Accessing iTunes Account from Multiple PC's

Am I able to access my iTunes account (and my entire library of music) from more than one PC? If yes, are there risks or important things to know before doing so? thanks WFGP

You can access your account, but the music will only be where you put it.
It doesn't just magically appear on any computer that you log into. You would have to copy the music and put it on the computer.
You can use home share, your backup copy, cds, dvds, external drives,etc to copy and move music if you like.

Can I access my itunes account on multiple computers?

What do you mean access?
You can certainly sign into your account from any computer with itunes.
Your content will only be where you put it. You can put it/copy it wherever you like.
In some countries you can redownload some itunes purchased content:

Accessing Itunes account from a new computer

My computer has crashed, so I cannot access my itunes. How can I access it from another computer?

Depends on what you mean.
You can access your account ( buy new music,etc.) by signing into your account.
If you mean accessing the music, then use your backup copy to move the music to the new computer.
You get ONE download, then it is up to you to backup your music ( incase of loss). If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( terrible idea), then you could transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:

Accessing iTunes music from multiple computers, platforms?

Please accept my apologies in advance if this is a dumb question, but I'm a newbie and I need help.
I have a PC that I have been using as a storage drive for a (33GB +) collection of iTunes (recently upgraded to iTunes 8.02.20). I play those tunes on a 1st generation 4GB Nano, as well as at home on the computer. That PC is one of several that runs on a peer-to-peer wired and and wireless network in my house, the wireless part through several different access points.
All of my music was loaded into iTunes from recordings I own, either on CD or digitized from vinyl. None was bought on the iTunes store or downloaded from the web, so I don't think there should be any DRM issues, but I don't know if there are any limitations imposed by iTunes as a default.
I have two questions:
1 - I recently got a MacBook Pro, and I'd like to be able to duplicate a portion of my music onto its hard drive (but nowhere near all, as it would clutter up the hard drive unacceptably).
2 - I'd also like to be able to get at the iTunes files from all of the machines on the network, without duplicating the files themselves, if that's possible (to be able to include them in creating slideshows, movies, etc.)
Is there any way to make this possible? Are there any DRM issues that attend doing something like this? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Here is the background article on that - if you look at the network share as the "publicly accessible music folder" while reading it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
So basically you have the network share. All the users drag files from it into their itunes library, so the database ITL file knows where to go to play it.

And make sure each user has the option for copying files turned OFF, or you'll get duplicate files on the share.

How do i access an old itunes account from a closed email, how do i access an old itunes account from a closed email

If you want to sync your iPhone with a new computer, take a look at this Apple doc -> Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
iTunes will let you sync some stuff from multiple computers, but it'll only let you sync music, videos or apps from one iTunes library.

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?

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is ituens purchases. The ipod is not a backup device.
Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

HT1203 How can I access my itunes account from a different computer as I need to cancel a subscription and I am on holiday at the moment

Hello
I need to access my itunes account from a different computer as I need to cancel a subscription and I am on holiday at the moment.
Am I already now logged in to Apple ??
Thanks

If the Computor you are on has iTunes library go to tunes as if u were going to buy a song or film and you can log into your account. At the bottom of the iTunes home page you should see the user that is logged on usually a email address. Click on it to log them out and enter your own apple I'd and password. You can then update whatever you want and log back out after

Hi Kevin,
Have you authorized the Computer to your Apple ID?
If not, sign on to iTunes.
Then got to the Store menu option at the top of the screen (CTL+B if it is not showing), and click on it to display the dropdown, and select Authorize this computer.
If that doesn't work, then sign on your Dad's iTunes ID and repeat the Authorization process.
Cheers,

Want to transfer my iTunes account from our PC to our Macbook, but my wife already has her own iTunes account on it...is this possible?

I am wanting to transfer my itunes account from our PC to our Macbook pro. Our PC has been riddled with problems and is slower than heck. The only problem is that my wife already has her own Itunes account on the Macbook. I have already consolidated the itunes library from my pc and backed it up to an external HD to move, but I have no idea where to go from here. I don't want to overwrite any of her stuff. Please help!

There are many ways to accomplish this, depending on how you want it. Setting up multiple accounts is easy under System Preferences:Accounts. After that open iTunes on your newly created account.
Now, is where you could do a couple of different things. If your PC is sharing the same network and you are able to see the files on the PC from the iMac, then just drag and drop the iTunes Library music folder structure (just the part that contains the actual music) into the iTunes window. If you can't access the PC files, then you need to copy them all to an external hard drive, and import them w/ the same method.
If you don't want to create a second root-level account for yourself, but want to keep the music library separate, create another iTunes Library. You do this by holding down the Option key while starting iTunes, then click on the Create Library option. Then import the music using either method above.

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.
