Apple ID for iTunes Many years ago when my wife and I bought iPhones we shared the same Apple ID for signing in to iTunes. Now she has a fitness business she has all of her music on our shared iTunes account which is really annoying. Is there any way of using her own Apple ID for iTunes but transferring all of her music and playlists?

Sync two itunes accounts Hello!, I currently have my own Apple ID which I use on my phone. But I also have another account that I guess is under my name now, that account use to belong to my father. He passed away. So I would like to know if I can move all those movie/song/app purchases into my own? I do not wish to switch accounts everytime I want to watch something different.

can I merge my itunes account with my apple ID? Previously asked question. The answer was “no, try using family sharing”. This doesn’t work. I also had a legacy itunes account before we owned any apple computers and way before iPhone. When we set up our first mac years later, they suggested a .me username and we used the original itunes gmail account for our itunes password, since we already had several thousand dollars of music and video associated with that account. It appears that set-up is no longer supported by apple - ie a different appleid and itunes account for purchases. Family share was supposed to be the answer. But it will only let you share the content associated with the appleid, not the itunes account that has a different id. So all of our music and video is stuck on an account that we can no longer share, or even access unless we’re on a version of os that allows separate accounts. IOS doesn’t appear to support this anymore, it’s just a single id - the appleid associated with that device. any advice?

No, you cant transfer purchases from one iTunes account to another.
