    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

    Lisa,
    Just get copies of the song files and add them to your iTunes library.  With the exception of any DRM-protected files (purchased before mid-2009 and never upgraded) they will play fine, even though they are technically associated with the original account.

  • How do I transfer my music from one account to another

    I'm trying to figure out how t transfer my music from one account to another since someone hacked into my girlfriends account and now iTunes locked her account as a one account use only and majority of my music was bought with my card. Is there any way to transfer all my purchased music into my new account? I still have the music I purchased on my pc.

    You can't, all content is tied to the account that purchased / downloaded it and it can't be copied or transferred to a different account.

    I am looking to move my WHOLE itunes library from my laptop to my new desktop mac?
    Help

    Hello Katharine,
    Follow the link Limnos provided. There's a step by step inside.
    On that page choose External Drive and follow the 6 parts.
    Also, if you downloaded files from the iTunes Store you will need to Authorize your new computer (and deauthorize your laptop if you won't use it anymore). After you imported your songs to your new desktop Mac, in iTunes From the Store menu, choose Authorize Computer and log in with your Apple ID.

  • How do I transfer iTunes music from one account to another?

    My family has always shared the same account for iTunes and we all have our own seperate libraries on different computers. But now, I'm making my own iTunes account and I obviously want my library to go from the old account to my new one. Is there any way to transfer my old music library to my new account?
    (I have about 3000 songs and they were all purchased from iTunes except for about 200 of them... if that helps in any way)

  • How do I transfer my music from one computer to another?

    I just bought a new Mac. My iTunes library was on an external hard drive associated with my old Mac. When I import the music, it creates a large "unknown album" with music that was previously identified -- mostly WAV and AIFF files. How do I get iTunes to recognize the structure of my old library?

    Note that WAV files are special in that the track information is not embedded in them as tags.  When you move an individual WAV file the track data does not travel with it.  Anyway, what you really want to do in your situation is:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
    With the above method your library will appear exactly as it was on your old computer.

  • How do I transfer purchased music from one account to another?

    I just recently got an iPad3 and made a new iTunes account on it. My mom and I have been sharing one iTunes account for a while on my computer, but now that we both have iPads we would like seperate accounts. I'm trying to take the purchased music off the joint account and transfer it to my account so I can delete the old one on my computer and sync my iPad to my computer. Help???

  • How do I transfer iTunes music from one user to another?

    WITHOUT deleting from the original user iTunes
    I only have 1 itunes account

    Copy the iTunes Music folder in Music to the other account using a external drive or the Shared Folder on the root directory.
    Use Finder > Go To Folder and enter
    and press Go, click on your hard drive name, then Users then Shared folder.
    However the playlists and song locations pathnames are written for the other user, but that can be edited with a Text Editor and "find and replaced" to match the pathname of the other user of the iTunes.db file.
    Likely the permisisons will have to be changed to that other user as well, when copied to the other User, Finder > Get Info on the folder and change the permisisons to the other user (or everyone) and click the spoky thing to "apply to enclosed items"

  • Can i transfer my backup from one laptop to another?

    I have my backup of apps and music stored in one laptop's iTunes account, how can I transfer my backup from one laptop to another?

    iTunes downloads are not stored in a backup (that contains documents, files, camera roll photos, app content/settings etc), neither are the contents of the device's Music and Videos apps - instead a restore would look to pick up your music, films, apps etc from your iTunes library.
    Your backups are stored under :
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then press Return.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, then choose Run. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then click OK.
    You will need to copy the entire backup directory and copy it into the relevant directory on your other laptop - it should then automatically be picked up by that computer's iTunes and show on the Devices tab in Edit > Preference (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac) on it.
