My wife and I share an iTunes account.  Can I transfer our music when I open a second iTunes account?

WWant to move want to copy music from one iTunes account to another.

Hello, Sharbs17.  
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
I understand that you want to transfer previously purchased music to a new Apple ID.  At this time all purchases made with that Apple ID will not be able to be transferred to the new Apple ID.  However, we have a new option to share music with other Apple IDs called Family Sharing.  Here is some more information regarding this feature.

  • My wife and I share the iPad. Can we set up separate accounts to log in (like on our Mac)?

    My wife and I share the iPad. Can we set up separate accounts to log in (like on our Mac)?

    Good question, but I'm 99.9% certain the answer is "no".  Here are some considerations:
    Think of the heritage of iOS.  It really started with iPhones and maybe iPods.  These devices cost a whole lot less than a Mac.  They are generally not thought of as shared (with exceptions, of course, as is true for you).
    Think of the backup process.  i-devices typically sync with one iTunes on one computer.  How would an i-device with multiple users enstantiate this?
    Anyway, all this is to say I'm convinced you cannot do what you're inquiring about.

  • I bought a new mac and my music in itunes didn't transfer over from my old cpu.  Most of it was put on with cd's I have. Can I transfer the music from my I-phone to itunes on my mac?

    It sounds like there's something amiss with either your ID or the new system you're using.  I've been using iTM on a Win7 and OSX SL system and have been able to upload and download to the Cloud on both.  I've been using them interchangeably for the last week or so.
    I would also recommennd giving Apple support a call, to see what they say.

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • If i create a new itunes account can i transfer my songs, games, movies, etc. to my new account

    If I create a new account can I transfer all of my songs, games, movies etc. to the new one?

    I know this is an old post, but I'm in a similar situation. I'm going to college this fall and I would like to have my own account going into my future.  I'm under my mom's account because that is how I first started out with my ipod a few years ago.  I don't want to be under my mom's account forever so this is a reason I want a new account while still keeping all the songs I've bought over the years.

  • My wife and I share an Ipad.   We each have our own email address and calendar.   What is the best way for us to backup both accounts (we currently only have 1 ICloud account)?   Thanks for any help!    Alan

    My wife and I each have our own email address and calendar.  These are on one IPad.   The Ipad has a single ICloud account.
    What's the best way to backup both Calendars, etc?   Does ICloud automatically back up every account on the same IPad?  (I checked ICloud, but I could only find my stuff.)
    Thanks for any help!
    Alan

    First, you need to understand that there's a difference between "syncing" and "backup".  Backup is the saving of content and settings, where syncing is the bidirectional transfer of content for an account to a web-based server (like iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
    If you see your calendar in your iCloud account, that implies that you have set up your iCloud account to host (sync) your calendar, and perhaps contacts, email, and notes.  An iCloud account can only sync one user's information at a time so it is intended to support a single user.  You can have more than one iCloud account, and you can even have more than one iCloud account on the same device (but one has to be primary, and the secondary iCloud has limited capabilities), but a single iCloud account only supports a single user's content.
    Backup is the saving of your device's content and settings to use in case you need to recover these things, but you can't see the contents of your backup (just the size and device name).  You can backup more than one device to iCloud and you can backup to iCloud or you can backup to your computer, or both (one at a time though, you have to choose). 
    So, if your wife has her own email and calendar she can certainly do that in parallel to whatever account(s) you have for email and calendar.  But if you have only one iCloud account then only one of you can use it for email, calendar, etc.  But the backup of these accounts is really just a backup of the device's settings that link the device to these accounts. For example, if she uses Gmail then the backup of the iPad only backs up the fact that your iPad is set up to use her account, it does not backup the account itself (the content of her account is saved and preserved on Google's servers, not your device's backup).
    Does that make better sense?

  • If I make a new iTunes account, can I transfer my music and apps to it?

    Okay so about 2 years ago, I went to my friend's house so that she could put music on my iPod and ever since then I've had an iTunes account through them (using their apple id to have a playlist, get apps, etc.) but recently I had tried to get a new app and when I entered the password for their account, it said that it was an incorrect password. I tried the password multiple times to see if I maybe typed it wrong but still there was no luck so my guess is that they changed the password forgetting that I was using the account, too.
    So basically I just made this iTunes account to ask this question and I'm onderin if I reconnect my iPod with this account will I be able to transfer my music? (If this helps, I have the iPod touch 4th generation)

    I'm not using their money like I don't have any of their songs or apps. Everything that I have I downloaded it myself. The apps are no problem if they can't be transferred because they're all free ones I just want to know if there's a way to sync the songs on my iPod that I physically downloaded myself to my new iTunes account.

    iDevices are not backup devices.
    Use the backup of the computer to put the content back on the computer.
    If not backup exists and the content was purchased via iTunes, connect the device and select File > Transfer purchases.  This will not restore playlists, playcounts or any other library specific data.
    If the media was not purchased via iTunes, search google for ways to extract it from the iPhone.
    Whatever you do, going forward make sure you back up your media and other important files regularly.

  • Hard drive crashed and I have no way to access my iTunes. Can I transfer my music from my iPhone to new computer

    My hard drive is dun. I'm get a new Mac. Can I put my music form my IPhone and iPod onto my new Mac.

    Hi,
    With a single user activation license, you can install Acrobat on two machines.
    If you want to install the software on third machine, then you might need to deactivate it from the old one.
    If the hard disk has crashed, then please contact Adobe Customer Service as they would be able to help you out for the same.

  • Bought teen a laptop, created her own itunes acct, can I transfer her music from my computer to her laptop/acct?

    I recently purchased my daughter a new laptop. She now has her own itunes account. Over the years she purchased songs, etc on my account and I want to transfer them to her laptop/ itunes acct and get them off mine,. Can this be done without using the home sharing?

    You'll want to start by authorizing her computer with the iTunes account used to purchase the media on your computer.
    In iTunes, click "Store", then select "Authorize This Computer".
    Keep iTunes open on both computers for the rest of the process.
    Open iTunes on her computer, on the left you should see your iTunes library under "Shared"
         If you don't see it then go to preferences on your computer and make sure that "Share my library on my local network" is turned on. That option is in: Edit>Preferences>Sharing.
    Now, on her computer, select your library and you'll be able to see a list of everything in your library. (You can click the little arrow next to your computer's library on her iTunes to sort by media type.) Select the media you want to copy to her computer and click "Import". Now just wait until it's done, then if you want to remove it from your computer just right-click on it, on your computer, and select "Delete".

  • How can i transfer the music on my ipod to my itunes folder?

    Hi there, i've had my ipod for about a year now and am very happy with it, but there is a small problem. Due to a virus, i had to change my hardrive on my pc, meaning i lost all my itunes songs, except i remembered i still had my ipod with all the songs on it.
    The only thing is, i havent been able to transfer the songs from my ipod to my itunes after i plugged my ipod in.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how i can get them back on again?
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iRepo Mac and Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
