Transfering iTunes Card from one Apple ID (parent) to the main ID on Family Sharing (parent)

So my fiancé went to purchase a song with the iTunes card she has redeemed on her account (before we created the Family Sharing account) and it will not let her use it. It tells her to use my credit card (the main card on the Family Sharing plan).
question 1.)
If she chooses to use my card, will it use my store credit before it charges my account (the way it normally does if I were to purchase something on my own)?
question 2.)
How do we transfer the remaining store credit she has to my account so we can use it since she cannot use it?

Hello there, zcroushore.
It seems that, from what you are describing, the charges in iTunes aren't being processed as expected and described in the following Knowledge Base article:
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
Making purchases
After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.
Once paid for, a purchased item is added to the account of the family member who initiated the purchase. In other words, the content belongs to them, much as it would if you were buying them a book or a DVD. If Family Sharing is ever disabled, each member will keep the purchases they initiated, even though they were paid for by the family organizer.
If that is the case, you may want to look at the information found in this article:
Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support

If you need help changing your payment information, credit card details, or billing information, contact iTunes Store support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

How can I transfer all iTunes purchases from one apple id to another

How can I transfer all iTunes purchases from one apple id to another?

Don't agree. I have two accounts, one for work which I set up years ago and bought a few tracks. I've recently bought iPhone and iPad and created a home ID and wanted to transfer the old purchaces. Everyone says it can't be done, but I've done it.
1. on the iPhone/iPad change your "store" Apple ID to the one you want ot transfer from.
2. go into iTune on the device and download the purchaces.
3. on you PC/Mac change the iTunes login to the same as the device's ID
4. sync your device
5. change both ID's back and the purchaces stay on both iTunes and your device.
Delmar,
The procedure you describe is putting content from two different IDs into a single library, which can readily be done.
However, each item of purchased content will still be tied to the ID from which it was originally purchased, and they will be treated separately for purposes of Cloud, Match, Purchase History, etc.

I have two Apple IDs and when I got an Iphone 6, only the apps from one Apple ID are on the phone. How do I get my other apps on there?

I (stupidly) have two Apple IDs and when I got an Iphone 6, only the apps from one Apple ID are on the phone. How do I get my other apps (from my old Iphone 4) on my new Iphone? Thanks

You can use the same appleid that you purchased the apps with on the phone for the App store. Settings> iTunes & App Store and continue to use the other id for everything else allowing you to have access to your previously purchased apps. You can then either sync or download the apps without paying for them again.
It can be quite handy having two appleids - it can be quite useful if you can manage them correctly. One id for the store and one for imessage is good for privacy if you have the same id in use on another device.

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.
OOps I posted a link to a Mac method, link changed

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:

Transfering itunes library from one computer to another

Can you transfer / copy itunes and all songs in library from one PC to another PC (only one IPOD in use

I am having problems trasferring my itunes library from my PC to my laptop. I transferred all the downloaded music, "MY MUSIC" from one computer to the other, and the laptop's itunes picked those songs up. When I connected my ipod to my lap top, when selecting "transfer purchased music", itunes only imports the music that I have purchased at the itunes store. ** What I can't get imported to my laptop are the 500 CDs (5000 songs) that I downloaded onto my PC's itunes.

Transferring iTunes library from one computer to another...

Okay, so I finally purchased myself a PowerBook. Currently, I have all my music (on my iTunes) on my eMac (which I have been using the past 10 months). I would like to switch all my music over to my new PowerBook and do all my iTunes/iPod updating/synching via my new PowerBook from now on.
Here's the question: How do I transfer my iTunes library (all my music) from the eMac to the PowerBook? Using my iPod as a hard disk is not an option. Can I connect my new PowerBook to my eMac and transfer the files that way? Do I have to burn like five DVD disks and load them manually onto the new PowerBook? Is there some other great solution? Anything else I need to know about this process? Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Thanks all.

Josh,
Use target disk mode wich is explained in the following link. Follow directions carefully and good luck.

Transferring purchased apps from one apple ID to another.

Hi, i have been sharing an apple ID with my parents for quite some time now. I am now moving out and have had to make my own apple ID to use with my own iPhone and iPad, is there anyway that i can transfer the apps that i purchased on my parents apple ID to my new apple ID? any help would be greatly apprieciated.

Yes, but you'll need to update them from the original Apple ID, and may need to change the one signed into the iTunes Store to make in-app purchases.

How do I transfer itunes library from one apple id to another?

My husband and I used to share an Apple id, under which I uploaded music from my old CDs and we also both purchased music in itunes. But I have since established my own Apple ID in an attempt to organize my music and downloaded a few things there. Since puchasing a new apple desktop and having our files transferred, I would really like to "copy" or "share", not sure what the right term would be, all of the music under the original id to my own and keep things separate from here on out. But how do I get, or bring up, all the old music in my new(er) apple id?

Music from your cds in not "under" and Apple id at all.
Put all of the music in your itunes library. that simple.
Music is not in an id. it is on a computer. Put it wherever you like.
