Transferring music from one account to another

I wanted to know if there is any way I can transfer music from one account to another account, my music library has over 1000 songs and i do not want to download them again, is there a way? THANKS!

Below is the information on how to take the music and transfer it to another machine that will be using the same apple ID.
But as stated earlier there is no way to transfer music to a brand new Apple ID without having to purchase it again as all music is tied into the Apple ID used at time of purchase.

Transferring music from one account to another on the same computer

Set up a second itunes account on a different computer user. How do I transfer the music from the original account to the second account?

All of the files should be stored on the hard drive and accessible from either account so long as you made the new account an administrator account. You would just need to navigate to wherever you have the music stored on your hard drive.
File > Add Folder to Library
Then select the folder, wherever it may be stored on your hard drive.

How do I transfer my music from one account to another

I'm trying to figure out how t transfer my music from one account to another since someone hacked into my girlfriends account and now iTunes locked her account as a one account use only and majority of my music was bought with my card. Is there any way to transfer all my purchased music into my new account? I still have the music I purchased on my pc.

You can't, all content is tied to the account that purchased / downloaded it and it can't be copied or transferred to a different account.

Lisa,
Just get copies of the song files and add them to your iTunes library. With the exception of any DRM-protected files (purchased before mid-2009 and never upgraded) they will play fine, even though they are technically associated with the original account.

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.

Help transferring data from one account to another

I bought my computer in August 2008 and had previously had an iBook. When transferring my data from my old computer to the new one, I guess I did it wrong so instead of it transferring all to the same place it created two accounts.
Is there way to transfer my music/pics etc to my main account?
Also, my iphone is backed up the other account because thats where all my music is, is there a way to also keep all this data once I am using only the main account?

When you use Migraine Assistant, it transfers the account of the older machine to the newer because the users name is involved in everything, like iTunes playlists etc.,
Since to run Migraine Assistant you need to have gone through setup on the Mac and created the main Admin account, when you Migrate, you transfer the other account so you wind up with two accounts on the new machine.
All you have to do is log into the Admin account of the first user you created, then change the acount status of the Migrained account to Admin and reboot, check it out well, then delete the first Admin account at your own leaisure. However it's best to leave two accounts on the machine, just in case your locked out for some reason.
If you rather transfer your files from one account to another use the Shared Drop Box
If you have three accounts on the machine (original admin and two migrained migrateda accounts), you'll just have to monkey around and clean up the mess.

How can i move music from one account to another

You can't transfer content from one account to another account, nor can you merge accounts - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it

Transferring tunes from one account to another

Apparently I once set up an account with a different name...when I lost my hard drive....now i have 67 purchased tunes that won't load on my iPod because I "don't have authorization to listen to them on this computer." I have tried everything suggested...re-authorizing the computer doesn't do it. Is there anyway to get the tunes purchased under one account over to the current account?

When you purchase protected content with a certain account, a computer MUST be authorized with THAT account only to play that content. There is no way to transfer ownership of a song from one account to another.
However, I am not sure why authorizing your computer is a problem. You authorized your computer with your old account which the music was purchased with, and they still didn't transfer?
I suppose what you could maybe do is contact Apple Support and explain your situation here: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html?form=music&topic=Music%20Purcha ses&subtopic=Music%20Overview, but I'm not entirely optimistic they would fulfill that request.

How to transfer music from one account to another

I created a new apple id account and I want to transfer my music from my previous account to my new one. How do I do that?

Navsamm,
You can't. Music purchased from iTunes is associated in perpetuity (like, forever) to the account from which it was originally purchased. There is not a way to change it.
It is possible, but clumsy, to manage music from multiple accounts. Unless you have some unusual requirement, it is best to use just a single account.
