Create ringtone from song from old iTunes account?

I transferred/merged my two iTunes accounts into one, and have had no problems all year. Now I want to create a ringtone but when I go to "Buy" it, iTunes tells me I cannot do it with a song I purchased under a different iTunes account (my former email address). Help! I bought the song years ago on iTunes, but now that I have a different account name, I cannot create a ringtone with that song?

I tried that first, but I cannot make a purchase while logged in under my old ID & password, I can only view/access my songs and look around in the store...

How do I delete ringtones on my iPhone 5 that I created from songs in my iTunes music library?

I created several ringtones for my iPhone 5 from songs in my iTunes music library but they are only 1 second long. I need to delete them and recreated them so they are 30 seconds long. How do I remove them from my iPhone and iTunes?

No -- an iTunes sync has no effect on photos in the Camera Roll; each time you sync using iTunes it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current iTunes setting/selections.

De-authorise all, then authorise the one you still have.

Setting up Brand New iPad 2 - iTunes Sharing and Getting Files from old iTunes Account

Greetings. I recently purchased an iPad 2 (convert after 20 years of PC use) and have been waiting to set it up until I knew the proper way to proceed. I have multiple questions and am hoping those of you with more Apple experience can help out a convert .
I would like to set it up with a new iTunes account so when my wife gets her iPad 2 next year we can share apps and movies we buy on iTunes. Do you always have to sync your iPad to your PC to get your latest purchases or can you do that via the wireless connection directly on the iPad after the initial set-up?
That said, if one of us buys an app/movie, will we both have to carry it on our iPads or will they store remotely on iTunes or on our PCs? I'm just concerned about maxing out the storage space on the iPad. Do the purchases need to occur on your PC vs. the iPad itself for both to have the app/movie access?
I've also read about iCloud issues and syncing all calendar/contact/etc. accounts if two iPads are set-up with the same Apple ID. What's the best way to initially configure the iPads so that you avoid this headache in the future?
Once I get all this settled and get a new iTunes shared account working, is there any way to get the movies I have in both of our old iTunes accounts into the new shared iTunes account? Can I simply drop them on a jump drive from one PC and place them into an appropriate folder on the new PC that the iPad sync's to if it does in fact need to sync?
Again, appreciate all the help and sorry for all of the confusion and multiple thoughts. I would just like to set this thing up once and for all the right way.
Thanks again

1, you can (re-)download a lot of purchases directly on the iPad without having to connect to your computer - apps and ibooks can be re-downloaded (as long as they remain available), music can be re-downloaded in some countries; tv shows can currently only be re-downloaded in the US. Re-downloading
2, films are a one-time only download, so you can either download it on your computer's iTunes and sync it to your device(s), or if you download it directly on the iPad you will need to then copy it to your computer's iTunes (connect the iPad and do File > Transfer Purchases) so that you can make a backup and copy it to your other iPods, iPads etc.
3, I haven't had any problems with iCloud, but then I don't share my account so it's only my account and contacts on my iPad and iPhone.
4, you can authorise your old accounts on your computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer) and copy the films onto it : File > Add File To Library - you can't copy or transfer content to a different account (nor can you combine accounts), they will remain tied to the original account
The iPad's manual has some info about syncing and each of the built-in apps (the iBooks app is covered in the manual though it isn't pre-installed, but you can download it for free from the store) - the manual can be downloaded from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

How do I transfer music from an old iTunes account/library on an old PC to a new iTunes account/library on a new Macbook Air?

I have an old iTunes account on an old PC. I bought a new MacBook Air less than a year ago. When I was at the store, purchasing my new Mac, I couldn't remember my old iTunes account password. The sales rep encouraged me to open a new iTunes account, and assured me I would be able to merge the two accounts. I have put very little music on my new iTunes account, and I want to figure out how to transfer my old account onto my new computer. I am about to purchase the new iPhone, which I will use as my main music source since my old iPod just died. I want to make this transfer before I make my new purchase, as I will be getting a $50 iTunes credit, and I need to know which account to attach it to. (Also, I was given an iTunes credit on my new iTunes account when I purchased my MacBook Air, which I have not fully used yet.)

Thanks for your prompt response, Niel. I had already seen that link. So, my question is if I can't merge the accounts, then what will happen when I move my old library to my new computer? Will the new computer then have the two separate libraries or will the old library replace the new library?
Also, if both libraries can co-exist on my new computer, it sounds like I will have to choose which library I want to put on my new iPhone, correct? I won't be able to put music from both, is this right?

HT1918 how do I transfer purchases from an old itunes account to a new one?

I recently bought a new Macbook and just transfered my iTunes library from my old one by using an external hard drive. It turns out that a lot of my music was bought through an old itunes account and I can't remember the password for that account so as to authorize my new computer. I have since started a new account and want to know if there's a way I can move what I purchased through my old account into my current account. Help!

Sorry, but you cannot transfer purchases from one iTunes Store account to another. You'll need to continue to use that old account ID for authorizations and re-downloads. If you can't remember the password, you should be able to reset it through this web page:

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:

Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
After this, do an update from the App Store.
Thats all there is to it.
For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.
