  • Can't access itunes songs from an old e-mail id

    I just purchased a new iPod and am adding songs. One of the songs I try to drop and grag is blocked and itunes asks for the password to an old e-mail address I have not used in 6 years. How can I authorize the song now that I don't recall that re-mail password anymore?

    I don't know the answer to the first part (why you can't get to iTunes through Tiger), but regarding the second part, deauthorizing will not cause you to lose any information.  While deauthorized, you won't be able to access some information, but it won't be erased or removed.

  • Access iTunes songs from external drive of old computer

    Hi,
    My old laptop’s video chip died and it made more sense to buy a new computer. The hard drive was fine, so I had it put into an external case. Unfortunately, there was music from CDs in that iTunes that I didn’t have in my iPod. I installed iTunes on my new computer that’s also running XP and it now has music on it from CDs as well, so if possible, I don’t want to simply replace the new iTunes music folder with the old one. I’d appreciate any thoughts on this.
    Thanks,
    Robert

    I just copied the iTunes .itl, .xml(not sure if I needed this one) files from the old HD onto the new C: drive, and it made a copy so now there are files named "iTunes library (2) Extras; (2) Genuius; ITunes Library (2), etc. I told it not to replace the existing ones as I didn't want to cause any other issues. Am I safe to delete the original files and just take the (2) off the file names or am I better off to leave as is? I did another shift-open and directed it to that library (2) file and it opened my library. Thanks again for the help, I really appreciate it.

  • Need help transfering iTunes songs from old account to new!

    i started my iTunes account using my AOL screen name, but since then, i have purchased a .Mac membership and have created an Apple ID. I was wondering, how do i take all of my previous purchases (Using the AOL Screen name) and transfer them to either my .Mac or Apple ID account? Any help you could give me regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated!

    You need to contact Apple.

    Send an email at the bottom of the page and tell them you want to convert an AOL account to a .mac account.

  • I have transferred my itunes library to an external drive. I then attached the external disk to a new computer. I can now access all songs from the new computer. But I can't access playlists. I can still  access all songs and playlists on the old computer

    If you right mouse and select Get info it will show you the Apple ID used to purchase these songs.
    Usually the name of an apple id is based on the email. So knowing that you may have forgotten the Apple ID password.
    You can request a new password here http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/

  • HT4972 I was downloading $15 worth of iTunes songs from a gift card when my iPod died. Now, no credit & no songs on my iPod. Where did either my $$ go or my songs that I paid for disappear? How do I get one or the other?

    I was downloading $15 worth of iTunes songs from a gift card when my iPod died. Now, no credit & no songs on my iPod. Where did either my $$ go or my songs that I paid for disappear? How do I get one or the other? I have 2 of the same iPod's and logged onto both with the same as well as different apple ID's and passwords to each respective iPod and the completion of my downloaded songs has disappeared into thin air. Where did it go? How do I get the credit too re-download those songs to the correct iPod? Please help me!! [email protected]

    What happens when you try to redownload them?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    On a computer go to iTunes>Store>View Account>Sign in and go to purchased history and see if you actually purchased them.
    Try redeeming the card again

    Hi gene98,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you still need to change the country for your iTunes Store account. Please review the attached article for information and instruction on how to do so.
    Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account

  • How to delete the unwanted songs from my account?

    how to delete the unwanted songs from my account?

    You can't permanently delete any purchase from your account, all you can do is hide them from the cloud via your computer's iTunes: iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    Unless you are referring to the U2 Songs Of Innocence album that was given free to everyone last year : http://itunes.com/soi-remove

  • Sign out of one itunes account and sign into another seperate account on same macbook.  Cannot access itunes library for 2nd account

    Sign out of one itunes account and sign into another seperate itunes account on same macbook.  Cannot access itunes library for 2nd account.  How do I do this?

    iTunes account is not the same as iTunes library.
    iTunes account is what you use to purchase from iTunes.
    iTunes library is what is on your computer.
    You can have items from multiple iTunes accounts in one iTunes library.

  • How do I transfer Itune credit from one account to another?

    My father mistakingly put $50 into his account and thought he could transfer most to me (as he won't be needing the full amount). Is there any new updates as to transferring Itunes credit from one account to another. If not, Is there a way where i can use my personal devices, and use the Itunes credit that my father won't be neeing?
    Thank you in advance.
    J

    Either ask the iTunes Store staff to put the entire balance back onto the card, or your father to pay you an amount equal to the credit he won't need.

  • How do i transfer iTunes money from one account to another

    how do i transfer iTunes money from one account to another? also forgot security question answers

    You can't, an account's balance cannot be transferred to another account, nor can it be used to gift content to another account - it can only be used to buy content for the account that it's on.
    For your security questions, if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then you can use that to reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset, and if you don't already have a rescue email address, you can then add one for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
    Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • How can I transfer some of my iTunes songs from my computer to my husband's iPhone who has a different apple ID.

    How can I transfer some of my Itunes songs from my computer to my husband's iphone?  He has a different apple ID and every time I do this, my IMac says it will erase and sync.  I've checked the manual manage box but no luck.

    It says that his computer is authorized, but as soon as I try to transfer anything, I get a message saying that my iphone is already synced with another iTunes library
    What does the iPhone have to do with anything?
    Don't plug yoru iPhone into his computer.
    Do I need my iPhone to do it or can I do it from iMac to iMac? Thanks for any help.
    So you have two different computers?
    Just enable Home Sharing and he can copy the songs from you iTunes to his then he can sync his iPhone to his iTunes.
