How do I access my original iTunes account on new MacBook?

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. I have my original iTunes account set up on my old laptop, which I am unable to even turn on because it needs to be repaired (which I really have no intention of doing now). How do I access my old iTunes account/downloads to be on my new Mac? There was a message that read something to the effect of "cannot have your iTunes account set up on more than one computer," I think. I'm not even able to sync my iPod to my new Mac without risking losing all of the content that is on my iPod. I have iTunes open on my Mac, am able to send downloads there, but I do not think I am signed in (they are all NEW downloads, nothing old from old laptop). PLEASE HELP!! Thanks in advance.

In other words, how can I access my iTunes library/content from iTunes on my other computer?

Hi – I’m resending you the instructions I got from Adobe-Sarah below again.
Nancy
Sarahktrapp at Adobe sent me instructions on how to access my original account on behance. Please read all of this because it did not work completely the way she told me.
Phase 1:
Sarah’s from Adobe Instructions:
Thanks for getting in touch. Your Behance account (be.net/yourname) is connected to the Adobe ID ( your original behance email address), so this is what you'll need to use to login.
Please click login, click the Adobe ID button, and enter ( your original behance email address) and your Adobe ID password.
If you'd like to link your Behance account with a different Adobe ID, after you're into your account, you can visit this page and choose "link to a different Adobe ID:" https://www.behance.net/portfolio/promote
Phase 2:
My results and what I reported back to Sarah at Adobe:
I followed your instructions, but it did not work for me. I clicked login, and then clicked the Adobe ID, I entered ( my original behance email address) and my Adobe ID password. When I clicked Sign In a message says “The Adobe ID and password do not match. Please try again.” I then tried logging in by clicking the Adobe ID, added the (my original behance email address) with my password I used on the original Behance account. The Adobe ID asked my birthdate and it seemed to work. Not sure how it worked, but thanks.
I hope this helps you.

Try the Store column from iTunes' menu. There should be a "sign in" or some similar entry there.

If you want to sync your iPhone with a new computer, take a look at this Apple doc -> Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
iTunes will let you sync some stuff from multiple computers, but it'll only let you sync music, videos or apps from one iTunes library.

How to transfer itunes account to new macbook and ipad

I have an itunes account which is linked with my iphone.. I have recently gotten a new macbook and ipad. Is it possible to transfer from my current account to these new devices? I do not have my old macbook which the itunes account originated from, only my iphone. Do I have to create a new account? Everytime I go to backup my iphone it says it will wipe out what is on it!!! I have hundreds of songs, videos,apps etc etc etc.
Thanks

1) authorize iTunes on your new Mac for your iTunes store account (the one you used to purchase from the iTunes store)
2) connect your iPhone and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it (as well as you iPad).

How do I open an additional iTunes account on my MacBook Pro in a foreign country?

I have a iTunes account in America, but now living in Germany and want to purchase items on the German site, can I open an additional account on the same computer? Can you have different accounts in different countries at the same time? I understand you need a foreign address and foreign credit card from that country, but can you have two accounts at the same time? Any additional information would be helpful...

Yes you can have tow accounts.

How do I set up 2 itunes account on my MacBook Air?

I'm looking at purchasing a second iPad for my husband and have the 2 iPads download from itunes from the same computer. Can anyone help me set that up?

You can use the same iTunes account. Each device should have its own name (settings, general, about, name). When you connect to iTunes, it will see the individual device. You can then sync whatever you want to that device. I have 2 iPhones and 2 iPads on my iTunes account.

How to combine external hard drive iTunes account to my MacBook Pro's iTunes account?

Hey All,
I have external hard drive that contains my Macbook Air's iTunes account, and I want to combine it to my 'main' MacBook Pro's iTunes account.
I have spent endless hours organizing the music on my external hard drive (ie: genres, groupings, comments, etc) and am hoping to retain all of this precious information.
I am a newbie and obviously not very tech savy.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Ask me anything to assist in the process and I will get back to your promptly.
Cheers,
Danny

I just answered a question like this about an hour ago so I won't type it all in again. No, there isn't an easy way to merge libraries. You can copy the entire iTunes library to the internal drive and then try to export playlists and import them into the other library, Haven't done it myself but it may work. Fortunately most of the things you mention are contained inside the files themselves (unless you use WAV format) so even if you end up having to add the files to the main library as new files they will still have your data (but not ratings, or date added, or playlists).

HT4796 how can i merge my pc itunes account with my macbook itunes

I wanna use the migration assisstant but i want it to be on my main mac profile, the migration thing says it will create a new user account (totally effin lame). My question is whats the quickest and easiest way to get my itunes over. I have 45 gb of music, 8 gb of photos, 2 gb of videos and about 6 gb of apps. I have a lot of stuff so i know it will take a while. Im considering using my dads passport harddrive and making a copy then copying it over to the macbook. However I have heard formatting is an issue when going form pc to mac. Blahhh I just want all my data on my mac, on my profile. Thanks a lot if you could help me with this

Thanks for the feedback Ed.
It was 18 months ago now that I moved over so inevitably I've setup a UK iTunes.
With iCloud I now have 3 accounts - UK, Australia and @me.com!
Surely there is a way to combine all three and have one universal password?

How do I access iWeb and iDVD on my new Macbook Air?

I just bought a new MacBook Air and read that I can load iPhoto 11, iMovie 11, and GarageBand from the app store, which I did. I don't see iWeb or iDVD anywhere, on the MacBook or in the app store.
I guess iWeb and iDVD are part of the iLife 11 package, which does not come with the MacBook Air (thought it did), but I wanted to check in case I am overlooking something.

If you have another Mac that you can connect to your Air with a local area network or int the Target Disk Mode, Transferring files between two computers using FireWire, you would be able to run the iLife 11 installer disk on the other Mac and select the Air as the location for the installation.
