CHANGING ITUNES AUTHORIZATION DETAILS

Hi
Forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere - I have looked but cant seem to find a solution.
I have a load of music that was purchased on our itunes business account by mistake.
I had logged in to the account to purchase some music for business and forgotten to change back to my personal account.
I then merrily went ahead buying music for personal use for a few months before realising it was all on the wrong account.
Now here's the issue -
I have now changed my personal Mac.
I can't play the music that was authorized on the other account.
I don't want to authorize my home machine as one of the 5 computers allowed on the business account.
I am very happy to remove access to these tracks from the business account so they only play on my home computer.
But I cant find any way to switch the track authorization to another account.
Please understand - this is NOT about authorizing my home machine on the business account. This is about allowing these tracks to play from my personal account.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Many thanks
Casey

Hi Diane
Thanks for the reply.
Its all crazy to me - never had this problem with CD's
Problem I have now is - thousands of tracks - no idea which ones work.
So I have to go through manually and find out which ones work.....
What a pain
Glad apple relaxed the whole authorization issue - its a nightmare.
Thanks

Changing itunes authorizations for iphone

My daughter has iTunes on her PC. I also have it on my Mac. For years now, she's been accumulating songs but they were bought on my account and her iTunes uses one of my account's computer authorizations. But now that she's no longer a child, she's getting an iPhone. I assume she's going to need her own account to be able to sync the phone. But how will she be able to set it up to use her itunes if her itunes library of songs shares my account? I already have my own iphone that syncs to my Mac. So giving her the account isn't an option. Is there any way to convert her songs purchased before the higher rate unprotected versions were available so they will continue to play for her?
Thanks

Sorry, I think my question may be better suited for the iphone forum.

When you try to change your county, you might see one of these messages:
You have an active iTunes Match subscription; you must cancel it before you can change stores.
You have at least one incomplete pass. Passes must be complete before you can change stores.
You have rentals that have not expired; they must expire before you can change stores.
You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores.
You have one or more pending store credit refunds. You must wait a few hours for these to complete before you can change stores.
You are part of a family. You must leave the family before you change stores.

The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.

*When i try to authorize the 'other email address' I get this : "your apple id or password was incorrect". I tried to recover the password and i get: "This apple id doesn't exist."*

Hello Zach,
I understand that you have been unable to authorize the purchases on
your iTunes account "[email protected]" due to three previous
account names not authorizing for you. I am sorry to hear about this
Zach. I can certainly appreciate how eager you must be to have this
resolved. My name is Liz, and I will be more than happy to help you
with this today!
If your computer is not currently authorized to play your previous
account name's purchases, when you double-click an item you
purchased before you renamed the account, the authorization dialog
may show the old account name. If this happens, you will need to
remove the old account name from the account name field, type the
new account name, and click Authorize. This authorizes your computer
to play the account's purchases.
If you are unsure about which account was used to purchase a
particular item, follow these steps:
1) Control-click (or right-click) the item in your iTunes Library.
2) Choose Get Info from the menu that appears.
3) Click the Summary tab. The account name will be listed on the
right.
If you need further assistance in locating the current account name,
please reply with the account name listed in your items' Summary
tab. In addition, please include the order number for those items if
possible.
You can locate order numbers by following these instructions on
reviewing your purchase history:

I also found, finally, that selecting "manually manage" for the device on the summary page in iTunes for the helped.

HT1918 i'm trying to change my card details and it keeps saying it has been declined anything i can do?

im trying to change my card details as i have a replacement card but it keeps saying declined once i have put all the information in on my iphone as my laptop is broken and that is the only way i can get into my itunes account. any help would be good as i want to set up netflix for my apple tv

Did u fix it?? I'm having the same problem

We have an Apple id that has a bunch of purchased music on it, but our children have changed the account details and the password, and the secret questions and now we can't remember any of that information, even our birthdays are not correct. HELP???

we have an apple ID that was set up in my wife's name. The kids have changed the account details and no-one can remember the password. They have also changed the account data and none of our birthdays are recognised by apple. We have no way of re-setting the account. The secondary email address we used when setting up the account is no longer accessible so even this option doesnt work..
What can we do as we have a large amount of purchased music on this account???

1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID. You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate. Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME and visa versa.
4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.

How do I create a new account/change my card details to a new one?

Fail to change my payment details

I have failed to change my payment details with another credit card.
I have used this card before a lot of times at iTunes store. After I have typed in my credit card details, they always say invalid secure code and I won't be able to change it.
I have called the credit card company and there is no any problem at all to my credit card.
Is there anything to solve the problem.
Also, I am in UK now, can I buy Hong Kong store iTunes card gift card online without using iTunes ? I am currently still in Hong Kong itune store.

You have to be in a country to use its store, if you are here in the UK then you can only use the UK store, and you will have to have a UK billing address on your account - and if using a credit card then you can only use a card issued by a UK bank, and which will need to be registered to the same name and address as on your iTunes account.

Itunes payment details wrong and cant fix it!

I recently closed an old bank account but forgot to change itunes beforehand. When I logged on to music store to download it told me my card was rejected and to enter new payment details - I keep trying but I cant seem to. Th payment details page seems frozen and wont even move from the 'Visa' to the 'Mastercard' option despite much clicking! Is this my computer or the website??

Contact the music store explaining in detail what is going on using the Credit Card support page and form.

Hello, small question, how to change the bank details my account is on? keep on charging the old card nr of a friend ;-(

Go to iTunes, click on your Apple ID (right top iTunes' corner), enter your paswword if requested and edit the details you want

How can I change my profile details

What I need is to change the email ID as I use another now and to change the username if possible.
Additionally, I would like to know how I can change my [email protected] address. I would prefer to use another prefix instead of what I have now in xxxx field.
Edit: I searched again and I found that for changing the username, I have to crate new Apple ID. However, I don't know if I can connect this Apple ID with my purchases and everything as it was before.

Using your AppleID, log in to your account in either the Mac App Store or or the iTunes Store, click on Account and change your payment details.

I wish to change my payment details but I don't know how to
