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.

  • How to transfer purchases from one Apple account to another?

    I've used my family's apple id for years, I've probably put $1000 into apps and music, but I'm finally moving out. My mom doesn't want me accessing her email so she's making me get my own id. I don't want to lose all the apps and games and data I have saved, so is there any way to transfer all those purchases to my account?

    You will not be able to Transfer anything from your family's Apple ID to your New Apple ID.
    Anything Purchased / Downloaded using the family Apple ID remains Tied to that Apple ID.

  • How to transfer music from one apple id to another?

    I received an iPad and set it up using a new apple id. Can I still access my music from my computer using my old apple id and put the music on my iPad?

    You can not transfer music (or anything else, for that matter) from one Apple ID to another.  However, the iTunes library doesn't care which ID was used for the purchase.  All music, apps, movies, etc. from multiple IDs can reside on the same library in the same iTunes.
    Before I continue, I need a bit more information.  You referred to your mom's ID and your dad's ID.  Do you also have your own ID?  Which music and apps, etc. is actually on the iPod?  Which music and apps, etc. is actually in the iTunes library?

  • Can I transfer purchases from one apple id to another?

    I have been using my apple id for both mine and my daughter's purchases, but now I want to separate hers into her own apple id. Can I transfer purchases?

    No, that's not possible unless Apple is willing to assist. You would need to open iTunes and click on the Accounts link under Quick Links then contact Apple about your question. Also see,

    You can't merge two IDs.  If you're talking about music, video, etc. that you bought at the iTunes store, then you can't copy/download one file from one account to another.  Same thing with icloud.

  • How to transfer music from one apple account to another

    So, for some reason I couldn't get into my Apple account to sync my new ipod 5 and get my music on it, so I was going to transfer my music to a new account that I had just made. I was still logged in on my friends desktop, so I synced it and got almost all of my old music. So for the past 2 hours, I've been trying to get my music onto my laptop. I've tried copy and paste, moving it to a usb, clicking and dragging to the desktop, clicking and dragging to drop into the device, but I've got nothing. What do I do?!?! Please Help!!! D:

    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.

  • Transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another

    Does anyone know how to do this?

    You don't need to create a new Apple ID: you can change the address which forms the ID and login. This is the method:
    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Create a new email address, for example  at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

  • How to transfer purchase from one iTunes account to another

    For a while I've been buying content through my mom's iTunes account, and just recently set up my own account. However I purchased a season of "Game of Thrones" while I was still using her account, and can only access the season through iCloud if I'm on her account. I was wondering if there was a way to still keep the purchase I made but switching it under another account (without having to buy it on the new account). The file of the purchase is on the same computer and will remain on the same computer, but just a different iTunes/iCloud user.

    Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll switch it. They probably won't.

    How can I transfer all iTunes purchases from one apple id to another?

    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.

  • Can I transfer purchases from one itunes account to another, if so how

    Can I transfer purchases from one itunes account to another, if so how

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
    Answering quickly, though, if you mean you want to transfer a purchase from one iTunes Store account to another, you cannot.
    Regards.

  • How do I transfer music from one Apple ID to another on an iTouch?

    My mom bought some songs with her Apple ID that I want to transfer to my own iTunes library. I've done this before because I got a bunch of music from my dad's Apple ID that I had bought when I was sharing with him, but now I can't figure out how to do it again. I have the iCloud, so should I just delete my iCloud account from my iTouch and log in as her to get the music, then delete hers and log back into mine?

    You can not transfer music (or anything else, for that matter) from one Apple ID to another.  However, the iTunes library doesn't care which ID was used for the purchase.  All music, apps, movies, etc. from multiple IDs can reside on the same library in the same iTunes.
