I traded iPads with my daughter. How do I get my iTunes account on this one? When I try to update it wants her information?

I traded iPads with my daughter. How do I get my iTunes account on this one? When I try to update it wants her iTunes information.

You can tap on the account in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores if it's on iOS 6) and log out of it and then log in with yours. But if any of the apps that are currently on the iPad were downloaded by her account then only her account will be able to download updates to those apps - content from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, not to the account that is currently logged in.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You first need to sign into the account in iTunes on your laptop, then you need to transfer the content from your moms laptop and import it into iTunes on yours. You can do this in a number of ways, either over a network, with an external drive, or even a USB stick.
If you go to iTunes preferences > advanced on your moms laptop, it will tell you where the original files can be found.

Hi 1Donald,
To answer your question, ''"How can my new desktop have a KEY when it is not even part of the sync yet?"''
You need to get the key from the new device and enter it into the old device. So on the old device select "Pair a device" and the place to enter the key will show up.
I hope this helps.

HT4889 how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air

how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air?

thanks but exactly how do I do this. I tried setting the new macair up using migration assistant but for some reason not everything has come through. I bought a thunderbolt cable to improve the transfer rate.
Now my question is how do I transfer the iTunes folder. I have authorised the new macair for iTunes and am within the 5 computer limit.

Shutdown of itunes program when searching for music. How to fix this proble

I have a problem with itunes. When I go into the itunes store and search for music it shows the loading bar at the top that shows its progess and when it is finished a screen pops up that says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" and itunes closes. I have tried to change settings but nothing works.

^ I did everything you said except download the new itunes (I have dialup and can't tie up my phone line for 4 hours) and nothing is different.
When I send the error report it "says" that apple has a solution for the problem and it provides a link provided by apple (which by the way is crap and just sends you to the store which has 0 solutions to this problem). I try to look through the help files but it is extreemly anti-helpful.
If no one can help me then can someone please post the phone number to the support line for apple products (another thing they forgot to put anywhere in my ipod manuals which is stupid).
Thanks
(sorry if I sound ****** off but I am cus I baught an Ipod but I can't even use itunes)

My old computer died completely and I lost everything including my itunes account. How do I get my old itunes account back onto my new computer. The old itunes account is still active on my ipad 2.

An itunes account is just a user name and password. You can use your account from any computer/device with itunes.
Do you mean your library ( music/apps/content)?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to bakcup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod/ipad/iphone: File>Transfer Purchases or you can redownload some purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How do i get my itunes account on my new computer from my old one which is gone.....

had set up my new computer and i have accessed my itunes account....i can not get all the music i had from my other computer even though i am in the same account....y is this? I can cancel out the other account becausse none of those computers r operating right now.

Have you copied the backup of your music from your old computer onto your new one and done File > Add Folder to Library in iTunes ? If you are expecting to be able to re-download your music purchases from iTunes then you can't - media (music, films, tv shows) can only be downloaded once, which is why you are advised to make, and maintain, backups of any purchased content.

How do I get my itunes account to let me download apps without making an error pop up saying to review my account information?

My itunes account won't let me download any apps because it says my account hasn't been set up with itunes. When I sign in and go through the payment set up it still won't let me download any apps and puts me through the same process all over again. Any tips?? It's driving me crazy!

I gave in and am now using IMAP but I still find the behaviour a bit wierd...

How do I switch my iTunes account (with all my music) from my PC to my new Mac?

I originally opened an iTunes account on my PC. I have a little over 1,000 pieces of music on it. I now own a Mac, but don't know how to get my music onto my iTunes account from my Mac. I also own an iPhone and the classic iPod if that helps.

"Not sure when Apple started charging to swap your library, but i guess there is a price for everything.
Yes homesharing will allow you to move the apps as well.
Im not sure how tech savvy or computer literate you or someone in the house is, but if you follow the directions its pretty easy, provided you are somewhat familiar with itunes."
I went to our local Apple Store and asked this questions and they told me I could bring in both computers and they would do it and it would cost $100.00. I thought that was rediculous.
Anyway, I turned on the homesharing for both computers and got everything to show up on my Mac, but it isn't in the "Library" it is in the middle of the left column as more of a file.
So I wonder, do I have to always be hooked up to the wifi here at home in order to get the file? If I'm out of the house using my computer will the file show up with all my music? I want to have my music permanently on my Mac. I don't want to use my PC for my iphone and music anymore. I've had too many problems trying to sync my iphone and keeping iTunes working correctly from my PC. This is why I finally bought a Mac.
Thanks again for the help.
