Computer crashed. Old itunes account lost. How do I...

The old account was lost so I had to reinstall itunes and start a new account.
To make a complicated question simple, is it possible to sync up my old ipod with a new account. I have all of my music, pictures, etc on this old ipod but nothing to sync it to.
Thanks for any help provided.

Okay, I actually found my old account. It was my wife's account and she was putting the username incorrectly.
Still a problem, my ipod still won't sync up with the account. I'm not sure why, it's the same old ipod with the same old account.
I think my backup was lost when my computer crashed. So the only music I have on the itunes account is what I bought directly from them.
Any ideas on why this won't sync up?

My wife and I share a computer for our itunes accounts. How can we copy our music libraries to each others accounts without erasing the original library? We want to merge our songs.

If the music is on the same computer, import the songs to your iTunes library by dragging them into iTunes or choosing File > Add to Library (Mac) or File > Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library (Windows). If the music is on different computers you can set up Home Sharing to copy the music from one library to the other (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620).

If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.

New computer/want old itunes account

How can I download my itunes account that has all my music, etc onto a new computer? I tried to download it and it it downloaded without any music, just a blank account.

You can't use 2 accounts if you want them on the one device.
What you can do is use home sharing on the computer and the iPad.

New user with ipod on old itunes account. How?

I inherited a macbook with a new job. How do I restart itunes with my ipod touch without losing everything on my ipod when I sync?
If this were a PC I could uninstall and reinstall itunes to get a fresh start that honors my current ipod, but I don't see how to accomplish this with a mac..

Please explain further.
You don't need an AppleID to access an iTunes library. An iTunes library is stored on your computer.
Default location is /Music/iTunes/ folder.

I need to delete my Apple ID on my iPhone 4. I forgot my psw for my account. When I answer the security question, the system responds incorrect answer. I created a new Apple iTunes account but I still unable to delete the old iTunes account.

My ipod is locked to where it has to be plugged into itunes to fix it, but our computer crashed, so itunes is no longer available, and it won't work. What should i do?

this is not my ipod. it is my friend's. her computer crashed and itunes was destroyed. how can i fix it?

You need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection. First redownload all apps on the new computer. See:
How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
Then connect the iPod to the computer and try to restore the iPod via iTunes. You will be asked to enter the passcode. If you have the passcode you may be able to make a backup. If so then backuop it by right clicking on the iPod in iTunes and select backup. Then restore from backup. If the passcode is unknown they you will have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore it . You will have to restore to factory defaults since the computer does not have a backup.

Problems Syncing from an old Itunes Account

When I first bought my IPOD Nano (4th Gen) I must have sync'd it with an old Itunes Account. How can I move the songs on my IPOD to my New Account if I don't know the old account name or password?

You can't. Purchases made with the older Apple ID are tied to that particular account forever. You'll need to reset the password to that account. If you don't know either the password or username, you'll want to contact Apple Support for assistance.

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.

You have a backup of your computer, or at the very least of your iTunes media, correct?
Simply copy your backup of your iTunes media into the iTunes library on your new computer.
Connecting and syncing your device to the new computer without first recovering your iTunes media is a really, really, really bad idea. iDevices are designed to ONLY sync with one computer. When you plug your device into a new computer, it will wipe all media on the device when it syncs. The only media you may be able to salvage and transfer to the new computer would be anything bought directly on the device.
If you do not have a backup of your iTunes media, then you will want to either look at a way (using software from a third party company) to either extract the media from you iDevice or your old computer (assuming the hard drive is not toast).

HT203167 I purchased a new computor, because my old computor crashed and burned. when I resumed iTunes I used a new username and password. How do I retrieve my music libraries from my old iTunes account

Old computor crashed and burned. purchase new lenovo lap top with windows 7. got new itunes account. with new usename and password. how do I retrieve my old music libraries from my old itunes account.

Why did you start a new itunes account? This will just cause problems.
Your library will only be where you put it.
It has alwasys been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good at all, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

how do i put old itunes account on to new computer

An itunes account is just a user name and password. You can sign into your account from any comuter that has itunes.
Are you talking about your library ( music/apps/etc)
If so then type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
