Create a new ITunes Account on my laptop seperate from my parents? New Apple ID? Billing of iPhone still on parents provider?
Hi, I just turned 18 and I have my own iPhone 4s and a laptop. I would like to create my own ITunes account and my own Apple ID on my computer, while keeping the cellphone billing on my parents plan. Is this possible? And if so, how? I also wonder if there is an easy way to transfer the songs that I had purchased on our shared account to my new account without having to buy them all over again, can this be done? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
You can usehHome Sharing so the music will be accessable on their computers, Their computer will have to be authorized for the iTunes account. For more informations see:

How to get ipod songs on new itunes account my old laptop died
My laptop died and I dont have an up to date backup of iTunes. How do I get all my songs from my ipod on the new iTunes. When I first installed on my new laptop all the songs appeared, today they are gone, except for the 4 recent songs I purchased. Any help would be appreciated.

It is a help page so why insult others trying to help you?
Yes, I had a backup, but there was a severe error, and that too corrupted my iTunes...
Perhaps you could have mentioned that in your first post...
Please if you have nothing to do, go elsewhere and be useless...

Problem verifying mail address after creating new iTunes account
I was trying to create new iTunes account in UK store without credit card verification following Apple's guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534. After creation of new account, I tried to login with new credentials and got message that my email address is not verified. When I clicked OK to verify address, I got following message:
Your request could not be completed. Make sure your computer's date is set correct and that accepts cookies from the iTunes Music store.
Yes, time is correct and no problems with cookies. There is More Info that sends to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1459 which is completely unrelated to me. That page explains Windows problems, do have OSX, latest update.
Any idea what might be the problem ? TIADon't create a new account. Update your previous account with any new/changed info and contiune to use it.

How to transfer single device from one iTunes account to new iTunes account on another computer?
I have been successfully using a single iTunes account to sync & back-up two different iPhones.
One of those iPhones belongs to a now ex-boyfriend (no longer living with me), and naturally he would like to transfer the back-up data for his device to a new iTunes account (Apple ID) on a different computer. While ongoing be able to sync, backup and update software for his iPhone on his computer.
Is this possible?
I understand that recovery of the current media on his phone (i.e. apps, music, photos, etc.) that are all stored on my computer through my iTunes account will likely not be possible, but he doesn't want to erase all the important data/content (i.e. contacts, calendar, etc.) on his iPhone without being assured that a previous back-up can be successfully restored using his new iTunes account/library.
I'm aware of the back-up location & files for his device and can provide those to him on an external USB drive, but can someone please advise exactly how the restoration/procedure should work? Or is there an alternative?That's kind of a strange way to things, even if it's what Apple told you to do.
Do this.
- Access your *local* library
- Go to iTunes->Preferences->Advanced
- Select "Copy Files...." and "Keep iTunes Media File Oroganized"
- Locate the files you want on the external disk
- Drag them into the "Library" area of your sidebar
This will put the files in your local library and copy them to your MB.
They will still be on your external hard drive. You will have to separately delete them from that library if you want to. -

iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
newer copy
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music. -
When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?
Yes. I would clarify your statement about the "shared" iTunes Library though. If you want each iOS device to have its own music library, you should create separate user accounts for them. Read:

How do I create a new Itunes account for my external HD?
Hi. I am a graduate student with a huge amount of music files for academia. I store the academia music files on my external HD, since it will just take up too much space on my computer. I wanted to create a separate Itunes account just for my external HD music files. How do I go about doing this? I tried to set it up and created a new account, but it automatically synced to my computer Itunes and I ended up deleting all of my personal music, video and reading articles on my personal itunes account.
As a graduate student you will quickly learn the importance of exact terminology. I presume your colleague told you to copy the "iTunes folder". You can't copy just iTunes (well, you can, but it isn't easy). Saying "iTunes" on its own refers to the application itself, not the library.
You do not need to make a new account. This again gets confusing unless you tell us exactly what you did. As I said before, an "iTunes account" is something you log into to make a purchase from the iTunes Store. A "computer account" is a whole new user area on your computer and isn't made on a different hard drive. An "iTunes library" is a collection of files and folders that generate the window you see when you start the iTunes application.
I do not know how you are ending up with two icons on the dock. While it is possible to do that it isn't at all normal unless you somehow are running two copies of iTunes at the same time. That is exceedingly difficult to do and people have unsuccessfully tried and would like to know how you did it.
You can have two independent libraries and there won't be any crosssover from one to the other. I have four on my computer. Use the procedure I outlined earlier to create a second library and to switch between them.
I was a graduate student many years ago and one of the first things I learned to do so I didn't lose years of research was to make multiple backup copies of anything I generated by computer, especially before performing any major changes to the computer such as installing new software or substantial file rearrangement. I kept several copies in different buildings on campus and a copy at home in another part of town just in case the campus was wiped out by a disaster. -

Should I create a new iTunes account for a podcast?
We are still in the process of getting our first podcast edited and ready to go, along with the website, podcast hosting, etc... But I was curious about when we are ready to submit the podcast to iTunes.... Should I ceate a new iTunes account, dedicated to the podcast, or use my own personal iTunes account to submit. I'm a little hesitant about using my own, since I'm not sure how that affects anything in how the podcast is displayed, or notifications from iTunes. I would rather have communications go through the E-Mail for the domain I have set up for the website/podcast, but it's not the end of the world.
If it's used strictly for authentication, then it most likely won't be an issue. I just wanted to verify how it is used, and best practices, before submitting our first episode.
Thanks,
MikeIt is just for authentication - no need to create a new account for your podcast.
Just submit with the one you already have.
Any changes to your show in iTunes are managed via your RSS feed - not from your iTunes account.
Regards,

My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it. I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to iTunes. It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one!
How can I get my new iTunes account to allow me to Sync my iTouch? The only option it gives me is to "transfer purchases" from my iTouch to iTunes, but that is only about 25% of my iTunes library-most of it is CDs I have uploaded. How can I Sync without losing all my music from my iTouch???
Also, I have lectures and photos, etc. on my iTouch that I don't want to lose.
I've tried a few of the iPod copy programs-the free ones and the ones you have to pay for, but I can't find one that will work for ALL my content on an iTouch.
Right now, I can't get anything from my iTouch to iTunes, and I can't update my iTouch with my new iTunes purchases, so I'm stuck! Help!Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer. I can't figure out why it won't let me do that.
The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos. I can't see videos, music, or anything else. What's going on?
