Suppose you got an amazing movie from iTunes Store, you may like to share it to your friends or family immediately. However, you’ll be disappointed to find that it’s no easy job to transfer the iTunes movie purchase to other iTunes accounts as Apple doesn’t allow you to. Due to DRM, currently Apple doesn’t provide a straightforward way to consolidate iTunes media files from different accounts to one account. So how can you anyway share your iTunes movies to other Apple accounts? Is it possible? The good news is that there are some workarounds to enable you share and access the iTunes movies to others easily. In the following article, we’ll show you the top 2 methods to transfer your iTunes purchased as well as rented movies to other Apple IDs with ease.

Method 1. Share iTunes Movies to Other Accounts via iTunes Family Sharing

iTunes Family Sharing allows you to share iTunes media files from library including movies, music, iBooks, audiobooks within 6 people with different iTunes accounts in your family easily.

You can follow these steps to learn how to set up Family Sharing and start sharing your iTunes movies to other Apple ID on Mac.
