Transfer app purchases between accounts

Hi all,


Is it possible to transfer app purchases between two different accounts?


I trashed my old account as my iPhone was stolen. Recreate the account with the exact same information. Unfortunately I cannot update my apps as it says that I'm on a different account.


Any idea how?


Thanks.


Cheers, JS.

No.


"I trashed my old account as my iPhone was stolen. "


Why would you do that? Just change your password.

because you started a new account. not sure why you would do that.

You would have to sign into the old account in order to upgrade. This is why you don;t go creating new accounts when you can just change your password.
