IPod to iTunes transferring from different account

Okay so i ran out of money on my itunes account so i used my moms to get Scheibe by Lady GaGa, i downloaded it on my ipod touch. I need to transfer it to my computer but it wont let me. I tried authorizing my itunes with her account and signing in on the itunes store with hers and it still wont transfer. Anyone know what i can do? I have iOS 4.3.3 and Windows 7 and iTunes 10.2.2.12

No. You need his or her ID and password in order to update the app. You can either continue to use the app as is, or download it again using your ID.
If the books were purchased using your ID, I don't see why you would lose those purchases. They will still be tied to your ID and that has nothing to do both the app itself. You should absolutely transfer the books into iTunes on your computer before you try reinstalling the app on you iPad. This explains how to transfer purchases.

You should be able to sync the books back to your iPad if a thing goes wrong. However if you are using the books on the iPhone and you downloaded iBooks using your own ID on the phone, that proves to me that this should not be a problem. At least, that's the way that I see this situation. Hopefully someone else will come along and either reaffirm what I am saying, or slap me down if I am incorrect. Heaven knows it wouldn't be te first time that has happened.

How do I transfer my itunes library from different mac user accounts?

I was planning to make a new user account (not itunes) for myself on my mac since my other is completely screwed up, but if i do this i will lose my itunes account. How do i transfer my library from the old user account to the new one.

Using administrator status on the computer you should be able to move the whole iTunes folder from one account to the other. Put it in the equivalent music folder.
You may need to adjust user permissions on the folder and everything in it so it belongs to the new user. Read the part about changing permissions on the iTunes folder in: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11583914

Cant authorize from different accounts

I have a lot of songs from different accounts. Whenever I try to put new songs on my ipod it gives me the error message that I need to authorize all 3 of my accounts or it will take 172 of my songs off my ipod. But when I put the correct password in for each one, it acts like it understood but still won't let me sync anything. Even if I put the passwords in millions of times, it STILL asks me again and again. I've tried everything from this specific itunes help page but nothing worked. Is there anything else I can do or am I helpless?
Thanks.

That's weird. I have multiple accounts in my itunes and only need to authorize once on each machine/reformat.
This was probably not so helpful, but anyways..:)

How do I transfer Itune credit from one account to another?

My father mistakingly put $50 into his account and thought he could transfer most to me (as he won't be needing the full amount). Is there any new updates as to transferring Itunes credit from one account to another. If not, Is there a way where i can use my personal devices, and use the Itunes credit that my father won't be neeing?
Thank you in advance.
J

Either ask the iTunes Store staff to put the entire balance back onto the card, or your father to pay you an amount equal to the credit he won't need.

How do i transfer iTunes money from one account to another

how do i transfer iTunes money from one account to another? also forgot security question answers

You can't, an account's balance cannot be transferred to another account, nor can it be used to gift content to another account - it can only be used to buy content for the account that it's on.
For your security questions, if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then you can use that to reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset, and if you don't already have a rescue email address, you can then add one for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

I need to remove my sons ipod and e-mail from my account how do I do it?

I need to remove my sons ipod and e-mail from my account how do I do it?

So, why do you think it is attached? Have you tried to set up a new Apple ID for him using his email address? Give it a go to see if you can. Once you have set it up, then that is what he would use to sign in to the iTunes Store on his iPod or when he was on the computer where your iTunes library is (or where his iTunes library is).
Here's the link to create a new Apple ID:

Let me know how it works out or if you have other questions!

TS4147 How do I resolve duplicates resulting from contacts created from different accounts?

I have duplicate contacts in my address book. I discovered by merging that the duplicate contacts were created from different accounts. How do I ID the account the contact was created from? Note: the duplicates are in my address book only. I do not have any duplicates on iCloud.
Brian

This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.

HT2486 I recently updated to Lion, when I accessed my address book I now have duplicates of cards that are in my contacts and groups. When I try to merge it says they come from different accounts. Any suggestions?

I recently updated to Lion, some of my groups lost members and when I add them back in I get duplicate and even more of the same card. I am not allowed to merge the because the msg says they come from different accounts, any suggestions?

You likely have them in both the On My Mac account and the iCloud account. I deleted all from my On My Mac account except the ones I didn't want iClouded. Did the opposite on the iCloud account.

IPhone Mail Sending from Different Accounts

I have taken a look and cannot see anything on this topic - but I am having trouble with my iPhone sending emails from different accounts.
I have 5 IMAP accounts setup for different emails. When I go to send from one account, it seems to send from my GMail account (which is first in my email list), this is also true for when I reply or forward emails from any of the 4 other accounts.
I thought this might be due to the default mail option in the settings, so I changed this to another account but it was still all sending from my GMail account. When I turned the GMail account off - all accounts worked fine independently.
Has anyone experienced this and know if its a setting somewhere? or a problem in general?
Many thanks

I am not sure - but I have had to disable the GMail for now so that I can send and forward from my other accounts. Its rather annoying that its defaulting to sending from the GMail account.
Do you think deleting the account and then re-adding it will make any difference?

