    Hello stephencadmaster,

     

    While you cannot transfer purchases to a different Apple ID, you can utilize Family Sharing. I've linked to an article that explains how to share content between Apple IDs using this feature:

     

    Family Sharing - Apple Support

     

    All your family’s purchases, on all your family’s devices.

     

    Once you’ve set up Family Sharing, all the eligible songs, albums, movies, TV shows, books, and apps ever purchased by family members are immediately available to everyone else in the family. And, of course, so are new purchases. The content appears automatically in the Purchased tab in iTunes, iBooks, or the App Store for each family member. Just select the family member whose collection you’d like to browse, then download and play the content you choose. Other family members can access your collection in the same way. If you want to keep some purchases private, you can choose to hide individual items.

     

     

    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

     

    Cheers,

    BobbyD
