I'm not sure I'm understanding you correctly. There are certainly ways to transfer music between iPods and computers: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1356316
If you're talking about purchased music and such I'm not sure about that in relation to creating a new account that voided your old account and authorizing computers.
Maybe you could clarify and a more experienced person could reply!

Are you sure ? As far as I know an Apple ID can only be associated with one email address.
Go to My Apple ID and click Manage your account

Apple IDs cannot be deleted.
Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

I keep entering the correct password but it says that it is incorrect. I can’t get a reset all of my credentials don’t work. Now all my apps won’t work. it looks like they load for half a second then disappear. What can I do?

- Try contacting iTunes for the password problem:
Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
- For the other problem you can try a reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- The next standard thing to do is to download/install a new app but you cant 'do that.
- Instead, try restoring from backup.

HT203167 I had a previous iTunes account with another email address. Somehow when I bought a macbook Pro I created a new apple id and I can't access my old itunes account. Can anyone help me with this? Frustrated with myself.

I had an itune account and library with lots of my music and purchased music. I had it under another email address using Windows. I purchased a MacBook pro and in my learning how to use it, being so different, I created another apple id and now I can't access my old account or purchases... Is there anything I can do to fix this... Ann

If you have purchases on your iPod Shuffle that you want to sync back to iTunes, but are under the Apple ID you no longer have access to, you'll need to reset that account information. You can use this link to reset your password.
https://iforgot.apple.com/
If that doesn' work or help, you'll need to contact iTunes support and have them walk you through the process of resetting the older account information. Once you know the email and password again, you can authorize your new computer and transfer any purchases from this account back to iTunes.
For all non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need to the assistance of some sort of third party software that is not supported by Apple. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

My daughters iPad has just been factory restored from the apple shop, she was using my iTunes account with her email. When trying to create her own iTunes as she is the correct age it has come up that her email is already being used. How do we do this with he same email address

Hello spooner68,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to create an Apple ID for your daughter. Because her email address is associated with your Apple ID, you are receiving the message that the email address is in use.
To remedy this, you will have to first remove her email address from your account using steps 1-3 of the section titled "How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID" in the article below and then attempt to create her Apple ID with her email address:
How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID
If you have an email address that is already associated with another Apple ID, you may need to remove it from your other Apple ID before you can add it to your preferred Apple ID.
Sign in to My Apple ID with the Apple ID that has the email address already associated with it.
Find the email address that you want to move to your preferred Apple ID, then click Delete.
Click Save Changes, then click Sign Out at the top of the page.

My daughter has her own itunes account under her email/my credit card info for ipod touch; I now have iphone 4, with different itunes acct, but I want to put songs from her acct. onto my phone; how do I do this?

Things are even more confusing, because shortly after getting my iphone 4, I tried to update it to the newest version and the phone crashed; my husband reformatted the phone to factory settings, and in the process set up my phone with my daughter's email address. Now I can't seem to get it switched back to my own email address/account for the purpose of my itunes account. Am I missing something? I am NOT technologically adept.

Go to settings, store, click on apple ID, sign out and sign back in with your ID. You can put her music into your account. That is illegal.

Itunes account with old email address and now I can't get access to music?

Hi. I set my itunes up years a go on an old work email address,now my apple ID is a different personal email address. When I got my new iphone, the apple ID is my personal email address so my itunes account is now not linked. If I change my appleID on the phone I can see my music but then all my apps etc are all on my new apple ID and not my old email address! Hopefully that makes sense?!
How do I get all my music from my old itunes account on to my new phone with a new apple ID?

Someone else opened an itunes account with my email address

I attempted to change my email address on my itunes account and discovered that my current email address was already in use. I thought I must have registered it at some point and forgotten the password so I did the password reset. When I logged in, I discovered the account actually belonged to someone else.So obviously someone had the email address before I did and used it to open an itunes account that has never been updated. Since I've had the address for quite awhile, I can only assume that person does not use itunes anymore. I'd still like to update my account but can find no way to either close the other person's account or notify that person that they need to update their account. My other concern is that when I do update the account with my current email address, I worry that the person who previously had the address will decide to use itunes again and will end up in my account.
What do I do?
Thanks!

I see, oh you should definately take Carolyn's advice. I've needed to talk to an Account Security Rep a few times, and even though you may need to start the process online, they will talk to you on the phone in a case like this, as it's just too difficult to type out all of the complicated but critical details.

HT1918 Itunes account & change of email address

Hi,
How can I change the email address associated with my iTunes account? I followed the instructions in this article but there is no option to change the email address (which is my Apple ID), only an option to change password. Thanks

If you know the answers to your security questions then yes, from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 :
Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.
If you can't remember the answers and you don't have access to your current rescue email address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset first.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
You can then use the above steps to change your rescue email address for potential future use.

Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it. Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

You don't.
You will need a separate email address.

How do i reset the password in an account where the email address is no longer valid

I have an itunes account where the email address used is no longer valid and I also forgot the password.
I cannot choose the "forgot the password" option because the email notification will be sent to the email address that is no longer valid.
Is there an itunes administrator I can contact?
Thanks.

It is quite possible to have a different iCLoud AppleID from the iTunes one - have you set up maybe Phot Stream using an non-iTunes AppleID?
