Transfer iTunes content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID

I have recently set up a second Apple ID so that I can separate content I want my kids to be able to access and other content that I don't want them to see (eg particular TV shows and movies) and have set up a separate computer through that I want to load with content suitable for them. Is it possible for me to transfer content purchased on iTunes from one Apple ID/iTunes account to a different one? Are there any tips/tricks for this? Any problems or watch-outs? Thanks.

Hi H.E. Bear,
Sorry, but iTunes purchases are forever tied to the Apple ID that they were purchased under. There is no way to transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another.
You can, however, Authorize that original ID to the new computer (along with the new one for the kids). Once you have Authorized it, you can transfer selected purchases into the iTunes Library on that computer:

how do i transfer iTunes money from one account to another? also forgot security question answers

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.

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

Can i transfer itunes purchase from one of my accounts to another of my accounts?

can i transfer itunes purchases from one of my accounts to another of my accounts?

No, all iTunes purchases will remain tied to the account that downloaded them, they can't be transferred to a different account (nor can accounts be merged).

How do I move an iTunes library from one external drive to another?

I need to move my iTunes library from one external disk to another, because the original disk is about to fail. So, I went into iTunes Perferences --> Advanced, and set the library to a new, empty folder on the new drive.
Nothing changed. I expected all my music to vanish from iTunes, so that I would have to re-import it. However, all the music remained, still on the old disk. At this point, if I were to recreate the library on the new disk, I would have all of my music twice.
Is it possible to move an iTunes library from one external drive to another, or am I stuck with my original choice until I buy a new machine? If I can move it, can one of you clever folks explain how it could be done?

However, those are all dealing with old versions of iTunes that still contained the Advanced --> Consolidate Library command which is no longer part of the app. (I'm on iTunes 10.6.1.)
Consolidate is still part of iTunes.
It is in iTunes menu File > Library > Manage library > Consolidate.
The article you linked to is old and it is (and was) a hacky way of doing it.
Just copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to new location, hold Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) when launching iTunes.

How do i copy content from one hard rive to another through my macbook air? the copy and paste option doesn't work

How do i copy content from one hard rive to another through my macbook air? the copy and paste option doesn't work

It's because of the extension of the hard drive is a Windows extension ( most likely MSDOS or Ex-FAT), meaning you can only read but not write. If there are no important files (or you can copy the whole thing to your computer/mac) you can just reformat the hard drive and change the extension to NTFS (readable and writable on both windows and mac) or Mac OS Extended (readable and writable on Mac, readable on windows).
Go to DISK UTILITY
Choose the Hard Disk you intended
ERASE
You can choose either
(I personally prefer this one, you know just in case)

Moving iTunes library from one Windows PC to another

How can I move my iTunes library from one Windows PC to another using iTunes 11.0.1.12?
I seem to lose my playlists and more oddly some track meta-data and settings - can anyone point me to a good guide as the search hasn't turned up anything that's worked for me?
Thanks

Thank you so much for replying! I'm not sure I quite understand, though. The media folder is in (2TB) /iTunes/iTunes Music/Music currently, cloned from (1TB) /iTunes/iTunes Music/Music. If I copied the /iTunes/ folder from 1TB to the 2TB, I'd be doing the exact same thing as when I cloned it, which I'm willing to do if I'm understanding you correctly.
Or are you asking me to copy all of the files (minus the /iTunes Music/ folder) in the (1TB) /iTunes/ folder and replace all of those files in the (2TB) /iTunes/ folder?

Re :- How to Transfer GL Balance from One A/c to Another Account

hii gurus
please tell me how to transfer GL balances from one GL Account to another GL Account. Could u tell me T- Code for the same.

Hello
We transfer GL account balance from one GL a/c to another GL a/c in the following situations.
When the GL a/c need to be maintained in Open item Management, say GL a/c belongs to a Balance sheet item but you have forgot to check the Open Item Management check box and made entries to that particular GL a/c.
In this situation you cant activate the Open item Management when the A/C is having balance, so first u need to make the GL a/c zero balance and than check Open item Management check box, follow the following steps.
Create another dummy GL a/c, say ABC and the GL a/c which you want to make zero balance is having Dr Balance. Now make a posting using FB50 or F-02, you Dr the ABC GL a/c and Cr the other GL a/c so that the GL a/c balance becomes zero, now go to GL master and check the Open item Management check box. And again make posting through F-02 Crediting the ABC GL a/c and Debiting the other GL a/c.

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.

