3 ipods on 2 computers with different store accounts, how to consolidate into one computer for all devices?

So I'm not techy and really dislike reading all the techical stuff. So I thank everyone in advance for any short simple directions/steps.
I have 3 different iPods from different years. I have two computers (a pc & ancient apple laptop) with different sign-in accounts and I would like to know how I can get everything into one account and one new pc computer and not lose a single song, balance of gift cards, movies, & pod casts and be able to load all three of my iPods with all the stuff so they all contain the same stuff.
I have an ipod 6th generation Nano, a Classic - 160 GB and an iPod Mini.
Thanks!

It isn't possible to merge iTunes accounts.

  • HT1420 How do I deauthorize ONE computer?  All I see in account information is an option to deauthorize ALL computers.  I see where it says to deauthorize them all and then re-authorize the ones still in use but I do not want to do that.

    How do I deauthorize ONE computer?  All I see in account information is the option to deauthorize ALL computers.  I do not want to do this.  I authorized an iPad at my previous employer (school for Autism) and want to leave that one authorized so the students will still have access to the apps and music.  How can I just deauthorize the desktop (windows) that I no longer use?

    I am in a similar situation. Hoping there has been an update to fix this problem by now.... I do NOT want to deauthorize all 5 computers, AT ALL. I only want to deauthorize 1 computer I do not have anymore! Because there is no way I'd ever want to deal with re authorizing the other 4, when I only need to deauthorize ONE.
    Have they patched this problem yet?

  • 2 people with different taste of music, using ITunes on one computer.

    How do two people with two different I-pod devices use ITunes on the same computer without seeing the other persons song library?
    Story: Our house has one computer. Mom has a Nano and likes older people music; kid has I-pod Touch and likes young kids music. When I import my music CD's, the songs get mixed in with my kids music and auto sync puts all our music on both devices. ( I would like to Auto sync my device because I am not real good with computers and auto sync'ing would be easier; I think ). If I created 2 different Library files, how would I get the auto sync for my Nano to sync with my library?

    Hi nanonewbee,
    Better to create separate playlists and then (bite the bullet - this is a lot easier than trying to create a second library)....plug in one of the devices. Click on the device and when the "device Profile" screen appears:
    - Click on the Music tab
    - Check the "Sync Music" option
    - Check the "Selected playlists, albums, artists, and genres button
    A list of your Playlists will appear in the box below. Check only the playlist you want for that device.
    Smart Playlists are easier because you can set them up to automatically put new music into the correct playlist. But they are a bit more involved than regular playlists.
    For regular Playlists, just drag and drop the music you want in it from the library to the playlist on the sidebar.
    Cheers,

  • Claims debacle (error) with Term Store: "Could not retrieve a valid windows identity" for all sites in a particular web app.

    When I pull up the Term store in CA or any MySite collection, it works.
    When I do so in any other site collection (HNSCs, incidentally), It doesn't return any term stores.
    My ULS log immediately before and after the "/_vti_bin/taxonomyinternalservice.json/CheckPermission" POST on termstore .aspx triggers the WCF call:

    Claims Authentication g220 Unexpected No windows identity for contoso\domainUser.
    The "The caller is not authorized to access the service." message seems pertinent.
    Both web apps are using only NTLM auth.
    The url for both web apps ends in the same contoso.com domain. 
    I get the same errors no matter what account I use, including the install account.
    Things I've tried:
    Deleting and building a new HNSC root web app and site. Error happens in all sites in all web apps except the PBSC hosting MySites.
    Giving the root site app pool identity full control of the metadata service app (even though the MySite identitiy doesn't have it)
    Giving the root site app pool identity full permissions on the metadata service app.
    Comparing database and web app config permissions between dev (where everything works perfectly) and prod (where it does not).
    Made sure IIS auth settings on both sites are identical
    Both sites are using the same SSL certificate (though the call to the web service appears to be http)
    Reprovisioned the metadata service app with a new database and new app pool identity.
    Made sure C2WT is running. Tried it with the service stopped as well.
    Web.configs are identical between working and non-working apps.
    I'm stumped but still Googling. I'm hoping to avoid having to call Micrososft. Any help would be appreciated!
    UPDATE:
    Interestingly, when I restored the web application from backup (via CA), I ended up with 3 identical "Windows Authentication" authentication providers assigned to the problem web app. Since there was more than one, I was directed to the provider-chooser
    page when visiting the site. Upon choosing 1 of the 3, I was authenticated, and *poof*, no more authentication errors and the term store loaded term sets as expected.
    Of course, 3 providers was not an ideal state, so I grabbed the one that worked (#1) via get-spauthenticationprovider, and assigned it to the web app via set-spwebapplication, and my problem returned.
    I am currently updating the farm to SP1 from June 2013 CU. Fingers crossed.
    Update:
    The update to SP1 went smoothly, but did not resolve the issue. Also related (I believe) are the random authentication errors when trying to upload images to some libraries, and 401-errors on the accessdenied.aspx page itself.
    Update:
    The problem is resolved, seemingly after making 4 changes. I'm trying to narrow down which change was the cure, if any:
    I installed SP1 on all 6 servers, rebooted and upgraded. This appeared to have no effect.
    Removed an old login from SQL that no longer existed in AD because of this ULS error:
    System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: The user or group contoso\svc_xxxxxxxxx' is unknown., StackTrace:    at Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPUtility.GetFullNameFromLoginEx(String loginName, Boolean&
    bIsDL)
    This login was the identity of the application pool that used to run the web app in question.
    This login was the schema owner of a schema named after itself on every SharePoint database so I changed the schema owner to dbo but left the schema attached.
    The problem may have surfaced initially when the app pool identity was changed in CA, but went unnoticed?
    Note that the web app had been deleted and recreated many times with a new identity and pool to no avail, but the URL remained the same throughout each attempted fix. Relevant?
    Grasping at straws, I changed the app pool identity for this web app to the same one that runs the MySite web app pool as per this only slightly related problem: http://www.planetsharepoint.org/m/preview.php?id=372&rid=34764&author=Vlad+Catrinescu
    I changed the authentication method from NTLM to Negotiate.
    I am rolling back #3 and #4 to see if the issue resurfaces.
    Update:
    It doesn't appear to have been the NTLM/Negotiate setting. Web app is currently set to NTLM and all is well. No strange accessdenies, and term Store is still manageable from all sites.
    Update: Sorry for the delay. I am administering 6 farms these days. Will update as soon as the final phase of rollbacks happens.
    I think I can. I think I can.

