Transferring iPod music synced to an old iTunes account
I have an iPod which is synced to an old iTunes account we no longer use. When the computer crashed the thousands of personal CDs we had in iTunes went away. I now have several iPads and a new iTunes account I would like to get on the same page....how can I get the music from that device to my new devices?
If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.

Old computor crashed and burned. purchase new lenovo lap top with windows 7. got new itunes account. with new usename and password. how do I retrieve my old music libraries from my old itunes account.
Why did you start a new itunes account? This will just cause problems.
Your library will only be where you put it.
It has alwasys been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good at all, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

Problems Syncing from an old Itunes Account
When I first bought my IPOD Nano (4th Gen) I must have sync'd it with an old Itunes Account. How can I move the songs on my IPOD to my New Account if I don't know the old account name or password?
You can't. Purchases made with the older Apple ID are tied to that particular account forever. You'll need to reset the password to that account. If you don't know either the password or username, you'll want to contact Apple Support for assistance.

my computer crashed so i had to reformat, but the only problem is i lost my old itunes account, had to download new version. Now i have an ipod full of music but how can i place all my music I have on the ipod into my new itunes account??
Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

I am trying to get an old iTunes account reactivated for my new MacBook Pro. Originally I had iTunes for my iPod Shuffle and connected to it with a Windows laptop. I have dumped Windows in favor of Mac OS and now have a MacBook Pro with iTunes installed. I want to get at the 100s of songs I had out on iTunes but my email address for the old account is no longer active (was a work account and I have since retired). How do I get a new email address (and ID) assigned into my old account so I can access it and get at my music?
Unfortunatly, you can't. I had the problem with an iPod classic and looked into it. You could make a new apple account and transfer it to that, but thats it and even that isn't garenteed to work.

I got a new computer and haven't used iTunes in years. I have an iPod and want to put my music from it onto iTunes on the new computer. I don't remember my old iTunes account info but i have a new apple ID for my iphone and ipad.

My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends. After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account. I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account, and staring over. I just really want to get the new Ipod under my own account, and be able to use it...
There is no such thing as a "sub-account." Also, you probably mean iTunes library, when you say "account." Your "account" in iTunes is your Apple ID, which is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store to make purchases. iPods are associated with an iTunes library, not with an Apple ID (iTunes Store account). You'll need to clarify...
So, this is what I think you are saying. You previously shared an iTunes library on a computer with your friend. Your old iPod was synced to that iTunes library.
You got an iPhone, and at that time, you set up your own iTunes library. Is that on a different computer? How does the iPhone affect your question about the iPod?
You got a new iPod. What is your "old iTunes"? Is that the iTunes library you shared with your friend? -
My ipod reset itself it would not let me log into my old itunes account so I made a new one how can I get to all my music and stuff.

i lost my ipod :[...im getting a new one....can i still use mt old itunes account and get all of my old music...or is that just a lost cause? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can use a new iPod with the music currently located in your iTunes library; when you hook the new iPod to your computer, iTunes will begin transferring songs to it, or you can drag songs onto the iPod in the iTunes source list, depending on the iPod's synchronization mode. You may be asked to set up the new iPod when it is plugged in.

Want to sync iphone to my itunes account that I use with my ipod
I have recently purchased an iphone 4S and when i switched it on for the first time it came up with a set-up screen. One of the options was to set it up as a new iphone (new apple ID and password) or to restore from an itunes back-up. I would like to sync it to my itunes account that I use with my ipod but my laptop is being repaired. Which option should I choose? - Can I set it up as new iphone (ie new apple ID) and then sync it to my itunes account later or do I need to wait and connect it to my laptop? It wont let me do anything with the phone until I have finished the set-up..
Thanks!Do not set it up with a new Apple ID. You can set up as a new phone but with your old Apple ID. Purchases are specific to an Apple ID.

I have an old iTunes account on an old PC. I bought a new MacBook Air less than a year ago. When I was at the store, purchasing my new Mac, I couldn't remember my old iTunes account password. The sales rep encouraged me to open a new iTunes account, and assured me I would be able to merge the two accounts. I have put very little music on my new iTunes account, and I want to figure out how to transfer my old account onto my new computer. I am about to purchase the new iPhone, which I will use as my main music source since my old iPod just died. I want to make this transfer before I make my new purchase, as I will be getting a $50 iTunes credit, and I need to know which account to attach it to. (Also, I was given an iTunes credit on my new iTunes account when I purchased my MacBook Air, which I have not fully used yet.)
Thanks for your prompt response, Niel. I had already seen that link. So, my question is if I can't merge the accounts, then what will happen when I move my old library to my new computer? Will the new computer then have the two separate libraries or will the old library replace the new library?
Also, if both libraries can co-exist on my new computer, it sounds like I will have to choose which library I want to put on my new iPhone, correct? I won't be able to put music from both, is this right?
