How to transfer music CD's from one itunes account to another same computer

Bought my husband a ipod for Christmas. I have had one for awhile so I have many songs from itunes and CD's on my account. I have figured out how to transfer my paid songs from itunes to "his" itunes account, but I do not know how to get my CD's that I have downloaded. I do not want to have to manually download all the CD's again, is there an easier way? Everytime I try and share files it just shares the paid itunes songs.
Thanks

Although it would double up your drive space use, you can always go into the iTunes music folder and copy Artist folders, album folders, or individual tracks to your shared folder and then he can import them to his iTunes.
Or he can set his iPod up for manual updating and simply plug his iPod in when under your account and load whatever songs he wants from your library into his iPod. See below for more details...

It's not currently possible to transfer an account's balance from one account to another account, nor to use it to gift items to another account. Also any content that was bought/downloaded via your account will remain tied to your account, so your account will need to be authorised on the computer that he will be syncing to, and only your account will be able to re-download that content and/or download updates to those apps.

How can I transfer a podcast feeds from one itunes account to another?

For a couple of years we have been using a third party company to edit and submit our podcast feeds to itunes. They have been doing this using their own itunes account. After changing things round a little, I have now created an itunes account for our company and want to transfer the current live feeds from the other guys account to my new account but I have no idea how to do this. Although the guy is very good, I don't reckon he is that technical so I thought I may be able to get some assistance here.
Any takers?
Thanks

Can you copy music and apps from one iTunes account to another?

My nephew got an iPod touch for Christmas and for some reason my husband decided to add it as a new device to my iTunes account and purchased games and music and put these onto the iPod. So now he has access to my password, etc.
What I really want to do is set up a new iTunes account for my nephew, but will I be able to transfer his games and music purchased under my account onto his new account or will we lose them all?

This Apple article will walk you through changing the Apple ID -> iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store account
And this one will walk you through creating a new account -> iTunes: How to set up an iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
You won't be able to transfer the apps to the new account, you'll have to purchase them again with the new account.

HT1848 can i transfer gift card funds from one itunes account to another

We just got my son an iPhone and have it under the same iTunes account as his iPod. Last night he was trying to download a new ringtone but kept getting asked answers to security questions. We thought we knew the answers, but they wouldn't work. After speaking with a customer service rep, he said it would be easier to create a new iTunes account. My problem is, we have the funds from a gift card under the account with the iPod. If I create a new account, is there any way to transfer the gift card funds to the new account?

As far as I know it's not possible to transfer a balance from one account to another account, but you should be able to get the questions and answers reset.
If you have a rescue email address set up on that account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

HT1918 How can I move my downloads from one itune account to another?

I have a new itunes account sand want to move my downloads to it. I have been using another family members account and they now have an ipad that they want to download their oown stuff to without mine appearing. Is there an easy way to do it?

No. You can delete it from their iTunes library and make a new one, but it'll remain tied to that iTunes Store account.

How to transfer an iWeb site from one MobileMe account to another.

I am creating an iWeb site for a friend. I am doing this using my mac and my MobileMe account. I understand that the iWeb site assets are all stored in my MobileMe iDisk. I want to take the finished site and transfer it to my friends computer and his MobileMe iDisk so he can manage it from there. How do I do this.

If you have your friends MobileMe login details, then you can publish the site to his MMe account directly from your Mac. Go to System Preferences and log out of your MMe account and then into his and then go back to iWeb and then publish the site directly to his MMe account.
As far as giving him the ability to manage the sites, just give him the relevant domain file for the site. Go to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and find the domain file and then you can e-mail it to his Mac and he can then put the domain file in the same place on his Mac.
Whatever you do, don't publish the site to your desktop - you won't be able to do anything with it. It is the domain file that you need if your friend wants to manage and alter the site in any way.

You haven't understood me. Follow these steps:
1. Log in the user where are the files you want to transfer, and open a Finder window.
2. In Finder, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type /Users/Shared. Now you're on Shared folder, so leave that window.
3. Open a new Finder window without closing the old one, go to the folder with the files you want to transfer, and copy them to Shared folder.
4. After copying the files to Shared folder, go to  > Log Out, and log in the other user.
5. Repeat the step 2, and you will get access to the transferred files. Now, you can open them directly from this folder, or you can copy them to a folder on your user folder
