Can't activate itunes account

Hello everyone,
Hopefully someone might be able to help. I am currently trying to active my new itunes account and not getting any success at all. every time I try to activate by clicking on the supplied link in my email. Itunes opens up and says that request could not be completed. unknown error occured (11111). Tried on two windows based computer 7.6 and 7.7 and my macbook. all are getting the same error. I can access the store just fine with no problems but only when I active do i get this error. Does anyone know a way to get this working or maybe a different way to get the account activate. Got a iPhone now that is basically useless untill i can get the account activated? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone has been experiencing problems acssesing iTunes store,and you have Norton installed check you firewall configuration, i had the same problem for some reason Norton blocked itunes, just tick to permit all,hope this helps...

.... no way to use itune match anyhow with Ipad and account XXX linked with account XXX. WHYYYY ??? no clue.

How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

You can change the account shortname to whatever you wish to use.
As you can see from my example above. Once you click on the Create User button a new account will be created.
She will need to get her own Apple ID setup so when she starts with iTunes she can open her own iTunes account unless you both want to share the use of the same Apple ID. This can create a bit of confusion if you have your own iPads or iPhones or iPods. As you have discovered it's pretty much one iDevice with one Apple ID.
As for the iTunes library that becomes a more complicated issue.

I already have an iTunes account but need to open a new one as I have many apple products but am limited to how many I can use my iTunes account on. How do I open a new one please. Thanks

Hi I already have an itunes account registered to my address and email address.
The problem is, I have many apple products but i'm limited to how many products I can use one itunes account for.
How do I open a new itunes account for the same address please.
Thanks for your help.
Sam

Well, you can probably do it, but then you also have to buy the products again to use them from the other account since they cannot be transferred or shared between accounts. So if you have 7 computers and want the same movie authorized on all of them, you'll have to buy the movie twice and then authorize some devices on one account and others on the other.
Do you really have >5 devices, or is it just that you have a lot of devices authorized that no longer exist but are tying up authorization slots? If that's the case, you can deauthorize things.

I have no idea how to do multiple accounts but you may need to create a new e-mail address (plenty of free ones out there).

I just bought a new Nano. How do I transfer the songs from my Shuffle to the Nano and then give the Shuffle to my husband so he can open an itunes account of his own?

I just bought a new Nano. How do I tranfer the songs from my Shuffle to my husband so he can open an itunes account of his own?

DaisyDoodle,
The songs on your Shuffle should still be in your iTunes library. That means you should just be able to connect your Nano to the same iTunes library and sync it just as you would with your Shuffle. There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, or iPhones you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or account.
As for preparing the Shuffle for your husband, just restore it via iTunes and then let him sync it to his own iTunes library or if its the same iTunes library, let him configure it to sync only his content.
Here are instructions on how to restore the Shuffle if need be.

Can two separate iTunes accounts home share music?

Can two separate iTunes accounts home share music? I load music on my mothers iPod nano and my brother would like to load music onto her iPod also. Would there be a problem and what would be the process?

Yes you can set up homesharing on more than one library to be shared with other devices, just use the same homesharing ID and password on all of them.

My computer crashed. is there a way that i can put my itunes account and library on my husband's computer even though he has an itunes account?

My computer crashed and instead of buying a new computer, is there a way i can put my itunes account and library on my husband's computer. He also has an itunes account and library.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

How can I activate my account?

I had 2 accounts by mistake (I was paying twice for the creative cloud membership), then, I had support from Adobe and they canceled 1 of the accounts.
Now I'm facing this problem, the programs (Photoshop, InDesign and illustrator) will expire in a few days.
How can I activate my account and use these programs normally?

Hi,
In addition to Ani's suggestion, you may refer to the help document below:

My laptop has crashed and I can't sync my iPad air. I have tried to back up off I cloud but it hasn't transferred all of my photos or music. Is there anyway I can access my iTunes account any other way?

My laptop has crashed and I can't sync my iPad air. I have tried to back up off I cloud but it hasn't transferred all of my photos or music. Is there anyway I can access my iTunes account any other way?

Your iTunes account won't include your non-iTunes purchased e.g. music copied from CDs etc, nor photos that were synced from a computer.
To get non-iTunes music you will have to go via a computer. If you don't have that music on, for example, an external drive, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
For photos that were originally synced from a computer then there are apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy them between devices and/or to a computer (though photos are 'optimised' as part of the syncing process, so if you do copy them back to a computer then they might not be the same as they were on your laptop).
There is also this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

Can 2 separate itunes accounts be on 1 mac?

Can 2 separate itunes accounts be on 1 MacBook Pro?

I'm told yes to 2 accoounts but when I try to log in with another device plugged in my MacBookPro won't recognize the different login and pw. I don't see any link to authorize or de-authorize another device? Help!

I have sent you a question and all I get back is that you can't activate my account. I have clicked on the link you provided and entered the correct address. What else can I do to get help. How about a phone number?

''locking - please continue in your original support thread - here - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/835625''
I sent you a question yesterday and you sent me an email saying you couldn't activate my account because I either didn't click on the right link or enter the correct address. I have done both of these correctly but nothing changes. What can I do to get my original question answered - talk to someone?

When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer? Your iTunes library does not have an email address. An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases. Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID. In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password). That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost.
NOTE: If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID.
For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

With the limit of 5 devices per itunes account, I am wondering if I can have 2 itune accounts on the same computer? We have many idevices and I am not sure how to manage them all.

With the limit of 5 devices per itunes account, I am wondering if I can have more than 1 itunes account on my computer?

The limit of five applies only to computers, not to iOS devices, if that's what you're concerned with. But yes, you can have content from up to five different iTunes Store accounts on any given computer or iOS device.

How do I retrieve my music library after a complete computer crash. I have a backup on a flash drive and I can access my Itunes account but my play lists and music are gone.

How do you retrieve downloaded music and playlists after a complete computer crash. I can log into my Itunes account and make purchases but my music library is gone. I have an external backup on a flash drive but for some reason the music does not show up there either. It's like I have a brand new account and have to start all over. Itunes must have an archive I can access to get my music back, right?
Maya

Playlists should be part of your backup copy.
You can redownload some purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Why do I have to enter my password 3 times before I can access my iTunes account using a Windows 8.1 pc?

For the past 6 months or so, I can't log onto my iTunes account without entering my password at least three times. This is only when I'm using my Windows pc (8.1). Logging in on my iPhone, ipad, ipod are fine. Argh!

Anyone?