Transferring iTunes Metadata from one internal drive to another

I recently added a new hard drive to my G4 and loaded it with Leopard. My old drive (with Tiger) is still resident in the system. When I used the Migration Assistant to transfer over my data, my iTunes Library transferred just fine, but none of the metadata (playlists, ratings, play counts, bpm) came with it. Everyone keeps telling me just to copy over the whole iTunes folder from one drive to the other, but there are at last count three different iTunes folders on both systems. Could someone please be more specific? Is there not one or two files somewhere that holds this metadata that can be copied from one drive to the other? I had over 50 playlists and had spent HOURS adding bpm info to my library... I'd hate to lose all of that time and effort.
Thanks!

Firstly are you intending to keep your Windows installation on the current drive? Is your iTunes data on the same drive?
If so you don't want to reinstall the iTunes program.
There are basically two ways of moving iTunes to another drive, method one just moves the iTunes Music folder:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305451
Method 2 involves moving your iTunes folder so that everything, music and library files is on the other drive:
Close iTunes.
Copy the iTunes folder from My Muisc to your chosen location on the other drive.
Hold down the shift key and start iTunes, when asked to choose a libary, navigate to the iTunes folder in the new location and choose iTunes Library.itl. This assumes all your music is in the iTunes Music folder, there is another step if it isn't.
Without knowing exactly how you have things set up at the moment and how you want things to be after the move it's hard to choose between the two.
If you intend to reinstall Windows, of course it is completely different.

Moving iTunes library from one internal drive to another

tl;dr somewhat - cloned iTunes folder from one non-boot internal to another; changed Media Folder Location in Preferences, both boxes below checked; iTunes still plays music off old location. Help!
First off, I have a Mac Pro in which I have a 1TB drive separate from the boot drive simply to house my iTunes media folder. I have been running out of space on the drive, so I purchased a 2TB drive to move my iTunes media folder to. I had been allowing my iTunes Library files to stay on my boot drive in their default location, but after reading more about how the library files + media folder work, I decided to copy all of the library files to the 1TB drive iTunes folder, to mirror the boot drive's. I used Option + open iTunes and selected the copied library file and everything worked perfectly - I mention this in case this has created the problem I'm now having.
I used the Apple endorsed method of having iTunes do the copying/consolidating of files to the new location on the 2TB drive but it failed - and I know I followed the directions perfectly, I even tried it twice. It copied over ~100k of my 134k songs, and the missing songs weren't just albums that had strange symbols (which I've had issue with before) - it would simply not copy some artists; or copy six of an artist's seven albums. This was not going to be an option for me in terms of how to move my media.
I had wanted from the beginning to use Carbon Copy Cloner (which I use every day and trust) to simply clone the 1TB to the 2TB drive and then change the location in the iTunes preferences. I unchecked 'Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized' and 'Copy files...', then changed the location and clicked OK. I then went back in, checked those two boxes and iTunes started into "Updating iTunes Library", which lasted a few minutes. However, even though the new location is set to the 2TB drive, when I play a song (to make sure it works) and then click to see info, it's still reading it off the 1TB drive.
So I remembered the whole Option + open iTunes thing, did that and selected the iTunes Library.itl file on the 2TB drive - nothing changed. I read some more on various forums about it and thought that maybe I should Option + open iTunes and then select the iTunes folder itself - nothing changed.
So I'm stuck with the media in the right place on the 2TB drive but iTunes still trying to read it off the 1TB, even though the location in Preferences has been set to the 2TB. I feel like I'm just missing something simple here. WHAT DO I DO?! I'm guessing it's not as simple as removing the 1TB, renaming the 2TB and letting iTunes look where the 1TB used to be.

Thank you so much for replying! I'm not sure I quite understand, though. The media folder is in (2TB) /iTunes/iTunes Music/Music currently, cloned from (1TB) /iTunes/iTunes Music/Music. If I copied the /iTunes/ folder from 1TB to the 2TB, I'd be doing the exact same thing as when I cloned it, which I'm willing to do if I'm understanding you correctly.
Or are you asking me to copy all of the files (minus the /iTunes Music/ folder) in the (1TB) /iTunes/ folder and replace all of those files in the (2TB) /iTunes/ folder?

Transfer sales orders from one compnay code to another

Hi
Is it possible to transfer pending sales order from one company code to another? if yes please let me know complete procedure.
thanks
Sanjay

Hi,
You cannot transfer the sales order like this.If your company is getting closed then you can keep a deadline date before which you can close all the open orders and after that you can start creating the orders in the new company code.
If your delivery date is beyond the deadline date then you can reject the sales orders and create them with new G/L accounts from the new company code.
For this,you have to assign your sales organisation to the new company code.
Reward points if it helps.

Karan
