Transfer iPhone Purchases Question

How can I transfer apps purchased on my iPhone under one apple Id to iTunes running on my PC with a different apple Id?  I want to start using this new apple account I just created for all new purchases.

You can't transfer purchases between Apple IDs / iTunes Store accounts.
But there's nothing to stop you using multiple Apple IDs. It just becomes a bit more complicated when updating apps as you have to make sure you are logged in to the iTunes account originally used to download the app.

  • Need simple instructions on how to setup/transfer iphone purchased on eligible line

    Scenario:
    I did not have an eligible upgrade for my line but I had one for another line under my plan; therefore, I went in and purchased an iphone for that eligible line.  The issue is that I actually "desire" the iphone for my line.
    Here is where my question comes in:
    I have seen multiple conflicting responses on how this should be done....some say to activate iphone on eligible line then re-activate old phone on that line, then move iphone to my "desired" line....others say just to activate the iphone on my "desired" line from the getgo...
    Can someone give me the definitive answer on what method/steps I need to take to get this done?
    I just received the iphone and it is just sitting in a box because I don't want to screw this process up until I know for sure what to do.

    Can someone give me the definitive answer on what method/steps I need to take to get this done?As you stated, activate the iPhone on the eligible line, complete the activation, perhaps make a test call just to be sure it IS activated on that line.  Then turn it off.  Pick up your now inactive old phone, dial *228, option 1 and re-activate it.  If it tells you to call customer service or for some reason will not re-activate, then call customer service from a land line or phone other than the ones involved in the swap.
    Once the old phone is re-activated and the iPhone is deactivated, turn the iPhone back on and dial *228 option 1 to activate it to the # you actually want it on.  make sure the phone that is currently active on that number is turned off.  Again, if it doesn't happen, call customer service from a number/phone not involved in the swap and they can help you out.
    I just received the iphone and it is just sitting in a box because I don't want to screw this process up until I know for sure what to do.
    Hope it all works out and the iPhone is all you anticipate!

  • IPhone purchase question.....?

    I recently ordered my iPhone 4 through the Apple site. But I already have on on preorder at Best Buy.
    So my question is, if Best Buy calls me and says my iPhone 4 is in, can I pick it up from them, then cancel my purchase that I made through the Apple store?
    I was just wondering,
    Thanks in advance!!

    You can cancel your order made via Apple's online store as long as the order status hasn't changed to prepared for shipment. Once the order status has changed to prepared for shipment, you can't cancel the order.

  • IPhone Purchasing Questions

    So, I'm 20 and still don't have credit. I wouldn't be so eager to get it either, but AT&T want me to throw down $500 for a deposit when I buy my iPhone. I just don't have that kind of money right now. I've already budgeted for the cost of the phone and monthly costs, so the phone I can pay for, it's just the deposit that's getting me. Now, I've talked to my mom about getting a first credit card and she's ******** about how I shouldn't get it and blah blah blah. Now, if I knew how to go about getting one myself, I'd just do it since I'm 20, but yea, I've got no clue what I'd be doing and well, I don't wanna **** myself up even more by getting into debt.
    I've heard that the 'piggybacking' method doesn't work anymore, but there's a way now to do it still. But, I'd need to be a joint account holder on the account, which my mom's credit is poor, so is my dad's. My grandparents on the other hand have a score of like 800 or something, but I just know they're not going to put my name as a joint account hold or nothing.
    So, how should I go about getting my credit built up? I did try and apply for a card from Paypal about a year ago, but got denied. I'm at a lost, and don't say just wait on the phone, I've been eying it since the original came out and I'm about to fucken die to have one, yea I know, it's a trend isn't it. I've already set out how much it'd cost monthly, it's just getting past the deposit.
    Any ideas? If I do some how end up getting approved for a card, it'd be for simple things I could pay off on time so that those nasty interest rates didn't get me, but would that have no affect or what? I'm talking simple gas fillups only.
    Thanks.

    Even if you were approved with a revolving credit card this week, AT&T probably won't waive the deposit requirement after a month or two of paying the credit card bill in full. Instead of asking your grandparents to co-sign on your AT&T account, ask them if you can borrow $500 from them for the deposit. If you can afford paying the $500 loan back at $50/mo and your grandparents are willing to accept this, you would have the loan for the deposit paid for in 10 months and after paying your AT&T bill in full and on time for 12 months, AT&T will or should credit you the $500 deposit, which should cover your monthly bill for the next 6 months or so after the credit is issued to your account.

  • How do you transfer the purchased items in the ipad 2 ios 4.3.1 to iTunes

    I have an ipad 2 with the IOS 4.3.1. I would like to transfer all my purchased items to itune before updating my IOS. How should I do?
    Thanks

    In order to prevent the loss of valued purchases from your iPhone or iPad, you may need to back up your important purchased items to somewhere safe, your computer or iTunes library, for example. You can transfer purchases manually before you sync your iPhone or iPad to iTunes.

  • My classic iPod is not showing up anymore under devices in my iTunes library. How do I get it to be recognized so I can transfer my iPhone purchases to my classic iPod?

    My classic iPod is not showing up anymore under devices in my iTunes library. How do I get it to be recognized so I can transfer my iPhone purchases to my classic iPod?

    Hello johnohuk,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like most of your music was purchased from the iTunes Store. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can download your past purchases using this article:

  • How do I transfer app purchases on my iPhone to my itunes library on a Windows machine?

