Transfer a purchase from one account to another?

My wife and I each had our own account prior to the HomeSharing feature. Once that was introduced, I jumped on it - thanks very much for doing that. But now I'm left with a few apps that I purchased on my account, and most that I shared from hers. In order to get updates, I have to keep switching accounts and re-verifying the billing info for both accounts.
Is there a way to move my license for a paid app from one account to another, so I can unify all my family's apps under a single account?
I contacted one of the app's vendors and was told that they couldn't do it... so it occurred to me to ask whether Apple could do it from their side.

HT1473 How do I transfer my purchases from one account to another?

I had an ipod that broke and had to get a new one. I have a new account and want to transfer my purchases from my old account to my new one. How do I do that? The old Ipod I had that broke is blank. There is nothing on it but I can access my account thru I Tunes and see all the purchases I made. I simply want to take those purchases and transfer them to my new account.

L Comfort,
You can download fresh copies of your past purchases, with no charge. See the following guide:

How can I transfer apps purchased from one AppleId to another due to breach of account?

Due to a recent security breach not if my doing a user stole my apple id and needed to change appleid account. Now as a result i've lost all purchased apps from the itune store. I would like to transfer apps from one apple id to another without incurring additional costs. With sufficient information in direct contact with the store I should be able to transferable within the software or at very least with the itune store direct. Perhaps this is a way of charging additional costs for same programs?
Not a happy camper because of the theft in id but now to add insult to injury i'll have to repurchase the apps to properly sync with my devices.
Any help would be appreciated

You can't transfer iTunes content from one account to another. If someone had obtained access to your account credentials and you've had the account locked that should not affect the current authorizations on your computer, though it will prevent you from updating apps until you have resolved the issue. Rather than creating a new AppleID what you should do is regain control of your original Apple ID and have it reenabled with a new password, get, if possible, Apple to deauthorize all computers for your account (assuming you don't have 5 so can't do it yourself) then authorize your computers.

Lisa,
Just get copies of the song files and add them to your iTunes library. With the exception of any DRM-protected files (purchased before mid-2009 and never upgraded) they will play fine, even though they are technically associated with the original account.

How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

Apple will not permit transfer of applications from one account to another. Suppose your mom has presented an iPad to you and before presenting she has downloaded some Apps with her account. If you want to update those Apps, you must know her pass word or send the iPad to her and request her to update and give back. If you feel it is time consuming and difficult, the best way is purchase new iPad and down load the latest version of App. Whenever you come across you go on purchasing new iPad. This will help you to have latest version of iPad with you.

How do I transfer my music from one account to another

I'm trying to figure out how t transfer my music from one account to another since someone hacked into my girlfriends account and now iTunes locked her account as a one account use only and majority of my music was bought with my card. Is there any way to transfer all my purchased music into my new account? I still have the music I purchased on my pc.

You can't, all content is tied to the account that purchased / downloaded it and it can't be copied or transferred to a different account.

Is there a way of shifting purchases from one account to another with the same billing information, so that I don't lose purchases made by my iPhone when I sync?

The AOL address I was using for my iTunes account has been deleted due to me not signing in for awhile and I'm afraid that I will lose all of my purchases made from my iphone when I sync it into iTunes for a much needed update and so that I can (hopefully) transfer its data to my new iPhone 4...
The only time I have synced my current iPhone was when I activated it but since then I have not been able to sync with my computer and now have a new one.
Sorry about the garbled way this is written but I desperately need help:
1, Is there a way of shifting purchases from one account to another with the same billing information?
Or
2, is there a way of recovering my old account and changing the details?
Any other help is greatly appreciated

You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.

You can't, an account's balance cannot be transferred to another account, nor can it be used to gift content to another account - it can only be used to buy content for the account that it's on.
For your security questions, if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then you can use that to reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset, and if you don't already have a rescue email address, you can then add one for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

Transfer iPhone Apps from One Account to Another

*Hello everybody,*
*Since I'll be moving to Germany soon to study Medicine, I've created a new iTunes account which is the one I use regularly. I was wondering if there is a possible way to transfer paid apps from one account to another for the same iPhone, and if it's not possible what do you suggest so I can still use my paid apps with my new account.*
*Thank you*

What you would do is on computer authorize other account for that computer. So you computer is authorized to play both accounts. Then you can sync apps from both accounts to your phone using the same computer as before.
My wife and I both have our own accounts and each of our instances of iTunes have authorized each others accounts for that computer. So I can sync her apps and she can sync mine. Just becomes a pain when you update an app via the cell phone when updates come out as trying to do all at once usually fails if the apps for updating are for each account. So have to do one at a time or just have them update via iTunes and sync.

How can I transfer my app store purchases from one account to another?

Can I transfer my apps to a new iTunes account from my old one? How?
Thanks.

No, you cannot transfer apps from one account to another iTunes account. Apps are DRM protected and forever tied to the account used to originally obtain them.

How do I transfer Itune credit from one account to another?

My father mistakingly put $50 into his account and thought he could transfer most to me (as he won't be needing the full amount). Is there any new updates as to transferring Itunes credit from one account to another. If not, Is there a way where i can use my personal devices, and use the Itunes credit that my father won't be neeing?
Thank you in advance.
J

Either ask the iTunes Store staff to put the entire balance back onto the card, or your father to pay you an amount equal to the credit he won't need.
