    Hello brjdunn,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    You are able to change your Apple ID by following the instructions below.  That way you will still have access to all of your previous purchases:

  • I connected my new iphone 4 to itunes but now it wont recognise my old 3gs. My name doesnt appear on the left. i want to transfer all my songs to my new one but cant sync now. can anyone help

    i connected my new iphone 4 to itunes before backing up my old one but now it wont recognise my old 3gs. My name doesnt appear on the left. i want to transfer all my songs to my new one but cant sync now. can anyone help

    Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
    Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

  • 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?

    By following the instructions in the article - How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer 

  • 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    I have a previous iTunes account with purchased music but the email address is no longer active.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

  • I had an old ipod touch. I got a new one. All of the music and apps are still on my account, but when I try to sync it the music and apps will not go on to my new ipod touch.

    I had an old ipod touch. I got a new one. I still have all of the music and apps on  my itunes but I cannot sync it to my new ipod.

    Are you sure you have iTunes set up to synch to your new iPod?  The reason I ask is that by default, iTunes will not automatically synch to a new device.  You have to go to the Apps tab and click Synch Apps, and do the same for Music, PodCasts, and so on....

  • HT203167 I had a previous iTunes account with another email address.  Somehow when I bought a macbook Pro I created a new apple id and I can't access my old itunes account.  Can anyone help me with this?  Frustrated with myself.

    I had an itune account and library with lots of my music and purchased music.  I had it under another email address using Windows.  I purchased a MacBook pro and in my learning how to use it, being so different, I created another apple id and now I can't access my old account or purchases... Is there anything I can do to fix this... Ann

    If you have purchases on your iPod Shuffle that you want to sync back to iTunes, but are under the Apple ID you no longer have access to, you'll need to reset that account information. You can use this link to reset your password.
    https://iforgot.apple.com/
    If that doesn' work or help, you'll need to contact iTunes support and have them walk you through the process of resetting the older account information.  Once you know the email and password again, you can authorize your new computer and transfer any purchases from this account back to iTunes.
    For all non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need to the assistance of some sort of third party software that is not supported by Apple. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

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

    My wife and i are getting divorced and I, i have had an itunes account for a few years. We recently switched my credit card infor for hers before the divorce decision. 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.

  • Revive old itunes account with email that no longer works??

    i have an old account under [email protected]
    Apple says it has been disabled, when i try to set new password i can not because that email has been dead form years.

    i just imported all my old music from a ten year old windows XP machine to my new windows 8 machine, now itunes wants me to enter the password for [email protected] to allow these old songs on my new itunes account

    You need to contact Apple. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.

  • 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:

  • I lost my iPod touch and now have a new one.  Is there a way to transfer all the songs on have in iTunes onto the new iPod?

    I lost my iPod touch and bought a new one?  Is there a way to transfer all the songs I have in iTunes onto the new iPod?  I am scared I will lose it all when I sync the new one or that I have to start all over.   Please help!!

    You can do better than that. You can click on the Restore button that appears under your device in iTunes. This will restore your iPod to factory settings as if it were fresh out of the box. But don't worry. By doing a restore, you will then be given the option to "Restore from Backup." This will allow you to restore the state of your previous iPod!!

  • HT1414 My iPod has the IOS 5.1.1 OS and I can't download some apps because the operating system is too old. How can I upgrade my iPod without having to buy a new one?

    I have an iPod Touch that has the IOS 5.1.1 and I want to update my OS without having to buy a new device. How can I do this? I have logged into ITunes, backed up my device and it says my device is up to date, but now I can't reload my Facebook App because it says I need IOS 6.0 or higher. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • Get password to old itunes account with defunct email?

    At one time I had two accounts under which I bought music, not knowing any better. Now on my new computer there are a bunch of songs I can't download to my iPhone because the computer is not "authorized" for those. I have forgotten the password and the email address is long gone. How can I get those back?
    Thank you!
