HT1420 Start a new iTunes account with songs in an existing account.
My daughter and I share an iTunes account and have for 5 years. I want to separate her and my songs and establish a separate account for her.
How can I do this without repurchasing all of her songs. She has over 7,000?
You can create a new account for her, but all existing purchases/downloads will remain tied to your existing account, and you can't transfer them to the new account. As long as that account is authorised on the computer's iTunes that she will be syncing any devices to, and those songs are on that computer, then she should be able to continue to use them.

How do I start a new iTunes, iCloud account on iPod, iPad?
I need to know the best way to approach this... I have an iPhone & iPad that I share an iTunes account with my brothers (each of them has an iPhone). I want to start a new iTunes account on my personal laptop since i'm no longer living with them. Should I restore my phone from scratch and create an entirely new iTunes account, having to redownload all my apps, songs, etc? No matter what I need to do, I have a feeling it'll be time consuming, but I just want to know the best way to go about things! Thanks!
Well, if you want to waste a ton of time, go right ahead and restore.
Or if you value your time and sanity... simply go to Settings > Store > Sign Out.
Then select Sign In and when prompted select the option to create a new Apple ID.
Keep in mind that all your current media and apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID they were acquired with. -
I can´t start my new iTunes account without insert credit card number
Hello,
I can´t start my new iTunes account without insert credit card number.
I have my new Apple ID, star itunes and to log for the firt time, becouse it´s firt time I need to agree with to terms of use and next need to give my credit card numbers which I do not want to do. But without this information will not let me go, what can I do?
Thanks for your help!Hi Limnos,
I already have an Apple ID, the problem is how to use it in iTunes for the first time without asking for credit card.
Your solution is to create a new Apple ID but I've already got one, how can I use it?
Thank´s. -

Starting a new iTunes library?
My old laptop with my original iTunes library broke recently. I want to transfer all my data from my iPod onto a new library without erasing ANYTHING on the iPod. I've tried doing the whole "Manually Manage" thing but it doesn't really seem to work for me because it's meant for syncing material from the new library to the iPod instead of what I need, syncing material from the iPod to the new library. Is there any way to accomplish what I need to accomplish or is it immpossible to start a new iTunes library without erasing my original data?

Help, please! Any advice on how I link my new iMac and my new itunes software with existing external harddrive containing my entire itunes library?
Hello!
It should be a matter of
Quiting iTunes first if it's running
Connecting your external harddrive to your Mac, use the Finder to browse to it
Find your iTunes folder on the ext HDD and double-click on iTunes Library.itl
If you have any trouble with this, please let us know. -

Can I merge my iCloud email account with my mobile.me email account?
Can I merge my iCloud email account with my mobile.me email account?
Are the usernames the same - e.g. is it [email protected] and [email protected] or is it [email protected] and [email protected]?
If the former, they are the same thing, part of the same account, and deliver into the same inbox.
If they are different then either
a) One of them is an 'alias' on the same account and delivers into the same inbox, or
b) You have two separate iCloud accounts.
In the latter case you cannot move an address from one account to another; in the other cases they are already 'merged'. -
Why they deleted my iCloud account? I have an account with yahoo, and removed my account, not reset my password, and do the steps to reset password, when I put my date of birth does not accept, please i need that account, because I have iphone 4 in that account and I can not activate the iphone
Hello Jbug0409,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re running into an Apple ID password issue on your iPod touch, and you’ve created another account which you weren’t able to verify because you didn’t receive the verification email.
Try resetting the Apple ID password for the account that’s already on your iPod touch as shown here:
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
Also, take a look at this article which provides troubleshooting suggestions that’ll resolve most issues receiving verification emails.
If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support
So long,

I have an older ipod which many years ago I loaded my music from Itunes on another computer. . .that computer crashed. . .I now have a new Itunes account and music loaded on another computer. . I would like to add songs onto my ipod. . .can this be done?
Not without erasing what is currently on the iPod first, since an iPod can only be synced with one computer/iTunes library at a time.
A better way to go about it, is to copy everything currently on the iPod to your new iTunes library first. Then connect it to iTunes and either choose the Erase and Sync option or restore the device to allow it to start syncing with the new library.
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.

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new i tunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted whin i sync it to itunes after purchasing new music?
I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
What is the way to actually contact Apple?
I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . . -
I recently started using my desktop iMac 27" and have been having problems since installing Mavericks, not saying that Mavericks is the problem per se. I think I have too many accounts with too many names, with too many Apple IDs and too many passwords, email passwords and Apple ID passwords, and keychain passwords, etc. Can't keep them straight even though I write everything down. The screen has been making me log in and log out with Account name and passwords after everything I've been doing, also confused about Users and Groups and how to sync everything. I finally just "shut down" everything and the screen was black. When I turned the computer on again, the circular gear in the middle just kept turning but nothing happened after that. Then I held the on button in the back until the screen went black again.
What should I do? Is there a way to combine all my accounts into one account with one Apple ID? I should say that I also have trying to use iCloud and it has different IDs and passwords. Also when I try to log in with one account name, I can't enter anything I write,and when I type on the keyboard, nothing appears on the screen, although I can receive emails, I can't send them.
In another account, what I type does appear on the screen, but I think it's an earlier account and doesn't translate aver to the other account. ALTHOUGH i set up iCloud accounts, they don't appear any more.
Very confused. Any Ideas about how I can get the computer to start up again and show a new screen?
Thanks to anyone who has workable suggestions.If you really believe that your system has been compromised, here's what you do:
Disconnect your Mac from your cable modem;
Back up any documents on your system that are important to you;
Boot your Mac from the system installation disks that came with it (insert the disk, restart your Mac, and hold down the "c" key until you get the "spinning gear" icon);
Choose a language and click the arrow button to continue;
From the Utilities menu, choose Disk Utility;
In Disk Utility, select your computer's hard drive;
Click the "Erase" tab;
Click the "Security Options" button and select to have it overwrite all the data on the hard drive;
Click the "Erase" button and allow it to process;
Once the "erase process has completed (it will take a while), reinstall Mac OS X.
Or, if this is too much for you to accomplish on your own, take your system to an Apple Store and have them help you perform these steps. If your system was indeed compromised, this will remove any such hack. You can then set up a new user account for the computer, reinstall your applications (reinstall only from original disks or downloads from the company making the software) and documents, and reconnect to the Internet.
Note that when you reconnect to the cable modem, you may still get an IP address starting with 198. This is normal with some cable modems and probably not a cause for concern. It will not be an indication that your system is still compromised; that will not be possible if you perform all the above steps.

We have a family iTunes account but we are now wanting to separate into 2accounts for financial reasons. Is it possible to transfere all purchased material into a new iTunes account then continue to have the 2seperate accounts with separate billing information going forward.
All content from iTunes is tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it, and it's not currently possible to copy or transfer content to a different account. You can create a new account for new purchases, and as long as the current account is authorised on the computers iTunes that you use then you should be able to continue using that content.
Note that if you use iTunes match, turn on automatic downloads or re-download past purchases for an account then you risk tying that computer to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
