Have an old computer with windows xp that I replaced with a windows 7. Can't recover my Itunes account and library. Please help!
I have a full library in itunes. I can still purchase form the Ipod but since buying a new computer, I can't recover the library or account on the new computer. Old computer ran windows xp now running windows 7
Why can't you recover the account? The account is not tied to the computer... simply log in.
The media must be moved from one computer to another, simply signing into iTunes does not cause it to magically appear.

if I have an old mac with OS X, how can I update if Apple doesn't recognise that I need an update?!!
You need to buy an upgrade if one is compatible with your Mac model.
PowerPC G3 Macs can only go to 10.4.11.
PowerPC G4 and G5 Macs can only go to 10.5.8.
Macs with a Core Solo or Core Duo CPU can only go to 10.6.8.
Core 2 Duo and better Macs can go to 10.7.5 or 10.8.3 depending on their model. Upgrading to either requires going through 10.6.

Can I open bkf with my Mac Pro? I have my old files with bkf format how can I open it?
That is a Windows Backup file. I seriously doubt that there will be any way to read that on a Mac. Do you have a Windows machine that you can use to open those files and save the contents in a more friendly format?

my old laptop is not working. How do I get my itunes account and library on my new computer with out wiping out my ibrary?
Hi 1Donald,
To answer your question, ''"How can my new desktop have a KEY when it is not even part of the sync yet?"''
You need to get the key from the new device and enter it into the old device. So on the old device select "Pair a device" and the place to enter the key will show up.
I hope this helps. -

My computer crashed and instead of buying a new computer, is there a way i can put my itunes account and library on my husband's computer. He also has an itunes account and library.
Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

My iTunes account is under my @yahoo email address and I became accustomed to my @Me email and now like the idea of the @iCloud email address that was made. My questions are....can I change my iTunes account to my @iCloud name without instead of my @yahoo name without losing my years snd years of purchases ? Can I also create an @Mac address ? ....or is my @yahoo and my @iCloud already recognized as the same by apple and my purchases would already be fine as well as restoring my devices ?
Your purchases are permanently tied to the Apple ID (account) used to purchase them. They can't be moved to another account and you can merge accounts. You can start making new purchases with your iCloud ID if you want, but you will end up with two sets of purchases under two different IDs, adding further complication to your life.
Also, your @icloud email address is an alias of your existing @me address; emails sent to either address will be routed to the same inbox. You can decide which one you want to use as your default (as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5441) but you can't separate them. -

I can not sync my old computer itunes library to my ipod or to icloud. I have the latest version of itunes, yet the button where you click for itunes match is not there. Any thoughts or suggestions?
When you say you have the latest version, what is the specific version? I only ask because I hear people say that all the time and they have no clue what version they have or what the latest version is.
What happens when trying to sync the device with iTunes?
What specific device and what version of iOS?
iCloud alone is not syncing of music... what exactly are you trying to accomplish with iCloud? Have you signed up for iTunes Match? If not... there is no syncing of media via iCloud. -

Can I sign in to my iTunes account and library on a computer that is not mine?
I want to know if I can sign in to my iTunes on a different computer than I usually use. I want to be able to access my library on someone else's computer, but I don't know if that is possible. I definitely don't want my library to get mixed with someone else's either. And if it is possible, can two people sync to the same computer without getting their libraries mixed just by signing in to their seperate accounts?
Thanks for any help!You can access your iTunes Store account from any computer with iTunes installed, but you cannot access the iTunes library - the tracks and other content you've already downloaded - from another computer unless both computers are on the same local network in which case you can use Home Sharing. Home Sharing will not normally work from outside of your home, though. There are third-party utilities for Mac that can allow this, but whether any exist for Windows I don't know.

I lost power to my MacBook Pro before I had saved anything that I was working on...usually I plug my computer it and power it back on and the documents pop right back up when the computer turns on. That did not happen this time. How can I recover my documents?
If you never saved, auto save does not kick in.

any help you guys can give would be great! I have a limited amount of time to do this.
Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder on your PC to /Music/ on your Mac.
Then delete what you don't want.
You will need to authorize yrou computer for the iTunes account yoru mother has.
You should create & use your own iTunes account for any more purchases.
You don't need to export anything and definitely don't need to (and shouldn't) convert anything.
