Want to Transfer Apple ID account

Apple has some serious issues related to the new required email address format for Apple IDs. I recently experienced a very frustrating several hours trying to get a new iPad registered. I have a existing non-email address Apple ID and that caused all sorts of confusion. Emails sent to me to verify changes contained an invalid link (actually no link at all).
I just had the same problem trying to submit this discussion as when I went to use my email Apple ID, it said there was a conflict and suggested going to the Apple ID Support site whcih is a rabbit hole that gets you no where.
Furthermore I understand that any apps and music I have under my old Apple ID are not accessible from my new Apple ID plus I can't transfer over any balance in my old Apple ID account. I was told that I should use up that money on music which I have done. This strikes me as a good way to generate more income for iTunes. Plus I suspect I'll have to buy new apps under that new ID or they will never be updated.
I don't see why I can't transfer my $ balance and the items I have purchased from my old Apple ID account to the new one. Please explain why that can't be done - especially if the primary email address is the same for both accounts. I don't see any legal reasons why you can't do this in that case.
This is not the level of compatibility and support that I am used to from Apple. What can we do to get Apple to address this problem that (according to this Forum) lots of people are struggling with???

Many, many, many people feel the very same way that you do. I am included among those that do not understand why two accounts cannot be combined or why there should be so much angst associated with changing an Apple ID without issues.
Nobody here knows why Apple will not allow the combining of two accounts or the carryover of a balance from an old account to a new one, but you can let your voice be heard here.

Want to transfer my iTunes account from our PC to our Macbook, but my wife already has her own iTunes account on it...is this possible?

I am wanting to transfer my itunes account from our PC to our Macbook pro. Our PC has been riddled with problems and is slower than heck. The only problem is that my wife already has her own Itunes account on the Macbook. I have already consolidated the itunes library from my pc and backed it up to an external HD to move, but I have no idea where to go from here. I don't want to overwrite any of her stuff. Please help!

There are many ways to accomplish this, depending on how you want it. Setting up multiple accounts is easy under System Preferences:Accounts. After that open iTunes on your newly created account.
Now, is where you could do a couple of different things. If your PC is sharing the same network and you are able to see the files on the PC from the iMac, then just drag and drop the iTunes Library music folder structure (just the part that contains the actual music) into the iTunes window. If you can't access the PC files, then you need to copy them all to an external hard drive, and import them w/ the same method.
If you don't want to create a second root-level account for yourself, but want to keep the music library separate, create another iTunes Library. You do this by holding down the Option key while starting iTunes, then click on the Create Library option. Then import the music using either method above.

I have a new laptop that I want to transfer my Itunes account to so I can sync my ipad and laptop. I do not want to lose the info on the ipad

I lost my old laptop I used to sync my ipad with. I also have a new email address. I have a new laptop and new email address, and want to use it to sync my ipad. I have been trying to sync both items without losing the info on my Ipad. How can I do this?

No. You're allowed up to 5 or somehting, but if you don't deauthorize the old one, when you log into the store and look up your prefs you'll see it say 2 authorized computers.
And you're welcome.

How do i transfer my iTunes account from Macbook air to windows 8 pc

I have a Macbook air newest model and i want to transfer my itunes account to a wondows 8 pc.?

An account is what you use to buy media from the iTunes Store. A library is a collection of media on a computer. Which one?
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.

I want to transfer my remaining ITunes account balance from my IMac to my husband's IPad. He has a different Username and Password. How do I make the transfer?

If any part of the balance from an iTunes gift card has been spent, the remainder of it can't be moved to another Apple ID through any means.

My old email was hacked. My old Apple ID had the password changed and now with my new Apple ID I want to delete my old account and transfer my purchases and details to my new account. How do I go about this when I cannot access my old email as it has been

My old email was hacked and my password corrupted. Now I have a new Apple ID but cannot cancel the old ID as I no longer have access to that email address. How do I cancel the old ID and merge my purchases and details with the new Apple ID?

You can't merge Apple IDs. You also can't cancel (delete) and existing ID, you can only choose to stop using it.
If your old ID was compromised and you can no longer access it, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then then 'Apple ID account Security’.

I have 2 apple IDs and I want to transfer iTunes gift card funds

I want to transfer the money from my gift card that is "redeemed" on one of my apple IDs to my other apple ID. Is that possible? The funds haven't even been used at all, I just want them on my more current apple ID that I have associated with my new iPhone. If I log into my phone with my old ID and use the funds to buy music from iTunes will the music still be accessible when I switch the account on my phone back to my current apple ID?

Sorry but no, transfer of funds from one iTunes Store account to another is not possible. You can still buy from that old account, though, and sync the content to your iPhone. I have content from three different iTunes Store accounts on my iOS devices.
Regards.

I have two apple id accounts. I would like to transfer all of my music from the old one to my new one so that I can put everything on my iPad as opposed to currently on my iPod

I cannot sync my iPad to two apple accounts. My music is on my iPod on the old account and I want to transfer it to my iPad under my new account.
Does any one know how to do this? help!!!!!!!

You cannot transfer content between two accounts. The sooner you make the conversion, the better. Just pick the new one and start using it(buying music etc).
*A lot of people open new accounts when their email changes or they have a new email. You can just access your apple id account and change the primary email that you use to log in along with other details.

How to transfer a book from one Apple ID account to another

I want to transfer a book bought on my account over to my wife's Apple ID, not just share it. Can this be done?

Add her to your family account, when she buys it it will indicate that you already own it and she can download it for free.
See http://www.apple.com/icloud/family-sharing/

For the music and photos, just copy them into your own new library. They will be usable even though they are tied to the old account. (The exception will any DRM-infected songs that you purchased from the iTunes Store before mid-2009.)
For the apps, decide which ones you still like, and get new copies in your new account.

HT1420 How can I transfer purchases to another Apple ID account?

I made an Apple ID trough iCloud and my family had another Apple ID that they use for purchases but i wanted to transfer apps that i bought from the other account so that they can be on my account now so that i can update them. Is there any way that i can do this? cause i dont want to go through all the trouble to re-download every app that i have.

As of the moment, transferring purchases between accounts is not an option. I suggest sending a feedback to Apple to improve their services.
