account as my iPod

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You first need to sign into the account in iTunes on your laptop, then you need to transfer the content from your moms laptop and import it into iTunes on yours. You can do this in a number of ways, either over a network, with an external drive, or even a USB stick.
    If you go to iTunes preferences > advanced on your moms laptop, it will tell you where the original files can be found.
