How can I merge purchased songs from different ID's?

I got a new computer & moved my library there. It turns out that 62 songs will not sync nor will they even play when I click on them. It turns out they were purchased using an old apple ID that I haven't even used in 6 years.
The worst part is that one song is no longer available on iTunes so I can't even buy it again but it still works on my old computer. Unfortunately I have made new purchases that are not on that computer.
I spent so much time on the phone with support who put in a ticket to ITunes engineers over a month ago & still no resolution. How can I merge these 2 accounts & get my songs on our new computer & new iPhones?
Totally frustrated

    How can I load purchased songs from my iPad to my daughters iPod?

    You can either sync them to her iPod using iTunes, or sign into your Apple ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store on her iPod and download them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.  If she is already signed into a different ID, tap it, sign out, then sign into your ID.  (Note: If she has already enabled automatic downloads or downloaded previous purchases on her iPod using a different ID, she will have to wait 90 days before she can switch IDs to yours.)

  • HT1386 How can I remove purchased songs from my iPhone?

    There are purcahsed songs on my iphone. However even after unsycning them from iTunes it does not remove them from my phone. I don't want to get ride of the songs out of iTunes but I want them off my phone.
    And another one. For one of my albums it shows the wrong album cover.

    Yes some did and I was able to hide those. However a few still remain.
    And anything on the incorrect album covers?

  • How can I transfer purchased itunes from my computer to my iPod without losing/erasing the current songs on my iPod?

    How can I transfer purchased iTunes from my computer to my iPod without losing all the songs I currently have on my iPod?  I've already burned the purchased songs onto DVDs, but they still aren't recognized as authorized songs that I can copy onto my iPod.  One other note:  The songs I purchased were done so with iTune versions much earlier than 10.0, does that matter?  I couldn't tell you what version though.   

    Not sure what you are saying.
    What is stopping you from adding the songs?
    Are you getting an error message?
    What does it say?

    Your i-device was not designed to be a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. If the computer has nothing on it, the device is set to match the computer's content -- nothing.The exception is purchased content.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Have you failed to do this?
    If so, not good, then you may be able to purchase third party software to extract the music from your iphone.  This is not supported by Apple.
