The <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/117294\">process<\/a> takes place on an iPhone or iPad inside the Settings app, in the &#8220;Media &amp; Purchases&#8221; section in your named account section.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few hitches to note. You can&#8217;t migrate purchases from or into a child&#8217;s account that exists inside Family Sharing. You can only migrate purchases to an account once a year. There are some complications if you have music libraries on both accounts and also if you have never used the primary account for purchases or downloads. And migration is not available in the EU, UK, or India.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night, Apple posted a new support document about migrating purchases between accounts, something that Apple users with long online histories have been waiting on for years, if not decades.
