Transfer of purchased items

My kids have been on my itunes account since they were young.  They now both have their own computers and want their own account.  Is there a way to transfer their purchased items from my account to their individual account?  Do they loose all of their purchased items when they create their own account? Do they essentially have to start from scratch?

If you mean iTunes Store accounts, then no, there is no way to transfer any item from your iTunes Store account to theirs. You will need to have their computers authorized to your iTunes Store account to them to be able to use their already-purchased content (music tracks should not need authorization) or get updates to apps, though they can make future purchased through their own iTunes Store accounts.
Regards.

  • 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.

    You said you need to restore your iPhone with iTunes. My instructions included the following:
    +Since you don't have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, with your iPhone connected at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. After confirming all 3rd party apps on your iPhone are now in your iTunes library on your computer, select Sync Apps under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and make sure all apps currently installed on your iPhone are selected below. Select Apply followed by a sync.+
    The Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone should include any iTunes content on your iPhone that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store which is not in your iTunes library on your computer. This includes any music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps downloaded from iTunes with your iPhone that is not in your iTunes library on your computer.
    After confirming all iTunes content on your iPhone that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store that was not in your iTunes library is now in your iTunes library, you can restore your iPhone with iTunes. After the restore is completed, this must be followed by a sync. Select the music under the Music tab, the movies under the Movies tab, the apps under the Apps tab, etc. that you want transferred to your iPhone.
    If you were manually managing music and videos with your iPhone before with Manually Manage Music and Videos selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, switching to syncing music, movies, and tv shows will erase all music, movies, and tv shows from your iPhone first.
    Since you indicated you want to restore your iPhone with iTunes with your original post, go ahead and do so after confirming all iTunes content on your iPhone that was downloaded from the iTunes store which was not in your iTunes library is now in your iTunes library.

  • ITunes won't transfer unspecified purchased items from my iPhone

    I tried to upgrade my iPhone 3GS to iOS 4 but got the "There are purchased items on your iPhone that have not been transferred to your computer" message. Ok, right click on my iPhone and select "Transfer Purchases" from the popup menu. Done VERY quickly; upgrade again says "There are purchased items ..."
    Went to iTunes' File menu and selected "Transfer Purchases from iPhone." Still no joy.
    Restart iTunes, rebooted the iPhone, took the dog for a walk, it STILL isn't happy.
    I've only used one account to make purchases from the iTunes Store (and App Store). At least some items purchased on my iPhone show up in iTunes, and the contents of the "Purchased on ... iPhone" playlist in iTunes appears to be complete. All apps are present and accounted for in iTunes, including a few that I've purchased on the iPhone.
    If there is a list of items that iTunes thinks have not been transferred then it's very well hidden—beyond iTunes, I rummaged about using Console and even poked around in a shell.
    Now what? I'd like to upgrade to iOS 4 but I'd also like not to lose any files.

    Having the exact same issue. I went a ahead with the os4 update and my purchases are still on my iphone, but still cannot transfer purchases to my authorised computer. I should warn you that the I got an extra bonus with the OS4 upgrade ... my iphone no longer connects to wireless networks.

  • 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.

  • Can I transfer my purchased items to a new apple device

    My 3rd Generation Ipod Touch stopped working recently and it looks like it can't be repaired and is no longer any use, I am wondering if it is possible to recover my downloaded / purchased items onto an new Ipod Touch?
    I plugged it into charge in  a mains wall charger and was actually using it as well, next there was a pop from the charger and the Ipod went off. I contacted a repair clinic and they suggested it may just be the battery might have gone pop, so I left it to them the investigate. They were unable to do anything with it.

    The iTunes backup does not included synced media like apps and music. If iTunes purchases are not in your iTunes library you can redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Since iTunes can't see your old iPod you can't get anything off the iPod.

  • How do I transfer previously purchased items to a new apple ID?

    is there a way to transfer items purchased under one apple ID to a newly-created apple ID?

    No.

  • How can i transfer my purchased items to a new apple ID?

    I currently have an apple ID that i use for all my iMessages and everything else i do except for my app and itunes purchase. I know we don't have the option to merge 2 apple Id's yet so i was wondering if there is a way to transfer what I've already purchased to the other apple ID i have. In a sense merging by transferring everything over.

    There is no way to merge or transfer anything to another AppleID. The App Store license also specifies that purchases cannot be transferred.

  • I cannot transfer my purchased items from my iPhone to MacBook Pro

    Hello everyone,
    iPhone 4 and MacBook Pro iTunes are running on the latest updates
    I have purchased a number of songs from iTunes and I wish to transfer it on to my MacBook Pro
    Once I click transfer purchases, it takes forever and it will show up as "finishing sync" at least an hour for no reason
    I had to take the USB cable off and maybe my music would transfer it across but it failed...
    I have also tired to sync and backup my iPhone because I thought it will transfer it across, but it show up as "iPhone sync session timeout?"
    Could someone please give me a hand on this would be great

    A free app that can deal with music files is Songbird.
    There are two paid apps that can transfer just about any type of file; TouchCopy and PhoneView

  • My itunes will not allow transfer of purchased items to my iphone4

    As above, have brought in the heavy weights (my brother/apple expert) and even he is baffled!

    Hey M.E.Hansen,
    I would suggest that you select less items to sync onto your device. The bar at the bottom of iTunes when your iPhone is plugged in shows you how much space will be left on your phone AFTER the next sync, which is why it is not allowing you to sync:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph12113
    The bar at the bottom of the window shows how much space will remain on your device after you sync.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden
