Implement a way to transfer from a Spotify account created using Facebook to a Spotify only account

I have noticed an increase in posts recently relating to people who wish to deactivate their Facebook accounts, but if they do so they will also loose access to their Spotify account, since it was created using their Facebook details. 
There should be an easy way to change your Spotify account, from a Spotify account which is tied to Facebook, to a Spotify (email only) account without the need to go through the quite long process outlined in my tutorial here. 
This relates quite closely to being able to change your username idea, but I think this is different issue!
Please please please implement this!
Peter

 
Thanks so much to everyone!
At the moment, we're unable to implement the idea suggested above for a few reasons. As a few of you have noticed, our system currently doesn't support the changing of usernames since playlists are tied to usernames. Many folks who created accounts via Facebook before we implemented an email registration option would like the option to "transfer" their account to another.
You can indeed follow the instructions in Peter's aforementioned guide to transfer your account. Moreover, we understand the want for a simpler way to move to an email created an account instead of a Facebook created account. However, we won't implement an option to "transfer" your account at this time.
If you have any questions about how to transfer your account, follow Peter's guide for the quick fix or contact customer support.

  • Is there a way to transfer or copy all my apps to another iPad with a different account? I was required in my job to use the one at work, but I would like to also see my current set ups and apps as in my personal one. Thank you so much!

    Is there a way to transfer or copy all my apps to another iPad with a different account? I was required in my job to use the one at work, but I would like to also see my current set ups and apps as in my personal one. Thank you so much!

    What I suggest is that you try to pair your apple ID with you company ipad and see if it works.
    Here is why::
    I believe that the Apple rules let you. They are something like:
    -- for a shared iDevice, you may put the app on one device
    -- for a device you use exclisively, you may put the app on five (or some number) of iDevices
    I'm not lawyer, so how you interpred this is a question.
    Now, you need to figure out how to do this.
    In the past at least, apple used this terminalogy.
        Personal
        Institution
        Layered. combines personal & institution.
    It depends on how your company has configured the iPad.
    I have read where you can have upto three apple id per device.

  • How to embed and launch ipa file from another ipa package created using Air for iOS

    Hi Guys,
    Anybody out there knowing how to embed and launch ipa file from another ipa package created using Air for iOS ?
    I am having 1 ipa file created using Xcode, Now i need to include that file in my ipa Package which is created using Flash CS 5.5 and Air for iOS. Also i need to know how to open my 1st ipa file from AS3 ?
    Thanks,

    Hi Sir,
    Thanks for your reply.
    But in that case user need to download 2 applications right. I need user to download my parent application created using Flash and that package contain one more ipa created using Xcode, so from my parent app only user should able to open my 2nd app. Is there any way to do that?
    Ps:  I am not talking about in-app but 2 individual apps inside one package.

  • Easiest way to transfer from 1 MacB to new MacB

    I have a MacBook Pro version 10.4.9 and I just bought a new one with tons of new features, but it's 17'' MacBook Pro. I am somewhat capabale of doing medium range computer tasks, but what my question is is what is the easiest/least complicated/safest way to transfer material from my old MB to my new MacBook?

    Thanks that helped a lot. I see where that is in my Utilities folder but just to help me understand a bit better...
    Step one: connect firewire cable
    Step two: open Migration Assistant
    ORRRR,
    Step one: connect FW cable
    Step two: "start up in Target Mode and transfer the files across individually" --- what exactly does that mean?
    And which is easier or more time efficient.

  • Is there any way to transfer from my itouch directly to my ipad?

    Just received my new ipad2.  Is there any way I can transfer from my itouch to the ipad without having to go through my pc?

    You can't transfer directly between an iPad and an iPod because Apple didn't include that functionality. Although it's possible to use an iPad without hooking it up to a computer after the initial set up, it's not recommended, especially by Apple. Without a computer, you have no way to back up your device and no way to update the system software. If you chose to use your iPad in a way Apple didn't intend, you're going to experience some limitations.
    Best of luck.

  • Best way to transfer from 13MBP to Retina MBP

    I have a Retina MBP on the way and I'm trying to figure out the best way to transfer data to it from my Mid 2010 13" MBP (Firewire but no Thunderbolt).
    Would the new Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor allow me to enable Target Disk Mode and transfer? As this adaptor doesn't appear to be available yet, in the UK Store at least, would anyone be kind enough to offer any other suggestions?
    Many thanks,
    Mishaal

    That is a good question and I would ask some one at a genius bar if they have the answer.  If not and you have the adapter, try Migration Assistant or Target disk mode.  If that does not work, then there is the tedious drag and drop from an external HDD.
    Ciao.

    Hi,
    OMG! I know how it feels when we got our all contacts in a tabular formatted file which is created in excel, CSV formatted file and unfortuntealy all the blackberry phones arre abel to rectify only vCard formatted file. This is the reason when i was facing the same problem than at that point of time i find out a simple and free download software which can convert contacts from excel to vCard file format. here is the complete step by step instructions http://www.exceltovcard.onlinetechaid.com/ and you can download it free.  after converting contacts you just have to follow a simple set of instructions which i am going to mention it below and you are able to use all these contacts in your curve or also in another Blackberry phone. so the instructions are :
    (i) Copy all the contacts in your Memory Card.
    (ii)  Now open your file manager
    (iii) select memory card
    (iv) open the location where you save all the contacts in vCard formatted file
    (v) Now click on options in your blackberry phone select "Select All"
    (vi) After that click on addd to contacts.
    Just try these simple way and you are able to use all your contacts in your Blackberry phone and make your life simple.

  • Move email from Inbox to Local Folder using Message Filter moves header only, not contents.

