Is it possible for me to transfer my purchases from one Apple ID to another?

Hello.  I currently have two Apple ID accounts.  I want to keep my iCloud account and just use that one as my Apple ID.  I want to delete one that I have linked to a diffrent email address.  Before I do this, I would like to know if I could transfer my purchases on the other ID to my iCloud Apple ID.  Or is this not possible?

No.
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.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

    I have an old apple id which is linked to a gmail account.  I have made many purchases from it.  I would like to make a new account, how can i transfer the purchases from the old account to the new one?
    Thanks

    This is not possible... Anything Obtained with a Particular ID is tied to that ID...

  • Can I transfer my purchases from one Apple ID to another?

    Hi,
    I have all my iTunes purchases (music, apps etc) under an Apple ID that I have been using for work purposes. I have now invested in a MAC at home and created a new Apple ID for home use. Is there a way of transferring my purchases from my work Apple ID to my home Apple ID?
    Thanks, Paz

    How about transferring total ownership of apple id?

  • How can I transfer my purchases from one Apple ID to another?

    I would like to consolidate all my wife's and my purchases into one existing Apple ID on our computer so we can share apps, music, books, etc.
    I spoke with your Support Team who said this was possible if completing a particular form and requesting this formally with specific accounts and list of desired transfered purchases.
    Do anyone know where this form is and has anyone been successful in doing it?

  • How do I transfer music purchases from one apple id to another

    I purchased music from Itunes years ago with an old apple id and old email address.  I am trying to play that music in my Itunes on my Dell Win7 laptop that uses a new apple id, and though the computer is authorized, it is authorized under the new apple id.  When I try to play the music, a box with the old apple id comes up, asking for a password.  I click 'Forgot' and am taken to a new screen that asks for my date of birth.  I enter it, and I get a big red message that this does not match there records.
    I know the old apple id, but not the password, and the email address that was used for that apple id is no longer a valid email address for me.  The FAQ indicate that I should be able to authorize the music for multiple apple id's, but it does not say 'how'.
    I tried changing the apple id and password to the new one when I tried to play the music, and nothing happened.  I can play the music that I added to itunes from cd's but not the purchased music.
    I don't think this matters, but just in case it does:  I have a new iphone 6 that is authorized for my new apple id, but my issue right now is authorizing music on my laptop.  I'll tackle syncing the iphone with itunes on my laptop next.

    You can’t. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

  • I can't transfer a purchase from one apple ID to another?

    OK, so I have my apple ID and then my friend and I have one that we share. Well, I bought a movie on the ID that we share but I couldn't download it to my phonne because I don't have enough room. However, I would still like it in my iTunes. I am signed into my personal iTunes account because I had the majority of my music on there. How can I get the movie to transfer from our joint account to my personal account without it being on my phone? I tried clicking transfer purchases and it transfered some of the other movies we have on the account which werent on my phone, but it won't download the one I want.

    Any purchase is permanently attached to the ID it was purchased with (or gifted to if it was a gift). Sign in to the account you want to download from then go to the iTunes Store home page > Quick Links > Purchased > Movies > Not on this computer and download.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible for me to transfer the purchases from my old itunes account to my new one? I would like to keep all of my music, movies, tv shows etc.

    I just created a new Apple ID that is different from my old one. Is it possible for me to transfer the purchases from my old account to my new one? I would like to keep all of my music, movies, tv shows etc.

    It doesn't matter what your AppleID is - you can just change the email address associated with it at http://appleid.apple.com/ as mentioned numerous times above.
    Okay, my former Apple ID = my former email address and the latter is dead because I moved out of the geographic area.
    If you just updated the email address associated with your AppleID you wouldn't have to sign in twice.
    I guess Apple Inc is wrong because that is EXACTLY what they stated when I called yesterday afternoon.  SIGN IN TWICE when I activate Apple TV and want to watch/listen to my legitimate purchases when my iMac is OFF.
    Your only problem is the fact you didn't safely store the password to your account and subsequently forgot it.
    Wrong ... my only PROBLEM, SIR, is that my bride, my wife of over 51 years died in my arms at 4:16 AM on December 27, 2012.  As a direct result, I decided to get the **** out of the city where my Nancy and I lived for **** near 20 years.
    On the outside chance it is of interest to you, she is buried at Arlington National Cemetery, Section 66, based on my faithful military service during 1961 -> 1981 ... including Vietnam during 1967.

    Part of this PROBLEM, SIR, is that Apple Inc refuses to merge my old purchases with my new one.
    SHAME ON YOU!!!

  • Can I transfer calendar data from one Apple ID to another?

    Just realized that my calendars and email were all sharing one Apple ID with my husband which is problematic because I want my own devices syncing up properly. I've set up my own Apple ID, but before I activate it on my devices I want to be sure I don't lose all the data. Can I transfer a calendar from one Apple ID to another and if so, can I do this from the devices themselves or do I need my desktop?
    I've read some earlier related posts and they don't seem to answer this question clearly for me.
    Thanks so much!

    You will probably need to do this on your Mac; I'm not sure it's possible on an iPhone. You have to deal with one calendar at a time.
    Select a calendar listed under your husbands iCloud login name.
    From the File menu choose Export...>Export. An .ics file will be saved at your designated destination.
    Repeat this for any other calendars.
    Sign out in System Preferences>iCloud and sign in with your own ID. Your calendars and other data will disappear from your Mac but not from the server.
    From the File menu choose 'New Calendar' then your iCloud login name in the sub menu.
    A new calendar called 'Untitled' will appear in your sidebar under your iCloud login name. Change its name to that of the calendar you exported.
    From the File menu choose 'Import...' then 'Import...' from the sub-menu. A navigation pane will open: navigate to and choose your exported .ics file.
    iCal will ask you where to import this to. Click the drop-down menu and select the iCloud version of your calendar (make sure not to choose the 'On My Mac' version). Import.
    Your calendar contents will appear in the iCloud version of the calendar but this may take some time. You need to leave iCal running until the rotating icon at the top of the sidebar disappears.
    Repeat 5-9 for other calendars.

  • Transfer iTunes content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID

    I have recently set up a second Apple ID so that I can separate content I want my kids to be able to access and other content that I don't want them to see (eg particular TV shows and movies) and have set up a separate computer through that I want to load with content suitable for them.  Is it possible for me to transfer content purchased on iTunes from one Apple ID/iTunes account to a different one?  Are there any tips/tricks for this?  Any problems or watch-outs?  Thanks.

    Hi H.E. Bear,
    Sorry, but iTunes purchases are forever tied to the Apple ID that they were purchased under. There is no way to transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another.
    You can, however, Authorize that original ID to the new computer (along with the new one for the kids). Once you have Authorized it, you can transfer selected purchases into the iTunes Library on that computer:

    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.

  • Is it possible to transfer all files from one Apple ID to another

    Hello,
    For work I currently use an iPad Air (iOS 8.1.3) and just recently upgraded to a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.10.2) . The only issue is that I will be using a different Apple ID on the MacBook then I was using on the iPad. My question is, is it possible to transfer all of my pages documents from one Apple ID to another all at one time or will I have to manually share each document with myself. If there is a way, would it be possible on the iPad app, the MacBook app or on the iCloud website.
    Thanks for your time and help

    No, it is not possible. All purchased items under one Apple ID are permanently connected to it. They cannot be transferred to another Apple ID. You can, however, repurchase the items under your new Apple ID.
    You can always call Apple to see if they can be of help.
