Transfer between iTunes accounts?

I would like to transfer purchases from my Australian iTunes account to my English iTunes account. Does anyone know if I can do this? Thanks

You cannot do this.
Just keep everything stored on your computer and backed up. You will be abel to use your apps and music, you simply will not be able to update or redownload.

Can you transfer between itunes accounts using home sharing

I am wanting buy an Ipad 2 as a present and pre load some apps for them on it. Ill have to sync it to my itunes account to do this. so how do i go about ensuring what i have downlaoded doesnt get lose when they then use their itunes account? Would having to 2 accounts on one computer help?

Apps are locked to the iTunes Store account under which they were purchased and cannot be transferred to another account. Unless the recipient of this gift will be living with you or is someone who you would trust with your iTunes Store account ID and password, preloading the iPad won't be practical since, without your iTunes Store account information, anything you load on the iPad will be erased when the recipient syncs it to their computer. You can gift the apps, if you wish, which would allow the recipient to download the apps through his or her own iTunes Store account. Or you can give an iTunes card along with the iPad and let the person choose their own apps.
Regards.

Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer

Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer? My kids iPods are under my account now with all of our shared music but they want their own iTunes accounts. I would like to transfer the music and apps that they purchased under my account to their new accounts... Is this posible?

This really isnt good. there isnt even a .tmp file on my pc.
Did you enable the display of system files and hidden files and folders?
by the way, how can i stop this from happening another time.
Make a backup!
i had music there for over 6 years.
Well you must have updated iTunes once or twice in that time. Do you have some sort of "tidying" app that is supposed to clean "unnecessary" files. If so perhaps it is too aggressive.

HT1539 Transferring digital copies between iTunes accounts

Hi
I have recently set up my own iTunes account, but digital copies of films I have got in the past are on my old account & the redeeming codes won't let me download them again. Does anyone know if its possible to transfer digital copies between iTunes accounts?
If not, is there any way I can get these films on my iPad that's linked to my new account?
Any advice anyone can give me will be helpful. Cheers.

It's not possible to transfer 'normal' iTunes purchases between accounts, and I assume that the same thing applies to digital copies. You should be able to copy them onto the computer that you sync the iPad from, authorise that account on it (via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option in iTunes), add them to its iTunes (File > Add To Library), and then sync them to your iPad

how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air?

thanks but exactly how do I do this. I tried setting the new macair up using migration assistant but for some reason not everything has come through. I bought a thunderbolt cable to improve the transfer rate.
Now my question is how do I transfer the iTunes folder. I have authorised the new macair for iTunes and am within the 5 computer limit.

There is no account stored on any computer, the library however is stored.
To move the iTunes library from one computer to another, copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from one computer to another.

1) How can I transfer my iTunes account to a new computer when I get one...
and
2) What can I do if my current computer suddenly implodes and I have not yet 'copied/'saved'/otherwise protected my account, as is? -- I have already had my computer crash once and had one of your people help me restore all of the paid for songs (none of the uploaded from my own collection of CD songs, of course, so I had to spend a long time rebuilding that) -- and I believe I was told you could only help me recover that material one or two times altogether, no?
WithOUT purchasing a Mach or iCloud (I actually think I have one of the later, but rarely have checked it) account, is there anything I can do to responsibly protect my account?
Thanks for any time taken on this!!!

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

How do I transfer my iTunes account from a PC to a Mac?

There's a couple of things you can do. First, on your Mac, log in to iTunes with your Apple ID. This will allow you to download the songs you've already purchased on iTunes. Transferring the files manually can be tideous, so I would reccommend calling Apple Support and they will guide your through it, or you can schedule an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, and they will help take care of it for you.
Hope this helps,

How do i transfer my iTunes account from Macbook air to windows 8 pc

I have a Macbook air newest model and i want to transfer my itunes account to a wondows 8 pc.?

An account is what you use to buy media from the iTunes Store. A library is a collection of media on a computer. Which one?
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.

HT202157 switching between itunes accounts

i just upgraded my itunes account tonight. i have a question: is the switching between itunes accounts legal? How do they know you are not getting a friends account info and watching their movies? Does anyone know the answer to how this works and if it is legal?
Thanks,
Dena

The potential to associate a computer to an account for 90 days has been possible for a number of years like it has been on iOS devices, and can happen if you use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or redownload past purchases (though, based on some posts I've seen, it doesn't always seem to happen) - I believe it's an attempt to try and stop people logging into their account on other people's computers or devices and redownloading/sharing their content, not to stop people having multiple accounts.
It shouldn't stop you buying new content on the account, just doing any of the above three things. If you want to do one of them on your other account then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will remove the current association, but if you then do one of them on the other account then you are likely to start a 90 association to that account instead : Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support.

Want to transfer my iTunes account from our PC to our Macbook, but my wife already has her own iTunes account on it...is this possible?

I am wanting to transfer my itunes account from our PC to our Macbook pro. Our PC has been riddled with problems and is slower than heck. The only problem is that my wife already has her own Itunes account on the Macbook. I have already consolidated the itunes library from my pc and backed it up to an external HD to move, but I have no idea where to go from here. I don't want to overwrite any of her stuff. Please help!

There are many ways to accomplish this, depending on how you want it. Setting up multiple accounts is easy under System Preferences:Accounts. After that open iTunes on your newly created account.
Now, is where you could do a couple of different things. If your PC is sharing the same network and you are able to see the files on the PC from the iMac, then just drag and drop the iTunes Library music folder structure (just the part that contains the actual music) into the iTunes window. If you can't access the PC files, then you need to copy them all to an external hard drive, and import them w/ the same method.
If you don't want to create a second root-level account for yourself, but want to keep the music library separate, create another iTunes Library. You do this by holding down the Option key while starting iTunes, then click on the Create Library option. Then import the music using either method above.
