Syncing apps from one itunes account to another.

Hey guys, first forum post so go easy on me pls
The other day I decided to download some apps from my mums itunes account since I didnt have any money to pay for them myself. When it came to syncing/copying the apps from her account, it decided to delete most, if not all the apps from my own account.
I had a read around and have "authorised" both my laptop and her macbook, and the iphone registers this. However, I tried to copy some apps from my account this morning and it seems it wouldnt have been possible without deleting the ones I had copied from her account.
Is there any easy way around this syncing problem? Or will I just have to keep buying things from my own itunes accout?
Any feedback is appreciated

It's not possible to transfer purchases from one iTunes account to another
Not trying to doubt you or anything but you probably did something else with the iPod such as use 2 accounts simultaneously in which case you would have to log out and in each time you needed to update

    No. Apps are associated with Apple ID with which they were purchased.

    You can't. The apps must be purchased separately.

  • Transferring apps from one itunes account to another

    I bought the original IPad from a family member, so it was set up with there ITunes account and all of the apps that are on it. I would like to transfer everything that is currently on the IPad over to my computer with my ITunes account, without having to reset the IPad and purchase all of the apps all over again. I need to manage my IPad through my computer and ITunes account, not the one it was originally set up under.
    I have managed to do this with an IPod, so I can imagine it would be possible with an IPad.

  • Transfer purchased apps from one iTUNES account to another

    I have purchased a few apps on an iTunes account, have set up a new account and bought apps on that. Can i transfer apps from one iTunes to another?

    The Solution is that you will need to keep account A active for as long as you have those Apps...
    Or you can Get Them Again using account B... But if they are Purchased Apps you will have to pay again...
    Free Apps are of course Free...

  • Transfering Apps from one Itunes account to another

    I bought my step-daughter an Ipod for christmas. She went to her dads house over the holidays and set up her ipod to work with his Itunes account. Then she went on a shopping spree and spent over $100 on music and apps! Problem is she lives with us and now realizes she can't sync with her computer when she is at home and also has to share any Itunes gift cards with her dad and the step-family over therre. She wants her own Itunes account but obviously doesn't want to loose her apps. I know this must have come up before in the past and I hate to ask an old question but the search feature doesn't seem to be finding any results on this. Does anyone know of a transfer service or some such that will get the apps she wants from her dad's account and transfer them to her new account?

    What you can do is use one account for regular use, and the other account could only needed to be used to update applications?
    In other words, make her an account and only use her fathers if you need to update an app.

  • Can you copy music and apps from one iTunes account to another?

    My nephew got an iPod touch for Christmas and for some reason my husband decided to add it as a new device to my iTunes account and purchased games and music and put these onto the iPod.  So now he has access to my password, etc.
    What I really want to do is set up a new iTunes account for my nephew, but will I be able to transfer his games and music purchased under my account onto his new account or will we lose them all?

    This Apple article will walk you through changing the Apple ID -> iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store account
    And this one will walk you through creating a new account -> iTunes: How to set up an iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
    You won't be able to transfer the apps to the new account, you'll have to purchase them again with the new account.

  • Copying apps from one itunes account to another

    I have been using my moms account to buy apps for the past couple of years(as has my whole family) but im moving out and need to get my own account, will i be able to transfer my apps from her account to mine? It is on the same laptop already.

    No. All store purchases remain tied to the account they were bought with. You can however authorize your new computer for the existing account and then make new purchases on a new account. However with apps from two accounts you'll need to sign in & out of each account to authorize the updates. For the moment I'm treating my account as a family account even though two of my children have left home and we all make purchases on the one account, but they have to check with me first.

  • New user on iphone -- how do I sync apps from my itunes account?

    My husband bought and used an iphone 3g, and bought five free apps. Then he gave the iphone to me. I have my own itunes account on my own computer, and have purchased free apps on my computer, but the apps don't sync to my iphone. (My music library from CDs and my address book do sync from my itunes account on my computer to my iphone). Any solution short of "restore"? I want to purchase apps on my itunes account on my computer and use them on my iphone.

    The apps I purchase on my itunes account on my computer do not sync with (transfer to) my iphone. Here are some free apps I have purchased: NYTimes, weathebug, nearby, ypmobile, movies, free hangman. None of them sync.
    When I sync by iphone with my itunes account on my computer, I get a dialog box telling me that there are apps on my phone that are not in my itunes account on my computer (my husband's five free apps). The box asks me to choose to "transfer", or "don't transfer", these apps. If I choose "don't transfer", I am warned that I will lose those apps. I have tried both methods "don't transfer" and "transfer" -- in both cases my new apps from my itunes account on my computer do not sync. In both cases my husband's apps on the iphone remain.
    My itunes account on my computer indicates that I have successfully purchased and downloaded the apps.
    I believe this problem is caused because an iphone can only sync apps from one itunes account. If true, than I need to know how to unconnect my iphone from my husband's itunes account.
    I would appreciate any help.

  • How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another?

    How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another? My daughter has an iTouch, and I was managing it through my library. I have created an iTunes account for her, with a new iTouch, and would like to move the apps over. I tried to sync the old iTouch to the new library and it said it was already set up to sync with a different library. What is the best way to do this?

    You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    To make the new computer the syncing computer you have to:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases lIke I described above
    - Make a backup of the iPod on that computer by connecting the iPod and then right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPOd from that backup
    She will have to continue to use your iTunes ID to update the apps prchased with your account. To use her account she will have to log into the computer with her account (iTunes>Store) and change the sign in on the iPod by going to Settings>Store.

    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.
