Please help retrieve apps from previous apple ID account

My grandson originally set up my iPad with his iTunes ID. I have recently switched to my own apple ID but accidentally erased PAID apps that I bought under his apple ID. How do I get them back into my account. He doesn't want them and I do.  I've seen that there is a way to gift apps but it seems that you can only gift an app as u purchase. ?..  What can I do?.

You can't get the apps back. You can never transfer them to your account. He bought the apps with his ID and they never really belonged to you. That is not how the terms of the iTunes/App Store/iBookstore work. Purchases are tied to the ID that was used to purchase them.
If you sign into his ID on your iPad, in Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID - you will be able to download them again at no charge since you are using his ID. But ... You will lock yourself out of your own ID for 90 days.

  • Add new email from previous Apple ID account

    Dear Apple,
    I would like to associate my email address with another account but it keeps telling me I'm already associated with another account. I have deleted the email address in question from all Apple ID accounts but it still won't work. Please assist.
    Kind regards

  • How do I transfer purchased apps from one Apple ID account to another?

    I noticed I was purchasing apps on my iphone using a different Apple ID.  Both use the same email address. 
    Here is what I want to do:
    1. Which account is older?  I don't remember which Apple ID I registered when I purchased my iPhone.  How can I find this out?
    2. I only want to keep one Apple ID.  How do I get rid of the other one?
    3. Before I "delete" the Apple ID, how do I transfer the contents (apps, songs)?  Do I transfer this to the other account?  Should I transfer this to a computer?  Do I download them to iTunes, and if so, under which account would be downloading them to?   I have heard you can burn songs onto a disc.  Can I also do this for apps? 
    Thanks again!

    1)  not sure.
    2 ) You don't.  you can stop using it, but everything purchased with it, will still be tied to it, and your computers will need to be authorized to that account.
    3)  "Before I "delete" the Apple ID, how do I transfer the contents (apps, songs)"  Transfer them from where to where?
    " Do I transfer this to the other account?"
    You cannot.
    " Do I download them to iTunes, and if so, under which account would be downloading them to?"
    Download them to itunes from where?  and you cannot download them to another account.  They will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
    "  I have heard you can burn songs onto a disc.  Can I also do this for apps? "
    You can back them up to a cd and transfer them between computers.
    What are you trying to accomplish?

  • Problems syncing back apps from my iPhone (coming from 2 Apple-ID accounts)

    Hi. I was previously purchasing my iPhone apps with an OLD Apple-ID.
    Some months ago I had to create a NEW Apple-ID (for reasons I'm not going into detail with).
    So far so good:
    The apps I had purchased with my OLD and NEW Apple-IDs lived happily together on my iPhone and synced perfectly with my MacBook.
    …Until now:
    I had to reformat my MacBook, and afterwards I tried to sync back the apps sitting on my iPhone. I've logged in and out of both accounts a few times and now, from what I can tell, I'm left with a few random apps from NEW and OLD accounts – and a very large chunk have just disappeared.
    Logging out of the NEW account and logging in to the OLD account, then trying to sync my iPhone again, doesn't make any difference: I only have a FEW apps remaining – some of which are new and some are old, i.e. from both accounts (including both free and purchased apps).
    I'm thus concerned to know if I've just lost a VERY large amount of purchased apps… and if I've shelved a smaller fortune's worth of cash in the toilet, so to speak.
    (Note: prior to formating the MacBook, I stored a backup of the apps in the form of .ipa files on a secondary harddrive. Can I retrieve those files into my new account somehow?)

    Not sure why your Mobile Applications folder didn't reside at the first level within the iTunes folder. This is where my Mobile Applications folder resides and I'm pretty sure that is the default location for the Mobile Applications folder. I'm not aware there is an option for changing the default location for the Mobile Applications folder.
    One big issue remains: the settings & application's saved media didn't seem to stick from my backuped .ipa files when syncing back to the device again. (Or at least not with the one Brushes 1.ipa file in my test.) Are iOS program settings & saved media stored inside each .ipa file, or do you know where it's located otherwise?
    3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is not stored with the app on your computer. 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. The iPhone's backup is stored completely separate from the iTunes Media location or folder.

  • TS1702 I bought a budget sheet app from the apple store, there is no option of sub category given and therefore the app doesn't function can I get its money back ?

    I bought a budget sheet app from the apple store, there is no option of sub category given and therefore the app doesn't function can I get its money back ?

    Actually, wrong.
    The tech support people can help with Playbook purchased apps. If you've called and they said they cannot, you were lied to.
    Even in the link you posted, in #10, it states clearly "App Refund related matters are handled by BlackBerry Customer Care." That, my friend is accessed by the support number. Again, if you were told otherwise, you should inform them of such or ask for a manage/supervisor.
    And, you don't have a "Partner ID" because you are not a "Partner". The section you're referring to applies to mobile providers, which are the Partners.
    Good luck.

