Deauthorising old itunes account i have no access to

My husband bought me an iPad 4 for Christmas and I have set it up using the iTunes account I have for my iPhone. Unfortunately there was a very old iTunes account attached to my laptop which I have no access to and iTunes seems to have latched onto it and whenever I plug my iPad into my laptop it starts to put old apps on that I do not want, despite my newer iTunes account being the one that is signed in. I would deauthorise it if I could however it is so old the email server no longer recognises it and I have no access to it at all which is making it a nightmare to delete. Even when I put my personal data in iTunes will not recognise my DOB. It's ruining my iPad experience so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

if you log into you account in iTunes you may be able to change your email address if that work work try to set your emails to forward to your new email address

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

I'm trying to retrieve or change my password for an OLD itunes account. I know longer have access to the email in question and Apple refuses to acknowledge my birthdate. What to do?

HT1373 I originally used iTunes and loaded my personal music to it when I got an iPod Shuffle long ago. I have now migrated from Windows environments to a MacBook Pro. My old iTunes account is associated with a dead email address at HP. How do I move it

I am trying to get an old iTunes account reactivated for my new MacBook Pro. Originally I had iTunes for my iPod Shuffle and connected to it with a Windows laptop. I have dumped Windows in favor of Mac OS and now have a MacBook Pro with iTunes installed. I want to get at the 100s of songs I had out on iTunes but my email address for the old account is no longer active (was a work account and I have since retired). How do I get a new email address (and ID) assigned into my old account so I can access it and get at my music?

Unfortunatly, you can't. I had the problem with an iPod classic and looked into it. You could make a new apple account and transfer it to that, but thats it and even that isn't garenteed to work.

How can I access my old iTunes account?

I had an iTunes account on my old windows computer. I now have an iPad and want to access my old iTunes account. How do I do this?

I'm trying to find out how to access my old i-tunes library if I'm unsure of what my log-in and password were from that time.
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've just changed my Apple ID so therefore would like to gain access to my music in ITunes .upon tryin it says that I must wait 90 days to access my old iTunes account

Can I access my old ITunes account or must I wait 90 days ??

Sure, you can buy new things. You just can't re-download past purchases for 90 days after changing the AppleID used with a computer, as the link provided by ChitlinsCC discusses. To avoid this problem make sure you always have backups of all purchases you make which is a good idea in any case in case a distributor pulls an item from the store whereby you won't be able to redownload it.

HT1918 I am looking at my credit card and entering it EXACTLY as it shows but iTunes keeps telling me it's invalid????? keeps asking for an valid security code I am entering the one on the card????? ALSO, I cannot gain access to my old iTunes account.

I keep getting an error message saying my credit card info is not correct when I am entereing it directly from the card, I have done it 4 times, rechecked and triple checked for accuracy..............WHAT'S UP?
I also cannot access my old iTunes account with all my purchases after my computer crashed. I have used the id and password I had recorded from the very beginning. (password all lower caps BTW) SO, $$ I cannot access plus the playlists I had on file. YIKES!!! HELP ME.

I need help; reply to [email protected]

I have two ipod nanos. And i have 2 itunes accounts and we are accessing both accounts from the same PC. One of my ipod works fine, it gets detected as a device and sync fine. The other one does not. Need help.

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is ituens purchases. The ipod is not a backup device.
Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

if you have 5 machines authorized, you can *deauthorize all*, then reauthorize those that you use/have access to. click here for more information.
note the *deauthorize all* option is only available once a year.

I have an old itunes account and the music won't play on my new account

I have an old itunes account that I downloaded on my computer about 100 songs. I since then have started a new account and now my old music will not play at all and it says that my old itunes account has been locked out by itunes. What gives? I have over $100 worth of music I cannot access on my own computer?!
PLEASE HELP!!!

I since then have started a new account
Why? Just update the info for your old account and continue to use that.
When you create new accounts, it's highly probable you will run into problems (as you can see).
it says that my old itunes account has been locked out by iTunes.
More likely it says that your iTunes account has been locked for security reasons and that you need to contact the iTunes store to unlock it.

I have lost my old itunes account as it had an gmail address which has been deleted by google, the rescue email address is also no longer valid

i am unable to locate my old itunes account. I save music from my own collection and purchased tracks from itunes. i believe the account was using an old gmail account which has been deleted by google as it was inactive for a period of time. the rescue email address is also not obsolete. Is there anyway of tracking down my old account either by creditcard number or home address? i have not been able to get music on any of my devices, ipad 2 or my iphone 5. really need some help as this has been like it for several months.. probably a couple of years if i thnk about it.

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.