Put itunes downloaded from different computers on same ipod?

Hello,
I have downloaded itunes onto two different computers using the same account. How do I put these itunes onto my ipod without deleting any content? Thanks, Jake.

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer change the update setting on your iPod to manual. Connect your iPod to the computer you are using it on now an in iTunes go to Edit>Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing Your Songs Manually
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

Transfering between different account names from OSX 10.5 to OSX10.6

Hi,
Is it possible to transfer all the settings, documents etc, between two different account names on OSX 10.6 ? I have set up some accounts on some staff laptops, and some of them will wish to transfer their data from their old Mac to their new Mac.
Some users account names will differ betwwen OSX 10.5 and OSX 10.6
I know this is possible with Windows 7 having just done it...Is it possible with OSX 10.6?

Hi,
Thanks I'll try your suggestion.
With regard to your comment on the staightjacket... I think you'll also find that most IT Managers would disagree and suggest that a uniform setup is best, especially for users logging into a network.
I understand that some people want to be different, and whilst I agree that some difference is a requirement ofusing a computer, the basics should remain the same, such as the users login name. We allow staff the freedom to do what they wish outside these boundaries, which is alot better that some Colleges I have see, who tie the laptop down making it impossible to even install a application.
I do appreciate your comments. They are food for thought, and I will see if we are able to assist the staff the way you have suggested. Thanks again.

Sharing & Managing iTunes libraries from different countries

Hi Everyone,
I would like some help on sharing and managing content from different iTunes libraries from two difference countries please.
I have:
1 x iPod and its library from the UK (and its UK Apple ID)
2 x iPhone 5's and their libraries from the US (and their US Apple ID's)
I appreciate there are restrictions due to each country's laws so what I want may not work, however, ideally I want it so I can have all three of our libraries in one iTunes library and then both my wife and I can choose which songs we want on our iPhones and iPods.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Any help much appreciated - cheers!

Thanks Guys.
What you said worked - cheers!
The only thing that didn't was transferring my UK music to USA iPhone. Unless you know otherwise, I assume because I paid for UK music in UK, trying to then play it on a USA iPhone won't work......or is there a workaround?
The fact I've paid for it legally in one country surely shouldn't be a problem playing it on a device?
Or should I create a brand new Apple ID and library - would that help?
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
Y2J,
The problem is much more likely to be the multiple Apple IDs than the multiple countries. Do not start yet one more.
If all the music is in one library located on your computer, but certain songs won't sync, pls post details of the problem and maybe someone here can help troubleshoot.

Sharing iTunes libraries from two accounts on the same physical box

I have two users set up for fast user switching on a single box. both users are active. each has its own copy of iTunes running, each with its own library, each set up to share. the firewall has iTunes sharing enabled.
from a separate copy of iTunes on a different box, I can see both libraries posted for sharing. if I try to open one of them (belonging to the administrator account), sharing works as advertised. if I try to open the other, loading times out, and the share fails with error code 3359.
is the problem that only one copy of iTunes on a physical box can be shared at a time? or is there some other configuration issue I've not taken account of?
thanks
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5) iTunes 6.0.3

thanks for your response.
if you've submitted a feature request, it may be a lost cause for the moment. what I find, however, is that if both are logged on and active, it's the one that started first that's available.
regards.

Will updating my iPad on an iTunes with a different account delete my apps?

My mom bought this iPad and created an iTunes account for it, and has since never touched it. I want to update it, but it's not synced to my computer nor are all the purchases on my account. As far as I know, it has never been synced to a computer since its purchase. I use it daily, and there's a ton of content on here that I can't risk losing. In order to retain my content during the update, do I have to sync it to a computer whose iTunes is the same account as the iPad? Thanks.

Not quite that simple. Syncing transfers data from the iTunes library to the iPad. And if there's nothing in the iTunes library, that's what you end up with in your iPad... You need to transfer your Mum's iTunes library to your new computer before you sync.

Send and receive mail from different accounts.

I'm new to everything and I just posted this in the iPod forum, but I'm now thinking it belongs here.
How do I receive mail from my Gmail account and send from another account?
I have the incoming server as an IMAP and it works fine. The outgoing mail server is the problem. It's set up as a different username and everything, and it STILL sends it through my GMail account. I deleted the outgoing smtp gmail server with no success. What should I do?
Thanks!

Ernie,
You beat me to the punch... I was just about to reply with a follow-up asking if there was a way to do just that. Looks like I may need to use the separate accounts option in order to allow my to have Full Name information that is more helpful. For now, it won't be a problem because I only need 2 different addresses. If that changes in the future, however, I can see how it would be a problem.
It would be simple if I could add a comma-separated list of Full Names in the Full Name field (in the same order as the list of addresses) and have them match up.
Hmmm... might have to try that, just to see if it would work!
Thanks again.
