Hi had old ipod with old large library on have lost my old itunes account so opened a new one but i cannot get my library onto my new comp help!! pl

The music you purchased with the old iTunes account is tied to that account. You need to obtain the ID and password for that account. The following provides instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID
Once you get the accountinoformation you can transfer the the iTunes purchased stuff to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
If you are the USA and have the latest iTunes you shuld be able to redownload them with these instructions. Again, you need the ID information.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

MY hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Now when I try to sync my iPod with iTunes it says that I have to replace the old library (that is lost forever) with the new library to sync. I do not want to lose all the songs on my iPod! What can I do?

Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I recently bought a MacBook Air. I migrated the info from my old MacBook to the new Air. None of my contacts migrated. I still have them on my old Macbook, Ipad and iPhone. How do I get them to the new Air?

You can copy the iWeb application from the desktop machine to your new MBA. But if it's iWeb 2 it won't work with Mavericks or Mt. Lion. Also copy the Domain.sites file from the desktop to your MBA as that's the file with your webstite files in it.

Retake the photos. They are no longer on your device.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can't doing anything abouty this, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

Transfer your purchases from old iPhone to computer iTunes, then select tones in iTunes with your new iPhone connected, do a sync.

Use your backup copy of your computer.

Be careful, when you connect the iPhone to your mac, unless you have saved the photos. Synced photos may easily be accidentally deleted by syncing again. And do not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta), that will erase synced photos as well. Synced Photos are not included in the device backups.
Set your iTunes Preferences to "Devices > Prevent iPos, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically". Otherwise iTunes may launch and sync your iPhone with an empty iPhoto library the moment you connect it.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync the synced photos back. Apple recommends to mail them back, but that would be a lot of clicking (iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support). You could also share them to a Shared Album, but a third party app like TD recommended, will be better.

I imported over 50 cds to my itunes account on my laptop. I subsequently got a new laptop with Windows 8. None of my imports are there. How do I get them on my new laptop?

You don't mention anything about the music files on your computer that were used to copy into iTunes. If you have moved those files to a different location on you PC you will get that error message from iTunes. This is because iTunes will look for the music files in the original location that they came from on your PC when they were copied. If this is the case you have to tell iTunes to look in the new location for the music files or move the music files back to the original location.

I have an iMac OS 10.9.5 - Every time I turn on my system I get the message that it can not access icloud and to fix it using iCloud preferences. I do not want to access or use iCloud, how do I get the message to discontinue?

Hello mrmacjohn,
Verifying that any iCloud account that may be signed in is signed out should resolve this error.
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
