Transferring Gift credit to a new account

Hi!
I've been using iTunes with my AOL account for a long time and I have money on the account from various gift cards. However, I would prefer to use my Apple ID for iTunes because I definitely do not use AOL in any shape or form anymore except for iTunes and I wouldn't mind getting rid of it. Is there any way I can transfer he money from the AOL account into my Apple account?

See this -> iTunes Account and Email Address FAQ
"*My AOL account has expired. How to I update my account information in iTunes?*
To convert your AOL iTunes account to regular iTunes account, attempt to log in to the iTunes Store three times with your AOL screen name and password. After the third attempt, you'll be prompted to convert your account."

I redeemed my $25 itunes gift card on a new account with no email address how do I get the credit on my regular itunes account?

I got a $25 itunes gift card and tried to redeem it on my regular itunes apple ID account and I had a message saying the code was invalid so I made a new account and redeemed it on that account but it doesnt have a valid email address and I cant even remember what it was how do I get the credit from wherever it is onto my regular itunes apple ID account?

Qauzzy, The credit was applied to the account you used at the time you redeemed the card. There is no way to transfer the credit to another account.
You might as well just spend the $25 on the new account, and then stop using it and go back to your regular account..
For future reference, do not start a new account just because you have a problem with the code. Rather, follow the suggestions in this document: iTunes Store: Invalid, inactive, or illegible codes

TRANSFERRING SKYPE PHONE NUMBERS TO NEW ACCOUNT?

I have 2 subscriptions/phone numbers on my current skype account - one for Australia and one for New Zealand. Since I can't change my skype name, can I transfer the subscriptions/phone numbers to a new account? I have recently been married, so my name has changed and I use the phone numbers for business so it's important I'm using my correct name... Grateful for some advice

Hi, KDelaney, and welcome to the Community,
Congratulations!
Have you considered changing your name as it is displayed?

Skype does not permit the transfer of anything from one account to another, regardless of what it is (credit, subscriptions, Skype Numbers, etc.). If you wish to start over again, as if you had moved to a different location, you would cancel the subscriptions and Skype Numbers on your first account, and add the same new subsriptions to a new account. Likewise with credit, you can request a refund of the credit on the first account and then purchase new credit for the new second account.
Anticipating your next question, it would be an interesting and convenient feature if Skype had a facility to forward one account to another, but alas they do not.
Best regards,
Elaine

Transfering app purchases to a new account

I have a MobileMe account and have done for a while, but the iOS appstore, my iPhone, my iPad and any purchased music are still using an iTunes account setup with my old Googlemail account (which, after sitting collecting dust for nearly two years, I want to finally close down). I know that if I transfer all my devices over to the MobileMe account that I'll be able to retain my purchased music (sans purchase history), but I have nearly 15GB worth of iOS applications that I have downloaded with the old iTunes account.
Can I transfer iOS applications to a new account without having to buy them again? I can prove that both accounts belong to me, could I request to re-download the applications again free of charge, or would that be out of the question?
Thanks for any help

You can change your apple ID (itunes > itunes store > account > edit account info) but this will change it for your parents also.
So, you can take all your purchases with you, but if your folks have also purchased things, and if they want to purchase stuff in the future, this won't work.
There is one option: iTunes supports multiple libraries. You could use one library for the content that you've bought with your parents account, and another profile for your own account. You WON'T be able to have the content from both accounts on the same ipod / touch / iphone, etc
For multiple library support, look here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=637185
So, in answer to your question, you won't lose your content, you just won't be able to use it at the same time with any new content on a new user account.

Thanks!

You can copy them over to the computer that he syncs his iPad to (File > Transfer Purchases), but they will remain tied to your account - content can't currently be transferred to a different account

HT1541 Is there a way i can gift iTunes credit (already on my account) to a family member on another Apple iD

I have an amount of credit on my Apple iD and would quite like to gift it over to my son on his Apple iD if possible.
Any light on this matter would be appreciated.

Sorry, but transferring a credit balance from one account to another is not possible.
Regards.

HT201209 I recently changed my email address, and my old one is listed on my itunes acct. I redeemed an Itunes gift card, but it went to my old acct. How do I transfer mt gift card to the new acct.? I tried, but it said it has already been redeemed

Okay... I redeemed my itunes gift card, under my old ID. I had since updated my new email address, but didnt realize i redeemed it under the old ID. I tried to redeem it under my new ID, but i couldnt. Is there a way to switch my gift card amount to my current ID??

No, it's not currently possible to transfer a redeemed card to a different account, and you also won't be able to use it to gift content to the newer account (you can only gift via a credit card) - so the amount will remain linked to that old account

Can I set up a new account with only a gift card?

My sister just got her first ipod and a gift card to the itunes store. It appears she needs to set up an itunes account in order to use the gift card. In the process it is looking for a credit card or paypal info - neither of which she has. Is it possible for her to set up the account only with the gift card as the method of payment?
Thanks!

Log out from any account
Redeem your music card
Now choose to create a new account (Don't try to start by creating a new account in 1st place)
If you do it that way you are allowed to discard CC details

You can't transfer gift card credits from one account to another. You'll have to sign in using the old account on your iPhone to use the credit balance. =)

How do i transfer my itunes credit from old account to new account?

Maybe he had a kid and wanted to give them the gift of his iTunes account?
Yes, but he wants to take his money out of it first. Nice Dad.
It's freaking ridiculous that this can't be done.
You can provide suggestions to Apple at the Feedback page.

I have an itunes gift card balance on my account however I want to use my credit card to pay for songs. It automatically uses my balance and doensn't give me the option of using my credit card. In detail how do I change it or must I use my balance first?

I have an itunes gift card balance on my account however I would rather use my credit card to pay for my music downloads. I cannot find an option to choose credit card over my balance, it just automatically uses my gift card balance instead. Is there a way to change this? I have gone to account settings but cannot find a way to do this. Does anyone have any detailed information on how this could be achieved? Is it even possible? Thanks so much in advance!

Sorry, but there's no way to force the iTunes Store to use your credit card. If there's a credit balance available, purchases will be deducted from that first.
Regards.

I've had to change my email address so I registered the new one with apple, but how do I transfer the credit on my old account?

I registered my itunes account under my email address but when I changed it I cant seem to transfer my apps across or credit. To make matters worse my new computer states there is a new iphone update out and to install it will erase all apps and music.
There must be a way to transfer my apps and credit to my new apple account surely?

1. Sign out of old ID
2. Sign in with new ID
Settings>AppStore>Apple ID

Can't create new account without a credit card?

I recently made a brand new Apple ID for the iCloud and because my old ID was years old and I don't even use the email address it was registered on. Registering it went fine. But now that I want to update some of my apps via the iTunes store, it says I can't verify my new account without credit card information. I don't have a credit card at this time. I do plan on getting one soon, but until then I'd like to be able to update my apps, use iTunes cards, and download free podcasts with my new account. Is it possible to get my new account up and running without credit card info?

I think you can create an Apple ID without credit card
