How to find apps for a specific itunes account?

My middle son is off to college this week (in Japan) and will be taking with him a new MacBook Air. Naturally, he wants to also take his music and apps that he has purchased over the years, which now reside on my iMac (the family's media hub) along with music and apps for all the other members of the family.
But I can't find any way to sort the music and apps by account, which means he'll have to go through the entire iTunes libray one song and one app at a time. That'll take way too much time.
Is there a way to easily identify the music and apps associated with a single iTunes account from among many accounts?
I also face this same prospect when the youngest child goes off to college in 3 years, so if I can figure this out for the middle child, it will save considerable time when the youngest gets her own Mac.

Here is a script that will examine each track in the entire iTunes library--or a selection of tracks--for items purchased from the iTunes Store (audio, video, and books) and then sort them by either the purchaser's name or account ID into discrete playlists, eg: "Tom Ryan Purchases" or "[email protected] Purchases".  http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackdownpurchases
For apps, App Store Expenses gathers all iPhone applications from your iTunes folder on your computer, reads out the price information and presents the total amount of money you've spent on the Apple App Store.  It provides a list selectable by the account that purchased each app.  The app is a free download (donations requested) from:  http://wetfish.de/software/osx/app-store-expense-monitor/

  • ITunes account, how to authorise apps for iphone, from an account in which password is not retrievable.

    can someone please help me? 
    my mum got an Iphone 4 a few weeks after they were released. at the time, i had an itunes account of my own, and for a while, that account was used for appliction downloading. i then made her an account a few months ago, and have since been downloading from that. i recently put ios5 on her iphone, which removed all applications. i selected to apply them back on, but because some were downloaded from another account, in which i can not remember the password, and i have tried every previous password i have used, and i have gone through the "forgot password"options, but have never recieved any emails with a reset password code, from apple. i am hoping someone can give me a solution, as my mum is not very impressed with over 25 apps missing, because of this issue. thankyou, in advanced.

  • How to delete apps for ipad in itunes?

    i've installed some apps in my ipad and sync with my itunes. but when i no longer like those apps and want to erase them, i can only erase them from the ipad, not from the itunes.

    Launch iTunes on your computer and go the apps section of the iTunes library. Right click on the app that you want to delete and you should be able to delete it. I think that you can also click on the app  and then go to Edit>Delete to remove the app.

  • Still can't figure out how to share apps with two different itunes accounts, two different apple ids (homesharing for music works fine) this is between my wifes iphone 4s and my ipad 3 4g anyone help ?

    My wife has an iphone 4s. I have an ipad 3 4g. Homesharing between the pc, the ipad and the iphone is fine, but only for music. Many forums say that apps can be shared between devices but HOW ???? I can't find a solution anywhere. My wife and I have separate apple ids, separate icloud accounts and separate itunes details....
    Anyone help ?

    Select the name of the shared library in the source pane of your itunes, and click on the wee disclosure triangle to the left of the name of the library. Does "Apps" appear beneath the name of the library?
    Here's a screenshot of what I mean. (Unfortunately, it's not showing "Apps" because there aren't any in that library. But fingers crossed it should give you an idea of what you're looking for.)

  • How do I find Apps for 2nd gen Touch?

    Recently I replaced my 2nd generation Touch with one of the same version from the Apple store because the battery died. Now I'm having trouble finding Apps that work on it.  Most won't download and I get a message that says ios outdated.  Any suggestions on how to find Apps that work?

    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

    You could also download the Ringtone Maker all for iPhone in the AppStore and create your own custom ringtones and message tones.
    Not needed.
    Easy enough to do in iTunes.
    Find the song you want and note the start/stop time you want the ring tone.
    Right click - get info, click the Options tab and set the start/stop times as above.
    Right click - Create AAC version. This creates a new file.
    Drag this new file from the iTunes window to the desktop.
    Delete the file from iTunes and also select Delete from hard drive.
    On the desktop, rename the file whateveryouwant.m4r (first part you can change to whatever you want & change the extension to .m4r).
    Drag the file back to the iTunes library at top left.
    Make sure iTunes prefs > General has Tones ticked.

