How to sync old iTunes account with new.

I have an old iPod nano that was linked to an old iTunes account that I don't use anymore. How can I get the music off of that iPod and into the new iTunes account?

HT1727 Can I sync old iTunes account with a new iTunes account?

I have a previous iTunes account with purchased music but the email address is no longer active. Is it possible to move that music to my new iTunes account?

No, you can't move content between accounts nor merge accounts - all content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it. You should be able to update the email address on the account (you can't use an address that is in use on another account), either via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com

Can I sync my itunes account with an external hard drive to save memory on my computer?

I have a computer with limited space, so I transferred my itunes library to an external hard drive. Now my problem is syncing my itunes account on my computer with my itunes library on the external hard drive. Can someone explain how to sync these two up?

When iTunes launches it looks for a iTunes Library .XML file in your Music/iTunes Folder, if it's not there, then it creates one.
So you got the entire iTunes Folder on the powered external drive (you also should have a backup someplace too)
Now launch iTunes and then quit it.
Look in your external drive iTunes Folder for a iTunes Library .XML file, copy that and replace the new one in your iTunes Folder on your boot drive.
Now open this .XML file in a Text program that has "Find and Replace" ability, you have to take all the old pathnames to your content and replace them with the new pathname.
For instance \Windows\Users\Mark\Music\iTunes Folder
should now be something like this:
\DriveB\MusicFolder\iTunes Folder
Get the idea? your replacing all the partial pathnames to match the new drive.
You need to have the external drive mounted and ready, then launch iTunes which will look for the .XML file in your boot drive >iTunes Folder, then when you click to play a song, instead of it finding it in your boot drive iTunes Folder, it's in your external drive iTunes Folder.

How do i share the purchases from my old itunes account, with my new itunes account and id?

Now I have adjusted the account to give her the original account and I have created a new second account with my credit card information. I need to know how to make the purchaces from the original account avaiable to the new account.

Do you have your purchases on a backup drive ? If not then depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to redownload some/all of your iTunes purchases via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes - what you can redownload will depend upon what country that you are in (music, films, TV programmes can't be redownloaded in all ; audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads), and whether they are still in your country's store (rights-holders occasionally remove things).
If you do redownload an account's past purchases then you may tie that computer to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - so you won't be able to use iTunes Match or automatic downloads or redownload past purchases from another account until the 90 days have completed.

How do i sync one itunes account with two iphones, one ipod touch, and a nano?

I need help in how to sync the one itunes account we use as a family with the two iphones my wife and i have and an ipod touch that my son has and a nano that my daughter has. Please help.

That article applies, as far as I can tell, to all things called iPod X where X can be nano, touch, classic etc.
We don't have two iPhones in the family as yet but as I understand it each device can have separate settings for syncing calendars and contacts. For example my iPhone syncs these over the air with the Exchange server at work so if/when my wife gets an iPhone it would be easy to have hers sync to our computer
To make sure your apps don't inadvertently merge turn off Automatically sync new apps from the apps tab when you connect your device.
The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways for managing the media content. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
e.g.
"Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
"Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
etc.
I currently manage our family's five iDevices using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their device. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed and need rebuilding. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

Can I merge my old iTunes account with my new iCloud account?

I think I recall Apple maybe mentioning something like this before, but I've got an Apple ID from years ago with a @gmail.com that I don't use anymore a iCloud account I use all the time. It's not a huge deal to log in and log back out with my other account to get apps and such I bought on my old account but I was wondering if there is a way to merge the two.

Your music will only be where you put it.
Copy it from your backup copy of your old comuter to your new one.
If for some reson you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can redownload some content in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT1727 how do i share itunes library with new iphone device?

I just bought a new iphone and set up new icloud account. How do I share my itunes librbary with this device/account?

Guys, its not that easy. When you answer questions here, please imagine that some individuals may be new to apple, itunes, and its never just as easy as "select what you want. Explain how to get to the settings you are telling them to use, and step by step help... If they wanted a simple answer they wouldn't spend the time to get on here and ask.

How do I switch ITunes account to new computer

Old lap top met a tragic end due to a 4 year old and a cup of OJ. We purchased a new iMac and need to transfer the ITunes account to the new computer, but we aren't sure how to do it.

How to sync w/ iTune on a new computer

I am synching my iphone w/ a PC (windows XP) and have a lot of podcasts, music, etc on it. I also have my iphone backup by this iTune
I have installed iTune on a different computer (windows vista) and now like to start synching w/ this new iTune without losing anything (backups, music, etc) I have on the other machine.
How would I do this? I kind of like to move everything from one machine to another.
Thanks,
-Jalil

You need to transfer your iTunes library from the computer running XP to the different computer running Vista, which is stored in the iTunes folder located in the My Music folder. Transfer the entire iTunes folder and place it in the same location on the computer running Vista.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with a single computer only. After transferring your iTunes folder to the new or different computer, when first syncing iTunes content with this computer, all iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased first followed by being re-transferred to your iPhone since you are syncing iTunes content with a different computer - even though with the same iTunes library that was transferred from another computer.
You don't need to transfer your iPhone's backup from the computer running XP, you can create a new backup of your iPhone with iTunes on the new or different computer. With your iPhone connected, control-click on your iPhone in the iTunes source list. There is an option to create a backup.