    I created a Message Filter to move email from Inbox to a Local Folder based on Date. The email headers were moved, but not the contents. Since I'm using IMAP, all the emails were deleted from the server.
    I searched for similar problems and I followed one suggestion to "repair" one of the target Local Folders, but that made things worse. Now the header information (Subject, From, Date (now set to the date the transfer was done, not the email received date) is all blank.
    The Local Folder properties indicate the email is contained in
    mailbox:///C:/Users/Ted/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/c65xcqqf.default/Mail/Local Folders/Archives.sbd/2010
    I can see the messages from other Local Folders here, but the ones "moved" are empty.
    Should this location be changed?
    Is there some way to recover the email contents?

  • Want to save high volume of photos while traveling from ipad to external hard drive. Is there a way to transfer from iPad to directly to external HD using any adpators, connections etc ? I don't see a way yet.

    I am a photographer now using iPhonea4 and iPad2. I will be travelling and want to store images on an external HD. How can I transfer the images off of iPad2> I have the AV adpaters. Can it be done? I can easily transfer to my Desktop while I am home but this is testing the idea of travelling with and backing up images on the fly while on the road.

    No they will not come from an SD card.
    I wanted to only have to carry the iPhone4 and not the large DSLR. I usually shott with the iPhone and then transfer to the iPad for processing. Images mount up very quickly. I understand about wi-fi, Dropbox, clouds and photosynch. I was looking for a way to go directly from iPad2 to an external harddrive like WD passport which I am using at home.
    I would appreciate any suggestions but so far do not see any provision for storage on the fly.

  • HT204350 I,m going to change my Mac mini server and time capsule at the same time what's the best way to transfer from both of my old machines

    I've just purchased a new Mac mini server and also a new time capsule is there any easy way to ghost or transfer the new machines at the same time or is it best to do one at a time?

    I have no direct experience transferring a TC and computer at the same time, but prudence tells me to do one, test to be sure it is correct only then do the other. It will take twice as long from process start to finish, but avoids any nasty surprises at process end. In close to 40 years experience, I have never seen a "crash conversion" (everything at the same time) that did not have at least one major disaster. I am sure it can happen but the odds are heavily against it. Patience is a virtue!

  • Best way to transfer from mid 2012 macbook pro retina to new mid 2014 macbook pro

    I'm updating to a new 2014 macbook pro.  am i better off using a migration assistant from one to another, or restoring from Time Machine (with ethernet to thunderbolt adapter)?  Or some other method?
    thanks,
    ptkmac

    I have used the Setup Assistant during setup of OS X and I would use a current Time Machine back up to point to during Setup Assistant. I have also manually copied data and apps over from another Mac while on my network. Both take some time and both were equally successful.
    So, you have a choice after backing up your current Mac:
    Have both Macs on your network, run setup on your new Mac and afterwards manually copy files from the old to the new Mac.
    Run setup on your new Mac and use the Setup Assistant to migrate from a Time Machine back up all your user accounts, data and settings.
    Question on a similar line except I wanted to partition the drive that came on the new Mid 2014 MBPro (2.8 GHz, 1 TB SSD, 16 GB RAM).  Migrating from the old computer b/u seems pretty straight forward, but once the drive that come with the new MBPro is partitioned an install of OS X needs to be done.  Here's what I did, I installed the Mavericks I had purchased from the App Store when it came out.  Now, from reading here in the Communities, some have indicated the shipped Mavericks version is not the same as the App Store version.  Now that the shipped Mavericks is history (after the partitioning) should I try somehow to restore that from the Recovery HD/process?  Or ???
    This isn't my first rodeo, so I just went full speed ahead and did the partitioning and copied the former MBPro (early 2011) disk created by Carbon Copy Cloner over to the new boot partition.  It was suggested that an Erase and Install OS X could be done, but I don't see how that would bring the shipped Mavericks version for this new MBPro, unless the Recovery HD suite of utilities would go and grab that from Apple via Internet; which would be fairly lengthy since it would be via Internet connection.
    I'll back up a bit here for a second... I"m not experiencing any problems (kernel panics, etc.) but not sure if the system now is as it should be.  Hindsight being what it is I should have made a CCC copy of the shipped volume of Mavericks; if this is an issue. 
    The system seems to be running fine, and some of my "issues" (for lack of a better term) could be just the way the new Mid 2014 MBPro is handling things - like memory allocation (i.e. using close to the 16 GB most of the time) and kernel_task using 1 GB of memory - more at times).  Possibly if I wasn't a regular watcher of Activity Monitor I would just be plodding along, since the system seems to be working fine.  Occasionally some apps or their processes take a longer than I feel is what should be normal to do, hence looking at the Activity Monitor to see what is going on.
    Sorry for the long ramble.  Trying to see if I really have a problem that would necessitate a reinstall of Mavericks via Recovery HD; which could take up some valuable computer work time (which I'm also using posting here <grin>).
    Thanks in advance for any ideas, suggesting, etc.  Also, to the person who posted to my other question on this another thanks for those suggestions.  None of which I've done - yet.
    Take care all - and thank you again for  all the great minds who make these Community Boards work.

  • Easiest way to transfer from an old PC (xp) to new iMac??

    I have been trying to read how migration assistant could help me, but I can't figure out how to connect the 2 computers together. I was hoping an Ethernet cable would work but not if I need to figure out complex addresses and type that in somewhere. Whats the easiest thing I can do? Want to move my photos, some,music and documents. And hopefully my mail stuff if thats possible. Any advice would be awesome.

    The simple way would be to copy your data to an external hard drive then connect the drive to your iMac to transfer your data via migration assistant.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518