  • Hi there I lost my password for my original iTunes account I can't recover it because the email address it is registered under is not longer valid How can I access my old account?

    Hi there.
    I did a factory restore and then restored it with iCloud back-up. I have been using lots of Apple products and i have used three different email adresses. Almost all apps restored perfectly but everytime i try to play a song in the Music app, i asks me for a Apple-ID i had no idea i have used.
    Hence:
    I lost my password for my original iTunes account
    I can't recover it because the email address it is registered under is not longer valid
    How can I access my old account?
    Can't find a place to change the email address to my new one without the password which I no longer remember.
    There is no way to just erase Apple-ID's on my device either.
    What to do? Should i ju give up and start from scratch and delete 2 years of stuf?
    Cheers!

    If you can remember the answers to the security questions when you set up that account - I think that you can reset the password without needing email authentication. You can try it here. Read it and see if it's possible. But if you can't remember the answers to the questions it will not work.

  • I show and old defunct email address for my Apple ID on my APP store, iCloud, and iTune accounts and cannot log in.  I am told my ID or password is incorrect.  I did change my primary email address.  that is the app ID that is showing.

    How do I rename my App Store, iCloud, and iTunes accounts so i can update apps and software?  I have closed the original email address i started my App Store, icloud, and iTunes account and cannot log in unders that Apple ID.  I have tried going through device and my MacBook Air.  Where can i get on-line assistance?

    If you mean you are trying to delete your iCloud account in iOS 7 and you don't know the passwod for the old ID, do one of the following:
    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was.  You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so.  You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • How do I turn off all alerts for a specific email account

    I want to disable all notifications for a specific email account and I can't find the options to do this. So basically I have 3 email accounts linked on my blackberry. I and I want to make it so that any time account #3 gets an email I don't get a red flashing light or a new message * anywhere. I case you're wondering I've funneled all those annoying promo adds to this one account. It's just that sometimes some of them actually have good deals so I want to be able to check them every now and then but it's seriously annoying when my red light is going off constantly. NEVER MIND! I found it, but I'm going to leave this here incase anyone else it looking for something like this. You go into notification profiles and change the settings for that profile. So it's :   Notifications -> Profiles -> Normal (or which ever one you want) -> Customize App Notifications -> Email Messages -> Select email account you want -> Turn off all notifications or modify them to your preference. It does suck that you can't just globally set it by email account. It seems you have to go through each profile and change the settings one at a time. Most people probably only have 3 though so it's not that big a deal #firstworldproblems. DOUBLE NEVER MIND! So the "solution" I mentioned above only seems to work for the LED indicator and the instant popup you that comes on the top of the screen when you get a new notification. I'm still getting the red "new email" star on the side bar when I do a quick look from the homescreen or an app. And the 3rd email account has a "new email" red star next to it as well. Hoping someone out there knows how to turn them off for a specific email account. Thanks. - Kbye

    Hi, I am using German OS therefore maybe the items are called differently in English: 1) Go into the main menu 2) Select "Alerts" 3) select the Profile you like to adjust 4) Select App Alerts 5) Select Email 6) You sould see your 3 mail accounts listed 7) Select the one you like to "mute" and you can set everything (sound, LED, vibration etc. individually for this acount) Hope it helps Alex

  • Hi where can I learn how to develop app for ios in Singapore?

    I am new to iOS development. Are there any courses from apple or elsewhere in Singapore that I can learn how to develop apps for iPad and iPhone  platform?
    Thanks.

    There are a number of good resources. Stanford did indeed start up the iOS development class again, but the registration period has passed. You can stilll download the material and do a self-study, though:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/course/coding-together-developing/id593208016
    There are also Apple's materials, the primary source of development information:
    https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action
    If you do a web search for "iOS development", you'll find a number of other sites that should be of help.
    Regards.
