Transfer app ownership to a different account?

Hello --
On my work computer, my boss set up an account for me to use to purchase some software from the App Store (i.e. OSX Lion) on the company's credit card. However, I can never remember the password, and because the email address is tied to him, I can not retreive the password without bothering him. Next time I'll write it down...
Unfortunately, I downloaded and installed Xcode while logged into his account, and so now I can't even obtain the free updates without his password (I don't understand why I need an account at all in order to obtain free downloads...).
Is there a way to transfer Xcode to my account?
thanks!

Why would you have to uninstall it? But even if you did what would you lose? You uninstall what you have, then download and reinstall it. Only this time you install an Xcode that is registered to your Apple ID. I don't understand what you are concerned about.

    If you have not spent any of the money from the card, go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They may be able to restore the money to the card so you can redeem it through the correct account. If any of the money has been spent, then there will almost certainly be nothing the iTunes Store will be able to do for you.

  • How to transfer app data between two different game center accounts?

    Hello, I really need some help.
    I have looked all over the web for ways to transfer apps between two different game center accounts and different devices. Several weeks ago I started playing Campus Life on my relative's Ipad 2, therefore spending many long hours to get to this point in the game.
    The problem is I just got an Iphone 5 and I really would like to transfer the data onto it, so that I would not need to start all over again.
    My grandma has an account (Game Center) onto which the data has been saved and I would like to have it stored onto mine. On some forum someone said to sign into the account which has the data on both devices and to then open up the game on the new device. It worked. Then I signed out and logged in with my own account- the game started from scratch. I panicked. I went back on the other account, and the data reappeared. I have been going back and forth, the game changing as many times. I thought it would ask to back up my grandma's data on mine but I was wrong. I can not seem to save the game onto my new account, and I have even tried to back it up to Itunes and then copy it onto my phone after having signed into my own account. And I don't know how to properly use Icloud. I am a mess. I am completely lost and have found no help on the web. (All people seem to have to deal with is sharing Apple IDs with different Game Center Accounts for the kids and transferring apps from one of their devices to another.)
    I am so worried I am going to mess up and will lose the whole thing completely.
    I have just started another game with my own account but since I am using my grandma's, the data is erased. It's one or the other but I definitely prefer saving Campus Life. I do not like the idea of having to only pick one.
    I do not know any technical terms, so if you understand or even have the slightest clue about what I am talking about, I applaud you.
    This seems like mission impossible, so if anyone can help in any way, I would be really grateful. 
    Thanks in advance for your time and thoughts!

    I meant to press on "This solved my question"... Sorry if you needed the points.
    Thank-you and I will just go back and forth between the accounts.

  • Why does my app store use a different account for downloading and another for updating apps?

    My app store used my own account for downloading and my sister's for updating, and it keeps telling me to reset my account. I already did that the other few times it told me to do that!

    Have you restored your device from your sister's backup?

  • Download app previously purchased on different account

    At some point in my history with Apple I created a different ITunes account and purchased some things.  Now I am trying to download an app that I purchased with that ID, and it won't allow me to download it from the "cloud" because it wasn't purchased using my current account.  However, I don't have the option of re-purchasing the app with my real account.  I could log in with the other account, but I read that you can only change accounts every 6 months or something, and so wouldn't be able to switch back to my main account to make purchases.  Is there any way to get around this???  Very frustrated!

    Hey chromewindows,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Looks like you are having trouble downloading past purchased applications. If you can't download the app from the iOS device, try downloading it to the computer and syncing to the iOS device.

  • How to get a Previously purchased app  from the App Store from a different account on the same computer?

    Recently had to replace my hard drive and some info has gone missing.  An App from the App Store for one.  How can I get it back now that I have a new account?  It wont let me sign on with the old one anymore.

    There's no need to create a new Apple ID just because the hard drive was replaced.
    Apps can only be re downloaded using the same Apple ID they were purchased with originally.
    You will have to re purchase the app using the new Apple ID.

