How do I keep the songs I purchased on my mom's account on my ipod after I sync my ipod with my new account on my new computer?

So my family generally uses one Itunes account. I recently got my own credit card so I decided to open up my own Itunes account so I didn't have to ask one of my parents to put in the password every time I wanted to do something related to the itunes store. Now 99% of my songs/apps are linked to the old account, so from what I have read, all of the songs I purchased will be deleted. How do I transfer all of the songs on my ipod to my new computer with the new account? Without having to pay for 3rd party tools.

The way to keep the photos from downloading to your wife's phone would be for her to go to Settings > iCloud > Photos > and turn off iCloud Photo Library. If that isn't an option, the other option would be for her to have her own Apple ID ( and possibly explore the new family sharing options https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/ )
Regarding the "related question" see the quotes below from iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album.
If you want to reduce the space used by photos on your phone, rather than deleting them see the following:
How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.

    I have been sharing my iTunes account with my kids...now they are getting older and want to have their own accounts, how do I share the songs I purchased for them on my account with them on their new accounts?  Is there a way to transer from my main account their new accounts?  And can I share music from my account with them?

    You can't currently transfer content from one account to another account. As long as the tracks are on the computer's iTunes that they use/sync to, and your account is authorised on that iTunes, then they should be able to continue to use them.

    When burning a playlist to disc, how do you keep the songs in original order?

    If you are burning an audio CD, they will burn in sequential order as in your playlist.
    If you are burning an MP3 CD or a data CD, they will burn as individual files, and can be sorted any way you like when you view the CD.  For an MP3 CD, the files will be prepended with a sequence number, so if you sort by filename, they will be in the original order.

    Johnnyontherocks it is likely you installed an updated version of the Adobe Application Manager.  Remove all copies of Adobe Creative software from the computer and reinstall to downgrade the installation.

    Check the section in the User Guide for Music, It might help you navigate around the app a little better: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
    To reiterate, some reasons you may not be getting Albums group as you want:
    Songs are not properly tagged in itunes prior to synching (you should also make sure Album Artist is tagged, BTW)
    You are using the wrong view in the Music app

    Hello shay82578,
    It sounds like you are trying to sync music from iTunes to your iPod nano.  I found some articles with steps to sync music to your iPod:
    If you are using iTunes 11, you will want to follow the steps in this article:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
    If you are using an earlier version of iTunes, you can follow the steps in this article:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
    To be able to sync music from iTunes to your iPod nano, the music will need to be on the computer rather than streaming from iTunes in the Cloud.  You can find the steps to download your purchased music to your computer's hard drive under the section titled, "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer" in the following article:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. 
    Best,

If you could help me out that would be great with all this snow we're having up my way it would be nice to have some music to shovel to lol thanks a bunch

    P.S : if u could could you e-mail me and explain how if there is an option I can choose to stop the songs from going off my ipod when I delete them from my comp. e-mail me at [email protected]

    You'll eventually want to Transfer music manually
    However:
    Deleting songs off of iTunes or your computer is a very bad idea unless you have created one or more backup files of all your songs.
    The iPod is really designed to be playback device - not a primary storage device (although it can be used as such), and certainly not as the only storage medium for all your music.
    Using the iPod as the sole repository of any of your songs is a very risky practice. When (not ‘if’) you need to restore the iPod, return the iPod for service, or it's song files are somehow lost or damaged, you will be re-ripping all your CDs back into iTunes (time-consuming for any more than 10-20 CDs) and re-purchasing all your iTMS songs (expensive). Restoring the iPod is a common ‘fix’ to many small issues that arise.
    If you cannot store your songs on a PC or within iTunes, then you will need to have some storage medium in use (an external hard drive, DVDs or CDs). You should also consider a secondary backup medium for additional safety. Whether you keep your music in iTunes or on an external source – Multiple copies of your music files are a must!
    Always backup your PC files: both music and data. Backup as frequently as possible. The usual ‘metric’ is to determine just how much work (hours, days, weeks) or money spent you are willing to repeat by extending out your time between backups. Your choice, your potential headache &/or loss.
    Many data-savvy folks have more than one backup and create incremental backups every time they add to or change their Library. Depending on the work I am doing, I may perform several backups during the same day. As they are incremental, and placed on my Backup ExHD – it is a very quick operation to perform several times a day, when needed.
    If you are heavily invested in your Library data (Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings, Last Played, Date Added, etc.), then:
    it is critical that you also make multiple backups of your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file.
    iTMS REMINDER: While you can always take the time to re-rip the CDs you own to restore your iTunes music, if you lose your iTMS purchased music and have no backups, you will have to re-purchase them. Few exceptions are made to this rule – at least none that I am aware of.
    Here is a post on developing a backup strategy:

  • How do i get the songs i purchased off of my phone back onto it after restoring it?

    i had to get a new iphone4, before going to the store i updated and saved all my stuff onto my computer. i came home to restore it, none of my songs were on my phone. i got my songs back onto my phone after i plugged it in again. now, none of the songs i purchased from my phone on the first iphone are there. and if i try to download a song that i already purchased from my phone, it wont let me get it because "i have already downloaded this item." how do i get them back on to my phone?!

    If they are not on your computer, how does iTunes say that you still have them?
    Do you mean that they show in your purchase history in iTunes?
    It sounds like you did not "Transfer purchases" when  you synced your iPhone.  And as such, it's highly unlikely they were ever on your computer.
    The iPhone is not a storage device.  It is intended that all purchases be transfered to your computer for backup on a regular basis.  Then as an added measure, create a backup of your iTunes library to an external drive, CD/DVD's, or flash drives in the event something happens to your computer.
    It is ultimately up to the user to ensure that their media and files are backed up.

  • I had to re-download itunes for my computer, how do I keep the songs that I did not buy from itunes?

    I had redownload itunes because I had to get a new harddrive for my computer. Some of the songs from my ipod are not purchased from itunes. They are from cds and songs I have downloaded from the computer. How do I keep those from being erased when I sync my ipod onto itunes?

    Ideally you should restore your library from a recent backup - hard drives fail, usually without warning, so you should always maintain a backup of all data that you value.  Otherwise, see turingtest2's user tip on Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Sync on a new pc. how do i keep the songs ive paid for

    i first registered my iphone 3g with a computer, started to download songs both on the pc and on my iphone using itunes. my computer broke and so i had to get a new computer. if i use my iphone with my new computer on itunes will it delete my existing purchases if i sync on the new computer??

    Welcome to the discussions,
    You can only transfer music you bought in the itunes store from your phone to your computer. To transfer your purchases, disable autosync in itunes, connect your phone. Right click on the phone in the device list and choose transfer purchases. Back up the same way to be able to restore your settings after your phone has been wiped during the first sync. Make sure you have at least one contact and event set up on your pc to get the merge prompt.

    If you want to transfer music you did not buy in itunes, you'll have to use 3rd party software like [touchcopy|http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy] for example. Software of this kind is not supported by Apple.
