Transfer songs from one account to another

When my son was younger, I used to purchase music for him on my iTunes account. He is now 16 and has his own account. Is there a way I can authorize his iTunes account to play the songs I purchased for him. I don't want them in my library any longer. I want to give them all to him since I originally purchased them for him and it is not the kind of music I listen to. It doesn't seem fair that he should have to buy them all over again when I am willing to relinquish access from my account and give them to him. This is the one thing about purchasing digital music that irritates me. I bought them. I should be able to give them away if I want to. If I had bought a CD I would be able to hand it to him and be done. Please tell me there is a way to do this.

How do I transfer songs from one account to another?

When I purchased the Ipod for my daughter, she was under 18, so I used my name and AOL login. Now that she is older, the IPOD is still connected to me and not her. Some songs are listed as hers, others as mine.
How do I give all of "my songs" to her?

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.

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

You don't. Sync via iTunes to PC/Mac, then to other device.

How does one transfer credit from one account to another?

You can't. You cannot transfer credit from one account to another, or purchases from one account to another. Apple has made no provisions for this and does not permit it.

How to transfer songs from one iPOD to another one?

On my old iPOD I've collected songs for various libraries (from friends and my two computers) but stupid iTUNES won't let me transfer my songs from this iPOD back to Library.
So, now when I've got a new a iPOD, I have to put all the songs there again, because iTUNES again won't let me transfer songs from one iPOD to another iPOD, when both are connected to the same computer!!
What should I do?
Apple as an innovator company should come up with an update to solve this easy issue.

Haven't you got your songs in iTunes? Just connect your new one and it will update from your Library.
However if you have deleted them from the PC, there are a number of third party utilities that can retrieve the files from your iPod.

How to transfer songs from one iPad to another iPad using iTunes?

You can't without a third party app. If you didn't purchase the Music with your Apple ID or if the music was imported from CD's on your friends iTunes library, syncing will not work ....nor will transferring purchases.
Look at this app .... TouchCopy

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:

How to transfer music from one account to another through an iphone?

Recently, I was able to get a brand new laptop. I was excited to finally be able to purchase my own music from my own iTunes account, but over the past few years, I'd been buying songs off of my family's shared iTunes account. How can I transfer the songs I purchased from there onto my new iTunes library with my individual account?

I'm afraid you cannot transfer purchased items from one account to another: this is a limitation imposed by the copyright owners. However recent purchases from the iTunes Store are not DRM-protected so you may be able to play them anyway if you manually copy them across. You will need to drag the out of the original iTunes to a folder on the desktop, and then transfer that to your new Mac and drag them into iTunes there. Try it with a few there and see if it works.
Should you have any movies, though, these cannot be transferred.
