Is it possible to transfer songs from a separate iTunes account into a new one?

I have a lot of songs saved on my Dad's mac under his apple ID.  I'd like to transfer the songs I've purchased/imported on his computer onto mine.  Is this possible through possibly the iCloud?  I'd like to avoid having to burn them all to a disc or what have you.

If the use the same Apple ID/iTunes account they can share the iTunes purchases.
If the Rahapsody songs are regular, non-DRM/Copy protected the just import them into your iTunes library and then sync

  • HT5312 How can I transfer money from an old iTunes account to my new one?

    I got a new iTunes account because the old one kept asking me for security questions. I don't remember them so I went to the support page and tried to reset them but it wouldn't let me click on boxes to put in my information. All I want is to get the money from my old account to my new. And I don't know what to do. Help?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    Getting the money transferred requires using the form, and that you still have the gift card it came from, and that none of that card's balance has been spent.

  • HT1918 how do I transfer purchases from an old itunes account to a new one?

    I recently bought a new Macbook and just transfered my iTunes library from my old one by using an external hard drive.  It turns out that a lot of my music was bought through an old itunes account and I can't remember the password for that account so as to authorize my new computer.  I have since started a new account and want to know if there's a way I can move what I purchased through my old account into my current account.  Help! 

    Sorry, but you cannot transfer purchases from one iTunes Store account to another. You'll need to continue to use that old account ID for authorizations and re-downloads. If you can't remember the password, you should be able to reset it through this web page:

  • 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!!!

  • How do I transfer songs on my Iphone4 from a different Itunes account to a new one?

    I downloaded ITunes onto my laptop today and created a new itunes account. The itunes i was using before existed on on my PC in a server that has now been deleted so now, the external files where i saved my music is gone. i do not download my music off of itunes. i use a youtube converter. I have all of my music in my phone still and i've downloaded new songs onto my laptop and i have synced them onto itunes, but i cannot sync the new music into my phone without deleting all of the music that's already there.

  • I have two itunes accounts - one i had on my original pc and then one i created with my Mac. Is it possible to add the library from the old iTunes account to my new one

    I have two itunes accounts. One is an old one with a substnantial library attached and one is much newer which I created with my new Mac. Is it possible to merge the two libtaries into my new account?

    You can merge the two libraries but not the accounts. Each account is a separte entity.
    You are likely best to use the older account as that is where a bulk of the purchases are from. If the file is a unprotected purchase then it doesn't matter. If the content is DRM encoded then you will need to authorize your computer to both accounts as needed. All new music purchases are DRM free but video is still DRM encoded.
    There is no reason to create a new iTunes or Mac App Store account if you get a new computer.

  • How do I move my music from an old iTunes account to a new one?

    I want to start a new itunes account for my daughter now that she is a teen so that we dont get all each others music. How do I get her 500  songs onto her own new itunes account without having to repurchase them all?

    Only the iTunes Store staff can do that if it's possible at all.

  • How can I import playlists, ratings, and play counts from an old iTunes library into a new one?

    After reading countless threads re: how to get the iTunes artwork screensaver to work, I decided to delete my iTunes library file and reimport all of music which resulted in fixing the iTunes artwork screensaver.  Unfortunately (and expectedly), my playlists, playcounts, and other information were lost with the creation of a new library.  Is there any way to import the playlists, ratings and play counts for my music from an old library file to my current one?  I realize this may be complex, but I'm up for the task.
    Thanks in advance,
    B

    I can't begin to describe how frustrating the screensaver issue has been for me (and I suspect countless others, judging by the number of threads on the topic). 
    I took your advice, though, just to test it.  After backing up my current library.itl, I copied and pasted the old .itl file into its place.  As expected the playlists, play counts, etc were instantly restored.  And now the screensaver fails to work with the dreaded error 'No iTunes artwork found' which makes me think it IS an issue with the old library file.  The only work around I've seen so far is to rebuild the library (which I did). 
    I'm afraid I'm going to be forced into choosing either a working screen saver or all my itunes data.  Very frustrating indeed.
    Here's a link to the 'definitive' fix for the screensaver, if you're interested.

  • Is it possible to transfer songs from your ipod to my computer?

    is it possible to transfer songs from your ipod to my computer?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • How do I transfer songs from my daughters itunes library onto my ipod?  We both have itunes libraries on a single computer running Windows Vista

    How do I transfer songs from my daughters itunes library onto my ipod?  We both have itunes libraries on a single computer running Windows Vista

    Your question has probaby been answered already because it was posted a month ago but anyways what you do is you plug your phone into your computer. Next you want to open iTunes and click on File. Then you go down to "Transfer Purchases from *your name* iPhone". Then just wait for it to sync and you should be good.

  • Any way to transfer songs from iPhone TO iTunes on MacBook Pro?

    I'm an idiot.  I'm just going to say that up front.  I feel that's fair for all who venture here.
    I've had a terrible time with an update..and I wasn't able to get iTunes to acknowledge/recognize my iPhone or iPod once I ran and installed the current update.  While trying to get my iPhone/iPod to be recognized, I did a lot of removing/uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes.  During this mess.....I somehow DELETED MY ENTIRE iTunes LIBRARY!!!  The whole thing.  I have no idea how.
    I thought I had been backing up....and thought I had Time Machine so I was safe.  I was wrong.  I won't even ask about Time Machine here....I've already disclosed I'm an idiot. 
    I am finally able to get iTunes to acknowledge my iPhone.  Thank goodness.  But, now......I have Songs and Playlists on my iPhone that aren't on iTunes.
    Is there any way to transfer songs from iPhone TO iTunes? 
    Thanks!

  • Can anyone help transfer songs from itouch to itunes?

    Can anyone help transfer songs from itouch to itunes?
    Stupidly I deleted all my music from my laptops music folder: I was doing a spring clean and wrongly thought that all the music was duplicated stored in itunes itself.
    Anyway I have all my music on my ipod touch I need now to reverse sync this music back to my itunes.
    I know that the solution is to transfer from my itouch>my laptop>my itunes library.
    The problem I have is that my computer is not recognising my itouch; it is however showing up in the itunes programme, but not under my computer.
    Does anyone know how I should proceed.

    Try uninstalling iTunes from your computer, then re-installing it. Then once loaded back on (it still won't have your songs), click on  the iTunes Store and log in. Then plug in your iPod, then right-click it on the bar on the left side of the screen, then click "Transfer Purchases". It then should sync all of your songs, movies, TV shows, and Apps to your computer.
    Hope this helps.
