4 itune libraries are authorized to an old account; my ipad is linked to new account but wont play songs from old account_how to solve?
one very old 1st gen mbp (grampa( must not upgrade past itunes 8 or it doesnt recognize my ipod shuffle. it's running tiger 10.4.11
the macbook from 2009 runs snow leapoard as does the mac mini. they both recognize the new iopd nano and have itunes 10. neither recognizes the old ipod shuffle
all 3 are linked to a dead account, which doesnt even have a password. so i cant buy songs. it just has a death grip on songs i want to share . it was an aol account, which i havent used im years, but it appears in the itunes store.
the ipad 2 is running snow leopard, it is linked to my new mobile me id. when i tried to import songs purchased with the old account, the ipad was not authorized to play them...even though the songs are on hard drives and ipods. AND purchased legally by me -- just under an old account.
also --an extra mac seems to be authorized -- i'm up to my quota of 5 wit the 5th mac not authorized yet! --is there a way to determine which mac is authorized twice?
thank you so much for your help.
ps+last question: my ex left a bunch of song on my music library that i am not authorized to play__ any was to do a quick search for his downloaded music and junk it so doesnt take up space in my library?
thx!

Where did you try to import them to?

New ipod need help with songs from old one NEED HELP!!!!
I got a new ipod nano 3rd gen. but it wont let me take all of my old songs from my old ipod(nano 1st gen) and put them on my new one! I dont want to lose my songs so PLEASE HELP!!
When I did that on my old ipod and it said doing so will delete all the songs on it and replace it with my library. When I did it on my new ipod it just put the songs that was already in that playlist back on the ipod, not the songs that i need from the old one.

Cannot play songs from old Apple ID
I had initially registered my iTunes with one email address and purchased a bunch of music. I have since changed email addresses... but certain songs require me me to login with my old email address. I used the same password with both accounts... but I still can't play the song.
This page had some advice:
If the correct email address is listed on your My Info page, simply add a space after your street address to update your My Info account with your new email address.

I had a laptop that had over 2,000 songs in my library but it crashed and my ipod could only hold a little over 1000. Later, when I got my new laptop, I synced my ipod to it only to have all my songs disappear. I did the itunes media folder thing and only got about half of my songs back (some from CDs, some from the itunes store and some from amazon downloads). I hadto get a newhard drive for my laptop and now i have a new ipod. So how can I getback my old songs and then get ALL of my songs tranfered to my new ipod?
Hello Chris,
Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
Thanks for answering so fast.
Bye.

ITunes libraries are stored on a hard drive the PC doesn't recognize!
HELP! Our four iTunes libraries are "backed up" on an external hard drive that our PC (Dell desktop running Windows XP) no longer recognizes. Santa provided iPod Touches for kids but we're all afraid to hook them up to the PC because we don't what will happen if we create "new" iTunes accounts -- do we lose the money that's still locked up in our "old" iTunes accounts? Do we lose the 400+ songs and videos in the "old" iTunes accounts?
Don't make new accounts - you will forever need to remember the login credentials for all those accounts!
There is a Transfer Purchases feature so you can get your songs and videos off the ipods.

Ive changed my apple id. in my iPad and iPhone under iTunes it's showing the new id but under iCloud still shows old I'd. I have been told to delete account and add in new one but worried in case lose all my stuff that's already saved in iCloud. any idea?
If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID. Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll). -
I have 2 Apple ID's, how do I delete the old one as its interferring with my new account and the music I have already purchased through ITunes does not want to play. Any suggestions?
Why would you create a new account?
All purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
You will have to authorize your computer for all the accounts from which music is purchased. -

My macbook pro is already authorized, but a purchased song from iTunes keeps stating that my computer is not authorized to play it. I enter my apple ID and password, upon which a window confirms that my computer is already authorized. Yet the song still won't play and continues to state that my computer is not authorized.
If you live in a country in which you are allowed to re-download purchased music delete the track from the library and the HDD and re-download it.

I have 3 iTunes libraries on my one one computer and since I updated to the new version I can no longer see who's library I am in. It used to show at the top of iTunes the name of the library I was in. Is there a way I can tell which library I am in without closing and reopening?
No. Frequently the apps take up more storage space on the iPod that the file download size.
