Is it possible to transfer music from one iTunes account to another?

I have a daughter who is still 14 months away from being 13 and so cannot have her own iTunes account. If I buy music for her under my account, can I later transfer it to her account when she is 13?? Any other idea on how to manage it?

Choose Consolidate Library from the Advanced menu in iTunes, confirm this action, open the Advanced section of the iTunes preferences, check the path for the iTunes library, and move the folder at that path to the corresponding location on the new computer, using any method necessary to transfer the data.

    You can give the person a copy of the song files, which they can then add to their iTunes library.

  • How to transfer music from one itunes account to another on the same computer

    How do I transfer iTunes music to another comp account on the same comp. I have Windows 7 and I made my own Windows account. all of my music is on the iTunes on the other admin. account. So how do i transfer all of my stuff on iTunes to my own account? I've tried going into Preferences then advance but that's not doing anything. I signed into my account on iTunes but that didn't seem to help. Please give me something simple and not too long. I'm trying to do this as quick as possible lol. thanks in advance!
    I'm running the lastest iTunes. I just upgraded it today.

    Move the music files or the entire iTunes library to a shared folder.
    If you moved individual files, open iTunes from the desired account and drag them to the library in the iTunes application window.
    If you moved the entire library, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose that instance of it.

  • Can you transfer music from one iTunes account to another?

    I want to make another apple ID but I don't want to lose all my old music.

    Hmm.  I just discovered that quite some time ago I set up a second account.  Don't remember why, but just realized that some songs from my old account wouldn't sync to my new IPad.  Managed to get them synced by entering the old account ID (thank goodness it came up as a default).  But am wondering if there's any way to move those songs to my current ID.  I'm suspecting based on your first sentence above Roger that I can't.  That would really suck.  I know the next time I have to go through this process I will have forgotten that I have two IDs.

    How can I transfer funds from one itunes account to another?

    If they include a completely unspent gift card's balance, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put it back onto the card. Aside from this, it's not possible.

    If you haven't spent any of it, the iTunes Store staff can put the balance back onto the card, which can then be redeemed into another account.

  • 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.

  • Moving music from one iTunes account to another

    I have music that I bought using my dad's iTunes account but now I have my own and would like to move the music into my account, under my password. Is there a way to do this?

    Are you referring to an iTunes Store account? If so, it's not possible to transfer tracks from one iTunes Store account to another. You'll have to continue to use your dad's account ID and password to authorize any tracks purchased through that account.

  • Transfer music from one user account to another on the SAME mac?

    My family (wife, son, daughter, and me) share an imac but we all have our own user accounts. Our entire itunes music library is in one user account and is getting to the point of being unmanageable.
    Can I move some of my itunes library (e.g., my son's music) to another user account on the same iMac? Some songs were imported from CD and others were purchased from my Apple ID number.
    It's my understanding that an ipod can only be synced with one itunes library at a time, but I thought Apple also restricted the usage of music bought from itunes to a finite number of computers. If this is true, I think I would be able to transfer a group of songs from one user account to another so long as the user accounts were on the same computer.
    I was told that I could just drag the songs into a shared folder and then log into his account and drop them in iTunes.
    Some specific questions:
    1) Can I move all music files (CD and purchased) to the shared folder for dropping into his account?
    2)The purchased ones were purchased under MY apple ID which I do not want to give him access to. Should I create one for him or just have him use mine and wait for my password. I would like to put an allowance on his new ID number and keep it separate from mine. Would that make a difference in the future if I wanted to use one of his songs on my iPod or in an iMovie project?
    I just reinstalled my Lepoard OS X and put all my data back. I did not deauthorize anything before I did this. Did I need to? Or is even a clean install on the SAME machine ok and seen as the same authorization?
    Thanks in advance!!

    You can give him copies of song files, either by using a shared folder, or by putting the copies on a USB flash drive from which he can copy them to his own iTunes library.
    Any DRM-protected tracks that you have purchased from Apple can only be played if the user has authorization to the account(s) from which the tracks were purchased. Authorization requires physical access to the computer and knowledge of the password, and you can figure it from there!
