I have music I have purchased under an old email address itunes account, that I want to copy onto my new itunes in the cloud account. Can I do that?

Hi, I have music, both purchased and copied from CD .. on 2 different itunes accounts (as I needed to create a new itunes account when I lost my iphone ??). The new itunes in the cloud account only has music on it from when I replaced my dead iphone, and I am unable to log into the OLD itunes account on both iphone and new ipad .. as they automatically go the one in the cloud. However I can access all my music on the old account on my Windows PC.
Is there a way of copying/moving my old account music into the new one in the cloud, and if so, is it easy or do I need to take it to a Genius to do it?

TA22652 Some of my music was purchased with an old email address which I no longer have. I have forgotten the password to it and can no longer use music from old account. We moved and no longer have the same email service, but would like to use all music

Some of my music was purchased with an old email address (old account) which is no longer valid. Since it has been a long time since we used the email address we no longer know the password. Now I can't access the music from my old account due to using a new computer. I've purchased the music and downloaded cds with the old account and need to be able to get my music.
Thank you!!

I've had an Apple ID under an old email address. I have a new Apple ID under my current email. Is there a way to link or merge the two together? I don't remember the old password and that email address is no longer active.

You cannot merge accounts.
You need to sign into the old account on your computer.

I had an Apple ID under an old email address that I have now changed, but the old address still shows up in my iCloud account since I installed Yosemite. How do I get rid of that old account altogether?

My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

Your old ID connects to an icloud account containing all your data (email, contacts, etc.) If you then use a different ID, you will connect to a different account, which results in losing all your "apple" data, like emails, contacts, calendars, etc.
However, Apple IDs are also used to connect to an itunes store account, with is different. You can keep using the old itunes store ID to keep all your purchases (but if you change to a different ID, you will lose all purchased items) and use the new ID for icloud (but losing emails, contacts, etc. from the old account).

ITunes is making me authorize my computer to access music purchased with an old email address (never used as Apple ID).

iTunes is making me authorize my computer to access music purchased with an old email address (never used as Apple ID). How do I delete this old email address from my account if it doesn't even show up in my profile?

Same thing here. I am getting the authorization message with iPad, 2 iPods and 3 iPhones. I'm furious about this. I reviewed my itunes account info and everything looks accurate. I downloaded a movie this morning and I can't sync it to iPad. Let's see what explanation is offered.

Purchased Song with Old Email Address

I purchased some songs under an OLD email address and have since changed to comcast emal and now the songs need authorized to play. All the songs purchased with the OLD email needs authorized. All songs purchased with NEW email address play fine. I have aurthorized the OLD email sngs and it shows that it went through, but, when I actually try to play it, it says I still need to authorize the song. I'm stumped.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

They would convert the AOL Account into an Apple ID. It's still be that same account, but wouldn't be associated with AOL. You couldn't merge it with any other accounts.
You'd have to email them here for them to do such:

On my itunes there are many songs that will not play due to being purchased under a different email address and password from the one I have now how can i get these songs to play?

I have many songs in my itunes library that were purchased by me that did not convert to my new email address when I moved. How can I get them to play?

You have to use the same old Apple ID and password.
NOTE: All content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

I changed my email address and password.now when I try to purchase something ,my old email address comes up and I have no idea what the passwords and it is wrong,that is no longer my email

I cannot go the iTunes store to purchase because it is still pulling up my old email. Has this ever happened to any one and do they have any ideas.

Won't allow me to play music purchased by an old email address, even though my computer is authorized

I have a ton of music that I purchased when my Mac account had a yahoo email address. I've updated my account to include my current mac address. iTunes won't allow me to play any of the old music, and it asks me to sign in with my yahoo address version of my account - which doesn't exist anymore. So I authorize the current account, and iTunes says I'm already authorized. Still won't allow me to play the music. How can I get all of that music to be a part of my real, current iTunes account??? Thanks

If I have two iTunes accounts, and only want one to update my apps why does the other account keep opening?

Here's the issue-I have two iTunes accounts, yet account #1 always comes up when I want to update my apps. This occurs even when account #2 is logged in and has been synced from desktop to iPad. Additionally,Account #2 is logged in on the iPad and yet account #1 prompt appears when updating. Interestingly account #2 functions normal for iTunes purchases but not apps purchases. Any suggestions?

Apps will ALWAYS be tied to the account from which they were purchased. You will always have to update the apps from the account from which they were purchased.

Access purchases using from old email address with current ID

I have some songs that cut out part way through because they didn't get downloaded fully when I switched hard drives or something. I purchased them from the iTunes store with my own Apple ID, but it was when my Apple ID was associated with a different email address. I changed my email address on my account when I deactivated my old address. I can't log in to the Apple Store with the old address because Apple doesn't recognize it as being valid.
These past purchases don't show up in my purchase history, even though older ones do, also from my previous . I'd like to re-download the songs so that I have the full versions. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can do this? Thank you!

Thanks for the response.
My iTunes account window doesn't show the Unhide option as the example in the link does. I'm guessing that's because I haven't hidden anything, but maybe there's another explanation? It would be great if that were the answer.
The main album I'm hoping to re-download is still available in the store. The really frustrating part is that I've downloaded stuff from the cloud that I originally purchased as many as 8 years ago, but this one album that I bought in 2012 won't cooperate.

HT204053 I changed my Icloud account email and my account is no longer showing the 100.00 upgrade that I had purchased under my old email.

I changed my Icloud account email ,and since changing it, my 100.00 upgrade from my previous email, is not showing up on my new email account.

It sounds like you have set up an entirely new ID rather than just changing your existing ID.
