Transferring iPad to new iTunes account

My wife aand I have been sharing an iTunes account. After addding her new iPad to the account, it has become obvious that she should be using her own iTunes account. How do I transfer her iPad and iPod to a new account?

Do you want to use the same computer/iTunes and just have separate iTunes store logins or have a different computer/computer login for each, giving you a fresh iTunes for your wife?
If the first, then that is simple, your wife will just need to log you out (if you forget) and log herself in when going to the iTunes store, you will both have access to each other music, apps, books etc.
If you want a clean iTunes for your wife, you will need another computer or a login on your computer for your wife. This will give a clean iTunes.
If your wife would like some of your music/apps/books etc you can copy your iTunes files onto her login and add them to her iTunes library, it does not matter if they are purchased as iTunes will let you have multiple account purchased items in a single iTunes.
Alternatively you can make your iTunes folder shared and then on your wifes login (once you check the share works) open iTunes and change the iTunes Library location under Preferences in iTunes to the share of your iTunes folder.

I am transferring to a new itunes account

- I know how to use the transfer apps tab but will it also pull through all the purchase history (useful if it does because I often delete and then reinstall apps!). It helps with memory management this way but the point is does transferring to a new itunes account only transfer current apps or let you have a record of the old apps purchased as well? Thanks all!!!

You can't "transfer" any purchased iTunes content from one iTunes account to another. That's basically merging iTunes accounts, which cannot be done at the present.

Transferring phone to new itunes account

I want to create a new itunes account because I am going to college, but I have several apps and contacts that i do not want to be erased. Am i able to change my iphone to a new account without losing everything that is on it already?

Is this an iPhone?
Set it up using the AppleID you used on the previous iPhone.

I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes. Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it?

A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

How can I sync my new iPad with my itunes account on my 4 yr old macbook? I plugged the iPad in once and all music synced. The 2nd time it said update needed. Mac says no update available.

" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

HT1918 Is it possible to start a new iTunes account and transfere all purchase data from an existing iTunes account then keep both accounts active but separate from that point onwards?

We have a family iTunes account but we are now wanting to separate into 2accounts for financial reasons. Is it possible to transfere all purchased material into a new iTunes account then continue to have the 2seperate accounts with separate billing information going forward.

All content from iTunes is tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it, and it's not currently possible to copy or transfer content to a different account. You can create a new account for new purchases, and as long as the current account is authorised on the computers iTunes that you use then you should be able to continue using that content.
Note that if you use iTunes match, turn on automatic downloads or re-download past purchases for an account then you risk tying that computer to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

HT1329 I have just uploaded a new operating system (windows 8.1) on to my computer but seem to have lost my itunes library. Can this be restored? Can I plug in my ipod and syncronise so that my ipod library transfers to my computer Itunes account?

Have you failed to maintain a backup copy?
You should never update without making sure your backup copy of your computer is up to date.
You can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod to computer: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

My childs ipod and my ipad have the same email address and itunes ID how do I stop both devices duplicating everything, change email address or set up new itunes account?

On each device go to Settings> iTunes and App store> Turn off automatic downloads of Music, Apps and Books. Now a purchase will only go to the device from which it was ordered.

I would like to link my iPad to a new iTunes account. It is "locked" wrong

I will try to be clear here, thanks for your suggestions. I have been a iTunes user for years with a few iPods and iPhones linked to my iTunes account. All is operating perfect. I just received a iPad for business from my employer. When I registered it with iTunes (on my work PC) I signed up for a new iTunes account with a new Username and Password, credit card, etc. I think my mistake came when I plugged my work iPad into my home mac. This action opened up iTunes (as usual) to my home iTunes account. I copied a few albums over to listen to while traveling. I also wanted the iPad to charge up the battery. After battery was charged I disconnected the iPad. I then went to install an app on the iPad and when I clicked "install" for the app, the window appeared to enter your iTunes password......BUT the window indicated the iTunes account was for my personal iTunes user name, not the work User name.
So the question is: How do I "reset" (sych/marry) my iPad iTunes account to the new one I set up?
Thank you!
Chris

If you contact the iTunes Store they MAY merge you accounts. Did you by any chance sync with the home computer? You can manage music with multiple computer see:

On the iPad if you go to Settings>Store you can sign of of the existing iTunes account and sign into another account.

How do you change an used ipad to a new user with a new itunes account?

How do you cange a used ipad to a new user with a new itunes account?

plug your ipad to your computer, open your itunes, click on the ipad icon, at the first page there is an option to "restore" ipad to its factory settings, click it. Don't remove USB connection, wait until it finishes wiping the data and it should place a new window that asks you to register the ipad.
There you go, your iPad is sync with your itunes account under your name, its best to also use "Find my iPad" just in case it gets lost, you can track it from your computer. Very handy tool and its free!
But if you want the data that is in the iPad, back up it first and sync the content to your library before restoring it to its factory settings
Have a great day and enjoy your iPad

I just got my first Apple product (ipod touch) and am needing to know how to transfer music from another itunes list. Can music that is currently on another ipod and/or computer be transferred to my new touch and my new itunes account? Thank you!

Recently purchased my first Apple product (ipod touch) and am needing to know how to transfer music from other ipods and other itunes accounts. Can this be done? I have plugged in another ipod into my new itunes account and it will not let me transfer the music that it contains into my new account. Any/all help is much appreciated. Thank you!

I have no music in my itunes account yet. I am trying to transfer music from friends' accounts and their ipods/playlists.

Can I move an IPad to a new iTunes account without losing the apps?

I currently have two devices on my itunes account, and would like to move one the devices to a new itunes account (not mine). Is it possible to do this without losing all of the apps that have been acquired on that device?

You can only have one library per user account on a PC/Mac.
So, if you need to create a new library, then create a new user, and transfer the content you want over to that new user. Then sync.
Can you clarify a little more what you're needing?

HT2534 How can I make a new iTunes account so I can use the computer to download music on my ipad

How can I make a new iTunes account so I can use the computer to download music on my ipad

Why not use your previous iTunes account (Apple ID)? Explain a little more, please.

I have mistakenly opened up a new iTunes account. Can I transfer purchases from one account to the other?

I have recently bought a new iPad mini and tried to set it up and share with my old iTunes account.
I thought I was changing email addresses for contact info, but was actually setting up a new iTunes account and paid for the £21 a year sharing service.
I have a few (not many) tunes purchased on my old iTunes account.
Is there a way of merging/closing my old account and transferring purchases across to the new iTunes account?
I could swap between the two, but doing that on the phone/ipad will mean I cannot swap back for 90 days!!!!!
Thanks

Did you ever get around to transfer purchases from your old iPhone to iTunes in your computer. If you did, your ringtone will be there and all you need to do is sync it back to your new iPhone.
Ringtones can only be downloaded once from the iTunes Store that is why the user guides recommend that you transfer purchases from the iPhone to the computer.
If you never synced your old iPhone to iTunes, then you need to do that now so that you can get your ringtone on your new iPhone.

When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?

Yes. I would clarify your statement about the "shared" iTunes Library though. If you want each iOS device to have its own music library, you should create separate user accounts for them. Read:
