Transferring App Store Purchases - Possible?
Today I had to give up my iPhone. AT&T service where I live is just too terrible to keep it since I need a reliable phone.
I had bought quite a number of App store apps over the last couple of years, and I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible for me to transfer those purchases to a friend's iTunes account. Seems a shame to just let them sit in my iTunes, unused.

if they just want your apps, they could just sync the apps ONLY on your computer

edit: n/m i thought this was possible, but apparently not.. lol

It wont let you sync the apps on another computer if the itunes account is different.

Just to clear things up.....
What he is asking is illegal. He paid for the apps, she did not. 1 license = 1 person. Apple doesnt allow them to be transferred.
Now...not that I care....however the forum rules dictate no discussion of anything cracked/pirated/warez.
So, there may be ways of accomplishing it...but we arent going to discuss them here.

Good enough. No, I'm not looking to do anything illegal, just looking to transfer (not copy) my purchases to another person so they would be the owner. Ah the wonders of DRM.
Well maybe someday I'll get an iPod touch, or the iPhone will come to a better carrier. Thanks all!

you can still use your iphone as an extra think ipod touch with a built in mic.

no signature links or spam.... only warning

Yeah, but it's more worth it for me to sell.