  • Need help with sum from previous years

    Hi All,
    In a report i have 4 fields. The first field shows the YTD invoice totals for the current FY 2010 (which i accomplished). The other 3 fields are :
    2nd field Sum of the value of invoices for the FY 1YEAR prior to the current year
    3rd field Sum of the value of invoices for the FY 2YEAR's prior to the current year.
    4th field Sum of the value of invoices for the FY 3YEAR's prior to the current year.
    How can i get the desired results for the second,third and the fourth fields, please need help or advice.
    Thanks

    Hi
    If you have the values for several years in the same report you should be able to do what you want using the analytic LEAD and LAG.
    LAG will retrieve values from previous rows whereas LEAD will retrieve values from following rows.
    The basic syntax is the same and look like this:
    LAG(value, offset) OVER ({optional_partition_clause} ORDER BY mandatory_order_clause)
    The ORDER BY clause is mandatory and cannot be omitted. However, this ORDER BY has nothing to do with the sort order you manually create in the worksheet. Generally, most people will set their sort order the same as the ORDER BY in the calculation.
    Here's an example that gets year to date from 2 financial years ago:
    LAG(YTD,2) OVER (ORDER BY FY)
    You have to understand that Discoverer will pull values from previous rows not from previous cells as displayed on the report, although if the cells may happen to be rows too then it will appear as though it is pulling previous cells. I personally am very experienced with analytuc functions and can make manipulate data within Discoverer just about any way that I want. Generally, if I can see data on the screen even when they are in different cells or rows I can create functions to manipulate it. This capability only comes about as a result of experience and I would strongly advise you to practice with the analytics and see if you can at least master some of them. You'll find your Discoverer capabilities will improve dramatically and you will become a great asset at work.
    When working with a new report I generally duplicate the report as a table so that I can see the values. Then if I need to sort the items in order to line up the values I want to work with I do so. Having worked out what sort order I need I can then see what offset I use then I create the analytic and use it in the main worksheet.
    Hope this helps
    Best wishes
    Michael

  • Please help me with this error: "Apple application support was not found... Error 2"

    Can anyone please help me with this error: "Apple application support was not found... Error 2"
    I've followed the instructions by removing all Apple files from my laptop, but when I reinstall the iTunes software it still comes up with this message:
    "Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2"
    Thank you

    iTunes "Apple Application Support is required... Error 2" and possible fix.
    I know this is a bit late but I came accross this thread trying to resolve this same problem and came up with a solution that worked for me, so thought I would share it here too. I hope it helps someone else.
    I just resolved this on Win Vista (should apply equally for Win7 too). Please uninstall iTunes before proceeding though. I'll walk you through the process I followed, if you like you can jump straight to the Solution section.
    Problems:
    The initial error during the installation of iTunes was:
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken='1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",processorarchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x8007054F
    The error (after installing iTunes) when trying to run iTunes was:
    Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2).
    After trying various fixes around the forums I came across this MSKB article, which relates to the first installation error:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2688946
    This lead me to trying to install MS Visual C++ but I received the following error trying to install that:
    Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft.VC80.ATL,type=”win32”,version=”8.0.50727.762”,publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3 b9a1e18e3b”,processorArchitecture=”amd64”’. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070BC9. Assembly interface: IassemblyCacheItem, function: Commit, component: {837BF1EB-D770-94EB-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E}
    Note: The installation of VC++ rolls back when it fails.
    Solution:
    Through this error I found this MSKB article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946414
    The Automated MS "Fix It" msi package didn’t work.
    Note: Please backup your registry first (see the above MSKB article for instructions).
    I opened the registry and (as instructed in the MSKB article) deleted the following keys:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS\
    PendingXmlIdentifier
    NextQueueEntryIndex
    AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving
    Reboot and reinstall iTunes.

  • I have two Apple IDs and when I got an Iphone 6, only the apps from one Apple ID are on the phone. How do I get my other apps on there?

    I (stupidly) have two Apple IDs and when I got an Iphone 6, only the apps from one Apple ID are on the phone. How do I get my other apps (from my old Iphone 4) on my new Iphone? Thanks

    You can use the same appleid that you purchased the apps with on the phone for the App store. Settings> iTunes & App Store and continue to use the other id for everything else allowing you to have access to your previously purchased apps. You can then either sync or download the apps without paying for them again.
    It can be quite handy having two appleids - it can be quite useful if you can manage them correctly. One id for the store and one for imessage is good for privacy if you have the same id in use on another device.
