How do I convert songs bought on old account IDs to a single account ID?

Over the years I have bought songs under different account IDs. They all show up and play when I am in iTunes or iPhone, but only newer ones will play over my Apple TV. Any clues?

HOW CAN I AUTHORISE SONGS FROM AN OLD ACCOUNT? PLEASE HELP

I recently upgraded to a ner version of itunes, at the same time, i reset my ipod software, which has now been sent off for repair. Itunes wont let me play approz 1000 songs that i have purchased.
It says to provide a password to authorise, only problem is, i no longer use that account ID, despite still knowing my password.
I can authorise more recent purchases, as that ID is current. Is there any way i can get old songs back, or have itunes ripped me off out of about £800? I dont understand why this happened.

I dont understand why this happened.
For one thing, you created a new iTunes account.
No need to do that. Just edit your account with any new info if you move or get a new email address/ISP.

Does anyone know how I can transfer songs from my old Dell Digital Jukebox to iTunes so I can sync them to my nano?

I have a new Windows 8.1 pc, and a new iPod nano 7th gen. How do I upload songs from my old Dell Digital Jukebox (yes, I know it's a dinosaur, but it still works great) to iTunes so I can sync those songs over to the nano?

Also, I should mention that I spoke to an Apple rep. He sent me a link to download a driver for the Jukebox once we found out that the pc did not recognize the device when I plugged it into the USB port. He told me that once I upload the driver, it will recognize it and I can just copy and paste the songs into a folder, then import them to iTunes. So far it has not worked and when I tried to call back, it looks like morning is the soonest I can speak to someone. So I'm trying on here.

Purchases cannot be transferred between different Apple IDs.

I had an Apple ID under an old email address that I have now changed, but the old address still shows up in my iCloud account since I installed Yosemite. How do I get rid of that old account altogether?

You cannot merge accounts.
You need to sign into the old account on your computer.

How can I transfer songs from my old Ipod to my new one?

I just bought a new ipod video from apple and I would like to transfer all of my songs from my old 3rd generation ipod to my new one, how can I do this?

Download iRip, the program will detect your iPod then select "recover". If you have a firewire connection this will be fast. If you have a new iPod then you'll wait a little longer for your music to be ripped. When everything's recovered you eject the old iPod and connect the new one, drag'n drop, voilá. Don't forget to get rid of your music once you are sure it's installed -and maybe backuped in a external hard drive- so your computer memory won't be affected.
I use mac, I'm noticing that you are windows, if this don't work, google "rip ipod" and you'll find something there. Hope it works!

How do you convert songs ON the iPod to 128kbs?

There is an option to convert new songs I put on my iPod (3rd generation, 4GB) to 128kbs, but how do I convert the songs already on it? Many of them are 256kbs and I need the space, and can't tell the difference in quality. I have a large library on my computer so I manually manage my iPod library. "Updating" the songs by dragging them individually to the iPod isn't a realistic option since it would take forever, AND to add insult to injury it even removes the song from any playlist when you do this!
Ideally I would like a button in iTunes that would convert all my songs on my iPod to 128kbs, but what's the next best thing?
null

If it matters, I should add that I have both Mac and PC, so if there's any iTunes plugin or external application available to do what I want, I will be able to run it.

I have two itunes accounts one old and a new one. I want to merge the songs from the old account to the new one. How is that accomplished?

Older songs tied to old account

I had an old account name from a couple of years ago. So, now when I try to play the old songs that were purchased under that account, it ask to authorize the account. I remember the password, but it says that the account is no longer a valid account.
How can I transfer these songs to my current account or re-activate the old account.
Thanks!

iTunes accounts do not go bad, and they are needed forever in order to authorize songs that were bought under than account. If the authorization is not working, use this page to request help from Customer Service.

TS1389 Hi, I am Natalie Prince and I opened my Itunes account in 2006 when I got my Ipod. I purchased lots of music. Over the years I haved changed computers and phones. I now have an HTC One and I want all the songs from my old account on it.

I think I had an old itunes id. When I go to Itunes on my program list all of my music comes up, there are probably a hundred or two songs. But it never let me burn them to anything other than my Ipod. I changed my password so now when I pull up my account there is no music. Can anyone tell me how to find my old account and then copy that music to my HTC One.?

Either you did or did not. Do you not remember?

Media is not burned to iDevices. Burning an iDevice would destroy it.
Why will iTunes not allow you to sync media to the iDevice? What happens when trying to sync media to an iDevice?

Changed password to what?
Pull up what account?
What does this have to do with iTunes?
One does not pull up an account to access their media, they simply launch iTunes.
Changing a password has nothing to do with accessing the media on the computer when one launches iTunes.
What is the actual issue that is occurring?

iTunes has nothing to do with putting media on a non-Apple device.

How do I transfer my ipod songs to a new account because I can't recover my old account?

What do you mean by new account? New account on your PC or a new Apple ID account? Need a bit of clarification here.

Song transferred from old account suddenly no longer plays after years of having no issues

A song I transferred from an old apple account years ago stopped working today and to play it in itunes, I am immediately prompted to log into my old account which is no longer active because I deleted the email address that was linked to the account. How do I retrieve the song? It is no longer available for purchase on itunes.

Hello there,
We have heard about your issue from the discussion thread below:

We would like to know if you would be able to provide the following:

Thank you,

Which was the same as no response — since they never followed up.
I did provide them with the title of the book, which is:

The customer just emailed me again to find out if I knew why their videos won't play in the iBooks Author eBook — since upgrading to iOS8. She states:
"I was wondering if you ever heard anything about this. My iBook still does not work. Today there was a upgrade this morning for IOS 8.1 which I downloaded and it made no difference for my vimeo on the iBook."
