You can use and external drive/flash drive/dvd/cd/etc.

  • HT204053 How can I switch my iTunes account from US store to Nigeria store?

    How can I switch my iTunes account from US store to Nigeria store?

    If you are asking because you are getting an 'account not in this country' error message then on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on the device and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section on that screen and select Nigeria.
    If you need to update your address on your account from the US to Nigeria then on your computer's iTunes you should be able to do so by signing into your account via the Store > View Account menu option and updating your address, or on an iOS device you can do it by tapping on your id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store similar to above.

    How can I delete an iTunes account from my iPhone so it's no longer associated with my device?

    If you mean that it has the 90 day association : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    then you can either wait for the 90 days to complete, or you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can remove the association : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • How do I import iTunes library from old PC to new PC using Home Sharing?

    I have an old PC with the latest version of iTunes. I have a new PC with an empty new version of iTunes. How do I import the library to the new PC iTunes? I thought Home Sharing was the way to go, but I can't get it to work. Also tried syncing my iPhone to new PC, but that doesn't bring the library over. Please help!
    Thanks!

  • 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.

  • How do I move my itunes account from one country to another?

    How do I move my itunes account from one country to another?  I set up my itunes account in the United States and now I live in England.  I would like to transfer my purchases from my US account to my British account and then download them onto my new ipod.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes and I have updated my Windows 7 operating system.  I have tried to get in touch with apple and the advisor said he could not help me.  Ideas? 

    Before you change the country, note the following:
    - you must use any remaining store credit on your account
    - download all purchased content
    - ensure you have no current rentals(if you do, you'll have to wait for them to expire)
    - provide a new payment(such as a credit or debit card) associated with a valid billing address in the UK or an iTunes Gift Card purchased in the UK
    - content purchased from the iTunes Store is country-specific. If you wish to upgrade any of your iTunes Store content to iTunes Plus, you'll need to do this before you change countries. The content you purchased while your account was set to the previous country will not be eligible for upgrade once you've changed countries.
    - after you change countries, you will no longer receive application update notifications in iTunes for the apps you purchased in your original country. However, you'll still receive update notifications on your iOS device for any applications installed on it. In addition, you'll be able to download previously purchased applications again for free if they are available on your new country's store. You will not be charged and the download will not appear on your Purchased page. If a previously purchased application is not available in your new country, you will not be able to download it again for free.
    - If you have an iTunes Match subscription, you can't change countries until the subscription has expired.
    - If you have purchased a Season Pass, you cannot change the country associated with your account until that season is done airing and the last episode of the season has been added to the iTunes Store.
    Taking the above into consideration, here's how to change your country:
    1. Open iTunes and click Sign In.
    2. Enter your iTunes Store account name and password, then click Account Info.
    3. On the Apple Account Information page, click Change Country or Region.
    4. Enter the updated information and save your changes.

  • How can I remove an iTunes account from a computer I'm giving away?

    How do I remove my iTunes account from a computer that I am giving to a student in my school? I want the music I purchased to play, but I don't want the student to have access to my email address or my credit card that is tied to "my account". I went through the steps to deauthorize a computer but encountered two problems:  1) The only command offered was "deauthorize all". There was no list of the authorized computers where I could check a box to select the one to deauthorize.  2) If I want to leave the music with the computer, but remove the authorization.

    If you are giving the computer away you should not include music you've purchased: the purchase doesn't include the right to make copies to give to other people, which is what you would in effect be doing. The same applies to any purchased sofrtware which wasn't bundled with the computer when new.
    The proper procedure when selling or giving a computer is to erase it completely and restore it to its out-of-the-box condition from the original disks. You should also make sure to include the disks which came with the computer.

  • How do i transfer an itunes account from my old computer to another computer which already has an itunes account registered to someone else

    how do i transfer an itunes account from one computer to another which already has another account on it which is registered with someone else

    There is no account stored on any computer, the library however is stored.
    To move the iTunes library from one computer to another, copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from one computer to another.

  • How can I access my iTunes account from my iPhone.

    1- I can't access my iTunes account from my iPhone.
    Do I have to sync them or can I download the songs I bought without connecting with my macbook?
    Last time i connected the two, all my music got deleted. Must have done something wrong, but have no idea how to prevent that from happening again.
    2- My "preferences" panel in iTunes, only shows apps and books, not music- Why?
    3- I can't save any music on iClod.

    hello. 
    i followed your link on how to delete content from all things Apple, and nothing removes books, movies, music... it just gives said device(s) the iCloud/download icon on top of the book, movie...  not sure what the 'hide' purchase actually does - after X'ing/hide, everything STILL appears across all devices using that account.  could you clarify this any further?
    if i am understanding iTunes correctly, then EVERYTHING we download (free or purchased) will be FOREVER accessible with zero way for us to control what is filling up this mysterious vault called the cloud?  (creepy- apple is keeping EVERYTHING, what happens when the cloud gets full?)
    since we have iCloud.com and it shows our "stuff" that we iCloud sync from our devices such as notes, contacts, calendar... then why doesn't apple provide an iCloud.com tab that shows ALL of our purchases so we as CONSUMERS control/delete what is in our account? 
    we download ALOT of apps to try and then delete them off our devices.  that works fine, but movies and books are always there.  maybe a glitch?

  • How do I transfer my iTunes account from a PC to a Mac?

    How do I transfer my iTunes account from a PC to a Mac?

    There's a couple of things you can do. First, on your Mac, log in to iTunes with your Apple ID. This will allow you to download the songs you've already purchased on iTunes. Transferring the files manually can be tideous, so I would reccommend calling Apple Support and they will guide your through it, or you can schedule an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, and they will help take care of it for you.
    Hope this helps,
    Corey
