Transfer Apps from one account to another

I'm not sure if this post is in the right area:
I have about 5 apps that I purchased through my wife's account at the iTunes store. Is there a way that I can transfer these apps to my account? It sure would make updates through iTunes easier, as right now I have to log out of one account and in to another for all updates to occur.
Thanks!

No. DRM does not permit this. The way you're doing it is the way it has to be done. While you can share apps, you cannot transfer them. Same applies to music, etc.

  • How can i transfer apps from one account to another.?

    now i had bought apps with my old account. but when i sync them into my phone i cant update them using my account, i need the old itunes i had. How can i transfer all bought apps onto my new account?

    You can't.
    All 3rd party apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to purchase/download the apps. DRM cannot be transferred from one account to another.
    Why did you get a new iTunes account? Changing your email address alone does not require doing so.

  • Transfer app from one account to another with same SKU number

    Hi,
    I want to transfer a application from one account to another and i get this error:
    You cannot transfer apps with a App product ID that is the same as a product ID used by the recipient's app.
    The Apple ID for both applications is different.
    The only thing in common in the SKU number which i have to admit, is poorly chosen for both apps - 01.
    I don't want to re-submit my apps so i can choose a new SKU number for one of them.
    Is there any way i can transfer them ?
    I think you should be able to choose a new SKU number when you transfer to another account because your app is going to belong in a new inventory.
    Thanks

    Found the answer today from Apple:
    "It is not possible to transfer an app that has an identical SKU/product ID to another app on the recipient's account. If you would like the app to be distributed on the App Store through this specific account, you will need to remove it from sale, delete it from the current account, and then upload it as a new app in the new account. Deleting the app will enable you to use the app name in the new account.
    When you move the app to the new account, you will disable current customers from receiving automatic and free updates of your app. Also, all customer reviews, rating, and ranking information will be reset.
    Deleting an app permanently removes the app and any associated In-App Purchases from iTunes Connect. After the app has been deleted, you won’t be able to reuse your app name and SKU. Also, if you have uploaded a binary or enabled the app for the iAd Network, you won’t be able to reuse your Bundle ID.

  • 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.

    No; if the balance includes a completely unspent gift card, the iTunes Store staff can put that money back onto it.

  • Transfer purschases from one account to another

    We had iTunes and an account on a notebook computer and the hard drive crashed shortly before Christmas. I wanted to order an iTunes giftcard and but couldn't log into iTunes from another notebook so created a new account. I was in a hurry to get this gift out. Then, I connected our iPod Nano and tried to transfer the purchases. I authorized this computer but it won't let me transfer because it says the songs belong to another iTunes library. The iTunes library on the dead computer has all our purchases, and not all of them are on our iPods (nano, 2 shuffles - different family members).
    So, I need to somehow get to our original account and transfer those purchases to the new account. I have made two purchases (giftcard, 1 song) on the new account, iTunes setup on the computer. I would think there has to be a way I can work with someone at Apple/iTunes to find my original account and transfer the purchases to the new account.

    There's no way to transfer items from one account to another. Why don't you just go back to your original account? If the gift card was for someone else, it shouldn't matter that you don't use the new account.
    Best of luck.

  • Does anyone know how to transfer funds from one account to another?

    I Accidentally redeemed my itunes gift card to the wrong account. Does anyone know how I could transfer the funds?

    Gabby,
    It is not possible to transfer credit from one account to another.
    However, if you redeem a gift card and have not yet spent any of it, you can request to have the amount put back onto the card.  Contact iTunes Customer Service here:

  • HT204053 How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

    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.