    maybe that web app was accidentally created with classic auth?
    here's an example of how to create claims based, with classic, and then "doing 2013" claims
    #Create the example web application, as mentioned above, either with gui, and pick later, or
    New-SPWebApplication-ApplicationPool$applicationPool-ApplicationPoolAccount$serviceAcct-Name$WebApp-Port
    5050
    -databaseName$contentDB-securesocketslayer
    #If doing for 2013

  • Setting up one computer for one ipod with 2 accounts????

    Please see thread below with answer that didn't address question
    thanks
    have a computer with itunes my son and I each have purchased via one account. He just got a laptop. I want him to get his own account, so that his purchases are separated from mine. If he makes a purchase of a song on his account (I will have his password, etc) can I copy the song to my itunes account, and then play it; i.e., can one itunes have "two" separate accounts authorized on it (my songs and my son's songs--the few of his that I want). Similarly, can he put his purchases on his laptop, if he creates a new account (he will have my password, etc)
    thanks
    Yes, you only get one download of a purchased song, but you can copy it to other computers:

    I understand that I can copy to two computers.
    I want to know if one computer can play two songs from different accounts (ie, can you autorize one computer for two accounts?)

  • HT1296 how do you transfer music from one ipod to another with different itunes accounts?

    I have a friend who has a first generation ipod that was synced with another itunes account.  He no longer has access to it and forgot login and password.  I bought him another ipod touch 4th generation.  I opened up a new itunes account for him.  He has 470 songs on the old ipod that we want to put on the new ipod touch.  How do we do it with two different itunes.  We wish to use the new account.  Thanks for any help

    Copy the music for the old iPod to his computer by:
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
    Then sync the new iPod to that computer.

    HI Frostyfrog
    CHeck out iTunes Match which has an annual fee of £21 or thereabouts. You can store a maximum of 25,000 songs there and they all become available on your other kit, iPhone, iPad and iPod. I know it works as I have over 23000 songs uploaded of which only a few we're bought through iTunes.
    it works by comparing your music to the whole iTunes music dadata base so you access the same tunes that you could get from iTunes. If you have obscure stuff, it uploads your own music to the cloud as a copy.
    I Find it incredible that on my iPhone with its 16gb memory I can view almost 200 gb of music (ie my 23000 songs) and play any of them. Anything I add to iTunes becomes available via the cloud fairly quickly from a few minutes or a little longer if adding a lot.
    The first time you use it it will take quite a while to match your music if you have a lot, but after that it is all automatic. Read the stuff on the apple site. Your PC needs to be at least running Vista. I recommend it and at less than 50p a week it's good value.
    Good luck

  • We have 2 ipods and 1 ipad with different apps all synced to one computer.  How do I prevent these apps from automatically being synced to all three devices each time I do a backup/sync?

    We have 2 ipods and 1 ipad with different apps all synced to one computer.  How do I prevent these apps from automatically being synced to all three devices each time I do a backup/sync?

    Uncheck the option to automatically sync new apps to the device.
    Other than that, syncing is by device.
    Connect one device, tell iTunes what to sync, then sync.
    Connect second device, repeat.
    Connect third device, repeat.

    I want to dl music from 2 different itunes accounts how do i do this or can I!I could with my old apple ipod but when I try do it wit this one the only option is to erase and sync or cancel?

    That's not true. It's one computer at a time, has nothing to do with accounts. If the computer is authorized for both accounts & the music is in the same iTunes library, it will sync just fine to an iPhone.

  • Sharing music between iPods with different iTunes accounts

    My wife bought a 2nd gen (?) 4G nano, plugged it into our home computer and synced it to my daughter's iTunes account. However, she wants to create her own iTunes account ... she doesn't care for all of my daughter's music, and she wants to download/listen to songs on her own iPod that might not be appropriate for my pre-teen daughter. However, she would like to keep some of the songs that are in my daughters iTunes account. Is this possible?