    I'm on Windows 8.1 and using iTunes 11.1.5.
    I  was just going to update my phone from iTunes and I got a messege  saying (paraphrased), "There are apps on this phone that aren't in your iTunes  library. You should transfer all app purchases to your iTunes library  before continuing." I decided to just download without updating, but now  I'm wondering, how do I transfer app purchases to my computer?
    Supposedly  (according to mac users who I've seen post this in this community) they  get a dialog when they plug their phone in asking them if they want to  transfer their app purchases or if they want to synch their phone. I  only get the option to synch my phone. So, how can I transfer my app  purchases into my iTunes library? (I know how to back the phone up, I  don't think that's the same thing).
    Thanks!

    The iTunes source list is where you select things like your Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, AudioBooks in your iTunes library, and where your iTunes playlists for music is located.
    Selecting your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list is how you make your various selections for syncing content with iTunes on your computer.

  • HT1420 I am trying to sync my iPhone to my computer with a new Apple ID that Ive just created because the original account has been applied on too many computers. iTunes is not allowing me to transfer my purchases with my new account. Help!!

    I am trying to synch my iPhone with my computer, and new Apple ID. My iPhone is synced with another computer, but i have changed the Apple ID on my phone and authorized it on my computer. However, i can not transfer my purchases on to my new account. I have updated my phone, authorized the account on both my phone and my computer. And i do not wish to wipe my phone clean, because there is but one song on this new account. How do i transfer the music on my new account?

    All content bought/downloaded from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it and it can't be transferred to a different account - so you will need to authorise your old account on that computer if you want to transfer its purchases over.

    If you see Devices in the big list on the left-hand side of iTunes, it should show the name of your iPhone right below it. You can right-click (or hold ctrl and left click) on the name of the iPhone there, and choose "transfer purchases from iPhone".
    If you're on iTunes 11, you won't see the big list of the left until you go to the View menu at the very top (where you see iTunes/File/Edit/View/etc) and choose Show Sidebar. Then do the same thing: right-click or ctrl and left-click on the iPhone's name below Devices and "transfer purchases from iPhone".
    It'll ask you to authorize the computer for your Apple ID if you haven't yet; to do that, you just type your Apple ID and password in when it asks. If it says you are not authorized but doesn't automatically give you an option to do so, then you can go to the Store menu at the very top and choose "authorize this computer".

  • How do I transfer the purchased items on my iPhone to my iTunes library?

    When I connect my iPhone to my computer, I get the message that a newer version of iPhone software is available. However, when I click on the link to download and install the software, I get the message "There are purchased items on the iPhone that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPhone." How do I transfer the purchased items on my iPhone to my iTunes library?

    You may need to enable the Menu Bar.
    In the upper right hand corner, there should be a small box, half dark colored and half light, with a small arrow next to it. Click there, and choose "Show Menu Bar" from the resulting menu. At that point, you should be able to select File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, as explained by roaminggnome.
    A second option you have is to show the sidebar by going to View > Show Sidebar. After this is done, right click on your device in the sidebar, and "Transfer Purchases" should be an option.

  • Can't transfer my purchases from iPhone to iTunes

    Hey guys ...Hope anyone can help me..
    I did restored my iPhone 4 today, before that I created a backup (Using iTunes) .. after the restore, my iPhone turned into a brand new iPhone (lost all apps), I created a new Apple ID in the welcome screen. After the first welcome screen I restored the backup that I created and got my photos, notes, contacts back...
    The problem is.. I purchased two apps using the iPhone, ok.. no problem
    Then i purchased some apps using the iTunes..
    And here where the problem begins..
    Before sync, I needed to transfer my purchases that I bought on the iPhone to the iTunes library.. but got this error message:
    http://min.us/mfPGPP6a6
    PS: I'm using the IOS 5.1.1 and I already did the authorization going Store > Authorize this computer and it still saying that I don't have authorization
    Pls, help!

    Thank you for your answer.
    I noticed now what's going on
    After the iOS restore, I created the new Apple ID, my iPhone was configured to use the new Apple ID.
    Buut, I restored the backup (that I made using the iTunes while the iPhone was using the old Apple ID) and this backup also configured my iPhone to use the old Apple ID, and I purchased these two apps using the old Apple ID (I thought I purchased them using the new one)
    That's why I can't transfer this apps to the iTunes library, because I purchased using the old Apple ID and my iTunes is configured to use the new Apple ID.
    Solution: Delete these two apps and purchase them using the new Apple ID, correct?
    PS: I created this new Apple ID because the old one got all the five authorizations and I really don't remember what computers I did this, and I've deauthorized all computers less than a year ago, so I only can do that again in one year..

    No, just a reminder that you should do so beforehand, which you have already done.

  • How to transfer my purchases on iPhone to iTunes AUTOMATICALLY?

    Ok, I have bought most of my apps on my device and when I sync it to iTunes I have to transfer my purchases. Yada yada yada. Anyway, one day I got tired of having to click it "Transfer" in pop-up window before it syncs and I checked the please don't show me this again thing. Then I figured it would always just auto transfer purchases. Apperently I was wrong. Now to tranfser my purchases, I have to cancel the sync very quickly, and manually transfer the purchases. is there a way to set it so iTunes AUTOMATICALLY transfers my purchases to iTunes so they will stop being deleted off my device. If it's impposible at least I just want to get the pop-up window back in iTunes. Thanks in advance

    Well, one feature of iTunes 10.4 is that there's a option you can enable to automatically download the apps, books, and music that you purchase on other devices.
    Simply go to iTunes preferences and then under the store menu you can enable the options you'd like.
    As for your question, you might want to reset all dialogs in the advanced menu in the iTunes preferences.  Then you'll get your dialog coming up again.
