HT201269 Could I make a new iTunes account for my iPhone and transfer the music and tv episodes from the cloud of my old account to my phone?

I want to make a new iTunes account, but I don't want to loose all of my previous purchases from my old account. Could I create a new account from y iPhone? And with that new account, could I use the icloud from the old account to sync my previous purchases?

Purchases are forever tied to the ID used to purchase them. If you create a new iTunes account, you can still get your old purchases on your phone, but you'd have to sign out of the iTunes/App store with your new ID, then sign in with your old ID, then download them. Also, apps can only be updated using the ID used to originally obtain them. So, you'd have to sign out/sign in to update your apps that were obtained with the old ID.

  • Hello i have a big problem. when i got my first ipod i was little so i just put it on my moms account. and for 5 years now i have been buying music on her account and apps on her account. can i get my own account and transfer my music and apps over?

    Hello I have a Gigantic problem. when i first got my ipod i was little so i just put it on my moms account. for 5 years i have been buying music and apps on my moms account totaling more than 500 dollars. I would like to get my own account because I just want to have an independent account for myself. and so i can get other ipods. Obviously i cant afford to purcase all of the music and movies and apps again. nor do i want to. Is there a way for me to transfer the music to my new account. so i dont have to re buy evry thing.

    The music and apps you downloaded through your mother's account will always be associated with her account.  You can't transfer them to another account that you create for yourself.  I suppose this is a corporate restriction which was designed to prevent one user from sharing/transfering Apps and tunes to other users.  From a business and legal perspective, it makes sense because developers of apps and the producers of music are required to receive their royalties for their products each time they are sold/downloaded.  

  • HT201269 I was unable to get iTunes to recognise my iPhone when starting it up and had to use it so set it up as a new phone rather than syncing it with my old one...I really need my old contacts etc and have new cable that works and now want to set it up

    I lost my iPhone and got a new one so I could restore all my contacts etc but during set up my cable didn't work and I had to set it up as a new phone because i had to use it immediately. now I have a new cable and it's working and I want to restore all my contacts, can I still do this? thank you

  • I've had Itunes since the original ipod came out, I have upgraded to the new version, and upgraded my Ipod to and Ipod Touch, but I can't get the music I already purchased from the old Itunes to play/sync in my new itunes or ipod. How do I fix this?

    I have the new version of Itunes and have upgraded from 1st gen. Ipod to 4th gen. Ipod touch, I am unable to sync all my music from my old Itunes to my new Ipod, also when I try to play the music on the computer through Itunes it says it needs to be authorized but keeps using my Old email account (which I don't have anymore) for me to authorize, is there a way to fix/ change this so I don't have to buy that music over again?

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • HT5622 Do we need to make a new Apple ID for every iPhone we have?

    I seem to be getting family members conversations and also when I send a message it gets sent back to me in text message as well as go to who I sent to. Was just curious as to if we all made our own Apple ID if this would be corrected?

    RECEIVING MESSAGES INTENDED FOR OTHER DEVICES
    This occurs if you are sharing the same Apple ID for imessages.
    If you are receiving imessages intended for other devices you can fix this by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
    1. Uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both devices if they are iPhones; or
    2. On one of the devices go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign in with a different Apple ID.  Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for the iTunes & App store for purchasing if you wish; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud and other services.
    To prevent merging of your calendars and contacts when syncing calendars and contacts if you are using the same Apple ID for the iCloud account, be sure to set up separate iCloud accounts on each phone with separated IDs.  Remember that if you change your ID in iTunes & App store, that apps and other purchased content is forever linked to the ID that was used to download the apps and the apps can only be updated with the ID that was originally used to download them.  To download content purchased previously downloaded with a particular ID then that ID needs to be used to download past purchases.  If you want all apps to be connected with the same ID you need to delete those apps downloaded with the old ID and download them again with your current and if the apps in question were paid apps then you need to pay again.

  • Error Message 2001 with new ITunes 8 (for Mac) & IPhone 2.1

    Same general subject as many of tonight's posts. I updated to ITunes 8 & IPhone 2.1. There was some sort of problem during the latter update and my phone now has the "Cord &ITunes logo" with no emergency switch. When I connect the phone to the Mac through a USB, ITunes says that a recovery was stopped and that I must recover. So I hit recover but before the recover finishes it replies with Error message 2001 that it couldn't complete.
    This occurred on a relatively recent Mac. My only goal is to get the phone working - I'll restore my settings and sync the music later.
    Thank you
    Tom

    I don't have that same problem, I was able to download the new Ipod Touch software, but now that I have iTunes 8 and the new Ipod Touch software, it won't let me sync my Ipod. Any info would be great. When I try I get this message:
    The Ipod "Matt's Itouch" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13213).
    This just started happening this afternoon (I downloaded everything this morning.

  • All of my uploaded music within iTunes has been deleted, it is still on my C drive (I think) the music I had downloaded from the itunes store had also been removed but was available to download via the icloud system. HELP.

    My iTunes 11.1.5.5 was running fine on my Windows 7 machine untill  I opened iTunes to find all my uploaded CD albums missing with only my purchased iTunes store dowloads avalible, these had also been deleated but appeared within iTunes both to play and re dowload via icloud.
    Over 170gb of music was deleated from iTunes. I checked my C drive and it appears that the music is still on the P.C hard drive.
    Is there an easy simplistic way to repopulate my iTunes from my C drive.
    Simple instructions would help.
    Thank you very much.