  • Sharing purchased songs or apps in family with different accounts

    i've an ID apple. Can my mother use my itunes library with her own account? can she use my purchased songs or apps?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    She can import content from your library to hers on a computer, if her computer is authorised by you to play your content she can do so, but of course she cannot use your apps on her computer since they are intended for a mobile device.
    She can't however sync this content to a mobile device which uses her ID for the iTunes & App stores because a mobile device can't be authorised, but instead is an associated device and devices can only be associated to one ID.

  • How to update an app purchased with a different account?

    Im trying to update iPhoto & iMovie which came with my macbook pro, but everytime I try it says "Sign in to iliketrenchcoats@****.com.au to update applications for that account." But the problem is I CANT! That account doesn't exist. My apple ID is iliketrenchcoats@****.com I can't just unistall it and re install it because It wont let me & I am afraid even if the Appstore did I would have to pay money to re install it. PLEASE HELP
    <Email Edited By Host>

    I can't explain how you did it, but you appear to have registered your iLife apps to a faulty version of your Apple ID. (BTW, it's best not to post email addresses in your comments!)
    I suggest calling Apple Care for your country and ask for help unregistering your Mac and the bundled iLife apps from the faulty email so you can start over and use the correct Apple ID.

  • Is there a way to transfer app store updates to another account without losing saved data?

    I am using xcode at my company and unfortunately it was installed using a personal account (this person no longer works here). I need to update xcode but I can't lose all the connected devices and archives stored. Is there a way to update xcode using a new company account? I've searched online and all I could find was to fully uninstall it and reinstall it but that would imply losing all the data, I'm looking for a way to keep the data. Any help is greatly appreciated

  • Transfer app purchases between accounts

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to transfer app purchases between two different accounts?
    I trashed my old account as my iPhone was stolen. Recreate the account with the exact same information. Unfortunately I cannot update my apps as it says that I'm on a different account.
    Any idea how?
    Thanks.
    Cheers, JS.

    :"Is it possible to transfer app purchases between two different accounts?"
    No.
    "I trashed my old account as my iPhone was stolen. "
    Why would you do that?  Just change your password.
    ". Unfortunately I cannot update my apps as it says that I'm on a different account."
    because you started a new account.  not sure why you would do that.
    "Any idea how?"
    You would have to sign into the old account in order to upgrade.  This is why you don;t go creating new accounts when you can just change your password.

  • Is there a way to transfer or copy all my apps to another iPad with a different account? I was required in my job to use the one at work, but I would like to also see my current set ups and apps as in my personal one. Thank you so much!

    What I suggest is that you try to pair your apple ID with you company ipad and see if it works.
    Here is why::
    I believe that the Apple rules let you. They are something like:
    -- for a shared iDevice, you may put the app on one device
    -- for a device you use exclisively, you may put the app on five (or some number) of iDevices
    I'm not lawyer, so how you interpred this is a question.
    Now, you need to figure out how to do this.
    In the past at least, apple used this terminalogy.
        Personal
        Institution
        Layered. combines personal & institution.
    It depends on how your company has configured the iPad.
    I have read where you can have upto three apple id per device.

  • Transfer apps from my iTunes account to iTunes account of different person

    Hi,
    I will sell my iPhone 4 with my apps to another person.
    How can I transfer my apps to his iTunes account as I will not have a new iPhone and do not have use of my apps anymore ?
    Is that possible and how can I do that ?
    Regards,
    Jerry

    iTunes content downloaded with more than one iTunes account can be in the same iTunes library, which requires constantly logging in and out of each iTunes account with iTunes as needed. There is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library on the same computer.
    What you can't do is transfer iTunes content that includes DRM protection from one iTunes account to another iTunes account. All 3rd party apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to download the apps. You can't switch the DRM with 3rd party apps downloaded with one iTunes account to another iTunes account, or combine the DRM with apps downloaded with more than one iTunes account. The same applies to any other iTunes content that includes DRM protection. All music purchased from the iTunes store used to include DRM protection but no longer, but all movies and tv shows purchased from the iTunes store continues to include DRM protection as with 3rd party apps which is tied to the iTunes account used to download the content.
