HT1420 How to authorize an old purchase on a new ID, but do not have old ID information.

What if you bought music/videos/games on one ID that you no longer use and don't have to account information anymore, BUT you want to authorize those items bought on old ID on your new ID. How you one do that?
About four years ago my old laptop crashed and I lost all of my music, games, videos, etc, from my iTunes. Recently I was able to get all of my music and videos off of my iPod classic. Most of the music I had on my iPod was ripped from personal CD’s but a handful of my music and videos I did buy off of iTunes and I cannot play those due to having a different computer/iTunes account. How can I get these items that I purchased to play on my new computer/iTunes account? When I try to play anything that was bought from iTunes on my old computer it tells me to authorize use on this. The problem is that an old username that comes up and I am unable to access that account anymore. It is a very old email address that is long gone. So, how do I fix this so I can get my media? Thanks!

I too am having this same problem but I have not seen ANY solutions for it. Looks like Apple is ignoring it!!!!!!!!?

  • I just purchased a Mac book pro and set up a new Apple ID with it. I already have Mac desktop computer with the original account my family has opened. I would like to transfer our old purchases to my new account, but we already have 5 devices authorized.

    I just got a new Mac Book for college and I created my own apple id for it. My family already has a shared account and I was hoping to transfer the purchases from that account onto my new account. I tried the Homesharing feature, but we already have 5 devices that were authorized and we can't add another. What is the best way to make the transfer work?

    You are most welcome

  • How do I load my CS5 onto my new laptop that does not have a disk drive?

    I have my disks and serial number but there in no disk drive on this new laptop.

    That sounds like you are saying you do not have a DVD drive on your computer to insert the discs. No problem. You can download the installer direct from Adobe. All you will need is the serial number.
    Download CS5 products  Photoshop CS5 installers are available for both Windows and Mac.
    For Windows there will be two files, an .exe and a .7z that must be downloaded. The exe will create the installer when run.

  • How do i download previous purchases to my new computer. my old computer crashed and i lost my itunes library

    how do i download previous purchases to my new computer. my old computer

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
    If you are in the U.S. you can use the cloud:

    The old Apple ID (presumably your dads) owns those songs and your new Apple ID does not.  However, your dad can authorize your iD to use the songs by going to Store > Authorize This Computer from your iTunes menu and entering his Apple ID and password.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • HT1727 help how do i make a purchased song my ring tone, it;s not showing on my list for ringtones

    help how do i make a purchased song my ring tone, it's not showing on my list for ringtones

    This song was purchased from the iTunes Store?
    If so, you can't create a ringtone from music that was purchased from the iTunes store, but if there is a ringtone available for purchase and download at the iTunes Store with this song, you need to do that.
    For music in your iTunes library on your computer that was not purchased from the iTunes store, there are a number of ways to create a ringtone with such music. With a Mac, there is an inexpensive or free app avaiable via Apple's online App Store named Ringer. Ringer has access to all music and sound files in your iTunes library that was not downloaded from the iTunes Store for creating your chosen segment of the song to be used for the ringtone. The app places the created ringtone in your iTunes library under Tones for transfer to your iPhone when syncing.
    Creating ringtones on a Mac can also be done with GarageBand, and there is a manual way of doing this with iTunes.

    An app is considered to be installed if it shows up in a Spotlight search of local volumes. Bring up a search window in the Finder by pressing the key combination command-F. Search This Mac for the name of the application. Delete all copies that are found.

    Are you referring to Australis? <br/>

    Firefox Nightly 29.0a1 has that new User Interface. But Australis won't be in a release version until Firefox 30 or 31, well into 2014.

    if you follow all 7 steps, you can download a trial via one of the links on this page using a browser that accepts cookies:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a download problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem, but your browser must also allow cookies so that's (a restrictive browser setting) another potential source of problems.

    That looks like a JSON bookmarks backup file, from 11-01-2012. Did you try '''restoring''' that file?
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them#w_using-a-bookmark-backup-file
    Never messed with JSON files other than viewing them on a few occasions out of curiosity. There are no line breaks which make them very difficult to read.
    As far as working with that file in {like} NotePad goes:
    A. use Find / Search for each indecent of a '''"uri"''' string, then "copy and paste" the uri into another text file, and then move on to the next "uri" string.
    B. use a text program where a filter can be set for the "uri" field in the JSON file for a line break or to "scrape out" the "uri"s only for display or export to a list of uri's.
    Or try using an online JSON editor like this, to try to display only the "uri" field.
