Can i download to a new itunes account

My old computer crashed. My son has an itunes account on my new laptop. Can I dowload the songs on my nano to the other account?

when you sync your iPod nano to the other account, it will not back it up and asks you if you want to sync it to that account, this will erase all your data from your iPod and replace it with data from your sons itunes account.
Have you tried using your account to your sons itunes? iTunes will authorized that laptop and you can safely back-up your iPod Nano. iTunes will only authorize up to 5 computers per account and you can reset it once a year so it will go back to zero and authorized your primary computer.

I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes. Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it?

A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

Why would you set up a new account?
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Its wrong to assume that everyone has a backup copy.
are you PC or Mac?

Pls can you help? Setting new itunes account, new laptop, same ipod, separating libraries

I have my 2 kids ipods set up as different libraries under my own account, which works fine, as up til now they did not have their own computers
but now one kid has their own laptop, I would like to get their own itunes account. and put their library on their laptop How do I do this please,
Ideally I would like to set up a new apple id, on their laptop, and then plug in their ipod nano and ipod touch, so that it is all there for them....without losing the music that is already on it.

Hi iamjulia91, I am experiencing a similar issue with iTunes 10 but so far have not found a fix or a post advising what further can be done to sync with latest library. Like yourself we have soooo many playlists, purchased music, podcasts, games etc that just cannot be sync'd. Sorry I'm of no use but I will keep an eye on your thread too in the hope that someone can stop me from pulling ALL oif my hair out

I can't set up a new itunes account - says I already have one

When I try to establish a new account with my email address, it says I already have one. When I say I forgot my password and request an email, the email is not received. When I answer the security question (my birthday), it says it fails.
How can I reset the account/email address so I can use my email address to establish a new account?
Thanks.

If you mean iTunes libraries or computer user accounts, just create one. To make a new iTunes library on Windows, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose Create Library.
If you mean iTunes Store accounts, click here and request assistance.

Can't download and install new itunes "upgrade"

I am trying in vain to upgrade my itunes to the latest version (something I need to purchase can not be purchased without the upgraded itunes version). Every time I attempt to download the new version of itunes, it says it has downloaded, but it is actually nowhere to be found on my computer. Nowhere. I have searched the entire machine, tried changing the default settings to make it drop into a specific folder. I tried restarting, using Firefox instead of Safari, and a host of other things and nothing changes.
This is insanity. How hard should it be to download a free upgrade of itunes software?

Why are you installing through the Adobe Application Manager? Did you purchase Photoshop or subscribe? If you purchased Photoshop then please see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006208?tstart=0&promoid=KBHJQ for information on how to download and install your purchased software.

Can i download apps from two iTunes accounts?

Just got a new iPad from the school district. The district technician loaded it w/ apps, however, our school librarian has some different apps that she syncs locally for the iPads we use in our classrooms. I'd like to have some of our school apps, but not wipe out those that have already been loaded. Is there a way to do this?

Yes very Easy.
Go to App store select Featured or Top of charts. scroll to bottom of page Logout of current Applestore ID and then log in using an existing user Name. Passwords required for all of this. Then go into Updates or more and select purchased. there will be Two colums here on the device. ON DEVICE and not of this device, Select not on device,once there select App and download. Then go back to Featured and log out and relogin under main account

My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address. I had to quit using this email address as it got hacked. I created a new gmail account. How can I get my iTunes downloads into the new gmail account?

My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address. I had to quit using this address as it got hacked. How do I get my iTunes downloads into my new iTunes account that was created with a new gmail address? In my old iTunes account (with the old gmail address, I can't 'update' my email address or even 'add an alternate address' as I had already created this gmail account and inputting the new address into iTunes gives me the 'pop-up' that 'this account is already in use.' Advice please!

Good luck. It took me weeks to fix this when I had to do it. Your old ID branches out in lots of places. You may have to delete app and get them again, at least that is what Apple told me. Plus, all of your settings on your iPad that required any ID, will have to be changed. My old ID kept showing up in different places for weeks. Changing it on Apple.com is just the beginning.

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.

Why not use your previous iTunes account (Apple ID)? Explain a little more, please.

If I installed itunes and music on a PC that died....can I download/import the music from my IPOD to a new itunes account?

If I installed Itunes and music on a PC that died --- can I download/import the music on my IPOD to a new ITunes account?

Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

I have mistakenly opened up a new iTunes account. Can I transfer purchases from one account to the other?

I have recently bought a new iPad mini and tried to set it up and share with my old iTunes account.
I thought I was changing email addresses for contact info, but was actually setting up a new iTunes account and paid for the £21 a year sharing service.
I have a few (not many) tunes purchased on my old iTunes account.
Is there a way of merging/closing my old account and transferring purchases across to the new iTunes account?
I could swap between the two, but doing that on the phone/ipad will mean I cannot swap back for 90 days!!!!!
Thanks

Did you ever get around to transfer purchases from your old iPhone to iTunes in your computer. If you did, your ringtone will be there and all you need to do is sync it back to your new iPhone.
Ringtones can only be downloaded once from the iTunes Store that is why the user guides recommend that you transfer purchases from the iPhone to the computer.
If you never synced your old iPhone to iTunes, then you need to do that now so that you can get your ringtone on your new iPhone.

Your i-device was not designed to be a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. If the computer has nothing on it, the device is set to match the computer's content -- nothing.The exception is purchased content.

For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

If I make a new iTunes account, can I transfer my music and apps to it?

Okay so about 2 years ago, I went to my friend's house so that she could put music on my iPod and ever since then I've had an iTunes account through them (using their apple id to have a playlist, get apps, etc.) but recently I had tried to get a new app and when I entered the password for their account, it said that it was an incorrect password. I tried the password multiple times to see if I maybe typed it wrong but still there was no luck so my guess is that they changed the password forgetting that I was using the account, too.
So basically I just made this iTunes account to ask this question and I'm onderin if I reconnect my iPod with this account will I be able to transfer my music? (If this helps, I have the iPod touch 4th generation)

I'm not using their money like I don't have any of their songs or apps. Everything that I have I downloaded it myself. The apps are no problem if they can't be transferred because they're all free ones I just want to know if there's a way to sync the songs on my iPod that I physically downloaded myself to my new iTunes account.

HT1727 Can I sync old iTunes account with a new iTunes account?

I have a previous iTunes account with purchased music but the email address is no longer active. Is it possible to move that music to my new iTunes account?

No, you can't move content between accounts nor merge accounts - all content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it. You should be able to update the email address on the account (you can't use an address that is in use on another account), either via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com
