I'd like to remove an ipod from one itunes account and create a seperste account for it without losing songs purchased on it. how do I do that?

my daughter would like to seperate her ipod from the family account(little brothers using her itunes cash). How can I do that with her being able to keep the content that is already on her ipod?

You can directly load content from different accounts on one device. It must be linked to only one at a time.

No. You can sync as many ipods as you like.

Remove all media from one iTunes account from iTunes library

Ah, love, marriage, divorce and the electronic age: many years ago, my ex-wife authorized me to listen to her iTunes music on my computer. Fast forward several years, through some divorce papers, and all the way to a new MBP that is now not authorized on her account.
It seems every time I try to play iTunes music, I get prompted to enter her password to listen songs she purchased on her account that are selected by iTunes random setting. It's difficult to individually find these songs and disruptive to work to constantly have to deal with it.
Is there a way to delete all media associated with someone else's iTunes account from my computer? For instance, is there a way to sort the library by media owner and then delete?
Thanks in advance.
(if it helps, I'm running Yosemite and iTunes 12.1.0.50)

Any ideas that don't involve downloading 3rd party software? Or at least rely on open source/freeware?
Not really.
You could get info on each individual file and see which iTunes account it was purchased with.
Or you could write some AppleScript to do it (which is what Dougscripts are) .

How can i switch an ipod from my itunes account to my sisters?

i am giving my ipod to my sister but i don't know how to remove the ipod from my itunes account and add it to my sisters new itunes account

The easiest way to change the account you are using on your mobile device is to scroll down to the bottom of the iTunes Store or App Store on the device and tap the Apple ID button. Then:
- To sign out, or to sign in to a different account, tap the Sign Out button.
- To sign back in, tap the Sign In button, then tap either Use Existing Apple ID or Create New Apple ID, and follow the on-screen instructions from there.

A friend of mine put music on my ipod from her itunes account. now i cant put my music up there from my itunes account without erasing the other songs. how can i fix this ?

"A friend of mine put music on my ipod from her itunes account. "
This is not legal. You have no legal right to that music.
" Now i can't put my music up there from my itunes account without erasing the other songs. "
That is correct.
How can i fix this?
There is nothing to fix. The ipod is designed to stop you from being able to steal music as you are doing.
Erase the music you got illegally and sync your own music to your own ipod.

ITunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video. Any thoughts on why not?

iTunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video.
I'm using 2 PCs, each with video files (.MP4) on their respective hard drives, and also one external drive with other video files on that I move between the two devices.
iTunes on one PC will (sometimes!) let me add video content from the external hard drive, which is clearly iTunes-compatible, because I can then copy it over to my iPod Nano. On the other PC, I couldn't load that same video from the external hard drive. But if I copied that same video on to the PC's internal hard drive first, then iTunes would let me import it. That was yesterday - now iTunes is refusing to load any files from the internal or external hard drive(s).
Any thoughts or suggestions, please?

So I tried copying the files from the external hard drive to a USB drive. I could import the video files from the USB drive!
So then I tried importing the same files on to my PC's internal hard drive again. I could import the video files from the internal hard drive!
So then I tried to import the very same files that failed to load on the very same PC previously. I could now import them!
I still can't import from the external hard drive directly, though.
I really don't think I like the process of importing things into iTunes very much... any suggestions on what's causing any of this behaviour would be very interesting.

If you enabled Find my iPhone then you should use that. If not, I'm afraid you're out of luck for finding it.
To manage your devices, go to Your Account in iTunes.

I have 5 computers authorized to use my iTunes. 2 of those computers do not exist and have had their hard drives destroyed. How do I remove those computer from my iTunes account?

I have 5 computers authorized to use my iTunes. 2 of those computers do not exist and have had their hard drives destroyed. How do I remove those computer from my iTunes account?

Begin by opening the iTunes program and going to the iTunes Store via the iTunes Store button in the top right.
Once you're at the iTunes Store, click on the Sign In button at the top left corner (if you're not signed in) or on your account name in the same location (if you're already signed in).
This will bring you to your iTunes account. In the top box, you'll see a section labelled Computer Authorizations towards the bottom. Next to it is a button that reads Deauthorize All. Click it.
A window will pop up asking you to confirm that this is what you want to do. Continue.
In just a few seconds, all 5 computers on your account will be deauthorized.
Now, re-authorize just the computers that you still use and you'll be all set.

I am selling my sons ipod and i need to reset the ipod from the itunes account because there is a password that no one remembers

I am selling my sons ipod and i need to reset the ipod from the itunes account because there is a password and no one remembers it. I am not an expert ( or even close) on the itunes stuff so I have tried everything I can see.

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten and your device is running iOS 6 or earlier, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod), however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password after erasing to be able to restore the device:

What sort of transaction ?
If it's an auto-renewing subscription that is due then there are instructions on this page for managing and stopping them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
If it's a pre-order that is being released then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5714
If it's something that you've already 'paid for' then purchases are considered final, but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will cancel/refund it : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

How do I completely remove an iPhone from my iTunes account

How do I completely remove an iPhone from my iTunes account, I have removed my ex's iPhone from the device list but I keep getting notifications saying that her phone is now using FaceTime and iMessage, I have changed my password as well

If she is using the same iCloud account you can sign into iCloud.com > Find my Phone > Devices > select her phone and wipe it only if she had Find my Phone enabled in the iCloud settings on the phone.
Otherwise, you will need to contact her.
She needs to sign out on the phone.
Settings > iMessage > Send & Recieve > Apple ID > Sign out
Settings > FaceTime > Apple ID > Sign ut
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Sign out
If she is using the same iCloud account too then:
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account

Multiple iPods on one Itunes account

I have had an iTunes account on my laptop for years, and have it currently hooked in withan iTouch.
My fiance just recently bought a new iPod, and I am wondering if I can hook her new iPod to my laptop w/ the iTunes account, and not ruin anything?
Also, she is about to buy a new laptop, so if she can put music on her new iPod from my iTunes account, when she puts her new iPod on the new laptop, will it wipe it off?
Thanks for your help in advance.
JM

Make sure each iPod has a unque name and just connect the iPods to the computer one at a time. Check the apps and other items that you want synced to each iPod. Also see:

Transferring apps from one itunes account to another

I bought the original IPad from a family member, so it was set up with there ITunes account and all of the apps that are on it. I would like to transfer everything that is currently on the IPad over to my computer with my ITunes account, without having to reset the IPad and purchase all of the apps all over again. I need to manage my IPad through my computer and ITunes account, not the one it was originally set up under.
I have managed to do this with an IPod, so I can imagine it would be possible with an IPad.

It's not possible to transfer purchases from one iTunes account to another
Not trying to doubt you or anything but you probably did something else with the iPod such as use 2 accounts simultaneously in which case you would have to log out and in each time you needed to update

HT2731 Can I transfer purchases from one itunes account to another?

Been using one itunes account for the whole family. Getting to tangled so we're separating and everybody is getting their own itunes account, but we'd like to transfer our purchases from the main account to our individual accounts. Daughter is keeping all of her itunes song purchases, I'd like to take some of my apps, and my wife would like to do the same thing. Can we do this and transfer ownership?

No.
Sorry.
