I have an older generation of Ipod and I am trying to upload all my songs from my old Ipod to my new Itunes account. How can I change my old Apple ID to my new one so I can keep all my songs without having to buy or hunt for them all over again?

Please help I am having the hardest time trying to get all my songs on to one account to make my life easier, but my Ipod is registered under an old apple account and I want to change it so all my old songs go onto my new apple ID. Any suggestions, please help?

Sorry meffie, you cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another. Are the songs under the old ID all purchased via iTunes?
If so, then sign onto the iTunes on the computer with your old ID and Authorize the computer for that Apple ID: Store on the top menu, then click on Authorize This Computer.
Once it is Authorized, you can then go to the iTunes Store and under Quick Links on the right-hand side, click on Purchased. Then click on Music, Songs, Not In this Library, and you should be able to see all of your purchased music, which you can download to your iTunes library individually by clicking on the cloud next to the song, or you can click on Download All at the bottom of the screen to download all of the tunes.
Cheers,
GB

  • I had my Itunes account disabled due to fraud, if i create a new itunes account how can i switch purchases and apps to the new ID?

    Hi ...
    Just be cause the account was disabled (Apple ID) doesn't mean you can't reset the password and have access to your iTunes purchases.
    Use the iforgot link to reset your password > Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
    If you have problems resetting, use the email form here >   Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us

  • TS1424 When i try to download or update my apps. Message pop out "there is an billing problem on your previous purchased". I tried to change my visa acct no. Still unable to access. Tried to create new itune account & access but they still showed old itun

    When tried to download or update it showed"there is a problem in billing from previous purchased" changed to new payment account still unable to access. Created new itune account still cant access, keep showing old account detailed. & asked for verification. Pls assist. Thank you.

    Also when I apply the safety copy it only imports the app the phones have had in common, so none of the apps that only the iPhone 4 had doesn't come in, only the ones I and the iPhone 4 has had in common. So you say the only way I can use the Apple ID to download on the old iPhone 4 is if I delete the apps that are in the phone and then download them again? How will that change the ID to download/update from. Won't it still have mine to update/download from?

  • I want to switch to a new itunes account , how do i do it ?

    the whole family is usin the same itunes account and i want to switch , how do i switch ? also is there any way of deleting all my contacts on my phone at once ?

    if you go to itunes and scroll all the way down it will say apple id (and it says ur apple id). if you press that a new screen will apear that gives you a few choices. press sign out. now you will still be on itunes scrolled down. now you will see at the bottom "sign in". press sign in. once you press that it gives you a choice of using an existing apple id or creating a new one. if you already have an account that is not connected with your whole family and you want to use that press use existing, but if you are looking to make a new apple id, press create apple id. follow the instructions to create a new one. all of your existing information on your phone should stay but you should lose all contacts on your phone that arent originaly yours.

  • HT1414 How do I change my original Apple ID to my new email address? I have changed it but when I go to the App Store, the old id keeps coming up and I no longer have a password for it. Therefore I can't download anything.

    I have tried to change my Apple ID and was successful but when I go to the App Store my Apple ID appears as the old one. I no longer have a password for it. Now I can't download anything. What do I do?

    Your apps were purchased under the old ID, so they will have to be deleted and re-purchased/downloaded under your new one.

  • HT204266 How do I change my existing apple ID to a new one

    I'm trying to purchase apps using an iTunes gift card but when I click gift app my old apple ID keeps coming up but I have created a new ID and would like to use that 1

    You should not create a new AppleID. Simply update your old AplpeID with any new info.

    You cannot use a gift card balance to gift iTunes store content to others.

  • Can't set up new itunes account because confirmation email comes to old email address (can see it on iMac but can't access on iPhone)...what to do?

     

    Use Manage Apple ID in the link provided. You do not need to create a new Apple ID as the other poster suggesred. Once done you old e-mail wo't be used as an Apple ID anymore.
    Do you have music, apps or books bought using the old Apple ID?
    Note: Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

  • How can I change my primary apple id to a new email address?

    I have an apple id that is linked to an email address that will be changing?  I would somehow like to change my primary address so that I can still access my apple id via an email address that isn't an me.com account.  Also, I had other apple id accounts like to different email addresses that I would now like merged together with my current apple id.  Is that possible?

  • How do I change me current Apple ID to a new?

    My current Apple ID is a aol.com (for purchases, etc) and I most recently got iCloud set up with a @me.com   email.
    I want to make my primary email to be the @me.com   email for my Apple ID. Although when I go through the steps
    to change the ID from aol it states that I can't use a @me.com   email.  Hopefully there's help out there.
    Thanks in advance

    Don't do it!
    All your purchases are linked to your Apple ID. You can change your email address as much as you want but your Apple ID is just a jumble of characters that happens to look like an email address.
    A new Apple ID will not enable you to use your previously purchases apps, music, movies, etc.
    If you created a new Apple ID already, don't use it and don't buy anything with it.
    What's worse is that if you already created a new Apple ID, [email protected] for example, you won't be able to use [email protected] as an email for your existing Apple ID. Yes I know that doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's the way it is.
