HT1491 Can my purchases be shared with another apple id?

Can my purchases be shared with another apple id?

No. Home Sharing allows you to share purchases with another device. It does not allow sharing with another Apple ID. From the instructions:
you will need to Turn on Home Sharing on each computer using the same Apple ID.
In any case, that's not what adolf wanted to do. He wanted to transfer apps purchased under an old iTunes Store account to a new one so he could update the apps using the new account, and that cannot be done.
Regards.

  • Can't access home sharing with current Apple ID info

    I can't access Home Sharing with my current Apple ID info. But I can access the discussions forum with my current Apple ID info though. This is very strange. Anyone having this problem? I tried turning on the Home Sharing function in the iTunes Advanced menu, but to no avail because it won't accept my current Apple ID info. I have the ATV2 model.

    My ATV 2 can get view movies from Netflix and Youtube without a problem, but when there's a need to use my Apple ID for the Home Sharing function -- from either my Mac or the ATV 2 -- it won't work. It's weird how my Apple ID can access this discussion group without a problem, but can't engage the Home Sharing. I'll see if there's another update available for the ATV 2. Hopefully that might help. Many thanks for trying to help.

  • HT204053 how can i home share photos with another apple id

    How can I share photos through home sharing with 2 apple ID. I have an Iphone and my wife does also but we created 2 ID's because we want our contacts to stay separated and we still want to view our pictures from our main desktop?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

  • I purchased original software with another apple id. how can i access the old apple id in order to update software

    I purchased my macbook air and pre-installed software under my work apple id number. i have been unable to update software on this computer with my home apple id. how can i switch to my work id so that i can install upgrades to original software?

    You can only update software using the same Apple ID it was purchased from.
    And just so you are aware, Apple ID accounts cannot be merged >  Frequently asked questions about Apple ID

  • HT3819 How can I share my music with another apple ID device

    Can I share the music on my iPad with another iPad, the other iPad has a different Apple ID

    The correct answer to your question is No - you cannot "share" Music with another device using a different Apple ID. Can you make it work - yes you can.
    You do not want to sign into the other Apple ID and download the purchased music because you will lock yourself out of your own Apple ID for 90 days. Apple does this in order to discourage users from "sharing" purchased content that they did not buy themselves.
    Whatever you decide to do, just don't download the music from the purchased tab in iTunes, because you don't want to lock yourself out of your own ID for 90 days.

  • HT204053 Can iTunes Match be associated with another Apple ID?

    I have to Apple ID accounts (although I'm not sure how that happened). I've purchased iTunes Match with one account. Now I'd like to put everything under another existing account to make my life easier. When I try to turn on iTunes Match from that account, it just takes me to the subscribe page, where I would have to purchase it. How do I get iTunes Match switched--or added--to a different account name? I'm not about to purchase it again.

    iTunes Match is not transferable, and neither are the purchases associated with your account.

  • Free apps with purchased Ipad air with another Apple ID

    Hi
    I just got the new ipad air. One from my family logged in with their Apple ID on my ipad before I logged in with mine. Now all the apps (iLife, iWork's etc.) doesn't appear free with my user, but only with that user the logged in to App Store before me.
    I have tried to factory reset the ipad, and use my Apple ID when I set it up. But it's still the same; no free apps for me. And as soon as the other Apple ID logs in, all the apple apps starts downloading automatically, and for free
    How do I get my Apple ID to link with the free apps?
    Thanks,
    Jonathan

    Actually there is likely nothing that you can do since the program is free apps per device and your relative has basically stolen your free apps.

  • HT4557 Can I use Home Sharing with only another person's iPad but with out the other person's computer?

    Would like to share music with someone.  Currently the computer registered with the iPad is out of commission.  But since you can pretty much do everything on the iPad another computer was not purchased.  How can I utilize home sharing with out two computers?

    You don't.  Otherwise they would have called it Device sharing. 

  • My itunes comes up with this when i try to download purchased songs: this devise is already associated with an apple id. this devise can be used with another apple id in 82 days. i need help to see if i can fix this problem please.

    i have an iphone 4s i signed out of my itunes on the devise and my friend signed herself into ituned but i signed her out an myself back in but my purchased songs and tones cannot download. it gives me a message of:this device is already associated with an apple id. this device can be used with another apple id in 82 days! is there anyway for me to fix this or override something. im freaking out!!

    Sorry: once a device has been authorised for a particular iTunes account you can't change it to another until 90 days have passed. This is to prevent people cirumventing the restrictions of purchases to one account from consteantly swopping between accounts. You will have to wait for the 82 remaining days, and there is no workaround.

  • Can't download previously purchased music to new iPad "Associated with another Apple ID"

    Hi There,
    I have a brand new iPad Air and can see my previous purchases in the Music app. But when I try to download (by clicking the download/cloud icon) I get a confusing error:
    "This device is already associated with an Apple ID".
    The thing is, this is a brand new device - how could it be associated with another Apple ID?
    The only other Apple ID on the device is the one used for iCloud - could this be confusing things?
    Does anyone know how to get music onto the device?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers
    Ben

    Thanks Amish,
    Dang it, I accidently marked your question as the answer from the email notifcation and can't change it.
    I purchased it from Apple and have been in contact with them for over a week. Unfortuantely, they insist I'm logged in using differnt accounts despite me sending screen shots to the contrary.
    I'm posting here becauase I'm getting nowhere with Apple - it's like they're stonewalling or the person I'm dealing with (Russ) is assuming I'm an idiot.
    I've been using Apple products for 25 years, look after an OSX server (have also maintained a Microsoft SBS server) so am quite familiar with computers and user accounts.
    But this situation has me stmped - both in terms of why it doesn't work, and why I can't get Russ to understand that I'm not logged in using a different Apple ID.
    He keeps senindg me links to iTunes terms and conditions - I can't listen to music purchased from Apple on my Apple dvices also purchased from Apple. How can iTunes Ts & Cs justify that?
    I've decided to a go a differnt route and report a problem via iTunes and see if I get a more helpful support guy.

  • I downloaded apps purchased with another Apple ID. But my data is missing. What can I do to get them back? I have a different iCloud id.

    I downloaded apps purchased with another Apple ID. But my data is missing. What can I do to get them back? I have a different iCloud id.

    All apps are tied forever to the Apple ID used to obtain them, that is also true with In-App purchases.
    Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
