How to find an older device on my itunes account and transfer to a new computer

I had an itunes account on my laptop and my laptop broke how can I transfer my itunes account to a new computer and find my old devices on it?

What are you talking about?
An account is just a username and password with which you purchase content.
You can sign into your account from any computer/device with itunes.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put your content on your new computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries.
Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store - Support - Apple
No idea what you mean by "find my old devices on it"

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.

If you enabled Find my iPhone then you should use that. If not, I'm afraid you're out of luck for finding it.
To manage your devices, go to Your Account in iTunes.

How can i take the pictures from my old ipod and transfer them onto my computer without deleting anything

How can I take the pics from my old ipod and transfer them onto my computer without deleting anything?

Pictures on an iPod are stored in a special format, optimized for the iPod's small lower resolution screen, to save storage space. iTunes puts them into that format when syncing. There is setting in iTunes, on the iPod's Photos screen (where you set up syncing of photos) for Include full resolution photos. If that checkbox was checked when you synced the photos to the iPod, THEN you can Enable disk use and find those photo files on the iPod in the Photos folder.
Otherwise, you cannot get your photos back, using iTunes. There may be third-party utilities that can extract individual photos from the iPod, but they will still be lower-resolution versions of the original photo.

How you you take an ipod off of one account and transfer it to another account?

If you mean iTunes libraries, sync it with the desired iTunes library. If you mean iTunes Store accounts, an iPod can contain content from five of them at once with no special actions needed.

HT204088 How on earth did someone hack into my iTunes account and charge my visa/debit card? I didn't know until I got my bank statement with a fake phone # to call iTunes has this happened to anyone else?

How on earth does someone hack into my iTunes account and charge my visa/debit card? I got no emails from iTunes, so I know it's not them. This has happened twice to me and it's after I take out my credit information. I found out because of a bounced check, plus my bank statement had all the charges on it. They start small with just a few dollars but they do it every day sometimes twice a day. Then next to where they tell you who charged it, it says iTunes with a bogus phone# to call? In total they stole $224 from me. I was lucky my bank refunded the money stollen. Has this happened to anyone else?

People get their accounts hacked all the time. It's unfortunate, but true. To prevent this in the future, you need to:
- choose a good password, with a mix of upper and lowercase letter and numbers, that someone wouldn't be able to guess by stalking you on social media sites
- be aware of surroundings when entering a password, to be sure nobody's looking over your shoulder
- be cautious of what you do on open wifi networks (ie, networks that do not require a password to join)
- use a different password on each site
- use a password manager so you don't have to remember all those different passwords

What sort of transaction ?
If it's an auto-renewing subscription that is due then there are instructions on this page for managing and stopping them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
If it's a pre-order that is being released then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5714
If it's something that you've already 'paid for' then purchases are considered final, but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will cancel/refund it : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

I found an old iPod classic of mine. It's not synced to my new MacBook Pro. How can I get the music and photos off of it and on to my new computer? When I plug it in to my new computer it wants to erase what is on it and transfer from my new computer.

I found an old iPod classic of mine that is synced to a computer that is long gone. I want to get the music and photos from this old iPod onto my new computer. Every time I hook the iPod up to my new computer it wants to delete what is on the iPod and replace with the contents of the iTunes that is currently on the new computer. I don't want to do that. I want to keep what is on the old iPod and transfer it to iTunes. Any help? Thanks!

See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

How can I have two devices with separate iTunes accounts on the same computer without sharing libraries?

I have an iPhone 3s and my sister has an iPhone 3. We use them only as iPods. We each have our own iTunes account, but we have to share a computer. How can we both syn our devices without sharing our music and app libraries?

The most reliable way would be to set up individual user accounts in WIndows. Then each of your iTunes libraries will be completely separate.

How do I add a device to my iTunes account?

I just got an iPhone 5S and I have an existing iTunes account from my iPod. I went into mange devices on iTunes but I only see the option of deleting a device, not adding. So how do I add one then?

Hi, Colbly.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You would just need to sign into your Apple ID through Settings > iTunes & App Store to associate your device to your Apple ID. This will give you access to all your previous purchases made with your Apple ID. You may be asked to answer your security questions as an authentication method on new purchases with the device.

De-authorize it. Or check the instructions given in the Learn about link at the top of this topic. Also check the links below the heading "More Like This" on the right side of the page.
Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
