This is a nice thread, but there is something I am not very happy about. When I dragged the file from my flash drive (Angry Birds 1.6.1.ipa from one iTunes library) into my other iTunes library on a different account, it charged me 99 cents! I would like it if you give me an answer to how to drag my apps I paid for from one iTunes account to another for FREE, that is what I thought this whole thread is about. ALSO, tell everybody that this thread does not tell you that you can put paid apps to another account for free. If you do have an answer, please email me at camvahe@charter.net. Thank you.

I’m not sure what you mean by verifying their payment and providing a credit card security code. When my son wants to update an app that I bought, we just put in my password and it updates. Very easy.

It sounds easy but the complication comes when trying to update the other users apps from your iPhone. You have to provide the other users password as well as verify their payment info AND provide the credit card security code. It is a big pain.

This is a great thread but there is a bit of information missing. If you go for the copying ipa files to the second computer using a thumb drive option they won’t show up in i tunes until you open them. So when you have imported them select them either individually or all together and open them. (just double click or right click and select open from the menu). Then they will show up in i tunes and be available to sync with your iphone/touch.
